I don't know what to name it !!

I am strongly of this view that each experience makes you a better person and a better writer ;) Thank you everyone who helped (knowingly or unknowingly) in my making.... by the way, the evolution will continue forever. .. So enjoy all the lows and get up each time life throws u down....just one more time...each time :)

Today, life seem to be beautiful
Tomorrow, a few events make u think of it as sinful
Today, all my wishes are granted
Tomorrow, i see as if only pains and issues are planted
With each passing day, i keep falling down
This beautiful smile turning into an ugly frown
A day comes when i cannot get up nomore (two negatives doesn't make a positive in English and this is correct :D)
Silent soldier whispers...please get up once more
All you need to do is raise your hand
Life will bend to pull you up and mend all the broken ends
Each time you get up, get up with a bigger smile
Pushing back the pains and sorrows and showing them their last mile
Enjoy shots of tequila with all those lemons
Relish the sweet mocktail when life suprises you with melons
Enjoy this era. Enjoy this age.
Life, my friend, is a circus in which you're not in a cage
Keep the keepers
Smile and say a bye to the life shakers

Namaskara Bengaluru !!

Away from Bombay after so long…came here for work which was basically a 2 week long engagement but extended a little (It always happens that way in the company I work for….either things get extended or get cancelled). Never mind, I came here with an open mindset to not judge this city and people way too soon, so that perception would be built in my next trip coz this is way too less a time to do that.
There is a lot of work here….10-11 hrs. everyday which I feel is good coz my brain has signaled me not to give it free time else it would get into destructive mode. It’ll signal my heart to weep and when that starts, I become dysfunctional and I am clearly not in a mood to do any of that. My company has provided accommodation in an average hotel with a decent coffee shop where people sit till late and do some serious kinda stuff in their laptops. This kind of ambience is my favorite where there is comfortable silence around along with a lot of peace. The place I am staying at belongs to TATA group but its not TAJ so basically complementary buffet is also not something I can look forward to…the same white perfect circles served every day. Today I tried some dish which was cooked in coconut oil…since I can’t possibly disinfect my mouth with a sanitizer…I was left with no option but to have alcohol. Again.
Too much cribbing already I guess but then I haven’t created a perception yet!! Ok, so if I talk about this city till now, it’s been really nice and people here are a little offbeat but way too kind except a few north Indian migrants who, I believe, pollute the air wherever they go….like I’m doing right now…how much unthankful I am to my mom for making me a north Indian.. Goan or Kashmiri or chinky (No Offense intended) would have been so good. Goan coz then I would have valued deserts, Kashmiri coz then I would have valued freedom and chinky because I find them really cute and I adore their silky straight hair ☺
This city is flooded with some amazingly beautiful weekend getaways like Pondicherry, Ooty, Coorg, Wayanad, etc…..you know the first 3 places I mentioned have a separate place in my heart..each associated with an unfulfilled wish and a failed plan! Guess this time also, I won’t be getting a chance to visit either. My weekends are spent at my cousin’s place basically coz I get home cooked food there apart from free laundry service, some free advice, and a lot of good sleep. I have a niece who is some 8 years young and she is into charity too. She bestows an emotional miser like me with some free hugs, kisses, some really awesome games to play with and all her time ☺ Initially had planned to travel over the weekends and explore some above mentioned spots but dropped all such plans as Pondi would not turn into Bondi even after 2-3 yrs. but my sweet irritating niece would grow past this phase and would soon enter into her teens. Fact is that teenage is a difficult phase, not for them but for ppl around…..I was one such teen! One suddenly starts to feel the smartest, most talented, most logical and very mature. Truth is one turns out to be extremely foolish, arrogant, illogical…bursting with adrenaline all the time and a loser not to confidently accept all the wonderful changes that take place in his/her body.  But we all have gone through that phase and some of the most wonderful memories belong to that era! We loved without conditions and fought without reasons. Today we love with a clause and forgive by punishing. Anyway…I am running out of words and my coffee has gone all too sweet and concentrated as it is touching the base of the cup now.  The plan is to go back to my room, eat some egg biryani, get soaked into music and bid adieu to the day I am never gonna look back to ☺
