Paper Planes

"All humans are hypocrites the biggest hypocrite of all is the one who claims to detest hypocrisy." -  Peter Wastholm I recently got to know what a group of crows is called. I know it might be considered as a lack of knowledge and can be quite embarrassing, because this all, we are already done with studying in the initial years of our education! But then you learn new things every day, few of them are absurd, few of them makes you feel such an idiot and few of them can actually make you raise questions on your complete education! Phewww… Anyways, so let's get back to ‘the group of crows’. People who already know the answer: You can skip the complete drama that I am going to create in this paragraph and save yourselves by jumping to the next one. People who don’t know: Guess. Guess what it might be called? Group of crows… Nahhhh…. Crowd… Nahhh…. Flock… Nahhh…Gathering, cluster, bunch… No, No, No! Ok, enough of drama. So, it is called ‘Murder of crows’ Surpri...

And... today  I would be writing something really controversial, something that might give constipation to many, something after which I might be thought to be crazy! Anyways, I write what I feel... Being married has many advantages, and the amazing and beautiful ones (uncountable, I tell you!), but one thing that I detest about this institution would be I guess that just after a year or so, everybody around you start asking about your plans for kids, and this lot include your friends as well. After a while, you start feeling as if you were married just for having kids! And this curious question becomes more annoying when it gets transformed to "Do you have any health issues which is preventing you from having a baby?"  And this is something not just me, but many of my friends are also going through. And now, out of compulsion I have started playing with these people who ask me this question by throwing another question at them, why... why 'should...

I never post book reviews on this page of mine. But then, recently I read an extraordinary book, the review of which I am compelled to write at whatever places i can, its that beautiful and gripping! It would actually be an arduous task for me to hunt for words that could describe my feelings for this book! That could elaborate on how I felt after reading it... It's going to be a taxing exercise! I generally take my own sweet time to finish books, but this one! I tell you I finished in 2 days!  This book is, I guess the best portrayal of Krishna's life till date. It deals with his relationships with the four women whom he loved, loved intensely: Radha, Draupadi, Satyabhama, Rukmini. Unlike other epics where all his roles are confined in relation with Gokul, Kans, Kurukshetra, Gita, Arjuna etc... In fact, the beginning of the book itself is totally different. It starts with Krishna, being on his death bed, ready to be relieved from this wo...

Thoughts erupting like a volcano, questions arising like the waves... ... Questions about the world, about my existence, about everybody's existence... Creating a havoc in my brain Questions ranging from Why, what and how of my existence to where and what afterwards? Feeling like 'am going through a hurricane... Feeling like being stuck in a turbulent whirlpool What is it? Is something calling me? Or is it just another hallucination? I feel contented though, but still I am craving, craving for the unknown I feel happy though, but still am not in ecstasy I feel like a beggar, with nothing... Just few questions! Questions for which I am seeking answers Questions ranging from who I am, What am I doing and What is the meaning of my existence... They don't let me sleep, they don't let me rest... Who will answer my curiosities. Who will quench my thirst for that missing thing... At times, I feel it's all vain... It's all futile... Or is it just a delu...

Give me your heart Like an open field And i will show you what love is... I will show u the raw wilderness that i carry inside my heart And i will fill your life with happiness, spread across for miles and miles Without a trace of resentment... Without an ounce of sadness Give me your soul Like an open sky And i will show you how to fly I will show you how to spread ur wings and take a swing in the open air I will show u how it feels to take a leap I will show you what love really is And i will take you away, in the sky full of colors, happiness and joy Leaving all the sorrows behind for the mortals...

Can I ask something? Something... Do I make you happy? I know its not easy to answer But still I want to know! I just want to make you happy Though it feels opposite at times I wonder if I give you all that you want And I ponder if I am the woman you desire Will you ever leave? Say No please... Your happiness is all that I care about Your smile is all that I wanna see Your giggles are all that I wanna hear Nothing I want, if I cant have that Your sadness makes me wretched, Your gloominess drenches me with dejection I feel like taking you in my arms and holding you tight When I see you cry, I feel like wiping away your tears forever And I feel like giving you all that I have To stop you from bleeding, I can take away all your pains Just to make you smile Just to make you happy Even if it means to let you go... I will, yes baby I will I just wanna see you happy I just wanna see you smiling Even if I have to let you go... Coz I know I am not perfect M...

