Last when I wrote a feel-good post I was badly looking for reasons to write one such post again to continue the trend. It was not long before I got the chance.

Well, if you have not got it till now let me spell it out for you. This post is going to be all about ME. Last week I have been bestowed upon the award of The Versatile Blogger by a very sweet fellow blogger - Swarnali.


So, here we go......Presenting My Award!
Its CUTE... isn't it?

I know these awards come with a lot of tags, but didn't I tell you I have been lucky? Well, Swarnali chose to do three tags in one post so I got a chance to select what questions would I love to answer here.I have already bored you guys with 7 random facts about Me, hence I would skip that portion and move directly to the questions.... I warned you before this post is going to be all about Me:

  • What's something your Mom always said to you that you thought you'd never hear yourself say?
She hates my reading a lot - not because of anything else. She only introduced me to it. But when I read I am lost in it, oblivious to the surroundings and she hates this particular habit of mine. And my books are something I can never hear anything against from anyone.
  • What's your favorite childhood story and why?
Cindrella - For Me it spells HOPE. Hoping for a better tomorrow, not hurt by the painful today and facing everything that comes your way with a smile!
  • How would others describe your personality?
That I would leave for 'others' to answer, but the most common compliment I get to hear is ' Emotional Fool'
  •  What kind of music do you like to listen to?
Soft numbers. Mostly instrumental, classical, ghazals and old -romantic Bollywood songs. My current favourites are ' Pani Da' ( Vicky Donor) & 'Maula'( Jism 2).
  • What is your favorite song of all time?
'Ae jindagi gale lage le...'  for Me this denotes the magical secret of survival This too shall pass. I sing this when I am happy or sad, because I yearn to be accepted as I am.
  • Do you have a big intellectual capacity and do you think that it alone equates wisdom? Yes or no and why?
Intellectual Capacity - Yes. Big or not - No idea.  Intellectual capacity does not equate wisdom as wisdom comes from various other things as well like experience, age, maturity etc.
  • If you could create a charitable organization, what would you hope to accomplish and to whom would the proceeds benefit the most?
I would love to do something for the children. I strongly believe childhood is the most precious time of one's life and nothing on this earth should deprive them of it. It hurts to see problems like poverty, unemployment, illiteracy take away the innocence from their faces along with their smiles. 
  • How do you deal with stress?
Well, that depends on the amount of stress. But majorly dancing and music.They are instant mood changers and when things go beyond my control then meditation. 
  • Have you read any good books lately? Which ones?
I have read a lot of books lately like Custody, The Secret of Nagas, Immortals of Meluha, Chicken Soup for the Indian Couple's Soul, Soul Curry . Like the flowing river...etc but I loved Autobiography of a Yogi the most. 
  • If you could tell the world just one thing, what would it be and why?
Love, laugh, live, forgive, forget and move on! 

Whoa....finally... I managed to talk so much only about myself. This is a feat in itself as I hate talking about Me! Now I am finally feeling good....!!

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

By

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

By

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
