Believe !!


Saw a 9 year old boy sitting on the table next to mine ask the waiter ‘how much does a cone ice cream cost !?’ the waiter replied : ‘Rs. 15’ young boy checked his pocket and asked ‘how much for a small cone!?’ irritated waiter angrily : Rs 12. The young boy ordered a small cone, had it, paid the bill and left. When the waiter came to pick the EMPTY PLATE, tears rolled down his eyes and his lips dropped ‘Allah’. The boy had left Rs. 3 as TIP for him !!

Give everyone SOMETHING of what you have!! That’s a Lesson I learnt from the chocolacious 9 year old!!!!!!! I am suprised and amazed to believe the new generation!??!!! Feels like forever when I was 9..kids = young adults !?!! Thinking, maturity, innovative mind and fashion, talk about one definition that 21st century youngsters haven’t taken to a new level of their existence!

I was so impressed that I ran after the cute boy and asked him for his name and age!? Suprised to my attention he Exclaimed I’m not very young anymore, I have turned 9 this june, and you are conversing with Russell, young lady extending his hand for a handshake!

In the perfect ‘awww’ of a chivalrous dream lover, I couldn’t stop myself from telling him that I am glad to see youngsters like you him exist at this age already !?!! to which he added mom always say ‘Don’t stoop low to find ‘em, stand tall they’ll find you !!’

I had been really STRONG in my train of thoughts about the youth (the class 12th pass outs and college students majorly) being really silly for all they love is DRUGS, SEX, MUSIC, RELATIONSHIPS and FASHION! Indeed if I had to gist the entire thought I would exclaim ‘Hep goes the generation, pop goes the culture!’ because I have seen couple’s who are happy to convey you can 'touch' me but not 'touch' my cell phone !???! he he :p looks like He : Lets commit a Suicide and stay together forever, She : Sure, you jump, I’ll follow you, my love..He : Jumps off the roof, She : closes her eyes and walks away, conveniently saying ‘Love is Blind’..HE : opens the parachute in the air saying ‘Love Never Dies’ Lolllzzz J though after meeting Russell, I’d say lie lies right in the middle of ‘Believe = Be-lie-ve’

It can be read as “BE lie negative too !?!!!” Truth shifts its paradigm timely & conveniently in just what YOU BELIEVE!

Belief’s perish, smiles fade..tears replenish..and life – Goes On !!

P.S : That's one small drop for a man, one giant leak for the mankind ! What Say !?

The X Factor !!


Life is a full circle :-) indeed..I believe in karma what you give is what you get in return.

Sonu Nigam's new TV Show.- X Factor..mind blowing is the experience for heart and a treat for eyes..The person was a struggler once and look at him now. Salutes to him ever since his album 'Deewana' was launched in '99. India has incredible talent and few contestants just make you drop your jaw in aww at their best. Recently there was a contestant who just left me spell bound with his performance. Honestly when he walked in, it was a feeler that he will be out. You know how it is when you think you know it all. More so he self claimed to not know music at all and was heartily thankful for the sponsor's of the show to have made him meet Sonu Nigam - being his godly figure, so even the judges Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal and Sanjay Leela Bhansali were expecting a bideu, however there was a twist, this guy started his Performance and there you go !! I am still spell bound recalling the entire experience, he made musical sounds from his vocals..vollahh !!

Left me to think that its not always what you think you know is the ultimate truth and the END. There’s a lot one doesn’t know at times and there’s a lot more that awaits a belief !

Exactly one year and life’s back to the mundane grind, promoted now with demanding job responsibilities. Feel victorious and satisfaction is at its Best. No love in life can match the love for food which comes from the hunger behind that develops after a long day of struggle and sweat. Decisions are always a mandate. Right or wrong is just relative, and follows.

June Tenth - Old enough to know what’s wrong, young enough to do it anyway! Promotion and new job role seemed to have been waiting for the right time to knock my door of life. 4 days before my big day I joined the grind and boy what a feeling !!

The big day - bombastic start of the day with heavy rainfall making the city look green and air fresh. Office morning on a friday was never so exciting, warm wishes from the new faces and few old one’s. Cake cutting ceremony and an early retreat from work, million phone calls, texts, e-mails, photo session amidst a drive to my darling Pia and bhabhi following another drive to The Kingdom Of Dreams. Camera is at its best when the faces captured are pleasant, the place is heaven on earth. After Disney land expedition in Hong Kong, Macau, its the second place I loved and am mesmerized with the food, people, colours, decor, the place is just a dream and gives you a heavenly experience.

After having a ball of a time venturing the tasty food at the cultural gully, it was now time to relish the spritual feast, Zangora – the story of the prince and the princess of a jungle. The Famous Gauhar Khan and Hussain (Indian Music album and Television star's respectively) played the leads, the story revolves around the princess named SONALI, the magical effects and costumes with the bollywood mix is one spectacular treat to the eyes with super hit bollywood numbers being performed on by the famous dancers trained by Shaimak Davar. Wonderful experience in totality. The place is a success ever since it was inaugurated by Shah Rukh Khan our king of hearts. Watching it was not less than a movie as the duration is close to 3 hours and leaves you in the world of angels. Grand Finale - The dancers ran to us and pulled us to dance, and I just said its my birthday, like they were waiting to hear it, and within minutes I was wished by Hussain and Gauhar Khan 'A Very Happy Birthday - on stage' wwhat more can you ask for, on your special Ddy. I felt like a princess as was dressed as the gypsy princess myself :-) hearing my name more than often as part of the play, it just made my day. Pia my lil niece jumped all through out with joy and lived twice at once, we couldn’t manage a Cake at the Kingdom and poor thing just kept asking me ‘Sonali di Cake kab kaateingey’ She’s a darling and my reason to live practically !!

On the way back to drop bhabhi and my lil doll, I pulled out another meeting with my birthday buddy. Dropped my family, met my buddy, we drove till my home, I parked my car, and we drove to grab a bite at GK-II at 3 am hada blast on the way all excited about our bird day he he :p felt like diwali for us because we could say ‘same to you’ in reply to 'wish you a very happy birthday’ to each other he he :p

lovely day, prosperous time of the year and being the number 1, that I am, I am ruling my happiness yet again in synchronization with my X Factor. Luck !! Its indeed a perfect blend of luck and blessings of the lord above in my Life.

The X factor or The Ex factor leads to The NEXT chapter of success in life, its just how well you learn to let go, holding on is not the sign of weakness since its not easy, because it defines the strength in you. Judge not and you will not be judged, condemn not and you will not be condemned, give and it will be given to you, running over, happiness, love and harmony will be put in your lap for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.

P.S : When you loose some one you love, its never exactly the same person who comes back ! By the time he realised she was the one for him, she was waking up with the Man who knew it already ;-)
