My Sweetest Chuku ..!!

Many a times, I have found my blog readers (who are also my friends) complaining about why I am not writing about my family. The only reply I could give them is, "I have such a big family. How do I decide about whom to write as all are equally dear to me? All the same, I can't write about all of them in one go." I felt, this reply was sufficient for them to quieten. But today, am here with a very special post on a person who is very special and very very dear to me. She is the one for whom I will do everything (I mean it!) in the world. She is none other than my sweetest, cutest and wonderful little sister! Yups, that's right.. it's all about Chinki or Chuku (as I call her)!

Being 5 years younger than me, Chuku always would bring all her problems, tensions, confusions before me and I try to give her the best solution ever. I have seen her from her infancy through childhood and from childhood through her teens and each time I have loved her even more than before! We had fights, quarrels, arguments as is common between siblings but then, we had a quick patch up too. I really love the way she quarrels with me... I love the way she used to beat me (I wonder if the reverse is true too ;)). I love the way she behaves and talks and take cares. After leaving home, the one whom I miss more than anyone else is Chuku! She has become my informer... would relate me each and every happenings at home/in family, along with her own added thoughts, comments and feelings. She would also try to console me in the best possible way, so that I won't be too tensed. I really enjoy hearing that last part and keep wondering, how my sweet, little Chuku has grown up so fast! Now it's time for her to enter into a professional world and I am really really anxious about that... how would she manage all that? Being the youngest one in the family, she has been everyone's dear and favorite.. how will she bear the hard situations of the forth-coming life? May God bless her with all the strength she requires to sustain a successful life (She really believes that my prayers for her are always true. Hope this would be one too!). Chuku's presence in my life is the best gift I have ever received! Thanks a lot, God!

Love you Chuku, always and forever!


Some defeats are sweeter than victory but life is so short to realize this..!!

Sailing In The Titanic ..!!

It's been quite a long time (almost a year) that I have left my place... my college and my friends and not forgetting the fun filled moments! Life here is monotonous. Thankfully, friends are there who cheer me up, when I am out of my mood. Because of these friends, my life has changed a lot here... am no longer struck with the same boring life... I can always plan something... I can really go for all sorts of crazier activities which otherwise would have seemed difficult. Working the whole week, my mindset changes, hence am left with the weekends to recharge myself. Last weekend, I had a feeling of re-living the past days. Yes, I planned for a movie night! There were days when I had seen 4-5 movies continuously from dusk till dawn and also there were times when I have seen a movie continuously for 4-5 times! Though they sound crazy, yet they are still cherished. They have their own charm! Since Reshma was there, it was not a difficult thing for me. After a nice dinner, it was decided that she would stay with me that night so that we can have the same old and most remembered 'movie night'. "The Titanic" was chosen to play. Nothing could have been more special than that. It's the best of all the movies I have ever seen (including those of my all time fav, SRK). I always have a soft corner for this movie... its casting, its storyline, its set... everything is just perfect and what a heart-touching love story! I was in 5th grade when this movie came into light but I have liked this movie since then. As I write this post, I can still see the flashback of the movie, how dreadful it happened to those on board!

There are some 2-3 scenes in the movie which are just unforgettable... the best one is the musicians playing in the last scene, while all others are fighting to get into the life boats. That was simply awesome! I guess I have seen this particular scene, probably a 100 times! Second best scene, is when old Rose goes to the deck of the ship to drop the diamond in the ocean. I don't know why but this scene always makes me feel nostalgic and the third favorite scene is the dream which the old Rose sees, probably the last scene of the movie!

The giant RMS Titanic had an unfortunate fate yet it has created an unforgettable history in itself! But the movie Titanic had actually made my weekend! Hope to have such movie nights ahead!

This post is really special as the date of its publication is 17th... my lucky date ..!! Dedicated to the person, who has made it lucky for me..!!


The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we can never give enough of is love.

Lessons From Life ..!!

There's one thing which I have always believed... Life teaches the most! It is the best teacher, one of its kind which conducts the test first and then gives the lesson. During school days, I had never understood this point, probably my mindset was not that matured then but as time went ahead, I started realizing this fact. This realization didn't come all of a sudden... I literally had to come across various instances and now I strongly agree to the point. There are these simple things which mean a lot to one's life, which can create a hell lot difference in one's life... yet they are really small and simple to go unnoticed! Life has been my greatest teacher now, for what I have done so far is just out of my experience with life!

