SOME THINGS…..

Some things are best unspoken…..

Some things are best unseen….

Some things are best when felt……

Some things are when heard……

Some things are best when visualized….

Some things are best when experienced….

Some things are best when parted away…..

Some things are when they continue to stay……

Some things are heard better when unspoken…..

Some things are best to taste when shaken…..

Some things are best at their beauty when broken…..

For fate to enjoin it with itself and love offered as token…..

                                          (Thanks to my friend Vasanth for this line....) 

Some things are best when kept at bay….

Some things are best when they are not away…

Some things are best when they don’t change with time….

Some things are best when they remain sublime…..

Some things are best when written and not merely thought…..

Some things are best when they happen on the spot…..

Some things are best when they are under our control……

To avoid mishaps & prevent bleeding  from the soul….

But those certain things cannot be tamed..

Happening as and when HE wishes; events that can’t be framed……

That’s why ‘Some things’ are tagged as HIS will & wish…..

Lucky and blessed are those, who give ‘mishaps a miss’…..

Some things are ‘Some Things’, which are there- Now & Forever!!!!!!

Cause they are meant to be eternally near us…….. Away???? NEVER!!!

माँ

जब भूख  सताए, तब माँ याद आये......

जब चोट लग जाए, तब माँ याद आये......

ना भाये कुछ भी, अस्त-व्यस्त हो मन जब.......

जब दिल घबराए, तब माँ याद आये......

आह!! बन जाए आहा :-) माँ की गोद में.....

जब दुनिया कर दे पराया, तब माँ याद आये......

पर......क्या किसी ने सोचा है यह ??

क्या करती है माँ अपने दुःख में !!

किस से कहती, कहाँ जाती है  वो !! 

बाँट ना पाए उसका दुःख जब , मीत कहलाता उसका जो !!

लगे अपना दुःख उसे छोटा,  रम जाए संतान के दुःख में जब.....

सुध  खो देती है वो अपनी, जब बच्चे को माँ याद आये......

Wait  wait  wait…

Every  wait  has  a   story  to  narrate…

We pray  that the wait for happiness..

Surpasses soon, bringing back serenity and bliss…:-)

Cheers to Life and happiness….:-)

Inspiration……….

Trrrriiiiiinnnggg!!!!!!! Ticked my alarm clock a 5 am- the usual time!! A good morning yawn reminded me that I have a set of 32 minus 4 small dental equipments fitted inside my oral cavity. ( Minus 4 is due to the wisdom teeth extraction done last year. Does that mean- No wisdom teeth= no wisdom??? I am still wondering about it!!!)

Brush…brush…brush…..Brush the teeth…!!

Crush..crush..crush……the germs…….!!!

Getting motivated by my enlarging midsection and being bitten by the fitness fad, I wore my shoes, picked up the water bottle and moved out- to say Hello to the nearby park.

Thanks to BBMP ( Municipal Corporation of Bangalore City), I have two beautiful parks near my new hostel--- Lush green lawns…….beautiful flowers…..benches to recline….and many uncle and aunty warriors to give company in the fight against the enemy called ‘Obesity’

After 2 rounds of walk, I began to jog.

Huff…huff…huff…!!!!…….Gulp….gulp…gulp…!!!!….first sip of water…..!!!!!!

2 more rounds and I started feeling uneasy!! My tummy spoke loud and clear- it badly needed its next installment of carbohydrates!! One piece of advice- Skipping dinner can be injurious to your weight reduction plans!!! Thus, moral learnt- never skip dinner!!!!

In no time, I was back to my hostel, snacking on bananas. Phew!!!! Hunger beast quieted temporarily…..!!!!

But……something lured me to go back to the park!!!!!……… Many things, actually……..!!

In less than five minutes, I found myself sitting on one of the benches of the park. I was not alone this time. Giving me company were- My diary and pen…. :-)

Sitting on the bench, I started wondering…..what brought me back here??????

