NEW LIFE OF MOM

- Ben Okri. Live slowly, think slowly, for time is a mystery. Never forget that love Requires that you be The greatest person you are capable of being, Self-generating and strong and gentle- Your own hero and star. Love demands the best in us To always and in time overcome the worst And lowest in our souls. Love the world wisely. It is love alone that is the greatest weapon And the deepest and hardest secret. So fear not, my friend. The darkness is gentler than you think. Be grateful for the manifold Dreams of creation And the many ways of unnumbered peoples. Be grateful for life as you live it. And may a wonderful light Always guide you on the unfolding road. One of the sweetest lines, I have read... Really loved the meaning of each and every single line. Its really beautifully written by Ben.

"You may not be married to a person, but you are sometimes 'more married' than a marriage can ever provide. It is with one person that you lead a life, raise kids, and build a family, but it is in the arms of your soul-mate that you want to breathe your last..." Sometimes such thoughts makes you feel more attracted to your partners and your loved ones. Isn't it?? You fell in love all over again with the same man.. Same happened to me today, from last couple of months I decided completely to give away my writing, specially poems due to someone, It had been very difficult to restrain myself from writing, I used to write memos in my phone and then deleted them. Today, all of a sudden I just realized that this is one of worst decision, if someone doesn't like what do I do, doesn't mean I'll stop doing that, specially when I know is not wrong and doesn't harm anyone, but does good to me only. If they cannot appreciate or notice what I do and don

Their little gestures, Can give a big smile. Their little toothless smiles, Can shed tiredness of the day. Their one tiny teardrops, Can stop heartbeat for a second. Their little presence, Can light up the whole life. They are the newest members to our family, They are the best gift given to us by you, I wish you and them the best of everything, May you get all the happiness in life. Happy one month old birthday to my doodles and warm wishes to my sweetest sister for stepping into motherhood. Raaawwwrrrrrr

Last night I had a dream about a dream about you, Now every time I see a dream is about you.. You were gazing into my eyes with love, I longed for a hug and you to say those 3 magical words.. Last night I had a dream about a dream about you.. As I came closer, Suddenly everything disappeared.. In a while it all looked like a mirage.. I wanted to hold that moment forever but that moment ran so quickly.. I cried and cried to call you back, but realized the only one who could hear me was my own heart.. Last night I had a dream about a dream about you.. As I sat with my head down close to my heart in the dark room, I saw a ray of light coming from a hole in the wall.. Was it a message of God? I quickly tickled my brain.. I held myself up and opened the door.. Saw you standing right outside the door with arms wide open and a smile to hold.. Last night I had a dream about a dream about you.. Image Courtesy- Google Images

This post is a part of the weekend blogging contest at BlogAdda.com in association with 18again.com Its been a long time, I am reading about someone taking initiative to create awareness on this sensitive issue. When I was in VIII Std. all girls of our class were taken to AV room to watch a small video related to how a girl should take care of different changes happening in their bodies with age. We were also motivated to talk about this with our mother or anyone whom we are close with and boys in our class used to get curious, why only girls are taken to AV rooms, and as per instructions given to us, if anyone asks, what we did in AV room, we had to say, we saw a movie because girls behaved good, so they were shown movie. It really helped personally to me to understand the changes. I think that was a very good initiative taken by our school and I am glad to know that they still follow this, so that a girl feels comfortable sharing such things. But I know this just happens in very

I am so touched by a email I read, it was forwarded to me by a cousin of mine, it is something which we should all follow, I wish I read it before 3 years, my life would have been so different. I wish to share with all, so that all the mistakes that I have done, others don't do. August 12, 2012 Bangalore, India There is a connection between Emotion, Sound and Raga (melody). The last bhajan that was sung had the Jogiya Raga. You cannot associate this raga to Radha. If you say, ‘Shiva, Shiva’, it can be associated with the Raga of dispassion. Once somebody was invited to a marriage reception and was requested to sing. He started to sing (in Kannada), ’Why did you leave the body and go, dear soul? Is this death justified?’ Does this song suit the occasion? You cannot sing any song anywhere. The Emotion and Raga must match. The secret for women – you should never step on the ego of your man. The secret for men – A man should never step on the emotions of a woman. F

Looking at your picture and I'm filled with delight. But somewhere deep within my heart is filled with plight. Your eyes and smile say to me a thousand words: "Pari we'll soon be together to spend our lives, Just give me sometime and I'll be your and only yours forever" I know you love me and you know I love you too. But today, I want to make a special effort and show you how much you mean to me. There is some connection between us, there is some bond special which keeps me attracted towards you. Sweetheart, hold me, hold me closer because I want to be in your arms for a while and forget all the fears in my mind. I want your love for today and tomorrow I want to be with you till the end, till my last breath. Don't ever leave me alone because we're born to be together forever.

