Paper Planes

Few months back, I dint knew the meaning of friends. I used to think that friends are like many other strangers whom we meet, have fun with and then, they just leave and go away and then, we meet new people and the process gets repeated again… “Friends are life”, “friends are the best thing which can happen in your life” and blah blah… these things had no meaning in my life, absolutely no meaning. And then, I changed my job and came to a new office. Even then I thought that I will make new friends easily. And the days started passing by… a week, 15 days, a month but I wasn’t able to make such friends, such which I had in my previous company: my gang… all my buddies… And then I started missing them, missing them terribly. Then gradually I understood the importance of friends, what they mean in one’s life! I understood that its just not possible to make friends anywhere, anytime! I actually understood the difference between acquaintances and friends. I started having a strong urge ...

Yesterday evening my mood was really off and I was completely pissed off due to some office things, and also because i was missing my gang, my friends! I really dint felt like going back home so I decided to stop at tankband (its a lake in hyd) on the way. I never liked that place much but there was no other option. So, I thought will stand there alone for sometime, will relax myself and then will go home. Because if I would have gone back home with my mood off, I wouldnt have been able to hide it from my mom and then she would have become too much worried! Obviously there are things which are so difficult to explain to moms and for moms to understand! And this is among those things.   How to tell her that this stress is something we have to bear everyday whether we like it or not and it’s a part and reality of our lives! Anyways, I have been living in this city from last 5 years, have been seeing this same tankbund lake...

I wrote this post on 15th morning! But could'nt post it that day as it was a mad day! So here it is: Its morning and still my excitement is same! It has not reduced even a bit… Last night, I actually compelled myself to sleep! Why is it so hard to sleep when you are thrilled! Today is a little special day for me because of many reasons! One yesterday we have finished 100 posts on our website! Yes, 100… I am so so happy about that… only we 4 know how much effort it has taken for us to reach here… Only we 4 know to what extent, we had to keep ourselves motivated to finish this remarkable number. Second thing is I will be going to my old organization for a party tonight! This really means a lot to me… a lot. That too I will not be going as a part of that organization but as a part of their client! This is so superb… Leaving that company was one of the worst and most painful things that ever happened to me! I was and infact, I am in love with that organization. I worked ther...

Hello!! This is my first blog... Its not that I am new to writing but yes, i am new to blogging. As previously i used to write only for myself. But then i thought why not start writing a blog:) And so i am here! You must be thinking then who has written the 2 previous blogs? Well, they are written by my husband... he is an amazing writer! I am sure if have read them, then you will also have the same view about his writing. I really wanted him to continue writing but being in a job of 10-8, its quite difficult! I had mentioned about a confession in my blog's heading! It is that I am not at all a good writer, infact, I am really very bad at writing but still i just love it, i love to pen down my ideas, because i believe that i am like a bird and my thoughts: they are my wings- they take me high whenever I want to, they help me to dive in the sky whenever I wish to, they bring me back home when its night, they take me to a complet...

Strange as it may seem – the most difficult things in life are the ones we deliberately do. From waiting forever not marrying until a ‘right age’ to choosing the ‘right popular career’ (as against pursuing the career of your choice), there seems nothing right about the ‘right’. We all deliberately choose to live in the typecasted, society certified cocoons just to ensure that we are as “successful” as “success” defined by the society. The result is the world today wears a mask and despite global warming, it is ensured that the ‘cool quotient’ is always Kool. Kool has a strange definition – it is how others feel when they look at me and no more, how I feel when I look into the mirror. May be the mirror is also enough thoughtful to portray the ‘Kool’ image of me and not my image for the fear of non conformance. As if he saw the future, T.S.Eliot commented about a hundred years back, “Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is t...

Random thoughts: Cheer up, You are a winner! Its funny how life slams brakes on things you want to go full throttle on and just when you start to enjoy the gush of cool air and the view around, your realize you are on a downward slope – trying hard to slow so that you savor the surroundings. In both these ‘situations’ there is a commonality though – the slamming of the brakes! An act very synonymous with phases like ‘slowing down growth’, ‘stunned growth’ and ‘marginalizing growth”, Stupid as it may sound – I find growth to be the next common word in the write up thus far. However, what is interesting is that how most of us relate our taking a deep breath and enjoying the environment, to our ‘diminishing growth rate’. The journey called life can be best compared to a walk in the woods. Different approaches for different travelers. Some, the ‘fast and the furious’ kinds like to make it a dash to the other end. The other ‘not so fast and the curious’, like to stop by and have a nice look...
