The Pursuit Of Dreams

In a country like India, marriage is a necessity than someone's personal choice! Like, how you would need a car for your day to day need, which is not considered to be a luxury but a necessity, similarly, marriage in my country is a necessity and not essentially luxury given to anyone to choose or not to choose whether to get married! Having said that it seems that every child, as soon as he/she is born and breathes the first polluted air of this universe, in my country, specially two things gets automated by the birth. 1) What is he/she is going to become when they grow up and 2) course it's marriage plans lurking inside the brains of the parents!  This is my story, I have had experienced all the pressure points of my body, when my parents have continued to force me to get married and settle down. Apparently nothing other than marriage means settling down with my family it seems! I guess most of you who are reading this would agree with me on this. I have had my fair sha...

Life has it's own twists and turns. More of twists than the right turns we make. I am one classic example of gods good humor! So, why do I say that? Well, having working for more than 3 years with an organization, I suddenly realize that I am unable to cope up with the bullshit one throws at me and hence I suddenly make a decision to change my job, or rather quit my job without taking another job in hand. Big mistake! But, one only learns from the stupidest mistakes he makes in his life isn't it?  It felt like a good thing for me to change the job and also leave the current city I was in as at that time I felt that there was nothing left for me in this city! Again, why do I say that? As I said we tend to make the stupidest mistakes and learn from it! The city had nothing to do with my frustrations and disappointments. I was unnecessarily blaming the city for my own faults. It was my decision and my mistake to blame it on the beautiful city I lived in. Having said that, I anyway...

Life as we all know it, keeps giving us harsh twists and realities that we are not ready to face! I fail to understand how life can always be so ready to pull us down. I guess it keeps forgetting, that we are not god and we really are not ready to face everything and still stand tall at all times.  Love, for example, is the sweet poison of life. You cant really live without it, and sometimes you really have nothing else but to be at the mercy of it. Humans, are after all, social animals, and they are always dependent on some or the other kind of togetherness and social beings. We are just not made to be alone, no matter how strong we think we are and no matter how much strong we want us to believe we are. But, does, the person you want to be with or love, necessarily become yours, always? I guess not. So Bam! The harsh reality hits you again! We fall in love, without really doing all the necessary checks, and like life, it does not come with instruction manuals. So half w...

Writers block. Isnt that suppose to be a temporary phase? While I suffer from temporary insanity of my spotless mind, i happen to feel that the eternal sunshine should shine as bright as it should be. I am now in the phase where my mind is overwhelmed with the facts of work, too many changes around me, an uncalled for fear, sometimes a feeling that grips my mind which is as scary as death. I feel am suddenly drained out of all the energy to feel the vibes and animosities that should have happened to me all the time. I know that writers block is a common phenomenon amongst us writers and bloggers, however I can't really figure out why am "I" suffering from it currently. I mean I don't have any brain damage out of some psychotic episode that would have happened in the past or in the present lately. Nevertheless I am suffering from it and that has caused all the delays of delivering some reading pieces for my readers and to an extent to myself as well. I somehow believe...

Once upon a time, love happened. Love happened to all of us. Almost all of us have been through this beautiful, absolute perfect feeling that God can bestow upon us. Love, probably has happened right from a tender age, has happened on the way leading life, or even when life was at the verge of ending its journey. Obviously depending on the various stages and circumstances life threw upon us. The point is, this love bee at one point of time has stung us all in our lives. It actually gives you the best of candid emotions your heart can toy with. It gives you the ride, the time of your life, brings out the best in you, and worst too. Love makes you feel good about almost everything around you, even if it's as common as your daily routine. It just gives you a feel that you just got your dearest of wishes come true, and even an atheist starts believing in god. As they say, with every good time, comes bad time. It's about phases of our life, like a good phase, like ...

It was anticipated for over a year now, or may be more than a year! No one knew, when and what will happen. Days passed, and along with it, passed time. Suddenly, amongst the midst of all anticipation that could have already sweated out the agony of waiting, all of a sudden there's a ray of hope! It's going to be "12th September". Now, as if there are no other days in the calendar before or after 12th of September, people, well most of them who are tech enthusiasts or sheer lovers of design and functionality, anxiously started counting days for 12th of September.  Are you wondering what am I talking about? Well, most of you must have got it, given the popularity of it, and for those of you who haven't yet, am talking about the APPLE EVENT. Am talking about the launch of iPhone 5 and other Apple products along with it. Reporters, Media enthusiasts, Gadget guru's, Grown men and women who couldn't have acted in a better way than ...

Smile, laughter, joy, and happiness. Aren't these beautiful words, beautiful feelings, and beautiful adjectives? We all want these blessings in our life, we all continuously wish for these to be present in us and like a guardian angel watch over us. I have always observed that these beautiful qualities have the capability to exist in all of us and we all have our different ways of expressing it. One thing that I have always thought of is the story behind these qualities we portray. The story behind those glittering smiles, how true those beautiful smiles on our faces, really are. How people are able to smile their way to glory, yet have loads of tear erupting inside them. This is a tough journey to figure out really. I mean how often do you see someone smiling in your circle, you would say most of the times, depending on the kind of people they are and there behavioral nature as well. Main thing is, how often do we really see the eyes of that person...
