October 4, 2016

A question asked by every child to his or her mother, “Mummy how was I born?” Yes I know every one of you must have asked this question with that innocent smirk on your face, wanting to know with an exciting curiosity. Okay now caught you, every mother reading this line must be now smiling remembering the stereotype answer that you gave. “It was late in the night when starts twinkled brightly, a fairy God mother brought you to me. You were sleeping enclosed in the petals of a lovely flower. She blessed you with all the cuteness and joy and vanished walking towards the sky.” Yes I know you must be awestruck with all the imaginations going on your head and also you must have secretly wished that you might one day meet your fairy God mother. “See that is why you are such a cute kid amongst all your classmates,” saying this she must have pinched your cheeks. How innocent kids are then and yes we all believe this Mummy story only until we turn fifteen, or fourteen for that matter, thanks to our biology classes. fairy

This is not the only cliched, remember those days…you must be of the age seven or eight. That losing teeth, the pain in the gums, bleeding tooth. When the first tooth finally gave away and came out making space for a stronger one, you must be relieved then. “Mummy yes this tooth fell, I was just trying to brush my teeth when it came out on its own,” you must be really sleepy while brushing your teeth before going to the bed at night. “It is alright my dear, you know what you have to do with this fallen tooth now?” she asked with a questioning smile on her face because now she was going to follow another untold tradition for her child. Yes I know you must be excited about your first fallen tooth and upon that this surprising question must be another coming victory. “Keep this tooth under your pillow, the tooth fairy will come in the midnight. When you are deep in your slumber that time she will take away your fallen tooth and will bless you with a stronger tooth this time.” Was it really going to happen this way, well no one among you must have waited till the midnight I’m sure. And after many years you must have realised that tooth fairy was none other than your beloved mother.

Every one of you must have undergone with these incidents in your life, but these are those small things that bring meaning to life. Imagine if you had not been excited about this fairy taking away your tooth then you might have grumbled every time your tooth fell just because you looked no less than a cartoon. This is the way to live your life some early lessons given by your mother, that see the good in everything and negate the bad in life. You must appreciate this stereotypes because they made your childhood really fascinating and joyful.

Sat there as my mind wonder In thousands ways,

Hold it to calm it and looked inside only to see you.

Smile that made my day now vanished as a lost memory,

But still the only face in my mind belongs to you

Talks that made us laugh like crazies, now gone with the time,

But what is with me is you.

Left me alone gone a long distance, that I will never be able to overcome,

But what is special is you.

Those eyes which made my heart skip a beat are nowhere to be seen,

But what is there are photographs of you.

I cry not because you are gone ,

But because our journey together was a little small.

Deep down in my heart I know you are happy,

But it makes me upset to not know where you are.

I wish I could get a second chance to make things go right,

But what breaks my heart is that will never happen.

I try to move on,

But those roads we walked together stop me from doing so.

I know you never miss me,

But what tears me apart is that I can’t stop missing you.

I know you will never come back,

But what shatters me is that I know it’s true.

Can love be arranged

Love is the feeling of eternal bliss, affection, care, compassion and contentment. Love just happens. It can happen anytime anywhere with anyone. It is not a science that follows some principles and has to meet some prerequisite conditions to happen. It can only be felt. One can be even completely unaware while falling for someone. It’s just a magnetizing force which makes you long for the other person. It strengthens when one feels compatible with the other person with time, learns to appreciate the other person’s strengths and accepts them wholeheartedly with their flaws and shortcomings. It happens with time and only when you want to do it for the sake of togetherness. The desire for this togetherness comes from within and can never be forcefully ignited in any one’s heart. Love is natural. It is the heart, the inner self that accepts, rejects and makes people special in life. The brain cannot force the heart to do so.

Arranging love is just a superficial concept. What love will it be when you have not fallen for someone yourself instead you are made to do so. Your partner has been provided to you and that is the brain which makes your heart to forcefully accept the person and get used to them. It is then that the inability to change the situation or passive acceptance that makes you sacrifice your desire to seek love the natural way and accept the arranged soul mate. It is then that you start seeking positives in the other person and neglecting the negatives or hoping that they change. While natural love gives you the contentment and happiness the arranged love makes you learn the art of acceptance and that of hunting compatibility factor due to lack of choice. No wonder you will gradually fall in love with the other person arranged for you but then it will take time and a lot of effort from both the sides.

