Money💰💰💰 is SOMETHING

Most of the time we human invest our time in earning happiness☺:D:). Well, i know you think i should have written “earning money” instead of “earning happiness” but isn’t it true that you earn money💰💰💰 to bring happiness in your life? Ahhhh…it may seem rude😯😯😯 on my side to write these harsh🔨🔨🔨 words but the fact is fact. We all earn money to buy the happiness which we crave for. Don’t we???

I am not complaining or criticising this so called crave of humans for money. Infact, i agree that in words, money is no match to real happiness but if you see the real or practical side of human life, money is the real face of happiness in this world. Whatever you need in your life it costs you something and maximum times that cost can be paid in terms of money. I am not that kinda person whose sole motive is to prove the worth of money in human life. Yet, i know that money has its own place in our lives. And none of us can deny this fact. I have heard people saying,”Love💕💞💏💑 is enough for someone to live happily.” I mean seriously??? Is it the only necessity??? Think yourself and i am sure you will hit the answer.
Well, don’t get me wrong. But i can prove this. Right now you are reading my post. Didn’t you pay a single penny to read my ideas. Ofcourse, you did. No??? Oh come on you did atleast pay for the internet connection😛😜😝. Not satisfied yet😎😎😎???
Okay, it was your beloved💑💏👫 one’s birthday and you wanted to shower🌈☁🌂☔ all the happiness😍😘😄 of the world over her/him. And what did you do???
Ofcourse you arranged a surprise party🎄🎉🎂🎈🎊 and purchased the most beautiful gift🎁. And how did you make all these things possible. Well, you just did the purchases and the rest was done by money. Tell me if i’m wrong here.
I know, i’m not:):):).
Don’t know whether i did convince you or not. But i tried my level best. Concluding my post with these words –
“Though
money can’t be everything,
yet
it is something
to buy that everything.”

Once upon a time…

Do you remember the days when your grandpa or grandmother used to recite the bed time stories for you? You surely do. ☺

Each of those stories began with that famous and familiar tag line,”Once upon a time…………….” What a beautiful suspense it always had been to eagerly wait for the climaxes and find out the way they ended dramatically. How wonderful it felt when there suddenly came a twist or turn in the story. How amazing it was to raise queries about the different characters and their roles. Well that was the most beautiful era of our lives. Yes our childhood which, with the course of time has disappeared completely or rather i should write it has gone forever. 😈

Now, when i look back and rewind the memories of my childhood, that famous tag line keeps hitting the walls of my mind,

“Once upon a time,
there was a child.
Innocent, quiet,
sweet but little wild.
Free from the shackles of
hatred & jealousy.
Craving for the care of
mommy & daddy.
What a life it was,
no worries, only joy.
I wish if i could
go back and enjoy.
No rule, no regulations,
no limits, no restrictions.
No brutal realities,
only fairy tales.
I miss that life,
i wish that life.
But how could i,
And how could thy.
No more childhood,
no more cute smile.
Keep singing to feel good,
Once upon a time…”

I am my dad’s Xerox Copy

I still remember the day when i shared my father’s picture on my FB wall and one of my friends commented,”Hey, Manjeet you are your dad’s xerox copy.” 🙂

After reading this comment in my comment box i was feeling like “WOW”. 🙂 And you won’t believe that this comment was much more wonderful than those comments which complimented my earlier pictures and specially my profile pictures. 🙂

Don’t know why but i actually felt good. I told dad about it. He looked at me, smiled and said,”Really?” And i replied,”Yes, dad really.” And we both smiled together. 🙂

Well, i know after reading above lines you all would have started thinking,”Has she gone mad? What’s the big deal here? Every child is an exact copy of her/his father. What’s new that she is telling us here?”

I do know that but i must tell you that it feels awesome when someone compliments you like that. 😀

Fathers are really very darling and sometimes over-protective too. 😉 Yet they do love you from the depth of their hearts. And sometimes much more than mothers. But don’t you think fathers often get neglected? Sometimes, i do think so.

