She is ...

"I don't like this, and why daily the same chapatti, 'daal' and 'sabzi'"?, angrily I kept the plate aside, frowning and displeased. 

"Beta, this is healthy and will give you the necessary portion of energy and proteins. Yesterday, you had dinner at a party, morning you survived on bread which is 'maida', it is not good for your stomach. If you want, I will cook something else for you, but please don't skip your meal", she said feeling sad and upset at the same time.

She knows very well that children don't understand the value of mom until they grow up to become a parent themselves.Perhaps, she too did the same when she was young, and so she knows. She feels sad for being thrashed every time rudely by her children, her in-laws and something by dad too when he is too engrossed with his work and she forces him to eat.

She gulps everybody's frustration without saying a word. She wakes up in the morning before everybody does, gets ready, prays to God for her family, cooks for everybody, packs lunch, packs bags for schools and office, puts clothes for laundry, serves breakfast, gets them ready for school and office! After 2-3 hours of daily chores, she sits down to complete the tasks that were pending for her forever. 

Let's start the checklist for her: Cooking for the audience with variety in demand, cooking with abundance (time/help/grocery). Present it well, those 3 tiffin boxes, that relative's visit. Doing all the above and leaving the place clean once done. 

Wait Wait! Father in law is diabetic, Mother is law has high BP .. less salt in her food.
Husband loves salt and can't do without it. Kids! They will always have special demands.

Reuse of food, reduce waste so recycle the same food with a different form of presentation. Keep in check balanced protein, veggie and taste too?? yesterday also had aloo, today too? Who will keep a check on that? And guests coming today :-D Need some creative dishes with varieties.! 
Yet she is able to serve hot food with so much love smile and empathy. 

Dear Moms, you will always be our rockstars :) 

You never know who you are inspiring

Hi! said, the girl excitedly expecting him to be as friendly as she was. He replied with a low hi, lowering his head and getting back to his thoughts on the high complex problem's solution, may be some MVC architecture , or some server level problem, who knows what these brilliant people keep thinking in their life or about life. She just admired him, inspired and wanted to be in contact with this amazing person. She became sad, walked back to her cubicle thinking that he doesn't like her because she was normal plain girl with no intelligence at all.On the other side, he never cared. He was an introvert, not befriending with people easily and made selected friends.

Here, the luck turned to her side and like always, what she wanted came to be true. She got several chances to talk to him. What else on Earth could have she asked for. Highly inspired by the guy she used to try to learn how he works, what is his thought process, how he approaches a problems. She was in total love with him because of his knowledge, brain and multi-talented  personality. He is also an amazing singer. Mere words could not describe him. He was that special and superb. 

He was born and brought up in Delhi. He did his BSc in Chemistry from Delhi university and then MSc, again in Chemistry from Hansraj college in Delhi. He pursued his Phd but quit in mid term.. He managed to get a job in Chennai, which was lasted a month and a half as the firm went out of business. He taught for a year as a teacher to manage his hostel and mess fees. Later when his father came to know about the hardships his dear son was facing, he called  him back to Delhi and helped him in finding a job in some software company. Having worked there for sometime he then went on to create his own software which was related to the concept of soft phones like skype etc. Later, he Sold his company after two years and was introduced to the world of hacking. After gaining immense knowledge about hacking and the dark and shady world of it, he left all of it and joined a reputed software company and is currently excelling at his job.

She felt lucky to have met such great and awesome person. The walk with him was a privilege for her where she learnt things about him.He is the most amazing person she will ever know!

We are 'NIT'ians

1. The first and the last days of college will always be full of tears. The former for leaving the comfort of home, starting a new phase of your life by joining college while the latter for leaving the fun and your friends behind.

2. Pointers do NOT matter. (Trust me on this, there will be a couple of times when you feel that they do matter :P)

3. You will find no professor worthy enough to listen to, even for five minutes of your life.

4. You will have to keep explaining to your relatives and friends from non-engineering background that it’s an 'NIT', with a single ‘I’, and not an 'NIIT' that is found in every third street of the town.

5. Again, you will need to explain to your distant relatives why the far-away-college you go to is better than the college that is just a few blocks away from you in your hometown.

6. During the first year of college, you would eagerly look forward to being in the final year, which, when the time finally comes, like an achievement unlocked, would seemingly make you everybody’s boss. And once you’ve climbed upon the stairs of the final year, you would long for the duration of the course to not be limited to just four small years.

7. Your opinion about ragging in the first year and that in the second year will be completely different.

8. You will always complete (read copy-paste :-P)  the assignment just a few hours before submission.

9. You will meet people from different parts of India, and for that matter, some foreigners too, and you will be flooded with friendship.

10. You will always have a lingering feeling that college will not be of much help in brightening up your future, or illuminating your life academically. To make matters worse, you would, in fact, keep wondering why you ever went to school in the first place if it had to end up with your having to study in this college.

