Hapiness All it matters!!!

It’s a good time for me write something as its Sunday and I am sitting in office covering morning shift. Almost all of my work done which I planned to do in today’s shift. So what to write that’s what I am thinking listening music on my iPod which I recently got from my sister. She is great and very caring for me. So let’s talk about someone like us and while reading you may find yourself in that position and may be you should use a different approach. I am not going to write anything serious but whatever comes to my heart. It’s all about happiness at the end of the day right? Raj told to his friends at a gathering comprising of few friends. Raj knows by his straight forward attitude and down to earth person. He is the one that likes to keep up the good relationship with his friends and others. If he don’t like someone he will tell that person straight or avoid. He doesn’t like people with a two way attitude and likes to keep things simple. Working as a software professional in an IT firm and earning a decent salary to keep his family running. He has a small family with a younger brother and sister and parents. Father is retired and now spends time at home so he is bearing the responsibility of all. The discussion in that group went various topics including cinema, politics, terrorism, industrialization and later it came to religion and what one should think on that. When someone asked Raj to share his comments, Raj paused a bit and then said ‘No’. Everyone was surprised to know that as they were expecting a straight and hammered answer from him so that they can argue on what he said. But when everyone persuaded him to speak something he asked a question, ‘What you mean by religion in a single line?’ one said a way to connect with God. Some answered to feel the existence of God and his powers, some kept quite and thinking. Raj said this is the reason why I kept quite for this topic. It’s not about religion and what you think. Since all religion to my belief teaches good, but still we find the people in the same religion are not the same why? Is not that the same religion teaches things differently to different people so that one becomes rich and other becomes poor, some goes abroad to study and earn in dollars while some stays the entire life in a city battling for each rupee? It’s also not about what religion you follow. The most important thing for me is the respect for each religion including mine and the service to humanity. The day you get up what you think? Office? Tea served by your mom or wife? How to reach office? Traffic? Pollution? So many things come to your mind. But have you ever did thank to God for a day given to you when you gets up? have you ever tried to realize that the life you are living is far better than millions. You have a nice home, God has given you such a wonderful parents, you have a caring family, so is God not to be thanked for that atleast once in a day? Remember our parents say in our childhood that once you get up you do prayers in masjid, or go to temple or atleast join your hands and thank God for everything. Why we have changed? Our religion taught all this so why we are leaving the good things behind? Also religion is not the same for people. For rich and powerful religion is defined in a different way and for common people like us we are bound by old rituals. I am not saying that they are wrong but if that kills the emotions of individual then its not worth to take the burden on our shoulders. Religion is there to help the fellow people not to suppress them with burden. Religion is for making the life easier not restricted. Religion is a way of spreading love and not hatered. Religion is good and not bad, Religion is God and God is only one. Actually we are so much running in our own pace that we don’t have time to do all this. We think that earning money will make ourselves and others happy and we do tend to fall in the hands of our boss and behaves like a slave. Mind you guys if you are ready to become slave then its not the fault of your boss not to treat you like that. It’s a selfish world and if you are giving an opportunity to others to rule over you they will be happy to take that call. Why are we so scared with others? Why we don’t have faith on ourselves? Since for few good money we give up our personal life and then curse God that you made my life hell. Its not God its we and only we that are to be blamed for. We have 24 hours in a day half of the time we spent in office and work and then when its time to relax, we tend to think of the next day and how can we cheat people. All this goes in our mind all day and that not only spoils the day but the coming day which might have been great if you think in a positive manner. I know I am diverting from the topic but we all have to realize one thing as to what we want in life? I do know that we have several responsibilities in life and we have to bear them. This may end our social and personal life but if you find solutions to balance it then its not that difficult. I know I am not living my life to full extent but atleast I am happy and thank God for everything. I am sure that one day I will get all my goals and then its time for me to live happily. No one in this group can say that he or she is happy and if you think like that then my salute to them as they have rose from this normal world. Happiness is something that each and everyone is in hunt for. Its our positive mind set that will make us happy in all the situations. Here I need to connect the same with religion. We believe in our religion right and we believe in our God? Then if something happens to us something bad why we first curse the God? Why we cant thank him first and then request him to clear all this troubles soon? Also if any bad comes you will find your fellow people and friends tend to drift away from you? you might feel sometime that you are the only one left in this world and no one is there to help you? Why all such thoughts comes to our mind? Why cant we first pray to God and have a believe on him? Why can’t we have faith on ourselves and say to us that we can alone handle all this problems? Its just a matter of each one. Someone takes things with open hands someone tied their hands so of a problem rope comes near you your tied hands help it to circle around you and tie you. if you keep your hands open then any problem tie you can knot loose. Just believe in yourself. Believe in your religion and have faith in God. Trust each one and try to bring smile on as many faces as you can. After all at the end of the day its all about being Happy J

