Metaphor of life

Remember the good old days where we used to run to the swings and the slides? I loved the swings. I used to go to one of my relatives’ house only cos their quarters had a play area with swings :-) Every time I sat on a swing, I had only one feeling. I should swing higher than the person on the neighboring swing! Little did I realise then that the play taught the game of life.

When we played, there were screeching voices of “higher! higher!”. My older cousins or parents used to accompany me and they helped me swing higher up in the air. But as i grew up, nobody helped me. I used to feel extremely bad that i could never go as high as my brother. He booed me. But i didn’t give up. I learnt the simple technique that I’ve to apply force. I also used to get scared that I might slip and fall.There was so much will power and determination and also the competition , the adrenalin rush and joy and laughs. I’m surprised that i also understood that its alright if I went way back, it only meant that I’d go higher up the next time. Its sad that we fail to understand all of it while living life.

Life is nothing but a swing. Initially parents help you. But later you’ve to grow, learn things on your own. Face difficulties, may be trivial or complex. You have to face competition. You must have the strong desire to go high, touch the skies and sing the song of life. At the same time, its important to realize that we might even face failures or low points in life. We should understand that we shall definitely rise higher next time and not be disappointed. But of course if we work. We ‘ve to let our heels apply the force. Swing signifies the various entities and moods in our life. It shows the fun times we ‘ve with all our friends and relatives. It shows the pleasantness and the secure feeling of swinging with a loved one.It shows our success, our desires, fears, our strong points and most of all it tells us that the actual control is in our hands. So invoke all the hidden spirits and swing high up in the air and enjoy the journey of life!

Best ride ever!

My friends Nam, Sne and I were so excited to go to the freshers’ party held in Amnesia( I know the name suggests a lot :-) ) Initially we felt we were over dressed. But once we reached the venue, we felt so out of place. people were dressed like it was some pg3 party! The music was mind blowing and we did spot a few “pappus ” :-) We were so energetic and in such high spirits. Music and dance can really help us unwind to such a great extent. It was a good experience but the best part of the day was the ride back home. It took us 15 minutes to hire an auto on the busy Residency road.

It was  getting late and were glad that the auto driver agreed.  But we weren’t aware of what lay ahead :-) The  driver was trying to exhibit all his skills. He showed us that he could drive sitting in a slant position :-) He even was trying to impress us with the many features of his auto! The four of us were very hungry and were eating a sandwich and may be heard us mentioning about dance and remixes. He initially played some very loud song which scared us and alarmed all the others waiting at the signal ;-) after we asked him to switch it off, he switched to hip hop music! After a while we felt that we were in a mobile disc. So we requested him to lower the volume. Later he exhibited the multi coloured lights of his auto. It gave us a feeling that we had just shifted from a disc to some dance bar ! :-) Soum asked “woh light kisliye bayya? usse bandh karo ” and thankfully he agreed. Again we got to see him drive in different positions and once we felt our auto would smashed between two cars. But the guy seemed so normal about it. To add to it, he even sported a flashy jacket with some eagle on it :-) Finally we reached home after 45 minutes of drive that could have landed all of us in heaven. We gals were still giggling and when we  paid him he showed us another feature of his auto! A fluorescent blue light which ‘ll be used in sad horror movies to show that there’s evil around or the villain is approaching :-) He even calculated the fare wrong. ( we were supposed to pay 1n half ). But never mind, we didn’t wanna argue with him.(or may be he charged extra for the display of his skills ;-)   ) Though we cursed him during the drive, if we think of it now, I feel its been the most entertaining auto ride ever!

Tell me your Dreams

Sleep is a part of everyone’s lives. and so are dreams. Who doesnt like to sleep ? :-) who doesnt like to dream? (day dream). Every single person dreams. Even blind people do. And most of us day dream while attending a lecture, while travelling or even at work :-) Leave aside day dreaming. Its a conscious thing that all of us involve in. What about the dreams we get during sleep? why do we get them? How come some of them are nightmares? How come some show us having a good time with friends?

Most of us don’t realize the importance of these dreams. We just say to ourselves that “oh.what a nightmare!” or “that was a pleasant dream”. Dreams tell us so much about ourselves, things which we ourselves would not know or would have never bothered to know. Dreams help you know your deepest fears, your feelings about someone or about yourself, all your secret hidden desires and can show you a different personality of your own self! Dreams may warn you of an upcoming situation or a solution to your problem. Many scientists claim that they get solutions to a problem, on which they were contemplating for long ,in a flash while asleep. A woman said that she had recurring dreams of her husband cheating on her and she had a feeling that knew that woman well. A week later she found out it was her close friend. I had a personal experience a few months ago where i constantly kept dreaming that i hated a friend of mine and that I’d several fights with her. I wondered why I was getting such dreams. Only a few days later, I got to know of her betrayal. I still don’t know how my sub conscious had known it much before.

