Capturing Everyday Memories

After a sabbatical of a year and a half I'm back at my favourite past time. This entire time i was on a journey to find myself in the new phase of life (Being a married woman). Well I'm still trying to figure myself in this phase but now i can say that im settling in. I do miss the people i left in Delhi when i moved to Mumbai but this Delhi - Mumbai - Delhi juggle is something that keeps me going. Now that I'm writing this post I'm listening to some chill songs and sitting in my comfy bed thinking of how this year and a half has been. I left at yelling love notes for my fiancee who now is my beloved husband. ' Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all, all of me And you give me all, all of you - All of Me by John Legend The time moved at a fast pace and m...

I wished for a fairy tale & I got my real life fairy tale.. You lifted my spirits & brought my life back.. उस दिन दियान याद आज वी ताज़ा ने मेरे दिल च जद पहली वारी तू मेनू इक टक वेकेयह सी ते मेरी सारी कशमकशान नु तू परे करता जो बातें कही नही गई रही ना वो अनकही... आँखे थ...

To begin with these past two months have been crazy as I have felt the highest amount of pressure as I didn't feel the positivity that was my go to in our relationship. Babe I don't like arguing rather not even crying that's not me... I Love You and that's the truth from the time I met you... I know you also aren't liking the gap between our communication or the way you put it the de-sync feeling. We both know that this relationship needs our constant attention and the reason we are with each other is coz we both are each other's soulmate... Baby you're what pushes me to keep taking all the risks and efforts... I really want to keep the communication channels flowing and positive... I was hurt and I know you were too when we both shared our struggles with our families but we know that our happiness of being with each other clear those wrinkles and creases!!! We want to be with each other and that's what is important for US! So let's find ways to me...

वक़्त अगर वहीं थम जाता तो बात ही कुछ और होती.. आपकी नज़रों से ओझल होने की नौबत ही नही आती... थे जब आप सामने तब लगा सब अपना सा... अब यह सब लगता है बेगाना सा.... चाहते हैं कि रहे आप नज़रों के साम...

I don't know why you ask the reason for loving you! I don't know why you ask the reason you're so special for me! I know you've not asked me this but somewhere you feel why do I love you! The answer for all these is 'YOU' When I met you I was vulnerable and was carrying a baggage of a disturbed past. Hoping to find a person who'll accept me the way I am and also clear the stains of my past. The one who'll fit into the shoes of my dream man. Our meeting wasn't a chance one nor was it like the one I was expecting. It turned out to be the way I always wanted and wished for... We clicked and something stirred inside me.. I know I'm not perfect but you're perfect for me.. You're everything I wished for and prayed for.. You fit into my life and completed me.. In actual terms you're my soulmate the other half who was meant to happen to me! I chose you the way you are and the way you were with me.. I know there'll be times ahead wh...

Your every gesture has been special. Right from the day one when you complimented me for my dimples to calling me your soulmate. You flew down especially to meet me, that itself was huge. The surprise was something I couldn't have imagined.. Your gaze just brought additional colour to my cheeks! When we held hands I felt safe and secure. It felt as if I found someone who'll hold me when I need it the most.. Babe when you cuddled me and your arm was wrapped around my shoulder I had goosebumps (like literally)... You played those songs that I used to sing and at that time missed a companion with whom I could share the same.. I always thought how will it feel if I shared my interests and sat in a place where we could talk about anything!? I could see that happening in those 4 days... I began at 0% but now I know you that much to be able to commit to you for life... I gave my heart to you the day we started talking... Your openness opened the doors that I had closed earlier..

       " Never knew this is what it feels like LOVE " I met you and I instantly knew it was you!! I went with a blank mind and you just filled it with thoughts about you... Finding ourselves in our long and crazy conversations we build a new relationship. With every passing day and night I felt closer to you.. Slowly you became the Chandler to my Monica and I opened my heart for you... You sensed my hesitation and worked on my motivation.. You coming to meet me felt just right and I had the memories of my life... Every meeting has been amazing and my confidence in us has just found a new meaning... For the our understanding is a truth behind our loves thats increasing :) A happy you is equal to a happy I!!! And I love us more than I ;) There is a song that reminds me of us forever... Love You :* 

