♥ Woman and Life ♥

Women and Life go hand in hand. This thought came to my mind not just once but repeatedly since I was 21. I have been observing how a woman contributes to every one's life. I don't say Men don't contribute. They do. However, I feel the contribution done by a woman is much more than a man. If I focus on just positives, then I can define a woman, from the majority of women, as patient, calm, courageous, alert, intuitive, prepared, organised, lovable, caring, discipline, affectionate, empathetic, controlling, leader, manager, worker (hard and smart), bold, determined etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on.

If I focus on negatives... umm...; I won't focus on negatives, for the more you focus on negative vibrations, the more the universe generates it for you. So, all good - nothing bad!! I hope and wish that all the women with the negative vibration on them soon focus on the positives in them and others.

Now, do you wanna know why this thought came to my mind over and over?

I had several incidents where I met people of different age, background and grade. I met people from different community, status and culture. When the guys are asked to do an impromptu speech on a topic; I found some of them make a story based on a woman or based on the woman of their life. Whatever may be the topic; the consensus of the speech would be a woman. Some focus more on their mother, some on their girl friend(s), some on their sister, and some on his wife. The most fascinating part is that the one who focus more on their girl friend, always... I focus again; 'always' wins the impromptu speech contest in the small group of people. I have also found some people, when asked to provide an introduction about them; they would focus on the girl of their life. And believe me or not, that person is highly appreciated by the group and gets a huge applauds. I asked few of my colleagues' kids for who is the favourite of them, Mommy or Daddy. The guys would usually say, Mommy. The girls would say Daddy in most of the cases, but there are few who still say, "I love my mommy!"

These small gestures urged me to think - Can't anyone live without women? We talk about women! We love women! We appreciate those who praise their women!

Also, these gestures questioned my brain with some negative questions too. I found some people know the trick to win the mandate and thus use the terms - girl friend and wife - and create story around them and present it before the audience. However, I also found that they actually doubt the potential of women. There are many for whom women are born for the house and work there. There are many for whom marriage is to bring a wife home. And that wife's job is to prepare and serve him and his family delicious food, to socialise with the neighbours, to bring children from school, to take them to doctor, to bring the groceries, to teach the children good lessons / morals, to take care of every one's health, and to give him the pleasure of life. I found such people giving wonderful speeches about their wife. However, do they really understand how much energy is she dealing with and she needs? Or do they just appreciate them for they do their job like a super woman? Do they really understand her deep desires and her deep feelings? I just hope they really do.

In those question and answer session, I wasn't the winner of that quiz; for I yet don't know some of the answers. I still don't have the answers.

However, I have come to know that without a loving woman, life would be like that seed deep under the ground waiting to be nurtured. Woman as a mother has the power to lay the foundation of a child, to make her/him a great person in life. (I will mention her instead of her/him - for 'her' is he standard to mean both the genders now-a-days). The mother not only nurtures the child after its birth, she starts to nurture the baby and baby's thought process, even when she is in the womb. It's what she sees, what she enjoys, what behaviour she receives, what she reads / writes, what she thinks about. Everything she goes through the pregnancy period that affects the child's mentality after birth. Woman has that potential in them to carry the baby in that open space with the web through which they feed the baby in their womb.

She knows when upset or angry or depressed a simple heartfelt hug or a gentle kiss can heal it. It's that caring pat on the face or head or the shoulder that can bring a peaceful sleep to anyone, from a baby to an adult to an old person. Have you guys ever slept near your mother's belly? I did several times; even when I was in my engineering studies. Not just that even now. Whenever I get a chance I do so. And the most amazing thing in this world is whenever I sleep near her belly, I feel so much peace as if there are no worries in my life. And within seconds I get deep sleep. I miss those moments so much now, at this moment, for my mom doesn't stay with me anymore, for I am married now. Who doesn't want a peaceful sleep! Everyone does. If you don't sleep some day and have your mother with you, just try sleeping on her lap, or near her belly. I guarantee you; you will get sleep within seconds. I wonder some time may be that's because that was the safest place before we landed on earth.

You know what's the thought coming on my mind now? I am thinking about the guys, who don't have their mother with them - what they will do. May be they can try to do the same with their wife. I believe that would yield similar result, but not same though. Still a caring hand and gentle pat on the head and face would result in almost same result.

Woman as friend, guide you selflessly, support selflessly, care for you selflessly too. Woman as sister is the most demanding and adorable. Woman as best friend are simply awesome; provide you have got a true friend, who loves not because of your color or status or education - but loves you because of what you are.

Woman as maid has the awesome power of cooking and cleaning 2-3 houses at a stretch and has the power to server you wonderful food (at times not to your taste). And yet after doing all these they serve their own family members. What a marvelous job!

These capabilities some time disturb me a lot and I find it really hard to distinguish life and woman. Shall I call life as a woman or a woman as life? If you have the answer, do let me know.

Until I write again...

