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.
