Why bother, when it won't matter?!

As she waited for her turn to get in the shower

She was completely lost, her thoughts had all the power

I don’t have a perfect body

Neither flat abs, nor sleek legs

Neither beautiful eyes, nor silky hair

Good I’ve covered them,

For it’s something not made for me

O and what’s this that I see it coming

That exquisite flesh, catching the eyes of many

Other’s ignore her, but I can’t resist seeing her

What a beautiful body she possessed

And then she made an eye contact, leaving all the rest!

It said something, and build a network of thoughts

Between hers and mine, connecting all the dots!

Glad that I’m covered, for what she think

Ugly  I look, she’ll judge in just one blink!

The sky above us is all the same

And the floor beneath our feet, will all be in flame

The hair, the eyes, and the skin

Why does it matters to all our kins

Let’s pledge to be one

Against all the odds, under the shining sun

For we all will be drowned in water

Or be burned in flames

And nothing ever will matter

But the connection our hearts shared for our better!

Stay together.. Always

“We’ll be friends forever”

“Yes, we’ll always be.. Friends for life”

And they said goodbye to each other. Two best friends. Making promise in full sincerity, yet fail to be in touch with each other. What goes wrong? Yes, they did talk and tried to stay in touch for some random years, but as of now, they barely knew what was going in the other’s life!

What did time do to them? Was it any misunderstanding that peeped in? Or was it because of lack of time? it was neither of it. For the knot that was tying them both, it was breaking them apart.. breaking the connection.. the chemistry they used to share. It did made them suffer initially, but eventually, they learned to stay without each other. Such is life. Lucky are the friends who have friends with them in every passing phase of their life.

That’s the reason why we should never underestimate the power of connection that we share with our loved ones. You never know what it might do to you!

Not feeling Connected?

Blogging.. why do we do it? Mainly because we want to bring out whatever is there in our heads somewhere and give voice to our thoughts. Then, there comes a need to feel connected..with the world.. with the fellow bloggers, in terms of staying in touch with them and beyond that being able to connect with them. That is something I guess we all love. Nothing is better than letting your readers get connected with you with you write. And if you’re able to achieve that.. then TADA.. you’re probably on the right path as far as writing is concerned. It’s satiating enough only by knowing that you and your readers think alike.

It’s like the unexpected dessert in the end. But when you jot down whole heartedly, and you barely see anyone responding to it or may be finding the link towards it.. it’s a  sad feeling. One such thing did happen with me. Writing a post with all my heart and narrating an incident which I suppose, is quite common in many of our lives, yet not getting connected with your readers pricks a bit in the heart. Such is this post of mine.

Already a not so sweet memory, and then nobody around to relate with it. You see the irony?

How about you guys? Has it ever happened with you? I’m sure it must have.. I’d love to read your experience.. please drop in

Blogging 101: Day 1- Introduce yourself

Hello everyone. I am teacher by profession, blogger by choice. I am from India. I love my work. I enjoy interacting with the young talent our country has. It gives me great satisfaction after every class I take. Sometimes it does get handy, but it’s totally worth it. I love to interact with new people, make random conversations. I like reading and I am crazy about adventurous activities. It gives my body a severe rush of adrenaline when I hear the term. Thrilling I find it. I love my family and friends very very much and I can do anything for them. Relationships matter the most to me.. more than anything in the world.

Blogging was an alien term to me a couple of years back. I accidentally discovered a blog and started reading it and continued it for the next 72 hours! It was so fascinating. Expressing everything that you have in your mind on your personal space! The URL would be what you wanted it to be like, the pictures, the writings, those million forms of expressions.. it gave me the feeling of a star initially! I never really thought of doing it for myself, until one of my dear friends pushed me to. I was very irregular in the initial years, but now I try to update it as much as I can. I do used to maintain a journal before, but blogging is exciting! It gives you so much motivation to move ahead, do better with every new post. Plus, interacting with so many talented people, staying connected with them is like cherry on cake :)

My blog is about how I see the world.. my observations.. things that exist in our society, my feelings, my take on relationships, it’s all out there in the form of poems, fiction, short stories, haikus, etc. The idea is to get connected with the readers and share my thoughts with them.

Hoping to get connected with all the awesome bloggers on the web.

What’s your story? Feel free to drop in

Being Misunderstood.. I hate it!