Awesome weather???? Cool breeze on a monsoon morning???? Naughty sky, playing hide and seek with the clouds?? Toddler branches of the tree, swinging to the tunes of musical wind?? Hmmmm………

Wise people say- “For a writer, his surrounding is the best inspiration.”

Getting inspired by this line, my head began searching for an inspiration, to scribble…

I kept my eyes fixed on the tree roots for 5 minutes…but… no inspiration….. :-(

I kept staring at the young, handsome, dashing Mr. Plant, to an extent that he was convinced that I am marofying line on him. He began to blush and wind blew his face away from me…..but….no inspiration….. :-(

The next target was the red flower. I kept staring the daughter flower to such an extent that the mother flower grinned at me!!!! Her  assumption??- I was jealous of her daughter’s beauty!!!.........in spite of such an allegation!!!!......no inspiration yet….. :-(

I turned towards the wind, hoping to get inspired……..

The drunk wind, whistling, blowing here and there, in and out, up and down, humming and singing, making everyone tap the feet and swing our heads- a lovely early morning "Concert In Silence” :-) ………….But………no inspiration…:-(

The first rays of sun……walking into our lives- saying hello to every leaf, grain of sand, animate and inanimate object on this earth…(…with no bias…….)…

…..giving us hope…

giving another reason to smile….

bidding darkness goodbye…….

and proclaiming- “ Let there be light!!!”….

Itna sab kuch!!!!.......but still…….no inspiration!!!!..:-(

Concoction of all this, making my heart beat faster…widening the smile on my face…….making me love the tiniest grain of sand and the youngest leaf on Mother Nature’s lap……………...taking me away from the drudgery of daily life……drowning me inside the well of love- Love for nature, love for its creations, love for its magic- MARVELLOUS!!!

But still………No inspiration!!!!!!!...............:-(

Ting tong…ting tong……!!!

Second reminder from my tummy..

Pyaar  se  pet  nahi  bharta  janaab!!!!

Bidding good bye to the park and its wonderful ornaments, I started marching towards my next installment of carbohydrates- Idli- Vada…:-)…….Hoping- Shayad usse inspiration mil jaye….!!!! :-)

" I " or "Us" ???

Who am I ??
Do I have an identity??
Am I myself ??
Is this what  I wanted to be??
Did I have an option ??
Could I have been something else and been much better than what I am now ??
Why am I what I am now ??
Why am I not with you ??
Why is the moon so near in spite of being so far; and you so far, even when
you are sitting next to me??
Was this what we asked for ?
Was this what we dreamed of ??
Why am I missing you so much even when I am with you ??
Sitting right next to me, Why do you seem so far??
Where did "WE" disappear??
How did we loose "US" ??
If we are still together, Why is "I" coming in between "Us" ??

TRAFFIC SIGNAL......

As the table clock in my cubicle ticked nine, I realized it was high time for me to move back to my nest- My HOME SWEET HOME. Unfinished projects  and a cranky team leader make you loose the sense of time, place and person. Phew!!!! Sitting in front of the monitor for 11 long hours makes the situation even more worse!! Finally, project done…chutti!!!..:-) Ghar chale hum…:-)

While taking out the car from the parking lot, I realized that my tummy was also missing home a lot!!!! I had already started dreaming and visualizing food..:-) I called up mummy and found out what the menu was….And became even more hungry..:-)

Soon, the car was on the main road. My stomach was just  30-minutes-drive away from Roti, bhindi subzi, dal and gulab jamun and my physical and mental self was 25-minutes drive away from the contentment of being at home….!!! (Extra five minutes for the stomach as parking the car takes 5 minutes. The physical and mental contentment comes the moment my car enters the main gate :-))

And then…….the beast strikes……traffic jam…..!!!!

Thanks to the after effect  of heavy late evening down pour, a car became a huge tree’s target and blocked the main road. Thankfully, no casualties!!! Only loss of property…! I got to know from my neighbor car’s driver that the traffic has been stagnant since last half an hour. Crane has been called to remove the car, which is likely to reach in sometime…                                    

Poor my stomach.. :-( :-(   My  primitive instincts provoked me and I  began hunting for food inside the car. VOILA!!!!  Found something to eat!! Parle G……desh ka biscuit!!!! :-)

As I was munching and relishing the good old Parle G, I looked outside the window and found many vehicles- cars ,bikes, autos, bus,bicycles, trucks…. with theirs drivers thinking about many different things…….   Sitting inside my car, I saw them all- one by one- tried to peep inside their minds and began wondering what must these people be thinking about?????

