Constants balance my life!

Early morning gym/ walk gets me to be extremely fresh and happy
Makes me forget the previous day, good, ok or crappy

Having time to sit and eat breakfast with my entire family is just totally bliss
Just that the day begins so positively with the bestest people in my life, making me all set for the work’s hiss

People rushing out fighting to get into cabs with air conditioners on, save them from the heat and dust?
Well, I love keeping my hair open, listen to my fav music, peep outside the window and drown myself in the morning breeze – helps me remove my mind’s rust 

While working, a message from my bestie or someone I adore/ love can bring that smile back on my face
Just a re-assurance that I have someone special to fall back upon.. someone who will not compete with me in this crazy corporate rat race

When I am totally de motivated and want to just pack up my bags for the day
A call from my angelic sister does it all for me, to be back in full swing.. then even when the sun don’t shine, I can still keep making hay

Wherever I am, in which ever part of the world.. late evening, I will get his call
And all he will ask, all good? We’re waiting for you to get home.. Well that’s my paa.. protecting me from any and every haul

You know when I am tired and I come home really stressed post work
A simple hug from mom, granny does it all for me, no space for any smirk

Before sleeping, the late night conversations with that special someone makes me feel life’s love
The good part of life, and I end up sleeping with a dreamy smile on my face, thanking the god above

So, however inconsistent my day would be, good or bad
These very constants in my life make life beautiful for me.. coz they aren’t just a fad.

I always believe, treat every relation like it’s here to stay forever. Give it your everything. Don’t hold back.
It’s ok if someone takes you for granted. It just means they know you’re always going to be there. It feels great to be a constant in someone’s life.

Shudder them up, to remind them you too need their attention. But never leave them.
Constants are just not people, these could be habits, sources of happiness, anything that bring us out from our boredom, our routine. Bring us back to life.
Between all the incoherent relations/ people we have around us, the equation of life is balanced beautifully only because of the constants in our life 

Blabber of thoughts...

Today, after a long.. A turmoil of thoughts circle my mind

Maybe I just need a few days vacation to unwind

Or maybe it’s more than just work this time that’s bothering me

I try hard to read my mind myself.. clearing the dust on the windshield, but unable to  clearly see

Am I really struggling to fit in to a place where I don’t belong

Trying to not accept this as a matter of fact. How much longer to prolong?

I usually don’t give anything less than 100% to a task at hand

But what do I do with masked people all around my beautiful land

Patience is a virtue I have learnt so well I must say now

I am trying hard to keep my calm through small & big storms somehow

A tinge of loneliness encircles me today… I don’t know why

Maybe I miss something today, or may be not. Its just too much thinking gone into something else. Well the later would be a lie.

How cool are people to listen to an honest heart?

Other than this blog/ wall of mine, most people genuinely care a fart.

I guess all I need is a genuine hug of acceptance of my ruthlessly honest personality I guess.

But why wear a mask, when I chose to be ME, nothing more. Nothing less.

Happily ever after..

Their eyes met… and he looked at her with a longing

The look she craved for and had always wanted for the belonging..

Her azure eyes shone fears of past and she resisted moving towards him

He thought she didn’t love her enough and his face reflected a look so grim

Her silence confessed her feelings so pure

Their eyes hugged from a distance with lure

His eyes echoed her tears that trickled down slowly as pearls

He slowly paced towards her, her heart was going through emotional twirls

he gently held her hand and placed it near his heart

and gave her the everlasting loving look which hit her like a cupid’s dart

she touched him to confirm if he wasn’t a dream just like every night

and he smiled and kissed her lovingly on her forehead freeing her from her emotional fright

That was the moment of silent trance coz their heartbeats rhymed so perfect

They just hugged till they almost melted into each other, nothing else to remember or no one to forget

He knelt down and proposed to her saying  ‘Be my Myrah forever and fill my life with love and laughter!’

She blissfully whispered, ‘im your Myrah, coz you gave my love story its happy ever after :)’

Cheers,

Cameos in LIFE

Like me, I am sure we all believe ‘main apni favourite hoon’ concept…

How many times we have seen ourselves in the mirror and felt “we should have got that promotion/ that award” or “I could have done better than that chick/ guy”

Haven’t we rehearsed hypothetical speeches that we’d give if we’d win an award at the Oscars/ Film fare/ etc..

For us, we all give award winning performances every day. We all are our favorites. There ain’t anybody like us… right?

Look at your life closely.. Apart from the obvious few people who care for us and are there with their undivided support and attention.. Who all get us closer to where we wana be?

A huge lot of supporting actors. Special appearances. There’s always a someone playing a cameo in your life to make it for you.

