Social Media - Should it be a nightmare for Indian Government ?

2011-12-19T08:20:00.000-08:00

Decades ago social networking meant Gossips and discussion at Village choupals , Mela's and Fairs. People came together , discussed , gossiped and went away. All the consultations and planning were held there but now with the advent of modern technology and increasing awareness the mode of discussions have faced a drastic change.Initially it was difficult to bring your ideas amongst 200 people but now an average person has around 300 friends on its social networking website i.e Facebook and it is really interesting to know that to bring a simple idea among 300 of them just ...update your status and you will get all the approvals and disapproval within a span of 24 hours.

Nothing have changed in these years..only the way to communicate has changed.The barriers to express your opinions to large audience has reduced significantly.People now have a proper platform to express themselves , to raise their voice against anti social issues and to get themselves heard. They are just a click away from various social , economical and political discussions.They can discuss openly everything which signifies their Freedom which is their birth right.

Social networking is an e-platform where everyone has right to discuss and express their views.On this platform, if someone comes across something that is unproven or against facts , then they have the freedom to deny it or reject it by counter analysis.

Pity on our government who is in favor of restricting these world famous media.What could be a better platform to hear the voice of its own people? Rather I must say that India, the world's largest democracy ,should feel empowered with these public platforms.The Government should utilize this media to know the opinions of its very own public. It should focus more and more to run their campaigns , to know the public opinions on them and to do the necessary amendments desired by the public.

Every coin has two faces and same is with social media. But the strategy should be to focus on the positive points rather than empowering the negative points. Banning is not a solution to everything. Once the government can restrict the social media sites but "CAN THEY RESTRICT THE VOICE OF AN "AAM AADMI" ??

Marketing is creating Artificial Needs !!

2011-09-12T08:49:00.001-07:00

Marketing Sector is the strongest and most dynamic pillar of every company. As we know that the main aim of every company is to capture the market, whether it is a software company, a toy company, food chain, or a health care organization. These various organizations knows all the needs of the consumer whether stated need, real need, delight need or most vibrant amongst all; the secret need.

Gone are those days when people only demand for ‘Roti, Kapda and Maakan’ (food, clothes & shelter).

Now, they need ‘roti’ but will demand for ‘tandoori roti’ instead.

They need clothes but they will demand for the branded and fashionable ones.

They need shelter but their secret desire is to own a flat of some branded real estate organization like Omaxe etc.

Do you think that this transformation of thought is somewhere hidden from these rulers of the market??? No… Not at all! Rather these producers are trying their best to attract the general public by providing them lucrative offers and capturing their minds.

Consider the example of Lakme, the most dominating, skin care company made Katrina Kaif as its brand ambassador. She is always singing the saga of Lakme soaps and products in the T.V. commercials. And as usual the innocent consumers are driven towards the smooth, shiny skin and soft healthy hairs thus forgetting the fact that she is a celebrity and use hundreds of other beautification techniques and treatments rather than that Lakme soap only.

Let’s move to another example of frozen foods. We have noticed these readymade pasteurized frozen snacks dumped in those refrigerators of Big Bazaar or other retail outlets. We all find them too fresh and tasty on those T.V. commercials and long to buy them but later we realize that though these readymade foods saves our time, yet, it does not have that delicious taste as in the homemade food.

It’s all about the marketing of the various products that rules the minds as well as the pockets of the consumers. This marketing always smells the basic needs of the customer and transforms it to basic plus artificial needs. Marketing of a product is nowadays done in such a way that the consumers not only demand for the product which is a necessity for them, instead they are made to buy things which might not be their need but just for the sake that it appears to be.

Overall, if consumer needs drive them to the market and make producers to come out with something they need, then on the other hand these producers also come out with products and market them so well that consumers are moved to buy them. Hence, Marketing is creating Artificial Needs.

Celebrities and Brands

2011-09-12T08:41:00.000-07:00

Brands are about promises and trust. Consumers always trust a brand that has credibility. Now when a company chooses a brand endorser, they mostly consider a potential prospect, existing costumer or a celebrity. CELEBRITY??Yes, a celebrity is chosen to provide an inspirational value to a brand and in a country like India, Celebrities are God. People believe people who can be recognized easily. But the question here is, how relatable and believable the use of celebrity can be??

Imagine the movie ‘3 Idiots’ with high achieving professionals like Rohit Bal, Sanjeev Kapoor and Javed Habib. Would it be still the same for you? Would it have the same reach? We know that all the above three professionals are legends in their own field and may have done well for the brands they endorse. But when you have to reach a large cross section of mass India, that’s not so homogenous, who would you rather put your money in?

It always take a well known face to lift your scripts and give it a mass acceptance.India- loves new ideas but only when it comes with familiar face. A face which can woe her and make her feel close to her heart.

In the end it’s not so much about celebrities like film stars, cricketers or common man. It’s all about entertainment, learning and the role that brands play in our lives. If the brand connects with me, enlightens me and captures my mind, then that’s all it matters.

