Valentine's Day has always been special. Whether you are single or committed, happy or sad, healthy or weak, V Day is definitely not like any other day. It brings us happiness with the presence of our loved ones, memories, dreams or atleast hope. For some, it might even gift pain. Not every memory brings a smile on us! Good or bad, it definitely brings a different emotion tagged to it. So here we are, experiencing another V Day! It definitely brings on memories in me. I am not sad, not happy either. But i feel good, good to have beautiful memories to cherish. With so many wedding bells ringing around me, I definitely cant hide my smile! When you have a lot of positive energy around you, you cant escape from it even if you want to :) I wish each and every friend who is preparing to take the big step, a very very happy, romantic, fun filled and prosperous married life.

Thirty two years ago, when Love Marriage was not a "happening thing", when the social circle was not so open to relationships and when Internet or mobile phones did not help the man meet his lady, two individuals fell for each other. Their love for each other was so deep that it broke the social norms that prevailed and they took the decision to stay for each other through out. Together they have shown me what love is. Dad and Mom, a very happy Valentine's Day to you!

Friends, in the midst of celebration, lets take a break of 2 mins, offer silent prayers to all those lovely souls who parted us in yesterday's bomb blast in Pune. lets pray for the speedy recovery of all those who got injured and lets pray that unfortunate incidents like this does not repeat. I wish all my friends a very happy and safe Valentine's day. 

Smile, Love, Play, Use a Condom :)

an abstract phase called life

I stand facing the holy gate today

A bridge separating me from my haven

On the other end

I see the holy men set to choose my destiny!

Destiny - the word has always scared me.

the world I lived was so complicated

I muddled through, not knowing where my steps took me.

you said I never did it right.

you said I was still a kid and need to be guided

you never had faith in my decisions

you never allowed me to dream

you never had answers to my questions

Questions which meant life to me

I had you with me all my life

when I had to buy those color pencils

when I looked at that pretty frock with desire,

when I smiled shy to that cute boy in class,

in my teens, when privacy was denied to me

when I had to choose on my career, my life,

you were there observing, instructing, commanding

telling me how wrong I was every time

and how blessed I am to have you to guide.

you lived my life when I had one

and now, when I stand here, lifeless

I am alone, no one to instruct, to guide!

they called me stupid, insane

for I cut my vein, lay indifferent.

they say I ended my life for nothing

when did I have a life of my own?

I stand facing the holy gate today

a bridge separating me and my destiny

on the other end

I see the holy men set to choose my destiny!

yet again, some one else decides for me.

parents, you lived your life all way through. you’ve seen the good and bad of decisions taken. its human to have the urge to go back and correct the steps taken. please never let that urge kill your child's happiness. do not live their life. every moment you take from them, you are living your second life and they are loosing their first.

children, every moment of survival is tough. you could choose to fight and write your own destiny or to obey the rules of nature. today might gift you tears, tomorrow there is hope. dont let your tears stifle your future.