Well each one clapped for this wonderful thought and believe me I have written this note in one go whatever comes to my mind and hence you might not find a link but I hope there might have left some lessons for you all to bring in your life. All the best!!!

Dreams On Fire!!!

Part 1

Its being quite a while and I am still at the same place where I started. Well I am not stalking about anything related to my work or some goals but something personal that drives me motivated and happy here in office. I came across a girl few days back or I should say a month back and I really find her interesting and charming. And what I was talking above is that I want to know her and stand as a friend for her in time of needs, but still no success. Actually she is working in a different project which by any chance not related to my applications. It happens with me all the time so I won’t curse my fate, but things would have been different if she would have been in our team and I could have charmed her. To add to worse she is sitting far from my place and no way can I look her anytime. For that I need to go for a break and came back close to her place so that I can make feel my presence. I also don’t know if she have ever noticed me or not, but I want to be hopeful from my side and will try to continue this. No other feelings as such for her as I am very clear on my thoughts and really want to make her my friend. The reason for that is I feel very lonely in my office and there is no one special whom I can go along and can talk without any topic. Also not that I cant find anyone special or stare some more good girls, that I do but that good feeling to make friend to get to know that person is not. I used to have some very good friends before but all left and now it’s difficult to find someone matching your thoughts and creativity. Our mind works in a weird manner and so as our Heart, its not always attracted to some white face or slim physique, but also the behavior and grace on a persons face. I think I too look good and graceful to people but sometimes I feel they get a wrong impression and thinks in a negative manner. I am a kind of person that enjoys life and try to keep others happy whether it’s in office or at home. I feel if you can learn to be happy atleast in front of others then people will like you. So I was mentioning why I got attracted to that girl, the simple reason is because I saw a grace and charm on her face. Her beautiful smile and the sharp eyes by which she looks is something I don’t want to miss. Also I saw the creative aspect of her that impressed me even further. But I am still hunting how can I start friendship with her? How can I make her convince that I am a nice guy that knows the value of friendship? How can I bring myself noticed in front of her? All these are unanswered questions as of now, but I hope to get answers to all these very soon. I used to talk about this to my colleagues here and they joke on me with due respect for me. But the only reason for the talk that it makes me feel happy and gives me more confident that one day she will be my friend and I will be drinking coffee with her. Also everyday coming to office early so that I can see her most of the time and try to synchronize my coffee and canteen breaks with her. I believe she would have noticed me and if yes then I am glad and if not then no problem one day she will, I am very hopeful and optimistic. The reason for my shying and not approaching her is because I am like that, I prefer to stay and wait rather than spoil my reputation, because if I do so then the small happiness I am getting I will be deprived with that also. So let’s see how it goes and will continue writing this, wish me luck and hope the next write-up is about the coffee conversation with her. 