A 16 something girl, returning from her coaching class, on her TVS Scooty- I hope I clear the medical entrance this year!! I don’t want to take a gap….

A 16 something boy, on his Definitely Male Bajaj Pulsar, with neon headlights- God!!! Please make India win the WORLD CUP and make me win the bet!!!

A small kid, sitting behind her dad, on his scooter- Its my birthday tomorrow..:-) I will wear my new pink frock to school…:-)

A 23 something young professional, on her Black Honda Activa- another prospective bridegroom’s family coming to ruin my weekend!! I don’t understand why are mummy and daddy hurrying so much for my wedding!! Let me live my life for two more years!!! Jaldi kya hai!!!!

A 25 something, software guy (moon face, dark circles, glasses, emerging pot belly… I could easily make out that he is a software guy) on his Hero Honda Splendor- engineering to chote college se kiya…..I just hope I crack IIM in this year’s CAT….!!

A 28 something career oriented woman, sitting in her  second hand car- I hope it is safe to postpone motherhood for two more years……I just want that promotion at any cost!!!!

A 32 something manager, pondering, sitting inside his Ford Fiesta- Is my wife not taking a chance?? What if we don’t have kids ?? What’s wrong in raising a family now?? Why is she not understanding that its high time for me!!!!

A 35 something professional, loosening his tie, enjoying the AC of his Audi- Is my wife faithful to me?? Was her last Sunday’s Official Meeting a date??? Is she having an affair with her colleague?? Is she bored of me??? Is our marriage over????

An excited-looking 27 something young man, sitting restlessly, inside an auto, with baggage tags speaking about his recent foreign travel- When will I reach home and hug my wife???? Its been two long weeks that I felt her touch!!! I missed her so much!!! Had it not been for my Thailand conference, just two days after my wedding, I would have been returning  from my honeymoon now…!!!!

A daily wages labourer, on his bicycle – I hope my son studies well and has a bright future. I don’t want him to do what I am doing….

A 40 something lady, looking at her nails, sitting cozily in her Skoda Laura- Is my husband cheating on me?? Have I lost the charm which I used to have before having kids?? Why is he working late nights so often these days??

A 50 something, middle aged man, on his Bajaj scooter, with bags of grocery tied to the hook in front- I hope I am able to clear the TV and scooter loan this year….Have to send son to engineering college next year…..!!!

A senior citizen couple, inside their ages old Maruti 800- We don’t want money son!! We wish you could come more often from US and spend quality time with us here….There’s so much to tell you…….we want to see our grandson’s childhood!!!!

A near 55 year old uncle, inside his brand new Tata Nano, with wrinkles on his forehead- I hope this time all the things fall into the right places!! Just want to see my daughter becoming a bride before my retirement… Will go on a long pilgrimage with wife…. Being busy with my duties and responsibilities of bringing up children, I  could never devote time to her in the past 26 years…. This car is just a small gift for all her sacrifices…..!!!

A middle age man, riding a cycle-rikshaw, with sweat on his face and blood in his eyes- I hope I get a passenger from the area where I am going to leave this passenger. Have to buy medicines for wife.

A 24 year old, fresh MBA graduate, working late evenings to finish projects, munching Parle G inside her dad’s car, waiting to dig her teeth into Roti and Bhindi subzi, and wondering…..When will I reach home!!!!

Beep..Beep..beep….Beep……!!!!! The car horns woke me up. I did not realize when did I fall asleep!!!

Thank god!! Cranes had come, the traffic was cleared up. I was back on my wheels, to my nest….wondering will the people get answers to their questions!!!