See, though i love my dad a lot and i have tried to pamper him many a times. Yet something is always missing. I am too close to my dad, i discuss almost everything with him, i reveals every secret of my life before him. Whenever i have to lessen my job’s pressure i discuss it with him, sometimes he listens carefully and sometimes he ignores because he knows that i am too complaining. 😛

I still remember, once someone said something very bad about me and i was so furious to hear that and that very thought was killing me,”How could someone even think that rubbish about me?” Then my dad just said a few words and those words healed every wound of mine. And those words were,”Dear, you can not please everyone in this world.” :-*

I wanna recollect one more moment here when he ringed me once and asked me to leave the past behind. At that very moment my continuous failures had broken me in such a way that i was almost ready to quit the fight. But his call and his words were no less than a savoir. His selfless encouragement has always searched a ray of hope in despair. 🙂

I know he deserves a thank, infact a big thank. I don’t know how and in what way i am gonna be able to pay my special thanks to my father. Though sometimes i feel like hugging my dad and saying,”I love you papa.” But i have never done this. May be some day i will let him know about this by doing the act of #HugYourDad and shout in his ears,“I love you Papa, i really love you and i thank you for being my dad.”

“This father’s day, I am expressing my love towards my dad by participating in the #HugYourDad activity at BlogAdda in association with Vicks.”

LOVE isn’t BLIND

(This image is my own creation which i drew on my cell phone)

They say,“Love is blind and it sees nothing.”

Sometimes, i really don’t understand that why people have nurtured this biased thought about love in their minds. I know when you are in love, you see nothing, you listen to no one, you bother about not even a single thing. But that doesn’t mean that love is blind. Love actually sees everything, notices every small aspect of partner’s personality and i won’t exaggerate by saying that it keeps a full-proof vigilance too.

Some people say that a person who falls in love with someone becomes totally blind in her/his love. S/he keeps a blind faith in her/his lover. Well, somehow it is true. Love brings faith. It makes you believe that your partner is worth trusting. Well, if you won’t have faith then believe me your relations can’t survive for long. Trust is the pre-requisite for any bond to be established between two individuals. And this trust somehow makes you believe that you need not worry about anything. And what you simply have to do is to keep a firm faith in everything which is said or done by your partner. Don’t consider me wrong here. I am not suggesting you to put a blind faith in your partner. I am sorry to say but a blind faith is gonna be actually harmful for the health of your relationship.

Yes, you have to ignore things sometimes, you have to shut your mouth, you have to remain in a silent observer. And ofcourse many a times you have to leave this complaining habit of yours. But tell me seriously. Does it make you blind in love? Oh please, don’t tell me that you do think that all above mentioned acts are symptoms of love blindness.

Loving someone means caring for every small thing connected to that person. But that doesn’t mean that you should just close your eyes. Well, no one would ever recommend you that stupid thing. And believe me you yourself won’t do it at any cost. In case you are married or committed, just rewind the CD of you love life and go back a while. Now try to recollect all those moments when you didn’t remain blind in love. You will perhaps gather many such moments. Where you noticed, yet ignored somethings. Well, that’s what i wanna write here. You see everything but simply ignore.

Yes, you ignore. And my friend this proves that LOVE isn’t BLIND.

