learning from death....

there r some episodes in our life that we vividly remember... even if years n years pass by... its been 5 years now...

i remember this day 5 years back as if it has happened just yesterday... if i close my eyes i can even remember the expressions on the faces of my family on this day... the look in their eyes... the look of sadness... the look of losing someone close... knowing that he was dying...

id like to requote a verse i had posted long back... its a verse by gulzar... it goes like this...

who knows,
when and where it will strike?
i m more scared of life.
death is okay
it strikes only once.

i saw my papa die right in front of my eyes... he was holding my hand... he was scared... i could sense it... scared not coz he was dying... scared coz he was worried what would happen to us??... but i think he knew we would b ok... we had a wonderful family... who would see to it that we never had ny major problems in life...

my mom... i remember her those days when he was real ill... not once did she cry in front of nyone... the strength that she emanated those days was amazing... all day she'd b with him... while i would run away from all the pain.. go away to my office... just generally be away from home... i would cry in front of her... but not once did she shed tears... i have learnt so much from her... to b strong n practical in life... thanx mom i love u loads... :)

my brother... he is younger to me... i still wonder how he coped with all this... looking after dad, taking him to the docs, looking after the family business... n wat not...

my family... every single day they would visit my dad... 4 months to be precise... for hours they would talk to him.. laugh with him.. cry for him when he wasnt looking... i m so thankful to them... without them i dont know what we would have done... one important thing that i have learnt is how important a family is...

my uncle... he never went home for days together... would stay with papa... all day he would sleep n night he would stay awake with dad... dad could not sleep... he was suffering from cancer... his legs would ache... all nite my uncle would stay with him... help him in his pain... i can never forget what he has done for us... he doesnt have a daughter... when i got married i asked him to b my dad (for the ceremony of kanyadaan).. he cried when i said that... hes my papa now :)...

my friends... tas, darsh, manish, preeti, nirav, my boss and all my office colleagues who saw me cry all day... n supported me... thank you all for being so lovely to me... i remember that day when every single one of you came to see me n help me with my pain.. i remember all your hugs n words of support...

thank you all once again... i have learnt a lot from all of you... all of you have made my life richer n better... i will never forget what you guys have done for me...

n for my papa... i can never forget him... coz i m what i m today because of him...

love u papa where ever u r... :))

the power of hurt....

it is said that people who r close to u hurt u the most... or rather they have that power... even if they dont mean to do so... n infinite number of pathetic comments from anonymous has never effected me... but one unmeant for action of those close to me has hurt me a lot... thats wat happened to me some days back...

let me narrate the whole story... my idea of quitting blogging isnt real new... i have been thinking about it since a long time now... not because i dont have nything more to say... its more because i dont have much time... to write or visit blogs n comment... i had spoken to invincible about this too... but he asked me to go on for a while...

but then something happened on tuesday which actually got me to write the last post about me quitting... there r some of my blogger friends who met up on saturday... n it was a real fast decision... they generally stay in the same vicinity so they met up... i read about this on invincibles post n i was hurt... i know i was being real mean n silly... but it really hurt me... n naah not because i wasnt even asked.. thats ok.. people forget... but what hurt me was that even after meeting up no one told me about it... i guess i was expecting a lot... i dont know... but i guess its just a human trait...

so this is wat led me to actually write up the post... the one saying goodbye... but little did i know what was going to happen after this...

the love n affection i have been showered by all of u has left me speechless... i dont know what to do... all day i have been contemplating... n i think this is the time i m going to pray to God n thank Him for giving me such lovely n beautiful friends... n those of u who i have never interacted with too...

so heres a message to all of u...

bachelors in 'phekology'

'phekology'... a total mumbaiya terminology... i dont think people who aren't mumbaites even know that this word exists... n others who know this word must definitely be hindi bollywood movie fanatics :p...

so whats 'phekology'?

in simple words it means to go on bluffing... on and on you go and dont even realise that people are calling you a 'pheku'... n ofcoz if u habe ever noticed theres a very animated version of showing that someone is a pheku... all u have to do is spread out your palm and shake it in front of the bluffer saying 'lapettt'... people will realise the guy is a pheku all the way... lol

i have met some such people too....

