How will you react when for the very first time you get to hear those three words from someone you’ve adored all the way!
I’ll tell u…u’ll start jumping with joy, u’ll be damn excited, u’ll start smiling all the time for no reason, u’ll start looking up at urself from every nook and corner, u’ll suddenly become the greatest poet, u’ll begin to have sleepless nights and if by chance u get to sleep u’ll start dreaming of the other one’s presence around u. I know all this is normal…so SHOULD I SUSPECT MYSELF TO BE ABNORMAL!!!! …..coz I didn’t feel any of the above. For the very first time; somebody genuinely said “ I LOVE U VERY VERY MUCH!!” and I didn’t hear those resonating sounds, didn’t feel my heart trying to come out breaking the visceral cavities, didn’t feel the frozen state of mind…..but had a plain smile!!…had a wndrful sleep and that too dreamless!! Though I know deep down I do have a soft corner for him…then why this?? AM I NORMAL????!!!

(choti batein…choti choti baton ki hain yadein badi..)

It was all by chance that we met,
It all just by chance happened,
It was all a mistake that brought us together,
And made us such a good friends at the end.

I remember the starting when I was so shy,
You wanted to talk to me and I didn’t know why,
You threw all tantrums , by all means you tried,
And then one fine day you called up to apologize.

From that moment onwards we started talking,
But just for a name sake it was,
Coz I was not too keen in opening my self,
to someone I met just a few days past.

Well, by and by days were passing,
And with each passing day more we were sharing,
And then all of a sudden everything came to a halt,
And the train of our nameless relation suffered a jolt.

U did it for good but the things turned bad,
And I experienced something which I really never had,
People kept coming with various stories involving you,
Firstly I denied, but then thoughts forced them to be true.

I was seething in anger,
I wanted to cry aloud,
I wanted to slap you harder,
I didn’t want to see you around.

And in the fit of anger and despair,
I stopped seeing everyone there,
And thus as the result I lost my “smile”,
Which everyone used to say was my best attire.

Well, days were again passing by,
But there were no talks now,
And then one fine day you again called me up,
To tell me I “OVER REACTED”, and summarized me how.

We talked for about an hour that day,
For the first time it was happening,
We spoke, we listened, we argued a lot,
And perhaps that only settled back the things.

Now our relation got a name,
And we started addressing each other as “friends”,
But since this friendship could be sensed something else,
So the other one means nothing to us, was which we began to pretend.

This somehow solved our problem, and made us feel at ease,
We started enjoying our lives and people around were also pleased.
The gossips at least stopped doing rounds around the campus,
And we escaped peacefully from that idiotic rumpus.

After a few days we were made to work together,
People again planned to have fun n gossip, but didn’t get either,
But as said – fights are the part of friendship,
So exceptions weren’t we,
And once over something we walked away free.

And even in that state of mind, u rendered your indirect support there,
That gesture of yours made me smile,
For I had got a friend who truly did care.

And not only once, it happened so many times,
Whenever I needed you,
I found you standing by my side.

Your calling me up, your trailing me after,
Your bringing mine nowhere look alike from a silly newspaper,
Your telling me to be “PRACTICAL” while you yourself were emotional,
Your way of doing things in a special way, and then making me feel special.

Your changing the seats during the game,
Me giggling within to see your efforts go invain.
Your befooling me by sending me to the door,
Me replying for that through the “AUTOMOBILE REPORT ”.

Your torturing the mediator by asking for the pen,
Me keeping her cool through some weird explanations.
Your awakening me daily through the “AUTOMATIC ALARM ”,
Me thanking you each time it broke my slumber prolonged.

We honoring “TITLES” to each other and then tossing the coin to finalize,
We betting on every silly things and then treating each other in disguise.
We going through the cold war, and maintaining the façade of normality,
We strewn from within but greeting each other with an irritating complacency.

Your saying “BE QUIET” me saying “JUST NOTHING”,
Your sending me the smileys when my smile was missing.
Your sitting amongst everyone and making indirect quotes,
Your taking away the diary and returning it back with a friendship note.

Your working with me on things you were never interested in,
Your fighting with others just to make us see win.

Your lapsing into silence on getting my “leaving” news,
Me smiling and laughing, which I would’ve loved to refute.
Your sending me messages and showing u were missing your friend a lot,
Me smiling back and pretending, what a pleasure to me my leaving has brought.

Your sending the gift because of the invitation,
Me returning that back as per my decision.
Your incessantly arguing for months on that act of mine,
“It didn’t make any sense” was which I replied each time.