Looking forward to meeting you, I crossed the calender dates waiting for my beau ;) Counting the days and nights, I lay down awaiting my knight :* Came Thursday, And the flight landed from Bombay :D My inner girl was dancing, For it was time for romancing... I was ecstatic but had to control, Holding the fort I had to patrol... Waiting for the time to pass I rushed out of the class.. With you beside me in the car it was difficult to drive within a line, So I parked the car to give you a sign... We hugged like there was no tomorrow, For we had kept aside the sorrow.. You make me feel pretty, For I look like a smitten kitty... Walking with you is purely divine, For we have shared fine wine... ;P Your admiring gaze, Makes my heart go into a tizzy haze... The four days became a part of our picture book And I hung our moments with a hook! :) We did have some bumpy fun, Which will become a part of all that we've done.. I loved the way you slept with a simple smil...

एक ऐसा साथ एक ऐसा रिश्ता देखा ही था ख़्वाब उसका साल हुआ शुरू तब लगा है यह साल प्यार का देखते देखते गुज़रा वक़्त मिला नहीं कोई रास्ता दीदार का पर फिर भी करते रहे इंतेज़ार आने वाले ...

दिल की बातें, दिल ही जाने है वो दिमाग से जुदा है वो एक पहेली सी.. आप आए है जबसे हमारी ज़िन्दगी में होने लगी है वो बातें जानी पहचानी सी.... दिनभर बैठ कर सोचते हैं बस याद करते हैं.. वो पल ...

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage..." The hearts desire is to be loved and reciprocate the same. I was never a poet but now it automatically hymns new lines... It's reflection of the effect that you've been having on me... When you feel like singing all the songs out loud... When you feel like dancing to every beat... When you just want the time to rewind the days.... It's a feeling that your mind is over working.... When you can talk for hours without even realising the time... When the conversations just grow on you and you become fonder every passing day... It's a feeling that your heart has found its companion... When you crave that the meetings don't end.... The time stands still and you just stay there with hands held together... The hugs and cuddles just increase the longevity of prospect of being together... It's a sign that the PERSON IS THE ONE...

यह 15 दिन ऐसे होंगे सोचा ना था... जब मिलने गई थी तब पता ना था की वह मुलाक़ात इतनी खूबसूरत होगी... की वक़्त वहीं थम जाएगा... यह 15 दिन ऐसे होंगे सोचा ना था... Conversations began that day but I sincerely pray they continue for the years to come... The vision of times ahead look pretty and clear... The vibrancy of us just brings butterflies... शाय...

आज पीछे मुड़ के देखूँ तब पता चलता है कि ज़िन्दगी कहती है आगे बढ़ती चल मैं तेरे साथ हूँ जब यह देखूँ की मैं कितनी आगे आगई तब लगता है की कुछ बदल गया मैं बदल गई !!!! It's been ages since I updated my blog but my thoughts never left my side.. To begin with I think some level of maturity has set in and I am surprised at the self control that is visible. Is it probably I'm turning older or it is a subtle sign that says you've changed baby? I think it's both ways....  Now when the Facebook timeline reflects my memories I literally laugh and can see different I was. It's been a a hell lot of a road trip with sunny days, thunderstorms and rains! The puddles were a pit stop to reflect and look into what lays ahead and what it was. It was fun to play with different emotions as they splashed colours into my black and white paint book. The sun glasses were the moments that were meant to be showed off and be bold about. Crazy were the days where you just want to be off the ...

When good things happen unexpectedly they always bring the biggest of smiles on your face! I think that's the reason I feel something better is in-store for us when things are not favourable to us... A couple of months back I met a couple of my friends after a gap of a year and we could share major chunks of the previous year without the assumed awkwardness and hesitation... I knew I wasn't happy with my current position and conditions but one of my friend sensed my apprehensions and she found a way for smooth discussion.. She actually helped me vent out and it so happened that now when I look back I can actually thank her for meeting me and opening the doors that I had not cared to peep into... After a week or two, the scenario changed and I landed with two unexpected opportunities for which I had to sit for two major interviews.. Both of them different from one another yet important in their own way... And I received positive answers for both of them.. The firs...