Dear God!! Please clear up the clutter from people’s ( including mine) minds the way you cleared up the obstacle from the road… Please send the crane here too, soon……………………    Let peace and tranquility reign!!!!!

Wishing this, I could sense the feeling of contentment sinking into me………………………………………

I was home…..:-) :-) :-) :-)

"एक  खुला  आसमान......!!!! "

चाहे वह उड़ना पंछी जैसे 

ऊँचा, सबसे ऊँचा.......

चाहे वह  बादलों से लिपटना 

और सुनाना अपनी व्यथा!

चाहे वह  पहाडों पर चढ़कर

चिल्लाना ज़ोरों से..........

और चाहे सन्नाटे में बहुत कुछ कह जाना......

चाहे वह  जाना दूर .....

इस दुनिया से....... कोसों दूर .........

और चाहे  अपने आप को 

जोड़ना क्षितिज से.......

चाहे वह  चीरना समुन्दरों को

तैरते हुए, बन के मीन

और चाहे हवा को छूकर 

खो जाना अनंत में.....

चाहे वह  कहना  बहुत कुछ ...

पर कह न पाए , नादान वो.....

काश के हो  ऐसा !!!!

बिन कहे सब कह  जाए मन....

मन बाँवला  चाहता बहुत कुछ  .

अनाड़ी  है चंचल  ये....

हर चाह नहीं होती पूरी.....

पर ये सत्य वो जाने कैसे !!!!!

चाहतें  होती नहीं ख़तम कभी....
क्या लोभी है मेरा मन ?
मन  सपने संजोता ही जाता.....
आस होती नहीं  ख़तम......

मन काबू करें कुछ ऐसे..

कि चाहतें बेकाबू न हो जाये....

सोचे और समझे कटु सत्य  यह...

धुंध में न खो जाये.....

पर क्या ऐसा करना..

गलत नहीं है मेरे दोस्त!!

एक मासूम  सा मन ही तो है यह ....

चाहता बटोरना थोड़ी सी ख़ुशी 

क्या ये छोटी सी इच्छा.....

पूरी ना कर पाएंगे हम कभी?????

मन की छलांग है कुछ ऐसी ....

आती नहीं काबू में यूँ ....

रोको ना इसकी उड़ान को...

पंख दो इस बांवले को....

उलझनों को कर किनारे ..

उड़ने दो अपने मन को .....

कर गुज़र जाये यह कुछ ऐसा....

सोचा भी ना हो किसीने जो...!!!!

उड़ान भरे ये कुछ ऐसी 

हो जाये सारी सीमाएं पार......

हो ना ख़त्म कभी स्वप्न इसके 

ले वह  सभी सच्चाई का आकार......:-) :-) 

GOOD MORNING :-)

 

Thanks to a friend’s timely phone call at 5 am, I got to see the rising sun after a month!!! Sleeping at 10 pm, with a  hope to wake up 5 am, switching off the alarm clock at 5 am with half open eyes and finally waking up at 8 am to rush to keep the bucket in the hostel bathroom queue!!! Wow!! What a royal 10 hrs sleep!!! Exercises neendon aur sapnon mein hoti thi!!! He he he he J J

Today, I FINALLY got up at 5 am. After finishing the morning rituals, Ready, Steady, Go!!! But where ?? Where else!! The great GREAT Sankey Tank!!!! Thus began a journey, pending from a month…..

As I was walking, I came across many people, places, events, objects……….Old grannies walking in a group… Must say!!!These days the grannies are also IN SYNC with the Gen Y!! Cotton saree, typical juda and branded sports shoes!! Yo Man!!!

Next thing which caught my visual rays was the bus stop, with hoarding of a famous eating joint. Tell me one thing- How will people get encouraged to diet if they see such hoardings on their way to exercise!!!! By god!!! Exercise shuru karne se pehle hi bhook lag gayi!!!   Sight , smell and thought of food stimulates hunger.