(1) mr shyam : we were in college when there was this new guy who joins college... shyam... a cute little guy who was always talking and laughing... so one day we asked him 'hey shyam where did u study earlier?'... n he very proudly says 'cal'... now ofcoz when one hears this word some of the first things that strike us are sun, sea, chicks, hunks n hollywood... wowwww... california... that was pretty impressive... some months later one of our other friends happened to talk to his mom on phone... this guy had his dads business going in california... so he casually asked... 'aunty where did shyam live in california?'... his mothers like 'california??? shyam has never been to california... all these years he was in calcutta'... awww calcutta!!!... cal!!!!.... duhhh

(2) my uncle : awww ok hes my favourite uncle... n he can bluff like an expert... if u ask me bluffing around without the other person knowing what u r upto shows how talented a 'bluffer' u r... i remember we were kids... n we had all gone to pune for some trip... all as in my whole family... so we were approximately 15 people... n we were at some river front... it was some sort of a tourist place... so there were many people around... n my uncle was in a funky mood... he gathered all of us kiddos n asked us to follow him... n ofcoz we were given strict instructions to keep our faces straight n not show that we knew him.... then he stood under a tree n started a speech... he went on n on about the place n its history n y was it so important... as if he was an expert historian... in 2 mins time all the tourists had gathered around listening to his bluff... n asking him all sort of questions... n ofcoz when uncles so good how can my brothers b left aside... they asked him real smart questions n he answered them back as if he was their teacher... lol i m sure this would have gone on n on... but my father interrupted this 'lecture' n shooed us all away... lol hats off to my uncle...

(3) mr sarosh : wowww... there is this kind of bluffer too... one who spins such tales that they r impossible to digest... ud just puke away this guys tales believe me.... 5 years of his tales in college n i had had enough :p.... one day we were all just sitting in class with nothing to do... we were in our last year of college... this guy enters n say 'whew!!! i m real tired'... so we asked him if he was ok... hes like 'dont ask me that... i had to go for n interview to calcutta'... (lol whats with calcutta n bluffing i dont know)... but ofcoz we were confused... he was seen all over college the earlier day... so how could he have gone to calcutta n be bak in say 30 hours????... so we asked him how did he go... 'oh dont ask... i got a call from asian paints... they have an office in calcutta.... i said i have to attend college tomorrow i cant come for an interview to calcutta... but they were so adamant on interviewing me that they called me back in half an hour saying... pack your bags n get to the airport as soon as possible... we got a chartered flight waiting for u there... call us from the airport we'll tell u the details then'.... mannnnnnnnnn chartered flight my foot!!!!... lol... do i even have to say we puked out this whole tale :p... heh

so have u met ny such 'phekus'?.... aww come on u must have... lets start with the first one who reads this... we can all laugh on the cute phekus n puke on the crazy one... so what r u waiting for... ur time starts now...

laterzzzz all..

ps : m sorry for not being regular with my posts n not blog hopping too... m real busy these days n this is going to go on for a while now... so my 000nies pls excuse me... bye

impressive...

i was impressed... thoroughly impressed... this was the first time i had attended a page 3 kind of a wedding reception... n to tell u the truth till i reached there i didnt even know it was such a high flying thing...

everything was awesome... like a fairytale... with candles everywhere and first class service... great food and superb hosts... beautiful clothes... awesome cars... the saris... the clothes... the most wonderful jewellery.... n best of all the elegance... (i have attended n number of rich peoples weddings but most of them r a gaudy show of money n status)... this one was different... but this wasn't what actually impressed me... this was nothing compared to the 2 people i saw there... let me tell u about them.. ofcoz most of u know them... no no... not most of you... i guess all of you...

let me start with mr azim premji... the chairperson of wipro... if i hadn't looked closely id have missed him... a thorough gentleman i must say... he was talking to someone there... but the radiance he emitted was awesome... not a hint of pride this man has got... he had a wonderful aura about him... and the thing that impressed me the most was that he would smile at nyone who would pass by him... for a person who is on the forbes list and is among the richest men in the world he showed an unusual kind of modesty... very impressive...

the next one was even more impressive... mr anil ambani... do i even have to introduce him??... when i saw him there i was totally zapped... there he was in a normal chudidar kurta when 90% of the men were in suits... he was talking to all guests as if this was his own family wedding (my relative is a director of his company)... there werent any visible bodyguards around... again for someone who practically runs the economy n stock markets of this country this is really shocking... i was looking all around for his bodyguards... looking for subtle clues to know who they could be... but i didnt make out ny... n i am sure if i had the guts to go n talk to him he'd surely have said a hi... :)))... one thing i like about him is his discipline... the amount of weight he has lost is astounding... he didnt eat nything i guess... (for a gujju person who once loved to eat n eat this is surely commendable)... i had once read his interview... n he said that he woke up at 5 am everyday n started his day with a brisk walk and exercise... again knowing how tight his schedule must b n how many late nights he must b having this is simply admirable... the man is truly a winner all the way... thumbs up to u mr ambani... it was nice meeting u...

i m glad i made it for this reception... i didnt really want to go coz i didnt know nyone there... n if i remember clearly i almost didn't go!!!

laterzzzz all...

prejudiced!!!!

i do this all the time... in fact all of us do this... we dont even think if we r right or wrong... n i think its a clear case of being prejudiced...

