Can you choose?

Its tough..
but the choice HAS to be MADE
And then once you make the choice
The toughest part is living the choice
Every single day
Every single day
Every single day

Relationships & Us...We & Relationships

In the voyage of life - You build, nurture and let-go of one / many relationships....
And in a pensive moment when you try to connect the dots of your life, you realize the many facets of relationships

Some make you love yourself
Some teach you to fall in love
Some coerce you to experience love
Some enable you to express your love
Some make you understand the meaning of life

Some make you define your priorities
Some enable you to choose your priorities
Some compel you to re-define your priorities

Some teach you 
Some make you teach 

Some are amazing
You are amazed at how some turn out
Some never cease to amaze you

Some inspire you
To some you are an inspiration

Some make you care
Some teach you to care
Some show you the way to care
And some make you realize that its not worth caring for

Some make you laugh
Some make you cry
Some make you hope
And some make you pine

Some make you forget yourself
Some make you forget the world
Some make you forget time
Some make you forget life

Some encompass you in a bubble
Some make you burst your bubbles
Some fill your life with bubbles of many kinds

Some are great
Some are good
Some are okay
Some are bad
Some are ugly

There are just so many kinds of relationships
And each one
Was meant to be
Is meant to be

To make you live
To make you learn
To make you love
To make you what you are
To mold you to what you should be
To eventually route you to the final destination.....

The Crazy Writer In Me.....


Like a cat, I prefer sitting in the far corner of my place with my back against the wall, and spilling my thoughts....

Writers are crazy. The better the writer, the crazier she is. People develop a fascination with a writer they like. But you don't want to really get to know a writer. You can't really know a writer. Because a writer is not one person. She is so many people in one person. She'll love you and hurt you and break you. She has the itch you'll never be able to scratch. A craving you'll never be able to satisfy. You are better off knowing the writer only through her writings. 

She is alluring, and mysterious and fascinating, and you will find her sitting in a corner of the house,coffee shop, book shop or a library in a pretty dress writing in a vintage notebook, Ipad or a tiny laptop. She'll stare into the void with her lips sightly parted. She'll smile at the rain outside, then she'll start scribbling again. She may or may not be wearing glasses, depending on the kind of day she is having, but she'll always have her hair down until she is forced to tie them up. She likes to be free, you see.  She'll sip out of her coffee every now and then. She'll rarely hold the cup with the handle. She likes to try new ways. 

At this time, you'd probably want to go up and talk to her. She seems harmless. She is not. She wont be interested in you, no matter how handsome or smart or intelligent you are. She may be interested in the idea of you, but she won't be interested in you. Nothing that is vast in the universe enters into our lives without a curse. This one is her curse.  

If you still decide to talk to her, be warned. She will spell-bind you with her beautiful smile, and she'll impress you with her thoughts, because she can talk about anything in the world. She's well read and well traveled. She'll even make up stories if she doesn't have actual knowledge.You really can't win her.

Shades and stages if life.....

Isn't falling in love such a wonderful feeling?
This world has such excellent examples of people falling head over heels in love.
So what makes two people love each other so intensely?
Can it be chemistry?
Can it be shared likes and dislikes?
Could it be both?
Whatever it is, love isn't impatient.
Love can be that gentle tug without heart, when you talk or think about that person.
Love isn't selfish. Because you give all you can and expect little in return.
Love isn't lust, because when you love that person, you could go an entire lifetime, without lusting.
Love is that soothing tub of warm water when your body is freezing.
No other emotion in history can be more powerful than to fall in love.
While you are falling in love, you also wonder if you are going to get hurt when you hit the ground. True love can however make you land on the ground like a cat.
So is love a lost cause?
I don’t know.
But this I know. Love is that cognitive elixir that can make everyday life a whole lot easier to bear.
Can we sell bottled love?
Maybe never.
Loving a person can be the most fulfilling act a human being can do.
Can we conjure love out of thin air?
Again, no.
Sometimes, you find it and you will live the rest of your lives, wondering why you didn't meet each other earlier.
And then sometimes, you don’t and you will live with a person who is incompatible and has nothing in common.
To find a person, who can reciprocate the love you yearn for, is the single greatest goal human have.
So what is love?
Love makes you grin a little longer and blush pinker.
Love makes your walk a little livelier.
Love is that feeling of security and trust.
Love makes you want to go that extra marathon for him.
Love makes everything around you so much better.
Love can shrink distances and let you hold each other.
Love can make your heart skip a beat when you are together yet apart.

Take love out of a person and the world will be a cruel place to exist but love can make life that much more colorful.

Life and everything in between :-)

I have been n thinking a little about relations off late. Late twenties does that to you I guess, and it is easy for every other conversation to disembark at the point of life-partners, relationships, marriage. Whether it’s at the dinner table, a casual conversation at your yoga class, an evening out with a bunch of old friends and cousins, or banter with a colleague , everybody wants to steer the topic of talk to a man they think I may be interested in, or then where the mystery man is.

I have looked long and hard at the relationships around me be it my close friends, cousins, and had the chance to chew over what I wanted. I want someone to live with, someone to spend a Sunday evening with, someone who enjoys my insanity, someone who listens to my crazy talks and someone to cook for. I want someone with whom I can walk barefoot on the beach and look at the stars, travel the world with, and meet each of my dreams with.

But these days I fail to understand looking at people why don’t they try to understand their spouse or partner in a relationship be it marriage, courtship or dating? I think each and every relationship needs to nurture and bloom into something beautiful. Each and everyone relation needs understanding, acceptance, support and fine-tuning for it blossom. These days people fall short to understand that and instead of handling it peacefully they handle it with annoyance, stress and negativity...which forces them to end something beautiful which started on a beautiful note.

Try looking at life and relations with positivity and never vent out venom& malice on your significant another. I don’t want to sound like an agony aunt or some counselor here but try looking at things from all perspectives and see how beautiful this roller coaster thing called life would be :-)

Just had this thing in my head so thought why not put in on my blog.

Stay happy and spread a ray of happiness everywhere you go

Women&Tears.....

I've always wondered what is it about women and tears...?
They seem to be co-related by some multifarious equation
The equation is governed by dynamic variables  
Which are a function of time, people, circumstances, context & other miscellaneous variables

Is it the emotions?
Is it the vulnerability?
Is it the strength?
Is it the helplessness?
Is it the only outlet?
Is it the play of hormones? 
Is it a sign of power?
Is it the sign of love?
Is it a show of care?
Is it the fastest way to get things moving?

Whatever it is, there is a complex co-relation between Women and Tears! 

I can't help but end with this beautiful story that has been circulating on the internet for a while now.

Why God Gave Women Tears...Author Unknown...
A little boy asked his mother "Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm a woman", she told him.
"I don't understand”, he said.
His mum just hugged him and said, "And you never will"

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason", was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God; and when God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said:"When I made the woman she had to be special .I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give comfort I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. .I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her man through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good man never hurts his woman, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed 
This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.

You see: The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.

Corporate Chameleon: The Art of Saying Nothing to the Office "Two-Face"

We all know the type. They walk up to your cubicle, smelling faintly of filter coffee and toxic positivity, flash a brilliant smile, and say...
