Love is in the air ......:)

Well the 14th FEB being just round the corner, truely an illusion of love being in the air, is just about every place you visit...may it be shops or resturants or general hoardings around..
every place you look around Valentines day is THE EVENT.

I know that for a few people this idea is fundamentally wrong as they think, why a day to express your love as it is a continuous process.. a flowing brook which has its own course and the journey itself is the purpose ..so this day means nothing to them...
For some this day has a special meaning as it helps them express what they feel on a much grand scale, let their loved one feel special..

May be in the old days when life was not a race but a journey .. this day was not really needed. I still remember how my grand parents use to share so much of their time together, reading together, going for walkings in the evening, walking on star studded nights, no great holiday packages, no costly diamonds just sheer being together and living the moment was the beauty of their relationship and yes for them 14 feb would have been just a day as any other one as they had a lot of time to for their togetherness.

For me, I think this in todays fast world, when everyone is on a go.. there is no time to pause and smell the roses on the way, watch the rain, see the kids smile and enjoy everything thats normal and yet beautiful ..this day, if is a reason for someone to pause and just share an evening with their dear ones.. and let them know that they are special ..its worth it.

You dont need a day to let your dear ones know that they are so precious, but yet if life is like a fast pace race where you got to be moving all the while, if days like these make you pause I guess its apt.. as the purpose is served and, well, we being humans with love and emotions is proved yet again and the happiness we get seeing our loved one happy ..I guess no dollars can buy that for us ;) right ????

What are best friends all about

Just a few days back, I have a good conversation with a few friends at work, over a cup of tea, in the much needed afternoon tea break .. we were all of a sudden talking about the comfort of a friend in ones life.. and then jumping to what a best friend is..

For some there was no one like a best friend, as it was difficult for someone to pass the test of the level of expectations set.. for some it was someone they shared a long patch of life..
it was wonderful to even know that their were so many shades to this relationships.. there was possessiveness.. trust..belief..love.. time spent.. being there when needed the most.. lot of opinions from all the different experiences people had in life :)

I guess for me my bestfriend.. is someone with whom I can start a conversation after many years with the same zeal of interest and love from where life had parted our ways and yet as we start talkng the yrs seem to disappear.. the person has grown but the essence is not lost.. just to know that we will always have a special place in our hearts for each other.. and many new friends will come and add to the friendship list and yet I persist .. for all the yrs gone by I continue to be on the list ... thats the beauty of a best friend..

some one you can just call up in the middle of the night and share a dream.. share a sorrow ..share an achievement..or a sheer nothing feel like talking to you element .. and u know you are sharing it with the right person.. as its always taken in the right spirit...

I guess for those who havent yet found there special friend.. i am sure theres some one like that waiting for you at some corner of your life.. its never too late to find the bestest friend life can offer.. and who knows may be you already have them .. its just that its never really discovered

to my best friend.. you will always be special to me ..thanks for coming in my life and making it such a wonderful and easy ride...

P.S ... i promise to be more regular ...somehow things had got a bit busy around work and home :)

Life as it comes

mom's trip to sydney ..

The past month was a crazy merry go round trip for me.. with the family reunion happening ..
and i got to spend some great time with my bro, sis-in -law and ofcourse our bundle of joy my bro's kid..they were here from like 2 months i never realised, when it was time to bid our good byes and come back to our worlds which were different ..

it seemed like a dream, all the good times spent together.. we enjoyed, watched movies shared jokes.. got nostalgic about the childhood days.. seeing nikhita ( my bros kid) all of a sudden hit me that our next generation is here. we had to give as much as love ..care guidance as we can..
but i fear .. ( just being pessimistical at times) will our kids gel as much as we both did as kids..
and all the fun and cool times we had, living in seperate worlds ..i hope the bond grows stronger with the coming generation...
i know i am sounding old.. but some how seeing your immediate generation grow kind of hits you.. tells u that you aint a kid anymore..( as much as we all willbe at hearts ;) )

anyways i am glad we met after long 4 yrs.. and there will be more such wonderful reunions..
mom and dad have joined them in aus .. and i feel alone all of a sudden.. ya i know i am married and i have vineet and things like that and yet its lonely .. at times you just need YOUR family .. (haha i know how i am sounding ) but then .. its hard. .and will take sometime to sink in. to go to an empty house which was just the centre of joy and love for me

Time is the best teacher it heals the worst of pains ........... this shall also pass and we will meet again..
