Happy Women's Day!!!
I received an e-mail sometime back and thought of sharing it with everyone. This is for all the phenomenal women I know.
In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday.
She is an American poet, actress and an important figure in the American Civil Rights Movement. Angelou recited her poem, "On the Pulse of Morning" at President Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993.
She spoke about her life and what she had learnt in so many years. And, this is what she had to say:
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."
"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."
"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."
"I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life."
"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."
"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."
"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."
"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."
"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."
"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

The distance between us seems to be increasing every moment. Everything is slipping away slowly and this time around I don't even know what to do. When did we get to this? And, how did we?

Can we friends???
I somehow manage to end up in such awkward situations that I don’t even know how to react to them half of the times. It has happened more than once now that random people walked up to me or rather us and have said the utmost embarrassing things in the most inappropriate way. And what in the world is wrong with everyone’s language?? Its understood (one can pretend to have ignored it) if it’s an SMS but not when you are talking to someone. And, its even more disappointing when cute guys do that.

Realizing this purpose through ground breaking experiential events and media that model what is already working and what is possible and reveal the all important "How" that is necessary to effect real and lasting transformation.

Situation 1: Eye-candy spotted...
A: Have you seen him yet?
B: Whom?
A: The guy who came the other day, he is here again.
B: Is he? Really?
Situation 2: Making it obvious...
A: (Following him to the cafeteria) Oh man! He's hot!
B: (The guy smiles, absolutely aware of what was happening and loving all the attention).
A: (Very loud on purpose) That guy is sooo hot...
B: (Grinning) (The guy taking a candy-floss suddenly turns around to look at A.)
Their eyes meet and A is awestruck by his simplicity and the attitude he portrays.
Situation 3: Plan to ask him for a dance...
A: Ask him for a dance or else I would.
B: (Smiling) Are you sure? What do I say?
A: “Dude! I thought since don't have the guts, I should...?”
B: Hehe...
Situation 4: Looking for him...
A: Where is he right now?
B: I think he just left. I saw him going out with his bag.

Not for me!!!
Meeting new people in the past few days has meant coming across more and more complex species. When I say that, I mean they don't qualify as normal human-beings. They are people who amaze you, amuse you, irritate you (they do!); surprise you in anyway other than the usual. In fact, it becomes difficult when people who have been around for a while and you think you have known them enough; behave in the most unexpected manner leaving you totally taken back. It seems one can never know a person completely. Yes, there are different sides to a person and with time; one tends to know the person better. But, then there is always something that you don’t know. So, how long does it take to know? More importantly, when do you know that now you know? What helps you to decide? Is it the admiration for one another, the trust, the comfort level one share’s or when you simply accept the other person or is it a combination of all these.
How complicated can people be after all and why do they need to be? What are they trying to get away from or from whom? After all, life’s much simpler without pretence and faking things. After being with people who have all sorts issues in life (though, I am very fortunate to also have some people who are very balanced and are wonderful), this is something I have been thinking about for a long time.
*I am happy for being able to write a post long enough.

This one's for you...
I have been wanting to do this for a very long time but some how could not, I was tagged by this friend of mine (please accept my sincere apologies) months ago. Before I get down to do what I am supposed to, I would want her to know how important our friendship is to me. I still remember the first time we met and then its today, its only got better by the day. Thanks for everything, it means a lot. I was told to write things about myself that started with the letter "L", so here goes:-
Liberal: I respect others opinions or behaviour about everything.
Laid-back: I am normally unperturbed by the usual. I don't sweat the small stuff.
Latitudinarian: I am liberal in religious views.
Long-suffering: I am usually fairly patient but off lately my tolerance level has lowered.
Love traveling: Sorry about this one, i know its cheating.

Delhi is not even half as good during the day as it is in the night especially in winters, the biting cold, the hazy view and the long, straight, empty roads...

Kabhi- kabhi...
Kabhi- kabhi mere dil main khayaal aata hai
Ki jindagi teri zulfoon ki naram chaao main guzarne pati toh shaayad aap ho bhi sakti thi…
Yeh run jo gham ki sayahi jo dil pe chayi hain
Teri nazar ki shoowaao main kho bhi sakti thi
Magar yeh ho na saka…
Magar yeh ho na saka
Aur ab yeh aalam hai
Ki tu nahi tera gham teri justajoo bhi nahi
Guzar rahi hai kuch is tarah jindagi jaise
Isse kisi ke sahaare ki aarzoo hai…
Na koi raah, na manzil, na roshini ka surakh
Bhatak rahi hain andheron main jindagi meri
Inhi andheron main reh jaaonga kabhi khokar
Main janta hoon meri hum nafaz
Magar yu hi
Kabhi- kabhi mere dil main khayaal aata hain...
Ki jindagi teri zulfoon ki naram chaao main guzarne pati toh shaayad aap ho bhi sakti thi…

Why???
There is nothing constant in this world, no emotion, no situation nothing at all, life has its own twists and turns, one should be ready to face the challenges, all that agreed. Though I am aware of the fact I still wonder why people change.
They change especially when you need them the most, people you least expect it from, people who mean so much to you. Its very strange, for you have known that person for long enough for him/her to understand you and what you did in a given situation. All you want is the person to comprehend what you did, is that too much to ask for?
Is it wrong to be emotionally dependent on someone? I mean we all need someone, a friend or whom so ever but that one person. One should not expect anything from anyone-that is true but sometimes it is the sheer thought, that there is a person who will understand you come what may, that pulls you through everything.
It can be quite disturbing to know that you are not important to that person while that person is to you.

“We depart to meet and meet to depart”
He meant the world to her, for him she could do anything and to know that she would wake up one morning and not find him next to her shook her completely. Suddenly all those years spent together and the moments shared seemed meaningless to her, for that person who meant everything would not be around anymore. She could not accept that anything could happen to him. But what was most difficult for her was to see him in pain and not be able to do anything.
She saw him in excruciating pain each day and wished he would get some respite. As the feeling of helplessness became stronger, the realization of losing him sunk in. This is what brought her back to life again.
