Slumdog Fever ?

Life is good, if ?

Today on the way to my office in the morning, my eyes caught a sight on a T-shirt, the back of that had the below picture:

"Life is good... If you're a Big Dog"... I don't know what the designer had thought on "Big Dog", but it was really funny and eye-catching... What do you say guys and gals ?

For A Reason!

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason, you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.!

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant .

For You Only ...

Dear Love,

The day when I first met you, when our eyes met, I had given you place in my heart. Really, like the real world, if dream world had some reality, then my rest of life would have been real. I would have spent all my nights in dreams… We can only see the distant moon, but can’t touch. You are also like that distant moon. How can I tell you my inner stories? You have gone, but your memories have become part of my life with which I am surviving. Without you, there is no memory, and there is no life…

The day when I had seen you, I had made you my dream girl; not only in my dreams, but in my body, mind and soul too… I had dreamt of giving all worldly happiness to you…

I remember that day when I was on my way back home and you had given me a bouquet of rose as gift. The fragrance of those had really made me mad. Girls like flower a lot, rose being the top of the list. They never give that to others feeling as if they are giving one part of their heart; but you had given me that… Having found that as symbol of Love too, I could not believe that you love me, as I always thought I am not suitable for you…

But what happened! The strings of guitar broke, all songs became lifeless, all the drawings that I had drawn using canvas got changed, and the petals of rose fell down… I never believed that you would change like this… You changed me and everything of me… I still remember those memories… I wanted to speak my heart, but could not… I still remember you, but how can I explain that to you?

With your all memories, I live today. Season after season changes, but there is no spring in my life… Flowers have become odorless, lifeless. No more new plants, only dry desert…

Yes, the world changes. Here everything changes easily, so how can we be exceptions? Everything happens as He wants; hopefully, He has not created you for me, so how can I get you? Humans always try to get what they like and I am no exception to that… I also wanted you, but the society stood against me… Sometimes, humans behave unmanly by these circumstances…

I have wasted most of the time of my life for you; still you could not understand me. You would have understood me well if I had married you, but that was out of my control. I won’t get love from you, I am sure, but hate me for all that I have done… But I still have kept the bouquet that you had given me, now only with thorns, giving pain to me whenever I think of you… Still I am not able to throw that, rather, I have kept that close to my heart hurting my body… Hope, the blood released from my body will be the signature of our love, our memory…

Yours ....

There was a mail to me attached with a document describing a person based on his/her sunsign/birthday...

22. He likes to search and analyze people and things…
23. He will analyze his friends or his girl friend, and once the mystery is gone, he will search for new puzzle to solve…
24. He can not easily understand thing, so he will gradually learn about you till he fills up all his questions…

45. He will be honest and sincere to his friends...
46. He hates lies, so he will not tell you lie. If he finds it is necessary to lie, he will find other ways not to tell you or avoid telling you anything. If he really has to lie, you will never be able to tell that he is lying…
47. He can really keep secrets, so you will hardly know that he is a lonely soul…

Note: If you want this kind of guy, you have to be an interesting person and he has to be curious about you. Hell for him is "No Freedom", so if he marries you then you should know it is the biggest decision in his life. Always be interesting; then you could have him beside you...

Love, Life and Dream On ...

“Love, Life and Dream on” is a beautiful fiction by Animesh Verma, 2nd year Chemistry student pursuing his Masters from IIT,Bombay. Perfect book to be read in a train journey, I bet, once you start this, you can easily finish the book in 5-6hours, such is the narration of Animesh.
He says:
The quintessence of Love, Life and Dream on is to make us believe in our dreams. It’s about the details of our lives that we really do not care about, but they turn out to be the faded dots on the canvas of our life, which are required to complete the picture. The story unfolds with few students who are in search of themselves which I must say is the beginning of a lifelong romance. They want to dream but the dreams fade away with the realization of the rationality life has taught them. Aniket falls in love at first sight and what followed was a romantic journey of a young lad trying to woo his lady. Will these friends win the game of life and dream? What will happen when dream meets fate, fate meets friendship and love caste its magic on everyone? Come with me and revisit your friends, love and a dream that has not been achieved until now…

The book covers love, college life, and the dream of young entrepreneurship, terrorism and above all great bond of friendship, emphasizing almost all the pages on “DREAM ON”

The dare to dream starts with a poster read as:

I SHALL WORK FOR AN INDIA IN WHICH THE POOREST SHALL FEEL THAT IT IS THEIR COUNTRY, IN THOSE MAKING, THEY HAVE AN EFFECTIVE VOICE, AN INDIA IN WHICH THERE SHALL BE NO HIGH CLASS OR LOW CLASS PEOPLE, AN INDIA IN WHICH ALL COMMUNITIES SHALL LIVE IN PERFECT HARMONY. THERE CAN BE NO ROOM IN SUCH AN INDIA FOR THE CURSE OF UNTOUCHABILITY OR THE CURSE OF INTOXICATING DRINKS AND DRUGS. WOMEN WILL ENJOY THE SAME RIGHT AS MEN, WE SHALL BE AT PEACE WITH ALL THE REST OF THE WORLD. THIS IS INDIA OF MY DREAMS.
- M.K.GANDHI

The book narrates the way some young professionals of Hindu College dreamt of opening their own farm (VIDAN), all the struggle that they had to carry out and in between the fate that life had bestowed upon them, a good book to read and to dream on …

Pyar Ki Dastan ...

Jab hawaien sunati hai
Tere mere pyaar ki dastaan
Sunti hai yeh fiza
Sunti hai yeh zameen
Sunta hai aasmaan

Isiliye phoolon mein kaliyon mein khushboo hai
Isiliye parwaton jharno mein jadao hai
Isiliye… nikhrein hai
Raastein wadiyan

Ho.. Jab hawaien sunati hai
Tere mere pyaar ki dastaan

Hoo… Sunti hai yeh fiza
Sunti hai yeh zameen
Sunta hai aasmaan

Sapno ka yeh mausam hai
Dil se dil ka sangam hai

Sul ge sul ge hoton par
Halki halki shabnam hai

Chalte chalte kahan aa gaye hum
Tum jo paas aaye sharma gaye hum
khud ko khoya tumhein pa gaye hum

Ho isiliye hum bhi to karte yun preet hai
Isiliye gunjte ansune geet hai
Isiliye… to koi
Aarzoo hai jawan

Mehki si hai tanhaie
Rut hai jaise alsai
Ho dil mein lete hai armaan
Angdai par angdai

Thodi si to rakho humse duri
kyon kahani rahe yeh adhuri
Sab to kehna nahi hai zaruri

Isiliye milke bhi milne ki pyaas hai
Isiliye pyaar ko kal ki bhi aas hai
Isiliye… toh haseen
Lagti hai dooriyan

Jab hawaien sunati hai
Tere mere pyaar ki dastaan
Sunti hai yeh fiza
Sunti hai yeh zameen
Sunta hai aasmaan

Mmmm… na na na na na na…
Mmmm… na na na n an a na

Isiliye nikhri hai…. Raaste vaadiyan