And then over this virtual vicinity real distances started domineering,
And my little mind kept swinging between being “SANE” and undiscerning.

Hence with the passage of time, it felt as if never to fade away memories have started fading away,
Coz I started sensing the lack of warmth, which you used to show in your own special way.

And whenever I felt like that,
You appeared and showed your presence,
And probably that’s why I got ,
The answers to the various “QUESTIONS” hence.

“And now when all of a sudden you opened ur heart to me,
You asked for the time , but never gave it to me,
I could have reciprocated, but I know I’ll never,
I can’t play with your feelings,I can’t be FAIR and FOREVER!”

Emotionally it seems we will never drift apart,
But for me “CHANGE IS THE LAW OF NATURE” is a very practical thought.

I might be right, I might be wrong,
But whatever it is, it hardly matters to me,
Coz perhaps from your constructive criticism,
I have imbibed a lot of new and good things in me.

Though I will never put it in words,
But with all those good deeds with me you will forever remain,
And with a silent note, I will think of you,
Whenever I’ll think of a “friend”.

Thinking about you

2006-02-14T13:38:00.000+05:30

Some joys are better expressed in silence....as a smile holds more meaning than words.
I was asked if i enjoy having you in my life....

2006-01-29T11:41:00.000+05:30

A nice forwarded mail i received from someone....

Love is...

It is all about the language which your heart speaks.
It is all about making your world go around.
It is the most beautiful gift given to us by God.
People who have been or are in love know it better than anyone else.
It is that feeling which has no limits.
It is that emotion which gives the whole body a pleasure and inner delight.
Everything is fine until you are in it.
It is among those wonderful experiences which has no end.
It is ready to do anything.
It is able to cross every barrier.
-Love is to love someone for more than years without ever thinking about anyone else.
-Love is the increase of heartbeat when you see him or think about him.

-Love is to send him a bouquet of flowers when you first knew his B'day
-Love is to send him photographs which you clicked without his notice.

Down Memory Lane

2005-12-06T01:23:00.000+05:30

This day……mmmmmm…not this day….it was 6th dec……last year …it was all so different…I was dressed in my best. In the very morning I was called onto the stage from where I cud see more than thousand people standing infront of me with a smile on their face and hands hitting each other hard…..YES!!! they were all singing a B’Day song for me…my B’Day was actually on 5th but it being a Sunday, they were celebrating it on Monday. the 6th.It was all such a new experience. I cud hear that beautiful tone coming out of the harmonica and see the students in the assembly ground holding flowers in their hands. And then a fellow colleague of mine R.B.(m).all of a sudden appeared on the stage with a beautiful bunch in her hand. And then came A.S.(m) with a loving smile and hugged me tightly. Before I cud thank her; a few other students flooded on the stage and gave their loving wishes in form of flowers ( which I later came to know that they’ve brought for their respective class teachers , but after knowing that it was my B’Day, they kept it for me. [SUCH A NICE GESTURE!!!]. By the time I came down I was having a complete bouquet in my hand (and I bet!! A few others were jealous to see that ….coz after serving for more than 4-5 years ,they never got so many flowers). And it was not the end…wishes kept coming the whole day!!! I remember I was in my class and didn’t had time to go out & meet others in the staff room. was thinking that the celebration ended there..BUT NO!! I WAS WRONG!! …. Coz my loving friends were there to make me feel special. They kept coming to my class to wish me in their own special way ( and even they were wishing me each time they were passing across my class). …And not only them; students were even coming to my class on the pretext of DRINKING WATER / ***. I can’t forget that naughty wish of a senior student …who plucked a lovely twig from somewhere in the school campus (STRICTLY PROHIBITED!!)..came to my class….kept his left hand at the back…flowers in the right hand ….and with a little bent in his body said “HAPPY B”DAY MAM”….. it made me had a hearty laugh……And yes!!! How can I forget that….. the gifts and the cards I got that day. I still have those beautiful hand made cards with me. [students from class U.Kg to senior sections (& specially students from U.Kg to class V ) made beautiful cards for me with beautiful thoughts scribbled on it]…….love you all for loving me so much!!!
And not to mention the GIFT that I refused to accept ( but accepted the card and the chocolates alongwith)….but later on had to take that too coz after a lot of Blah Blah over that it was left on my desk with a saying “IT’S YOURS NOW. TAKE IT AWAY OR THROW IT AWAY”…………………….THANX!!!!!!!! I still cherish those never to fade away memories………..
And yes tons of thanx to EC , AG and RD who made my real day (5th dec.) by dropping in from nowhere at my place and then bankrupting me of every penny I had!!!! ;-) I love u all for that.
This B’Day is entirely different from that one….. I am having loads of wishes, beautiful flowers. Lovely cards…sweet gifts….chocolates ……just everything…but still I am missing………………. missing the wishes of all those people who came in my life just for a year and changed me for the rest of my life!!!
I don’t have words to describe how fondly I cherish each & every moment shared with u people…… miss u and our togetherness…… our talks…..our laughs……..our fights……. JUST EVERYTHING!!!!