As Fresh as Getting a new Life

Rehan had just planned to give a perfect surprise to his mom. He got his tickets done from Pune to New Delhi and was leaving for Delhi same night. Rehan’s mom had a typical habit to call him every night before going to bed. So that night too his cell phone ringed and he saw his mom’s picture appearing on his cell with the ringtone “Tu sab jaanti hai naa maa…”

He picked the call. As the train sound was audible so his mom asked him,”Where are you my son? It seems to me as if you are in train?” Rehan didn’t wanna ruin the suspense of his well planned surprise so he said,”Wow mom, not a bad guess? 😉 Well i am on an official journey.” Afterwards his mom didn’t ask much about the train. Perhaps he had been able to convince her in his own perfect way. 😉
It took him almost 24 hours to visit his destination i.e. Delhi. And as soon as he reached his society he called his mom. It was around 10 or 11. His mom got little worried to see his call at that hour of night. She said,”Everything is fine my son, you are calling so late?” He answered,”Mom first open the door and then ask whatever you wanna ask.” She got confused. The door bell rang. And as she opened the door, she literally started crying. Rehan hugged her tightly and said,”Mom i love you.” His mom said,”I love you too my son.”

Next morning his mom made all the delicious food for him. Though she wasn’t in a good health condition yet she was so enthusiastic about her son’s lovely surprise that she forgot her tiredness and did everything which could make feel Rehan happy. In the evening Rehan was sitting in his mom’s room with her cupboard open. When his mom saw him, she asked,”What are you searching in my cupboard?” He said,”I am gonna take you out and i am searching the perfect dress for you. And here i found it.” He asked his mother to wear the saree he selected for her. She merrily did so. And he took her to a concert.

And the concert began with a melodious background sound with dim lights and then there was a BANG, the stage was in a circular form and when it started rotating and it faced the audience, OMG you won’t believe it was the dashing and energetic, Allu Arjun with none other than the lady with the sizzling sound, Anushka Manchanda. The crowd went mad. Rehan’s mom couldn’t believe as she had watched Allu’s movies and had heard Anushka’s Dum Dum Maro Dum many a times. She was actually surprised. The concert went for two and a half hours and despite being an old lady Rehan’s mom enjoyed every beat, every step and every word there. She was feeling a strange kinda energy moving throughout her body. When the concert ended Rehan took her for a dinner.

After dinner they enjoyed some desert and when they were at home, Rehan asked his mom,”Hey mom how was the concert?”

His mom replied,”As refreshing and energetic as getting a new life. Thank you my son for giving me a chance to be a part of such a fresh experience, as fresh as #MaxFreshMove .” :-*

Winged Wishes

“A wish is a dream woven by our heart and seen by our eyes…!”

We all are desperate souls. Hey don’t take me otherwise. By desperate i mean we all are desperate for some things in our lives. Well, things here aren’t things actually. By things i mean some wishes which we all are nurturing somewhere deep down in our hearts. Some wishes which actually have no real connection with this real world. Strange but true.

I know…i know. You haven’t been able to fathom the depth of my thoughts. Well, that is my style you know. You should try maintaining a confused type of expression in the minds of your readers. 😛

Ahhh… Well, i am coming to it. You read the title of my post? Ofcourse you did. 😉

Okay then let me make it clear, i am talking about some of the most stupid and silliest wishes which we all have in our lives. Like planning a full proof future with our crush. Though you have complete idea about the thing that s/he even doesn’t have any idea about your exixtenc. I mean you don’t even exist for her/him. But, see, your heart, it won’t consider all this and perhaps it will simply let you wish for the most craziest thing of the world i.e. a beautiful future with your crush.

This was just an ordinary demonstration of our craziest wishes. Perhaps this list isn’t too small. You may have a more stupid wish. May be to make a house on any of the clouds, or may be to have a dream house on the top of the world’s highest peak, or may be going back and changing your destiny. So, basically we all have such crazy wishes which actually aren’t that much easy to be fulfilled. I wanna name them as “WINGED WISHES” . Why??? The simplest answer i can provide you is that these wishes are just like birds, they are flying so high that it is just impossible to catch them. They can go anywhere, they can come from any place. These are wishes with invisible wings which fly in the sky of our heart and keep flying continuously one after another. No stopping, no hindrance, no blockage.

