Ek aur ek Gyarah!

'Ask and you shall Recieve' goes a saying. Last week I had prayed to God for some reasons to feel good and celebrate as there seems to be so much of a stagnancy in my life. . Aha! Some of those wishes when He was surely listening to Me. He said AMEN and Lo!! It seems to be raining awards for Me, giving me so many reasons every day to smile, feel good, bask in the love & attention showered and write sweet reflective posts here;

Today I have been given the Liebster Award by Jaish_Vats adding another feather to my cap. I simply loved the uniqueness she brought to this tag by asking a very different question to all the winners. Different than the rest, truly sets my thinking horses running. She asked:

State 11 things you think are required for a happy and fulfilling life..
Could be things, principles, rules anything

  • Live, Laugh & Love - Each moment.
  • Forgive- not because of anything else but because you are much more stronger than any hurt on this earth.
  • Love everyone for what they are.
  • After a fall, learn to get up yourself. It will save you a lot of pain in future.
  • Hope is the only rope to which we need to clung tightly at times of despair.
  • Give a lot every time you can - Hugs, love, care, attention, wishes, prayers, happiness etc, as it barely costs anything but leaves back a very good feeling
  • Once in a while, pause life for a while amidst all the running around.
  • If it hurts, let that person know.It is very important.
  • Express - most of the times it solves all the problems!
  • Be like a SPRING - the harder circumstances force you down, the harder you come back.
  • Never let your life be like an open book for everyone to read. Rather let it be like a mystery serial, unveiling slowly in each episode.
Sharing with you the 11 things I think that are required for a happy and fulfilling life. Some are mine, some are borrowed, but in short some beautiful lessons Life has taught me so far which left me with a happy feeling!

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

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!”