Part 2

It’s more that 10 days now and I haven’t got any response to my first note? So many questions are coming to my mind. The first threatening question is did she read my note or not? If not then where it has gone? Is that put in bin by the cleaning people? If that is true then definitely my fate is bad, very bad. These people never clean my desk for even a small paper like bus ticket, but for her desk they have removed one note. But the next thought coming to my mind is that if she has read that note then what might be her next reaction? Confused? Anger? Smile with confusion? Or No reaction. Not sure so many things are coming to my mind and it keeps me hunting for a clue. Whenever I see her I get no response. Then the basic question comes is that how can she know who wrote this? I don’t know her and she don’t know me so how can she guess that it might be the note from me? Well I guess she is very clever and by seeing I all day passing by couple of times and seeing her, she would have guessed it. But if she didn’t then what? How can I make feel the presence? Do I have to drop a new note with my name? Bad Idea ;)

Also on the positive side what I feel that whatever I wrote is clear and pure and I want to make her my friend. Well to me this is the best way to send a request for a friend. She is creative I know that and guess she like the idea. Or maybe that she is also feeling shy to come up and talk to me? Well may be the case but atleast she can come and start the conversation asking about the note. Also by her looks and confidence, she doesn’t look to me as shy. Even if she doesn’t want me as a friend then atleast I will be happy for the note I wrote that for. Well so many questions in mind but who can answer? Yes I know she can only answer but how? How can I get my first introduction with her? Also one of her friend I can say is in my project team, but she is also very sweet and I am still not in good books for her. Also it’s not a great idea to approach like that in my personal view. So let’s keep her out and also I will try to be friend of her. So what’s my next action plan? Still trying to figure that out. I just hope that she know me atleast so that I can help her in any situation. Till now I have proved to be a very good friend for all those close to me and the same thing I will offer her. The coffee with her right now seems much far away and I guess if this continues then I have to write few more disappointing notes before I write about the coffee conversation. God please help me on my mission  

Chalo then see you until the next note…

Part 3

It’s a sad moment for me but I am ending this story today. When I started my note I mentioned to write about the coffee conversation with her. But the way things are going its looking that she is not interested to have friendship with me. May be I am not good enough to be in her circle of friends. I guess my staring to her and making her feel that I am passing comments (though I am not) thought her that I am not a good guy. I don’t know but I feel because she is not in my project I am not able to make her as my friend. I hope that she doesn’t have attitude in her because if that’s the case then I will be sad that I made a wrong choice. But if she doesn’t want me as her friend then fine. So I am sorry about the promise for a coffee conversation. I am sad as my charm didn’t work on her and I need to rework on my approach to persons. I try to be good to people but most of the times people take it otherwise. So its time to say Good bye to her and let’s see if there is any new beginning to this. Thanks to my friends who have helped me to get information about her and notified me about her presence in office and canteen. I know its good to have a bunch of good friends but you miss someone in the group always and she might be the one of those. I hope she will remain happy in her group and with her friends. All the Best, Take Care All

Sick of being just a friend?

When you are attracted to a man or woman and want to be in a relationship with him or her, the worst thing that could happen is if you have to hear the dreaded words “let’s be friends” from him or her.

It is an awful situation when you are attracted to someone and all he or she feels for you is strictly platonic emotions. Therefore, to avoid being labelled the “friend,” you need to make certain from the very beginning that you don’t do anything to fall into that category.

Read on to find out if you are already in the friend zone, why you might have been put into that zone and how to avoid such a situation.

Signs you’re only a friend

Men and women usually find it very easy to talk to a friend about pretty much anything, with a friend it’s ok to be yourself and feel comfortable. But before jumping to conclusions and thinking that the person you are attracted to is so open with you because he or she likes you — watch out! You might be mistaken. You should know that you are already in the friend zone if:

• He or she tells you all about their problems with members of the opposite sex.

• He or she asks you for advice about the people they are attracted to.

• He or she tells you excitedly, “I just met this really great guy or girl!”

 

The reasons

The following are a few reasons why you have been bracketed into the friend category:

No attraction

Yes, the person you are attracted to might think you’re great company and genuinely like being with you, but that does not mean he or she wants a relationship with you. One reason might be because he or she is not attracted to you sexually. If this is the case, there is not much you can do about it. Different things turn on different people, so if there is no attraction to begin with, you could just appreciate having a good friend and move on.

Different priorities

People have a type and each individual looks for something in their partner that would compliment them. Another reason why someone might like you a lot but only as a friend is because you are probably just not his or her type. Don’t take this personally thinking there is something wrong with you. It just means he or she is looking for something that maybe you can’t give them. Just find someone who wants the same things as you and will like what you have to offer.

