Lovesong

Aah listening to Adele – Lovesong ……
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f1D9kHogq0
……makes me all squishy wishy inside.
“However far away, I will always love you, however long I stay I will always love you, whatever words I say I will always love you…….”
Adele, so young yet so true and deep!
There are times when we say things, believe in them, mean it with all our hearts and maybe God is watching over us, because he makes them true. True for life, true for eternity, words suspended in space and time forever!
And then years later even when your mind fools you into believing, those words were not true, years later, your heart tells you otherwise. It tells you that when you spoke, you meant it, you believed, believed from the depths of your soul and the same soul will never let you forget those words spoken, and you will have an eternity left, to wonder why the hell didn't you just SHUT UP and sit!
Lesson: The guy who said, “silence is golden”, was not kidding!

An ode to D-404..........................Malad (W) :-D

After 2 days of moving and shopping and moving again, I’m finally in my new flat. Alone and reallllly philosophical. So, please don’t wish me dead ;-)

MY home, MY place.

Strange how we want pieces that don’t feel or don’t care.
People who don’t do or share.
Names that mean nothing and
places with nothing to offer but suspicious stares.

When does an empty house become a home,
A day becomes your life,
A stranger who never leaves you alone,
When through the dark shines a ray of light.

Pray that light shines about you to heaven,
Black doesn’t catch up to your life,
Pray you illuminate from here until the end,
Because only when the light shines you will see heaven again!

Behold….Sheila ki jawani auntie!!


A very, very good friend just told me that her 3.5 yr old daughter wants to grow up and become Shiela ki jawaani auntie. Well…..ummm good choice? What do I say?!! When I was her age I don’t think I ever wanted to grow up and become anything other than my mom. And a few years later it was doctor on Monday, politician on Tuesday, James Bond on Wednesday….so on and so forth.
So this reminded me of all those little girls with their Hannah Montana accessories and the perfect Barbie doll outfits. In fact, one of them always, always walked on her toes like a ballerina.
Hmm looks like skin deep beauty is deeper than we thought. Deeper than all our culture and tradition put together. Don’t get me wrong, I obsesses, literally obsess over what I have to wear and my skin and cosmetics(also my weight, but that's a secret). Every time I tell someone that I am a mom….I actually, desperately expect them to say “Oh my god, you look so young. I thought you weren’t even married.” Always makes my day, leaves me grinning like an idiot for the next week at least.
However, back to the question of my lovely 3.5 yr old son’s 3.5 year old best friend. Aww come on, you look so much more adorable and beautiful and amazing than all the Sheilas, Munnis, Angelinas and Lindsays put together. And you would always! But you know what, have more than just your awesome looks to fall back on. Have a fabulous brain to carry on those perfect shoulders.
No one cares if you are a Kalpana Chawla or a Katrina Kaif, be someone, do something and don’t just exist. Dazzle!