It is this reason that we see around cases of immense fights, divorces and sometimes the frustration leading to petty crimes. When god has created love in its nature we are nobody to force it to someone neither to ourselves. Love can be arranged for you by your friends or family but then I see no point why? The feeling of is innate to everyone, it’s just that some may relate to it in an early phase in life and the rest in the latter phases of life. But everyone does.

For a better insight let’s be clear that it doesn’t just relate to the concept of love for soul mate, you can’t forcefully love anything in this world. Take a small kid, if he hates mathematics as a subject, you can only in some way force him to study it but not like the subject as much as he may like playing a sport while similarly, for a child who love studying you can just make him play a sport but not ignite that same desire for it.

Let’s just break the rudimentary thoughts being carried forward and be open enough in approach to accept the fact that the feeling of love is innate, selfless, and unconditional and purely one’s own desire. Let’s plant some love in our hearts and not in our brains.

THE ENERGY BOMBS – LHASA APSO

I am back with yet another piece of writing about that wet-nosed poodle you can’t imagine your life without. Well, I always have had this thought in mind that I would like to share today. Before that, I want you to close your eyes and think once, just once – do you see any person or an individual that have betrayed you or was unable to keep up to your expectations for them? That might not have been their fault but somewhere down the lane, you can’t just fathom a proper reason to their deeds or dones. You might have forgiven and forgotten but still, there stands a time, a minute, a second when you felt “what happens now, is not what I deserve!” I really don’t want to hurt anyone by saying whatever I did, but the truth lies in the fact, “Expectations hurt”. Though there isn’t a way you can escape it. It is there in you, in your blood, your veins and it runs through your body.

lhasa-apso2 Then when you look at that four legged creature at looking up at you with all its life, do you still feel the pain? I bet you don’t! You won’t ’cause loyalty travels their blood. You just know, they will happily take over death for you, your safety. And that, my friend, is the very reason you will protect it with your own life. THAT is the kind of strength those glassy eyes have on you, I and everyone who feels the canine-breath.

Now imagine how would it have been if those same eyes are hooded with thick furs? Adorable, ain’t it? Yes! I am talking about the Lhasa Apso.

COME! LET’S KNOW THEM A BIT

The Lhasa Apso is one of the most wanted of all breeds. They are said to be one of the oldest of breeds that have ever walked the earth. Researchers traces back to the times of 4000 years from now when the oldest of the breed evolved. The name, “Lhasa Apso” comes from their syllabalic meaning – ‘Lhasa’ is the capital of Tibet, the original homeland of the dogs and ‘Apso’ means ‘bearded’ which makes Lhasa Apso to be the ‘long haired Tibetian dog’. They were used in the Buddhist monasteries as the watch dogs. The shrill voice of the Apsos is one of the many perks of them. It could prevent burglary or any such sort of minimalistic offemces in the monasteries. The Lhasas were regarded as precious possessions as it was so believed that the dead souls of the Dalai Lama rested in the body of the canines until they were reborn in the form of human.

KNOWING LHASA APSOS BETTER

These dogs are extremely friendly and playful. They are known for the immesnse amount of energy restored in their cells. They come from the ancient bloodline of alertness. Though they are pretty small and it wants is to be cuddles and pampered, Apsos also need a daily dose of exercise. Do not forget to take care of their coat which is very thick for they are double-coated. Though these dogs shed a lot less fur than the other breeds, they should be well taken care of. The fur needs special attention. Cleaning and combing is super important in case of Lhasa Apso.

TAKING CARE OF THE LHASA APSOS

They are also known to be a bit prone to disease like blindness which comes down with ages, sebaceous adenitis which is kind of hereditary skin disease and cherry eyes which is another eye disorder in an Apso – they are also applauded for their longevity and hardiness. Start training them early so that they are well in advance with the terms of the society in which they are supposed to live. If trained good, Lhasa Apso can be the darling of your eye.

Apsos are one of the personal favorites though. <3

Well then, I would like to take the opportunity to stop here.

I promise to be back with yet another piece for the kind of species I love.

Till then be good. Cuddle your wetty noses and keep spreading love.