You might have been a doormat

He or she has given you friend status because you’re way too nice, too accommodating and too agreeable but only because you want to win he or she over— and they see through it. You try to impress too much. So if you want to win over the man or woman you like, don’t try too hard, it might turn them off.

 

Avoiding the situation

If you haven’t yet been given the friend tag, here are a few tips on how to avoid getting into that situation:

Play hard to get

Stop acting like his or her puppy dog and don’t be so available . Don’t get together with him or her at the drop of a hat. Wait a day or two to return one of their phone calls. Be a challenge, not a doormat.

Other men and women

The best way to get someone you like is to date other people. This may not always work but if he or she is even remotely attracted to you, it might convince him or her to date you, even if it is out if jealously. At least you will get that one date to win him or her over.

Ask for advice

Openly talk about other men and women and how hot they are. Ask him or her for advice about how you can get close to these men and women. If he or she likes you, they might just tell you what they want in a man or woman and how you fit the bill.

Treat him or her like a partner

Ask him or her out on dates and flirt with them. It will give them a hint that you are interested in more than just a friendship.

Be challenging

Keep him or her off balance. Be a challenge. Be unpredictable. Keep them guessing. There’s a huge difference between wanting someone and needing them — he or she will react with a lot more affection if they know you like them out of want rather than need.

