We never value what we have until it goes away.

I always want things which I don’t have , and then when I get them I am happy for sometime and then I tend to get bored of them.

Simple things in life, like our bed, the house we stay in, food we eat everyday, I mean all this do u ever think about it and value it?? Trust me we don’t, because its always taken for granted.

Have you ever gone a day without food, like been really busy that you didn’t get time to eat or imagined what it would be like sleeping on a really cold winter night without your favourite blanket? Think of the times when u suddenly wake up in the middle of the night just to find urself shivering and then you snuggle up with your blanket as close to you as possible. What if we cudnt find that blanket one night? How restless we wud get? And then probably learn to value the small things in life.

Just felt like writing here about my ma, i was super duper addicted to her, i would throw tantrums, expect her to do everything for me, right from feed me , to dress me up, when i was a kid, like even put me to sleep, sit next to me when i was eating, at times even tell her to feed me, make her sit next to me when i was doing my home work, jus trouble her so much, not listen to her when she told me to change my uniform after i came from school, she would yell her throat out, but i would give her a deaf ear. All of that, and more.. i was jus a kid then probably 12 years old, wasn’t as mature to understand her, i wouldn’t let her out of my sight even for a min, I wanted her to be around all the time, I would even sleep next to her most of the times. She would get annoyed but then after all she was a mother, she took up all my tantrums with a smile on her face, i still can remember her caress thru my hair when she used to put me to sleep, i used to ask her to tell me stories. I feel i troubled her so much , but even loved her more than anything in this whole world and still do.....

And then one day she left.... perhaps god loved her more than me, and needed her there because as I know her she was a pure soul... she left us and went, i was hardly 13, was a lil girl, not even mature enough to take my own decisions. I learnt to do things on my own after that, and only when she wasn’t around me i started to value her, i missed every little thing about her, everything that i did with her around. Its only when you have something and its no more there with you, you realise its importance.

So jus wanted to say value the simple things in life, our family, people who love us, friends who knows what tomorrow is like? things like the view from ur apartment, the food we eat, the cool wind , the weather, live as if there was no tomorrow, love everyone, spread smiles, spread happiness, make others smile, do good to others, help the ones in need if you can.....

NO more exams!!! Yayy

Exams!!

Exams have always been an important part of all our lives... right from school days; it has been the same jitters down the spine before an exam!! How much ever I study I always have had those goose pimples and nervousness before an exam, even if it was the easiest paper or my favourite subject.

Sleepless nights, cups n cups of coffee, gtalk, n yahoo messengers on, simultaneously chatting with friends asking them how much they finished. Studying, studying, studying and then leaving out some stuff as option :P Sigh!!

And for me I have to read and revise right till the moment I get in to the examination room, my friends make fun of me telling me to stop studying, but I don’t know I just can’t close the book until I am forced to :p I feel I will forget whatever I have studied if I don’t look through it just before the exam.

Anyways the reason I write this blog today is because finally I will be answering the last exam of my academic career day after. I always dreamt of this day when I wont ever have to write exams any more. And finally I have come close to it. Yayyyy. I feel so delighted, so happy like its such a super duper feeling. :P

It is strange to think that that will be the last exam I will ever take as part of a formal education, one that has lasted 18 years of my life.

But as strange as it is... i am happy that one phase of my life is over... as this chapter comes to an end there is a new one waiting to start when i go back home. If you know what I mean ;)

Men are from mars and women are from Venus

People often say that women get carried away by their emotions that they tend to get over emotional and sentimental when it comes to any kind of issues. Men specially keep joking about women having mood swings and about how they can never fully understand the mind of a woman.

Well being one of the kind belonging to the feminine race I agree that women are weird and completely different from men. We think differently and react to situations differently than men. Our brains work differently. We are different physically, and these are all good aspects, also women are more emotional than men and this is nothing new to us, but when women get emotional they easily get tagged by the men as “ MOODY” and become a topic of humour for the men.

It is a universally accepted truth that men and women have different wavelengths in communication. Women develop their comfort zone with others by talks, talks n more talks.... they can go on and on.... This is for all the girls.. ..I bet you must have experienced this, We women are never out of topics to talk on. We can just go on and on and on..... We convey a lot through our expressions and simple words during our normal conversations. Women are more emotional than men and expect men to talk to them in an emotional language. But men however prefer to use short and direct expressions of words while communicating, and sometimes women feel that men are least bothered when they give half replies to texts or short replies. But its just that men are that ways, they prefer it simple , sweet and short

Relationships between men and women are not difficult, its just that problems arise when we start to expect a bit too much, it isn’t wrong but problems begin when we start to assume that the opposite sex should think, feel or act the same way as them. Its not that men and women live in different worlds, its just that we need to understand that we have to except each other’s differences, become aware of each one’s identities, we need to also understand that we are different mentally and our brains think and act differently on same situations, and GOD made us that way, and it is best not to challenge it. We must avoid trying to change others to suit our needs.

