Friends Forever

My very first attempt at poetry! Please share your views!

i love all my friends

i thank GOD for showing me this trend

of love and friends.

they are my lifeline

and help me outshine

in the rat race of  excellence

they spread their fragrance

as the rose amidst its thorns.

together we cry 

together we say hi!!

together we play 

together we say

FRIENDS FOREVER

Of religion and Belief


India being a diverse country has people following many religions. Hinduism, Sikhism, Christianity to name a few. Each religion has its own rules, traditions, customs one has to follow. But there's one thing common in all religions, you are remembering that one supreme power, whatever name you may give!

We remember God whenever we are in stress, have been struck in a severe problem or are just not happy with the circumstances. We walk miles to reach a particular temple, spend a lump sum on donations. But is all this "Social Exhibition" worth it?  Are you really sure your prayers are being heard when at one side you leave no leaf unturned to become a proper religious person and on the other side you have dirt filled in your mind? You are not a balanced person yet you ask others to maintain balance in their life? Prayers said in silence, without letting any one know about it, without any one asking you to pray, are the one's which are truly effective. You can help the needy, distressed, and are always calm with everything you do- that's when your prayers (Verbal or not) are effective.
Praying 24*7 before your exams, in times of crisis and then forgetting about every single word you said in front of the Almighty- Is this your belief? Weren't we always taught the motto "Give to be Given"? You want God to help you, but do you thank Him in your happy times? Do you tell Him about the amazing happy moments you experience everyday?

If not, I am sorry, my friends, you are no way religious! You are just pretending to be one and it just won't help you!! There's a popular hindi saying "कर्म करते जा, फल की चिंता मत कर " If you do good deeds, No one can question your intentions and you will never ever feel the need to fake your feelings and become a religious person even if you are an atheist in your head!
Come my friends, lets understand the true meaning of religion and believe what our mind, heart wants us to do, not what our fellow people are doing. Following a religion is not at all bad, following it blindly and blaming it when you don't succeed is bad.

August Aagman



The alarm rings  and tells me its the most dreaded time of the day- 6 30 AM. I search for my phone all over my bed, turn off the alarm and go back to sleep. I then realize that the day I wait for, the whole year (after my Birthday) is finally here! Its the 1st of August, onset of the most favourite month after May.

A subtle smile spreads all over thinking about the various functions, parties, celebrations and holidays in the month! I really couldn't ask for more!!

To celebrate the love that I have for August, I pledge to write every single day till the end of August. I really hope, I'll succeed in this venture!!

Happy August guys!

An eventful day


Few days ago, on the 23rd of this month, I completed two decades on this Earth. I was very excited. Had been waiting for it since a very long time.As the days came near, i was rather sad than happy, it was an emotional transition! On one hand where I thought about the freedom it brought along with it, I was equally dejected of not being able to celebrate it with my family. Dad was out of town, mother ill, sister preparing for exams. I felt miserable. There was a phase when i even wanted to hate the day. Amidst all the mental torture that i had built up, My elder sister came with her daughter to celebrate my birthday.
Excited, was I? I guess calling that feeling "excitement" would be an understatement! Seeing my niece decked up in a Punjabi suit and a lot of makeup which she claimed to have done herself, She was looking not less than a princess! Friends, family called and wished me. I was suddenly feeling on top of the world! Celebrating your best day with your family is not less than a blessing.
We cut a cake, had snacks and that's when my niece decided to entertain us. She sang Punjabi Boliyan and danced to their tune. She is no professional dancer but the way she synced her steps with the wordings was simply incredible. I fell in love with her all over again! I was so happy with the way she danced that i made a decision to give her a token of love. I took her in my room and hugged her as hard as I could and squeezed in a note of Rs 50 in her hands. She revolted but I asked her to buy her favorite Ice Cream with the money without bothering her parents. The glow in her eyes is just unexplainable.
I am generally never happy in giving money to people without any reason. But here, I did it out of love I have for my niece. My happiness lies in her happiness. I want to see her successful in whatever she takes up. If such encouragement can help her realize her dream, then why not do it?

The day really was not less than a event for me! .

Innocence Can't be bought!


Due credit to the Source
You can buy almost everything with money, but can you buy Innocence? Can you buy the child  a lavish childhood, the precious jewels that he collects in the form of relationship, lessons, Can you buy them?
Children are truly the epitome of innocence. In spite of being too young, they teach us the actual meaning of life! They teach us to live without any tensions in life; they actually spread happiness and love in life.
I am blessed to have a loving niece in my life. She not only loves me selflessly but also knows how to pamper me. She knows how to bring life in me! There are days when I am so tired and all I want is to sleep till I know it’s the next day.   One such day was when i had a very difficult exam and after i got back home, i went off to sleep, and the next thing i know is two little hands fiddling with my hair. I wake up and she quickly jumps in my lap! That moment was so amazing! No exchange of words, no selfish motive, it was so pure a love!
I kissed her and she lovingly said, “Maasi, Good luck for the next exam.. Leave the tension of today’s exam.. Its not worth it!”

I was spellbound! Children, as i said are carefree and too innocent and here is my niece who’s asking me not to take failures too seriously and move on to make a change in other exams!

I love such conversations with my niece! She, with her innocent tactics never fails to impress me. I wish she excels in whatever she aspires to become!!

I love you my kiddo! God bless you!

16 days left!!


2013 by far is proving to be a lucky year for me!! And why not? I complete 2 decades on Earth this year!!

WOAH! 2 decades! I can't contain my happiness, the excitement for my birthday and the feel of leaving those depressing teens behind is just not expressible

Unlike every year, I have decided not go for a lavish B'day party where no one turns up (Sad, but the truth), but offer my prayers in the Church and throw a small party for my lovely friends! That is one happening day, i think!
Birthday is one phase,I'd never want it to end.. I mean the feeling that you are getting older, responsible and can take up stuff in your own hands is just so... AMAZING! I can move around without being answerable to anyone yet stay in my limits! Oh, i really can't wait to experience the 20th year of my life!!

It sure is gonna be a roller coaster ride!!

Happy Birthday to me!!!