"Prejudice squints when it looks and lies when it talks"

isnt this quote true?? how many times do we fall for this??? isnt it a kind of trap??? we fall into such a trap so easily... n its rarely that we can get out of it...

i have been through this many times... there is this neighbour of mine... a very beautiful lady... whenever i would meet her for a while she'd always talk about her kids n home n how her mother-in-law harassed her... n hit her... n abused her... n fought with her... id feel so sad for her... infact everyone around knew of her problems... and everyone would empathise... whenever i met her mother-in-law (after knowing this) i would never talk to her... if she spoke to me i would answer her in a syllable or a sentence n move away.... i would always wonder what sort of a person she was... i had heard awful stories about fights n abuses... n i was sure this lady would one day do something rash...

so now if we look at my thoughts here we'd definitely say i was prejudiced... thats simply because i never spoke to this mother-in-law... how do i know what kind of a person she is?... i know only the one sided story... couldn't it be the other way round where this 'beautiful' lady was fighting with her mother-in-law?? or abusing her???... how do we know whats going on in her house?? its simply a matter of being biased towards what i have heard... n also because she is 'beautiful'... well looks do matter somewhere i guess... i have met people around who say "shes so pretty how could she do nything wrong!!!"

but its been sometime since i know her... she speaks rotten about nyone and everyone... her next door neighbours dont speak to her... she fights with everyone around... n so now i know that somewhere she could also be wrong... i am not saying that shes the only one whos wrong... or her mother-in-law is always right... its just that we sometime think only from one perspective... n we should learn not to do that.. learn to think from all angles.. n last of all try not to come to conclusions without hearing the whole story out...

the reader (chocoholic???) in me

the minute i stepped into the bookstore i was enthralled... i didnt know where to look... should i move towards my left?? or right?? or shall i go diagonally opposite???... oh everywhere there was something new... something different...

it reminded me of the chocolate house i used to dream of when i was a kid... reminded me of hansel n gretel... n their chocolate house... i used to dream of a house like that... chocolates everywhere... dairy milk... 5 star.. kit kat (at that time they werent available in india.. so had to rely on my aunt who'd get them for me from dubai).. double decker.. toffees.. cakes.. pastries.. n of coz i couldnt have forgotten gems...

what a fantasy!!!... books as well as chocolates... ones got twists n the others got taste...

take for example some of my favourite books...

1) if tomorrow comes by sidney sheldon : a very very cleverly written one here... lots of unexpected twists n turns... reminds me of these assorted chocolates.. u never know whats inside them.. :p

(2) harry potter - j. k . rowling (didnt like the 5th one though) : hmmm this one reminds me of five star... its a book for kids n i have loved this chocolate since i was a kid...

(3) kane n abel - jeffery archer : a very nice tale of friends turning foes... reminds me of munch and perk... well their advertisements in india are always vying to cut down each other

(4) vanity fair - william makepeace thackeray : a tale of deceit... its about how a girl tries to deceive her best friend for the sake of material things in life... a bitter experience makes for a bitter chocolate...

(5) chicken soup series : such cute n lovely stories in these books... many of them get me sobbing... but i never get enough of them... so id love to call them gems... gems of wisdom n love...

(6) pride and prejudice - jane austen : a classic... such a wonderful story... makes me want to go for horse riding n take long walks in the woods... so how about a dairy milk??.... this choco makes me feel nice n fresh after eating.... so id link this book with dairy milk

(7) the monk who sold his ferrari - robin sharma (still reading it) : hmmm i dont know where this story is going to lead... but reminds me of mountains n himalayas... so swiss chocos it is... yummy :)

(8) love story - erich segal : oooooooo loves in the air with my most favourite ferrero rocher.. do i even have to say more about this one???

