The women in my life

My grandma, actually my modern grandma, because she does all those things which are not expected from her. Supporting granddaughters in their love affairs, watching cricket match with us and abusing the opposite team are some of them. She always was a working lady. She has worked for 32 years. Then retired. She is the most respected member of my family. She actually runs the entire house, from plumbing work till the important financial decisions in the family. At the age of 70 also, she dances with us, makes fun of grandpa, helps mom, gives advice to dad, only question I have is, where does she get this energy from??

My sweet loving sister, a unique character on her own. Age 16, maturity of age 18 or may be 20. A smart, intelligent, naughty girl. A girl who has her own opinions, her own views and a confidence to stand by them, emotional yet sorted. Sometimes she gives advices to me as well. Favourite of her group, favourite of my family. Watching her smile is priceless. Watching her cry can make you cry. A hyperactive, confident girl who is getting ready for the new challenges of the world. Only question I have is, what is there which gives her the confidence to do all these things??

24 hours on duty. When I was a little I used to think this term is specially developed for my momma. Because I have always seen her working 24 hours. Perfection runs in her blood. Independence is her style. Confidence is her second name. Balanced thinking comes naturally to her. She is an efficient worker in the office, A responsible daughter, sister, an understanding wife, a caring mother, a loving daughter in law. Whenever I talk to her, I feel relaxed. I cannot hide anything from her. She is the support system of the family .the only question I have is how does she manage to play all these roles? How does she manage everything so perfectly, without getting bored?

I think the answer is womanhood. Women are made like that. They can sort out the most difficult problem, they can tackle any situation. The more men underestimate them, stronger they become.  

They say women are the most complicated in the world to understand. They are like a mystery. Yes we are, we are sensitive, confident, understanding, independent, responsible and so complicated. Deep and more meaningful things are difficult to understand right??

my all-time favorite song!!


Love story!!


We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh'Cause we were both young when I first saw you 

It’s like…so..

It’s like breaking glass in my heart when you talk to her

It’s like tons of butterflies flying in my stomach when you look at me

It’s like slowly my heart sinks in there when you smile

It’s like flying in the air when you hold my hand

I dream about you, even though I am awake,

I think about you, even though you are present

This never ending thing goes on,

I don’t even intend to stop

I look at you, I smile, and you smile back

You go ahead, but I am stuck there

Maybe forever

This feeling is new, doesn’t have any name

I even don’t know, whether you feel the same

But I don’t care, you are the reason I look beautiful,

You are the reason I feel beautiful

So let this feeling remain here, let me dream about you

Let the glasses break, let the butterflies fly

Let the heart sink and and let me fly with you high and high.

My Crush Story!!

There is no reason as such; in fact there is not a single reason at all...

You are crazy and odd; mostly people don’t like you at all...

But with me it’s from day one, the day I met you,

And after lots of confusion I have to admit, I have a crush on you..

I don’t want to spend my life with you,

I don’t want to live with you,

You are not the guy from my love story,

I don’t want to go miles and miles with you...

But there is something special about you,

Even after a lot of thoughts, I don’t have any clue..

You don’t know the spelling of manners.

You are arrogant; weird and bizarre

You stay in your own world, like a legend, like a superstar.

May be it’s your style, your attitude, the way you present yourself,

It’s not that I think of you all the time,

But when you meet me and go, I think about you, more than myself.

My friends call me crazy; they don’t see what to see in you,

But I know you are a gem of a person, and I seriously adore you.

This feeling is so good, when the expectations are nil,

I don’t want you to like me, not at all; it will kill me, if you will,

It’s like a distant dream, like my friend says,

The only dream I would like to keep it as a dream

I guess this is my ideal crush story, with lot of smiles and glittering gleam...

Tiny smiles

Whenever sun says good morning to me.. I smile

Whenever sea waves come to say hi.. I smile

Whenever my hair fly with the wind… I smile

Whenever I feel the raindrops... I smile

Whenever I see rainbow slide.. I smile

Whenever I throw snowballs evereywhere.. I smile

Whenever I go to meet my God.. I smile

Whenever coluds take variety of shapes.. I smile

Whenever stars twinkle and smile.. I smile

Whenever I make somebody smile.. I smile

I love my tiny smiles.. so I smile..