Badi mushkillon ke sath, I forced myself to move ahead. Giving a divine touch to the walk, I said Good Morning to Ayyappa Swamy sitting on his altar inside the temple. The early morning deepmala was a visual treat!!! 25-30 diyas, with twinkling flames, all wishing bhagwaan ji Good Morning in chorus… J

I continued to walk……..and talk…….to myself……and sing……….and hum……

Within no time, I reached Sankey. The lake was filled to the brim, thanks to the recent episodes of rain. The moment I stepped inside the park and was about to go near the lake, I heard a song- Sagar kinaare, dil ye pukaare….tu jo nahi to mera ..koi nahi hai… What timing!!! Din ban gaya..:-)

I moved ahead……and started observing people……my favourite pastime at Sankey….. People have so many issues to discuss over a morning walk!! All national and international issues!!! Main to keheti hun ke desh aise hi tarraqui karta hai….Some people discuss such things so seriously that it seems as if- given a chance, they will bring revolution!!!  But A NAYAKAN does not happen in real life…….. A middle age couple discussing Rajiv Gandhi Employment Scheme; a 29 something City girl, walking wearing girlie footwear and sunglasses!!! Sunglasses at 6 am???? Bechare suraj chachu ne to angdaayi bhi nahi li hoti is samay tak!!!! ………middle age men, enjoying Akon with their stroll……….an ideal, homebound daughter, making the best use of her summer vacations by walking with her mother…….an old man who refuses to accept that he has grown old and exercises better than the so called younger generation……..a software professional trying his best to shed and sweat out all the team outings, office parties, treats and long hours of sitting job in front of the Intellectual Idiot Box  from his waist………….an old aunty, wearing glam sham fitness outfit, hat, mushroom hair cut and the song playing on her phone?? Jawani janeman, haseen dilruba, miley do dil jawan, nisaar ho gaya……..And not to forget…ducks….:-) Sankey’s tenents……

The hour and minute hand of my watch indicated me that if I do not take a U-turn now, I will not have the privilege to have a bath today morning…courtesy- Long queue in hostel bathrooms……So, the journey continued in the reverse direction now.

The weather today morning was simply awesome!!!! And cherry on the cake was Sankey….:-)

After saying bye bye to Sankey, I started heading towards hostel. On my way back too, I came across many people and events…….3 guys on a bike, following a khubsoorat naari…!!!! Boys will be boys!!!!.........Suraj chachu  opening his banner and saying hello to the world, painting the entire sky with his colour shades……..9-5 workers rushing to their money minting temples……….hoarding of the food joint, re- stimulating my taste buds and re- secreting the digestive juices……...Mummy!!!!! Bhook lagi!!!!! Arey bhai!! Bhook to lagegi na!!! Kitna mental aur physical kaam kiya aaj!!!!

Thinking about the limited number of options available for breakfast and mentally zeroing down to a customarily consumed breakfast, I reached back to my room..with a smile glowing on my face..:-) A good start to the day…..Indeed, a Good Morning

Thus, the journey came to a beautiful end….with a hope that it will start again…….with another timely phone call!!!!...tring tring…..:-)

Promises.......

A Small and simple word.......PROMISE!! .... With seeds of trust, roots of faith, trunk of hope, branches of desires, leaves of anticipation, flowers of actuality and fruits of contentment.....Contentment from the fact that the promise was kept!

People promise many things to themselves and to others. Some with affirmations, some to appease others, some to convince themselves, some to hold on to a person for the rest of their lives (Wedding Vows), some to hold on to a dear one- no matter what!!!! , some assuring promises..... some fake ones, some unfulfilled ones, some temporary promises which fade away with every wash of nature's testing time........some determinant, unshaken ones, withstanding all the blows of  the truth called life and still standing erect, unmoved!!! These are the promises  worth dying for....worth sacrificing for....!!!!!!

Promises are many and varied.....but the courage needed  to keep up that promise is the same......COURAGE!!!!!   Such a strong word!!!!!!.....It takes a lot of courage to have the courage ,to keep up a promise...... Seriously....!!!! Not many have this courage...not many are brave enough to dare.....

