No strings attached…


I’ve often wondered…of all the relations that I’ve built with people…how many go with the adage “No strings attached”…how many can I actually count upon as “ALWAYS” there kinda people..and I found my answer in a pretty decent number. Good enough I believe :)

Throughout the journey of life…we meet a variety of people…people of different tastes..different culture…different backgrounds…a whole lot of differences basically!! And among the thousand people you meet…you become acquaintances with a few… friends with a few…close friends with a few..best friends with a few..and so..the radius keeps getting smaller!! Incredible though it may seem…but the ones who actually matter are those in the circles with the smallest radius…these are the relations that go with the tagline…”No strings attached”!! These are the people who add an essence to your very being…who you can be YOU with…who bring forth the life in you. It’s nothing…but simple, pure warmth and affection at its best!! You could probably laugh with a hundred people…but to cry…you would need a true friend. These are the kind of relations that go way way beyond the upheavals of the emotional rollercoaster…they are the bonds that have been so deep rooted that you would not realize your existence without them. These are the people who have seen you at your worst…and at your best…who’ve seen you through it all!! It takes some time for a bond to be formed…for an attachment to be developed...but lifelong for it to be maintained!! Plain..simple..straightforward..honest..are the words that can be used to describe such bonds! There probably may be times when you go on..without meeting people for months or years together…but you can be rest assured that when you meet..the camaraderie remains the same…You can still afford to be the same old stupid you..without a bit of inhibition!!

For me personally..to have been blessed with a set of such people…is simply wonderful in itself!! They are the people who constantly remind me as to how beautiful life is..how much more beautiful it could be made. Not restricted to friendships alone…the kind of relationships I share at home…are highly significant factors in helping me be ‘me’!! An unwritten rule in every relationship that I have with people is “zero expectations”..but for these relations…the rule itself stands reversed!! You expect only from your dear ones..and when your heart is assured of the fact that they will live up to your expectations! Not to deny the fact that these relations too go through slight tribulations…nevertheless, will be back on track in the blink of an eye!! The smaller the radius of the circle in which the person stands...more special is the bond…greater the hurt when something happens…shorter the time in which it’ll bounce back :) That’s how I see it :)

He was...

Every child just dreams of one thing…to be loved by its parents endearingly, to be held close by the dear ones…and just make life beautiful for everyone…and so did I, as a child, dream about growing up as soon as possible, about being loved and cared for like no other. If only I knew that my journey with my father would end all to soon…that he would leave behind an irreplaceable emptiness in our lives…if only he could see where I stand in life now…if only… Papa for me and sis, was a hero in his own right…never the one to be afraid of anything, and even when death came calling, he put up a brave face. He was someone who was simplicity personified, an ever smiling, cheerful person who was really contented with his life…and someone who never worried about anything in the world. Hard to find people like him in today’s world, given that everyone just runs behind money and materialistic comforts forgetting peace of mind. Papa was always known as a righteous man, who never hurt anyone, who di...

Of dreams!!

I live in a world that's constantly on the run.. Where most people spend a good amount of their life in chasing things that are closest to their heart.. Chasing what we call Dreams!! Without dreams, life would come to a standstill.. A very mundane life living for the heck of it.  Why dream at all? Why not be content with what is without looking for something beyond? If only our spirits would listen!! In dreams, we travel a world of possibility, a world that could be so much more prettier than it ever was.. And in our dreams we travel the road less taken to reach the heights of success and happiness. What fuels our dreams is that single ray of hope that promises a better tomorrow .. That beacon of light that never ceases to die.. That vision of success which sets our souls on fire.. And that unmatched sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that comes from within.  I've been a dreamer all my life, a true Piscean that I am.. I've always found myself wandering out i...

Five fantastic years!!

My dear little (big) girl, as you celebrate yet another year of blissful existence, I can’t help the bittersweet feeling of watching you grow into your own person every single day. From being a shy 3 year old who wouldn’t converse in English when we first landed in Canada, you have grown into a confident, cheerful and joyous 5 year old who can just about strike a conversation with anyone she meets.  This year was indeed a big one for you, a year that saw you transition into the role of a big sister!! I was apprehensive about how you would react to having a sibling, given how little you are..but you surprised me throughout my pregnancy by being so wonderfully caring and considerate, in a way that only you can! From the moment we found out about the baby, you were all excited and cheerful, hoping and praying for a little sister and your prayers were indeed answered as we welcomed home little Aadya in August this year. You were my constant companion during pregnancy, feeling every mov...
