Mind & Soul

This is about that time when me and my friend were caught by a disease encountered in today's MNCs; 'You are here just to be managed (not to be worked)". With or without realizing, we used to pass our valuable time with every possible nonsense around us. My friend was going through those days in her life when you can not let any celebrity's life go easy on you. She used to come up with hidden facts about their life from various sources which, by the way, used to be juicy and fruity. That was the time, I discovered a true friend in her! I developed a great a amount of respect when she gave me some very deep insights about Gandhi's gay lifestyle. Mind you we did not even have Joseph Lelyveld's book out by then. She managed it all by google and an Ahmedabad trip. *A Bow with Respect* So we soon became very intrusive of 'old and died' topics around us and around world. One fine day, she asks me to turn up and read something on Wiki. I did and found out...

Finished yoga and I hear phone ring. Mom called up to wish. Yes my second year of wedlock completed today. She wished and asked the usual's; so did I. We ended it in 5 minutes. I need to call her in summers this time. It has been days, I have seen her. After sister's marriage, she and me have not spent a good time together. I update calender on iPAC and share it on FTB (facebook and Twitter merged). Husband audio tweets on our shared wall in facebook over my calendar entry asking if he can join us. I smile. Doorbell! A courier guy with a letter. I open and find a letter. Handwritten letters are way to my soul and He made it possible even while being away since a week. I smile again and tie hair. I have to beat his surprise. I guess I need to do what I could have done in next life. COOK! Yeah nothing better than a home made cake and meal. He is landing midnight, he might get a heart attack seeing this; but let it be. Opes! office calls. I finish offlice calls, mails, writ...

Living in top floor apartment has given an another advantage in my hit-list. Even a lazy walk in living room or towards balcony in the evening, blesses me with a view which I never could imagined. Tomorrow is Diwali and since past four days, every body in neighborhood has placed electrical lights on their rooftops and fronts. Suddenly you see so many lights, in every possible color and every possible design. I finish my work from room and take a tour of house while I notice after four days why did i not relish this view before. No wonder God Laxmi comes with her blessings on this festival. When a mere human like me gets fascinated by such view and a dusty diwali smell. Heart like its regular motion of pumping blood also pumps up million of thoughts. Though it purifies blood somehow I believe It cannot do this to thoughts. For every possible thought it makes sure that It reaches to the soul. Soul which is always confuse or rather I say is always so neat that It cannot dump or mak...

Remember I told you life is a circle. Note to myself- "Sometime take yourself seriously." Yes Life is a circle. What goes around comes around with same shit most of the times, but new asshole perhaps. So after like 8 years, my forgotten school friends have decided to reunite and re-torture. Being a hindi medium student tilll standard 10, I have a dark past with funny creatures in school. Possibly, nobody would have heard me saying any sweet stories of my school times, becuase I don'd have any. I was being realised in my childhood only that I am going to be 'this' much weird in life and hence, I was given most weirdest friends. Friends who boycotted me for a year because I had a hair cut; infact a Bob cut; from my waist long hair. Friends who used to play "Boogie Woogie" in lunch and I was always made Naved Jeoffary. Friends who called themselves 'Bhai Behen' while I could see they so badly wanted to kiss. And God knows what! Anyways, I was...

Avoiding groping eyes; while travelling; has mastered me to read a book with earphones in full finesse. Being a loner helps in giving a damn to the world while you are lost in your own. Still sometimes you land into something very abrupt and enchanting. Finishing 100th page of Chetan Bhagat's latest novel not only made me clutching the damn book with full force but also made me ignore the fact that I am in a local bus with a hot stud sitting next to me. In between those 100 to 102 page, I was undergoing an extremely hot steamy love making episode where I could not help but in indulging. I am sure people around who could not see cover of book; based on my eagle eye focus; must have thought I am preparing for CAT and mugging up words for mock class tests. Finally at the end of 103rd page, protagonists wear their clothes and left the hotel room in novel while I took out my ear phones to drink some water and digest the fact that I have a long way to be blessed with such phenomeno...

Life is a circle which is not an oval in any case. You are moving at some degree and at some inclination towards something. That destination is not known of-course; still you try to step up certain distance so that you can see the ultimate behind your circle. But it is an enigma. Most of the time when you take 5 steps ahead, you are being thrashed 10 steps back. Patience should never be under estimated, It has a very high value. Calmness and composite have their cost involved which you have to pay sooner or later. With time, you evaluate your value on greater scale and on thousands of parameters. You are asked why on earth your measurement criteria has changed and you remain spell bound thinking; does change is not the only constant thing in life. With time, plants grow, clouds thunder, Tree gives fruit and human beings embrace their emotions with tighter clutch. Just when they see, 'being in love' and 'being loved' has grown into two different meaning for person. Rel...
