Row your Boat

Staring at the blank page
still fingers on the key board
words trapped in a mind cage
This time she won't be restored

Hold back hold back
let it rest within the rucksack
once you wear it on your sleeve
gets impossible to retrieve

Just keep rowing your boat
Gently down the stream

Life is how you float
It is better than a dream..

Picture perfect

Little did she know
Of What was going to Follow
Little would she Ponder
trying to be Hollow

A time machine to return
To the sailing moments
How so fast they just run
leaving behind the memory scent.

None of them would have tried
Them things and labels, all denied
They never agreed to a motion
Pick up silly fights in tiny proportions
Maybe to set aside the thinking machine
or Maybe to hide that ghost of emotion

So they wish this past could be a future.
A time well spent, perfect like a picture.

Snap.

The Bride Series..

This is going to be about the girls who are since birth fed with the perception that they are here to get married and have babies.

Just to make this concept interesting, a dramatic series of events is premised which has become a phenomenon called the WEDDING.

Graduation Over, what next. Either you have a boyfriend or you will be "arranged with somebody's ex boy friend eventually.

If They are 'meant to be' they will be 'in a relationship' with "him/her"  for a staggeringly amount of time and it HAS to be made public on all social networking portals.

Other wise its not true love!     know what i mean. :|

Then after swamping their feelings on the internet with posts, pictures, hang outs, events, dedications etc  the much awaited day arrives when you are bound to get 100 plus likes and comments.

"Engaged to"  and then albums containing pictures of ceremony, families, kids, girlfriends, flowers gifts..

two months later we finally have a guaranteed 400 plus liker

" Married to"   " Him" on this day of  " wedding date" at " very expensive luxury resort"

Wedding albums may have a part 1 and part 2.  So many close ups and attires to cover!!

This would include Mehendi, Haldi, pre-bridal, Bridal shower, Faldaan, tilak, barat, kanyadaan, wedding games, the Feast, Reception, decoration Vidaai and WHAT Not !!

Make that 5 Albums please.      

E N O U G H     ...  ??   not yet.   The best part is now about to steal the show.

Honey Moon !  The PDA sets a new high as they are now officially approved by the society.

Depending on the sponsorship of the Honey Moon, a destination is chosen.
Here you can see some "interesting pictures"  (wicked smile)

When the Honey moon sets we are now relieved to have our home pages back.

I sincerely did not miss any part of not having attended any girl friend's wedding.

But gone are the times when all these events were rather exclusive than being so explicit.

The Hahaha Therapy

It is said that the act of smiling has the power to subtly alter one's brain chemistry. Feelings of happiness have an even greater impact on the brain chemistry. The trick is to change your negative body language (frowning, slumping, clenching of the jaw, shoulders up to the ears) and replace it with positive, empowering, joyful actions. Simple things like acting silly, laughing, reciting affirmations and doing a few jumping jacks can change your state immediately. When you put a smile on your face, all of the muscles on your face respond. Your eyes brighten, facial muscles loosen and the brow becomes smooth and relaxed. Even your thoughts may change. The goal is to break your current, negative state by disrupting it with something that will "shock" your internal chemist into action. Here are a few things I suggest you try to jump-start your productivity by adding some positivity. I'm willing to try anything -

1. Smile at strangers. Step away from your stressful environment for a 20-minute walk. Smile at the people you meet along the way. You will more than make up for the time with your increased productivity levels when you return.
2. Bust a move. Put on some great dance music and have a little 5-minute party! That's right, just dance. You don't even need a partner!
3. Fire up the YouTube. Find a favorite funny video on YouTube and take a laughter break. Cute cat videos have been shown to help as well. (Not kidding.)
4. Talk to yourself. This sounds nuts, but take a cue from old-school motivational speakers and books: Pace around the room reciting empowering affirmations in a positive, confident tone of voice and great posture.
5. Belt it out. Sing to your animals or children--just be silly and let them in on the fun!
6. Get physical. Do a series of jumping jacks with a big smile on your face. (Bonus: 100 jumping jacks is said to burn 100 calories. Have a snack!)
7. Dial a friend. Pick up the phone and cheer up someone's day with an "I love you!"
8. Hoot and holler. Just let out a simple "woo-hoo!" and think about a goal or future event that really charges you up.
9. Do a Julie Andrews. Think of one or two things that you are deeply grateful for and allow the thoughts to bring a smile of gratitude to your face. (You should think of a few of your favorite things several times a day anyway!)

