Special moments(Post 1)

Moments come, Moments go..... Some moments we wait an entire lifetime to happen.....Such special moments is what life is all about... Truly, apart from these few special moments, life pretty much is the same for all of us.... It is these true moments in time that seperate each one of us from all the rest.... Take for example this....Jimmy & Gina[Hypothetical characters] truest of friends till the end of time[Perhaps something more than that but they still have kept it hidden from each other].... Something happens, Jimmy & Gina fall apart.... His words have hurt her.....Gina goes away, Jimmy is just watching her.....watching her....keeps watching her go away....fading into the distant horizon.........and then suddenly, he decides to run behind her to say a sorry.... Sorry for being so silly, sorry for over reacting, sorry for not understanding her........... Jimmy does something he never did before....... Run like hell, run amok, run crazy....he just wants her back in his life...... His brain has stopped functioning for good and it's his heart guiding him now.... Somehow,someway or the other, he manages to reach her before it's too late(let's say she was about to enter her house and once she entered her room, Gina generally did not come out again for the day).... It was just a minute(maybe 30 secs)....that's how close Jimmy came to his life getting detonated.... But that day, the Universe was conspiring senselessly for Jimmy and he too, was having absolutely crazy faith in the Universe that day..... She came back to meet him at that fated crossroads..... As she came, he still remembers like yesterday, her eyes, the longing in her eyes, the trust in her eyes(that he had broken), the faith she had in him.....perhaps, the love...she had for him.... That moment, that special moment, Jimmy's heart knew, was the most defining moment ever.... The funny thing about these wonderful moments is, you may practise hell lot for it to be perfect, but the truth is, if you simply let go at that moment and rest everything in the Universe, the entire script gets written beautifully.... Like the Lord himself is writing it down as it is happening... It is that wonderful.....Coming back to Jimmy, he just bent over and said a sorry alongwith a few other words,very softly and gently.... Life never was the same for Jimmy and Gina after that day..... No longer did they hide their love for each other..... They shared the beautifulest of memories when they were together...... A love like the heavens themselves..... They simply had so much to share and now, they were no longer restricted by any fearful thoughts...... Now just imagine this, Much later into their relationship(a rare but real relationship of Love and Friendship together) Gina confesses to Jimmy, if he had not come to her that day, she would have left him for forever....... Now switch back a vertigo in your mind to that moment when Jimmy was standing,standing and standing while Gina was going away..... What if Jimmy had just stood there, doing nothing? I shudder to think that... If you have the guts and courage, think this otherwise situation....
This is just one example of a special moment defining our future days to come.... Maybe this hypothetical situation sounds real to some of you and maybe it is indeed real for some of you....




P.S: This is a special section of my blog where I will continue to post further such Special moments which shape our lives... Take care. :)

Also, if there's a need for a new special moment post that you guys wish to have, lemme know... SMS, Call, email,et. al. :)

My Ice cream craze(in brief)

To me, Ice creams are more than just a thing to eat.... Summer,Winter, Autumn, Rains, Spring and some other season I don't know of, I ought to have an ice cream. Since a very young age, as long as i can remember, i recollect going with my family in Nagpur to have ice creams after our dinner and mom buying me an ice cream in the afternoons just after my school. I very vivdly remember the shops. :) That is like 16-17 years back..... Over the years too, when I couldn't get hold of ice creams properly when I was in Aarey Colony, a family pack always came by, whenever I had a strong urge to have ice creams. Those Aarey colony days, apart from the family packs, I used to live upon those "Choco-cones" from Chotta Kashmir. These choco cones were(and still are)a big hit with me whenever(if ever) i went for movies.... If I go out to any malls,even if I don't do/buy anything, an ice cream is always and always mandatory for me.... I simply cant get away from this one feitiesh of mine(and I don't want to either). Some of my best moments have been in the company of an ice cream... In fact, some of my relationships have had their founding stones laid with the help of ice creams(Sounds a bit weird I know...but people who matter know what I mean by this). That's how integral these frosty buddies have been to my existance. When I had my wisdom tooth extracted(before any wisdom was imparted to me), the docs advised me one thing.... Ice creams....lots of them.... I had teeth extraction five times in my life....everytime the pleasure of ice creams beat the pain of getting the tooth extracted by a long way off!! And yes, inspite of all these knock outs, I am super notorious at literally chewing and biting chunks of ice creams and eating them super fast if and when I have wished to. People find it scary but it's one talent I have developed over years of practise. :) The flavors i try to are very varied.....I love to venture into trying things which are difficult to spell. :) Of late, I am kind of hooked to feast ice creams.... Even when I was in Chennai, the feast and Arun Ice creans were a big hit with me.... I regret the fact that Kwality walls,though have kept the prices same for their ice creams, I have reduced the quantity they serve... It is very heartening for me to see and now I am seriously considering giving them a skip alltogether cuz there are as good as(and even better)ones at a much cheaper(or equal) rate....For my love for ice creams really has taken me to many places and try out many new things.... In fact, the shop "Gelato Gelato" at Dadar TT has some very very very special memories attached with it..... :) I,however, haven't been able to gift ice creams to anyone for an obvious reason that they melt. But still, my enthusiasm is always sky high when I see an ice cream in my hands.... People some times stare at the gullible,child like ways in which I eat ice creams. But that's ok... I am simply too engrossed in the work at hand.... :)

