But why...

Wrapped in the best of her dress,there she was looking like a princess,

Those sparkling tiny eyes of her, had many things to share...

But why are they numb today...?

Those naughty talks of her, had immense strength to bring delight on a dull countenance..

But why are those lips quiet today...?

Those little hands of her, that tender touch of her, had great sense of comfort and relief

But why they lay frozen today....?

Those tiny feet of her, kept running, stumbling, infusing vitality and liveliness,

But why are they motionless today...?

Why everything around appears so gloomy and incomplete today...?

The girl child is a gift of god...they are the very meaning of life on the earth...

But why are they killed before they are even born...

Why it is difficult

Why it is difficult to accept that others are better than us...
Why it is difficult to see others climbing the ladders of success...
Why it is difficult to appreciate others for the job well done...
Why it is difficult to forgive others for the pain they give...
Why it is difficult to encourage others towards success...
Why it is difficult to step forward and help someone who has met with an accident..
Why it is difficult to raise voice against injustice...
Why it is difficult in the fact that God exists...
Why it is difficult to believe when people say...parents always think better for their children...
Why it is difficult to have faith in our fate when everything is going wrong...
Why it is difficult to believe that after dark shadow of pain and failure, there will be sunshine and life will be beautiful again...
Why it is difficult to believe that someone can love insanely...
Why it is difficult to put trust on people these days....
Why it is difficult to follow values and morals set by our elders...
Why it is difficult to distance oneself from amoral stuff, knowing fully well its dire consequences...
Why it is difficult to be good to others all the time...
Why it is difficult to love and live this life without complaints and grudges...why???

I like the way we talked on the first day and then on
I like the way you make me feel loved and cared
I like the way you say that you'll be by my side, today, tomorrow and forever
I like your innocent sweet smile that sets everything straight and alright
I like your making funny faces, to make me laugh, to make my happy
I like your way of consoling me and telling me you need not worry, you need not fear, when I am near
I like the way you look at me, making me feel complete
I like the way you say I Love You...and I believe there's no one as true as you
I like you in totality as you are the precious gift of  god to me

O God! I'm ashamed to call myself a Hindu Brahmin. It is only today I have realised that my hindi vocabulary is very poor. Those words that I used to use while I was in school seem to have erased completely from my dictionary. Today, when I sit and think about those days, I feel that those were the days when I was actually more sound, full of knowledge and even inquisitive to learn. There was a thirst for learning in me.  I am really shocked. All these years, why didn't I feel the need to update my vocabulary? Was it laziness that has kept me away from my own mother tongue? Or was it importance of English language a barrier? Well if the later is the case, I must say, there is a tremendous scope of improvement when it comes to writing something in English. I would not feel reluctant to confess that I am not even good with English too. Yes, I speak relatively good English, but Hindi, I have completely lost touch with my own language. 


Why have we started giving importance to English? English, the foreign language has taken its toll on minds of Indian youths. There are several institutes established across the nation that imparts English language training. I haven't yet come across any institute that teaches Hindi. Have you? Look at me. I am talking about the English language in English!!!! Its a pity. We can never change. We can talk. Yes we are good at talking. We are good preachers, including myself, but when it comes to practicing, we are the biggest losers. Even I am one.

Fir ek baar

Fir ek baar dil ko sambhala hai, fir ek baar dil kisi pe aaya hai,
fir ek baar kisi ki chahat hui hai, fir ek baar is dil pe kisi ki aahat hui hai,
Is baar itna karam karna mujh par ae mere maula,
Chahe mita dena mujhe, par na mere yaar se judaa karna mujhe,
Maut bhi vo suhaani hogi, jo mere yaar ki baahon me aani hogi,
Fir ek baar dohrayi jaegi, ye ek aisi amar kahani hogi....

English is a Funny Language

Ek bandar ne kholi dukan, 

ek bandar ne kholi dukan

aaye grahak bhi kaise mahan, 

dekho inki anokhi hi shaan...shaan...shaan...

You might be wondering that the title of the post does not go along with the beginning of it. Yes. It does not. Actually it does not have to. This is one of the favourite poems of my niece, who is just 1.5 years. While singing this poem to her today, I was trying to teach her what bandar is called in english. Yes, she is a quick learner. I taught her that it is called monkey, and in another second, I was somersaulting. Why? The thought flashed into my brains eye. There's hardly any difference in the spelling of 'monkey' and 'donkey'. The only difference is that of the initial letter. But 'monkey' is called 'mannkee' whereas 'donkey' is pronounced as 'daunkee'. Now just imagine if we have to teach a child both the pronunciation and the spelling, how will we start. If we teach 'monkey' first then 'donkey' becomes 'dunki', and if teach 'donkey' first then 'monkey' becomes 'mongkee'. Isn't it funny? Just as 'Do' is 'duu', so why is 'Go' not 'gu'. 

