For you...Abhishek ;)

I thank God sent you to me,
For you and I were meant to be.
We have a bond too strong to break,
We have a love no one can take.

In you, I have found a love so true,
My heart is filled with love for you.
Every time I see you, my heart skips a beat,
You make my life whole, you make my life complete.


My love for you grows more with each passing day,
The thought of your gorgeous face takes my breath away:
Those brown eyes fill my soul with happiness,
Those luscious lips I love to kiss.


The day when I become your wife,
Will be the happiest day of my life.
Even thinking of that day makes me smile,
I can't wait 'till I walk down that aisle.


I dream of that day when we'll both say, I do
For always and forever... I will love you.

Risk toh Spiderman ko bhi lena padta hai..!! ;)

Lets c are u going to take a risk this time...? eh....

Any answers??

Feelings...

When Feelings Fail
In a garden of flowers
I see u every morning,
your move so soft
careful not to hurt anybody

It is you oh passing WIND
whom I've cherished all my life,
as will always.

It would be difficult
to start a morning
without feeling u by my side;
that would be a day, I guess,
When my feelings fail to feel

The 99 Club..

A very apt article depicting the rat race that all of us are involved in our Day to day life. Please read and if you happen to be a member of this 'elite Club, then quit this club today itself and give an opportunity for Happiness and peace of mind to enter your life. It is really worth a try.

Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content..

One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy. The King asked the servant, 'Why are you so happy?'

The man replied, 'Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies.'

The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought the advice of his most trusted advisor.

After hearing the King's woes and the servant's' story, the advisor said, 'Your Majesty, I believe that the servant Has not been made part of The 99 Club.'

'The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?' the King inquired.

The advisor replied, 'Your Majesty, to truly know what The 99 Club is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant's doorstep.'

When the servant saw the bag, he took it into his house. When he opened the bag, he let out a great shout of joy... So many gold coins!

He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins. He wondered, 'What could've happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!' He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. Finally, exhausted he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection.

From that day, the servant's life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped singing while he worked.

Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he sought his advisor's help, the advisor said, 'Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club..'

He continued, 'The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough To be happy but are never contented, because they're always yearning and Striving for that extra 1 saying to themselves: 'Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.'

We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute we're given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our growing needs and desires.

That's the 99 club.

LIFE ROCKS!!

Last month, I read of a guy selling his life - his name and identity, his possessions and his personal quirks, all rolled into one - on ebay. Alfie James, a collegue, decided to do the same, though I am not sure if he would actually do it, in spirit atleast. The idea in his case wasn't to make a quick buck but to try and appreciate what your life holds, everything good about being you that you dont necessarily realise till you put it down in black and white.

So I did. I am a great one for lists anyway. But even I the eternal optimist was staggered by all I've got to be kicked about in my life - work, friends, travel, family, even relationships that did not work outbut were great while they lasted. Not to mention some of my very personal quirks that I realised define me in many ways, like my paranoia about answering unknown numbers on my cell, my inability to take a bite of chocolate - I have to have the entire bar, whtever the size - and my fondness of all things black, be they cars, clothes or moods!I went through my list again, struck that I dont want to be anyone but me, not because I am perfect but because being imperfect doesnt mean being unhappy. Sure I have issues - impatience, procrastination, laziness. But I have more that tips the other side of the scale.
thats why life is all about looking good and feeling even better.

Hell, the point is, I realised that no matter what's going on in my life, its SIMPLY GREAT to be ME!!;)

My fav line...

Before you slip into unconciousness, I'd like to have another kiss, another flashing chance at bliss, another kiss, another kiss.

Summer Coolers!!

Hey guys..

Its been quite some time since I wrote last...its just that lots has been happening on virtually all fronts.. and then this summer's has been different from the earlier one's as we all know, pretty nice to me too : here's how:

I got stuck in this traffic jam and had to take a new route from the village side..I did have my doubts as I thought my vehicle would get stuck! But as I turned out it was quite an adventure..Imagine the muddy village roads...drizzling rain...n a Honda Civic in the midst of a village bypass...nobody around,just animals on the road...tractors and green lands...no trees on both sides and no street light! No directions and nobody to give directions either.. so I had to figure it out myself!!WooHoooo!! The village beauty was breathtaking..n it was one of the best experiences I ever had!