A SAIL THROUGH AN MBA MARKET

2010-07-17T01:15:00.000-07:00

MISUNDERSTANDINGS---Tsunami of the two hearts

2010-03-02T00:42:00.000-08:00

I remember our laughs and late night talks,

At least a hundred times we'd say goodnight.

Holding hands through Central Park walks,

Even when wrong, you were always right.

Beautiful dreams..lively conversations..charismatic laughters...popping ambitions and moments of trust and love.....These are amongst the few magical things which we expect in an intimate relationship.....relation of love...relation of hearts....It carries with it the most soothing and encroaching aspirations......we enjoy swinging on those high and low tides of love......That innocent trust and magnificent feelings never leave any space for anything else....

But!!!!!!!!!!!!!sometimes it do.....sometimes it tears the most applauded relationship....Everything is lost...every feeling...every touch of trust......What is this "something"??......Friends....It is nothing other than a "MISUNDERSTANDING"........Though it's just a word of 16 Alphabets.....yet it can ruin your life forever.....It can take away your beautiful moments of togetherness...It can ditch you to the bossom of grief....It can leave you completely shattered....

Love lasts so long and times without ending,

Now we both know hearts truly can change.

We must move on, little use in pretending,

Just know our memories I'll never exchange....

The real trouble lies in the fact that when you know that this misunderstanding will leave you all alone then why you ever try to leave a minute space in the warm blanket of your life....Why you let it enter inside your couch....Why??....Is your relation so weak that anything or anyone can ruin it??...or dont you trust your love??....Sometimes it happens that your beloved hurt you genuinely..sometimes he/she might do something which you cant accept....and it seems that everything should be over now ....You cant tolerate it..You want to cry...you want to flow in tears....You forget each and every precious moment spent together....and the most important thing You forget that you love him/her....

Still even now its unbearable to say goodbye

Can't let my heart know this is really the end.

I won't forget you beautiful wouldn't dare to try,

So for now my love, my heart, my friend.....

Mistakes do happen..but that doesnt means that you leave everything without uttering a single word.....Try to talk to them...Tell them that you got hurt...Let them know that you love them ...and you care for them..
Silence sometimes act like a medicine but sometimes it acts like a tsunami which can devastate the two hearts.......forever..

THOSE FEW MINUTES OF AN INTERVIEW

2010-02-26T12:01:00.000-08:00

Formal suits,classic tie knots,shining black shoes,glittering wrist watch accompanied by a broad smile on an enchanted face...Heyyy friends!!!!!!!...wait.....I am not describing any celebrity...neither i am trying to describe a business man....I am just describing a naughty careless boy who is bounded to change his attire....his looks...his gestures just for few hours....

I am wondering that how does a youngster feel when his funky clothes are exchanged with formal suits....His antique accessories are replaced by terrible tie and a wrist watch....His sports shoes are gone with those spiky socks.....Those drooling body tattoos hid inside the formal shirts....Those hairs with spikes are exiled and a very simple hair cut is bestowed upon the head...Hands,which always hold a bottle of cold drink, the keys of the bike or the latest gadget ,is now trying to support a heavy document file loaded with marksheets,certificates and degrees.....

Where are those cold drinks lost?? Where are those spiky hairs gone???Are those funky clothes lost?????....Nooo!!!!!!!! not at all....Rather they all are dumped down....they all are sacrificed for few hours...for that crucial time which can either make your life or spoil it......
With a complete formal look and whimsically holded certificate file...One can easily construe that the concerned person is going to spend few moments in silence....He is going to wonder how will be the interview...what types of questions will be there...How many members will be there in the panel....followed by a series of other questions.....
Once an interview is started.....Those staring pair of eyes are enough to make you sweat.....Those scrolling views of the curriculum vitae always make you swim in the sea of questions.....finding no ends or a narrow landing on an island.....With those smiling glances of the recruiter and sweating face of the candidate one can feel the pain of that screwed neck(by a tie) ...
That continuous questions answer round always make you up high on the heels......somewhere amidst of the business crowd....with both ends open......and waiting for you.....either the door leading to success...or the door leading to same old funky clothes and spiky hair cut......

WOMEN

2010-02-23T01:53:00.000-08:00

Michelle Obama-The first lady of United States...Hillary Clinton-One of the most powerful political figure...Sarojini Naidu-The freedom fighter...Madhubala-The Legendary Actress.... All these versatile world famous personalities are having one thing in common....That they all are women which are the most beautiful creation of god...Beautiful not only from outside but also at the core.....They are delicate yet powerful....emotional yet strong...

