DAY 2(21st december,2009)

You know what..being good is also harmful at times. No.. this is not a self appraisal blog and neither is it against any crunch of the world. Its just a mere fact..a big dotted fact!
And you would also nod your head in the approval I am sure... as the writing proceeds.
"Ohh...he is your friend?? Yeah fine with me...but you don't know the world. Everyone is here to befool you...to take advantage of you being a girl."
"But dad...he is just a very very good friend..!"
"Fine... do whatever you want to..but don't blame me in the future!"
An 18 year old middle class girl who has shared her barbie doll's secrets to her first crush experiences to her dad is just entangled in those few words. God knows whats in her head. God knows what would be her next step. But she is a blind believer in her parents. She is not a great daughter or an imprisoned child. She is just a dependent child who has always thought and decided to follow the footprints.
Next step... "hey friend...I am really sorry but I think I would never like to talk to you in future. take care. bye"
Time passes to another year....
"You know what ......the breed belonging to this religion is always disloyal...dishonest and backstabbers. Mark my words."
"But dad...you cannot generalise everyone!"
"Fine with me..but don't blame me in the future."
Next step..."hey..Yeah you are right..we are in the same class..but I am sorry....kindly pardon your last name please."
A couple of years more...
"I know she is your best friend...but why cant she come to meet you??...and by the way whats the need to meet in a mall??...You have returned from hostel...Don't you think whoever wants to meet you should come by herself"
"But dad..i wanna meet her parents and brothers as well..its been so long!"
"Fine..no problem with me but don't blame me in the future"
Next step..."hey sweetie...sorry yaar...but i think its gonna rain heavily today..and tomorrow I have to leave too. If by any chance i catch a viral...then it would be difficult to handle"
Days and months and years passes...
"You don't even know the way to ABC road...how dumb are you??...I am sick and tired of you kids"
"But dad.. you never allowed me to go anywhere..how am I supposed to know?"
"Right! all is my fault...you are a saint..I know where you have been wandering about these years..what you have been upto?"
"Is that all the trust u have and had in me till date?"
"Meet my friend beta...He is Mr. XYZ"
"But isn't he of the same breed you told me dad?"
But you know what...time is an irreversible cycle. What is gone is gone. And still there is so much to lose. What I can do is just watch it being carried away.
Its not against the generation...its not against the thoughts.
It is against myself to be accussed of having a brain to understand the difference between right and wrong and being able to convert it into a bunch of words.

DAY 316 (Hear, Hear!)

 Have you ever experienced the pain of being unheard?  You are talking to your elders pouring your heart out and they are just mindlessly nodding their heads and sometimes even not that. You are in a room full of people where you are at the table as part of a decision maker but people talk over you or repeat the same things you said and getting acknowledged while it seems your voice didn't reach them? You are talking to your children and they shut the door on your face or after 5 mins ask you to repeat what you said because they were not listening? Your texts being read but are not replied to? Your spouse engaging you in a guessing game where you guess whether he/she heard you or not because you don't get any response? How do you deal with such situations? How to be heard? How to be respected when you speak? Some people might say talking is an art. You need to learn how to say what you want to say so as it makes an impact. Okay. I can agree with this for a public speaking situa

DAY 313 (Retrospection)

There always comes a time in life when you retrospect past few months/years and decide what needs changing. Sometimes the changes are in your routine, sometimes the people surrounding you and other times starting new things for your own good. My retrospection gave me all three recently! It is overwhelming to realize at times that you were roaming in the wrong lanes and had you not done this exercise, you might have done a lot of damage to your own.  I got this habit or rather this alarm of awareness ever since I was in 9th standard or somewhere around same age where I kind of auto-fix myself with this exercise. It is usually a hit and trial but the self awareness makes me more independent every time I do it. This exercise is also very helpful in thinking about myself (just me and no one else) which no one else would do so selflessly. It is such a basic thing but I see so many people forgetting to just think about themselves. They would think about their ageing parents, their spouses, t

DAY 41 (G-talk...Men not allowed..!!!)

Oh..I knew it..!!! Reading the title would have applied all forces of magnetism to all the guys there...and this post is gonna get visited by record-breaking number of guys...he he!! But..you know what boys???...its gonna award you with nothing mouth-watering (yes I know what you are hoping for..!!!) So...all my girl-friends lets start the group discussion here.. Actually I wanna check if I am an exception here (which i do not think I am)...or is it the regular scenario?? Well...the general perception says that girls are freakingly obsessed about their regular visits to beauty parlours just to cover up the the little flaws they have in their looks. But thats not true according to me. I'll tell you my personal experience. Yes..its not that that I do not care about the split ends or the growing unshaped things just above my beautiful eyes (wink..!!..wink..!!) but there is also this fact..that I have to really work hard to be mentally prepared to take the pains to go for these
