what a day to wake up to.....

What a day to wake up to... is what I told to myself as soon as I got up this morning
It's weekend so morning obviously has to start a bit late..... but, this was like waking up in the night again, outside was so dark that it was practically impossible to believe that it was already 8 in the morning, I rechecked my watch ...it read the same again, then to confirm I quickly glanced over the wall in front of me where there was the Africa-shaped clock and the pointer was pointing towards the head of lion that told me... yes it was actually eight in the morning only to make me pull off the curtains and peep out of my window again realizing that it were clouds conquering the sky By the time I got out of  the bed and got my cup of tea it was only thunders I could hears, flashes so frequent that it felt like being over a red carpet stuck in a paparazzi storm, and thunders so loud that I actually was tempted to believe that the world perhaps is really coming to an end.
Anyway, it's a day off and though I might be having a zillion thing on my to do list,but i am not going to lose this moment for anything, I need to sit, take some time off, throw off my burdens for a while and just sip the tea slowly and enjoy all the performances the nature is putting up...

a slice of today's ktm- morning ....

ps-we know how the world today is, we are so caught up in our lives and in our world,  straightening our mess, that we have almost forgotten that there exist some beautiful things in our lives which are quite capable of giving simple unadulterated pleasures, those may not be big things, and may not give give those big kicks, but just for a moment stop and stare around you, nature keeps doing wonder, atleast give it a smile back so that it will remain motivated keep spreading its magic and we would continue to have atleast one reason to smile upon each day....

Have a Good Day :)

This is no news that my creativity has taken a dip....

and I no longer feel capable of writing any beautiful nonsense or any sensible crap

 for now when life seems a complete mess and 

 I'm the Master of Mess-Making

 I'm busy in getting myself neck-deep into it, not trying to come out of it

 and the best part, not even crying over it openly :)

(that's how I'm, a coward with a mask of brevity)

But, yes I'm full of human follies and I don't feel any shame accepting it

and hence I do agree that going trough tough times isn't the best possible thing happening and

what so ever people suggest or say, how so ever the self-help books and gurus claim

 it ain't that easy !

But,(yes yet again another 'but')... but, trust me when I say that all of us are blessed with some self-help mechanisms, we actually never are so very helpless as we imagine ourselves to be.

Even when the condition is completely out of our hand, we have a choice....

we have a choice as to how will we react to the entire thing....

The Right to React (when, where and HOW) is entirely Mine .

I too have my own mechanism,

 I pray,

 and how so stupid they might sound but I do go through self-help books with those so true/untrue miracle and courageous stories and pieces of writings

After all every human being on the earth is either in love or hatered relationship with life

and trust me these two are such strong emotions that when felt strongly, 

they can make you do anything endure anything and win anything !

For me one such thing self-help thing is this poem which is cliched,yet a very strong inspiration

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

 ( W E Henley)

ps: don't know if i am making any sense but if this poem inspires you even a bit, the purpose will be served :)



An Empty Me

As I get bored with working on this beautiful silent saturday morning (which actually happens to be the only off day I get every week) for a break I log on to this blog, go across the blogroll, and find some wonderful wonderful pieces to read through, and I wonder where have I lost myself ?
There was a time when writing used to be my passion, my diary never seemed to have enough of space to fill my words and thoughts, and now I see a beautiful covered diary kept at a corner of my table, staring back at me almost like a abandoned lover looking at me with teary eyes silently asking the question "why don't you touch me anymore?" I feel a pang of guilt inside me, for leaving all those beautiful pages empty.... do they reflect my own emptiness, that unfulfilled void ?
I should admite 'Yes' thats what those empty pages of diary, that's what those unwritten posts reflect -
 An Empty Me.
And on ending note I have to confess one more thing to my diary "Dear diary, it isn't you I've abandoned, It's Me"

food for thought 1

"Work like a slave; command like a king; create like a god."

Brancusi

Isn't that a beautiful thought???

i just can't praise it enough for it's beauty so i better stop blabbering.

seasons and reasons of love (words n pics)

To be or Not to be in love.... isn't the question here !
Not at every point of time in the life one is in love, not at every point you feel in love but never-the-less, there has been one point in your life when you have felt it, believed it, lived it and loved the feeling of love itself.
Someone has said "love is like measles everyone of us has to go through it" and i couldn't agree anymore.
who doesn't feel mushy once in a while? and especially if love is all around in the air and everyone seems to be basking in the glory of love, you just can't resist the feeling of  reading something lovable or snuggling in your bed with your ever favourite romantic movie.... and mind it you don'e always need to have someone by your side to do it, the very feeling is enough to fill your heart with joy.... i spent my V-day watching one of my fav movies and i didn't feel like i was missing anything.... i actually miss that feeling, infact, for someone like me, who has valued this emotion so strongly, it's strange to have been so out of love for quite sometime.. but nevertheless it hasn't taken my respect or my beliefs away ....

i still believe in its glory.... i still believe in its miracles ...and i still believe in being in love

so this post is all about love

my favourite quotes and movies of love.....

QUOTES

I love you not for who you are, but for what I am when I am with you …

- Roy croft, poet

I hold it true, whate'er befall;

I feel it, when I sorrow most;

Than never to have loved at all.

grow along with me, the best is yet to be

MOVIES

Notting Hill
" William: I live in Notting Hill. You live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows who you are, my mother has trouble remembering my name.
Anna: I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

"bade bade deshon me aisi choti choti batien hoti rahti hain Senorita"

When Harry Met Sally

Harry: I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible

PS: I Love You

 "I know what I want. It is in my hand"