They have a multi facet personality....They can be the most prominent social figure...They can be the busy professionals yet these wonderful women carry the burden of whole family on their delicate shoulders without uttering a single word of tiredness...
Despite of various weird social tortures these soft ones are emerging as the most wonderful citizens of a country....They are there for you at every single moment of your need...She can be a daughter...a wife...a mother...or a friend......You can always trust her enough to give you the most delicious dish when you are hungry...most comforting hug when you feel like crying....most huggable person when you are on your heels....
Women are like a dapple plume...having vibrant colors with the delicacy of a feather...Their soft and gentle touch can help you recover from your worst times...
We can feel the pain when someone has to leave her father's home and settle at her husband's home...At that moment she has to leave her every thing which is dear to her...she has to manage herself confidentally so that she can be the rose of her husband's house.....she has to make new relations....adapt new culture.....Yet she is able to do it......A time comes when she has to give this world a new creation of god...The pain which she has to tolerate can be only felt by her...no one else can feel that....
Despite of her beautiful persona she is the most vulnerable child of god....70% of the women have to face those hazardous situations of physical as well as mental harrasments....they have to tackle those lusty eyes of unsocial men....They often fall as a prey for their greedy in laws....All the dreams which they have treasured for their new life are ruined when their greedy -in laws demand for ample dowry......

You know friends....Women should be the most respected part of the world.They are really adorable.They are the backbone of the society....No matter Men have the power to work efficiently but women are also on the same track...they are more powerful emotionally...Though their tears always lie on their beautiful eyelashes....Yet those tears protect their wonderful enchanting dreams floating in their eyes.....See their dreams...feel their dreams....

HAITI EARTHQUAKE-A CATASTROPHIC DEPRESSION

2010-02-21T07:37:00.000-08:00

Devastated villages....Crowded roadsides..Scary peoples and crying kids.......This was the scenario at the poorest country of the western hemisphere when it was hit tremendously by the sunken earthquake killing around 2,30000 people on the unauspicious 12th day of january.......Everywhere there was the smoke of tears..depression..loud scary voices..Tall buildings were collapsing like a melted ice cream....People were running here and there crying for help....

Haiti is already hobbled with poverty..natural calamities and politics.It is the poorest and one of the most densely populated country of the western hemisphere.....

On 12 january at about 4:43 pm haitians were busy with their daily routine work..it was a bright sunny day...everybody was involved in some or other work but to their surprise the world began to shake....Earth was trembling like a leaf.....and within 35 seconds everything was lost......earth seemed to be upside down....Nothing was left except cries..shouts...and devastated HAITI.......

It was only the matter of few seconds but the life of Haitians was changed completely forever.... There screwed life had now no ends.....Lakhs of people lost their lives and the survivors were totally shattered and restless....They were speechless....In the nights following the earthquake, many people in Haiti slept in the streets, on pavements, in their cars, or in makeshift shanty towns either because their houses had been destroyed, or they feared standing structures would not withstand aftershocks....They were uncertain about there lives...

News was spreading like a fire all round the world...millions of people got united to pray for the departed souls as well as survivors ....With teary eyes they were trying their level best to provide aid to the Haitians...Charity shows....prayer meets....song performances....aids all were scheduled regularly to help those poor peoples build their dreams again....No matter whether it is a celebrity or a common man all were together to comfort them....Communication systems, air, land, and sea transport facilities, hospitals, and electrical networks had been damaged by the earthquake, which hampered rescue and aid efforts initially; confusion over who was in charge, air traffic congestion, and problems with prioritisation of flights further complicated early relief work.Rescue efforts began in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, with able-bodied survivors extricating the living and the dead from the rubble of the many buildings which had collapsed,but treatment of the injured was hampered by the lack of hospital and morgue facilities...yet everyone was firm to find their way out...... to start a new life....to gather all the courage and start afresh..

.....Lets pray for the Haitians.....

True love happens only once...rest is life

2010-02-15T12:01:00.000-08:00

Love - Its not finding someone to live with rather its finding someone you cant live without....
Every chapter of our life is compiled with both beautiful and sad moments....sometimes they are filled with laughters and cheers and sometimes with those broken hearts and tears.....
We have a large no. of persons in our life...first of all our adorable parents who brought us in this beautiful world ....then our naughty siblings who treat us as their best friends....our grandparents who always shower their whole love on us.....These are the relations which god has made for us.....But their are some relations which are made on earth itself...Amongst those beautiful relations the best one is of LOVE....filled with fun and care.....sentiments and anger..Trust and tears ....

We try to live this relation at its fullest ...we are overwhelmed...we enjoy it....happiness starts revolving all round but sometimes it doesnt work....sometimes we loose it forever...sometimes we get ditched...sometimes we get only tears and pain in love....

There is a very simple question i want to ask you all....Do you all think that love happens only once in life???

As per my opinion I do not agree with it...According to me....Love is the feeling which has many forms..Many a times it happens that the sentiments which we start calling love turns out to be an infatuation only...Sometimes it is just a puppy love..Sometimes it is only for fun..none of the innermost feelings are involved in it...But sometimes its a TRUE LOVE....Though it is rarest of its kind yet it is the most beautiful and innocent feeling one can feel for someone....It is the purest feeling of the heart when you can find the tears of your beloved in your own twinkling eyes....when their pain can suck your blood....when their smiles can be found on your own lips....

