Life's lesson...

there comes a day in my life when it teaches u some important lessons... today i write, not abt the mistake but what i learnt post that.

1) never make a mistake in life that u will regret and cant repair
2) never sideline what u feel n think is right and wrong
3) never stay away from speaking your mind and specially your doubts
4) even if u want to make it as right as it can get, not always will you be given a chance to make it alright.
5) very few people have the ability to move ahead of the problem and look for a solution as immediately as knowing abt the problem
6) very few people have the ability to look beyond the mistake and judge a person for who he is and not because of the mistake
7) very few people make the choice of face the problem in totality and not eliminate the easiest link of the problem.
8) the mind and thinking of someone comes out in the worth situation, how good or bad a person can be, can think, can talk, can feel saaf dikhayi deta hai in a bad situation..
9) never judge a person by how he reacts to a situation specially when hes at the receiving end.. judge them by how they handle the situation..
10) sometimes when u cant do anything, getting out of the way may be the only solution to the problem, till at a later date, it comes and bites u in the ass.

and theres more....

The people u meet on the london subway

An interesting place and a nervous system in itself, the london underground or "the tube" is totally a gazers paradise. A. U dont have mobile. And B. Its very interesting I benefit  by both cause without my phone i am forced to write n ve a topic to write on!!
The people u meet range from the locals - "safeds" to the wannabes to the professionals all in suits (std here just not for me) to the desis to the south asians to the kallus n my personal favourites... The tourists with maps, big bags n cameras looking at their maps every station n listening n reading the in train signs repeatedly a 100 times at least... Not long ago i was one of them.. Now i ve a local friend who gives me my directions!!! :)


Coming back to the people!!!!


Very interesting is the way people go abt their own way!!! Very rarely do u see people talk here... Everyones got a paper, a book, a signal less phone or music!!! Aloof life is what these guys lead on the tube with a stark contract to what they lead above the ground, be polite, acknowledge and smile at strangers. The dresses n outfits people where here are another topic all together but ill keep it brief!!! :)  formals are the majorities but there always is one eccentric outfit in the train. A local in the weirdest of street clothes, to the biggest of earrings to the brightest of red!!
Red seems to be the favourite tube colour! Kabhi signal kharab hua to yeh use kar le! Theres atleast one coat,  one footware or one tie thats the bright red!!! I need to see this colour hair here!! The million dollar question is - does someone dress for the tube! :) i am taking the tube today, what do i wear!!! Does  anyone ever start their
day here  like that!


Moving onto hair... Gel seems to be the favorite here!! N i got to learn it the hard way why!! The wind that blows here is no ones friend specially not ones hair!! Men with short hair find it diff to manage its a nightmare for the women!! I know ask me!! Gelling ur hair to keep it safe from blowing away in the wind is one thing!! Gelling it
for hairstyles really unusual ones is another thing. Hair here doesnt follow geometry - lines, curves.. its more amoeba designs... Hehehhe well this time i am exaggeration... Saw just one like that.. But my oh my was that a funky out of the world, gravity geometry defying hairstyle all helds together with that strong gel!!


What amazes me is that there are abt 15 diff lines that cover london as a city n they form the Nervous system of underground travel. Theres not one time when i ve gotten lost or havent understood or even traced my way back in this maze. Ok, it happened once!! I am human after all n those who know me will tell u direction n me n this happening only one is awesome!!!! :) testimony to how well planned and how amazingly well knit this system is!!


What pleased me most was to see Sada sardar family from southhall - hep kaur with high boots n stockings n smarty sardar with khata peta halthy baby... So cute!!! True indian picture of the england!!!


I ve enjoyed my travel on the tube thoroughly!! Wld do that all day if i cld!! These are just plain simple observations n nowhere am i trying to be cynical, judgemental or pointing fingers.