11. Nescafe stalls and the chai- wala spots will be junctions to meet, gossip, exchange notes and escape lectures.

12. You will find your seniors and juniors to be more attractive than your own batch-mates Deep down, your heart will wish that they were in your batch.

13. In your own batch too, there would be that one person whose face you would want to see and eyes you would long to have contact with as soon as you entered the classroom. You would wish that they sneakily looked at you whenever the teacher asked you to rise and explain something, that they were your partner in crime whenever your skull cooked up a cranky idea. They would be the force behind your waking up for the early morning class. With them, you would have an array of moments, not limited to the constraints of space and time, the modulus of which would never be enough to suffice your hunger for more. They would add the much needed flavour, seasoning and spice to your otherwise boring academic life. They, my friend, would be your crush. They would drive you crazy, and have you, in turn, drive others crazy.

Adolescence

Adolescence was not kind to Jessica.  Whenever she looked in the mirror, a pudgy pre-teen looked back at her.  She avoided mirrors, cameras, anything that could reflect or record her image, dreading the thought of having to see her true self.    
   
She had a friend who was everything she wanted to be, Jennifer Lawrence.  She was tall, thin, beautiful, well-dressed and well-liked.  While Jessica was more the introvert, taking her time to warm up before getting social, Jennifer was always the center of attention making friends the instant she walked into a room.  She lived vicariously, watching boys fall over themselves trying to get her attention.  Even teachers seemed to treat her better than other students.

How much better my life would be if I could only be more like Jennifer Lawrence!  So Jessica tried.  She played the sports Jennifer played, wore similar clothes, tried diet after diet to match her slenderness, talked like her, walked like her, and acted like her. She was convinced she had the formula for success and happiness.

Then one summer her mother found her trying to bleach her hair.  Some chunks of hair had turned pumpkin orange, some nearly white and the rest reddish-brown.  Her mother was devastated, as was she.  When her mother asked her why would she do anything to ruin her beautiful brown hair, she told her how much she wanted a better color, like Jennifer's.  In her great wisdom, her mother said

"It's funny how we sometimes want what we don't have.  The grass seems greener on the other side of the fence.  But then, when you get there and look back, you realize the grass was just as green if not more brilliant on your own side.  If you spend all of your time trying to be someone else, there is no time left to discover who you are.  What you need to remember is no one can be a better Jennifer Lawrence than Jennifer Lawrence, in the same way that no one can be a better you, than you yourself.  So, it makes no sense to waste your time trying to be her.  She will always do a better job than you can.  But if you focus on being the best you can be, no one can ever exceed you."

It was a great lesson for her.  Being true to herself was effortless in comparison to trying to be someone she was not.  The more she honored what was authentic to herself, the better she performed, the more confident she became, the bigger the impact she made and the happier she was.  It was a lesson she carried into her professional career, because there will always be pressure, whether external or self-imposed, to conform to a perceived model for happiness or effectiveness or potential or whatever you happen to be measured against.

Individuality is one of our greatest assets.  It requires a commitment to know thyself, plus vigilance in resisting the temptation to become something we are not.  It takes courage to speak your truth and follow your passion, particularly when it departs from the status quo, but the closer to genuine the greater the likelihood for success.  Interestingly, what is true for the individual is also true for business.  Companies that get caught up in the competition and stray too far from their core competencies frequently flounder or fail.  Those resurrected are often saved by reconnection with the fundamentals of their unique raison d'etre. 

If there is a moral to her story, it is this: there will always be a place for the unique person you are, so be at ease with what that means to you and confident in knowing it is more than enough to succeed. 

A girl meets 3 angels

It was a long train journey. I was incoherently looking out of the window just to catch glimpse of at least a little interesting sight, but in vain. All seemed boring and dull. Opposite to my berth there sat a lady who looked in twenties. She was talking to the gentleman sitting next to her. They were continuously jabbering since morning I opened my eyes. I kept thinking on my mind that how can two strangers talk so much. Trying to keep myself busy, I thought of listening to their not-so-private conversation. And she continued...

       "I must say that god really loves me.. He always wanted me to see improve .. Gave me a lot of opportunities to become a good person.. But each time I failed him. . his love for me was so strong that he didn't give up .. This time he made me meet 3 beautiful people I have ever seen.. Yes , I was bad as usual .. But after being in touch with them for continuous two months , I realized how loving and caring people actually are . I learnt so many things from them that it completely changed my way of thinking . I remember how I used to think negative about people .. But one of this angel made me realize that all people are good and it is just me who targets one incident and change my view reaching to conclusions.. I changed this habit and today I hardly think negative about anyone..

      This other angel made me to act selflessly. She used to consider everyone in her surrounding , think about her friends and used to do work without whining.. She accepted people with open heart and loved them..

        My third angel .. I will never forget one thing about her .. Her helping nature .. Many a times I was rude to her .. But the day I needed the most help in this world, she helped me.. She accepted me with my flaws.. She taught me not to care what other thinks and do what you think is correct ..