And let’s forget the obvious people who’d be there always. Irrespective. This is for those people whom we have conveniently forgotten, but without whom we wouldn’t be where we are.

During every tough time,  there has always been a stranger, an acquaintance, a third party who directly/ indirectly acts as a catalyst.. a trigger to make you stronger… a cause for change. A cause for the restlessness. A cause for a transformation.

Could be competition in the form of a peer, that makes you perform better. Which helps you re-discover the inner potential in you?

Could be jealousy in the form of a better looking girl/ human being trying to hit on your guy. Which helps you feel stronger for your love, take him more seriously and less for granted?

Could be a child whom you are just observing when you’re about to quit on life. Just by seeing his unadulterated enthusiasm of life, may be that helped you to re-consider your decision to quit?

Could be a random conversation between two strangers in a train when you’re deep engrossed in your thoughts. May be that helped you sort out your mind?

Could be a person you’ve lost in life, his memories make you do certain good things?

Could be a character in a novel/ film/ real life hero which made you change the way you look at things?

Could be a person who gave us a long bhashan and vanished. But his words made sense. And which made you stronger?

Could be a jerk in your life who once said ‘ YOU cannot do that thing in your life”.. and which made you work towards your weakness and you finally did achieve it?

Honestly, let’s for a second think about all these people in our life? Do we even minutely remember them? Ever? Hardly/ barely right?

And look what they’ve done to us? J  They’ve helped us become what we are today. They’ve enabled the change.

Made us whom we are today. Or at least played a huge role in the process.

Other than the obvious few in our lives, there are these certain people who give special appearances in our bestseller life story. Who act as enablers, triggers for change. For our better. Directly or indirectly they transform us, leading us closer to where we've always wanted to be. Without which our life story would not be even worthy nominations. So here's to the cameos in our life, to make good things happen. :)

Cheers

Dil toh bachha hai ji :)

Somewhere in a beautiful house a small fight between siblings i can see..
Hair pulling to pillow fighting... Pinching and all the verbal abuses that can possibly be..


The night was spent in crying and tears, but morning the elder sister kept a sorry chit near the younger one's
pillow n waited for her to see
As soon as the chit was seen, there were hugs and aplogies.. Then i just realised dil toh bachha hai ji..


A small 5 year old kid crying and wailing 'i dont wana go to school dad'
just then supermom comes with a chocolate and chips and there goes a smiling grin with this lad


A granny was upset that she could not walk and go out to eat bhajiyas in the rain
But so what, her grand daughter appeared with two full plates of bhajias, the smile was worth it, nothing in wain


A fight between two best friends ended in a very bad note, they swore to never talk to each other then
But a i miss u message brought tears n smiles on their faces, aftr all they wer bestest frens


This stupid thing that beats within us..
What we call as heart... All it does is trust


it beats not only for itself but also for the people it loves and cares
all the sadness it can contain and the happiness it can share


Remember the heart is just like a child..
Its innocent and gullable, although at times it may get wild.
.
As quickly it gets angry, sooner it accepts you back..
Whenever in doubt quietly listen to your heart.. It will never let u go on wrong track.


Always try to make this beautiful thing happy, never let it wee
Coz howeverstrong it may appear.. Dil toh bachha hai ji..


Cheers

Someone noticed you, when you were busy being invisible

When you wore your worst clothes, think for a minute who stood by you

And whispered in your ears, hey princess you look your wonderful best in this attire too

When you failed in your exams… and you were all scared to face the world, felt like an end

There was someone who came and held your hand and said, we’re with you always in life’s every bend

When you screwed up in life… not once but at times a lot…

They did not scold you too much, instead reasoned out with you and helped you stand again strongly on the ground, so that you can give life another positive shot..

When you were so low and wanted to run away to a place where you knew no one

They even pretended so and let you be, so that you come out shining with a smile from that hatred bun

When you cried like a cute baby while watching your favourite movie and that spoilt your make up

Someone kissed on your forehead and said nothing and just held your hand and got you a coffee cup

For all those times when you’ve almost given up inside you

Some force got you back to life and smiling have you guessed how did all that happen too?

All those times when you wanted to run away or you were actually invisible…

There was someone always with you during all those times. Rock solid. Telling you to be strong. At times even being your strength for you.

These are the very constants in your life. Think about all those people who have been in such ‘invisible you times’.

NEVER LET THEM GO FROM YOUR LIFE.

Coz you are standing today happy and grounded only coz of these people…

If they would not have noticed you when you were busy being invisible, high chanced you would lead an invisible life.