So it was 2^rd year in college. My best friend was having an affair with another friend of mine, who happened to be a Muslim guy. Now, a Hindu girl and a Muslim guy, you know how complicated it gets. We three were best friends with each other and I was obviously was the mediator between them in times of crisis! I’m sure you know what happens to the mediator?! If you don’t know, then keep reading it ahead.

College flings are no big deal, but getting serious affects the one who is with you. So was the case with my friend (guy). Everybody was after her, which wasn’t the issue. The issue was she too had fallen for someone else (temporarily) and it was during that temporary period everything got messed up. I was the only friend to the guy and we shared almost everything with each other. And hell no, it wasn’t a love triangle! He didn’t fall for me and I didn’t ever fall for him. *Sigh*. We were just friends. Period.

As I knew what had been going on both sides, I had to be really honest and rational with my expert advice :P. The fling with that guy with whom my friend was getting involved was getting a bit too serious. Regular phone calls and meetings with each other became a daily business.. Now, when you already have a boyfriend and that too a super possessive one, what do you do to meet the third guy? You lie, obviously! And that was what was happening.

In the midst of all this confusion, I knew my friend was playing with this Muslim guy and he was hell more than serious about her! And on one horrible day, he asked me what should he do?

What do you think I should have suggested him? (Coz he was aware of everything about the flings and all, but wasn’t ready to take a bold decision). I don’t really know, what the hell was going on in my mind then. I thought about both of them, their natural traits, their relationship and the other risks that were involved if we consider their relationship in a long term. And guess what? I said, “Leave her”!!

Well yes, I became the big bitch! It was a bit straight on my part to say that and I always regret saying it. Later that evening, we had a cat fight! It was bad. Real bad. Both of them, settled their issues, and me, being the third party, err, mediator was obviously kicked out! It sounds a bit funny right now, but it was a bad time for me. I didn’t mean to spoil things between them. I loved both of them- as  friends and as a couple. I didn’t want to break their hearts. Never ever. And knowing their families, I knew none of them had any future with each other. So at that point I became the most hated creature on the planet. We sorted it all out later and in a very mature way. But that is one incident where I realized never to get involved in such stuff.

I am sure something of this sort must have happened with you as well? Feel free to share.

The Power of Connection

Woman 1- “She’s so short and shy and cute and small and pretty, just like a beautiful angel”

Woman 2- “And he’s so tall and fat and giant and black! How on earth is this love marriage?!”

Woman 1- “I don’t know. They don’t even complement each other.”

Woman 2- “He’s so outgoing and cheerful and full of life, and she’s so rude and uptight and.. boring I guess”

Woman 1- “They say, love is blind.. I don’t see anything wrong with the statement when I see both of them.”

So this was the conversation going on in a house party that I had organized and the couple that they were talking about are very close to my heart. After eavesdropping a bit of the conversation, I decided to jump in between and clear certain misconceptions.

Me- “What’s up friends? Can I help?”

Woman 1- “Oh no! We’re good. Lovely arrangements you have made. I’m impressed”

Me- “You liked it? I am so glad”

Woman 2- “We loved it.”

Me-“That sounds wonderful”

Woman 1- “Ok tell us, who is that couple? That short woman with the giant man? They don’t look like so”

Me- “And what makes you say that?”

Woman 2- “I mean come on, don’t you find something weird about the couple? They just go well with each other”

Me- “Just because he is tall and she is short? Or she is white like milk and he is black? Or she is pretty and he isn’t handsome? Things are not always the same the way they appear to be! They are the loveliest and the most adorable couples we have amongst us. Looks and external beauty doesn’t builds love and but connection between them does. The bond that develops over a period of time is not based on how beautiful one looks or what hair or skin one has. It’s all about how you both click. There is love between them, they admire each other, respect each other.. I doubt, with so many guests around in the house, there will be hardly anybody like them, based on the bond one shares and not physical compatibility. I hope I’m able to clear your anxiety now?”

Woman 2- “Fair point well made. And thank you for letting us know. Truly. Coz all of us, only judge by what we see outside and become oblivious towards stuff which is beyond physical beauty.”

Me- “I am glad you took it in a healthy way :)”

Woman 1- “Of course I did”

And so the party continued, with joy, laughter and fun. I felt so glad that I could make a difference to their mindsets.