Toodles. 🙂

Durga Puja which is also referred as Durgotsava. It is a festival that is celebrated from the sixth to tenth bright lunar fortnight. Durga Puja is the festival that marks the victory of the goddess Durga over the evil buffalo Mahishasur. Thus, Durga Puja festiva; basically symbolizes the victory of Good over evil. Goddess Durga is worshipped as the destroyer of the evil and protector of her devotees. For all the Bengali Hindus, Durga Puja also known as ‘Durga Pujo’ is the biggest festival of the year.
The huge and artistic pandals, magnificent idols of goddess Durga, people dancing on the beats of ‘Dhaki’ (Drums) and not to forget the evenings surrounded with the divine tunes of goddess Durga Aarti are some of the features of every Durga Pujo celebration.

Kolkata and Delhi are two such states that are famous and well-known for Durga Pujo pandal decoration. Even though not as grand as it is in Kolkata, Mumbai has its own flavor when it comes to Durga Pujo pandals. Mumbai makes up for the lack of number of pandals with its celebrity touch and luxurious pandals. But, Mumbai cannot be missed when it comes to decoration of pandals during this auspicious festival. Over the period of years Mumbai as a city has managed to astonish its devotees with massive and beautifully themed pandals. The Bengalis, who are unable to make it Kolkata because of the same old work problems, drip themselves in these wonderfully decorated pandals. Most Bengalis who have been staying in Mumbai for a long time know about almost all the pandals, yet here is a list for others who want to seek blessings and vibes of Devi during this auspicious festival.

Vashi Durga Puja Pandal

A must visit for food enthusiasts. The pandal is located near the ICL School in Vashi. Besides the pandal decoration, the food here is irrestible; but be prepared to shell some money.

Birthday gift

I was six years old when i was sent here. I don’t know why i was sent here. But i remember the day very clearly. It was my birthday, the most awaited day of whole year. I turned six. It was the day I got this gift. The gift which today is the only possession of my own. I got it from the two most important persons of my life, my parents. Being only a six year old kid I consider it to be the worst gift of my life. I was send to place I do not know anything with the person I do not know the name even. But they choose it as my birthday gift was the biggest question my life. Like every normal child I tried to know but all in vain. The real truth of my life is I still do not know. Later did I realised what has happened with me. I was sent to a fully furnished 2 bed room apartment to live all alone forever. The lady who accompanied me, I consider her my aunt until I realise she is even a myth in my life.

It was my birthday when I first reached there. I guess that was the most exciting journey of my life for the whole way I was dreaming of a biggest surprise I was going to get. Being a normal innocent child I was also expecting a general surprise party with lots of gift. But honestly that was the last time I dreamt of something good. As soon as I entered the place I ran to each and every corner of it looking for my surprise but got nothing. The lady consoled me to wait for some time and being tired from my happiest journey I slept. That was the most calm sleep I ever had after coming here. I slept with a hope for a real good morning instead of a virtual one. But to my hard luck I got nothing neither real nor virtual.

It was my first day here when I got to know everything. I had always noticed a certain difference in my parent’s behaviour with me comparing to other parents with their kids. But I never bothered about it, I always use to think it could be because of my shy nature. I am an introvert since childhood. But I have always thought being introvert is my strength for I can listen to peoples very calmly. It was that day only I was proved wrong. But my that birthday had changed my life forever. I was just a kid that time who being normal want to go to school, make friends, want to share each minute detail if my day with my parents but all these things turned out to be a just dream for me. With each passing day I tried my best to contact my parents, sent numerous letters to them, called n times in a day just to get the answer of a single question.

But the things were far beyond my reach. Each thing with me was not just awkward but weird as well. I was just made to stay away from them means in any case I should not be in contact with them- My Parents. I was admitted to quite good school. I was provided the proper education I could ask for. I had all the materialistic things I could ask for but the kid at age of six need affection, care which was no where to be seen. I was seven only when I had learnt to do almost each chore of mine, myself. Starting from getting ready to school followed by packing my tiffen accompanied by washing my own dishes for all three time meal and finally ended by accepting the reality of my life. The lady who accompanied me handled all my emotions, my late night crying to my morning sadness. She was the one who did her best to help me.

