Condolence

A friend of mine called me from Birgunj to inform me of his demise. I did not know him in person but i knew him as the younger brother of my mentor. He was a great photographer. He met a train accident while he was on his way to Delhi for his friend's marriage. He and his friend lost balance on the tracks and an ill-fated train passed over them. I cant even imagine the situation.I feel so sorry for him and for the entire family. S is one person I simply admire and seeing him in so much agony breaks my heart apart. I pray to god for his soul to rest in peace and provide strength to the whole family.

Dream On...

I again go back to Dreaming..It feels wonderful to explore a world which might be beyond my reach but which i have liberty to think of..and to dream of...People say just dreaming is not enough, you need to work towards fulfilling them. But i say Dreaming is Believing and if they are intended to get fulfilled, they will get fulfilled even if you don't try.Destiny make things happen and if my dreams are destined to be realized,they will be realized without me making any conscious effort.If i start chasing my dreams to get them fulfilled,i believe they will no more be my dreams...they will become my aim in life and i don't want to trade my dreams for anything.

The only thing that scares me is that i have been losing everything that is close to my heart.I just pray that my dreams are preserved.What can i do to save them?Can i lock them in a box and hide the box in sand?Or can i just let them be there because i have heard that if we stick on something too hard,it will make every possible effort to get away from us.I am confused...I am scared...I am apprehensive...I cherish my dreams so much.Is there any way i can preserve them and save them?I need a solution!!Waiting for one...

Selling Youself

While i was studying Sales Management in college, there was a continuous emphasis put on presenting yourself well to be able to sell your product and services to the customer.Its ironic that while selling something you have to present it in the best of its forms, whether or not it is true.i found it quite funny when my granpa asked me to post the bio-data of a girl for his nephew.The bio-data had everything saleable.The girl was portrayed as the ideal to-be wife and a daughter-in-law.She is "fair" with an attractive body: "Tall", "Slender" and "Sharp Features" is what describes the girl.She is "homely" and wow...her hobbies include "Cooking", "Knitting" and "Sewing". Well, an amazing combination for today's girl..Her to-be in-laws are lucky.....

It makes me wonder...how far do we go to give away our daughter to a group of people who we hardly know...The effort we put in is incredible..The girl might not have the faintest idea on how to sew or knit but this is the best way parents can make their daughters marketable...I just hope that the girl who is being marketed does not have to prove her skills once she is dropped in to her "New Owners". Gud Luck Gurl!!!

To be or Not To Be,,,,

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else-means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting."

I love this quote. Reminds me so much of my life.

What NEXT????/

I am so disappointed and dishearted with everything that is going around in my country. I really want to do something but i feel helpless...i feel useless...Is there anything i can do?Can i make a difference?I believe that the answer to all my queries is a YES...but i really lack a path..i lack a roadmap on which i can prod. Can anyone please help me find a way in which i can do something.I am not a LPG dealer, nor do i deal with petroleum products.I am not even involved in the strikes around the country.I dont work in the government offices neither am i involved in making plans and policies.I am just an ordinary citizen fighting for my survival amidst so many problems engulfing the country.There is scarcity of everything in the country except for the incessant strikes and bandhs which are quite a common phenomenon,but sadly these bandhs will not be able to fetch us the food...but nobody seems to understand this.Bandhs are opposed with another bandh, which again is opposed by another and the loop continues.Like every citizen,I too keep thinking and thinking but i hardly get any positive vibes after all that is happening.I do not have answer to this one.Anyone Interested to answer-What Next?????

This is one of my fav Songs by Kelly Clarkson

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
Id just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if Id end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway

Ill spread my wings and Ill learn how to fly
Ill do what it takes til I touch the sky
Ill make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I wont forget all the ones that I love
Ill make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I dont know where theyll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

Ill spread my wings
And Ill learn how to fly
Though its not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I wont forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