I can see nothing but a change in everything and everyone. Starting from myself, I can't even count the number of changes in me. My friends have changed a big time.. Don't know if its a positive change or negative but because of that also I have changed.. People are bound to change, I understand and I know I will only have to change myself and adapt according to that.. But I don't want to. Why can't things be static?? There is so much happening in the world but still it feels I'm stuck at the same.. I'm not growing.. My mind is not.. My mind is like my heart now.. They both have stopped contradicting, they agree on everything which is so strange.. I don't know why, but it is all happening. I sometimes get feeling to go on top of a hill, shout on top of my voice, and still no one can hear me and I can cry.. Cry howsoever badly I want to.. cry for as long as I can. and just cry and cry. Crying helps me feel so relieved. A friend of mine says, your eyes get

Writing journals or diary used to be a very popular part of everyone's life. As the internet speed is rocketing, so is diary writing slowing.. It's not people have stopped writing about their inner feelings or how their day went.. they have just changed the medium.. From diary it is now blogging. Blogging gives freedom to everyone to maintain a diary which is always open to the world. Blogging helps you to rant, blabber in front of the whole world. This is one medium which helps you to learn, read, write all those things which you want to say to someone and you can't directly say. This is one medium which helps you to try new things maybe in kitchen, maybe in your crafts store or garden. This is one medium which makes you more creative in writing. It gives you so many new ideas in all kinds of field. Recently, I read an article which talked about how writing can help you remain stress-free. Writing blog and interacting with thousands of new people with so different thoug

Perfect thing to make on a day you are super bored.. How about gifting it to maybe your partner or your mom or anyone?

Hair as said is one of the most sensitive issue in a girl's life. I also from always wanted to have long hair... Just like the princess Rapunzel, but my mom didn't let me keep in school times.. and i looked like this in my childhood... extreme left, in red looking at my mom.. I only used Clinic Plus Shampoo, coz those ads kept flaunting those long locks. And I soon knew that it's not true.. and now every time I look at the ad, i feel so bugged.. But with time, i kept changing my shampoo and conditioner... and my hair kept growing.. Then came Dove Intense Repair to my rescue, Thank God!!!! I just love it, my hair have become so much better now.. and that was the end of my hair problems! https://www.facebook.com/dove/app_127320750626819

Recently I read an article where the author had some views opposite to my mine. He felt that there is nothing to do in Jaipur. My dear friends, though I have been living in this city from last 22 years, but still I never felt that there is nothing to do in this city. Jaipur as a tourist destination is majestic. After reading his views I thought to make a plan for him and post, so that next time he come here and doesn't feel that there is nothing to do in our royal Pink city. One very important thing to keep in mind while you visit to Jaipur is PLEASE DON'T COUNT CALORIES, workout for 15 minutes more the next day. So the day starts a bit early, and our day will start with a typical Jaipur breakfast. Rawat ki Kachori, Dahi lassi, and Kesar ki Jalebi. It is indeed very heavy breakfast, but for a rip-roaring day, you need a great start. So after the exquisite breakfast we will head to Kanak Vrindavan, best time to visit this place is morning, with the fresh breeze and sun rise,

Manier times I keep thinking how would be my second life (Life after wedding) After watching few people around who are married, I made a list of 7 vows which I would like my better half and I to take for our rest of the lives. The 7 vows are: 1) Never sleep with a fight, If one is angry or upset then make sure the other resolves it. 2) Talk before you sleep, may be just for a minute, and in case you can't talk, do text or email or anything. 3) Very importantly, Be honest about everything. 4) Hug and kiss every day. 5) Accept the other person as they are. If you want to change something about them, talk to them about it and mutually discuss the way to change it. 6) Both will be allowed to have an extra-marital affair, but both should know about it. 7) Lastly, but the most importantly, Love, trust, commitments shall always be there.

My new blog Band Baja Baraat is all about celebration, wedding, birthday, anniversary, etc. Enjoy your precious day and make it a memorable one. Enjoy!!

