When do u know some one is special?

It is kind of weird the way in which some people in your life “suddenly” become special; rather, you suddenly start feeling that they are special to you even though they always were!!

You do not realize it unless till the time you start thinking “What if we had to part ways some day!!?” which is certainly going to happen at some stage of life. The word “what if”; gosh, it can take you to the heights of Everest one moment and to the depths of the Pacific the next. And this is the word that more often than not makes you realize that they are special.

You usually know they are special when some of the most inexpensive items become priceless for u; when u are more concerned on not finding a pen given by them than when you are not able to find your mobile; when the eclairs chocolate given to you by them tastes better than a celebrations; when their voice makes you feel happy whatever mood you be in!!

I am inclined to think that most people encounter this at some point of time in their life; thereby changing it for the better. Wonder if that’s true!!

And today I realized, infact I feel that the person in my life who is very special to me is my HUSBAND and I very proud of myself for him getting as a life partner in my life.

Love u BUZZI, forever and ever.

Your strength often becomes your weakness…

There have been very few “good” dancers in India. There is Hrithik, Prabhudeva, Govinda, Chiranjeevi and now there are many more. But there is one more name which, though not as popular as the ones mentioned above, according to me, is the first dancing star that India has seen.

Some of you must have understood who I am talking about. But for those who are still in a limbo, I am talking about Javed Jaffery. He has been the first dancing star India has produced. Man, what a dancer!!

But the saying “Your strength often becomes your weakness” fits well for this guy coz his own dancing skills became a bane for him as they overshadowed his acting skills more or less taking him into oblivion!! But look at the irony of life, the same strength of his makes him claw himself back into the limelight with his show ‘Boogie Woogie’ (the first dance show in India) and look at the heights he and his show have reached now.

This is a real good example that demonstrates the fact that even if your strength lets you down sometimes, it is only with the help of this strength of yours that you can make a strong comeback in you life. So never let go your strengths!!

Man… How ridiculous some ads can be!!

In this age of electronic media, ads play a major part in the marketing strategies of companies. Where concepts of some of these are really awesome, some others are equally awful and absolutely senseless!! I’ll just list out a few of them. 

1.    Ad of a construction company shows a lady coming out of a beach in a swimming costume. No idea what the meaning of that ad could be.

2.    Drink an energy drink and grow twice as fast. Does that mean a boy who would be 6 ft. tall normally would be 12 ft after drinking the energy drink? Ridiculous!!

3.    Deo stops sweat. Really!! Will the body not rot then?

4.    Hrithik in the Karizma ad where the mud on his bike flies off onto the faces of others. What does this ad mean; not sure even if the director knows!! 

5.    Mother who take bath with santoor soap, wouldn’t have a kid or wt?

Experience makes a better person?

People say experience makes a person better. May be in some cases, I can say this is not entirely true in my case.

When you are a kid, you have no knowledge about the world and so you go about your work without any concerns; sometimes not even knowing how challenging that task can be for an adult.

This is the feeling i have after 3 losses in the past 11 months. First my best friend shivani, and then harika and again then my Love (cant reveal his name) who I have been with from the days I roamed on the roads. Though these experiences have given me an insight into how deceptive life can be and also the truth of life, this has in many ways made me a “coward” who has a thousand things, which cannot be controlled, in mind and not thinking about the more “controllable” part of life. So, life has not entirely made me a better person… but I feel most people would have a similar opinion about life.

Never felt so lonely… :((

Ooh man… Never felt so lonely throughout my life, and it has been quite a long one (just under 27yrs ;) ). Always had people around me with whom I could share my ups and downs, joy and sadness, triumph and failure; and then they would feel happy when I shared my joy and buck me up when I was down!! Those were the days when I had spent enough time for all my friends; and used to look for a reason to spend time with everyone and say ‘Work emundi le, eppudaina chesede’.

Days have passed and the time I spend has reduced drastically. But I am quite sure I still have them around and can share whatever I want to, with them, at any time; the only difference is that earlier I spent time so frequently that they would just have a glance at my face and read my mind, that’s not the case now as the meetings and chatting are relatively limited. But I know they are just a phone call, rather a missed call away!! 

Everything seems fine, and then what makes me feel lonely!!?? As always, I suppose it’s my thought that has done me in again. It says – “U fool, they have their own damn important things to worry about. Why disturb them just to have a meaningless chat and say ‘inkenti viseshalu’!!”. It is right at this thought that I put down my phone that I had picked up to speak to them; or else I just send ‘em a message rather than speaking to them. I sometimes feel that it is not me, but…

And then I only find time to crack a joke on myself and see my brother have a hearty laugh, or laugh at myself before going to sleep. The same cycle continues the next day and so on. Wonder how long this is going to continue and whether what I am doing is right or not, but that’s the way it is at the moment. In fact, I have been trying to adjust to this much like a true “Indian” who tries to adjust to whatever comes to them; and guess what, I haven’t been successful as yet and I know I wouldn’t be either!!

To be frank I think this is the situation many of us are in and I just put forth this content on their behalf, me included of-course. Hope things fall into place and we don’t have to “adjust” as much!!

PS: Finding it difficult even to end the post with a smiley, but do keeps that smile going on your face; it’s quite valuable!!

I became an aunt today! - 27th March 2012

There are times in your life when not living within driving distance of your family really hits you hard. For me, it was last night when I got the call at about two in the morning that my sister was at the hospital and my baby niece was born. My parents, younger brother, and sister were all in hospital in Hyderabad.

My sister who had eagerly waited for about four years and now today she is officially became mother. Within hours I got to see a picture of the perfect little baby who arrived in the world.

As doctors told that my sister will be in hospital for one more day, my brother in law and my mother remained there and took the responsibility to take care of my sister and my niece at hospital. All remaining relatives, brother, sister and friends went back to their own homes.

But my mind was roaming all over USA to India, as I am very anxious to see my sister and my niece, but need to wait for some more time to give her a big kiss and hug. I love you and I am so, so proud of you.  

---All my love to my sister n my niece, forever n ever.---

I Entered the Bloggers' World!

"Me, blogging?!! No Way!!"

This is what i said till last night! Although i've always been very fond of writing, and i do write a lot, i never felt my words were good enough to be shared with the world... More than the words, i was apprehensive about sharing my feelings.

And i still am!!!

But last night, after reading a few lines written by me, a very dear friend threatened me that she would not update her blog till she had mine up! Now i can't let all those suffer who love to read her blog (that includes me!). So, here i am...

Hope you enjoy reading my thoughts and my words!!! :-)
Cheers!

P.S. Want to Thank (or blame :p) Shilpa for providing me with the driving force (or the threat :D) to create this blog!

Thanks a ton Shilpa!! :-)
