This one’s for me,you….me and you

Her sister, the mother of this child and your wife could not survive the crash.

Today she looks like a million bucks, the most beautiful woman on this earth. Today she is pious and the most precious with universe in her eyes. But only if she opens them.

The knot was tied and the vows were exchanged to give a new dimension to love as. As years passed by the bond became stronger and the love deepened. We created a life to celebrate our love and leave a footprint on the future. Each day was fun and fulfilling. She smiled, laughed with work life balance. Except for a slight hint of emptiness in her eyes, which was overshadowed by always too much going on.

She today looks as beautiful as she did on the wedding day or as sparkling after the childbirth. But when did I last stop for a moment in the morning by her side to admire her beauty, her young playful heart. Or when was the last time I appreciated her in that dress. Even though she complained I always reminded her that she was always beautiful to me anyways. But today when I notice she denies to listen.

Marriage is a tough institution. Losing track of small moments over those bigger ones is easy and natural. The emotions that brought two hearts together can take a back seat when practicality drives. There is nothing wrong or right when priorities flip, given we live in a materialistic world. But nature restores woman’s emotions despite all odds vs a man’s. She often suffers ignorance for the same but she is a fighter and keeps coming back. With an expectation of few moments as sweet and silly as those early times, from her man when they were young lovers. A common marriage phenomenon of ‘taking each other for granted’ might not have a definition for all. Appreciating or planning surprises might not be every man’s cup of tea.

But it can be as simple as looking at her and appreciating yourself in choosing her for the life. There was a time when a look was enough to say it all and that time was not silly or just immature.

If for a man a woman ‘says it best when she says nothing at all’ it holds true for men too. If words are hard to find; a look or touch is all that it is.

Its Your Birthday ~~~~

We sleep, we eat;

We play, we fight;

Loving you more each day

Is my life.

I can fight times.

As you hold me,

Amongst every tough situation passing by.

I exist until the day arrives,

When my love for you feels satisfied.

Tomorrow is my love's birthday. I wish for him the best of the world today, tomorrow and always.

This day is the most important day of the year for me, and I mean it. More than the day I was proposed or the day we got engaged or the day of our marriage. After all, we were destined for each other. This all would not have been possible without your birthday.

World is shrinking and customer support is sinking.





I booked tickets online for my parents, for the day after next using this travel services website. In first place, the e-ticket was not issued after I completed the booking although the money was immediately deducted from my account. I booked the ticket on the night of Aug 9 for Aug 11 early morning. On Aug 10, I received an email that due to some errors my booking has been canceled. After waiting for the refund for several hours and trying over a thousand times to reach the customer support, I finally got hold of them.

The very fact that I am writing a post on this would sure illustrate my experience.

It Catches Your Heart.......

It’s been long since I stayed away from my blog. And truly it was painful.

I always liked writing but started my blog quite late. But once it got started, I realized it was more than a just a liking. Missing on writing made me feel incomplete. It had got me involved deeply.

But then suddenly life got crazy busy, luckily with all good stuff. The excitement of life let my personal space go ignored. Days became weeks, weeks became months and I kept ignoring it. But somewhere deep down it was hurting. To start it back up looked difficult and I wasn’t sure the amount of effort it would require. But then today I had to shake myself up to just start it back again. The writing followed my thoughts and it wasn’t that difficult.

So how do know about your passion? In plain English, it’s that one thing about which you keep thinking all the time and its absence make you feel incomplete. And pursuing it gives eternal peace.

Everyone has several ‘likes’ but one ‘passion’. But how many truly identify one?

-- Those who do and let it drive become genius.
-- Those who don’t should wake up and think themselves
-- Those who do but don’t follow it are jerks

Passion is strong enough to drive. When it hits you, do not hold back. Getting to flow with the kick is the path to happiness.

If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins ~ Benjamin Franklin

Performing Weekend

Life is busy and occupied. My in-laws are in house visiting us for a month and am sure busy enjoying with them, I feel bad that my blog is getting a little neglected though :-( its hard to find time to pen down ideas when every day is fun and celebration. So after my in-laws are gone, I sure have a lot to share folks.

But for now, I really really wanted to share these pictures with you all lovely friends. Last Friday, I performed a Indian folk dance in a international festival and trust me we stole all the charm ...yeyyyyy

Our group name was "Garba Essence"

"Garba" is group folk dance, that comes from a north western state of India. Both men and women celebrate the power of the goddess for 9 auspicious days of the year, mostly in September. They dress up and dance on folk songs all night.

Hope you all njoy the pictures!!