Am I a Shopaholic??

I was passing through a lane; I saw a pretty dress,

It was just for me, with my name and address,

Pretty pink flowers and yellow border,

I thought it was made by God just as per my order,

I went inside; it was a beautiful store,

I bought the dress, as I couldn’t ignore,

The dress was so special, not to wear on regular days,

I needed some other stuff too, as special dress had to look special any which ways..

So I went ahead to buy some pretty shoes,

I bought four of them as it was soo difficult which one to choose,

Every shop was calling me... Everyone was helpful,

Everybody knew the dress was so special, and shopping for it was so stressful,

I roamed for three hours and then I was very happy,

I bought everything, which was chic and snappy,

The world became perfect, as I bought all those things

There was happiness all around, and I was flying with my imaginary wings

I came home and dad was already there

He gave me a look by looking at my bags and believe me that was rare..

He was calm and composed, that freaked me out even more,

He asked about the occasion, for which he believed I shopped for sure..

I said I loved the dress and it is priceless..

He said you spent lot of price and you are useless..

You are becoming shopaholic and have no value of money

I didn’t understand a word of it, was he trying to be funny??

The world was happy while i was shopping,

the shop and shopkeepers were happy while i was shopping...

I have been taught to make other people happy

And now he is saying exactly opposite which is crappy

Shopaholic and me? I don’t think so

I just do my bit for the world and let the happiness flow..

ओठातले हसू 

हसन्यालाही जाती असतात. गदगदात करत दुसर्यांना घाबरावानर हसन  किंवा दुसर्यांची मस्करी करातानांचा हसन.. पण मला सर्वात आवडत ते, ओठातल हसू.. आणि त्याला कारणही तसच आहे, जेव्हा आपल्या मनाला चटकन कुठली गोष्ट भावते तेव्हाच ते हसू फुटत...

आजच्या धावापलिच्या life  मध्ये एकत्र येउन हसन तर सोडाच पण एकमेकांकडे बघून ओलखीच हास्य द्यायलाही लोक्कांकडे वेळ नाही. मग आपण कधीतरी sms joke पाठवतो आणि हसण्याचा प्रयत्न करतो. 

काय लागत चेहर्यावर एक छोटासा हसू आणायला?? पूर्ण group समोर तुमच्या boyfriend ने तुमची बाजु घेतली... एक लाजर हसू,  तुमच्या ख़ास मैत्रिणीने तुमच्या टॉप ची तारीफ़ केली.. एक अभिमानाच हसू, एक खुप जुन्या मैत्रिणीने/ मित्राने खुप दिवसांनंतर एक call किंवा sms केला.. एक आठवनिच हसू, तुमच्या एखाद्या फजितिचा किस्सा आठवून आलेल आठावानिचा हसू. 

काही वेळा तुमच्यामुले जर लोक्कांना काही मदत झाली तर ते समाधानाच हसू कही औरच असत.. त्याला काही तोड़ नाही.

अशीच एकदा मी एका म्हातारया आजींना रस्ता cross करायला मदत केली होती, तेव्ह्हाचा त्यांचा चेहरा आणि ते हसू मी कधीच विसरु शकणार नाही. 

प्रत्येकाने आपल ते हसू जपण्याचा प्रयत्न जरुर करावा.जे आपल्याला आवडत, ते काही असो, एखाद छानस गाण, एखादा आवडता छंद जरुर जोपासावा. वेळात वेळ काढून जे मनाला आवडेल ते कराव.. 

आपण सगळे सतत कशाच्या ना कशाच्या मागे पळत असतो, पण यात आपण आपल हसू तर विसरत नहियोत ना? किती दिवसांपुर्वी एखाद आवडत गाण जोरात गायलयत?? किती दिवसांपूर्वी एखाद्दी आवडती फिल्म २ ३ वेळा continuous बघित्ल्येत? किती दिवसांपुर्वी एखाद्या मित्र किंवा मैत्रिणीला घेउन भटकंती केल्येत?? 

या आणि अशा अनेक गोष्टी चेहर्यावर एक छोटस हसू आणतात आणि मन प्रसन्न करतात.. तेव्हा SMILE कारण A SMILE COSTS NOTHING ..:)
