Surround Yourself with people who care.

My mother used to always say surround yourself with good people, people who are positive in their outlook,people who care for others, people who will inspire you to do good and be good themselves... etc etc . As I grow older my belief in these statements increases day by day. I have been in an environment where people have been downright mean,bitchy and negative and I thought to myself welll people are like this only... so what!! You survive..right!!
Well I did, for some time at least but something just dint feel right. Inside I felt cold, unhappy and for some reason angry all the time. Then.. what my mom said came back to me and I left that place to take up another job. Here there was a drastic change people were sweet,treated you with respect and actually cared about what you said. Now my mother says I make too much noise when I return home(coz I'm singing all the time and it just doesn't help that I sound like a crow), she says there is a certain twinkle in m eyes(why don't the guys notice it..sighh! I wonder is it true, can people really have so much of impact in our lives. Can people who are positive and funny and maddeningly sweet really make you feel "so happy" and people who are "rude and negative" make you feel "so sad". In my case funnily it does.. that is why I always try to be around people who might not be the most brilliant people on the planet but are intelligent enough to not hurt anyone with their words. People who don't have to be nice to you but make that little effort to do so. Do such people exist..hee they do.. you just have to find them.The search but first should begin within you.. you have to caring and sweet and nice and all that jazz then probably you will start attracting all these people.As the law of nature states "what goes around comes around" and the law of my mom says you do good and you will start attracting good...hee it's true!!

Wake up Sid..my verdict

Okie so I watched wake up Sid really and truly enjoyed and no they are not paying me for writing this(I wish they were..Sighhhh) . A movie which according to me was not only about Sid waking but also Aisha waking up hmm confused dont be let me explain.

See we go through life thinking that this is what we want but many a times it's not what we want we just think that it is. For example we all think that we want a partner who is intelligent, has a good career, sophisticated, mature... in the real sense a real man... that’s what we all are conditioned to believe or automatically do believe.

Well thats what Aisha believed she wanted, a man not a boy but then you never know when life or the cupid will strike and she realized she wanted a boy as well. Someone with whom she could be independent yet depend on in tough times..Someone who was not perfect but in his imperfection there was some amount of perfection..lol

A person she thought should learn from her how to lead a life but in turn she learnt how life is truly meant to be lived..hmm interesting is it not,he learns how not to let go and she learns that sometimes it is better to let go.

Atleast for me the movie meant not only wake up Sid but also wake up Aisha..hee hee Well made, subtle ,intelligent,realiastic and overall a very beautifully handled subject of a mature love story ..need I go on..

No I think not, will not go on further and bore you but my verdict is out(like anybody cares) I LIKE IT and hope you did to . If you haven’t caught the flick catch it baby what you are waiting for ..your own Sid or Aisha to come along or what???

In the past two weeks disaster has struck me twice and in both the cases I felt guilty,miserable. Though only much later did I realize how ironical and completely hilarious both the situations were.So without further ado lets begin with the first one, picture the scene I am all dressed walking down my lane in the hot Friday afternoon at 3pm.

So everything is ok till here the only thing being that I need to reach for a interview and I am getting fabulously late. So instead of things going right they start going wrong starting with my heels just coming apart right there on the road in front of two giggly school boy, one driver and one guard.

Now feeling extremely embarrassed I start trudging my way back walking lopsided wearing heels on one foot and the remains of it on the other all the while pretending to talk on my phone.
Now in our very own Delhi people just cant seem to mind their own business or refrain from giving you advise when you least want it .So the guard says "madamji check nahi kiya nikalne se phele" and the school boy goes with big smile on his face" Ghar se kisiko bola lijye" and the best of all the driver a complete stranger" hum aapko drop karde madam " all the while smirking.

I ward off all their good intentions (Yeah right) while continuing my walk till a bit further on the other heel also comes apart(what luck right!!). Anyways here I meet a servant walking the dog who offers to take care off the heel till later when I can come and collect it from him.

Seriously what a day I did not know whether to cry or bash up the whole lot of them and these things I guess can only happen to me. Well anyways the story ends all right I managed to reach on time and the interview was not so bad either.

My only problem is that I get to see my broken heel lying under the tree where I had thrown it in a huff that day, no one seems to be getting rid of it and I wouldn't be caught dead going near it.
hmm any solution to his problem do let me know... btw I have started praying just before stepping outside my house hope it helps....

I love PJs...