So stop trying to change ur MAN or WOMAN, instead cherish them for what they are, and make LOVE not WAR... J Because LOVE is the most beautiful feeling on earth.

Secret Wish ;)

All of us at some point in time in our lives have seen a shooting star and made a wish, or might have wished in a wishing well. Wishes we often make with broken eye lashes, while blowing our birthday candles, or even when we see just one star in the whole sky.

All of us make wishes and it is believed that such wishes can only come true if you keep them a secret from other people. It is also believed that if you wish for something with all your heart genuinely it comes true.

Everything is possible, if you believe in it. As a matter of fact all the beliefs that you have today are based on your past experiences. You can change your life like a click; all it takes is conviction and strong will power and determination.

We do not realise that our thoughts shape our tomorrow. We usually focus on what we want rather than what we do not want. In reality we receive what we focus on and this grows. Live in the present moment and travel further in to the future by focusing on what you want. Leave the past behind you, LET IT GO! It has gone, not in your control any more, but the future is. Look straight ahead.

Trust me if you want something real badly enough, nothing in the world can stop you from getting it. Do you remember a time when you desired something so badly and still didn’t get it? Consider for a moment that may be it is not time yet, may be you are not ready yet, or maybe you truly deep down in your heart don’t REALLY want what you think you do.

Give yourself a small gift. Just grab a pen and a notepad, sit down with a cuppa coffee or tea (for the tea lovers) and DEFINE your life goals. Think that you are a child, get in to the mood of a little kid, just imagine that everything is possible. Write down.

Write everything you would LOVE to do in life like

Swim with dolphins

Climb a mountain,

Take a ride in a hot air balloon

Scuba dive,

Own an island,

Learn to play the piano,

Learn to dance,

Fly a plane,

Lose weight and have that perfect body

Have the best hair days on all days,

Be the best gf/bf or Husband/wife

Spread love n smiles everywhere

Be successful in life

Make your parents proud

Be the good child

Be the best parent

Excel in your career

Etc etc

When you are done decide how soon you want to experience these things.

Then create deep inspiring reasons why these wishes are important to you.

Take immediate steps to pursue your goals. Procrastination and putting it off for tomorrow or thinking negatively about it, such as “I am not that lucky enough to deserve that” or I don’t think I’ll ever get it”

Tell GOD what your wish list is. Universe has a great sense of humour and humour has a great role in all our lives, it is very important. When was the last time you laughed with all your heart, until your stomach hurt?

Consider that maybe life is a game, games are supposed to be fun and the winner is the one who laughs the most! Seeing humour in life events will help get you through soooo much. The journey of life on earth is only as serious as you decide it to be.

Your life is the greatest movie you can imagine. What will it be from today on? Action, drama, adventure, tragedy, comedy, horror or romance? It's YOUR script. YOU are the star!

Do you have an awesome body, incredible health and energy, magical relationships, a spectacular career? Ok, how about a reflection you are really comfortable with, a healthy lifestyle physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, empowering friendships, and work you look forward to?

Be whatever you want to be and be it with all your heart. Be playful, be outrageous, be unstoppable, be outstanding. Be daring, be brave, be spontaneous, be courageous. BE YOU! Start living from today.

A new begining....

My first day in school I vaguely recall, my mom walked me to the nursery, there were so many kids my age, most of them crying probably because they all saw new faces or may be because that day their daily routine was disturbed :P and some didn’t wanna let their parents out of their sight.

I was really excited seeing my new school, I remember my mom telling me to be good, not to cry and that she is leaving me here so that I learn new stuff and play, and that she would be back to pick me in some time. I still can recall that day the teacher gave us all a blank page and crayons and told us to draw and there was this small pool as well in the play school which I loved soo much, though all we did was jus splash water on each other, but nonetheless it was fun.....