(9) cinderalla : i have loves this story since i was a kid... every young girls fantasy... glass slippers n chariots n gowns n the prince... total royal treatment... belgian chocos it is... royalty demands a royal taste right??

(10) lord of the rings - j. r. r. tolkien : well well... this book is one hell of a read (no pun intended).. lol it took me six months to complete... well i was a little busy then but this book is awesome... fantasy fights n what not!!!... reminds me of the dark chocolates... when i eat them i dont know if i like them or not... :p


so what do u think about these books??? have u read them?? tell me about the books that u have read... can u compare them with nything else???... how do u feel when u goto a bookstore??... so tell me about the reader in u...

selfless love

i knew her since i was a kid.... i remember the day she married my neighbour n came to my building with hopes of living happy ever after.... i guess this is what every new bride dreams of... a loving husband... wonderful kids... happy family... and believe me when i say this she had everything of this...

a very wonderful husband... he was my papas friend... oh we'd have lots of fun... he'd take us all to nariman point... only kids haan... n blast the music... n we'd all party out on ice cream... soft drinks... corn... chana masala... n wat not... his kids... gayatri and sagar... awww they were so cute then... we'd take them along too...

all in all we had loads of fun with him...

and one day it all ended...

it was mid-night... we were asleep at home when we heard the door bell... his mom was at the door crying... saying he had dies of heart attack...

dead!!!!!... we were all shocked... all night there were people around us... we children of the building kept his kids company... awww u should have seen their faces... they were so confused... asking whats wrong with their papa... n we didnt know wat to say... the girl atleast understood... she tried to explain to her bro... but all in all i just can't forget their faces...

n his wife... she was heart broken... such a lovely lady... i was a kid then myself... id ask God y He did this to her... she was crying all night... she didnt even have senses to see if her kids were ok... we had to call in a doctor to help her... again a very sad experience of my life...

years passed... her kids were growing... money wasn't a problem for her... quite a well off family... she started looking after their family business... looked after her kids... made them into wonderful people... well they r still kids as of now... but their maturity level is fantastic... i'd say growing up without their dad made them very mature... and understanding...

the girl is in college now... boy is still in school... and they r beautiful kids...

and now what about their mom???... what about her life???... id always wonder about that... didn't she have the right to be happy?? didn't she have the right to smile??... whenever id see her i could see the sadness in her eyes...

then life changed for her too...

some days back when i went to meet my mom i got the best news about her... she's remarrying... i was so happy for her...

she had gone to US some months back with her daugher... there her mother-in-laws nephew proposed to her... his wife had expired some years back... n he asked her if she'd marry him... ofcoz she couldn't answer then.. she had to consider her kids too... her daughter didn't mind... she called up her son... now considering he's still in school i was surprised by what he asked her... these r the precise words he told her... 'mom i don't mind if u want to remarry. but i hope no ones forcing u to marry him. i just want u to b happy.'... n i think this shows how selfless their love is for their mom...

sadly her in-laws r still against the match... they have refused... but her kids forced her to go ahead with the marriage plans... she flew off to US 3 days back... but as of now she has to keep her kids in india... school and college had to be considered... next year the boy will go off to US... i don't know what the girl has in mind.. i spoke to her yesterday about her mom... n the happiness i saw on her face and in her eyes made my cry... lol ofcoz they were tears of happiness...

i hope her mom gets her share of happiness that was denied to her all these years... i am sure she'd never forget her former husband... but as the saying goes... life has to move on... and i hope all the people who r against the match will realise this one day... n open up their orthodox minds to this world...

cheers to her n her kids... :))))... the only thing i m sad about is i couldnt meet their mom before she left... id miss her for sure...

lol i m still so overwhelmed... id just say laterzzzzz

(mis) adventures

hey hi all... oops sorrie for the late post... have been real busy... i know u guys missed me loads.... aww i missed all of u too... loadssssssssss.... but as u know i was away... so heres my post on my trip to the queen of hill stations in maharashtra... mahableshwar...

whenever anyone speaks of mahableshwar the first things that come to my mind are strawberries and mulberries... yummy.... the best u get in india i guess... its a lovely hill station nestled in the sahayadri mountains... quiet and serene and beautiful... known as the honeymoon spot around mumbai... theres a pretty lake called lake venna where u can do some boating... its also known for horse riding ... n ofcourse... the best is the sweet corn here.... yummyyyyyyyyy... but enough about the place... let me tell u what i was upto there...

