A Decade!

Explore..

I have been blogging for a decade. I wrote and wrote and I guess I am still writing. I shared my opinions, I linked to songs, books and movies I liked and more importantly, I used the blog to reflect myself to me. IMO, blogging is a spiritual practice that teaches me about faith and resilience.

At this juncture I like to say; the seeds have been planted and the dream has taken root. Now all I have to do is the daily discipline of silencing the enemy within :)

A Decade!

I am very positive person. I always try and look for the best in everything, but sometimes it’s easy to get bogged down in negativity. If you’re working towards something it’s hard to not let the doubt creep in. You can find you end up asking yourself ‘Is this the right thing to do?‘, ‘What if I do all this hard work and I don’t get the desired outcome?‘, ‘What if all this is in vain?‘. But I figure if you’re working hard for something then it’s got to be something you really, really want, so keep on focusing on the joy if and when it does all come out your way.

When I was thirteen, I couldn’t wait to be eighteen. I thought I'd know it all by then - have all the answers and that prized freedom. When I was twenty one, I planned to be married by age twenty-five with two kids. I'll always smile to myself when I think about how time changes things. And when I turned thirty I made a list of as many goals as I had in years hoping by my 33rd birthday, I'd accomplished them all.

Then a funny thing happens about the time I turned thirty three people start asking about marriage and kids and houses. And I' had begun to worry about savings, retirement, and health insurance. I'd start spending my money with more conscience.. short term sacrifices for long term gains, right?

Then comes a point where I sometimes start to compare my 32 years with everyone else’s. I wonder if I'm on the right track because it’s different from all the people I am surrounded by. I've start going to my friends’ weddings and buying baby gifts for second birthdays and suddenly I realize I am at the exact age that seemed so far away just five years ago.

I’ve always liked including myself ( maybe because I do look young too ;)) in the 25 something category...growing up, but not quite grown up. You’re an adult, but still recognize that you’re part kid. I’ve enjoyed the navigating of adulthood and all of my new first time experiences, a new job, my first ‘grown-up’ paycheck, my first house & car.. growth!

But it seems like the older I’ve gotten, the more aware I’ve become of my short-lived stay in the ‘twenties’ and the pressure to fit the mold of all of the rest of the thirties.. I’ve started to think about how easy it is to become controlled by our age and the expectation of what your age signifies to everyone else, who cares about me. They have an expectation.. almost a timetable of how old I should be by the time I graduate, buy a first house, get married, have kids... start my retirement. Suddenly it seems like there are all these benchmarks to meet, even when they don’t match the goals you are trying to reach..

 My grandma once said; because as easy it is to forget, you’re free to do what you want with your life. The problem is, that can be quite the responsibility, to live your life the way you want to, rather than they way you are expected to especially if that means taking a big jump and especially when that jump may feel like a free fall! Maybe it means - quit your job and go back to school, get married or don’t.. end a relationship that no longer serves you, move away or move back home... become a different person... whatever it may be it is now the time to say goodbye to all of the things that have kept me stagnant and keep moving forward.. In the journey, one thing I always tell myself is to slow down and breathe in.

Aadat si hai mujh..

Explore..

Tumne hi toh kaha tha na Reetu, buri aadat ko chodne ke liye ek acchi aadat ki zaroorat hai... Tum thi meri acchi aadat!

I'll Be Waiting (Kabhi Jo Baadal) - Cover by Arjun 

You're beautiful

You criminal

Girl you took everything from me

Can't let you go

Like a general

I'm going into battle cause...

You stole the breath from my lungs

Cut my veins, bleeding love

Oh I still remember that scene..

Cuz I can see the tears running down your cheek

I can feel your body so close to me

I can hear the rain dropping at your feet

Cuz your love was gone

(Koi nahi.. Mita de sabhi..)

24x7, I will be waiting

Out in the rain till somebody saves me

Don't care if it takes forever to make you believe

Kabhi jo baadal barse

Main dekhoon tujhe aankhein bharke

Tu lage mujhe pehli baarish ki duaa

It's like a gun shot went straight through me

Stopped my heart from beating

No - won't let you get away

Cuz I can see the tears running down your cheek

I can feel your body so close to me

I can hear the rain dropping at your feet

Cuz your love was gone

Kabhi jo baadal barse

Main dekhoon tujhe aankhein bharke

Tu lage mujhe pehli baarish ki duaa

Tere pahloo mein reh loon

Main khudko paagal keh loon

Tu gham de ya khushiyaan

Seh loon saathiya

You're killin me

You're bad for me

So why do I feel such ecstasy?

Do you believe

In you and me

How do I stop this jealousy?

I'll never stop fighting till you're with me

I built a castle and you're my queen

Just give me a chance to make you believe it again

24x7 I'll be waiting 

Out in the rain till somebody saves me

Don't care if it takes forever to make you believe

Cause you've got to believe it...

Kabhi jo baadal barse

Main dekhoon tujhe aankhein bharke

Tu lage mujhe pehli baarish ki duaa

Tere pahloo mein reh loon

Main khudko paagal keh loon

Tu gham de ya khushiyaan

Seh loon saathiya..

It's like a gun shot went straight through me

Stopped my heart from beating

No - won't let you get away..

Aadat si hai mujh..

நீ பார்க்கும் பார்வைகள் பூவாகும் நெஞ்சுக்குள் தைக்கின்ற முள்ளாகும் கண்ணே உன் கண் பட்ட காயம் உன் கை வைக்க தானாக ஆறும்!!

Peut être?

Explore..

The worst feeling in the world
Is NOT feeling your touch
"I miss you like crazy"
I love you so much

The most deafening silence
Is NOT getting to hear your voice
I want us to be together
But we have no choice

The most painful heartache
Is caused by my worries
Are you thinking of me too?
Does my face seem kind of blurry?

Are you starting to forget "us"
Or trying to remember?
"I miss you like crazy"
I'll love you forever!!

Peut être?

I loved you
Although against my will I knew I loved you
Time was standing still because I loved you
But someday I knew you'd fly away
Tomorrow
That could never be a new tomorrow
For I can only think of yesterday
And everyway... I loved you
Such memories of moments when I loved you
I loved you then but you were never mine
A summer to remember for all time
Leaving me with tears from farewell eyes
Those precious moments saying last good-byes
And I loved you
But you were never mine

a beautiful song in my repeat corner the past few days :)

Frames and shades - Google Glass!

Explore..

So, I thought I’d share my experience using Google Glass(GG) for the past 5 weeks. I got it on the 2nd of March. It’s been incredibly fun and exciting for me. I’m not so much giving a deep philosophical opinion on the meaning or viability of the technology in this review, but rather a quick summary of what it currently does and doesn’t do, as a reference for folks who are curious or thinking about joining the beta-test program themselves..

As many would already know, GG is a smartphone you wear on your face like glasses. Usually it’s turned off and you see nothing; sometimes it’s awake and you see a ‘heads up display’ floating above your field of view. It’s a full Android device, with a deliberately locked-down and restricted user interface. It has wi-fi, but no cellular connection or GPS ability. When you’re out and about, you have to tether to your phone for data and GPS.


I’ve worn it out in public quite a bit - 95% of the time the response has been popular. People are curious and want demonstrations. In particular, adults are typically wondering what the heck they are, while teenagers ALL seem to know what it is (“OMG, is that Google Glass?!?”). People sometimes quietly point at it from a distance.So it is pretty cool :))

More about it soon!!