But discovering some of the devastated and crushed love relationships in your life doesn't mean that its the end....They are merely a part of life now a days...every day we can find thousands of people facing breakups and all....but they should be hopeful that its not the end...nor their life is going to be empty.....This heart break is just for a short duration cuz someone more perfect is waiting for them.....Every person in this world is made for someone...someone who is understanding...beautiful....charming .....

We can always find people moving in and out of relationships frequently just like in jobs...But see their courage...They are always hopeful that the new person who will meet them in near future will be much better than the previous one..... :) :) ....,.Its life friends....You will always find your perfect soulmate in your life.....No matter whether quickly aur after years and years.....Whether she will be the first person of your life or last.....she will be all yours....

FARMVILLE-The Cyber Farm...

2010-02-14T12:30:00.000-08:00

Fresh carrots.....super pumpkins......pretty roses....watery watermelon.....These are now not only the crops grown after lot of efforts rather these are the crops which are being grown at a single click....hardly in 12 hours you can get rusty carrots....or in 16 hours u can find urself smudged in between pretty red roses....There are beautiful colorful trees loaded with fruits and getting ready in less than five days....there are cute animals which are continuosly helping the fantastic farmers to raise money......
You all must be wondering that what i am talking about......Friends I am talking about one of the best internet game:

"FARMVILLE"-The winner of best social application award.......

People are getting on their nerves to play it...They are crazy for it....They are losing their sleeps for it......They are regularly working hard to make their farm amongst the best farm ever.....Some achieve this goal and some people are struggling hard to acheive it....

There are small blue ponds for the warm sunny days and similarly their are hot fire pits and hot tubs for the biting cold ...There is also a Perfect dairy house for the silly cows and modernised chicken coop for the little chickss.....a haunting horse stable for the horses....

Everything is there .....Just as at real farm....But the difference lies in the way of producing....the way of maintaining....the way of cooperating......

Though this cyber farm is merely a game of '01' numbers yet the way it teaches us golden lesson is marvellous...Though it is quiet addictive yet the way it makes us cooperate with our cyber neighbours is really remarkable....

This cyber farm develops a sense of responsibilty in our hearts.....It makes us care for the crops so that they are safe from withering.....which automatically tells us that we should care for our things .....

It lets us cooperate with other farmers by sending them gifts and bonus regularly ...It teaches us that if in the real life also we help our friends and neighbours then we will be really in benefit .....we will get their wishes....their support and their friendship.....

This cyber farm makes us realize the beauty of colors....the sunny paradise as well as the chilly snowy winters.....The zest with which we all celebrate each and every festival at farmville is amazing...whether it is Christmas or Valentine day...Halloween or the new year....

They make our day...... :) :)

What I want??

2010-02-12T12:24:00.000-08:00

A small question just comprising three words..."WHAT I WANT ? " yet one of the toughest question which I have faced at every step of my life.....This short question deserves the longest answer ever because there are unending expectations of a human life...... sometimes honest...sometimes nasty....and sometimes innocent ....

I am also at the same end...Since my childhood ... my each day gives birth to a new aspiration of life...
I remember those days when I longed to be a cardiologist.....because those nasty medical weapons and those crystal white coats of the doctors attracted me a lot....and just about a month later i found a new aim budding inside my heart...It was the wish to be a jewellery designer......I was always interested in my mothers accessories...i always made sure that every jewellery she wore matched with her dresses...I always tried to bring new designs for those golden necklaces......

Apart from all these long term goal....there are many small achievements.....Like....Whenever i see a small hut surrounded by trees on the highway..I want to live in that hut.....Whenever i saw beautifull swans playing in water...I want to be one of them.......Whenever i come across those tiny birds making their nests...i want to be like them so that i can fly high uptowards the clouds....I want to be with each and every little beautiful thing which holds a beautiful place on this earth....
Sometimes i long to be a white angel with a magic wand so that i can take all the pains of my loved ones and sprinkle all the happiness upon them....
I am the twinkle of my dad's eye and sometimes I want to live that moment again by being the same little newborn child in my dad's arms....I again want to be the adorable little angel of my mother who loved to hold my finger to make me walk....I want to be spend my life with the most adorable person on this earth..who can understand my silence...who can stand besides me at every dark hour of my life....who can be my best friend ever.....with whom i can laugh out loudly without any care of the crowd...i can declare with pride that.."Look..Hez mine" .....I want to be with him at every step of the coming years......
There are nonending uncountable aspirations in my heart and i want to fulfill all of them.....I want to live all these coming years with the memories of the yore ,a smile on my lips and bundle of other budding desires of my life......I WANT IT...

A PROMISE

2010-02-11T11:47:00.000-08:00

What is a promise....Is it assurance or is it a commitment.....a consignment or a sign of loyality???....We always have a large number of definitions to define a word......but do you all think that "PROMISE" is just a word??....... No...not at all......
If it is just a word then why we all try our level best to fulfill it!!!!!!!!!.....We do it because we always want our loved ones to know that they hold a very special place in our lives....our hearts.....
We tell them that no matter whatever problems they have to face we will definitely be there for them to make their eyes sparkle ...and their hearts smile...

