So far away from home..

A day doesn't go by without me saying 'I miss my home', 'I miss Hyderabad'. I miss the Punjabi Dhabas on Medchal Highway, I miss the Hyderabadi Biryani in Madina, I miss sipping on some Coffee in Barista Creme....and then I realise its not just the place that I miss..Its the people and the memories attached that I miss.

Right now where I live is almost heaven on Earth...it couldn't get more beautiful, but I cannot love this place 'cause I do not have my friends and the people I love by me....I do not have the people who make my memories here.

Its soo true when they say people make the place....and for me they make my memories too....

..hmm that explains:-)

I wanted to explain the reason for the dreamy posts on my blog one after another:-)....my days go by taking care of the kids, cooking and the rest of the usual day to day routine that keeps me totally occupied ....I hardly get a few moments of peace and calm. So when I do log in to make my new blog entry I tend to look for that 'my' peaceful dreamy corner right here......also to add to it I am a romantic to the core and the result is this dreamy blog....

Thank you all for bearing with the monotony and I will sincerely try to give more variety to the blog from now on:-)..

But that doesnt stop us from smilin and dreamin...:-)

Ek pal....

Koi yeh kaise bataye,
Woh ek haseen khwaab tha ya mera haqeekat.
Woh khoobsoorat pal,
Bas ek pal tha ya zindgi bhar ki mohobbat.

Life is good:-)

Days go by and we get older than we were,
And they tend to lose the flavors that were.
Just then he comes my way to say,
Life is good on a day like today!

..these are a few of my favorite things

Peace, Calm, Tranquility, Meditation, Aroma, Silence, Trance, Shut down, Emptiness, Still, Numb, Cool, Ease, Contentment, Satisfaction, Bliss, Joy, Destination, Happiness,Your warm touch, Moist eyes, Pink Cheeks and A Happy Smile......................Welcome to my wonderland:-)

The best stress busters

These are my top five stress busters, if you please:-)

Sipping on my first steaming coffee of the day, sitting on my porch bench and staring into the green of the dense trees and breathing in nothing but the freshness of the morning.

My thirthy minutes each day of blind folding my mind and sweating it out in the fitness room..it feels like nirvana!Its like shedding all that is bad.

Then comes the shower..ohh yes the shower:-)....it can do wonders. Its the cleansing of all thats negetive and washes away all that weight in my heart that keeps it down. The ultimate rejuvenation. Well almost;-)

And for the rest of the day sipping on my chilled Green tea is what keeps me cool and happy and if Pink Floyd and the rest of my heroes play for me my day is as perfect as it can be.

And ofcourse the fifth most effective way to feel nice and light is doing what I am doing right now...just share my every thought...with you.......

.....and that is how love happens:-)

I watched 'Cheeni Kum' last night...and that is probably the most adorable movie that I have seen in a while. The charm is in the script..the things 'ghaaspoos' and 'tangdi kabab' say to eachother(thats what they call eachother:-). Ofcourse Ilayaraja's music only made it more groovy and adorable.

The entire time that I was watching the movie I was all smiles and my reaction to all the sweet stuff that amitabh and tabu said and did to eachother was 'how cute' or 'how sweet' or 'awwww' or 'thats how love should happen':-)

This movie is definitely recommended for its feel good factor.

Love looks different

It was love, that tingle in my heart every time I thought of him. The ache within me, the longing to be with him, my pounding heart and my tears that wet my pillow each night we were apart, it was all love.
Now he holds my hand as we walk by the beach. We know we stood the test of time. Today it is still the same love I feel when we look at our children and find the joy they bring to us in eachothers eyes. It is the same love I feel everytime he holds me and his heartbeat tells me he is here for me everyday for the rest of my life.
Now there is no more tingle in my heart but what i do have is a heart that is content. Love still remains it just looks different.

Its a Beautiful Day

My eyes smile with glee

And the Sun is crisp and warm,

Sitting under the shade of a tree

It was as cosy as home.

Friends and green tea,

cheese crakers and walnut cake

bare feet on the moist grass

and a view of the still waters of the lake

Stories of love and

Anecdotes that bring joy.

If there is anything missing

Its you my friend. Ahoy!!

Tera Saath

Saans lena aur tera saath hona

ek hi toh baat hai

meri zindgi mein yun ho shaamil

ab mera hona na hona tere haath hai

Roshni meri tumhi ho

Bin tere bas kaali raat hai

meri in thaki aakhon ko choomlo

tassali toh ho ke tera saath hai

Phir main chahe mar bhi jaoon

khush naseebon ki woh maut hai.

Today is the day it allll began...

After typing that title I was going to type the usual ':-)'..its my habit...then I thought its not been ':-)' alll the way..it has been a lot of ':-(' too....

Anyways thats not what I wanted to share today...There is a eternal conflict between my mind and my heart..between the 'want to's and the 'supposed to's.....'my wishlist' and 'my gifts' ...they are like the tracks of the train , never meet, never for once the same...

But its not entirely a sad story..There are these surprise gifts that I never thought about or expected but they are showred on me out of the blue and give me immense joy once they make their entry.

So I guess never mind my wishlist and my gift list as long as the surprises that are infact the true joy of life keep making their entry from time to time:-)

More and more beginnings:-)

This is like the time for starts...as if things that I always wished to do were all meant to begin now all at once:-)....Its a great feeling:-)...

I was always interested in nature photography but all the pictures I ever took have always been for the veiwing pleasure of my friends, family and self. A couple of days back just out of the blue I register myself on an online photography site and upload a few of the pictures I took for the online contest...now when I see the votes coming in it gives me a new high;-)

Life is the same but there is a freshness about it eachday...which goes unnoticed most of the times but I sense it in times like these:-)

Have a fresh day!

Rapt in your spell

The lies you lie
And the stories you tell.
Of love and life
Of heaven and hell.

Your every sweet lie
Gave me more joy than you could tell.
And the day you left
Is when they tasted bitter as hell.

But I haven't lost hope
Of your touch and smell.
Till the day I die
I am but rapt in your spell.

Wont you come to me

My mind will take me nowhere
And my heart confuses me.
With each passing moment
my soul loses me.

Will you not come to me
And set my spirit free.
Its fighting an emptiness
and the void wont let it be.

I need you to fill the spaces between my fingers
Wont you come to me.

For some reason my title column refuses to work so I am not able to give titles to my posts:-(.....

Anyways...life right now for me is filled with complaints and thats not me at all....but I am trying to grab on to good moments and not worry abt the rest of the day that is filled with chaos...and also trying my best to increase the number of peaceful times during the day...starting this bolg was a part of that effort .....some peaceful time(its become a luxury lately) when I type a post its just me and my heart and I shut myself from all the noise around me....

I was watching the hindi movie 'Life in a Metro' this evening..and the movie got me thinking....Why is it soo difficult to find happiness ,that one reason for our joy and that 'pure smile' that comes to us when we embrace it?Why is life soo difficult and choices soo difficult to find as well as to make?

But then I guess if it was all that easy..there wouldnt be any charm attached to life and movies about love and life would not be made...its charm and beauty lies in its unattainability, mystery and the pain that comes with it....atleast that is the reasoning I use to keep me satisfied;-)

Finally:-)

Few things get stuck at the thought stage...starting a personal blog was one such thing for me....its not so anymore....is it!!

I solemnly pledge that I shall do complete justice to this effort:-)....

Welcom to me!