Here’s to all those who have stood by me J

I’m blessed to have you’ll in my life…

Those innocent eyes…

At Fort while we were walking, Me and Sree.. our usual chit chatter was on
A small dainty looking creature walked towards us.. she was wearing something torn colored fawn

She pulled our dupattas and we freaked out coz of the jerk
We kinda ignored and moved on, thinking it’s one of those kid’s typical quirk

Again that afternoon we went down to Mocambo’s just opposite our door
We were relishing goey chocolate on our way back, she was staring at us her eyes showed lure

We both just looked at that pretty petite girl looking at us with her popping eyes
That we noticed her, she came running to us “didi mujhe khila do na kuch” were her cries

We bought her biscuits & vada pav and she devoured it almost instantly and in haste
We did this almost everyday but the divinely feeling made us feel nothing was a waste

She was so excited to greet us every morning.. she did not demand anything at that time, smart!
But ensured when we were down post lunch, she would eat our heads till we bought her something from the neighbouring mart

Today I walk through the crowded streets of andheri looking around for something I did not know what..
She must have grown big now… going to school I hope, but I miss that sparkle those innocent eyes bought 

Love,
Sree & Neha

Always always always a best friend...

YOU saw, maybe not.. what lay behind those green moist eyes..
yet YOU were kind of there, most of the times under those good and bad skies

YOU felt, maybe not what went through ME, when your hand did touch
YOU probably never sensed it all.. maybe you did, but didn't care much

I was there, YOU knew, with you at all and every time
YOU enjoyed with me, laughed with me during all those sessions of tequila and lime

Yet, I loved YOU and you did too, but not as a lover
and again, I was with you each day, with tons of emotions to cover

When YOU screwed up at times in life
there was no one but ME in all that trife

SHE even dumped YOU and moved on
and YOU hugged me and cried till the next dawn

We grew closer as years and each day pass went
We always had that chemistry, but somehow you wanted US to move to a beautiful bend

& then one day SHE apologetically came crying to ME, o sigh
ME & SHE stood in front of YOU, my emotions were on a lifetime high

& that was the moment, I thought YOU would hold me right till the end
YOU came forwards towards me, held my hand and said, thanks for bringing her back, you'll always always always be my best friend ....

Such is LIFE,
Neha :)

Lovestruck!!

What is this love? I sat thinking yet again..
binging to find what it does mean I know its wierd to think - ‘wtf is loooove’ at 25, especially after all what each of us in life has seen

It isn’t just the quintessential feeling of ‘butterflies in stomach’ that love is supposed to give
But it’s that fulfilling enriching experience that even makes a person on his death bed want to again LIVE

Disputing myself and my SRK who quoted in DTPH, “there are signs which God gives to indicate that you’re in love now”
Now I feel, it comes without any indication or signal.. there is no when, no where or no how...

It’s a nameless existence which starts with moments and gradually makes you feel its presence felt
It’s then you connect with someone.. and even his look can make your heart melt

Disputing myself again, “You’re not in love when you start enjoying dancing in the rain”
Love’s when you don’t realise it’s thundering or storming and you’re walking comfortably holding his hand in the rain...

Love happens when you connect even if you’re sitting in two faraway corners of the room and your message is conveyed by your eyes
It’s that beautiful emotion which makes you accept all his/her imperfections.. coz then life is so transparent.. and there are no lies..

Love happens when there is no PDA required, coz the vibes in the air convey your touch
Love happens when you’re back home at 3 am disturbed and he is awake waiting for you just to say ‘ im here and i love you so much’

Love is a strength and not a weakness, never let it be..
Be happy to fall in love and don’t ever regret it or wee..

Love can’t be manipulated by some formula or rules..
Whoever said that were a bunch of fools..

There is no phase/ date, love happens just like that...
Enjoy those moments, coz we live the best moments of life then coz the feeling is ‘bombat’

I'd like to end my note with the song which best conveys LOVE -"Milo na tum toh hum ghabraaye, milo to aankh churaaye, humein kya hogaya hai... humein kya hogaya hai"

Shifting focus to the patiala peg of life :)

At times we try too hard to figure out where we are...
are we close enough to where we wanted to be or we’re still too far

We fret on why certain things happened the way they did...
At times we chase things as if basis that our life was on a bid

We keep pondering over why he said that and why she did not say
Even if things did not happen acc to our fancies, it still moves on, come what may

We wait for a stoopid sms from a crappy no-one to come and that proves he/she loves us!
Fools, wake up... life is not about these petty things... move on else u may miss the life bus!

Relax and don’t stress over such small things in this beautiful life today
Coz these are situations which may even cease to exist maybe tomorrow or even end of the day

Life was, is and always will be what we make of it.. So let’s make it large and enjoy every bit :) Ignore the 30 and 60 mls of life from now on..Cheers to patiala peg of life, bring it on :)
