Random!!!

Is it necessary to have a structured well disciplined life? I mean to wake up at so and so a.m. to have 3 meals a day, to read one book every week???? Why can't we take life as it comes and do whatever our heart says at that moment?

I have seen people who never miss their morning walk, who never sleep before they write next day to-do lists, who never have tea without bath. (Don't count me in any of these :P :P)

Is it necessary to have 1 or 2 or 3 passions for which you would give up anything in life??
Why can't you be a person who has interests in 1/2/3 activities but is not passionate to give up anything for it!
Some people are passionate about photography or reading. They can't live without it.

Now i am not a person who has passion to death about anything. If someone asks me about my passion, they might feel i'm dumb after looking at my expression. I like reading, i'm interested in calligraphy but i can live without them if time or situation demands!

"What's your favorite color?", "Whose is your favorite actor?", questions like these and i'm dumb again.
I mean nature has created all the colors. I like all. I don't have a single favorite really!!! Now i don't explain this, and i have one color in mind which i will tell if you ask me. (Even at midnight :P) Doesn't it sound foolish? May be. But nothing better came to my mind when i was thinking about this!!!

When i talked to a good friend about all this, the only one thing he said is "SOUNDS FOOLISH, you are impossible" :( :D :)

And i said, "Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish".

P.S.:  You see the contrast in this post and the previous one. You see my mind works like a spring, it keeps on hopping! I sometimes feel I'm so so split on my thoughts! But anyways new avtars,  new experiences and more hues!!! 

~~ Cheers ~~ 

Ruminations!!!

People always keep saying  "there is nothing like busy schedules, its only about priorities".

Though i am not working now, still i am always short of time and running behind scheduled dates to complete a task. That makes me remember i have not paid the electricity bill, the last date of which is 15th. :P :P

I thought over it for a while. (not about paying bill..:P..about me and time :))

What i learnt after that thought session is:

1) I should not keep on thinking over same things (ofcourse which are not my way) and feel frustrated
2) I should plan a day and look at the end of it, what have i actually got out of it
3) I should eat healthy food and on time
4) Find some time out of ample time to exercise or be ready to face the hell
5) Most important is stop cursing for the things which are around me
6) Don't be a control freak. You cannot control the environment and the people around you. The only thing you can control is you - yourself.
    This is something which really impressed me. It appeared in an newspaper article --
    When life seems beyond control and everyone seems to be doing their own thing, the best thing  to do is take a couple of steps backwards and many steps inwards — within yourself.

Now that i have ample time and me doing as equal as nothing, henceforth i am planning to spend my time constructively. Learn many things, make friends, watch movies, read books, try to understand myself more and how can forget it -- DISCOVER MANY MORE HUES OF LIFE!!!

Now that i'm heading my engine to the junction of hope leaving you people with a nice thought on hope--

The important thing is not that we can live on hope alone, but that life is not worth living without it

Its never too late!!!

I haven't been to my blog since more than two months...(My head hangs down in shame). Should i curse myself for doing this?

One mind says to me, " You are not doing any justice to your blog, by behaving like this", while the second mind says, "better late than never, get down to it now", and here i go with my second mind.

Well i need to justify myself for being absent. I was not in a right mindset to write a new post, reasons being numerous. First and the most primary reason,that i have relocated to my hometown from Indore (I miss Indore {sob sob}). Packing all the stuff there, moving out, then unpacking and arranging all the things was like a half death to me. While doing all this i had to look after my mom 24*7. Plus extensive traveling,including a follow-up at the hospital in a city which falls on the way from Indore to my hometown.

After relocating, getting an internet connection, finding a maid, getting all the house-hold needs, altogether setting it in routine delayed everything. All this took more than a month.

After doing all these 'unmarried homemaker' wala thingies,i was so low, that i thought, i will never get a way out of it. But then my mom's birthday followed by my birthday and celebrations in first fortnight of February eased out things and "i was back to life".

But you know what, its Murphys law, 'anything that can possibly go wrong, does', and so it did go. One of my cousin met with an accident and there was no one from his family in the town, and so i had to take the responsibility of getting him meals, giving the medicines, paying the bills in the hospitals etc. Fortunately, he is fine now and his family members are back to take care of him and i have been relieved of the task.

So after all the 'sorrow streams flowing' (and dried up as well :P), i'm feeling much much better now, so i'm back to blogging. ( back to FB, orkut as well :P)

Finally comes the hope, that i will be regular to my blog, learn and experience and write about  more and more "HUES OF LIFE'

Leaving with a thought---

Don't allow yourself to frown, maybe someone has fallen in love with your smile! 