day 1 saturday : morning 5.30 we left for the place... its about 6.5 hrs drive if u take ur car... but as we left a little early we reached in say 5 hrs :D... psst 120 kms/hr drive on the mumbai - pune expressway helped a lot... hehehe... awesome drive.... we had booked a hotel from mumbai so we didnt have ny tension of searching for a place there... (urghhhhhhhhhh biggest mistake).... damn when we reached the place we found that the hotel was 12 kms away from ny sort of civilization... duh n i should mention here that there were 2 cemeteries on the way too.... awww k00kie i remembered ur post on spirits... heheh... so i asked ra to change the hotel... but unluckily it was saturday n every place was full... so that night we had to spend at this creepy place... duh!!!!!!.... lol n u know what??? i woke up in the middle of the nite n the place was pitch dark... i was like "raaaa wake uppppppppp i think i have gone blind... i cant see nything".... hehehe he asked me to shut up n goto sleep... awww me hugged him tight n went to sleep :p... urghhh forgot to mention wat we did all day... we went to venna lake... (i wasnt keen on boating so skipped that)... got onto a horse n rode for a while... whoaaaaaaaaa i love riding.... went to some other well known places n then bak to the hotel early... didnt want to risk meeting some spirits on the way rite??? ;)

day 2 sunday : woke up early.. packed everything and left the creepy place... sigh!!!... checked into a better hotel... nice rooms... nice place... went shopping that day... went for a drive again n then back to venna lake... we sat there watching the fog swirling about... was nice n cool then... very beautiful n serene.... oooooo n very romantic... back to hotel... watched tv... uh ohhh it started rainging... he wasnt well too... had a bad bad cold... duh!!!....grrrr my secret plans were gonna go down the drain... hmm yeah yeah i know u must b wondering wat plans... awww come on it was a secret rite... so m not telling as of now... read on...

day 3 monday : again up early... sigh!! it had stopped raining... got to get the plan into action... morning went to panchgani... thats again a hill station some kms away... quieter than mahableshwar... had lunch there... got bak to the hotel... rested a while... when i knew he was sleeping i went out to the market for some shopping... got bak... stowed everything i had got in the car... woke him up n asked him to take me out... so we went to this awesome place called lodwic point... its high up n u can see only valleys around... very beautiful... n then it was action time...

happiness

No one should ever ask themselves:

why am I unhappy?

The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.

this is an excerpt from a book i have read... n i think it is true...

why should we think we are unhappy???... i think all of us should try to b happy in whatever we have... this fast paced life has made us forget what it is to be happy... we want more n more... crave for things that r unwanted... this leads to us feeling unsatisfied... we feel we dont have so many things... but do we ever realise that our wants r all materialistic???.. do we ever realise that we could do without these things we crave???

y not try to live with what we have n what comes our way rather than want more n more??.. y not b satisfied???... i know its very difficult to b satisfied these days...

take for example shopping... we just go to buy a dress n what all do we look for??... we check the shoes... we check purses... we check jewellery... n buy so much thats not really wanted... if we cant afford it we crib n crave... n again get unhappy about it... n if we can afford it we buy it wear if for a while n forget about it.... is this what we r looking out for???... is this the sort of happiness we want??

i think we should crave for happiness on a more spiritual level... happiness should b such that it brings us peace... makes us glow... makes us smile... makes us want to see others happy...

awww life can get tough sometimes... we might feel unhappy... might think this is all crap... but then i guess after a while we should bounce back... try to b happy... try to make others happy...

so lets make a pledge today... lets make a decision today...

i will always try to remain happy... will always try to forget my sadness... will always smile... and last of all will make others smile too...

laterzzzz :)

shimmering reflections of a lost moment;
trying to catch the sunshine;
who owns these eyes?

lost in the fragrance of the look you last gave me;
i walk on in my own desert;
with parched throat and weak conscious,
aware that thee is a tomorrow;
that i shall reach an oasis,
that the albatross doesnt rove the desert...........

brown sand of a missed sensuality;
your eyes--teach me to dream;
when passing through the narrow hell of solitude;
of a brilliant heaven,
scripsy fallacies of some ancient philosophy;
they rain life......

lol now u know y i said i cant decide which is my fave line??... aww come on help me out....

wordyyyyyyy thanx... this is such a wonderful gesture... u sure r a sweetheart.... :)... hugsssss...

thanx to all n see u on v00m... laterzzzzzzzzz bye...

a research team proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. one member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; subsequently the second member of the team performed a self rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.
