a NeW LiFe!!!

Happy is the occasion


Happier we become,

to rejoice the happiest moment,

when we are together as one!!!

Love Arranged

   Certain things are destined to happen and among all such things one is marriage which holds an important rather a prodigious position in Indian society. True that Marriage is made in heaven but arranged on earth.

When you say nothing at all...

A thousand words to be heard, a thousand talks to be said,

As we move together in our life ahead.

Yet your silence covers it all,

Leaving me absolutely enthrall.

My Dad- My Love, My Strength

  

 During my childhood whenever I use to hear the punch line of some product Brand “My Daddy Strongest” I used to repeat it with full enthusiasm and used to laugh at the top of my voice. As I grew up I realize yes My Dad is the strongest person I have met and I will ever meet. I share a very different and unique relationship with my father. I laugh and play with him, I cry and share all my fears with him and I argue and fight with him. To me My Dad is my ideal, my guide, my inspiration, my strength, my friend, my best critic and my first love.

Magical TRESemme...:)

   How often it has happened that you are sitting alone in your room, all dull and a surprise knock at your door. Not quite often!!

  My luck favored me this time. I just had returned back to Chennai (the least I want to happen) from my home after a superb holiday. Dull and gloomy due to the humid weather, exhausted by the journey I was sitting in my room not knowing what to do when suddenly my landlord called me and told that he has received a parcel on my name and he handed it to me.

I was a bit surprised completely unaware of what it was.

Glass Ceiling or Career Labyrinth

  Glass Ceiling a word commonly heard off especially at the highest level of powers at workplace. The word originated, primarily to be used in context of women in a Wall Street Journal story in 1986. It is a metaphor referring to an invisible barrier which is subtle and transparent, yet so strong that it prevents women from moving up the corporate hierarchy.

to Choose or not to Choose

Night, 11 o’ clock

  Rajiv could not stop smiling as he entered his room. His heart was thumping hard and his mind was constantly thinking of her. She looked so heavenly beautiful. That black dress was perfectly made for her. She was looking like a goddess that even Snow White’s mirror would have broken after seeing her beauty. He remembered how he could not take off his eyes from her. Her beautiful dark brown curls reaching her waist, the pearl white studs and the necklace enhancing her beauty even more, the black kohl and the shimmering silver shadow on her doe eyes, the pink gloss on her lips, everything was perfect. The sound of the tinkling beads of her rhodium polished sliver bracelet that embraced her soft hands was still echoing in his ears. He thought of it all and how dearly he wanted to hold them.

Your Life...Your Mirror!!!

  That day, I woke up went to the bathroom and looked at my mirror to see my own reflection.

Divine is You!!!

Dinner tonight?

Catch you at eight!!

That was a compelling invite,

For what was to become a memorable date!!

My journey towards Blogger

Ok, this one comes straight from the heart, “Direct Dil Se”.

…that day I started my Blog

   I would like to confess that I am not an avid reader.I had never thought of something like blogging two years before. To be more precise I never took any hobby seriously. 

   When I joint my first company immediately after my college everything was fun; my fresh position, my office, my new friends,a different place and of course a handsome salary. Life seemed to be the best at that particular instant till that day when I was alone with nothing to do. Bored I tried several things but nothing was hitting off well. I realized that I definitely need something which can be with me forever and on a deeper retrospection I realized the thoughts, my feelings and my emotions are always with me. So I decided to pour down my heart. And that day I started blogging.

Shave or Crave

   Remember my love our first date,

Roof top, roses, candles everything so ornate.

   You were there handsome and tall,

You were my dream man, clean shaved, shining above all!!!