Play school gets over and then we go to proper primary school
School time is the time we spend our first quarter of our life and it is in those days that we learn to mould and grow......some incidences and instances come during school that source the turning point of our life. Who in this world can forget the school days? Those were the precious moments which all of us treasure. There could be no one on this earth who would hate those days or would feel like those days never coming again. We were kids and used to play, study, eat and laugh without any worry and without being anxious, ekdum tension free life. Those were the times we could jus be so carefree,. How seriously do all of us miss those days. I cherish all of it. The day in school when we make friends, and the friends i made in mid school are a very important part of my life. then those friends become our best friends.. not to forget....
Group study,
Discussing homework over the phone and then ending up chitchatting for hours leaving the homework behind :P
Sharing tiffins,
Teasing each other,
Playing stupid games like chalk fights, name- place- animal –thing....
Missing the school bus,
Playing pranks on those friends we used to mutually hate,
Calling teachers nicknames..
Our first Crush
writing our names on the desks....
trying to be in the good books of the monitor of the class so he/she doesn’t complain about u :P
Being jealous if your best friend became friends with some one else...
OMG!!!
There r so many things that will always keep my school days in the most memorable moments of my life!! Those days were truly special and priceless!!!

The friends that we make in school we’ll always remember throughout our lives.

So then before you know... its all over... the ever green school days come to an end and then we move on from School to “college”..

It always feels good when you advance from one level to another ... moving from school to college ... graduation to post graduation ... and then to a job or the next level ... the in-between stages always have mixed feelings ... you feel sad about leaving something behind and at the same time you are happy and excited about the new experiences that are going to occur.

For me my college life was memorable too....
made great friends whom ill cherish life long ....
In college the definition of FUN is a lil different from school...
NO UNIFORMS!!!! Wow... it seemed so nice in the beginning .... but then everyday when i had to wear something new and didn’t wana repeat the same clothes.... i used to stare at my wardrobe full of clothes and still had nothing to wear :P i realised uniforms were better, atleast we didn’t have to waste time deciding on what to wear to school.
So now we are all grown up in college... and jus out of school so we try to get stylish and make our presence felt around....

Bunking lectures
Going for movies (matinee shows)
Being black listed for poor attendance
Spending hours in the canteen doing nothing but vella panti... ;)
Strolling around the whole college campus for Eye vitamin...hehehe.. ;)
One day b4 the exam not knowing whats the portion :P :P
Bitching, groupism, mass bunking... etc etc...
Arguing with parents that the pocket money they give us aint enough
Shopping sprees
Random plans, outings, bike rides
That one fav hangout place where u meet up with all your friends and spend hours together....
Studying the whole year ka portion jus one night b4 the exam and leaving half of it for option.. ;)

And aise hi karte karte even COLLEGE came to an end... OMG.. where did those 3 years of under grad go?? They just vanished in to thin air.... hassi mazak mein.... khatam ho gaye...
Before we know it.. we are out of it!!!!

Masters level pe...... man!!!! Life gets tougher now.
The only thing that gets better with time are the good old days. We may never get to relive them but we always do have them with us.

Masters level took me to Australia, 2 years of Post grad here
It still seems like yesterday
The whole idea of coming here was a dream, living with room mates,
Our own apartment, cooking, late night gossips, coffee
Feeling hungry in the middle of the night.. etc etc

I still remember the 1st day at university
Going to the student centre to get the student ids done and jus strolling around to get a closer look of the campus
1st class
Yeah I remember:
Very different compared to what it is in India.
Professors are casual, study atmosphere is chilled out there is more of practical learning which is good.
Good experience!!!!
I still remember my 1st presentation when I was shivering with stage fear…. I think i got over it now... aftr 2 years :P
I have learnt very good problem handling skills and stress management….. How to meet deadlines ;)… by completing a week long assignment overnight… All those group tasks which compelled us to stay up all night with our gtalk and yahoo messenger and FACEBOOK on…. All those frequent semester
Assignments, reports, presentations, exams….
These two years of my life were really good a great learning experience… I know what I have learnt…..
I can sense the changes in me… met different people, some great professors, some people who will be friends life long. I met many who contributed to my life in one or the other way…. I was encouraged, appreciated, criticized and discouraged time to time…. But it always added towards my learning and helped me to learn and become better with every step…
I would love to mention the names of people who were always there for me… whether we talk daily or not and those who were always there for me as a life supporting system…. But I’ll not because I don’t wanna hurt anybody by skipping their name by mistake….. :D…. those who are special for me know this and understand this….
Everybody expects from their family because they are the people sent by God for us…. It’s very difficult to find people outside family from whom you can expect…. And I am one lucky person…. I met such people at every step of my life….. :-) :-)

All good things come to an end, I guess, and now my Major academic phase has come to an end..
Now, I am going to start with my professional life… I just wish all my friends and acquaintances all the best for their future endeavors… I hope to stay connected with you all…. God Bless you….
Cheers to a new LIFE!!!

The story of life!!!

Story of LIFE....

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be, your neighbor, your coworker, a long lost friend, or a complete stranger. When you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.
Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved,straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.


The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.
Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.


Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it, but know where to draw the line.
Most importantly if you Love someone tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
Learn a lesson in life each day that you live.

That's the story of Life.
