On Valentine's day..


In the run up to the most awaited 'Day' in February, the radio and social media was filled with promos regarding how to 'celebrate' the day of love.. It would make me gag when I heard/read stuff like 'Come, let's celebrate the month/week of LOVE'.. Jeez!!

I'm not exactly the 'romantic' types.. Don't get me wrong.. I do care about the people in my life.. Just that I don't need a 'day' to tell them that I love them.. They're supposed to see it in the things I do for them.. And my memories of Valentine's day are limited to checking out what colored clothes classmates/college mates were dressed in on that day.. Because apparently each colour signified a meaning.. So while I would stick to 'safe' colours like yellow or white, I wouldn't waste an opportunity to bug an unsuspecting classmate who was dressed in red or pink signifying they're in a relationship or interested to be in one.. Talk about cheap thrills! (heh heh heh)

So today when I found my fb wall and WhatsApp filled with Valentine day messages I was very tempted to put up a sarcastic message.. I resisted the urge because I didn't want people to think it was case of sour grapes.. So while I don't get the significance of today, I'll still flow with the tide and take this opportunity to wish all the people in my life a very happy Valentine's day.. You are loved and valued a lot.. May you be blessed with all the love and happiness that you bring to me..

For all the single ladies out there and also the bachelors and to all those people who don't believe in Valentine's day for reasons best known to them and also to those who're feeling lonely, take this test.. If you get even a handful of people who say 'yes', should you ask them the following question it IS definitely a Happy Valentine's day.. "If I showed you my flaws, if I couldn't be strong.. Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?"

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

RAAZ PICHLE JANAM KA

A popular channel is telecasting a prog wherein a person is helped, to find out the reason for his/her problems by going into his/her past life through hypnosis. i was told about the concept of the programme by a colleague. even though i hadnt watched the programme just the description of the programme sent shivers down my spine.. although when i actually watched the programme i was bitterly disappointed. the programme was exactly how she described.. the person being taken back into his past to try and locate that particular instant in his life that left a lasting impact on the person.. The plot till here is ok.. but i just dont seem to understand how an incident can have a lasting impact so deep that it penetrates through the future births of the person too.. a little over the top i should say.. The concept of re birth has been debated over the years.. a lot of research too has gone into this field.. and a whole lot of people can vouch for the fact that sucha thing does exist.. i resp...
