FOR ALL GOOD PEOPLE I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU : THEY WERE JUST STORIES

I often remember those days when i had enough time to spend with my papa, my mom and my sweet daadi. So much of it that i could individually listen stories from the three of them in the special slot sections i had allotted them. And most, if not all of them, be those my papa's fairytales or my mom's kings and queens or my daadi's stories of Shri krishna and Guru Nanak Dev Ji, had one thing in common and that was they all said : IT WAS GOOD TO BE HONEST, IT WAS GOOD TO BE KIND, IT WAS GOOD NOT TO ARGUE, IT WAS GOOD TO RESPECT AND LOVE OTHERS AND IT INDEED WAS GOOD TO HELP THE NEEDFUL! And fortunately in all those tales, only those who were honest and kind used to be the final winners. But soon when i stepped into the real world, the true life, i realised those were just stories, very different from what it was here, very simple and though they were true, but the conditions of them being true were to be told by my life. And i realised life tells you YES, BE HONEST BUT BE READY TO BE USED AND ATLEAST ACCUSED OF BEING HYPOCRYTIE! YES, BE KIND BUT DON'T EXPECT OTHERS NOT TO BE CRUEL! YES, DON'T ARGUE, BUT BE READY TO LISTEN THAT YOU'RE A FOOL, A COWARD! YES, HELP OTHERS, BUT DON'T EXPECT A THANKS INSTEAD BE READY TO LISTEN THAT YOU WANT TO BUILD YOUR REPUTATION! YES, BE GOOD BUT DON'T THINK YOU WOULD BE APPRECIATED, INFACT BE READY, ALL THE CRITICISM IS YOURS! And let me tell you if you ever dare to expect love, respect or may be just a smile with those eight muscles involved that might enlighten you from your heart to your soul, SORRY, you'll only disappoint yourself and make yourself sad. All the good people in the world, i want to say you one thing, it's better you realise soon if you do something wrong, you're bad but if you ever dare to do something good, more good than others can digest, you're WORSE and don't be shocked if the people who learned shooting from you, turn the nozzles of their cannons right towards you! Just don't be!

When we deflect from our path....

Often while trying to do the right things or i should say trying not to do the wrong things, we deflect from our path and curbing the wrong becomes our prime focus rather than ourselves doing the right. It's then that we might condescend, quite unconsciously though. And that's the time when your true friends, they turn into your guides, your saviors and they make you realise unknowingly that you have deflected and after you come back to the right track, the one you had been following forever but temporarily forgotten, you just don't know how to be thankful enough. And this isn't all that they do for you, they, make sure you forgive yourself for deigning.

This one's for the birthday girl....

Well, this blog is for the birthday girl, sweet princess, who has come to earth to prove that Angels exist........yes they do! And when i say angel, i just mean someone with a crystal heart, truthful eyes and a million dollar, unprejudiced, heart-warming smile that penetrates right through your heart and travels all the way to your soul, enlightening it! And all i want to say to the beautiful princess is that may God bless her in all His bliss! May she have reasons enough to smile forever! May the beauty of thoughts and action be always hers!

ENGINEERING HAS TAUGHT ME ALOT MORE THAN JUST FORTY SUBJECTS

:) Studying engineering for almost three years, i've not just analyzed those capacitors and resistances, not just mapped those frequency and time domains, there are some other mappings in my cerebral and more so in my cardio domain that have changed things forever...... or may the great transition is still going on...... And here i've scribbled some of those known mappings...
1. Transformation of humane domain to human domain
Earlier, i analyzed things from humane domain, a smile was all that was required for me to work, a word of request, a blessing used to be a cause of my extreme happiness and dedication of doing things....
But things have tranformed, now i must ask for a certificate, a letter of appreciation or atleast i can write it in my CV.........Blessings, smiles they're just bonus', good if they come....hardly matters if they don't...... Recognition is all i want....without realising that those bubbles will get lost soon...
2. Transformation of innocence to immaturity
Innocence....the showering of smiles on everyone not worthy even, kiddish straight forwardness, that truthfulness, i've grown up enough to call it IMMATURITY....
3. Transformation of respect to chauvinism
Well, preparing for CAT, my vocabulary has advanced and i've started calling any respect that exceeds good morning as chauvinism.....
4. Tranformation of us to me
 What will i get after this? Will someone else get more? My life, my wishes, my dreams and my world!
5. Transformation of happiness to package

My two worlds

Cuddling teddy, lovely dolls,
That only sing, stare and speak
That important smile, of my own
That sweet pic, those pink and blue clips
That wooden pencil, those yummy chocolates
That green spinach, which only popeye liked
When happiness meant, a butterscotch
And sadness was it melting away before i could eat
When loss meant, my doll breaking away
my teddy tearing away, and regain meant
a bigger teddy, a better barbie
When fear was only breaking away of those wooden pencils
Cute brother eating my, my chocolates, all of them
When hardship was to eat that spinach
And reward was an extra chocolate
When smile was lost at father denying me something
And came back flashing at his gentle kiss.
When understanding meant, knowing more than two chocolates was harmful
When i thought world was useless without me
When i thought, i knew, i am the princess
For world only meant to me, those who loved me
Those who cared for me and those for whom i’m the world

The clock ticked on, the wheel rotated,
The world unknown started clearing, the big-day came,
And I realised, I finally did realise
 the dolls and teddys are not the only things broken
That it hurts more when hearts and dreams break
Only bigger teddy’s and better dolls come
Not better humans and if something gets bigger, it’s hardships
That smile, is not always good, it hides the bad within
That understanding was much more than the number of chocolates
That spinach was easier to digest, than disrespect
That world isn’t just that small window through which i peeped
And saw only those beautiful flowers, that there are thorns!
But, i still remain the princess of that world, that’s just mine
And that father’s kiss, still brings that heart’s peaceful flashing smile.

TWO FACTORS THAT MAKE OR BREAK THINGS

Well, till quite sometime back, for me things breaking meant getting delayed in the making process and nothing had ever went wrong to the extent of being called broken atleast. But now that i've witnessed atleast some cracks i would say, there're two things that make or break work, relationship and almost everything and those are :
1.Ethics
2.Ethics
Yes, i think ethics of people around you, the people you work with, the people you work for, people you call your friends and companions, the people you live with and the people you live for, matter the most in the long run. Because if ultimately, your ethics don't resonate with that of the other person, intelligence or may be, need cannot keep you going for too long whereas if your ethics resonate, believe me, nothing in the world can stop you from being happy with those people and from making good things that you decide to do along them.