Getting wet in the first monsoon rain! I love to feel the rain drops hitting my body n a chill runs down my spine with every drop! I love to feel the raindrops hitting my face(minus my specs ofcourse!) n drizzling down my neck...

Dancing in the summer rain with a dozen friends and their wifes!;) It was crazy! n wild n most amusing jig tht we ever did!

Getting to know tht some ppl look upto me! phew! that was heavy! but nice.;)

Friends place: A dozen friends...nice music(rock)..dim lights..liquor chocolates...liqour too... suddenly a a love songs..and all the couples get up n start their own Ball-Dance! Nice n romantic.

A gr8 spa: A gr8 head Massage...n the receptionist hitting on you!! Now thats what you call an icing on the cake!

Home: Everybody calling you up all the time for information/guidance etc. etc. Bugging sumtimes...but I love all the attention. Am glad.

5 couples: All working out together....n taking a splash!and I get to teach swimming too...(grins)..Its so nice.. am glad I have such friends. U rock guys!

I hope this continues...;)

ME: Goal Keeper??

I have been gripped with the Soccer mania off late..watching UEFA and incidently even coming across movies on it on various muvi channels to my surprise(not tht I dont love it!!...I DO I DO..ABSOLUTELY!!;)..tht, btw, is in addition to talking(n arguing n fighting abt Club Rivalry with my Londoner friends!!)...following it like a religion rite now with UEFA in its last leg...
I was watching my fav. team MAN UTD. playing against one of the other teams when I realised this...
Being a good person is like being a goal keeper...

My Fav....??

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters!!

An Action packed Fortnight!!

It was an amazing fortnight guys....was busy like its been all life....n there was Happiness galore all around me....seemed like a perfect world!
- It started with an OSO Theme Party...it was awesome with dancers..hmm...u know what I am talking about! n I was dressed to KILL!!(grins)

- The function went off really well...had a blast each nite...

- I seemed to have picked up this line, an old saying, from a recent movi.."Badi shiddat se maine tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai....Ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai"!! In English ..If u really want something, the whole world conspires for u to get it!! I somehow really like it since the time I read it...for me it has a meaning....Nothing can come in between If U REALLY want something more than yourself..a selfless craving more than your life...!! Sadly its not the case always..n u end up meeting ungrateful ppl in life!
- Moving on,I noticed that there has been quite a remarkable change in me...I noticed it during this wedding.....I have started LIKING KIDS!!;) OMG, whats wrong with me!!Holy Shit!!I cant believe I said it of all the people!! People who know me would know!
- One more strange thing, suddenly everybody I meet, I know or I come across... seems to be getting hooked up!! from my neighbours..to friends..to family friends..people I am not in touch with..even people i HATE!! i have quite a list here!

Guys..I am not as gud in writing as some of the other ones on the net....but all I wanted to share was what I felt during this fortnight...the criss-crossing of thoughts..the constant turmoil...the umpteen hope...strengthening bonds...and re-connecting with family! It was a dream run..and am glad it happened..it has brought out a different person in me...one whose Happy and Content!!Aptly said "I feel like the King of the world"!!;)

My BEST Half......Mudita ;)

My Bundle of joy...

You are my sanity..
And at times; insanity

Everything changes with time,
Even the sun doesnt shine forever

People come and go,Change..
Life is created and destroyed

But you defy the unpredictability of it all,

What you feel is what you are,
And what you are is beautiful.

My Bheja Fried!! ;)

To my FREINDS Wife without whose help/narration this could not have bin completed in HALF TIME!! ;)

The 'feel-happy' medicine!!

Wife and I are cruising. I am at the wheel. Wife is giving instructions. She is also reacting rather personally to each potential road crisis as if all of it is my making.

"Maybe you should get a driver," wife says. " You look nervous driving." Your instructions and hyperventions dont help either, I want to say, but dont. " I am nervous," I agree. I realise we are always in agreement when there is a negative judgement about me. "No one observes rules in this city," I add, staring at two young girls in tights. One of them is wearing a pair of hipsters cut so low, they might have been stockings. Maybe they are stockings. And she is just a very hopeful person.

