...

I read this piece online recently and loved it.. so had to put it on my blog!!
THE INVITATION
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.I want to know what you ache forand if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.I want to know if you will risk looking like a foolfor lovefor your dreamfor the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrowif you have been opened by life’s betrayalsor have become shrivelled and closedfrom fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with painmine or your ownwithout moving to hide itor fade itor fix it.I want to know if you can be with joymine or your ownif you can dance with wildnessand let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toeswithout cautioning usto be carefulto be realisticto remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true.I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself.If you can bear the accusation of betrayaland not betray your own soul.If you can be faithlessand therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not prettyevery day.And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lakeand shout to the silver of the full moon,“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here.I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Two or Too Special people!! =)

I totally love this snap I took ! Love the emotions in it!
What is special about this snap is, the fact that both the people in this snap are people I had weird unpleasant first meetings with, and never thought that they would end up being important people in my life's journey in their own way!
So for being the amazing Friends that you are to me, you lucky guys get a little space on my blog!! =)

... somethings never change...

It is amazing how we keep talking about how everything in life keeps changing constantly and barely ever talk about the things that never change!
Last night,while I was lying down in my bed and listening to ‘Heal the world’ on Radio , I happened to wander away into my world of thoughts and think about the things that never change, like never.. I mean I have heard ‘Heal the world’ a zillion times and will continue to, but it always makes me all emotional, gets me to want to sing along, to hold a candle and sway !
As my thoughts moved on, I happened to think of a few more things that never change…

· My want to become Miss India =)... Oh come on! Every girl wants it!
· Crying every time I see the climax of Kuch Kuch Hota Hain!
· The way Doordarshan has looked over the last few decades!
· Or for that matter the logo or the smell of Bata shoes!
· The temptation to eat wet mud every time the plants are watered!
· Parents thinking that their kids will never grow up!
· Kids thinking their parents will never understand their needs
· Men in uniform looking hot! ( Olive green, navy blue or just plain white!! )
· The butterflies in the tummy every time you see the one you want to be with!
· Sitting for hours and hours crying over a heartbreak and thinking it’s the end of the world,
and
days later smiling and thinking ‘how crazy was I back then!’
· Wanting to be the hottie in your class! Yaya!! Deny it! But deep down... we all know!
· The smell of Pond’s Dreamflower Talc! It’s the same since my granny used it!
· The importance of a hug when you are down in the dumps! ( so a lot of us say we don’t like
hugging, reality check – We all need hugs!)
· Everyone falling in love with the wrong person at least once in your lifetime!
· Laughing like crazy every time mom tells you the same childhood stories of yours!
· Begging parents for more allowance
· Dressing up just to go out to buy grocery (you might just bump into ‘her / him’ )
· The little happy feeling at midnight on your birthday!
· Thinking that strangers who try and help too much have something fishy about them.
( even if the poor thing is trying to help genuinely)
· Shah Rukh Khan’s ability to romance women of all ages and make it look so believable
· Jeans being the most comfortable piece of clothing for teenagers!
· Maruti 800! Kudos to that little thing for still finding its way on the roads, considering there
are innovations in automobiles every other day!
· The melody of ever green Kishore Kumar songs! Yeah I know Sonu Nigam is melodious
too, but hello, are we even thinking of comparing!
· The humor in F.R.I.E.N.D.S!
· The Goosebumps every time I hear Jaana gaana maana!
· The romance that rain creates!
· And the mistakes you wish you had never made!

All said and done.. I do know that change is inevitable! But then again sometimes it doesn't take much to look beyond cliches and notice the simpler things in life! Believe me... It's worth it!

The lonely tree.. lonely no more!


I was standing at the window at 7am with a camera in my hand, trying to get the tree alone in the barren land and then the cow walked in, and then I clicked!!

Windyy!!

A windy evening on marine drive! Not an extraordinary snap.. but I liked it.. so clicked!!

Love this song...

Look what you have done - Jet
Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you'
Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to prove
Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Give me back my point of view
'Cause I just can't think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose
Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won



I have never written anything about the lyrics of a song, but this song has been playing on my media player in loop for days now and somehow makes so much sense to me, its amazing!The words are simple and yet so meaningful. Everytime i hear this song (which is a zillion times a day) it feels like someone felt just what I feel right now when they made this song! According to a friend of mine : "dude the jet song is totally for you..its almost as if thy dedicated it to you!!"
I couldn agree more with him!! :)