Innocent childhood promises are one of the best promises.... Pure, pious..... without any hidden intentions and means, no faking....!! If a child innocently says, ' God promise  teacher!!! I did not take Chintu's sharpener', the child means it!!! Whether he actually took  the sharpener or not is another face of the story!! The innocence visible on the  face and audible in the voice is amazing!!!


But as the child hops from kindergarten to primary school, learns the cultural and behavioural mores of high school, nods head with his peers in college, promises mature and change multiple folds. They now have accessories like motive, benefit, calculative properties like weighing the pros and cons and deciding on the basis of the profit-loss calculations........


It becomes easy to make a promise...as easy as drinking water....!!!!! People promise, without pondering whether they will be able to keep up their words......In this lot of people too, there are a few courageous ones who dare to keep up their words, defying all the odds of nature...!!! Hats off to the those souls!!! At least they are true to their words!!!


Promises are meant to be broken!!!! Rules are meant to be disobeyed!!! This is what the new age mantra says.....But the disturbing ripples they create on the surface of an innocent mind; the deep uneasiness they cause inside....is not known and seen by all....


Promises are worth keeping up...They are like flowers......Handle With Care....!!!


Let us  Promise ourselves that these flowers will be taken care of....Will be used as weapons only when there is utmost need.... Otherwise they will wither away.......Lets promise that the promise will always remain a promise...And not just a statement.......!!!!

Dedicated to all my batch mates....

As we all moved out of our shells,
We entered a new world,
New born birds we were, ready to fly; high, very high.
A journey began on a promising note,
With expectations, apprehensions, dreams, hope,
A dream.....A GOAL...

We learned to flap our wings independently,
Taking every step ahead carefully,
Sometimes we were right, some other times wrong
But the determination was always strong
The journey of four and a half years,
With in numerous laughs, smiles, teases and tears....
We giggled, we cracked jokes, we laughed, we fought,
We cried, we made up and came back together,

We crossed the hurdles namely- internals, practicals, externals,
We were the guinea pig batch, with all new ventures being tried on us,
Cancelling Biomech Practs., Oski, PT subjects in third...and last one- EBP in final yr!!
Brave hearts we were, we accomplished all the milestones,

And not to forget Ramanna Uncle's support
The bread-butters, omelettes, juices, snacks; especially during clinics hours....

Finally we were done with our exams..!!
Hurray!!!! Internship began..:-)

We bought gifts and exchanged them SECRETLY :-)
Enjoyed to our heart's content, fully..!!!

4 and a half yrs over within a blink of eye.....
The time has come to say good bye..
Here we stand, at the end of a journey
Waiting for a promising beginning....
Ready to take different paths.

As we all prepare to depart, I wish all my batch mates a very happy and successful future ahead.....
May all our dreams come true...:-)

ALL THE BEST GUYS......:-)

CHEERS TO THE 2006-11 BATCH

To mummy dearest....With love.:-)

As I saw the light for the first time,
I saw her eyes looking into mine......
Curious, elated, anxious, divine,
Cuddled in her arms was my little self,
Protected from the atrocious world..

Her hug was enough for me to believe,
That the earth is a nice place to be..
In spite of the odds I know of today..
Her love would assure that 'Every day is the Best day'

Holding her hand I learned to walk,  stand and run..
She instilled humanity into me...

Her love made me grow so strong,
It taught me to laugh and to cry..
to accept or fight along....
to try try and try....

She held me every time I felt I will fall
Standing in front of the 'demon' like a wall

It was her support which made me what I am,
She gave me the courage and power to dream....

Her faith on me never fades,
That is the secret of my grades..:-) he he he..:-)

All said and done, here I am..
Today, away from her, In a Metro's Glam Sham
Thanks to technology she is just a call away...
And all this is all I wanna say------

Love You lots Dearest Mummy...:-) Miss You.:-(

Happy Mother's Day to  mummy....

- from the apples of your eyes- Bhargavi and Srinivas..:-)

Will it ever be ?????

