On a roller coaster ride

Monday, 7 May 2012
Hellllloooo World!

A big Helllooooo! I missed you guys! It's been a whole long month.

A month of utmost work because my final year in engineering is winding up .Plus I'm super worried about my PG admissions. And I'm not begun with studying for my final exams yet! Plus our university just re-scheduled and re-re-scheduled  our exams.We have them in June now.It's practically postponed to 1 whole month ahead.Phheeeewwww!

A month filled with life's lessons and a number of reasons to mellow me down.I have like two more posts to do .One featuring my dear fellow bloggers who nominated me for awards and another of my own.It feels good to be back.

I feel woken up from a deep slumber. From here on,I'm going to be focused more on quality work than quantity.Not going to bother about the "number of posts" I post per month but the quality of posts I pen down about.Because I'm totally sick of monotony. I hate a smooth transition. I love unruly roller coaster rides. I think it's more "fun" and reflects my kinda sophistication. Or my kinda style ;) Suddenly ,I feel the posts I write about affects me in turn, than those reading my work.And I thank a dear friend who reminded me that. 




I'm generally a moody person. I do what I feel like without taking other factors into consideration that may or may not be important. Yea,one of those who learns hard from mistakes. Sometimes I don't think. I run my life on my basic instincts and not practicability. Mostly a person who goes with the flow. Quiet cool headed . Sometimes I think too much. Sometimes I get too responsible. I start getting accountable and expect the same from others. And in the process I think I've kinda lost myself. Lost myself against the intention with which I was suppose to be(behave).Ah..INTENTIONS!! That is an awesome thing to blog about, in more detail! :)


Even now, Writing is helping me ease the pain I have been silently harboring for a month.As in ,I love talking. I just sort out other people's problems by talking them out or into "right decisions" .But when it comes to me,I'm suddenly in a fix. I'm lost in an ocean of misery.I'm not trying to gain sympathy out of not being given support or anything. But sometimes ,a voice of hope goes a long way in boosting one's spirits right! And a friend just gave me that. And I'm glad that brought me into writing this! 


I don't know who is feeling better after reading this post. But I do. It gives me a new light to envision and dream. 


Lightens me up! 


O Man, the craziness of life! :D


Love ya..So love being back! :)








Hues of Yellowish Blue

Tuesday, 20 March 2012
Waking up afresh on the wee hours of morning.Waking up to find the darkness creeping out.  It is like I were plunged into a mighty rush of crystal clear water. It felt like I was rejuvenating my soul,mind and body. Keeping myself tuned to the early morning song. The sounds of birdies in the air. The slumber of dogs and the occasional barks. The pouring and boiling water of a hot cuppa. A cuppa that has my spirits lifted up already.

A walk into the amazing gate of church that has heard my plea for peace and chaos filtered out. Singing hymns with a graceful heart and a sound soul. Leaving my little litters of agony there I head home. My mind feels clear.My heart soars ahead of my.What has happened to me? Am I in a tricky daze?No. I just feel calm after the storm and the storm which hasn't passed.It feels like a decade long battle already.And I know victory is going to be ours. Sometimes life was just meant to fog our hearts to get down to who we are? Is that the only way we can find ourselves? Is that the only way we can double up and stand stoic? 


Stoic I will not be but with a guarded mind and soul I will defend myself and to the world I belong. I will paint the colors of rainbow all the gloomy and sunny days of my life. I will turn my hues of blueness into oily shades of yellow. I will shade my blackness of life to a purple setting to stage my life. I will shun the browns and root out every worm . I will make room for the beautiful sunshine that will melt down my woes and lash out the plunderers. Those draconic plunderers who think my peace can be stolen? Who think I have no voice? My sunshine will lash them all out and win an already won battle. 


It'll be a song of peace after all the volcanic collapse. It will be a muted battle for the dumb and a violent battle for the atrocious. An eye for an eye. For my face is scathed showing another cheek for yet how many slaps,you tell me? An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind but now it will open eyes to truth and a sanctifying battle. A battle that just had to be fought.A battle that just had to be won!