The new tool

Have you ever thought in the morning that, today i don't wanna wake-up because i don't have anything to do, or aim of. Staying in the bed on Sunday is fine, isn't it? :P

Everyday when we wake up, we have a hope, a new task to accomplish. Having hope or goal is fine, but to complete it is equally important. So its important, that you keep an account of goals you aim to hit, and keep checking in yourself, your performance. During years i have thought of doing so many things, learn to cook a specific dish, to read so many books in "these' number of days, to shed some weight :P:D, and many more things. But seldom i have been able to do them or achieve them...:( :(

The other day, i read in one the blogger buddies post, about 101 goals in 1001 days. When i googled (sorry Page & Brin, you should have also stated the past tense :P) about it, found it interesting. Its a kind of project,  which inspires you to set the goals and achieve it. The link to project is here--

I have signed up and made a list of goals. This has been working for me as self-motivation tool. Tell me, how do you set and achieve the goals?

I'm literate! Enough???

India's literacy rate is somewhere between 65-70% ( Youth literacy % is greater than this). It might have gone up because i am unaware of latest figures. Do you know what is the % of people who are learned? Amused??? Don't be.

Even i was not aware. But one incidence taught me well the same. Wikipedia, says a literate is one who can read and write. Why has it not included assimilating something you learn, apply at appropriate time, for the welfare of yourself, human race and society as a whole. I wish it were done!!!

I want to tell you why do i wish so. Last weekend, my friend and i, went to a restraunt. We wanted to order dinner for take away. While we were waiting, we saw two men sitting in a car and having their dinner. I realized that, the engine of the car was not turned off.

I would have not given it a thought, if it would have been on for minute or two. I analysed that, it might have taken 20 minutes to get the order. They were already having the dinner, so consider 10 minutes and 30 minutes, the time since we were there and god knows for how much time. So roughly they kept their engine on for 60 + minutes.

Do you think they thought on how much pollution they had created by keeping the engine on, how they have contributed to global warming, by keeping the A.C. on, while the engine was on ??? I am talking this because they appeared to be educated by the way they behaved, but however i feel they are not. They are not at all better, than a bucolic, illiterate man living in some remotely located village, who has never been to school.

So, think, the next time you want to have dinner in a car, or keep the engine of the car on for no use, keep the electrical and electronic appliances on without necessity, and prove yourself a TRUE LITERATE.

Transition!!! M lovin' it....

Biologically, a girl turns into a woman, after the menarche, at the age of 12-14. Most of the girls are then into the school. They do not understand the real meaning of womanhood, neither did i understand!

Not taking into the consideration the biological transition, there comes another stage, which is emotional transition. This may come at any age, because many factors affect it, family, peer group, your own priorities, society to which you belong etc. This comes when a girl gets out of the "teen pinks", and understands the importance of true love, care, family, relationships, culture, responsibilities and so many other things. Many girls may not understand it at a very later stage of life, no harm, it depends, some may not give importance to these and choose path of personal growth as more important.

The reason, these thoughts have cluttered in my mind today is, i have started experiencing this transition. Don't know whether its too early, or not..but i want to tell you a secret dear blog, m lovin' it...

This does not mean i am not concentrating on career, infact this transition has made me more conscious about my responsibilities towards myself and for people around me. Cooking was not my cup of tea few months ago, but now i like to cook and serve (m not excellent at it yet, but yeah you can eat it and your taste buds won't complain). I love doing the household chores now(earlier i used to do it, but then now i do them without complaining). I like festivals now( along with the hard work accompanied like cleaning,washing, dusting).I, now like talking with many people of different age groups, discussing and understanding things around. I have started loving the thoughts of true love, marriage and family. (not worrying about the end of singlehood :P).

You know what, i want this transition to be memorable, so that i can tell my children (More specifically daughter :P)

P.S.: Did i mention, i have started following some great cooking and 'women special' blogs. :P :P :D

Life Qs - Unanswered!!!

Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results. This is what James Allen says in his book As a Man Thinketh.

I thought on this -- Then why does it happen that some honest people always fail and dishonest people always win!!!

He also had an answer for this; he opines that a dishonest man may have some admirable virtues which the other honest man doesn't, and likewise an honest man may have some obnoxious vices which bring failure to it. I accept the answer, PARTIALLY!!!

Why Partially? This cannot be true with all the beings. The reason is -- One of my first cousin (who passed away last year) and his daughters story.

He got married the previous year and the couple was expecting a baby the next year. But fate was ruthless! He suffered with some incurable illness and passed away, when his wife was expecting the delivery the next fortnight. He could not see the baby, he could not love his child. OK, for a time we'll think of what Mr. Allen says i.e. may be he did not do good deeds, so his life end so early and this way. But what about the baby, which was brought to this world a fortnight, after its father was on a journey, which would never bring him back! She never had a father, who would love, care, play, teach her.

What was the baby left with - a mother, who is not enough educated to go out work and feed her baby, or despaired grandparents or the innumerable questions it will have to answer as time passes

When the baby has no deeds done, but will still face difficulties, what brought it bad fate!!! So its not only THE MAN, which has the ultimate power or power to do miracles, but its also the situation, the environment HE grows in.