Life has many curves and turns. Some turns are smooth; some sharp; some other steep. Some  have a scenic view of a valley of flowers while some scream out the pains of a tragic incident… We meet so many people as we glide through these turns --Some known, some unknown……some who come and never go…….some whom we meet for a few moments and cherish the memories of those moments for the rest of our lives…. some who come, whom we don’t want to let go…but who eventually depart, leaving tears behind ( With time, the tears dry up, leaving behind an unfulfilled wish, a dream..…. ) Some people traverse a journey from becoming unknown to known. This occupies major part of our life.  Unknown to known…..what a transition!!! Sometimes in happens in a short span of time……at times even in seconds…..and sometimes even a lifetime is not enough!!!!!    Human mind and heart keeps searching for people whom it can call its own. It feels a sense of security among such people. That is why it  is always in a quest…….quest for those own ones………  THE OWN ONE……….!!!!

Humans spend first half of their lives in finding/searching/hunting for their perfect better halves and the rest of their lives, in thinking and wondering- was the choice Actually THE PERFECT CHOICE???

I know some readers will detest here, saying that nothing in this life is perfect. Everything is relative. We have to make adjustments and lead life. AGREED. But this So Called Adjustment should not end up becoming a Compromise. There's a thin line of difference between adjustment and compromise, if only we realize it and are able to draw it at the right time and at the right place.

I am not pessimistic about people. We do meet such understanding people in our journey. They support us, comfort us, share their space with us, give us their patient ears; They laugh with us, they help us hold our tears back, and if necessary, they let us cry, holding a box full of tissues ready. We humans, basically seeking in nature,  start believing that we have found one of our OWN ONE. That person becomes very important in our life. Emotional support is very important for us humans. (I know some of the readers might again detest. May be, such kind of people are strong enough to deal everything themselves. But I am two hundred percent sure that people who claim that they are Emotionally Independent also resort to some kind of support. Peep inside and ask yourselves.)  Soon, we start believing that we are in a safe zone. But we learn in sometime that nothing in this life is permanent. We were expecting toooo much from a relationship. The relationship could not take the burden of our expectations and faded away, leaving a mist, a fog. Or, was the relationship not strong enough, right from the beginning, to support us??? After all, having expectations, at least some basic dal, roti kind of  needs is our birth right. Was it a momentary illusion?? A mirage??? And if a certain relationship fails to give that support right from the inception, is it worth expecting any kind of commitment from such a fading relationship. 

The current trend is of Social Networking. We boast of having hundreds of Friends on our Social Networking list. But how many of them are really worth being called as Friends??? Friends who are Soul-mates??? I would prefer to call this list as list of contacts than list of friends. I know people will again detest with this view of mine. May be there are people who are lucky enough to have Really Great and True friends on their list. May God bless them and their friendship with long life. But what I am speaking about is my own experience. It need not be the same with everyone. After all, every person's life is different. Sometimes we need only one true friend to spend moments with and not a Bunch of The So Called friends who claim to be good friends.

All said and done, all of us (almost), at some or the point of time in our lives, feel lonely, solitary.( I know most of the people agree will agree, but there will also be a bunch of the INDEPENDENT LOT who will again detest. !!!! Can't help!!! People have got used to lying to themselves.) God does balance everything, by sending help at the right time. And if you don't see any help coming, it is a sign that God wants you to evolve.  Learning time!!!! 

Will it ever be??? Will we ever find those own ones??  Will that one own or owns  touch our life with enough intensity that we feel the sense of security????  

The answer is right in front of us. But we , Emotional lads, with a cover on our eyes,  fail to see it!! God does send help.... every time....in some or the other form. The help may not be from the same source every time, but shouldn't the  fact that we are getting help every time be sufficient enough to solve the issue of our solitariness. Help is always there. We should be wise enough to find it and grab it when it is at our disposal.  Different people some to our rescue at different times. Sometimes known...sometimes even unknown people end up helping us, though unknowingly!! But help does come our way. So, just keep your eyes wide open, the doors of your heart open and most importantly- your brains open.....

IT WILL BE .....NOW AND......FORE EVER.............actually....IT HAD ALWAYS BEEN...just that we did not realize....!!! :-) :-) :-) :-)
