Setting Examples





I am happy that today I am able to write my latest blog and it is further intriguing as it is 4 am in the morning that I am writing this blog. I am just back from a mad party where me and my buddies Veda, Deepti, her sister Neha, Darshan and Harsh we all danced our heart out. We are usually the "Partners in Crime". So every Saturday as a part of the pact we meet, sometime we go to a distant place like Vikramgad on road, sometime even for spa and sometime for a mad night out like today. After a long time it was evidently a fun outing that we had. However when I received a call from Veda was the time that I was supposed to write a Blog. But nevertheless before I finish today I have promised myself to not go for sleep. You know since June that I have started writing life has changed so much. I indulged in things that I thought due to lack of time and other ample reasons I would not be able to do, but yes I tried my hand in kick boxing, I started working out, I did dancing, and then travelling endlessly which kept me busy all the time. Then our pact started amongst all of us to make sure our meeting happens, as maintaining relationship does not happens on whatsapp or facebook. The old school style of meeting in person is much more effective than anything in this world, so we must not find the short-cuts through the virtual mediums but should try and take initiative to meet people in person whenever we have time.





"Motivation is great, but until you want change

everything will remain the same. You can either

thrive in misery or make a difference."-Unknown

I sometime feel that life is moving as fast as the spinning wheel. We have spent so many years of life in quest of something great to happen. Sometime the one thing that we felt if happens to us will be greatest achievement to us not necessarily prove the same. The people that we are surrounded with and we feel comfortable with may not also share the same feeling as us to be very honest. Does our "Samsara" lies with them? Or is it worth it to be with people who are faking with you, or laughing at you, or are jealous with you, or bitching about you but they only show you that you are their best friend when you are around. My question is would you like to invest your valuable time in such irrelevant situation and with people for whom you are just a source of entertainment but not as much vital as you think they are? Happiness comes in staying true to yourself. I keep asking myself every time what do I want, the answer that i get is happiness of togetherness, a family, love and belongingness. In front of these everything else is so vague. We all have little emptiness in the corner of our heart and sometime we confront that too. That emptiness always gives us feeling to leave everything and go. I sit and talk to myself for hours. Then I think going somewhere will not lead me to where I want to be it will only lead me to more questions for which I may not have the answer. If I want to live my greatness, it is here. It is a complex duty but the most important duty is to being in this world with everyone and give the love they deserve. If we really want to do something great then we must spend time with orphans, teach the illiterate to read and write, feed the one who is starving. There is so much chaos around and we always complain about others. But we cannot bring the change, the change is within us, we are the change! Hope life becomes simple with its Q & A one day that for us it is more simpler. In the Movie Singham the Cop Baji Rao Singham played by Ajay Devgan says "Meri zarooratein kam hain isliye mere zameer mein dum hain!" which means I have less need hence I carry courage in my conscience. However we the Cosmopolitan Society are deprived of such kind of life where we have less needs, Our needs are ever increasing and so is our way of looking at life, we turn to be one selfish creepy human being who only looks at their own self and how to make ourselves more happy.The world has more issues leading to politcal, economic and other factors because people in each and every field are behaving in a self centred manner, However I believe it is all a chain. Today if Government Officials are corrupted it is because we give them the liberty to be like that. If we do not others will however the chain will continue until we all decide to change. There is so much to do here why anyone needs to go anywhere else in quest of greatness. Like we do bad then eventually it comes back to us, so is great deeds it come back  to us too. We all are born for a reason but the reason is right here, hope we all find it one day!



Keeping this serious talks aside I want to express my immense happiness and pleasure that my role model has welcomed one more year of her life with smile on her face and warmth in her heart. As I mentioned earlier she is not only the role model for me but for the entire woman hood. Its a journey of her life that has set an example for the world. She is not the one who has just won the Miss Universe Pageant but also have hosted it consecutively in so many years. Not only that she kept the light of knowledge what it takes to be there within herself but she spread it too amongst all the contestant who appeared for the Pageant later. She has given us movies like Aakhen, Samay, Filhaal etc which will always remain in my heart. Not only that through Main hoon na she educated people how Saari can be a sexy wear. However nobody except her could carry Saaris with that ease. She is beautiful from the inside and the outside hence she glows like a shining star and spreads her spark everywhere. All the accolades that she won may be very less to do justice to the elegant persona that she is.



