I'm still alive


I was on audit at G. T. B Nagar, it's in Harbour Line. I had to report at 9.30am. I left from home around 7.45am. All was well. I got the desired fast train to reach Kurla in the expected time and then I got ticket for G. T. B. Nagar and boarded train as well. Its just next station from Chunabhatti.
I was standing in the train and was waiting eagerly for it to start but it did not listen to me but soon I listened an announcement that there was some problem in that route and passengers are allowed to go from other route i.e. from Sandust Road. I got down and crossed the bridge and reached the platform from where I can get the other routes train, though it was too long cut  but could not think much on it and was waiting for the fast train towards C. S. T. to come, so that I can get reach Byculla and then from there again get down to slow route and go to Sandust Road and from there finally to G. T. B. Nagar Station.
Train was to arrive, there was crowd than usual, or may be not, but since I had never boarded train from Kurla that I felt its crowded. Train stopped, people quickly got down, those who wanted to and others quickly started getting in like me. I struggled hard to get in and with my right hand I grabbed the middle rod and with other hand one of the doors handle. I didn't had space to keep any of my foot. My colleague was to my left and she too was in such condition. She then asked if we should leave this train as there was no place. She still had her footstep on the foot board, I was struggling to keep at least one foot. Before I could decide to get down, the train slowly picked up and finally I answered my colleague that train has started and we would not be able to get down, our back was facing the platform. We were asking people to get inside. I was still struggling to keep my foot. Finally my right foots toe found some place. Soon I noticed that I'm too much hanging out of the train. I was in the very first ladies car towards C. S. T. There was one luggage car between the first ladies and the drivers cabin. The boys were shouting at me to get in quickly, on the other side my colleague was shouting that she will fall. The boys again shouted that there are pillars and if I were to hang out this much I would surely get hit by them. I leaned my body inside quickly as much possible, as I saw one of the pillar approaching. Finally boys asked the driver to halt the train for I was not able to help myself much. There was no place for me to get in. I was still on one toe but my hands had good grip. The train stopped in between for few minutes. Ladies in front of me were begging others that were ahead of them, to get inside for I was in danger.
My colleague was too shouting out and was almost in about to cry situation. Soon there was some space. I could now keep my both footsteps in the train. My colleague got in completely. Train again started, slowly. I was still on the door, but with fair space, some inquired if I'm fine? Some scolding that I should not take this much risk! Boys were still staring and advising that I should get in quickly and not wait and hang till the last moment. I was not able to control myself and was only smiling at them for unknown reasons, if you would know me, it's my normal behavior. I always smile :) Boys were staring me with a question mark on their face as to I'm some mad person. I thanked them. My colleague was looking at me and I could see her, she was shivering. Looking me laughing, she too smiled. Boys were still looking at me that I'm smiling, they don't know me so they were very much puzzled. As, if there would have been any other girl in my condition she would have till now cried buckets of tears according to one of the Aunt. Soon my stop was to come and I got in heading towards the next door where the station would come. There was so much of crowd. People inside were asking me, if I was the one who was hanging and I was nodding. Then they gave me all their  advice, some got angry as if I did it purposely. Never mind, I heard all of them patiently. Finally I got down and thought that finally there would not be any more questions and wise advice. But before I could conclude this relief one girl inquired if I was fine? and I replied that I didn't got hurt and am very fine.
My colleague was getting emotional about all this even though she was to my left and she had both her footsteps on the train and was still shouting at the top of her voice and there was me who was relaxed even though others panicked looking me and that too if boys react so seriously it indicates that the matter was actually serious. She was looking at my face and I was still smiling.

We then boarded train from Sandust Road to our final destination. And we reached the audit place at 11.30am where we would have reached if things would have worked well around 9.45am.
So plans change!