Beauty Tips !!!

kakdi ka ras muh par lagana...uske palite kaat kar aankh par rakhna....aur haan kakdi ke ras me thoda sa nimbu ka ras aur gulab jal mila lena...fir dekh kya raunak aati hai chehre par. Aur ab se roz multani mitti ka lep lagana shuru kar de, har dusre-teesre din lagana...baalon me roz malish kiya kar...haan nariyal tel ki aur kisi ki nahi, baalon ko roz shampu karna band kar de...jab bhi baal dhoye aamla, aritha se dhona...aur ek glass kesar vala dudh bina shuru kar de..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are home-made beauty tips. It's understood. I shouldn't have said. Well I have started my post with beauty tips for the simple reason that I'll be flooded with these tips from my family along the year and I would want you to read them and apply if you feel like, because I am lazy bone, and for me these tips are nowhere in my priority list. So I'll be sharing with you whenever I get one, atleast it might be useful for you ;)

All love of the world is fake. Only love that stands the test of the time is truest and purest. Love that stands besides you even in the most dire situations is genuine. Love that understands your unspoken words, hidden desires, your inhibitions, is veritable. But where can one find this sort of Love. Until few years there was no market to buy love. but today you can buy it. Yes, you read it correct you can buy love. There's a huge supply of it. With increase in demand the supply is also increasing in leaps and bounds. All that you need to buy (let me be more refined, to get loved) is beautiful, attractive, sleek and sexy body ( this is for females, who crave for love), you need to know how and when to expose what part of our body to gain attention of your counterparts, you need to be modern in truest sense of the word, which means you have to be ready to go all the way to fulfill all the desires of your man, before getting into any concrete relationship, you need to be ever ready to meet him, anytime anywhere (because men do not like to listen to NO!), you are required to lock up your brains and talk only what he wants you to, what he pleases to hear from you. These are just a few criterion. Even after applying these, there's no guarantee that you will   get the love that you had desired or deserve.

Let me be unbiased. Even males have to have certain qualities and things to get love of their life. They must have  physique like that of Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan, must have wealth like Ambanis and Mallayas, must have intelligence like Bill Gates and Abdul Kalam, must be romantic like Emraan Hashmi and Saif Ali Khan..etc, etc, etc..

So the next time when you are out in the market to find love, try to keep aside your real self and adjust yourself to the aforementioned criterion. This will help you in finding love quickly and in relatively less time. How true it will be, there's no guarantee. Well, there's no fun in having something that sustains for long as then the chances of trying new becomes less!!! And if you are the one who consider variety is the spice of life, go ahead and follow the today's trend and make your life spicy. Enjoy !!!

Forgotten Snack!!!

I was amazed to see long forbidden (hehehe) snack, after ages. My mouth started watering at the sight of chorafari today. The sight of it reminded me of the days when we used eat this item a lot. It used to be one of our favourites. We used to collect Rs.5 from members of our group and then two members of the group use to go for buying the same. I distinctly remember that we used to say to the hawker - Bhaiya jara masala aur daalna...aree ache se daalo na, kanjusi kyun karte ho. Chutney jyada dena..bhaiya.

Today I became nostalgic, when one of our madams at the college placed large quantity of chorafari and bowl of chutney on the table. Initially I tried to resist the temptation, but then I succumbed to it and gulped 5-6 pieces of it. Ah! I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to relish it again soon.

PROCRASTINATION

How important it is to resolve misunderstanding that creeps between two close friends, two close acquaintances, between family members??? It's very important to resolve the conflict and start afresh without carrying any grudges. What if we are ready for the resolution but the other person is not??? I mean what if the other person is adamant and is not willing to step forward and say - "chalo, beet gayi so baat gayi", "let bygones be bygones". What should one do under such circumstances? To top it all, what should one do if the root of the problem is a very trivial matter? All that has occurred between the two individuals is a dialogue on a topic, on which they share different views, does this situation call for absolute indifference and cold behaviour? Or is it a matter that has to be stretched so much as that each member of the family and even the outsider should know??? This is for the first time, when I am facing procrastination - To discuss or not to discuss. I believe in discussing and forgetting things. Discuss it once and for all and put a blanket over it. For I believe in living each moment of life. I believe in enjoying every minute. Why to waste time on things that are irrelevant? 

Now, why I am thinking of not discussing. The reason is very simple. The person who can take not so important topic seriously and can go on and on discussing it with everybody left, right, centre, can never ever have brains to understand the importance of discussing the matter and shutting it forever. Well still I want to break the ice and discuss. Waiting for the right time. I know time is never wrong to discuss the right thing, but in this case the temperament of the person matters a lot and hence, the time. 

Random Post

Gosh, I want to write hell lot of stuff but can somebody tell me how and from where should I start. Anyway today's begin first day of blogging after a long break, I would want to share that I have never been a constant writer. Means, I would take up writing, with intention to write regularly, but would never stick to it or can say it is difficult for me to write something afresh everyday. I used to feel I can write on everything possible, but that's not true. Every time I make up my mind to write and every time I end up writing stuff related to females and their problems, emotions and feelings. Please do not take me for a FEMINIST. Yes, I am touchy when it comes to fight for female harassment and eve-teasing, but I am not a hardcore feminist. Trust me.  Now with this blog, I would want to try my hand at writing on every possible things and also I would make it a point to write on something everyday.

Today, I had conducted a debate on the topic - Should boys know cooking, and trust me it was great fun to listen to my students arguing, especially boys. The group against the topic comprised of boys, who actually knew cooking and the ones in favour of the topic were those who did not know even the C of the cooking. But they knew how important it is to know cooking as they all reside in PG and often face food problem. Yes, guys should know cooking, if not varieties, basic food items such as dal, chawal, roti and sabzi. Just as girls today are not dependent on guys for anything (except one!, even guys have to learn the same. I am happy to see males of my family helping their female counterparts in kitchen. Put aside your ego and enjoy cooking delicacies, guys! This will spice up your life and will bring sensuous flavour in your life, besides tickling your taste buds and making you, the most desirable man!!!!