         I have always tried to grab good thing from people but never succeeded.. But this time I have incorporated it in my life and I feel that I have completely changed on how I used to think............" and this lady continues talking with the gentleman who shows too much interest in her life.

          I don't remember what they talked in next 18 hours... But it left me with me eerie feeling.. I din't even know this lady's name but definitely knew about significant changes of her life.. Her conversation reflected me what I needed to change in my mind. It is really strange how strangers can sometimes make you ponder upon your life...

Know Thyself

             You must have heard people often say that how knowing the powers within you is important. Realizing one's own potential, their own strength and weakness is one of the key to success.. blah blah.. but wait, have you ever considered the fact that you may have overestimated your goods and bad ? 
   
             In this fast racing world, everyone feels that he is ahead of everyone else, but are you really better than hundred of others whom you have left behind or was it just an opportunity that you got and they couldn't. People often fail to accept their flaws because they are too busy thinking that the person in front of you is not perfect.

              So here is the thing. Do not have a illusory superiority. You think that you know about yourself more than others do. This leads for example, not to believe that the other person will ever understand you. And at the same time, you believe you have understood their point of view because you know you are smart enough to assume they are wrong. Funny isn't it ;)

What I want my life to be really like..

There is so much I want to be doing in my life.

I want to be HAPPY always. I want to be crazy and funny, no matter how old I am. I want my mind to be filled with ecstasy, every minute. 

I want to be famous. People should know my name without asking me. I want to inspire people, with my work, words, anything. Just inspiration. People should see me and say "Do something like her". They should feel proud of me.

I want to educate a homeless or an orphan, make a difference to such souls. I want to do make the old and needy, and even the disabled people feel that they are not alone in this world, they have me. I want to make them always feel good. I want to change their world for good.

I want to travel the world goes without saying. Want to visit every place and admire the nature and its magic.

I need my life to be like a fairy-tale, where everything is just so perfect. I want to be cherished. I want to be loved by people in the same way like my family loves me. I want to be good to everyone. I want to keep people happy in my company.I want to be LOVED and treated with a smile :)

Plan-A, Plan-B or you have 24 other ways to Plan

 Plan first. When you lie down on bed for sleeping at night think about what you are going to finish tomorrow. Have a check list on how much have you proceeded. Be determined and focus. Most important thing is to plan small so that you can get it done no matter what. Never give yourself excuses for not getting it done. In case you are confused and multiple things are going in your mind, close your eyes, roll up for few seconds till you comfortable. This relaxes you and you do not think about anything. After 10 seconds magically your brain is blank and you have cleared all the random thoughts and you can start doing your work again.

And everyone wants to be successful

A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm. One just needs to have immense faith in oneself and the ability to fight with the world, no matter whatever be the situation.

What u think is more important than anybody else in this world. No one can insult u unless ur consent..

If you make yourself feel uncomfortable, none can make u comfortable ever..

You just remember three things :

• I am the best.
• Today is my Day.
• God is with me.

To WIN the GAME, just REMAIN in the Game and the belief in yourself will let u win automatically.

You should not let anyone discourage you.. everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

People are capable, (at any time in their lives), of doing what they dream of.

Your attitude defines the altitude in your life, so have a positive and carefree attitude. Your goal should just matter to u and nthing else that comes in between in the form of comments, hatred, and other negative energy.

Understand a Liar

The most thing hated by most of the persons is 'lies'. .

We try to stay away from liars, ignore them, criticize them.. But has anyone tried to understand a liar?

Yeah, i may be sounding a little awkward to u ppl, but do think urselves. . Someday u can be in a liar's shoes and then you will come to know how it feels to lie. .

A liar has several reasons to lie.

Some may be

He doesnt want to disclose the facts and is waiting for the right time to let u know. .

He doesnt want to hurt u. .

He may be ashamed to accept the thing he thinks he has done wrong. .

He doesnt think you to be the correct person to share his thoughts. .

He is afraid of the consequences that may take place. .

He feels that 'a lie ,which draws a smile is better than the truth , thats draws the tear . .

He may not be sure and replies in negative/affirmative. .

He may be just kidding which one has taken it to be serious. .

Therefore, i would like to say, that all liars are not worth to be hated. . if we try to know the reason behind the 'lies', i am sure most of us will not mind his/her lie. .its very hard to accept the white lie from both , the person who is close to us or from the known/unknown faces. . but it is the inner conflict that a liar struggles, fear of getting exposed :|

♥ Friends ♥

It feels as lonely as wrecked ship when u hav no friends around u ... with whom you can talk, share your feelings, tease them,shed tears, dance to the tunes of joy, ... It feels so secluded once you leave their company and come to some other world.. Obviously, you can always be in touch and keep in contact.. but gradually the bond of friendship, that closeness dies out. It becomes more and more difficult to keep that bond alive ... the reason may be that each one gets busy in their own lives , with new friends and relatives... I wish we never get parted with our golden friends whose presence is like the oil that keeps the lantern burning and removes the darkness from life :)