It still exists


Me: Today my cousins sis had a baby girl, wow! m happy. :)
Friend 1: first child?
Me: Nay, she already have a daughter, in fact coincidentally all the three cousin sisters of mine have daughters as their first child! Now they want to see if I'll continue the trend or not. But they'll have to wait more and more for it. ;) :P
Friend 1: OOH second child also a girl, then there might be a different environment isn't it?
Me: yeah, thought she is at native and I haven't yet talked to her but I can imagine what might be happening!
Friend 1: I can remember when I was about to born my dad was not there and after my birth when my relatives called to my dad they were sad to inform him but my dad declared that I always knew that I'll have a baby girl. And my relatives asked him that you already have a daughter then why you wanted a daughter again? And my dad replied that my first daughter loves and care for me so much that I want more love and care so I wanted one more daughter. Simple! :)
Friend 2: My grandmother actually cried because I was also a girl and my Di was the first child.
Me: How rude is that, but you know what, my Mom always say that she actually prayed to God to have a baby girl. I was by choice and not by chance! I know that they had a baby boy already and hence it doesn't matter much if then you have a daughter but still the generation in which we borned was still not that modern that anybody would wish to have a daughter child but my Mom did. She always said that she use to pray and ask God to give her a daughter and all my relatives would say that since she was fond of a girl she will not have a girl child and when I was born she was very very happy. :)
Friend 1: Hmm... We can see that! In fact till you told us about your bro I always thought that you are single child.
Friend 2: I have been to her house so many times and the way her Mom pamper her and she behave so immaturely...
Me: Chup na... (covering her mouth)
But you know one of my cousin brother also have two daughters and at the time of second child everybody expected to have a baby boy and as usual every one was disappointed but now you would not believe the way she is brought up, now her grandparents don't let her mother go to her parents house because they can't live without those two granddaughters. I don't understand that why should they behave so at the time of birth, I can't even imagine that how it might be feeling when you come to know that your own family was not happy when you were born.
Of course we don't decide who we want to be, a boy or a girl? Then why revenge kind of is taken out from girls. And mostly females of the family would only do all such things, I don't know why they forget that they are also somebody's daughter. Women are their own enemies.
Friend 1: chill now, it's part of our life. No matter we like or not but it still exists.
ME: Yeah, we can only say that from the outer heart but these kind of distinctions happens and don't know till when it will happen? All I know is, it's sad to have such people around and I hate them. Really! Very much! :/

All are born alike in this world...
But only few are gifted to know about all their strengths and weaknesses...
Each time you find a problem before you, thats the opportunity to know them...
So, Think twice before running away from them or leaving it to destiny, because you may not have another opportunity to know yourself...

‎"The whole idea that children are your possession is wrong.
They are born through you, but they do not belong to you.
You have a past, they have only a future.
They are not going to live according to you.
To live according to you will be almost equivalent to not living at all.
They have to live according to themselves — in freedom, in responsibility, in danger, in challenge.

Out of all the relations we make in our journey of life till our last breath....

The relation with "MOTHER" is 9 months more.....!!!

LOVE YOU MOM :* :* :*

Mumma, Bhoooo……

Today I didn’t had evening class so I reached home around 7pm. When I knocked the door, Bro opened and I went directly in the Bedroom along with my Bag. Mom was in Kitchen but she saw me going in. After I changed, I came out from the room hanging the bag on my shoulders as I usually do when I go to class. I came in hall, Mom saw me as I passed by the kitchen. But she wondered as to why I hanged my bag around my shoulders?
As soon as I entered the hall Bro closed the door which was open since I entered. I dropped my Bag near the Sofa. Mom heard the noise of the closing door and asked who has come? Bro answered her that no one has come but I had shut the door and went to class. I quickly read my Bro’s evil mind and ran to the second room and hided behind the rooms door, carefully along with my Bag before Mom come out to see me. 
Mom entered the hall and murmured that this is not possible I always go class directly from office and I had informed her in the morning that I don’t have class in the evening but only in the morning. Bro started convincing Mom that I had said that class is from 8pm so I came home and went back. 
Whenever there is any such hide-n-seek game Mobile phone is bound to play its role in some or other way. No, my cell didn’t rang but I forgot it on the sofa. Mom took this as strong evidence that I was at home, as I hardly forget my cell phone at home. Bro attempted an excuse that in hurry I forgot it but Mom without paying any heal to Bro’s comments started searching me. I was having fun in dark room, I covered my mouth as was not able to control my laughter but I was consciously listening to whatever was happening. Mom opened the main Door to see if I’m hiding outside, but I was not there. Neighborhood door was open and Mom asked the Aunt if she saw me going down stairs? The lady denied that she was inside hence didn’t know. Mom murmured that our neighbors are of no use and returned back. Bro was smiling and trying to prove Mom that what he is saying is correct and I went to class. 
Finally, Mom approached towards the room where I was hiding, as she knows her daughter and her mischief! She didn’t give up. I went back more close to the wall. As soon as Mom entered I knew that she won’t be able to see anything and I shouted out loudly Bhoooo... 

Mom got scared and shouted and we both went out of the room, Mom was shivering, Bro and I were not able to control our laughter we were literally rolling on floor… Dad finally showed some signs of presence and smiled. Mom attempted to slap us but we escaped successfully! :P Mom joined us in the laughter ride after recovering from the thrill, horror and anger.
We all were laughing out loudly.
When such incidents take place, I and Bro keep on laughing till we go dead! Even if we stop for once, again when we see each others face we burst out into same laughter.
OMG! My stomach is paining; in fact my cheeks are also paining...
:D

Mom remembered that she forgot the chapati on the pan and it burned totally! Ooops...
But it was so much fun, Wow!!!!