The new makeup of nature @ Bangalore

Winter is over... and the nature is simply amazing in Bangalore now. Just few days back the nature appeared a bit sad and grumpy with its dark shades of color. Just a week has passed and the nature has colored itself so beautifully with bright colors that I can't make you feel this with these words. I have to show you the nature. The beautiful trees and their colors... its makes you feel the smell of lemon and that wakes you up completely...

On 2nd March, 2010 I posted a blog with the pics of nature. There was a tree in the first collage of the pic. Here's that tree then:


Here is the same tree with its new bright and vibrant color with its new leaves (taken on 10th March 2010):

This is just a small example... The nature is so beautiful that it appears as if we are in a new world with so much beauty and freshness around us. The leaves dance with such enthusiasm.. that it reminds me of the fast flying fairies of tinker bell animation movie. I just love watching them dance. While going to office when you see them I feel as if they are encouraging me, as if they are wishing me.... "Yeah GG! You can do it! Good Morning!! Make a great day ahead! Hooray!" Wow... it feels so good... I can't explain that any more.. You must feel that when you see them dancing around you, welcoming you.

Women of my life ♥

The women of my life... There are so many. When I was young my father would always scold me why don't you have girls as your friends. I always feel bad for I don't have any friends who are girls. And even those I have I don't like them much for their gossiping nature, some are proud of their beauty and skin color, some are too greedy of their parents' status / house / car, some are proud for their parents are both working and they have so much money...

Ah... Aren't there any sensible females in this world, who are far off from these stupid and nonsense nature? The more such girls I meet the more sad and hopeless I become.

I thank God for he gradually brought some really nice women in my life. First, my Mommy whom I never gave much attention to. I realised that later and she is the most loving and childlike women I have in my life, who even some time cries near me like a small baby for small small tensions in life. I feel good when she opens her heart in front of me, for she makes me feel that I am so close to her. Second is my little sister, Jolly, for she is the most adorable doll I have who is some time scared of me, but loves me and takes care of me more than me, myself. Third, is my best friend, Lipi, for she loves me like a daughter. She is like my second mother for I share almost everything with her. And she is the one who cares for me sometimes more than my mother. She is the one who was there with me in my bad times and has guided me like the light in the charcoal darkness.

There are many more women who later on showered upon me their care and affection, their love, their advice, fun, jokes. I met those ladies in Navi Mumbai as my colleague as my roommates. Anchal, Leena, Beena, and Preeti are such adorable roommates I had, who taught me so many lessons about the true life. I remember Anchal Dii giving advice to me about career and professional life. I remember Beena sharing her thoughts about my nature with me, her jokes, her laugh, flowers, dress designs... I recollect all those when I sit alone in serenity. I remember Leena fighting with the other two girls of our room for me. I remember the silent cold war with Preeti and the fight on a Friday morning. I feel amazing that after that fight how Beena had left both of us in the room for discussion during the weekend. We became truly good friends after that and had good times with each other. I love those memories. I love the dinner we four planned together, the dinner we had in Sagar hotel of Vashi, I will always cherish that memory always forever in my life.

Spending time with Gayathry, Vinitha, Vani, Dhanya, Suggu and my roommate Beena in office were my favourite pass time. Even me and some others are never used to Tea, still we all go together; we walk/talk while others savour tea. We take the fresh breeze, the freshness of the trees, the beautiful colors of the butterflies and the flowers.

Now I am slowly getting in touch with my school friends through social networking websites. And feels really good for I have so many friends who are girls. I prove my Dad wrong now. In numbers I may have very few friends; however, they are my true friends.

Happy women's day my darlings... I love you all and I miss you so much...

Thank you "Dost"

Wow!! I can't believe this... Its one year now of D and myself knowing each other. 3/5/2009 - the day when we shared our pics for the first time as part of the proposal through e-mail. The first time we wrote an e-mail to each other. The first time we spoke to each other, of course through e-mail only; no chance of talking over phone.

I went through all those e-mail we shared from that day till the day we met each other personally for the first time. Every thing came alive in front of my eyes. I could feel the freshness of the moment. Ofcourse this time I felt little funny when I read those e-mails. How childish I was, how straight forward I was! And how cool, take it easy kind of you were! Well, I have learnt a lot in this one year and things are going so smooth and so pretty now, that I get scared sometime, if someone will have an evil eye on us. God has been wonderful and has given so many surprises. Thank you Lord for giving such an adorable husband. I know he is the Diamond. Its just that the diamond was never cut in proper shape to be used for the crown. I will do that for you, but ofcourse with your assistance and help. I love you D for you are so wonderful, so sweet, just like a sweet innocent child who is unaware of any complicated feelings. I thank God, for he let me come into your life and share an undetachable, strong bond.

Watching a Sunrise

Good Morning!! Wow... It's a wonderful morning today. I see birds flying from the east towards me. Small, big, tiny all sizes of birds are flying in the subtle blue sky. The sky is so pure for there are no clouds to take away its beauty in its purest form.