Promise is that ray of sparkling light which rises a new hope in a person life.....a budding trust spreads its leg in his heart......
Just feel that minute of a mother's life when her naughty child promises her that he wont eat uncountable candies or the moment when a father tells his daughter to not to worry over any issue until and unless he is there.... love of a sister when she shares her toys with her brother.....All these unspoken feelings are itself a promise that we will always take care of you .....
It engulfs the most terrific moment of your life when you tell someone that you will meet his expectations.....non ending...non dying expectations....

....Expectations of parents...expectations of siblings.....hopes of spouse....trust of a lover.....everything is enclosed in that little moment of your life when you promise......something promising....and everlasting

MYSTERIOUS ROSES

2010-02-10T02:11:00.000-08:00

ROSES... The most beautiful flower I have ever seen..full of charm....cheer...unspoken yet relevant feelings....It seems like an enchanting beautiful experience for me when i find myself sitting besides those fragnant and pretty rose bushes....Those magical colors of nature splashed on beautiful dewy petals envelops the most fabulous tales inside them.....Tales of undying love...tales of true belief.......tales of trust.....

These whimsical flowers sometimes denote the unbound respect for someone.....sometimes they are symbol of passionate love....sometimes they serves the purity of untouched beauty....

With an added flavour of youthful desires these tiny magnificent little flowers are one of most adorable gifts desired by the grand gala people ubiquitously......

Whether it is a rusty red or strawberry pink....brassy yellow or omnifarious orange....Roses are the best gifts ever....Sometimes they smile in a vase and sometimes they laugh in a book......

Saved Roses inside a book are the symbol of best prolific memories one can treasure throughout his life.....It is often said that"Remember me like a pressed rose in your personal notebook...It may not be having any fragrance but will remind you of my existence in your life... 'FOREVER'..."

.........Those little moments full of cheers....happiness....crazy dreams.......are always more enthusiastic when marked by these little colorful roses full of musical invisible notes......

EXPERIENCE DO MATTER........

2010-02-07T07:18:00.000-08:00

Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.

Yes.......Every moment spent by a man lets him gain a new lesson....A child first learns that every morning something minty is applied to his little mouth...he gets irritated and sometime cries.....but after a week or two it becomes his habit...As the time passes he understands all the pros and cons of brushing the teeth daily.....

I remember the time when i wrote my first poetry.....and the way my parents appraised it ,gave me a new confidence to write another one....

Always remember that your first walk...your first race...your first exam ..can sometimes shape up your life....

Imagine yourself....Can a women forget the first time she delievered a baby ??Can a singer forget the first time he sang??No...never.

Experiences actually mark our personalities in a unusual ways..They generate sensations that you will never forget..They become a template of your future successes...

It is that marvellous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again....It lets you gain confidence,courage and strength and makes you able to say yourself"'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along"....

Experience is the teacher which helps a lot during the final moments.....Lets take an example....Hav a look on the various cricket teams round the world....You will see new faces...young players.. but at the same time you will also notice experienced players which always act as a great wall of china saving their team from the hard attacks of the competing team.....

Experience is what we undergo rather than what we did...we cannot create experience....we can only feel it.....

MONEY CANT BUY EVERYTHING

2010-02-05T00:57:00.000-08:00

It is really a very common topic of discussion ...... no matter whether it is between youths....or the old generation....... though there is a lot of contradiction among there views yet all of them revolve around gaining more and more money.......
In this era of competition and regular topsy turvy nature of job market......people are getting on their nerves....they are blindly running here and there for getting more and more...... Fame...high status...Rocking get togethers....materialistic life..... all is possible with money.....but do you all think that a silent walk on the beach with your beloved..... a dreamy night below the stars.....a playful evening with the little ones can be bought with the help of money??????.........No not at all.......How can you imagine to get such blissful moments of your life when you dont have any time to spare......
Early morning get ups to late night sleeps ....all is spent between those dark office files....those lusty laptops.....those jolting business meets....and Luckily if some free moments are there to spare ....they get lost in getting medical aids for painful waistline..tortured backbones...glossy pin powered eye sights....

Life is too short to enjoy every happiness...... When we were the kids.....we were regularly given lessons for hard studies and sparkling results......When we grew bit older we were taught to get more and more knowledge for overall personality development which will help in cracking those mysterious job interviews....When we were about to start a new life with our spouse...our mind is sorrounded by various ways to earn more and more for the family....for the kids...for their better future......
Everything seems to run smoothly but between all this chaos and marathon something precious is always lost.....

Those blessed moments when your new born had his first laughter.....That meaningful touch of your loved ones asking you to wake up at the first ray of the sun......Every fun of hot coffee sips with your friends.... is gone somewhere...somewhere far away ...... buried inside those heavy files.............inside the screen of those lusty laptops........inside your aching heart which often hums these lines......

"I want to go back to the times...

When getting "high" meant "on swings"

When "mom" was the only "hero"

When"dads" shoulder were the "highest place" on the earth

When the worst"enemies" were your "siblings"

When the only thing that can hurt were the "wounded knees"

When the only things "broken" were your "toys".........."