A Letter

Hello my sweet, beautiful, cute, loving, adorable Darling,

I know you will be reading this letter when I have gone too far from you. I am not with you and I know that you are missing me. But before I say something else I want to say that I Love You. You are the only person in this world whom I really wanted to give my entire life. But unfortunately life was too short and I ran out of it. But one thing I want to say to you, never ever feel sad and please don’t let the drops from your eyes. Don’t be sad remembering that I am not with you, but recall the times that we spent together. You remember the first time we met in canteen and I actually stared you like a roadside Romeo. Well that was not a great impression I made at the first time, but you are so beautiful that anyone if see you will stare for a moment. But I finally made you believe that I am a nice guy. I was not from the lot of toppers but still you find me interesting. That time I was not sure what quality you saw me but I was happy that I have someone with whom I can spend time with. Remember the collage mornings, when I used to wait for you in the canteen? The tea there won’t be forgotten as not only the tea was good, but with you having a cup of tea in cold mornings was something to start for a great day. You know I fought with my Dad to get me a bike and the reason I told that ‘I don’t want to waste time in buses. But you know the real reason was to go for a ride with you during college and then weekends. Remember the movies we have seen together. The group that we have was so rocking. We are in still touch with quite a few people and I want you to be in touch with them. They are our real friends without any motive and we can trust them. I still remember the movie ‘Veer-Zaara’ where you want us to go alone and we managed to skip our group and went for it. It was one of the best romantic movies we have seen right? I know you cried a lot during the movie and the affect left for quite a few days. When I asked to keep chill as it was a movie and you told me that ‘It can happen to us also, you are a Muslim and I am Hindu. How can we make the society understand our feelings? How can we bridge this gap of religion? I am not that strong like Preity Zinta in the movie to wait for such a long as I love you a lot and I want to be with you always’. Those words really touched me and I seriously felt that I have to do something on this. But after few days we were back to normal and started going together. Remember the CCD outings? It was amazing right we used to go every 15 days on a weekend after office. We talk all the things happened in office though we already talked that on phone everyday but still we never felt bored talking same thing again and again. I feel this is true love when whatever your partner says, you never feel bore and want her/him to say days and days. You know one thing about you? You have a very sweet voice. I had all your songs sung by you in my mobile and whenever I felt of listening them I had that on one button. Remember the park we used to go and sit at the same place and we used to play antakshari? People around us used to see but we enjoy the moment and sometimes others joined us. You are the source of inspiration dear and you made me feel special with you. So what this means that you are still special. Also I can’t forget the phone talks and the way I used to tease you with my stupid talks just to see how beautiful you look in that sweet angry face. And when I used to ask for sorry and with a small gift of flowers a sweet tiny little smile around your face causing a dimple on right cheek and spreading your lips apart. My God I can do anything for this and any lover in this world can do for her partner. Keep that smile always and get flowers daily and keep that in the pot I gifted you. You remember one daring stuff that we did and actually would have landed in trouble? But I salute you for your bravery and from there you not only were my loving darling but also I respected your commitment. We managed to bring Aakash and Aakansha to temple and have them married. They were like us only right and that made us to help them to start a new life. And remember being in that mandir we hold our hands together and prayed that God we also want to come like this one day. Also the lonely nights we used to walk alongside the sea shore, eating paani poori, chola, lemon juice. I know you love paani poori and keep that habit alive as it was much more for me seeing you eating. I took so many snaps of yours eating that with a mouth full open and you can’t do anything. Remember I used to call gol gappu whenever u eat paani poori and you look awesome with that face and then asking for water after the spicy paani poori. I have given you so many names for each and every time, just pen down sometime and write a single best moment related to that name. the first I will write as a start for you: “Zaara, sitting in theatre with your hand in mine and seeing each other with a caring and loving face and promising each other without saying a single word that we will be together always and will make our Veer-Zaara”. So rest of the work you have to do it for me. Only write the things that will bring smile on your face as the day we met till the day I left, I only wanted to make you happy, bring smile on your face. Read somewhere and so many tells that in love you should always give. True I agree on that because when you give 1% in love more than 1% you get back so never we are in loss and that’s why we always want to get maximum returns and we give give and give. I know I haven’t given you too many costly gifts, infact none I can say as costly gift. But you have accepted it with such joy that you have got a Kohinoor diamond. One more thing of giving you simple and low cost gift is that better to give 10 simple gifts rather than one costly as I will miss the 9 smiles and 9 beautiful expressions of yours. Also you never expected from me for a costly gift and I took that advantage, ha ha ha. It was so funny to fight for small things and you have learnt so many things just for my sake. I am sorry that all those things you gave me I can’t take with me on my final journey, but I am taking the muffler you made for me. If I feel cold on my journey, I can use it right. Oh dear I want to write more and more but my heart and mind are not with me. They want me to leave, but I am asking them to hold for few more time. I wanted to see you during my last time, but I know you won’t know all this and I don’t want to leave this world seeing you crying. I am no more with you Zaara but I want you to remember me, not by missing me, but recalling all the sweet memories that we spent together. Till I am with you, we always used to cherish the small moments and not just be happy in our own but also tried to make others happy. Keep on visiting the kids we used to go often and spend some time with them. We were fortunate to have so many people around but those kids have no one to take care and I will feel happy if you can spend some time with them. It will give you mental peace and making them smile will bring smile on your face. You might think it’s easy for me to write all this, but believe me dear, I don’t want to leave you, I don’t want to go from this world. What I will do after this? There was hardly a day in many many years that I have not called you, messaged you, saw you, met you, and spent time together with you. What I am gonna do is my next thinking. Just want to say few more that ‘Remember me in a way that I will bring smile on your face’ remember this dialog from the movie ‘Tum Bin’ J

So I want you to do exactly like this, I m no more with you but you will find myself, my words advising you to be happy and make others happy. Okay dear its time for me to go… wont promise but I will see you again not so soon but surely I will be back…

 From: ………………………………

 

Smile a lot, it cost you nothing but can make few others to use this valuable gem.

Love is like river, let it flow and you will come across different banks, letting it stagnant will make it spoil.

Life moves on and so as we. Love is life so it also has to move on.

Remember the greatest three words you can say to a person and a person can say to you ‘I Love You’

TJY Specials...