That li'l angel


I was in train, listening to songs and saw this li'l angel running here and there. She was a dark but her beauty was very attractive to force me to come out of my music world. I was trying to stop her but she was outta reach. When the lady next to the seat of mine called her out then she came to a stand still mode for few moments. The lady bought few bindi packets from the li'l angel and she paid her. I was staring at her continuously, she noticed me and gave me a smile. I smiled back in anticipation and asked for the bindi basket to buy some. We were still smiling at each other for some unknown reasons. I started search in the basket to get few bindies, in the mean time she again started running from here to there collecting money from people who bought and still to pay and to those whom she had to return the excess amount. I was done with my selection and was trying to fetch her to ask for the price that I'm supposed to pay her. I called her twice and She never heard it, finally when somebody asked for the basket that she remembered that I exist and came running to me and requested, didi ho jayega to unhe de dena and was about to run back but I fetched her and finally asked if she can take out some time and tell me how much I'm supposed to pay her?! We again smiled to each other and I gave her money and She was supposed to give me the change. She again ran to somebody and got me the change. She was to return me Rs.40 back. She was in front of me with money in her hands but she was doing something. I was by that time looking at her with some thoughts in my mind. Finally, she was done with her stuffs to which I thought that she was calculating the money but what she did was then clear to me when she handed back to me those 40 rupees change.
She had placed two notes of ten above and below and in between she folded the rest two notes by folding them in halfs horizontally and then folded all of them in to half. I looked at the creativity and smiled. She was waiting there in front of me to see some reaction. I thanked her and we again smiled to each other.
I was wondering if she could wait for few moments and have some talk with me but that was not possible she took her basket from the lady and settled everything and was about to get down. I searched in my bag to see if I have something for her, but I didn't had any chocolates to give her. :(
I knew that she could not wait more and finally she got down with her stuffs.
May be she would start some Other Journey!
May God Bless Her! May she always smile like that :)

Other side of the coin

Me: Hi, so you are looking out for jobs?

friend: Yeah, I'm trying for Finance but it's tough to get there everyone wants minimum 5-7years of work experience!

Me: Ya, I have seen few vacancies on our institutes site whose requirements were such. I wonder how you can get experience until you actually start working. :)

friend: Let’s see if I get calls, I've applied at few places.

Me: All the best!

friend: So what would you like to do after you get the degree?

Me: Don't worry me don't like finance much...

friend: Ya ya, you Women always have some different criteria. You all want a job where there should not be much work, timing should be after 10am but you should be leaving office before 6pm, you want 5 working days job and weekend leave, blah blah...

Me: Yup! You are right bro, because Woman know that after 6pm our family also needs us, when she will reach home there will not be food ready on the table but she will have to prepare it and keep it ready so that when her children and husband comes home she can serve them hot food when they are hungry. She knows that her children would need her for sharing their schools activity, they might need her to help them with their Homework; they might wish to spend Sunday time with their Mom. Others can come at home and go but for her it's not just a Mansion but a place where they dwell so she has the responsibility of its cleaning and dusting. Even though Men and Women would have spent equal amount of sleepless nights in studying, even though they would have worked hard equally at the workplace, even though their aspirations would be of achieving the same success, even though their Parents spend same sum for building their carriers but we always forget that the nature has itself made Woman different from Man. She can work with equal enthusiasm but she also knows that she is the one who is supposed to take care of her family, she is the one who is supposed to leave her Parents house, the one with whom she had spent so many year even though she love them so much but she has to leave them for that one Man even though you may call that Women are too emotional but she is the one who face that separation. She knows that she is supposed to carry a baby in her womb for 9months, she is the one who is supposed to take those pains and mind you those who go through only know it. Even though you may say that Woman is weak but God knows who can bear what and so he has decided who should bear that pain as well. She is the one who knows that her baby needs her, at that time she don't think that she had spent sleepless nights and studied but she knows that she will have to spend more sleepless nights and take care of her child. She quits her job and keeps aside all her aspirations which she had when she was young and single, but she knows that with time she needs to change her priorities. And she even knows that soon her child would forget all her sacrifices and may be when he grows up he would be more proud of her father that he is a Director but not of her mother who might be having equal degree and opportunities but she would have sacrificed all this for him who now thinks that Women are less successful. How many Men quit so that they can take care of their children? I haven’t yet heard of even one! May be my short of knowledge but I can bet that the ratio will be not that countable.
Don't forget, behind every successful Man there is a Woman. Had this woman have not been there you would have been forced to at least share the chores. It's her modesty that she quit for you, so that you as a Working person can grow with your aspirations and dreams and as a child you can know the values and love of being a human. It's comparatively easy to strive at work than to see your dreams dying in front of you or rather kill it by yourself with the known fact that this sacrifice of your might go overlooked. But the one who do so much will definitely not think such credits. She do it for she knows how to love.