EMOTIONS

2010-02-02T23:23:00.000-08:00

Sometimes unspoken....sometimes unheard..... These emotions are the most mysterious way of communication..... One can feel the unseen tears of someone and at the same moment one can also misconstrue the sparkling eyes......
Those tearful deep eyes sometimes denotes unbound happiness and sometimes they make us feel the depth grief... Those cheery laughters .... those raucous smiles both are generated from the core of the heart yet they have a seperate meaning......

While scrolling throughout the internet you all have come acrossed various animated smileys...... these little ones are always with us to help our friends (who are sitting far away)...... know how we are feeling at that moment.....sometimes we share our happiness with broad smiles.....sometimes with a delicate one......sometimes those tearful smiles show our adorable pain......

“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”....They will always remember those cute tiny animated emotions which told them the unheard feelings of their best pals.........

Just try to imagine......

What a Green field feels seeing rainy clouds...What a new born feels looking at its mother just after the birth....What a sister feels when her brother says sorry for his mistake...What a girl feels when her boyfriend holds her hand tight on a pleasent winter night walk...What a father feels when his son hugs him and say... I love you dad....What a friend feels when after a huge fight his friend message him and say I need you.....

Friends....words cant define everything its only the feelings that connect us with one other.....Those unseen unheard untold feelings.......

FAMILY- OUR GREATEST SUPPORTER

We all can feel that very moment when we had just learnt to walk while holding out parents finger.......we can still look through those old times when we had a great fight with our siblings for a small candy or a telivision remote...... Just smell those old memories of family get together or a picnic outing......
Recalling all those adorable memoirs........i am moving up on the tides.....i can feel the warmth of that tender hug by my family during my worst times...telling me "dont worry dear...we are with you"...
Those cherished memories are my strength during the tough times...my confidence when i am low ...........

Just try to imagine yourselves without your families....you will find yourselves nowhere.....just all alone...crushed and aimless.....It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!It is the hardest moment of your live when there is noone to share your happiness or divide your sorrow.....

We all are tied with such a strong and special bond that nobody can break it......we can remain away from our families for some time but we cant never neglect it....Somewhere deep at the core of our heart we pray for the surreal union...No matter where you live, brothers are brothers and sisters are sisters. The bonds that keep family close are the same no matter where you are.

We have our father who always stands with us like a tough wall through which no problems can fly to us.....we have our mother whose warm lap absorbs all the problems of our life.....we have our siblings who are sometimes our best friends and sometimes a perfect guide......The melodious rhymes of our grandparents are always a symbol of our invulnerable life....a life full of love affection and wonders.....

A life full of beautiful relations.....

FRIENDS

"When it hurts to look back and your scared to look ahead you can look beside you and your best friend will be there."

Yes.....Friends!!!!!!!! the most beautiful gifts of life.They are the siblings god forgot to gave us.They are the one who stand by us no matter whatever the situation is.They are the persons who tell us that who we are.

Friends are the real gems who let us inherit the capability of analyzing an unknown person.....They are the one who let us develop a habit of sharing......trusting and above all the habit of enjoying....enjoying the moments of togetherness....enjoying the moments of happiness.....and the moments of tears too(but after some years)......

We know that memories play a confusing role in our lives.They make us laugh when we remember the time we cried together and they make us weep when we remember the moments we laughed together.

A person can never choose his relatives but he can always choose his true friends....he can always find them amidst of crowd........
The relation of friendship is like a white rose(though i know white rose represents peace) which is pure...innocent...secret...
Pure because it is above all the relationships formalities......Innocent because it represents two delicate buds who need each other to grow.....Secret because friends share a secret language that others cant tune into....

They can hear your cry inside with their silent embrace....They can see the fear you keep hidden away...They can feel the pain which you never show....They live within us with a shadow unseen....They flow before us as a newborn stream....

Dedicated to all my adorable friends.......

WE ARE ONE

Last night i finished reading a novel "2 States" by one of the most witty Indian writer Mr.Chetan Bhagat.The novel was based on a love story of two lovebirds who belonged to different states..different religion...different culture...different family backgrounds yet one country i.e INDIA.They were madly in love with each other.The story revolves around the ups and downs of their love life and dominance of their families in their relationship.They were striving hard to make their parents understand their love.But according to the parents this union of a punjabi lad with a tamilian brahmin was not acceptable .Those social glitches and firm boundaries of egos were too hard to crack.The guys didnt wanted to elope as they wanted their families to share their happiness....but it seemed like an unfulfilled scary dream.. still they were hopeful.

They were hopeful for their love....for the trust they shared....and the story goes on ..and at last the true love won every one's heart.............

"LOVE IS NOT FINDING SOMEONE TO LIVE WITH.....ITS FINDING SOMEONE YOU CANT LIVE WITHOUT"

But still i am wondering ....i am curious that till how many ages we have to remain divided by these religious customs and egoistic thoughts.That couple was lucky that somehow they managed everything but i dont think that luck shine with every lifeline.....There are so many peoples who are unable to cross the religious and cultural boundaries though they know that these boundaries are made by themselves only.