"You know when you left he was heartbroken, he literally cried through the day. I've never seen him like that." "You don't even know what kind of pain I have been through! You left a gaping hole inside me.." Ramya and Ranjeet were childhood friends. Their mutual liking towards one another made them take the next step and they were a couple. Everyone called them a happy couple who knew one another well enough to handle any situation. Like any other relationship they found ways to be with one another, whatsapp, Skype, SMS, call, mail... They balanced one another and kept aside their ego's. Both of them took a decision to maintain their friendship if things don't work in the favor of their relationship. They grew as the relationship grew but none of them noticed that they were not being themselves... They ignored a big part of understanding their own self that had actually brought them together. Ramya started finding faults in everything Ranjee...

" We were both young when I first saw you " An arranged meeting that set the pace for the upcoming conversations... We decided to believe in it and accept it as destined... Not knowing that it will become our life... Came the days when we could walk with beeming smiles and hands held together.. The phase of knowing each other started and we gradually started pouring our hearts out, not knowing that it's become a ritual... We aligned our goals to attaining small targets together.. Taking leaps of faith and trust we started connecting at a different level... Being patient was your motto and being sane was mine... There were a couple of disagreements but we remained still and didn't budge... We didn't let those struggles drive us crazy and time stood by our side to help us drive... It's been a bumpy ride but it's a long and lengthy ride as we know that this what makes us click... Honestly, I've never felt this way before and the credit goes to you fo...

I never used to being believe when people used to say that whatever you speak or think sometimes becomes a reality, until recently when it happened with me. I knew I was cribbing about work and was looking for a changeover when after the formalities I was struck with a grenade. I was not called back and left without work. My so-called friend didn't call or message me rather didn't inform me of the major change that took place. Was it meant to happen? Being a girl who is coming of age, my parents also started their research for their to-be-son-in-law with everyone in the loop. Yet there was zero luck and things are not positive till date with majority being rejections. Honestly I also used to run away when this question was popped in front of me! But, was it meant to happen? Yes, it was bound to happen like this! When I look back and see myself a couple of months back, I see an unhappy person who was trying to work things out and organizing them into proper order. I was a...

Sitting on the edge of the parapet wall, With an open diary and pen in hand, earplugs tucked in the ear and the sound of loud rock music blaring through them, Tears rolled down my cheeks and I wanted to shout out loud.. The open pages of my diary read my story.. Phase 1: Inaaya was the gift of Allah to this lovely couple. She was given the affection that every child craves for. She was loved by all and was treated like a princess. She understood the silence of her parents and respected everyone with utmost priority. Her priorities were limited and she was satisfied with what she had. As she grew up she found friends but none too close. She mingled with everyone but maintained a pause. Phase 2: Her first step into school and she thought she found her own space. Not too popular and not unknown she paved her way in the middle. She was always with friends yet was alone. She never felt the concern as her life had a meaning, she always felt complete. Her aloneness was her ...

Random scribbling before Valentine's... While sitting in the quiet corner of the house, looking outside the window I asked myself, "What is that you're looking for?" I didn't expect the answer but it came after a pause, "I'm yet to discover what I seek." Then I asked again, "Do you have any desires?" It replied, "Yes, I have many but I long for love." I didn't ask anything else, just silently sat beside the window. The answer stirred something inside me, it felt as if a dam broke inside. I lay awake at night pondering over the statement that came from within. Whenever I see couples who have spent most of their lives with one another, one see the love they share in their tiny moments together. That love is in their patience towards one another, the unspoken words, the phrases that the other completes, their gaze and so on. Whenever I  see a romantic movie, it just sets off a series of emotional responses inside me. I actually...

Lies get complicated, usually if you tell a lie, you have to tell another lie. And each lie turns into another lie and another lie, and it makes things complicated. Until, eventually, you're left with this big mess of lies.. that you can't find your way out of. When I was pursuing my graduation, I vividly remember my social psychology classes and particularly this class of non-verbal communication/ cues. I remember our teacher describing about the reactions in our body when we express different emotions; how we can distinguish between genuineness and lying etc. A lot of studies have been done on lying and if you 'Google - how to detect lying' you'll see a series of results that'll will provide you with details. But today I'm not going to write about my learning in social psychology class, rather I wanted to write about how deception actually makes you a different person. A lie is told to hide the truth that you know will devastate the lives of people...