Nostalgic Move...

I am excited about the move in .
It will be a first move since we came to Delhi.
But I am really nervous too.

So many what ifs keep me awake. like a never ending drum roll.

The thoughts would keep tumbling in the head until the day arrived when we Shifted to the new place.

It was hassle free and everything went on smoothly. It had to, because dad was there throughout to help us.

Its amazing how having parents with you can make anything so simple and easy. What seemed like moving a mountain eventually was just like watching butter melt on a toast.

I still remember when I was little and times when mom went sick and it got me a bit worried as i am so dependent on her. But in those situations, Dad would manage everything apart from taking care of mom.

He would wake us up, get us dressed for school, make his special, salted crispy parathas and cup full of very light tea which shall be refilled ! Yummy..!  :)

 The only concern was to do the braids.  But i miss those times, especially after years when you realize that Mom Dad never change... we kids do.

A walk from MG road metro station...

  After taking the exit and carefully placing back the "smart"card in side pocket, I took out the phone and started to dial J H D S U OLG P -clear- inbox- scroll down-up - back recent calls- back- lock - unlock keyword.........

Honestly, This junk gesture is just to look busy while climbing down the stairs from the metro station. usually the route undertaken if otherwise not busy talking to maa..... about "How unamazing the day was"

And also to avoid the Call outs and noises like "Haan Medam Auto" or to express a denial for not taking the rickshaw (No matter how loudly they 'beat-beat' the seat).

MG road metro station is one of the most crowded spots in Gurgaon. At 7 in the eve the metro station is pouring people. People ! they all are rushing, speeding, probably because they are getting late or they all Got Up late! There is noise everywhere.... noise of traffic, street vendors.... and amidst these chaotic nothingness there are voices.

These are very brief and short-lived sounds that you can hear while taking a walk and crossing these people
when they talk. This is where it gets weird. On an average weekday I pass by 2-3 people within 5 steps of walking and of what i catch from their utterance of 3-4 second span is astonishing.

They all were either complaining, shouting or arguing. A young guy in a white shirt and some faded tie is still trying to convince the angry client.... while two men in mid 40s are debating upon their tax saving schemes..  five steps ahead we have 'nother accounts species with 'begging for rest' shoulders who is probably sorting about the Income Tax notice served to his company. Ah... Hate accountancy and Tax :\

Thank Goodness... for a change this couple comes out of the mall and the lady holds a dozen of shopping bags, angrily eying her Busy on call Hubby. I think i heard her say "you don't care about me anymore"
Not sure though.

Moving on, Ohh... I see Orange Candy!!!  But no... mission is to stay off sugar.......

Moving right on... The main road is jam packed.. even the service lane! hmm.. Side walks never seemed so lovely! The feeling of being a proud pedestrian :)

The smug  is about to go smudge as we are getting close to wine Shop..   * A moment of silence

Yes we are walking past it.. Get ready for lewd eyeballs. Let's just.. J H D S U OLG P in the phone again.

Fuck! A RED Swift just spared me by inches.... :P (mean look)    ........... phew... i shall live again.

But this is any day better than your shoe being victimized by a spit-shot  :\  ( eww)

Should have taken the Rickshaw after all....

Sometimes, if I ignore the fact that people speak, it is such a peaceful world.

Getting close to Home, crossing the temple, should I or should I not... No Last Time I did it was a terrible day, so  I won't. Maybe I'll Just look.  ( and blink like I didn't even do That )

Relationship with God hasn't been so smooth lately. .... we are on and off.

Ah.. Bananas looking Good. A dozen for 40. Its fixed. I Like. No Bargaining.

Seriously, This is the worst post ever.

I mean typing unprocessed thoughts equals Mother of Lameness!

I"m Home> Bye.