As per our geographical map,India is extended from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Gujrat to Arunachal Pradesh....but for 70% of our denizens ....India is only within the area they live....Though it is known that there are 31 states in India yet 70% of our population believe that India is divided into 31 parts having different cultures and customs.But they just forget that the independence was not achieved by the punjabis alone.....it was not achieved by the marathis alone...it was not gained by tamilians alone...and neither it was only the hard work of only assamese.......It was a unforgettable collaboration of all the INDIANS....It was a joint venture of the whole nation.......They fought for each other...because they loved each other....they realized that no traditional differences will deprive them for being ONE COUNTRY...ONE INDIA.

Today on the 61st republic of INDIA ........We should take pledge that....

with

31 States

1618 languages

6400 castes

6 religions

6 ethnic groups

29 Major festival

we are 1 country

BE PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN........

HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY

THERE IS ALWAYS A ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT

I still cherish my childhood memories..... my careless behaviour......my irrelevant talks.....my poor handwriting.....n last but not least my reluctance towards academics.I was always happy....no matter what.
I always took my things carelessly...... was always busy wid toys n friends.
My dad always tried to explain me about the importance of time...importance of academics and always tried to make me realize my actual potential..but i never took him seriously ...I always listened to him but as soon as he is out of sight...i was back to mischiefs...
Time was flying like anything but i was the same old little naughty girl ....busy in my own small fairy world....

One day when i was in my highschool i was away for a debate competition.It was my first public encounter.One of my friend was participating in that event and i dont know how i got ready to be there as an active participant.I was quite nervous and shy.My eyes were searching for my dad because i knew he is my biggest strength.No matter how mischievous i was..i was always the twinkle of my dad's eye.

I found him sitting on the very front row eagerly waiting for my turn.He was aware of my scary situation.He comforted me by his gestures.Somehow i managed to get through it but i knew it was the worst debate on my part.I was in tears.It seemed to me that i was dumped in the real world from my fairy land.Till now my world was limited to toys...dolls...friends....fairies...wonderlands.I never tried to be a part of the real world.But that day...that moment taught me each and every thing which my dad always wanted me to learn...

That one defeat was my life's turning point.Till now i was judged by my parents eyes but when i was not accepted by others i was bit shattered.

Every lesson taught by my dad was echoing in my ears..every inspiration given by my mother was rolling infront of my eyes.....n every comment given by the judges and my batchmates was hitting my heart.

My parents were my best companion at that weak moment of mine.I was in their arms feeling down.I personally feel that ..that day was the longest day i had...Time was still it seemed to me..

But...whatever it was..it was making a way for a new ..confident....brave...sensitive little girl having blessings of her parents.....a girl full of aims and aspirations.....a girl full of new life....

That day onwards all the toys were lost....all the fairytales were dumped....I was now a tough girl who was ready to face the competions.....who was determined to win in every circumstances....

My parents were happy...I was happy......and to their surprise just after six long months...they witnessed their little girl holding "the best debater" glistening trophy in her hand on the same ground.My dad was the happiest person at that moment and i was the most charming lady of the moment.

I called my parents on the stage and took their wishes...and you know what my dad whispered in my ear.....

"THERE IS ALWAYS A ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT"

TOYS 'N' SMILES

"GIVE ME SOME SUNSHINE....GIVE ME SOME RAIN..

GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE... I WANNA GROW UP ONCE AGAIN.."

These lines are from one of the best Indian movie "3 IDIOTS"..This movie is based on the the young generation of today which is totally entangled between its life..aim...career..aspiration.....excess pressure of the parents' wishes and their expectations.

Yes it is a bitter truth....Today's generation is completely overburdened by the aspirations and dreams of themselves as well as their parents...they are completely lost between their fast moving life.

Gone are those days when a little girl of 8-9 yrs is holding a doll in her hand busy in making her ready for her marriage ceremony with another toy. Now a girl of same age(8-9yrs) is busy with her books...school debates...online exams....results....She has no time to play with dolls ....to play video games....

Every morning they have to get ready for school with a 10 Kg weight on their backs in the form of school bags.

Those muds...those clay models....those beautiful dolls and those amazing toys are all now becoming a part of big shelves of study rooms of the kids...Their bed is enveloped with files..assignments....pens etc.They have to study till late night and have to leave the bed early in the morning so that they can be on time..

The whole naughty childhood is a dream now...those nursery rhymes...those little friends....those broken toys...and those lost pencils are no more a part of this competitive age..........they are all in those dreamy eyes.....and now a part of unfulfilled dreams.....

DEW DROPS

I was bit upset yesterday..was not able to decide which way should i choose..rather it seemed as if there were no ways open for me...i was sitting with an unconscious mind having tears in my eyes...I was unable to carve my own path.I was just like a dry autumn leaf lying on the floor...........Hours were just passing like anything......No dreams..no aims....no tunes...nothing.....Seconds were passing like years......Every charm was lost.....Every Laughter was lost.....

