Sharing is Caring, I am thankful to the below Anonymous Guest Blogger for sharing her experience with me and my friends!

Here it Goes . . .


It was a beautiful sunny Sunday of December. I put on my favorite white top, matched it with black lower and my perfect white stilettos. I counted my steps before leaving my home, it’s been just a month I started riding my scooty to places outside my locality. I was still an amateur and that too with 2.5 inches heels on, it would be like self-invite to trouble.

I was still hovering around looking at my heels when my friend called me to be quick and pick her up from her house. I dunno what was creating friction in my mind, my heels or riding scooty with heels. Still I left my house hip hopping in a party mood giving a kick that “Bad things don’t happen to Good people” Hypocrite I was.


I have only ridden around 2 km away from my house when the auto-rickshaw before me applied breaks all of the sudden in the middle of road and in the havoc even I applied the break. Somehow I stood with my scooty not hitting the auto but when I kept my feet on the road to see what was wrong with the auto driver, I had an ankle twist and fell with scooty over my same ankle. My friend somehow stood and dint even had a scratch.

And this is the following Saturday I am sitting in my house with a severe ligament tear and on a bed rest of 10 days and sulking about my disability while writing this piece.

Often in the hullaballoo of life and the fun we are looking forward to we miss the tiny things we should have taken care of. This Saturday would have different if I preferred shoes over heels, if I stayed at home with my parents than to go out partying with my friends.( See, I ignored everything that would have created difference. Silly I am.)
In all these days of staying in bed which is also the most difficult 5 days of my life, I played a nonstop game of thinking- Over thinking-and-Over to over thinking.
The deepest and most intriguing realization I have had that God has given me a perfect life till last Sunday. The best gift I have ever got is the ability I can do my things and sustain my life without being dependent on others.
 It’s a good feeling that I get to drink water even without feeling thirsty and without even moving an inch but it would have been the best feeling if I felt thirsty and could take a glass of water for myself with my own.
It’s a dream come true that in this chilly winter I am blankets in the warm blankets whole day but it would have awesome if I could go out and celebrate Christmas and New year with my friends.
We sulk over little troubles in life-for materialistic things we couldn’t get- for the dreams which couldn’t get real- but what’s the point? It would have been nothing if you couldn’t dance on your own feet when you were happy- when you couldn’t sing and express what you felt- when you couldn’t wipe your own tears with your hand while you were sad.
What would have happened that day if I was ran over by a 4 wheeler after I fell. Chill runs down my spine. It’s scary even to think something like that.
 We should be thankful enough to God that we have the ability and blessings with which we can make everything work for us. So the first thing I am going to do when I come out of this ‘staying in bed’ phase is to bow down my head  before the almighty and thank him for the perfect life I had and blessing me to continue with same perfect life again.
It is my favorite lesson I learnt in 2013. 2014 is going to be more of thanking and less of sulking.

Happy New Year :)

The word of mouth

  We often heard in life that “The pen is mightier than the sword”. Yes, this is true but we never wonder about the authenticity of the work written by the pen. That’s simply because we were never taught to question the same. Today I just had this argument with myself after watching the movie Baar baar Dekho. What’s said by the critics and people around me gave me an impression about that movie was that it’s not worth anyone’s time to devote in such kind of movie and I was following the same rule taught to me “Not to question the authenticity”, unless and until one old friend of mine suggested that I should watch the movie and decide by myself instead of blindly following the word of mouth. Still I was not convinced because it’s easy to be with the majority then to take a stand. There are so many simple things in life we choose to ignore, so many rituals blindly followed that we didn’t even have the courage to question that! Why is that? Why are we th...

"He is lucky" exclaimed anirudh, having a healthy conversation just after the results were declared. Anirudh stated that arnab always get better marks then him because of his luck. I and arnab study the same thing , take the same tuitions and the solve the same test papers but every time he gets a huge lead .This is a routine cry of anirudh supporting his failure to take over arnab. Often we came across these type of situations . Sometimes we are the part of this conversations , sometimes we just listen, but the one thing you will observe during these chats is that if you are the part of the conversation then you might believe that "Anirudh is right" keeping yourself in his position but as soon as you are the other part of the story .ie "Arnab to the story" you feel Irritated because you worked really hard to compete and after winning all the credit is going to your luck! isn't it? This was just  a normal incidence I thought of sharing .I was just goin...

The Era of Smart TV & Phones and dumb People .

I t was not the first tie when I was ditched by the network  while I was looking for way to reach the office and the wise old man around me helped with the route to get me there without even giving a little stress over it. The same thing happened to me when I was travelling and wanted to know the list of stations where the train is going to stop but again this sweet innocent love of my life was out of network so I the ray of hope was old couple sitting next to me .These small incidences force me to think about how Technology has overtaken the power of our brain. I still remember when i was a high school kid and Mobile Phone was the newly invented craze and at that time I use to remember all the contact numbers of my near and dear once so that I can call them and gradually when this device was developed further with better storage and all the contacts was saved in the phone now i hardly remember any contact numbers. The exercise or the work which we use to do with our brain has take...