dreaming The time passed with its pace but my emotions were still stuck at my place. With each passing day I missed my home my parents everyone out there much more but it was of no use. For I was not at all missed there. Four years passed on like this but there was no sign of my family no phone call no letter nothing. Every year the worst day of my life come(my birthday) and went off like every another day. Then came another worst day of my life. My only hope my aunt left off. The girl just 10 years old was left all alone in a big two bed room apartment. Those were the most fearful nights. I could always feel somebody is noticing me, following me and cursing me all the time. Every time I close my eyes I feel like somebody is lying near me sometimes on me. Those were the most dread moments of my life. These went for an year

Due to all my fear and anxiety i was completely lost at my academics but since most of the teachers know my background none of them bothered much about me. But as it is said there’s always the light behind darkness, I finally got the light of my life. A lady from my neighbour step up to help me. She was my teacher as well. She once called me home and asked everything about me. After so many years I heard a loved voice. She gave me so much affection and love within an hour that I had no hope of recieving ever. She had so many questions but I had just one answer “I don’t know” for that is the truth of my life, I actually don’t know. But that day I really got my only hope I ever could wish for. She had a son and a daughter a lovely family and they all accepted me like their own. I still had to sleep alone in my apartment but that fear of being alone has now gone forever. Her love and affection has strengthened me. They have taught me importance of life, a life which is a most valuable thing we have which we all should live to the fullest. I scored well afterward and completed my education the way I have always dreamt of.

Now I live much better life than expected. I am a teacher now and the most favorite person of all my neighbours for I am the teacher of their children. I not only teach the my neighbour’s children but also their servant’s children. All of them know everything about me and treat me as their family. Its been 18 years now I am living here. I was six and now I am 24. Many things have changed in these 18 years. I have completely given up on my family. For the truth is that yes I do not have any of my blood relations but I have all the relations which are much more than the so called blood relations for me. They have always supported me helped me and most important believed in me. It is not that I have no respect left for my parents, they are still my possession. It is because of them only I got so many beautiful peoples in my life. I am really thankful to them for sending me here because of them only I am able to overcome the most dreadful pain of life “being alone”. Now I celebrate my birthdays as well for as I said I have learnt the importance of life. But I still don’t know why I was sent here. Honestly I have no expectations from my family but I do hope to get to know this reason once in my lifetime.

A simple life quote to follow:

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future. Concentrate the mind on the present moment”.

From Father of Nation to The Modern-Day Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi, ‘the Father of Nation’ has been cremated almost six decades ago but his ideology still continues to live. You all will be glad on knowing this that our Bapu still lives among us, he is still with us spreading his messages of truth and non-violence.
Yes, on not more than the distance of 100 metres away from Rajghat, lives Mahesh Chaturvedi, a man of 68-years-old who looks and lives like Gandhi. A man who was earlier a professor, but in 2002 he left his job. He says, “Gandhi came to me one night and I left everything.”

Dressed in crisp white dhoti with a gamcha (towel) over his shoulders and rimmed spectacles he has made the message of Mahatma. He preaches Gandhi’s teachings and wants to spread the message of truth and non-violence all over the world. On first glance, the resemblance between him and Gandhi is striking as apart from that he can also mimic his voice and he greets people by folding his hands and by saying “Ram Ram” with a simple smile on his face. Over the phone every conversation of modern Gandhi begins with “Vande Mataram.”

This modern Gandhi, travels in metro, goes to mall for powdered milk and he often ditches his stick his stick for an escalator.

According to HT, he rebuffs queries about his “past life” and doesn’t say how he sustains himself without a job. Many of the local people says that he has some devotees who puts money in his bank account.
His leaflet reads, “Leave India, brown Englishmen” as he is looking for a country who is free from the corrupted political system. “The British left India but their influence remains. I don’t oppose English language but the feudal mindset needs to go for the poor to prosper.” Says modern Gandhi. He has also written letters to prime ministers and presidents regarding the same but all were unsuccessful. “One person can change the world.” He says and so he never loose hope and continues to spread his message all over the world.
In spite of all this, he says that the times have changed and so military action is necessary and doesn’t flinch from praising soldiers. But what about the Mahatma’s famous non-violent methods? “Times have changed. If you extend one cheek after a slap, people will hit you thrice.”

