Lesson I learnt....

The Story Continues.............


On my way to office today in the hustle bustle of our very own local train. Two little kids caught my attention amidst the crowd of more than 100 passengers. The kids (a boy and a girl) were approximately 4 year old, the guy was quite mischievous and the girl fairly shy. The boy was trying to teach this girl alphabets and numeric and the girl of same age was trying to grasp it. I noticed a pattern with this boy, whenever he forgot few letters or numeric he started scolding the girl that she was not paying attention while trying to count on his fingers what the next letter is.

I noticed this few times and it buzzed me to my 1st message:-
DON'T REACT WHEN PEOPLE CRITICISE IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO HIDE THEIR INEFFICIENCY/FAULT.

I found this interesting and I continued listening to their conversation the boy started to spell and pronounce a word on a sign board which spelt as "PAY" which he pronounced as "P-a-wai".
You may found it very stupid but this got me to my 2nd message:-

EVERY INDIVIDUAL IS UNIQUE AND HAS ITS OWN SPECIAL ESSENCE BUT WHILE YOU ARE IN A GROUP/TEAM, YOU NEED TO CONTRIBUTE YOURSELF IN A WAY THAT YOU BRING A NEW VALUE/MEANING TO IT WITHOUT LOOSING YOUR OWN IDENTITY.

This journey of 15 minutes with these unknown kids got me this 2 valuable lessons which I will try to remember and practice everyday.

My Friends :)

Sometimes I do things I never meant to do,
Sometimes I go with things that ain’t even true,
Sometimes I keep flirting while I should be grave,
Sometimes I cry around and I think it’s brave.

I feel I am a little mad,
And my friends agree,
But they never make me sad,
And never keep me free.

I love them one and I love them all,
They are my precious treasure,
And whether my heart is big or small,
I will keep them there with pleasure.

Illegitimate dwellers in Society or rightful citizen “Women”

We girls would agree that we dread traveling in public transports like buses, visit public places without any company or just quietly wait for a friend in a lane. For most of the girls this is a fear we have been living with since our growing years.

Yes, we don’t feel safe the moment we leave our house we don’t want to be on a vacant lane, we can’t stand on road as the passing cars or bikes halt with an expression and yearning of a social or sexual encounter, We are afraid to travel in male’s compartment even though there might be less mass compared to ladies compartment as there is a chance of molestation. We are scared of travelling late night as people passing by think that she is broad minded look she is traveling so night so why not take a chance.

We suffer and have been suffering since ages in every public place as if we are not rightfully entitled to use it the same way as our opposite gender. The situation is even worse for girls below middle class they loose a chance of higher education, lucrative career mainly so because of the parents fright of letting them travelling in public places via public modes risking damage to their honor.


Why female is expected to remain careful, behave nicely as they might attract unwanted attention. Why can’t they be allowed a secure place in this society? Filthy messages at public places, shrewd comments while being out, raised eyebrows while hanging out with your male friends the list goes on and on. A male is allowed to just “hang out” while a female should always have a reason for that.

She is expected to be dressed appropriately or else should be ready for undue attention and comments. The harassment and insult continues everywhere. Very often a jolly and friendly girl is termed as an “easy catch” from her colleagues or batch mates.

These incidences cause equal damage as that of physical or sexual molestation. It is pity that after so many years of evolution of mankind one sex is still treated partially and even mistreated on many occasions. We beg your pardon dear brothers we need a life just as free as you after all I wasn’t designed to bear all the pain.

Dream World........Movies

Decades over decades movies or dream world has been inspiring, amusing us, tickling our funny bones, making us cry, making us aware and even misguide at many times. Here are my thoughts on the most amazing world in the universe the dream land movies……
For as long as I remember I have been watching movies of all genre ,laughing with a comedy, crying at a tragedy, quickly doing a guess work in a suspense or holding to my nerves in a thriller, even losing my night’s sleep after a horror flick ………It’s amazing to watch a drama which connects to you directly through your heart you know the people are plain actors and this is just a drama but movies have the power to let you forget the off-screen image and character of the person and for that few hours of you watching them on screen they are just the reel character which seems just so real…
Well I am a self confessed Movie Maniac who loves watching on-screen drama and being a part of the reel characters to the best I can…They just take you off your real life problems and what you are juggling with then is the play ……..I must say this has to be one of the most interesting profession where someone imagines a plot, writes a story, screenplay is written, and then some wonderful performances many to remember for eternity, the music, cinematography, costumes………so much for connecting with us…….I connect with you and I appreciate the efforts to make us forget our real life even if it is for 1 hr

Proud to be an Emotional Fool

Many times I hear people calling me an emotional fool and I agree but is it wrong to be an emotional fool? Let’s find out. I am human and the only quality that sets me apart from a beast and most of the animals is my emotional intelligence which enables to me to reflect my feelings with exactly similar expressions. Now the point is many and most of us control ourselves while expressing and an emotional fool just fails to do that. To an extent it may be true that an emotional fool might easily be fooled around and can be taken advantage in every step of life by everybody.

But the fact is many a time emotional people don’t get fooled they just respect others emotion and allow the person to feel that they are been fooled. Emotional Fools always try seeking a positive reason in every negative incident in life. God has blessed them with beautiful heart which feels and does not hesitate in expressing it. It’s easy for them to forgive, it’s hard for them to forget, they will care for you even if you don’t, they will still speak with you after saying they don’t want to, they will still be helpful to people who at some point have hurt them.

They think a lot about petty things because they love things around them, love comes naturally to them; they hardly hate anyone or anything. It’s easy to say you are an emotional fool but I feel lucky to be one as I feel almost everything around me. I may not be best communicator but I definitely can feel the unsaid, can understand your smile, can read your eyes, can wipe your tears. You may not want to be around me when you are happy but you certainly won’t find a better company when you are sad.
