Expectations !!!

By -


There would be times when you feel that it is not worth having somebody, when the person does not respond the way you want him to. Somebody rightly said "expectations can kill you" and with me it is always true. I keep telling this to myself over and over again but still I end up becoming a victim of this over expectation. I fall flat over my own expectations form somebody. Falling hurts be it in love or in over expectations. 

Where does all this stop? Where do the expectations end? Is it not right to expect something more from the person who cares about you or is it too much? What is the limit of such expectations and who defines it? These questions keep popping in my head and I have not even a single answer. 

My friend asked " how can one be happy and at peace with himself and with his near and dear ones?” Pat came my reply “have less expectations or if possible no expectations and then you will sail through", but do I really follow it in principle. Not always. It is too difficult. However, with the experiences that I have had I hope to and try to keep my expectations low and thereby try to be happy and at peace with my near and dear ones.

Unspoilt Beauty: Lonavala/Khandala

By -
Life takes a breather every now and then. It is always not so dull and tensed. It gives us the opportunity to relax and unwind from a hectic schedule of the fast paced metropolis. In order to relax a day after a month long bed rest, life provided me with an opportunity to appreciate the unspoilt beauty of the twin towns of Lonavala and Khandala. The weather was at its best in mid-July, the monsoons pouring their heart out for the dried parched earth. An hour and half journey from the Pune, renamed aptly as the “Oxford of the East”, we zipped past on the Mumbai-Pune six-lane expressway. The wet tarmac on the road, the occasional downpour and the lovely lush green fields on either side, all were providing the required enthusiasm. The most fascinating part was the two tunnels, craved out of the huge mountains. Going through them seemed as if we were entering the belly of a huge whale, the inside being fitted with rows of neon lights. The middle of the expressway was full with all kinds of

Earthquake

By -
Experiences are something which can be un-limited and they can be good as well as bad, but one such incident which will always remain very close to my heart would be the how nature cracked a joke and the earth laughed resulting in an major earthquake. I thank my stars to be still alive and penning down my experience of the earthquake. Thankfully, the epicenter was hundreds of kilometer away from Delhi and NCR still the shocks were more of a nightmare. The day being a Saturday and I being at my aunt’s place at NOIDA to enjoy the weekend woke up to the sounds of my younger cousin’s beautiful voice, as he sang some songs. Somehow, I managed to drag myself out of the sheet that enveloped me and groped for my all time companion, my sweet little mobile phone, to check up on the time. It was almost nine o’ clock and was a little later than my usual time of getting up. Slowly, I managed to pull together my unkempt hair to a tight bun and walked out of the room to greet every body a nice mornin

Just a Thought !!!

"Communal Divide" , I think I dont believe in these words, otherwise one of my closest friends would not have been a Muslim. It was a bitter sweet relationship initially which, gradually, over the years grew to such intimacy that I have started regarding her as family. With Sam, I never feel out of place. I can never relate to her as aperson from a different community. All the more reason of writing this i can never erase the memories of that day when her "Dadi" fainted and life at their home has never been the same as before. I went to her place, only to find Sam exhausted with lack of sleep. She came rushing and held me, as if, to gain some inner strength. I held on to her, like I would held my own sister, comforting her. Seeing her "Dadi", I could not hold back my emotions. I hugged her with all compassion because I see my own "Dadi" in her and not some fundamental lady. We took her "Dadi" to hospital, got the tests & CT Scan don