Its Jan 11, the morning air seems to be something different. It’s not all the chaos and havoc to rush to bathrooms and toilets to get ready quickly. We were approaching to our final destination Mumbai Central after completing the long, exciting and unforgettable journey across India covering 13 cities from down South to East to North and West. For most of us like me I didn’t want to end this journey as it has given so much to all of us that no one would have expected from it. When I came to know about this Yatra, I compared the same with the TV reality show ‘Big Boss’ but with a difference of not being locked in a house but in a train and travelling various parts of India and meeting different role models and people of high caliber. It’s a different world altogether and a journey of lifetime which each of one experienced at the end. So many things to be recalled and will write on each day separately. The one especially for boys was the experience using toilets to take bath. The first night in train when as a facilitator got buckets and mugs for toilets, I understood that we might not get enough chance to use the common bathrooms as it was mend only to serve girls or I can say the priority was obviously for them. That’s the reason we thought of having that converted coach near the girls compartment. It was chaos and confusion during the initial part of the journey for using bathrooms but later on the time slots was decided and announced using the common speaker from the control room. But like me many boys were used to use toilets for taking bath and we in our compartment made one toilet to be used for taking bath. There was also one disconnected bathroom and our group was the first to use that when our train was on halt at Kochivelli (near to Trivandrum) station. Taking bath always was a pain as we need to get up early and join the queue. I used to take bath daily and sometimes twice a day hence for me it was a good experience. Also to take bath in a running train is another hell of a fun as you need to keep yourself balanced. Also when we moved towards north to Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Delhi, the climate was very cold and we didn’t have any provision for hot water. But then also few brave of us took bath with the cold (chilled) water. Also so many of us lost the soap dipping in toilet hole and need to get new, funny right.

The next thing was about food served. We and personally I never thought and expected to get such nice food not just one day but throughout 18 days of Yatra. We have been served with so many wonderful dishes starting from day 1. Hats Off to the catering staff and all of us are very thankful to them. It was not about different varieties but also the quality they maintained. We got one opportunity during New Years Eve when we decided to felicitate the catering staff. We had differences with the organizing team initially to spend all the money in celebrations but they understood when we told the cause and split the money to achieve both. I personally thank them all and heartiest thanks to all my friends who contributed with physical labor to arrange a memorable New Year. It was the finest New Year start that we all could have made and we felt that we served a part of the Yatra and maintained the true Spirit. For that we all got a nice word of appreciation from Shashank Sir and Revathi Mam.

The next big thing about the Yatra was the Role Model visits. It opened up a broad spectrum of life and gave so much that no one can thought of in his/her dreams. To me personally I felt that it’s not always about money that we should work for. Something in life deserves your attention and as a responsible citizen we need to serve the society. That one feeling of serving others in various different means is what I achieved. Also it’s not all about serving your family & friends but out of the comfort zone to help the needy ones. A few role models and organizations that impacted me and will always be in my mind is Dr. V of Aravind Eye Care, Naandi Foundation and Mr. Manoj Kumar, the CEO, Goonj in Delhi and its Head Mr. Anshu Gupta and his Wife. These people had given so much to the society that I really felt shameful of myself. We used to talk about growing big about our country India, but where actually India exists we are not at all concerned. Few teachings I got from these is to never lost patience, start simple, grow steady, maintain sustainability, target people and make them join with the mission.

So many things to share and I will do that in my story in detail. The morning wake up call in train, the songs from bollywood and Hollywood movies, if we didn’t like the song we mute the speaker, the songs which we like we use to dance together. All the common announcements in train via control room and trying to avoid sometimes. The smiling and cheering faces of the yatris and managing team, getting off from the train to rush to the buses, the direction team management to guide yatris, finding a nice window seat to capture the city in cam, the sleeping in the common room and during sessions and visits. Trying to remember as many faces and names, especially of Girls. Playing games, singing songs, dancing in train, buses, platform and the list goes on and on and on.

Also a very exciting and emotional end of the Yatra the last night in Anand. With all the managing team sharing their last word. And this I put intentionally at the end is the singing of ‘Yaaron Chalo…’ It really became the anthem of this Yatra and we not only sang at all times but we danced and mimicked few people performing that also. We have reached Mumbai and now all back to their life, work, and college. But now we are a different person altogether that won’t think the way we used to 20 days back. And I hope that we from 350 can and will surely do that will make this Yatra worth, also at the end of the day we all want to sleep in peace and what best you can get if you can bring smile not on thousands or millions right now, but to only few. I wish all of us a very best of luck in life and we as a team can really bring out a change and difference in India.