I don’t wanna ruin their flight. I just wanna let them fly. Though nurturing such thoughts and keeping such wishes are sometimes considered as the most foolish act of humans. But i still wanna make such a wish. I still wanna have a winged wish. And by the way being a human i am supposed to wish some stupid things because you never know someday one of such wishes can come true. 🙂

I would love to reply to your comments. 🙂

Mother’s Love♥♥♥

“There is nothing in the whole world like MOTHER’S LOVE ♥♥♥…!”

I know you all will agree with me on this point. Well, the lady who keep a child in her womb for months, who nurtured that child with her own flesh is no less than a GODDESS. Sometimes, i really don’t get the right words to thank my mother for giving me a chance to be a part of this beautiful world. I wanna find those words in which i can express my thankfulness to her. I wanna let her know that i am living on this beautiful planet only because of her. It was she who bore all the pain and gave the first breath to me.

I know being a mother isn’t so easy. But i proudly say that my mother has performed this job very well. She not only gave me life but also introduced me to all the realities of life. She is #MyFirstExpert . She is my first guide, my first teacher. She is the one who let me know the difference between reality and myth. She taught me the very first lesson of my life. She taught me how to speak, how to stand on my own legs, how to behave well, how to be a part of society, how to prosper relationships, how to strengthen my belief and more than that she told me what it means to be a woman.

I still remember when once mom got ill, she was very sick, dad got her hospitalized. It was festival season. Though mom wasn’t in a good condition, yet she told me and my elder sister to fulfill all the rituals of Deepawali festival. She told both of us to take care of our younger siblings. I can’t even write in words how bad i was feeling at that moment. Dad was really very upset. We all kept praying to GOD to take care of her and keep her healthy. When she got discharged from the hospital we were on cloud nine. It was a Deepawali gift from GOD to us. We all were very thankful to the Almighty for showing his mercy. I still remember after coming back from hospital mom wasn’t able to do the household chores and this made her feel very bad. As me and my elder sister were having board exams that year. She was always cursing her destiny. She always complained that my girls were suffereing because of my illness. Sometimes she even cried too. But we children told her not be worried as we all had grown enough to take a good care of our mother. This dialogue always put a sweet smile on her lips.

Days passed, years were lost in the calender and all these moments became memories. Some are remembered as good ones and some as bad ones. But the one thing which i really admire about my family is that no bad time could ever break the bond of love among us. And it was all because of my mother. It was her love, it was a mother’s love which reflected back in her children’s care and a wife’s love which was shown back in her husband’s tenderness. And this love kept us together.

With this post i wanna thank the most beautiful lady with the most beautiful heart in my life.

“Hey MOM , though i have said it many times, yet i really wanna let you know this agin that i really LOVE you a lot…!”

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

We humans are very social by nature. And it is just impossible for us to live without society. No one has ever been able to live alone. Every human needs someone in his or her life. Otherwise life would become hell.
Being social means you are not alone. You have a family, you have relatives, you have neighbors and you have friends. And somehow each of these play a very important role in our lives. What my post is concerned with is the role which friends play in our lives. I know you all have read a lot about friendship. So, in this post you won’t get anything new. May be same old wine in a new bottle. 😛
But atleast let me have a say. 🙂
So, what i am gonna write about is friends and friendship. Who is a friend? A person who knows us much more than our family. The one who understands us so much that he or she can easily notice the swings in our moods. A person who though doesn’t stay with us everytime but still remains with us everytime. We all have friends and we all make friends. I just can’t imagine a life without a friend. Sometimes we won’t let our heart get opened before our family but we will easily reveal every single secret of life before our friend. There may be many definitions for friends and friendship but still no one knows what actually this relationship is. No one has got the fact how two strangers come so close that they become best buddies and that too forever. Sometimes, it feels to me that friendship is a kinda magic or charm which actually works so beautifully that we all love the bond formed under friendship.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. You all might have heard this famous line. Well, i do believe in the essence of this line. I know not everyone is so lucky to get best friends in his or her life. But, you know what, friends are friends, there is no good, better and best in friendship. And yes, sometimes some people are such lovely souls that you actually find your best friends in them. I hope you are lucky enough to have friends in your life. No matter they are best or worst but friends, they add life to our life.
I dedicate this post to all my ♥ly friends. Guys you are part of my life and you all have a special place in my ♥.