Do a good deed

Are you feeling low today,

How about doing a good deed today?

Are you thinking what do next,

How about doing a good deed today?

Go out there in the world,

& Do a good deed today;

Feel the happiness & Love of the highest form,

As you do a good deed today,

Feel the graditude,

When you do a good deed today,

Know, you are blessed,

As you do a good deed today,

So many people need your help,

Do a good deed today,

So many, less fortunate than you,

Uplift them,

By doing them a good deed today,

You feed as hungry stomach,

As you do a good deed today,

Feed a hungry soul,

Do a good deed today,

Experience a unique feeling,

You'd wish to relive forever,

That is your good deed for today,

Attain spirituality,

Gain Knowledge,

When you do a good deed today,

Share someone's burden,

Ease their pain,

Hear them out,

& Do a good deed today,

Or How about laughter,ROARING laughter,

As a good deed for the day,

Understand the joy of giving,

That's your good deed for today,

Love yourself,

That's your good deed,for everday. :)

If I am dying today....

Being a Robin Sharma fan, I decided to put my own version of If I am dying today.... Robin Sharma Sir has emphasised greatly on this one feeling and he says it brings about the best in us....

P.S: Much of the below things are a stuff of my imagination.
Again, this is version 1.0 . I ll release a much,better version soon. :)

If I am dying today....


I love her endlessly,
I play my Guitar for her,
I thank my family,and say to them, "I Love you" a 100 times,
I'd say to my Love,"I Love you" a 100 times,
I meditate to free me of all my remaining stress,
& Through the day,
Worry Less and Less,
I drive my bike,
At top speed on an empty road,
Exercise my best,
Put my strength to test,
Write a poem, to thank everyone, especially her,
Read a book's few pages,
That inspire me more and more,

Understand and forgive,
Smile for everybody,
Feel Love in everything around me,
Generously give,
Dance,
Laugh out Loud,
Entertain a crowd,
Share my Life with everybody,
Ask her to forgive me,
To compose music,
To sing along with my guitar,
To salute and pay tribute,
To my beautiful motherland,
I bungee-jump,
Swim,
Fly a fighter plane,
Fire a Machine Gun,
Play Cricket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I paint a beautiful picture of my Love, That wonderful smile,
Give away all the knowledge I have,
Do Sudarshan Kriya and Padmasadhana,
Play the Electric Guitar,
Meet Joe Satriani and Robin Sharma,
I spend my last moments with my family,
Tell them, "I love them & I'll miss them."
Click their photograph,
& Then,one of the hardest things for me,
Meet my Love, One last time,
Embrace her in my Arms,
Hold her tight and keep smiling,
To just see her & see her and see her.....
As much as I can,
Click her photograph,
and Tell her, " I will always Love you sweetheart, Please forgive me."




One last prayer,
To thank the Lord Almighty,
For this beautiful gift of Life,
& Quietly, with a smile,
Go off to sleep.

101 Reasons why I love you...

This list is a bit different than the other lists I have put up so far...in it's own unique ways.... By the title there doesn't seem anything much unique perhaps about it....but the uniqueness lies in the fact that I,one day,when I was in Chennai,simply out of the blue,decided to get down and start with this list. I thought to me, if I have to prepare such a list, let's do something different. That's when the idea of drawing hearts and writing a reason in each one of them came to my mind.... It sounded fun.... So I gave it a shot.... It was actually kinda tough going through it but somehow after 5 days, the entire thing was complete.... When I finished it, it really didn't seep into me what I had done and acheived until Pooja who first saw it commented on it. Though till then, I did felt some different kind of a vibe in me but just didn't know how to put into words. Pooja put into words perfectly for me,like she always does.....






P.S: I may put up a similar conventional type list soon. :)
