Down the memory lane...


Today I visited a stunning place,
Place where there was a fabulous house...
House which is home to my heart,
That’s the place where my heart stays...
Its located somewhere down the memory lane,
Lane that passes through my past's highway...
N that's where my heart still resides,
That's where it takes its peaceful rides...
I asked my heart to come n live with me,
In this new world, passing through a new way...
But it refused to come n settle with me,
May be here it will not get the same pleasure n ecstasy...
It still wants to be there,
It still wants to hang about somewhere...
Somewhere down the memory lane,
Where memories of my childhood stays...
Somewhere down the memory lane,
Where memories of my teens are kept...
Somewhere down the memory lane,
Where all my crazy stories are hidden...
Somewhere down the memory lane,
Where all my naughty tales are reserved...
And may be my heart is happy living with all of them,
May be that's where it finds happiness n compassion...
That lane is decorated with love n joy,
Where else will one find such a beauty to enjoy...
Why would my heart stay with me,
When it has such a serene place to live...
Why would it want to come to this world,
Which is filled with noise and bustling...
Where peace is the most difficult thing to discover,
And happiness is something that is rarely found...
Where compassion is an extinct name,
And selfishness has its roots stretched everywhere...
Roots strong enough to kill all the other emotions,
Why would my poor heart want to live in such a place...
When it has such a quiet place to reside,
Far from this world, somewhere down the memory lane...

Wear your success and confidence like a T-Shirt and not a Tuxedo!

I was reading an interview of Priyanka Chopra in one of the magazines the other day and there was one thing which she said and which captivated my mind immediately and frankly, I do not remember anything from that interview apart from that one thing! To some ques, she replied “Wear your success and confidence like a T-Shirt and not like a tuxedo!!!” Wowww… what a saying and how true… If you can carry your success in a subtle and a causal way, nothing like it… But that’s an art! Believe me! Carrying your success in a positive and a natural way is really not easy! I mean its like being flamboyant but in a natural way! But the problem here is presenting this flamboyancy into a natural way sans attitude which most of the people, unfortunately are incapable of doing! Ahhhh…. And great are the people who sometimes cross limits of showing off! They just love to show off and cant live without it: They show off their wealth, their status, their success and some people are even much horrib

Dear Myntra and Flipkart, thanks for snatching away my freedom!

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”  ―  Charlotte Brontë ,  Jane Eyre I am an avid Shopaholic, a compulsive one! At times, I feel this is some kind of a disorder I am going through. The moment my salary is credited into my account, I start shopping! And within the first week, I am broke, I am left with no bones! And the rest of the month goes in waiting for the next salary! Its like my wallet has a hole. I guess it has... Anyways, boom of the online shopping sites have actually galvanised this disorder, much to my disdain. The moment I get little time in office, at home or for that matter anywhere on this planet, I just open my laptop and start browsing, drooling over the thousands and thousands of pretty shoes, dresses, accessories, just craving to see them in my wardrobe! I just always open these sites with an idea, rather a very clear one of 'window shopping' but then, in the middle I don't know what

The transformation of an arranged marriage to a love one!

“If I get married, I want to be very married.”  ― Audrey Hepburn Arranged marriages: Lets look at what wikipedia says about it: Arranged marriage is a type of marital union where the bride and groom are selected by a third party rather than by each other. It was common worldwide until the 18th century. Wait a second, does that say '18th century'. Yes, it indeed does. The world has moved on, and we, Indians are stuck, stuck in between a combat. A fight of deciding where to go, which side to choose and whom to follow: our old traditional culture or the west.  Anyways, arranged marriages still accounts for an overwhelming majority of marriages that happens on our land. Though we do celebrate love, but only in movies and we are doing that since last 4 decades, but when it comes to applying it literally, it suddenly becomes a stigma! Love marriages are still considered a taboo in major parts of our society. Anyways, I am definitely not here to make