Some of the invaluable lessons which life has taught me are worth cherishing always. First one is, past is gone and we cannot change that, future is unknown and we cannot rely on that, what we have is the present and we can do all that we want with this present. Second, we need to be rather careful with time. If this time is gone means, it won't be back ever. Third, if ever you feel you are alone and you don't have anyone around you for support then you are wrong... there's a whole world on your side and that's your family! No matter, how bigger the problem is, they will surely guide you through. Fourth, friends are the people who extend their hands when you really want to go up and again there are 'so-called friends' who kick you from the top of the mountain so that you are gone forever. So one should be slow and careful in choosing friends and not believe anyone blindly. It hurts a lot when people you trust blindly... don't even think for a while before betraying you! Fifth, never lose your patience or confidence. They are the key to success and quite complementary to each other. If you have no patience, confidence won't show up and if you are not confident, there is no use of being patient! Sixth, never give up dreaming. Unless you dream... you won't realize how beautiful it is! Dreams only lead to commitment. Seventh, don't ever go by faces/looks... they are always deceptive. Eighth, spare some time of your life for others. You never know when a small step of yours can bring a huge change in someone's life. Ninth, believe in love. It has the magical force to convert everything bad into everything good. Love actually makes life beautiful! Tenth, people will come and go in life but what will remain is 'you'. Your attitude and behavior defines you. So be yourself always! Lastly, don't forget to smile! It may or may not impact you but it will surely impact the person who sees it (which may make you happy, you never know)!

The list surely doesn't ends here. All I can brief about life is Life is Beautiful! It has so much to give in so many wonderful ways...

Celebrate Life..!!


Dreams visit us every night but commitment wakes us up each day and gives us every chance to make our dreams come true..!!

Wonderful Weekend ..!!

After the crazy Friday evening, there was something nicer for both of us (Me and Reshma) on Saturday and Sunday even. Santosh (from ITian group) asked us to be at his place for a fun party there. I was quite interested as I really wanted to be with my old friends again... just for a change! Reshma also agreed to the plan (she is such a darling... agrees to everything :)). It was decided that I would go there with Sitakant (from ITian group) and Reshma would meet us there directly after she finishes her interview call. But situation took a different turn and she reached there before us! The journey to Santosh's place was really tiring... we had to travel in two buses and it was almost a 45 mins-60 mins journey. We reached there almost without any problems though we were quite late. Cooking wasn't started yet and Santosh left to get some food items we were going eat and meanwhile, we were busy with TV... a rare thing for me these days! Another friend from college, Rudra was there too. Finally, the cooking began after Santosh was back and to our utter surprise, he didn't let anyone of us to cook and did everything on his own and I must say, he is such a good cook! We couldn't resist ourselves seeing those delicious items. We surely missed Subha, Budhha, Kanhu, Sanat and other ITians but all the same we had great fun that day. While we ate, Andaaz Apna Apna was played to add colors to our fun. Subha came online for a video chat and I could clearly see his sad face... don't worry Subha... we miss you too! Instantly we planned to go for Houseful movie the next day. Mouli, Vipin and Bharat (Vip's new roommate) also agreed. So we went to the theater to get the tickets and had a good roaming there. We left that place and came back and I went out with Mouli to Dalma as Chicken Pakoda was in my mind ;) After a good dinner we came back as we had to prepare for the next day.

Vip came with Bharat and we had breakfast together and then we set for the cinemas. Santosh was not in the scene but he came somehow 5 mins later. We had fun... though the movie was so-so types but being with friends was the real fun. We all set for Chalo Punjab to have our lunch. The food was as usual delicious and soon Vip joined us after his guitar class. The day went on nicely. Met Saumya (ex-Nessian) in the evening after quite a long gap and felt good. Likewise, the whole weekend was spent wisely with friends! I really look forward for such wonderful weekends always..!!


Greatest challenge in life is to find someone who knows all your faults, differences, mistakes and much more about you but still sees the best in you..!!

On The Road... In The Rain ..!!

Friday evenings are always my favorite and I feel like doing all crazy activities which I have always felt like doing... let it be watching movies whole night or talking to each and every member of my family... experimenting with my camera or hanging out with friends... I just feel like being myself..!!

Last Friday evening was awesome. Reshma came to my place for a simple chit-chat session when I proposed the idea of having dinner at the Chinese Cottage, one of my favorite restaurants of Chinese cuisine. To my surprise, she readily agreed to my idea and we got ready for our sweet friendly date. It had just started to rain by then and we had our umbrella... the only one shading both of us. But suddenly it started raining heavily and thinking that I have a dear friend by my side... I thought of canceling the plan and have our dinner somewhere nearby. But she kept insisting that we should continue... and as a result, we moved on. The road was lonely except a few cars, a few stray dogs... and Me and Reshma. We crossed the water pooled over the road due to rain and by the time we reached the restaurant, we were half-drenched. I was really happy as I got the chance to be drenched in rain... which has always been my favorite. The hot soup in the restaurant was a great comfort then... the date was cool and cozy. The whole experiment was an absolute fun! It wouldn't have been possible if my best friend wouldn't have been there with me. Thanks Sweety... for making that evening crazy ;) Hope we have more crazier outings coming on our ways..!!


I may be walking slowly but I never walk backwards. If I walk backwards then I am preparing for a long jump..!!