I was super bored this evening, and was in a mood of playing and doing fun. I asked a friend to play something, but we live in different cities, so we decided to play while texting. He came up with a game. The name given by his was super stuipdly funny "Darao Darao" means "Scare each other" So the game was turn by turn we had to send each other anything which we want to say to them, it is not necessary that it should be truth, it can be your imagination, it can be something which you want to tell, but you can't say, it can be funny, it can be cheesy, it can be stupid, it can be anything. Use your mind or rather I would say just say anything which comes from your heart at that moment. I had super fun time playing this game. The main thing is you don't have to take anything seriously and don't judge the texts. Just enjoy it.. Its a great idea if you want to propose someone. Share your experience if you play it. P.S. Please suggest a name for this

This is my new time pass drawing.. :D

Mail sent by Narayan Murthy to all Infosys staff: It’s half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on… PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing… And who’s at work? Most of them ??? Take a closer look… All or most specimens are ?? Something male species of the human race… Look closer… again all or most of them are bachelors… And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!! Any guesses??? Let’s ask one of them… Here’s what he says… ‘What’s there 2 do after going home…Here we get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working late…Importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!’ This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other off-shore offices. Bachelors ‘Passing-Time’ during late hours in the office just bcoz they say they’ve nothing else to do… Now what r the consequences… ‘Working’ (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture. With bosses more than eager to provide support to thos

13 steps for a Perfect Make Up 1. Cleanse ur face well and use a toner if u have enlarged pores or oily skin . 2. Apply a moisturizer with an SPF for day makeup and a primer for an evening look.Use an eye cream around ur eye area .This will help the foundation glide easily n stay longer. 3.

Together Poem - Poetry of Life I Love poems..

On this festival of colors, lets see what the colors have to say to us.. I'll start with my favorite color Red.. Red is often associated with love, but actually red symbolizes passion, anger, threat, aggression. They are indeed opposite to love. But this is what it has to say. Everyone of us admire red roses, red juicy strawberries, red ruby stone jewelry, etc. etc. I love red from childhood, mainly because my house color in school was red.. After red, comes Purple.. Purple gives a sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is a color often well liked by very creative or eccentric types. It causes inspiration, sense of wealth, fills romance. It also stimulates intuition. It also offers a sense of spirituality. Now comes Green, color loved by my friend, because he loves environment.. The natural greens , from forest to lime, are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is considered the color of peace a

So, there we were after all the chaos happened in the planning.. we finally started our road trip from Jaipur to Ranthambore on December 17, 2011. Our Party gang included: Kritika Jain (Me) Srividya Dwivedi (Our NRI) Aastha Khanijo (Girl Friend) Ayush Mittal (Boy Friend) Dinesh Moolrajani (Guitarist 1) Aman Jain (Brother 1) Pranav Sethi (Brother 2) Shreyan Dwivedi (Party Boy) Rishabh Bhutra (The Delhi Boy) Vishal Hirawat (Rockstar) Ronny Pedersen (Foreigner- Norwegian) Per Øyvind Fosse- (Foreigner- Norwegian) Even though we planned our stay at a hotel in advance, but after reaching that place we all felt cheated. The pictures they had put on their website were nothing like the actual hotel. So, we left that place and started searching a new one. As we all had a limited budget, we had to limit ourselves also. So after all the run we decided to stay at Ankur Resort a pretty much decent place to stay and specially the rooms we got were just in front of a big lush garden. We got a bargain

What a sweet video Google posted.. Check I guess I am still in Love mood or I feel like I am a teenager again.. No actually, the reason is watching romantic movies again and again... Some of my most favorite romantic dialogues: "Hum Aapke Hain Kaun" Kaate Nahin Kat Te Lamhe Intezaar Ke, Nazaren Bichaein Baithe Hain Raste Pe Yaar Ke, Dil Ne Kaha Dekhe Jo Jalwe Husne Yaar Ke, Laya Hain Unhe Kaun Falak Se Utaar Ke... Kisi aur ke baare mein sonchne ki fursat kise hai? sirf aapse toh hum yeh gustaki kar sakte hain.. "A walk to remember"‎ "It's like the wind, I can't see it, but I can feel it. I feel wonder and beauty, joy, love. I mean it’s the center of everything." "I might kiss you." "I might be bad at it." "That's not possible." "You have to promise you won't fall in love with me." "The Notebook" ‎"I can be whatever you want. You just tell me what you want and I'll be that for you.&

