May God bless them..
Hello...
Whats up? Well am good, pretty fine, but I guess something is making me feel uncomfortable. Few moments back, while I was walking through the lane outside, this lil girl caught my attention who was busy fossicking some useful garbage around. Yeah the word is right - useful. She didn't have her feet covered, hair resembling some worn out ropes, wearing a shabby frock, possibly the only piece of cloth she might have to cover herself. She was barely 7-8 years old, least interested to notice whats happening around her, whose passing her or noticing her. All that mattered to her was that garbage bin. This awful scene, as many times before, makes me go wild thinking what made me lucky enough to lead a comfortable life without any worries for survival, to think about my future instead of how am gonna survive for the next dawn of the day.
Poverty has always been bothering me. It always makes me ponder how I would have managed had I been into the same situation. Leading a miserable life, sacrificing at every step, compromising for every need and wish of yours, no freedom of thoughts, living with floods of problems to be faced every now and then, seeing your family in a constant state of dolor, feeling helpless about yourself, dwelling in boondocks, missing fans in summer, fighting with cold winters without proper blankets, lacking those minimum resources required to make a living and so much more! Doesn't that makes you wonder that we never at all had any problem in our lives? The situation gets worst when this poverty continues riding over the shoulders of senescent age. Old age is a stage at which one expects some attention and care which indeed is replaced by one in which they, as always, have to go out and earn whatever little they can, no matter whether their health allows or their feet ache! Its touching to see these people pulling rickshaws, cleaning dishes, carrying loads, serving tea and indulging in other pecuniary activities and yabbering with those trembling words. Amidst all this, its good to see them smiling at times. They surely might have been blessed to be able to manage finding some or the other reasons to smile and stay happy in their course of bridewell life. I sometimes wish if I could help them in some way as nothing seems as satisfying as being one of the reasons for their smile.
As of now, I only want to thank the Almighty for blessing me with a halcyon and mellifluous life where I can plan things other than just sustaining for another day. And WHATEVER, I guess life perhaps is one of the best gifts we have, I wish you a happy one!!
Be good, be fine!
Happy Living!!

Home Away From Home
This is not just a collection of words, but an articulation of a feeling that has been dwelling inside of me for more than 3 long years now. Though my hostel life is about to come to an end pretty soon, still there are uncountable feelings and experiences, both good and bad and ofcourse some people that remain attached to it through all these years which will make this life always seem afresh to me!
Here's a narration of all that i've been through but its not in my words, rather in those of my sweetest friend Aman. He wrote it for me, I am writing it here! Reading it, every time makes me wonder how the hell could he elaborate my thing so well and speak my heart out! I myself wouldn't have been so precise. Thanks ain't really the word for it. Also, this goes out to all my hostelites who have been a companion on the same road as mine..
Its a bright morning, am away from home,
I am thinking of my past three years, where they have gone!
I was alloted room no. 320 on the 1st floor,
I find a girl inside as I step inside the door!
We shake our hands with doubts in our mind,
but now we are close friends, very difficult to find!
I now share my room with 4 of my friends,
we do a lot of fun and follow the latest trends!
I remember the birthday parties, I remember all the fun,
I remember the time we laughed together and standing under the sun!
All the moments we share and all the surprises i get,
All the songs we sung together, I can never forget!
I look at my pictures and smile of my own,
Yeah you make it for me, A home away from home!
Its a bright morning, am away from my home,
Am in a hostel away from my Mom...
But I never feel bored, I never feel alone,
You people make it for me, A HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!

CeLeBrATiON!!!
Haelo.. how you doin?? I am as usual breathing healthy and celebrating life!! Celebration... hmm what definition does it actually hold? Well dictionary says it means "activities engaged in celebrating something". Now this is where the distinction comes into play, distinction in the reasons of celebration! I guess the topic transcends into multifarious divisions as we move from one individual to another. Festivals.. ahh the biggest celebration for the masses. With gallons of predefined rituals and tools, festivals carry within themselves their own charm of celebration sandwiched in that numinous spirit that we don't feel in our day-to-day lives! Diwali is one festival that actually is close to my heart. There ain't any specific reason for my liking but I enjoy each and every aspect of it with all my spirits! Be it crackers, the Pooja, the fun with family, the sweets all over, exchange of gifts, the emblazon activities, lights all the way, candles - my love and everything else that remains unmentioned, I love it all! Apart from festivals, there are moments of success which call for a mandatory celebration. Hey I've got a job.. lets dine out!! Or I've got my love.. lets make it a grand!! Celebration marks the importance of the moment right away. It gives you a source to express your happiness and recite your feelings to everyone who matters. And then what more can you ask for when your convivial moments are accompanied by your loved ones.. So just PARTY!!
Following in the line are anniversaries and birthdays! And here comes everyone's favorite i.e. Birthdays! In simple words, a birthday marks an incipient life, a nascent journey. Its special as yours belongs to only you! But for me its special because of the angels and cupids who make it so. Can't explain in just words what it feels! Its so beautiful a feeling that there are people who are only busy in making sure that my day would be the best ever for me. They would make all possible and impossible efforts for the day, would go wild thinking over and over to dig out that most exclusive theme that has never been witnessed, heard or even thought of, ache their empty heads round the clock just to remove the slightest imperfection if there is and chuckling what more spice can be added, would let no compromises enter into the scene and then of course would make it absolutely sure that I don't know anything of it!! ( They think so?? Let them ;) ). Its absolute fun to see those mavericks, who never cared for time being wasted, who only enjoy spending severals of hours doing nothing but lying, getting lethargic and passing on those wafer packets from one to another, scheduling each and every second of my day in the most beautiful way that could be possible. In a nut shell, I feel like the princess of nowhere ;) A sort of elysium. And then WHATEVER.. AM LOVIN IT !!!!!!! Those big and small surprises on a single day from your small world of your people can bless you with some moments whose memories can't be amassed in a day or two! Its vapors remain moist for a long time!! You may come and and go on the day itself buddy.. may be for some limited moments, but just wanna say thats lots more than just enough. By the end of the day, all I know is I have some real special people in my life who are there to take very good care of my joys and me too of course :)
LoVe YoU All !!
But at last, tell me something.. do you really think that one actually needs a reason to celebrate?? Ann ann.. I don't really think so! For me, every moment deserves a celebration. Getting gregarious without any reason is somewhat a different kinda fun. Everyone expects gifts on some occasion but those given without any reason or occasion are more valuable for me perhaps. Nothing out there is a small beer, everything needs to be accoladed. And its facile enough. Celebrate because you're free, you're haling good, coz you don't have anything else to do for now or you wanna shout at the highest pitch of yours, celebrate coz you are in a mood to dance, you wanna enjoy some real wild music, do it coz all you guys are together once again ( doesn't matter if you last met a day before only!!), celebrate coz you got the least marks in your sessionals (it surely is tough!!), celebrate coz you've got your guy or celebrate that your search is still on, celebrate just because you want to, you ought to, you deserve to and above all simply because you don't have a reason NOT to!! Work hard, party harder dude. Seeking reasons is waste of time my friend so what are you waiting for??
ITS THE TIME TO DISCO!!
EnJoY!!!!