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SPECIAL TO ME!!!

Thirst

2005-10-06T08:03:00.000+05:30

After a tough crawl from the gutter,
He pulled himself together,
Stood by the roadside,
With no sense of what’s happening aside.

Dusk it was, but still he could see,
The interblend of sadness and glee.
A child was there in his mother’s lap,
Sitting aloof on a nearby rock,
She seemed to have the hardest slap,
But was forced to have the useless talk.
He(child) kept on asking about the rising tides,
The moving stars and the yellow lights.
She went on gratifying the little mind,
Mouth did the talking,
and hands kept wiping the teary eyes.
In between, she was complaining to herself,
Crying over the agony and the pain,
She was assaulted, was badly insulted,
By her husband “ A DRUNKEN MAN”.
She did it all, all for him,
Gave him her ornaments, gave her all the things.
Having spent them all, empty hands he joggled home,
His mind restless, as in debt till head he was drowned.
On the way somewhere he made some dealings,
Wife was waiting, unaware of his malicious feelings.
Somehow she smelled the inevitable,
Eloped to save him from the hands so evil.
The father in him was dead, the husband was lost,
As just for a pint , he agreed to sell his child at any cost!!
The mother kept crying, he looked at his own,
A wife and a daughter were waiting home.
His mansion was dilapidating, but a wine was in hand,
He reasoned himself..
Was he any different from that “DRUNKEN MAN”??

“A Silent Wish”

2005-10-01T03:50:00.000+05:30

Sitting alone amidst everyone,
Responding to them without any motion.
Sitting alone on a cheerful day,
Pondering over the things coming in the way.
Sitting alone gazing at the sky,
Foolishly asking myself the reason to “WHY”’.
Sitting alone counting the stars,
Brushing away the tears now leaving the scars.
Sitting alone under heavy shower,
Recalling the memories we had one hour.
Sitting alone with a pen in my hand,
Pouring my heart out, with a wish of forgetting the pain.
Sitting alone thinking just about a few,
Want to sit ever alone now,
Perhaps that’s how I can spend some moments again with you!!!

Think Before You Act!!

2005-09-26T12:37:00.000+05:30

Imagine this ...

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?

Think before you continue reading
...
.........
......... .
.....
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
...... He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations.

An Honest Duty

2005-09-25T20:37:00.000+05:30

Just wanted to share this incident with every one!

Scientists at the Rocket launching station in Thumba, were in the habit of working for nearly 12 to 18 hours a day.
There were about seventy such scientists working on a project. All the scientists were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job.One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm. His boss replied - OK, You are permitted to leave the office early today. The Scientiststarted working. He continued his work after lunch.As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8.30 p.m, suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children.He looked for his boss?

He was not there.

Having told him in the morning itself, he closed everything and left for home.
Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. Children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him - Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry.The man replied - If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about Children???Wife replied- You don't know - Your manager came at 5 15 p.m and has taken the children to the exhibition.What had really happened was that the boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriously at 5.00 p.m. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children theyshould enjoy the visit to exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition. The boss does not have to do it everytime. But once it is done,loyalty is established.That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was tremendous.

By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was ???????

He was......
Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.
President of India

This is a frnds story whose outlook for the life changed overnight……..she was an extremely bubbly, chirpy sort of girl who used to love herself and the life she was leading…but don’t know why she speaks a different language now…..though she pretends that she is as before….but being a close friend of her I know she has changed…and I m trying my level best to make her smile again…
Well….here is how I have tried to express how she looks at life now!!

Khud pe haste rehna fitrat si ho gai hai,
Gum main bhi muskurate rehana aadat si ho gai hai,
Jahan bhi najar dalo khilte chehron ko dekhkar,
Khud ki pehchan chupana niyat si ho gai hai,.
Pehle hum bhi the ek phool ki tarah,
Ab ek kali banana hi chahat si ho gai hai,
Hum bhi chahte the ek bacche ki masoomiyat,
Par in rusvayion se jindagi pe lanat si ho gai hai,
Jisse itni mahabbat thi humein kabhi,
Ab usi chehre ko aaine main dekhne se humein nafrat si ho gai hai!!!!!
