for a special friend

Thousand miles we are apart

But you always stay in my heart

You never let me feel alone

Even when everyone is gone

The love you always share

And the way you care

When you are near

Everything else disappear

Whenever you don’t meet

My day seems incomplete

Life brings something new

I wish it’s always you

You are friend forever

Never leave me ever

I pray to God

Please bless my friend

Her happiness…should never end !!

A Beautiful Girl !!

Relationship Status :

Male - Single or Committed

Female – Committed or Complicated

This is not a new trend but an untold truth. There are plenty of people like me. But I don’t think there would be any girl in my campus who is still single only exceptions. Is it a result of poor male : female ratio. . May be.

But I got fascinated by a girl and that too after a year. After the end of 1^st year, I went for my intern in Delhi. Most of my work involves research work so I searched about her too taking it as an additional assignment. Being a marketing guy I searched the whole data base tried to reach every corner whatever possible, finding information about her.

Well my research says, she is an introvert person and a nomad who loves traveling. She travels and shares her own experiences. She is the reason I write blog.

She is beautiful. She moves like a river and her eyes looks like sparkling stars.

I wait for

your scintillating eyes

when you look from the corner,

your fascinating smile

which brings the sunshine,

 the feel of breeze

when you are nearby,

I wait for the Day

When you will say Hi,

Looking at you watching the movie

And murmur of your voice,

Me holding my breath

When you pass by,

You walks down the road

And never say good bye

In the end everything looks like a dream. But I can’t realize  that dream because I have lost my sleep.

Freedom

It’s raining here and Monsoon is just the best in Pune to enjoy the splashes of rain and me sitting here at the top of my college building and wondering while looking at the unending horizons…what is it that which will make me free? 

 Mind says its career, money, power, influence and fame which enable you to rule the materialistic world whereas the heart says its love, family and friends who empowers your emotional world and gives you the strength to fight. Well, I agree with both as I need them to survive. If you ask a 10 yr old child what he wants on his birthday then you must be expecting that he will say a bicycle or a cricket bat but when you actually do ask you will get Laptop as a reply. Nothing is wrong in that it’s just the aspirations of the kid and when you aspire you want the best. So when the mind overpowers, you want the best for yourself which never happens as we always keep pushing ourselves.

                                                                                             

The heart asks for love, warmth, affection and sense of belonging. In the past few days I have realized that what attracts and fascinates you is not what you want and what you feel by heart is more meaningful.

 

Heart says what it feels and mind says what it decides and people get confused when they contradicts which is absolutely natural. The only difference is, you need to experience it in order to feel about it so that you can listen to your heart but mind doesn’t need it necessarily. 

So what is the solution to get contented?

Mind and Heart echoes “It’s Freedom”.

Freedom from what? Is it money, power or emotional insecurity? There is no end to it and it keeps on coming to you again and over again. Family, friends and money all are necessities to exist and survive in this world. They are an inevitable part of our lives.

The question hasn’t answered yet and still goggling in the tunnels of confusion, illusion, perception and justification. I don’t know whether I am right or wrong but flashes of light in the unending tunnel says

It’s Freedom.

I need freedom from greed which holds me back in the materialistic world, freedom from limits which hinders my aspirations, freedom from pessimism which shatters my dreams, freedom from the principles which doesn’t fit into my journey and freedom from ego, fear, vindictiveness and lust. Life is worth living only when you have the power to stand alone , the unending fire within your heart, if you have the courage to make mistakes and learn from them and above all a blind faith in God.

 Light cannot exist without darkness, so embrace your darkness.

Small is Beautiful !!

In the scorching summers of Delhi if somebody wants to go out on a weekend …where would he will  go? May be on a hill station…if working or staying out of hometown then probably back home or at the most on a date with his girl friend…….you might be surprised to find out  where I went…..its Rajasthan. Yes I got an invitation from my senior to visit Ajmer. 

On a sunny Saturday morning we started our journey….we…oh I forgot to tell you about my another senior Nikhil who went along with me. He stays in Gurgaon and works in a VAS company which he has recently joined. We woke up late so instead of metro we took an auto rickshaw by shelling out Rs 30/- extra. That’s what happens when you party late night and talks about college days holding a bottle of Beer in your hand, gulping one after the other.

                                            

Finally, From sarai Rohilla boarded Garib Rath train which actually made us Garib. We got confirmed ticket a day before the journey but the congested seats….Phew. Somehow managed to sneak in and spent 7 hrs playing my iPod. Reached Ajmer at 4.30 in the evening and Amish was there to receive us. His family gave us a warm welcome. He never told us that he had two cute doggies in his family. They just look cute but actually they are not. We had pyaj ki kachori n big samosa which Amish said is very famous in Ajmer. They were too hot for me and I ended up drinking a full bottle of water.

                                                   

We left for Pushpak temple ( the only temple of Brahma as people out there said so ). There is a sunset point near the temple where you will find a pond and people during the holy season takes bath in it. Wherever I went saw only 1 thing except gurudwaras…More the money you offer in your pray, more will be the blessings. 100 Bucks will make the Pandit murmur mantra’s on your behalf. Amish and Nikhil ate Malpuae and Rabri and I just tasted because already stuffed with samosa and kachori. So I preferred a chilled Sugarcane juice to satiate my thirst.

Had a wonderful dinner cooked by Amish’s mum and she stuffed us till our stomach came on the verge to burst out.

In the morning we went to Ajmer Sharif Durgah. Bought a sheet (chadar) to offer during the pray and the shopkeeper himself took us into the Durgah. I thought, he is a good guy who wants to delight his customers. Inside the holy place, it’s like a square. The holy Durgah was located inside the inner square and people were moving on the outer. The inner square was filled with people who took offerings from pilgrims where I found the shopkeeper shouting towards us. I was surprised to found him out there and he took sheets from us and prayed then he asked for offering (money). Then I realised what the real deal is. People are too hungry for money. When you pray and wish for something then you need to tie a thread out there. I did so and came out. Outside the Durgah you will find lots of shops. But beware of beggars and pocket pickers.

 Amish Daniell and his affectionate family made this visit very special. we left at 3.20 and  came back Delhi via shatabdi.

 I can feel the joy, happiness for being there. The vast diversity in people in their religion, culture and language makes it more beautiful. Ajmer is a small city and every journey will teach you something.

 ‘Small is Beautiful’.

Life is a journey so keep moving!!

Marketing... !!

After a hectic half in the company, I went for a cup of tea and enjoyed a funny moment along with my MUNNI.

I asked a 12 yr old kid for a tea who was running that tea stall.

Me : Ek chai dena...
Kid : Kaun c...
Me : Kaun c Matlab....
Kid : Dabang..Munni...ya Sheela !!
Me : Munni ..sheela  :o 
Me : Kya special hai isme yaar....
Kid : Badi wali Dabang......sabse chooti sheela....

So I had Munni....which is in between sheela n Dabang !!. 

Marketing has unending Horizons....Funny but lesson learned.

What ever you do make it feel good n look good.