My house's balconies face east. Early morning when we sit on our sofa in the hall or on the stair case of our balcony we see the sunrise. I had a chance today to get up before the sunrise. That's the reason I met the beautiful bride dressed in a light blue color garment.

The cool breeze coming along with the birds feels so fresh that it's tickling all the cells in my body. The smooth touch of the wind on my hair... umm... I can again go back to sleep. The lovely and fresh smell of the nature is making me hungry now. Not only me, it seems the roses and other flowers seem to be enjoying the weather and the most beautiful moment of the day. The way dance and wave their little petals... oooww... it's making me behave like a little child and play with them, stare them like I have seen some wonder I have never seen before.


I sit down on my stair case now and watch on those few tall trees in front of me, at around 70 meters away. That house is also beautiful... a very nice bungalow. Looks like a farm house. Well, the trees in their garden are tall and beautiful, with different variety of leaves. The sun is rising now slowly and the saffron color of it appears awesome. The sun rays among those trees appear to me as the focus light of the stages where actors/actresses perform. The grass must be feeling like VIPs with the spot light on them.


The sun is rising fast... hmm... as its summer here in Bengaluru now. Well, as the sun is moving up in the sky it's changing its garments. Now, it is dressed up in Orange color. Wow it's moving even faster up and up and up to the high sky, wearing a yellow color garment. Well, the clouds have finally come. May be they were waiting to the Sun to play hide and seek with it. It looks as if they are playing "catch me if you can". Some time it appears as if the Cloud is over the Sun, some time the Sun is over the Cloud. The hawk is swinging here and there, some time towards the Sun, some time away from it. Looks as if it's jealous of the Cloud and doesn't want it to play with the Sun. The sun is busy with the clouds and the hawk finally disappointed and has moved away towards the west along with the other chirping birds.


The sun is higher up in the sky now and the yellow garment is so bright that it's hard for me to look at it. And that's when I realised it's already 7:30 now and I better go get ready for my office. I take a last view at the scene from the corner of my eyes and get back to work. I feel so nice that my intuition tells me it's going to be a great day ahead. 

Here's a collage of my shots taken while savoring the beauty of nature...


Will catch you in my next blog...

Break Dancers on the Road

Have you seen any break dance? Oh! Yes. You must have - In the movies/videos/albums/concerts. However, have you seen any break dance on the road? May be, if for entertainment purpose / for some money to survive, you may have seen some break dancers performing on the corner of a street.

I have seen some break dancers performing on the road too. They perform break dance, not on the lonely corners of the street, but on the heavily populated streets. They perform amongst the traffic. It would need you to concentrate on the public to figure out where are they. You can't casually run on the side of the street to notice them.

When needed, they perform the steps that Hrithik Roshan performs in some of his movies. Are there are actress who perform such break dance? I can't recollect any of them. So, I feel it's ok to say that may be they are inspired by him. Thanks Hrithik for those steps on behalf of those break dancers. Remember the hand movements from his début movie, Kahona Pyar Hai (कहोना प्यार है), where he moves his hands and arms in a wave like pattern. Oh! My brother loves that step and imitates whenever he listens to that song. Well, I feel these dancers usually perform in a hurry may be and thus, some time their movements don't form a beautiful pattern together. And thus, at time you would wonder what step was that! As per my observations, you notice them easily when they perform faster.

The catalyst of this type of dance is not only the humans but also the animals and machines. The zig zag pattern formed by the various sizes of cars, buses, cabs, auto rickshaws, bikes on the road is the first most important platform for the break dancers. And the dogs, cows/bulls and the buffaloes - they help in giving the best dance steps. Every time they see them they learn a new step. How they learn? Well... you too can learn that. And you would learn it yourself - since you have to avoid the touch of their head or horn or their tail. Otherwise you would have a tough time escaping from their anger at times or you have a tough time removing the stain from your cloth. They are really scared of eve teasers and every time they see them they prepare themselves for the break dance. As soon as they reach closer they start performing.

I think I gave you enough of clues by now. It's time to reveal the secret break dancers. They are the 'Wo(men)' of this fast paced society in its traffic and population. On the roads if you notice these women who walk down to their house or shops, or even when they are walking towards the bus stop, they perform all sorts of break dance steps to avoid a collision with the person at the front. The small passage way and so much population and so less time left to reach the destination. All these things urge them to do such dance. Ah! How can I forget the stupid and nonsense eve teasers who sometime deliberately come close and try to thump them? They have no other option but to twist a little to avoid the hit. Men may not suffer to great extent and may just feel irrititated. But for women, it sometime raises the feeling of insecurity in them.

As a woman, I feel disgusted when I face these situations and have to perform the break dance. Same is the feeling when I husband face these situations. I, as part of the secret break dancers, feel pity for all the women/men, especially of India. The machines, the animals are fine - at least they don't make you feel insecure. But the eve teasers in the form of humans! Sometime even guys are not left by them. Well... we have the power to slap when we feel the performing the dance is not really necessary. However, that too sometime makes life tough afterwards.

God! I wish all of them have a safe journey from and to their destinations.