"You shouldnt be staring at girls," wife says. What else am I to do in a traffic jam, I want to ask, but dont. Has she got nothing better to do than watch what I am watching?? Cant a man just lust? "The traffic here is not good for my cholestrol," I say. "You need to drink less," wife says. It occurs to me she has a solution for all my crisis and all of them seem to involve my sacrificing one pleasure or another. "Lets go to my homeopath," wife says. "He is also a counsellor. You need a counsellor."
" I dont know about that," I say.
" I do. Lets please go to the counsellor now. You are always stressed and this guy is really good."
"All right then,lets go," I say.

The homeopath welcomes us into his cabin on the mezzanine floor. We sit, and I see him exchanging knowing glances with wife. Maybe this is a set-up? "So you feel stressed?" The homeopath asks me.
"Yes"
"Has he any fears?" the homeopath asks wife. Maybe he thinks she is my mother?. "So many fears," wife sighs, looking at me." What are your fears?" the homeopath asks me. " I fear someting bad is going to happen any time," I say. "Hmm," the homeopath says and nods his head at wife. "Anxiety neurosis," he says. Wife smiles at him in understanding. Naturally, her synpathies are with the homeopath. "What else?" the homeopath asks. "You feel people are out to get you?"
"All the time."
"Paranoia," the homeopath whispers, as if that was the name of a very close friend who recently died. "Does he shout at home?" he asks wife. Wife nods. "Only when I cant find my underwear in the cupboard," I say.
The homeopath looks at wife. I am hoping the homeopath will hold her responsible for the missing briefs, but nothing of that sort transpires. Wife smiles at him. Homeopath smiles back. "Is he impatient?"
"Is he impatient!" wife says. "He is Mr. Jhut-Put Chowdhary. He is very very impatient. The most impatient man I know,in fact."
"Only when I am in a hurry," I say. "I am always having too many things to do." Thats sounds weak even to me.
"Hmm," the homeopath says."Is he confident?" he asks wife. Hello, I am here, but never mind me, I feel like saying,but dont.
"He seems to be on the face of it,but I am not too sure,"wife says helpfully."Yes, ofcourse,you never know, it could be all an act," the homeopath says.
Maybe you two should get married,I feel like saying,but I dont. "I am pretty cool with people," I say. "Hmm," the homeopath says. "Isnt he a writer or something?" he asks wife. She nods.
"I came across something you wrote the other day.Sad and confused,it struck me. Why do you write sad stuff?"
"Not sad.Just truth and irony."
"All negative stuff,really.Why do you feel so negative,huh?"
I was hoping you would figure that out for me."
"Hmm," the homeopath says.
"Write happy stuff.Feel happy stuff.Talk happy stuff,okay? I have got some really good medicine here for you. Take it regularly and you will feel happy."
"If I feel too happy,I might stop writing,you know?"
"Never mind," wife says.
She says it as if no one would miss it if I stopped writing."Ofcourse I mind," I say. "Time to choose between writing and happiness," the homeopath says, handing me a bottle of medicine and a measuring glass. "And between family and writing as well," wife says. Such choices, I want to say,but dont.
we get into the car. I am at the wheel. wife is giving instructions.

Its All BLACK!! ;)

If people can be colour,I'm black for sure, and not just because I wear the colour to the exclusion of everything else. Black isnt just a colour, its a state of mind,a personality quirk,a mood; black is wicked,mysterious,enigmatic,intense; it is classic,stylish,chic; it is versatile and unpredictable; it is great standalone, and equally perfect combined with something else; it has drama and spunk; it has layers and textures; basically, ans as you can clearly tell, I'm in love with black.
But there's loads of black beyond style; whether you're talking black moods, or the dard side of ourselves. Much as I lust after black, its not all feelgood. it also denotes Death!! An End! However I dont mean it only in the negative sense...afterall death can be beautiful too..but either way it signifies an end from where there is no return. the colour is somwhat akin to the forbidden fruit-irresistible. Its a bit scary but you cant help finding out more about it. Anything black evokes a very satiable curiosity in me.
There's a saying as we all know "Black is beautiful"..it is!! At night, when the serene black cloaks the sky with a sprinking of glittering stars, thats the time that black looks utmost beautiful!! I simply adore and love the beaches when the surroundings are velvety-black, with the dark waves lapping at the shores and the palm trees swaying away to glory...the sound they make that time is simply amazing.

(PS: The reason am all so exited about black is..I have a black theme party tonite.. secondly I just bought this fab shirt!!);)