I have immense respect for her as she being a woman is so proud of her womanhood, she is also mother of two angel daughters. She has also set an example by being a single mother to her kids. They are blessed to have a mother like her and I salute her as I understand no matter irrespective of being an enormous personality she also has her own set of challenges and she lives up to it. Not only she lives up to it but she lives up to it with a smile on her face. Today I cannot thank her enough for motivating me to write and Mam I don't know if you still read me but I am writing because I believe I found my solace in writing once in a while. It is all because of you as you have given me your light too and I am enlightened. I feel blessed whenever I finish a blog post. I respect you and your greatness. You Are Great and have set an example of Greatness living among us and within us. <3

A Song I will like to dedicate to her-



P.S- My writing will be always a dedication to Former Miss. Universe and Talented Actress Sushmita Sen for her motivation. Thank you Mam for the inspiration!

The Rule Breaker



“There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are 

one of the lights, the light of all lights.” 

― Bram StokerDracula




It is a beautiful sight to see the city illuminated with lights,lightening of crackers everywhere. The city looks ecstatic. The days of festivals are very special to us as we light up our houses  and our heart is too lighted up with the spur of happiness and delight. I know of many such instances in life when people try to extinguish the light within you. Today I am a little intrigued and I feel darkness is trying to invade me, its trying to swallow me up to non-existent. It happens to me every time when i confront the darker side of the world and the people. People I thought can be positive prove that they are shallow from inside. However light we might have inside, there are people who with their darkness will try to invade you. But I want to say no to them and I still want to shine brighter then I ever did. After all Diwali is all about that a midst darkness we light the candle of hope!

The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
George Bernard Shaw 




After all, this is the time I am breaking the norms for myself that I have set so far. You can say it was due to my fear. But one by one I am doing things that I have refrained from doing. So last day I wanted some adrenaline rush. So when I went to Imagica it was unimaginable fun experience, the rides that has always scared me away and I remember of history where the people used to get me down of rides because I would cry, scream and beg desperately to put me down. I took dare to drop, nitro (roller coaster) ride and many other rides that I never expected could exist. But you know till the time I did it I thought it is scary, but once I did it I realized that I have been missing something. I drew my inspiration from ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA and I have started saying yes to myself for everything that I never tried, everything I feared. I have taken up dare game in my life.

I think our fear stops us from doing lot of things that we think cannot but trust me there is nothing we cannot do, it is all in our mind. The day we start saying yes to our selves and believe that we are strong enough to handle all the situations that we find scary life will be much more better.


I would like to apologize for not being able to write so far but I have been travelling a lot. I went during Durgapujo to my home, met my family and as per ritual met my school friends and the long lost ones too. As soon as I came back I went for an Official trip for a week commencing from Chennai to Hyderabad to Bengaluru to Guwahati to Kolkata then finally to Mumbai. Now I believe my readers and friends know why I have not been writing so far but if you believe my words I have been trying very hard since then to write my blog. So I am happy to let you know, I come today with my latest post. Honestly I am in the space today in my life when I found my calling. As I am doing things I never could one by one. Sometime back we went for a road trip to Vikramgad. I went with my colleague turned out to be my best pal Vedakshari and the group. We witnessed the sun rise and came back after sunset. We visited the seven points and the point which is at the edge of the hill top is a water fall which was 25 km away from the second last point. We were starving but we decided to go for it anyway. When we reached there we were made to belief that there is no way we could reach close to the waterfall as the way towards it to reach was steep and rocky and slippery too. But then we took a chance and the entire team took 45 minutes to reach there but the mission was accomplished finally. The feeling of achievement was out of the world and it gave us extreme rush like hitting the bulls eye.



I cannot explain in words what is the feeling of achievement that you gain every time when you do something new, something that you never tried, something that you have been always scared of. It is not the world, not our friends, not our parents, not our relatives who set the rules for us but it is only our fear. This fear is originated of course within ourselves may be somewhere it is a part of our nature or may be because of our experience. If you ask me the fear was a part of my nature always, something that was inseparable from me. Someone I cannot mention here, who taught me by making me live the hard way how to overcome my fear and how to make your worst nightmare your best friend. As much I can complain about that person but today if I look at myself and the person I have become I cant stop thanking. Life is interesting and challenging only when you are ready to take up those with your head held high and a mind that is rock solid enough than your body is! My question is are you ready for the challenges that destiny throws at you?