Are You guys ready to explore a new, beautiful world leaving all irrelevant beliefs behind. So here you go…Now every girl should need to think like this—

Yes i am gorgeous. Smart and damn strong. No one can define my beauty , my Grace , my body. Feminism is something to be celebrated. But these days is it’s all so lame , the so called disease of being trendy and cool is making everyone sick. Every women is beautiful. Unfortunately now its all about skin show, exposure and turning hippy. Weird accessories with a pathetic sense of fashion. People are just blindly following the crowd without using their own senses.

Comfort Zone

I am against body shaming and bullying, but we cannot deny we all have different body types, and just to prove ourselves being a part of this fashionista rat race we force ourselves into any sort of dress and without realising how funny we look. There is a difference between centre of attraction and centre of laughter. If many eyes are turning on u its not always to appreciate , but sometimes to mock. Fashion is being graceful, elegant, carrying yourself with confidence and most importantly you must feel comfortable in what you wear, it can be either acessories or any dress. And might be the smallest of things like a mere handbag, earings, or even shoes. We all need to get this very necessary thing straight into our heads that we make fashion it is for us , to enhance our beauty not to makes us feel bad about ourselves & that is what we call style.

Proper Knowledge

The most essential thing is proper or atleast basic knowledge. We all know that beauty lies within ourselves, but then we Also hear many jokes or even saw many trolls on that. We dont have an x- ray in our eyes to see inner beauty. Right, i agree but just think if you are happy , confident , comfortable , calm from inside isn’t that going to affect the glow on your face. A happy face looks far better than a face with loads of make up with no confidence. Doing over with yourself in any aspect will always make you conscious. So this what we call as fashion and beauty. No a big and clear no is the only answer. Now lets start with basic things.

Always look presentable, it nothing has to do with make up , it means staying hygenic, wearing decent clothes, smelling good.

If you want to go for accessories , try something that comlients you , your attire.

Dress according to your age.

Dont push yourself for those tights, if you have a broad structure, and if you are slim dont try to look over slim its not cool at all you can try the stuff that makes you look normal like balloon style. Over in everything is bad even kareena kapoor who once achieve size zero says that she never wants to have it again. So use your senses wisely.

Dont go for too shiny stuff. It looks tacky. Simlicity is classy.

Dont be too harsh with you hair. Show some love for them, simply shampoed, nicely comb, looks perfecf than any other hair style and even this specific open hair thing go for every occassion with a very little style, like a small front flick it can work out.

The Super Secret

Girls i am not against anything fashion, dresses accessories , being trendy or cool. I am against your pain, your anguish, your feelings of self pity, self hatred due to these so called fashion races. Think is there seriously any need of taking so much mental pressure, cursing your looks , your complexion , your body type, your hair every day every moment, that intense public fear. I know people who love taking pictures but avoid them due to same reason, people who dont like to face mirror.

You know what, these are two basic things that i strongly feel we all have fail to understand badly but before that remember now we are leaving destructive things far behind, and going for the constructive things.

Just be optimistic and start to work out.

If you start to love yourself that will be all just take bath everyday , try never to skip it, wash your hair at least thrice a week and if you can massage them before washing you can have long lustrous hair in two months or so. Because if you take bath everyday you will look fresh as a flower , like a morning dew, and your beautiful hair will be an add on to enhance your beauty.

This is the ultimate and most important factor Staying Fit. If you look fit everything will look good on you and apart from beauty by exercising, by keep a check on your food, and then its all good if you eat healthy you can stay away from many chronic diseases, strokes, depression , diabities. There is no snake oil. Many scientific researches have proved exercise is benfitial for all age groups. It leads to glow, flexibility , increase in stamina , better sleep and most importantly a long and healthy life. I know its not easy to cut down you fat or extra inches which can be due to many reasons but there is no harm in trying , if you keep trying then definitely you will get something because when you leave all your excuses you will found your results. So stop thinking and blaming just give it a shot.

I firmly believe beauty and fitness are co related , fitness and happiness leads to beauty and it leads to confidence. But always remember miracles never happen overnight you must need to stop doing complaints and start from now onwards. Its never too late. Last but not the least if you look wonderful in what you carry then people will follow you, your style , you can be a trend setter. But never try to get into others’s shoes , you can create your own magic with a little pinch of optimism. And above all ultimately its all about YOU , go do it for yourself and not for anyone or anything. Remember might be you are not like others but surely you are better than the rest. Just learn to have faith in your choices and prefernces and you are gonna rock it…
Go girl you can do it…