Dreams do express a lot. We do see various colors, animals and our friends and relatives and at times even strangers in our dreams. i would not say all but most of it do have a significance. All of us would have experienced dreams about most of the day’s activities or about people whom we interacted most with, on that particular day. We even get exam dreams which usually shows our anxiety and the stress during exams.

People can tell you a lot of things about you. You have different takes on people and even their views. But none of it tells you that much detail as what your dreams do. Thats cos dreams are your subconscious voice.We just have to listen carefully and attentively to what they are trying to tell us. Some usually maintain a notepad to write down what they dream about and later interpret it :-) I do not have the patience to do that . :-) But as soon as we get up, I think we all should spend a few minutes thinking of what we dreamed.If we try we can definitely recollect our dreams and most of all we should truly want to remember our dreams as they will definitely help us know more about our true, deep feelings and fears and frustrations and insecurities and never felt desires. So stay awake even while asleep and dare to dream :-)

So when do u know its love? :-)

If you have it[love], you don’t need to have anything else, and if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter much what else you have.
—Sir James M. Barrie
Everyone of us talks about it, want it the most and feel it at times. Everyone loves to be loved. Especially when its from someone special :-) Its one of the most powerful emotions all of us are blessed with. Not only do most of our bollywood movies but most of our lives revolve around it. But how does one exactly know tat he/she is in love??
Recently I watched “jaane tu..ya jaane na “. The movie had only one single point. Two extremely close pals who cared the most for each other realised that they actually love each other only when they see the other in someone else’s arms. Even in KJo’s kkhh, Anjali(kajol) realises her love for Rahul(SRK!!!) when Tina(rani) steps in. Jealousy might not always be the key to realisation of love.
Some people believe in “silent love”. They have feelings for a person and the other person might not even be slightly aware of the situation. Some are of the opinion that “its not really love if you dont express it”. But I do not agree with that. If all the feelings are genuine, it will eventually surface. In some cases, its pure obsession. I agree possessiveness is essential but there is a very fragile line between love and obsession.(ex- tamil movie kadhal kandaen where the other person is actually scared n choked rather than feeling loved). Most times people make a transition from close friendship to love. they already know each other well and are comfortable in each other’s company and I feel that’s a secure transition. The most unpredictable of the relations are those that start off with attraction or admiration.
Movies come with up heavy “romantic ” dialogues and loads of crap year after year( must admit some of them are well made though :-) ) but still confusion over feelings always prevails. Especially when ‘age’ is also a factor. people always say that teenagers or adoloscents dont really know what “love ” is. I am of the opinion that love has no age. you cant say feelings should arise only when a person is above 23! that doesnt mean i support all the lame 13 yr olds who claim to be “in love”.
However, I feel that late teenage or early adloscence can be the perfect phase to be in “first love” ;-) Love can bring about such fascinating positive changes in a person during such a phase. The thought of someone caring so much for you is wonderful.Everyone perceives it differently though. Every morning when u get up with the thought that the presence of a person in your life makes it so special, when you face the mirror and feel that u’ve to look your best for yourself and in the eyes of that someone, when you have a beeming smile on your face and twinkle in your eye , when you wait for that person’s phone call and when you sleep with the comfort that to someone you mean a lot and that person means the world to you, its like you are in fairy land! And life is at its best! Of course the road is rough and there can be heartbreaks and tears but every moment of it ‘ll be worth it. Not only cos of the precious moments but also cos of the wonderful journey and cos of the transformations it has brought in you. The foll clip is from the movie “little manhattan” where a ten year old boy realises his first love and also learns from it:-)
So all of you, ‘ll ‘ve to realise in your own ways that you love someone or that someone loves you. And for those of you who aren’t in love, U’ll find a special person soon or look around.. may be you’ve never noticed someone :-) and if you are in a heartbreak phase, just cherish all the precious moments you had and just wait for love to sweep you off your feet again:-) And that’s cos—–
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
My sometime is now
Everybody finds somebody someplace
There’s no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps sayin’
My someplace is here

If I had it in my power
I’d arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you

If I had it in my power
I would arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you.