Thats my short story on my limited travel through the london tube! hope u cld feel like u were there!! :))

For Somebody!! :)

Lines of my life for somebody special:


I wait for a sign,
So i know your mind everyday,
I look in the mirror,
And i see your face,
The walls break down down,
When you smile at me,
And the world’s much brighter than the one i see

Somebody wants you 
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can't breathe without you it's lonely
Somebody holds I won't think you will see
That somebody's me 




i am the one who wants to be with you
deep inside i hope you feel it too
waiting in a line of dreams and hopes
just to be the one to be with you


Lost and lonely coz you’re the only one
That knows me and I can’t be without you



lyrics that have caught my heart and sole!! feeling dear to me!! :)

Missed Opportunities!!

its a funny thing how opportunities that u missed turn out to be the biggest IFs and BUTs of your life. the question always remains... "what if"... the result of that "what if" is always what u truly want in life and imagine it to be the 1 thing that would shape your life like no other. is that reality, of course not... that hope, desire, imagination of something so dear and awesome that u truly miss that moment when the opportunity presented itself and you looked away or sometimes didnt even acknowledge...
it doesnt matter when u realise that u missed THAT opportunity, its always going to be something that shakes you from the inside, something that u wld kick urself for the rest of your life, however things may turn out after that... that missed opportunity will keep reminding you of the important things in life and what u sld focus on.
what do u do after u realised the missed opportunity.. i hope and wish for everyone that they realise such a missed opportunity very sooner than later!! in time to be able to mold the future to the desired outcome of that missed opportunity. cause if thats not the case, it does take a lot of logic and very very little emotions to be able to fit that missed opportunity and more so the desired outcome into your present life and live it..
like they say.. life goes on and this shall too be looked upon as a learning experience to never take things for granted.. never assume.. and always always finish unfinished business... :) never leave any leaf unturned for what u think needs to be done. be it to close the chapter, take it ahead, be the bridge, find the connection... do it!! dont leave things to fate, leave it to yourself cause fate only gives u opportunities, u choose to miss them...
for those of us who see an opportunity go by and cant do anything to change it. we choose not to do anything to change it cause we care more abt what the other person wants n has decided than what we think needs to be done!!
In the light of an opportunity, is it ever alright to force someone else to change? i dont think so, its always right to influence, let the person choose to change. But exception to the rule.... if that someone is the most important person in your life who completes you... fight, drill, brainwash, force them to change only cause it makes them a better person and both of u together a better couple...

to fewer missed opportunities and even fewer life changing ones!! amen!! :)

My Sel.. My Soul

Born on the 25th March, a water body,a  fish, an ariean.. someone who needs water to be calm and quite.. good that she stays in mumbai, an island... well don't be fooled, this lady is mad... crazy, out of this world and irritatingly sweet... her mind, her brain and her want to do the weirdest of things amazes everyone who hears of what shes doing. Sel, u make me want to do more with my life, with my time...
its because of you i found a grt friend in steph.. u brought him in to my life and i can see the wonderful effect he has on you n you on him!! :)

what u mean to me cannot be put in words... English dictionary hasn't got words to truly describe my feelings...  but out of the many words i know (which are really less) i want to tell you that i love you from the bottom of my heart, from my soul, from my gut, from every single thing in my body... u r for me more than anything that i ask for in this life...  

You are my soul, my love, my inner voice, my guardian angel... the person i come to at every point in my life, someone who's stood by me and has been there for me even when i was not looking.. u understand me and know my face and u read me, my voice and u tell me things i want to hear and more importantly what i do not want to hear. your my mirror, my devils advocate, my strength, my saviour and my person in alone time..  u dont question me... u know!! u let me tell u my story at a time that i feel comfortable to tell you.. which generally does happen!! 
You being there for me means the world to me and that everything will be all right... aur koi ho na ho, u r always there and i love that feeling..  i know as a default like breathing that v shall always be there for each other and u will always be my source of strength and inspiration!! :) i love u like no ends....
have enjoyed every moment we have spent together.. every laugh, every trick, every nightout, every trip, every fight and every phonecall (most of them that u have missed cause the phone was in ur bag and u were in ur world) :) and looking forward to countless of these!! :)

love u my girlfriends till time and eternity!!