There were lots of entwined things ...my life..my career..my dreams...my aspirations...It was really a very tedious task to clear them up....I was lost in all that stuff when i felt something pure...something soothing...I discovered a bright red rose covered by fresh and sanguine dew drops....It was looking so beautiful so pure that i cant describe it in words...It was blooming all alone in the twilight....

I was staring at the rose continuosly.I was finding something different.I was finding my best friend in that rose who was with me that time.It was comforting me ...reflecting a new path to me....It was telling me that :

"dear no matter..whether you are alone or with the crowd..your charisma and your charm will always boost your confidence and will always enhance your potential.You can be the centre of attraction by improving your qualities..You need not to worry...Just try to enhance your qualities your knowledge....and you will win at the end...everything will be in your reach...Just move ahead. "

I was relieved.I was happy.I was enthusiastic.I was thankful to that beautiful rose.It has given me that message which i was searching inside my soul..A fresh start was waiting for me with her arms streched....

THE RHYTHM OF LIFE

2010-01-20T04:40:00.000-08:00

It starts as a blank page, no lines, no words, no notes....nothing...just a crystal white layer....a perfect blend of mysteries and adventures.It only depends on the person whether he colors it brightly or dump it...There are no repeats no second endings...the bargraph of life moves on steadily measuring the passage of life just like dusk and dawns....evrything in a perfect manner...in a perfect rhythm.....
Sometimes we may come across blenched failures.......sometimes we come across loads of happiness....sometimes we sit on a mire of confusions.....sometimes we just move on and on waiting for the destiny to run on its coarse......

But I am still not clear that why we people do this.....why we sit idle and wait for the destiny to carve out its own path...U people might find it funny but yes its true.....we are the one who can control our deeds....we are the one who can maintain our thoughts wisely...we are the only living creatures who can extract diamonds from the core of the earth and can also reach other planets....Always remember that..

Life can throw us problems,

to where it all looks bleak.

Yet, life can be fantastic,

as if a winning streak.

Never get scared from the ups and downs......until and unless you wont feel the touch of oasis how will you be able to desire for the feel of sea.....The sea of success...the sea of happiness....the sea of love ......

BE TOUGH.BE STRONG.BE YOUR OWN MENTOR.

YOU WILL WIN

EVERY MOMENT IS VALUABLE

2010-01-19T05:01:00.000-08:00

Another day...Another moment.....full of laughter,smiles,hugs.......Time flies so fast..Isn't it?.....Till the time we can realize the worth of something.....we lose it......Though we cherish its memories yet somewhere at the bossom of our heart we know that we were not able to understand it completely in the given time and lost it forever.
Busy with these thoughts I was enjoying a foggy january morning with a cup of coffee.... the biting sensation of cold waves was engulfing me and making me more and more lazy....when a thought came into my mind.... Soon i realized that these cold waves,these snow flakes,this chilly weather is just for a time being....sooner or later i have to come across those sweaty summers.....those blistering hot airs....... When i know that again i have to tolerate the scorching heat then why should i waste a single moment of this soothing weather???.....Rather i should make plans to enjoy it at the fullest.....I should celebrate it with my family and friends so that they can also preserve these memories for the rest of the months.....
It will be a blast.................Bonfires..blankets..cards...drinks..hot roasted dinner with a dash of ice creams.....Wont it be great??.....It will be really the most exciting evening i can ever imagine... I gave a phone call to all my friends....i asked my whole family to start preparing for a wonderful evening......I was very happy....i was about to spend a party nite....i wanted to preserve all the memories of those moments....I wanted to tell my family that they are the one who are my most valuable possessions...Without them evrything is incomplete....I wanted my friends to realize that "ENJOY EACH AND EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE......CUZ IT IS PRECIOUS".........................

LiFe -- a gift..

2010-01-18T10:19:00.000-08:00

Trapped in a mire of reality,
Sometimes dreams are all i have,
reality is nothing
but a well disguised mirage;
torn between the two,
i fight on and on and on,
everyday with my own self,
to keep my sanity and live another day......

Written by a renowned writer these lines are not merely a collection of words ....but these are the rhythm sung by a large no. of people evry day.......these lines are the reflection of every moment of their lives which is filled with regrets...tears....despair....... they treat themselves as a loser...a sinner...... but it is not so........ instead these people do not realize that they are the one who were the most valuable gifts for their parents.....a pearl for their mothers .....who always used to pray for their bright future...a shooting star for their siblings who always know that there is no need to worry when they are there..... When these people are real life hero of so many lives then how can they be loser????? .........

"Kabhi mai sochti hu

Mai jaun wahan jahan koi hoga mera

Itni ruswai hai mere jeevan k andheron mei..

Mera dil bhi dhundta hai ek naya savera

Mukkadar mei kya likha hai humein ni pata

Chalein hain dil ko pattharkarke

Dhundte hue ek naya kinara......."
