A Few Lines...

Clouds come floating into my life,
no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add colour to my sunset sky.

The Expression I am Deprived of...

Angry Birds are so very lucky, at least luckier than I. They can be angry and express their anger. It is utterly disgusting when someone presents an imperative sentence in disguise of an interrogative one. The grammatical structure of the sentence leaves you with two options- Yes or no, but the way sentence is spoken does not leave you with any other option, but yes, regardless of your convenience. Your etiquettes and "idiotic altruism" imparted to you by your parents and some books stop you from showering some unpleasant statements to the person.

There are many things I need to learn, but there are very many things I need to unlearn.

Truth, Knowledge, Beauty, Humbleness and He...

There are people who make difference to your life just by being there, just by existing....

The other day after a hard day's work returned to home and switched on T.V...While was switching channels to find some sensible stuff, a face, pretty appealing to eyes, grabbed all my attention. Star World was showing Achiever's Club and that day they were interviewing Vikas Khanna, a chef who became much popular in India after his appearance in Master Chef. I already had read his biography and his blogs, but that day he was before me on the screen talking about his life, personal and professional...

Some people say that his popularity (esp. among his female fans) is much due to his looks...well in my case I would have admired him as much as i do now, even if i were blind. It is not his looks that make me so much attracted to him; nor does his title "One of the Sexiest Men Alive". It is his humbleness, his attitude, his life story and a touch of a common man in him that make me a huge fan of  his. His journey to what he  is today is very much inspirational. During his interview a few things that he said are worth a mention.

When he was asked why he went to New York when he was doing pretty well in India, the answer that he gave was fabulous: "My brother said that it is better to live one day of your life like a hero than to live a full life of an ordinary man."

He mentioned the book "The Secret" in his conversation, while he was talking about his persistent chase of his dreams. "When you want to achieve something, when you dream about something, just live for it until the universe shifts itself to make place for what you dream."

Somewhere in his conversation he said that it is very difficult to live somebody else's life. Live the way you are and live the life you want to live.

The above things are a few pearls that touched my heart. In a way they are very much known, but the way he was speaking and the way his eyes were shining when he spoke made them more real than the words of wisdom delivered by the so called scholars....

It is very difficult to fly high and still to keep your feet on ground...Vikas Khanna has very well done it. His honesty, his humbleness, his truthfulness reflect in his eyes, in his speech.

The interview made my day....

Fairy Tales and Rainbow...

Some dreams are like fairy tales. You know they will never come true, still you like them, you cherish them....they bring a smile on your face...they are as beautiful as a rainbow and as illusive as well...Their coming true can be termed no less than a miracle...and they say miracles do happen...