I would love if you will leave a comment in the comment box.

ME vs. WE

We humans are bounded by many responsibilities. And if we just ignore them then life becomes hell as no one can live a lonely life. We all need people around us. Either family or friends or someone special, we always need someone in our lives. But sometimes we get indulged so much in the company of others that we actually forget ourselves. And this is the topic about which i am gonna write here.
I know it would sound awkward if i write that in the fight of ME vs. WE , we sometimes need to let ME win. 🙂
Not every person in this world is lucky to have a perfect life. But yes, if we try then even everyone of us can hopefully get a good life, if not perfect one. 😀
I am not a magician who will just move her magic wand and change a boring life into exciting one. But…But…But…i do believe that if we start looking after the person whom we daily see in our mirror then definitely one day our life can be the one we dream about. If you still haven’t got my point then let me be more clear. What i wanna write here is that it’s really good if you are fulfilling all your duties towards your family and society but make sure that these duties shouldn’t be the hurdles in the way of your self development or rather i should write your self improvement.
You are a good father or mother, you are a good son or daughter, you are a good brother or sister, you are a good husband or wife, you are a good friend or lover, but all this goodness is a total waste of time if you are not good to your own self. Every soul needs care and tenderness. And if you don’t feed your soul with the nutrients of self care then clearly you won’t be able to care for others too. 😦
I know you would think that writing such good words is easy but there is no practicality in these beautiful words. No, it’s not like that. Believe me you can be the change you want. What you need to do is start caring for yourself. And more importantly sometimes it is good to be selfish and to think about yourself first.
So, next time whenever you find sometime, go and give sometime to the person who is just your shadow and who breaths inside you.
And keep remembering my friends,
“Loving yourself is the best gift you can give to yourself…!”

I would love to see your comments in the comment box.
Keep reading. 🙂

Reciprocate Love

Love in every form is good for humans. It is believed that love keeps us alive. It fills life with joy. And we all know that a life without joy is infact no life. But do we reciprocate love? Is it a weird question? No it’s not.

Just think once if you love your family or parents or children or your beloved or lover and they in return don’t reciprocate their love in the same way or other as you do, then how it feels. Feels bad, very bad. Every human being on this earth craves for love. Hatred can stay in heart but not permanently. Heart is a place where love can stay more happily. So, each and every human needs love in his or her life. But the problem is that when it comes to our turn we all forget that as feelings have to be shown in the same way love has to be reciprocated. And love can be reciprocated by love only.

Suppose you arranged a candle light dinner for your husband or your wife, he or she joined you for dinner but didn’t return the warmth of love as you did while planning that dinner. How would it affect you? Are you goning to be hurt? Yes, ofcourse you are.  Because if you don’t get love in return of love then there develops a feeling of emptiness. A feeling which makes you believe that you aren’t loved by the person in the same way as you love him or her. That means your love isn’t reciprocated in the way you expect it has to be. And gradually this awkward feeling of emptiness eats your love and love withers away with time. It may seem a nightmare to you. But my friend it is true. If love is not given love in return then it simply dies with the course of time.

I would love to put an example here. Suppose you grow a plant in your garden and you are happy to have it but if you won’t care for it then some day either it will dry up or die. Don’t you think that if it would have been cared properly then it would have grown and blossomed. Yes, surely it would have. And my friend love is just like this plant. If you feed it with love then it grows and blossoms but if you don’t then it dies.

So, next time when someone shows his or her love for you then don’t forget to reciprocate that love. If you can’t do much then simply use these three magical words,”I love you…!”