Sunshine sweetness to ya all! :)

Launching The Dream

Friday, 24 February 2012
Wondering what this all about? This is a crazy segment I just fancied starting up. It's about all those interesting success stories we need to know /read to be a part of a successful story ourselves.Some say success came their way hard ,some say it was all about being smart ,let's see.We all need a driving force.Agreed? This is for those. 




The stories could range from a fragment of my imagination to a slice of my real life friend's stories or could be any of your success stories we sometimes claim -"You know this is what happened to my friend's aunt's sister's friend" Who knows.That could've been YOU.Amazing right! We are after all a sect of people congregating in unison to a cause of being unique.So these stories are meant to add another dimension to my blog which is otherwise a song of love :) 


We are a small network here but even this is part of our little world ,where God knows how we might be sharing our lives with one another in a way we ourselves might find puzzling.Like for example, I'm a blogger ;you are a blogger ,maybe your non-blogging best friend might have been my long lost friend. Who knows.We all might have so many co-inciding happenings/people and dreams in life.So let's share it and dream on...!! :)




Some of you might find this preachy & some of you might find a string of your life here.Whatever it is, Dream big! So here I am ,launching my-The Dream segment , somewhere beneath you will find my soul.You might find yourselves too.Do not forget to pick up a slice of your soul and bequeath all it's jewels. You never know, those jewels might be for real and have you shining all through  this transitory dance of our lives.

Pamper Thyself

Sunday, 22 January 2012
{This is a simple google image yet loved it too much to share!}

Ever thought about pampering yourself? Self indulgence is a lovely treat to you-mindwise,body wise and soul-wise. Look around you, you find beauty parlours at almost every corner of the street or a spa at almost every crossing street. Also ,in the recent years there has been a wide frenzy over how one looks and how one styles himself/herself.Yes,they overdo it.However look at the positive side of it.. Is treating yourself really that bad?




Yes,crossing the line is not advisable.So what exactly does "crossing the line" mean.Simply that one needn't go to the wild extent of doing a nose job just to have a better nasal sound in her voice. Ah..my indian audience should know whom I'm talking about *wink*wink*. But pampering yourself is great! The word pampering itself creates waves of optimism. But that nasal thingy,I think that goes right under "spoiling thyself" category.


Here are some obvious ways you'd like pampering yourself!


Body pampering 
1)Go for long walks every morning! Really helps the blood circulating generously all over your body.
2)Go for your regular regime of parlour vistits( I know how women feel everytime they get a new haircut.The happiness just glows all over their faces! I'm not yet sure about guys.)
3) Hit the spa once in three months or anytime you wish. Thai massages are supposed to be the world's renowned massage technique! So make that nearest spa your second home! 
4)Change hairstyles or haircolor. Did you know that hair-do/hair color determines the kind of person you are? Interesting ,ain't it? Go get that flaming red hair and your lovely mane gorgeously layered! It's Upto you.
5)Keep changing your wardrobe.The same wardrobe filled with the same clothes ,same colors cites a melancholic life and maybe you could pep up your wardrobe today?


Mind-wise/Soul-wise pampering
This is the most important part. The better your mind is set and free of clutter ,your soul sings with joy! So your soul-pampering depends on your mind pampering.

Whenever you are in doubt regarding what somebody did to you was mean or whatever- Clarify,go up and confront the person or if you are not comfortable with the confronting session just sit tight and practise patience! Just bring your mind to PEACE.And your soul will rejoice!
And for those with subtle souls ,MEDITATE.It's a real breather.For those who don't find the need to meditate,simply go jogging/play with your pet/talk to somebody you can just unwind yourself to,at any given situation.




