Dear unknown girl on the train..


As I watch the tears streaming down your face and your failed attempt at trying to wipe your tears and assuming people around haven't noticed that you've been crying, I'm taken back to all those times when I've been so upset and have cried unabashedly without bothering about what the people around will think or say.. Today when I watch you cry I want to reach out to you and comfort you and tell you that it's all gonna be alright.. However, we're conditioned to 'ignore' such situations.. More importantly, tears and sad situations scare us.. We're a fickle race and just want to be around people for the fun times.. Tears and depression and all those negative feelings are to be dealt with alone.. And of course we don't venture into strangers' personal lives.. So I just watch you cry your heart out.. But I hope that wherever you are, you realise that your tears are as valuable as you.. So when you decide to shed them for someone make sure the person or the situation is worth it..

A long time ago a well wisher told me something I still haven't been implement in my life.. But Dear unknown girl, I sincerely hope both you and I are able to practice this sometime in the future.. Our feelings are a precious commodity and should be used sparingly.. This well wisher told me that feelings should be shared with selective people.. Even an emotion like anger is to be used sparingly and for a select few.. When people realise that you're selective in your display of feelings, they'll automatically respect you..

So my dear unknown girl, shed your tears sparingly.. Keep your feelings close to your heart and share them only with those select few.. And for all the others who hurt you, in the words of Selena Gomez "Kill 'em with kindness"..

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...