Few days back I was at a local fair, which promotes women entrepreneurs. They had some amazing stuff. I couldn't stop myself from buying.. At last I had to go back because my wallet was empty, but I still managed to take their visiting cards to visit them later. Few wonderful things I managed to buy were earrings, a sandals, a bag, few stoles, 2 jackets, candles, show pieces. Posting few pictures. One amazing thing I found there was Sweet leaf, As per that lady, if a diabetic person eats that one leaf daily, his sugar levels are under control within few days. They also had a packet of dried leaves for putting in tea and coffee. And a powder which can be used in making sweets and desserts. Doesn't this feel like a boom for the diabetic people? But wait, Before believing in them, I went to meet a Ayurvedic Doctor. He has well known in not only my city but across the globe. I told him about the plant I saw there. He then explained me few things, which I wanted to share with everyo

This is me with Pratham Books again.. Recently I have joined Blogadda, and on the homepage I saw "blog about a NGO." and that very moment I started searching if they are featuring Pratham or Pratham books. After searching few pages I found Pratham books listed there and my smile grew wider. After working with Teach India, I started working with Pratham. My very first job just after my college. I have learnt so much from this organization. Infact on my very first entry I wrote on Pratham and my learning there. My first full time interaction with Pratham books was in Jaipur Literature Festival 2011. I handled the Pratham Books stall there. And I was so fascinated by those books. Whenever I was free at the festival I used to start reading the books. I used to gather small children from around and used to read out stories to them. I so wished to read such stories in my childhood. Now I make sure all kids in my house do read those books. I always gift those books to them on their

I believe in miracles and dreams that will come true. I believe in tender moments and friendship, through and through. I believe in stardust and moonbeams all a glow. I believe there's magic and more there than we know. I believe in reaching out and touching from the heart. I believe that if we touch a gift we can impart. I believe that if you cry your tears are not in vain. And when you're sad and lonely, others know your pain. I believe that when we laugh a sparkle starts to shine. And I just know that spark will spread from more hearts than just mine. I believe that hidden in the quiet of the night, there's magic moths and gypsies a fairy and a sprite. I believe that if you dance the dances of your heart, that greater happiness will find a brand new way to start. I believe the gifts you have are there for you to share And when you give them from the heart, the whole world knows you care. I believe that if you give, even just to one

I love my ma.. Who doesn't? This valentine week, I am celebrating with my sweet cute loving mom. Today on Rose Day, I gave a rose from my garden to her, and my Dad got jealous.. he then got a big bouquet and presented to her. I loved and enjoyed his jealousy. I am soo happy and feeling amazing. Tomorrow is my parent's 27th Wedding Anniversary. I wish them my best wishes and may they get lot of happiness in their life. And love between them keeps on growing.. Happy Anniversary to my most adorable couple. They love, they fight, they care, they share, they get envy and yet they can't live without each other. My dad keeps asking mom to go and live with her mom for 2 months, and if she does it then he'll get her choice of diamond set.. this he is saying from last 22 years and she got no diamond set for this.. I'm planning for making breakfast date for them tomorrow.. Abhinav gave me this idea.. I hope mom dad also likes it.. Love you soooo much.

As I stand alone walls on all sides On the hardness and trials I will stand tall as tall as I might, for all of my humble little life. Till the world tramples me, and I am no more, I will stand tall as tall as I might. Always reaching for the sun. Even though all around is brokenness and pain I'll lend my brief beauty and stand tall as tall as I might............!! Rohit C. D. Dewal

Time teaches me, To always dream. However it may never come true. But that's the best way, To live life through. Time teachs me. To dream so high, Never give up and always try, Never let go or say goodbye. Time teaches me. That when there is darkness, For sure dawn is the next, And when everything is so tiring, For sure there would be time to rest. Time teaches me. To always care for a friend, Always be true and never pretend, Always love with no end, And the broken hearts try to mend. Time teaches me. Never to feel the hate, Always be confident and never hesitate, Always believe in fate. Time teaches me. That lovers meet and stay together, And others are apart, So, if you are one who have been left behind, Don't cry and suffer, Just search for a new start. Time teaches me. The past I must forget, And nothing needs my regret. Time teaches me. To open my heart and forgive, Cause that will help me to survive and live. Time teaches me. To always offer my helping hand, And never do