“Arguing with anonymous strangers on the Internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be—or to be indistinguishable from—self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.” ― Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon Read a news last week... Not exactly News - News... But yeah, it was featured on NDTV website, so I referred it to News. BTW, this is one of the most misused words these days: News! Anyways, yeah so the news was that someone tweeted to Sonakshi Sinha asking "What makes you so damn ugly?" Keeping Sonakshi's brilliant reply apart, I was actually upset by this one question. It dragged me into thinking what's wrong with people these days? They are kind of losing all their common sense of mannerisms and the decent way of behaving in public. I mean they don't bother about crossing that thin line of not respecting someone and insulting someone. There is a subtle difference between the two, which ...

image source:http://1ms.net/happy-girl-desktop-background-531033.html Have you ever noticed my smile when you compliment me: how so ever dwarfish, how so ever silly it is? Though I do not show it outside, I try hard to create an aura of calmness and tranquility 'coz that's what women are supposed to do they say... But then do you feel those rumbling vibrations? The ones that set my whole body quaking... Though I try to look so composed... Do you know your compliments rip through my body causing havoc? Are you even aware of the hurricanes that originate like giant engines that use my feelings as fuel! You don't... I guess... you don't! Well, let me tell you then... The moment you look at me, the moment your eyes meet every inch of my body, the moment those words complimenting me slip your tongue... I go crazy!  Every drop of my blood starts rushing through my veins: dancing and singing - causing a madness of such intensity that I can't ...

And that was the day... That was the day I remember... The day I discarded all that I had inside me, The day I abandoned it all... That was the day when I fell in love… A feeling so intense and an emotion so vigorous... That it left me with a surge of bewilderment...  A feeling I never experienced before... An emotion completely unknown... ‘Coz I never remember being in love ever,  with so much madness, with so much fervor... I fell in love with the man who did everything possible to make me fall for him The man who took all my pains away and gave me smiles instead... The man who kissed me passionately every morning I woke up The man who made me laugh and whom I called my soul mate... I fell in love with that lady sitting quietly in a corner But today her beautiful face looked so pale and lifeless...  Her eyes grim and filled with sorrow...  She: who brought me into this world, and gave me all that she had... She: who made me walk, a...

Just got a thought on happiness...  Nothing is worth of depriving you from happiness, rather euphoria!! Be happy, be elated... life is short, too short to worry about any damn thing:) So keep smiling... Fill the world around you with happiness!! 

“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 mak...

Source: Quora.com ' Ab hume aur kuch nahi chahiye bhaisaab, bus ladki sundar aur saaf rang ki ho ' Translation: 'We do not expect anything, just that the girl should be beautiful and should have fair color' This is something that my parents recently have got used to listening to. But you know they (the bride-seekers) begin with saying hume aur kuch nahi chahiye , but the list goes on and on, its never ending. At times, I wonder if they are really strong believers of Superheros, I mean that is why they look out for a Superwoman!! Right? Anyways, so let me just put down few of very common demands/ qualities that the family of the groom look in, while searching for a 'suitable' super girl (in the same order) 1. Sundar aur saaf rang (She has to be beautiful and of fair color): The MOST important and mandatory thing! If this is not there, the below list stays futile. 2. Padhi Likhi ho (Should be well educated) 3. Khana banana aata ho (Should know co...

Just read these amazing lines in Winter of the World, about 2 kinds of marriage!!! Totally loved the way it has been described... 

“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 wh...

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave. - Martin Luther Had been thinking to write this one since long, but then I could never gather enough courage to do so. Why? Because of many reasons, primarily being that after this, I might be labeled as an anti-feminist person. I might have to incur the wrath of many women, but then let me tell you one thing: I am a die hard feminist and many of my posts have been written on the same. I truly believe in the incredible qualities that come with, being a woman. They are unmatchable! But, then as everything and everybody is not perfect, we do have our own flaws... Anyways, being a slave to the corporate world gives a lot of exposure to people and so, happened with me. With many things apart, I got to witness the ugly part of the world as well. A part where men unabashedly are so open for relationships (and not just physical, even emotional) outside their marriage. And no...