So guys,Thanks for following me through uptil here.Now comes the actual beat! 
Always remember : When your mind is rightly pampered ,so is your soul and eventually so will be your body. How one moulds oneself , indulging in loving oneself and believing in oneself follows the way you pamper your mind , soul and your body.


The order you pamper yourself in:


1.Mind 2.Soul 3.Body


Before bidding adieu,just a mention about how one should never forget the lines blurring between spoiling oneself and pampering oneself today.
Always,Keep your head on your shoulders and Set your heart in the right place. I'm sure you will never fail yourself!

Finding your voice

Wednesday, 11 January 2012

"It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent. "
-Madeleine Albright

This is one quote I most connect with. My focus here is more on finding our voice,finding our light of creativity and taking it to levels that surpass all qualms of anything and everything limiting the floodgates of creativity to crash open.  


Each of us are bestowed with magnificent gifts for life! And we were blessed with gifts so we can focus all our energy into learning what life meant to teach us and how we shower that love back to our lives.In other words, what we communicate with The Universe and what the Universe in turn reciprocates lies our real answer!

Creative Energy 
Research Psychologists feel "Creativity has been pegged to conducive environments,perfect collaborators, personality traits, serendipity, and even spiritual muses." And that increasing  innovative thinking,sometimes encourage patients to use artistic expression as a way to confront difficult feelings.


I can totally attest to that,Because ,I think that is how most of us evolved. Trying to express our souls through various ways writing, painting ,singing, dancing, photoshooting, making films and much more than my mind can think of at the moment!


When I was younger, like 15 or so,just like any teenager I had those awful mood swings.It was those very times I let my ideas run wild.I penned poems on nature,love,togetherness and when I missed a friend who moved out of the country,I had written poems of loneliness,sadness and more sorrow. I mean ,the reason is small, but the ideas and the thoughts we impact from it is far from huge.And deep down all the merry poems I wrote or a litany of morose matters that spewed through my diaries,I felt a small pleasure of contentment! I realised..."Oh,I can write!" And no sooner than that,realised ,writing was my vent. I mean ,not now,but during those cloudy days of my life.So that was phase I of my journey to creativity.

"Give voice to what you know to be true, and do not be afraid of being disliked or exiled. I think that's the hard work of standing up for what you see."
-Eve Ensler

Entering phase II ,I found the transition confounding.And mostly,challenging! That was because I was an amateur to blogging, I was perturbed by thoughts like, What kind of impressions people would harbour about me. I never knew then , that the secret to creativity was and is lying in the world of our own.Something you are giving back to yourself. Sharing something you already know but bringing it to life,like almost giving those inanimate energy of ours a voice to speak for itself(which in my case is writing,dancing,swimming and lots more).That is when I gauged my writing through My soul! My eyes! and My brain! I unconsciously & now consciously reassure myself that I  would never compare myself or view my work through the eyes or mind of someone else.

Because being YOU is unique.Being YOU is being YOU.And that's so special.Nobody in this world can stop you from choosing your means to express the rainbow colors of your soul.This planet houses more that a million people.And one brain is One mind-blowing powerhouse.So for more than a million people..multiply! Do the math.


In my line of thought,one needn't be dying to straighten out something he is faltering at.I think by accident( that's how we'd to call it right!;)) we attract thoughts to perfect ourselves.Like,I entered phase III without even knowing I did but it happened!!! 

A creative soul is constantly self-searching and self-improvising! Overcoming the gnawing fear of breaking the stereotyped norms leading to what one can really call "creativity".It doesn't stem out of the known.But from the depths of our unknown.Our soul is an abyss of poems on love,joy and innocence. And our negativity is merely an outcome or a juicified version of our joys! It arises out of expectations we have from people we love.And it is in giving  life to our thoughts ,breathing that fresh breath of cherished life in our thoughts what becomes Creativity.

I'd like to sign off with one quote that'll keep lingering in your hearts and souls striking the chord of relentless love;of Creativity! 

"We're changing ourselves to fit the world instead of changing the world to fit who we really are."