Okay so I'm love with Pj's ...I admit it..I'm utterly and crazily in love with them!
See now that's where the problem lies because most people aren't ..so you have this comical situation (according to me) and then there are loud sounds coming from where...welll from dear old Megha!

Yes.. she is laughing and laughing and snorkling etc etc while all around her people find it difficult to even pretend to smile. Now can you beat that how embarrassing that is! I have actually lost all hopes for me these days since here I'm all sophisticated and all that just like "Audrey Hepburn".
"Poof" some stupid situation or one innocent comment has me gaffing my lungs and all my intestines out..sheeesh

Hmm I wonder if genetically there is something wrong with me but noooo both parents are completely sane(Shit I can't blame them) mentalyyy okay we are definitely not going there.

Hence moral of the story
1) Do not crack a good joke in front of me ..you will have me rolling on the ground
2) Do not crack a bad one u will be ruining my reputation
3)Do not make double meaning comments in front of me I might never recover ..

PS: Do not take this mail very seriously you live life only once so go ahead lets all be "happy and Marry" ooops merry ..lol ..get it ...get it! Gosh Somebody stop me!!!!

Entire human race...

Free the world make it a better place ..for you and for me and the entire human race...beautiful song by our very own Micheal Jackson..May your soul rest in peace!

Well if you think this blog is about Micheal you are partly right but only that because it's about this song actually..You know this song always touches me more than any other coz it's not talking about freedom for a particular nation or religion. Instead it talks about freedom for the entire human race and that is whats truly admirable about this song.

Freedom from caste issues ..freedom from religious bias ...freedom from our very own prejudices now that's what I call being truly liberated. Truly being free means I respect not only my freedom but others as well ..means not only giving respect to my God only but equally giving respect to others beliefs as well.

It means being able celebrate Christmas, Diwali , Holli,pongal and whole lot others and where else can you do that except in INDIA. I know..I know there are still problems -honour killings going rampant in places like rajasthan where couples from same village or opposite caste cannot marry ..people getting discriminated because of their caste ..upper caste ,,lower caste..she is a Punjabi ..he is a Muslim ..he is marwari!!

I'm lucky I'm born into a family where sardars are married to christans., ..my mother who is a punjabi brahmin ,her sister is married to a muslim and my fathers real brother married to a European.
So when i speak or in this case write it is from experience of having seen my European Aunt trying to shake a leg on Punjabi songs...by seeing this handsome Christan boy playing a dholak at a punjabi wedding while winking at his wife who happens to be a sardarni. It's not only my family but there are so many others like this but I hope it becomes the story of the whole world and specially in rural areas where even talking to a person from another caste is not only a crime but it can cost you your life as well...

I hope no actually I have faith that a time will come when we all belonging from different religions ,caste and nationalities will be able to live together in harmony along with our own individual beliefs , values and sentiments ..it is then that I will truly feel freee...HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY!!!!

Long time no see

Gawd I never been sooo busy as to not take out time to write but this time I have been.
Too busy with work ....too involved in Rakhi ka Sawaymvar(Yes I never miss it), too tired and sleepy sometimes(yup got plenty of excuses!!)

You know what but between all this I missed something and yes you know whats coming...I missed writing about irrelevant yet important stuff.

It irritated the hell out of me that I could not find time to blog..to write what I feel, in a nut shell could not find time for meeeee(scary I tell u).Soo now I have decided come rain,hail or snow a "woman has to do what she has to do" ...(Yes I always wanted to use that line)

Anyways will try oops no no will make sure I write because it makes me happy though I hope it doesn't make you sad ...what the hell Megha takes to blogging like how a fish takes to water.
God I'm in such a mood I'm starting to freak myself out... catch you later Alligator !!!

Down but not out

Sometimes it is so difficult to prove yourself to others even though you know you have it in you. I mean you know you are good but either the circumstances are not right or you get the chance and you blow it. Which can be a major bumer coz you don't know whether to bang your head against the wall, scream loudly or bash up someone(Chill I do not promote any of these things ..though I wish sometimes..).

It's a little tough not losing faith and still trudging on when people are ready to write you off...but thennnn tannn tadaaa...sound ...music and action..what just happened!

Well I am one of those majorly lucky people who has a God like mother and brother who rather being a pesk is one of my biggest supporter...feels nice when someone still believes in you when even you don't want to.

So here goes out a salute to all those people who have friends, family member,other loved ones who stand by them...You are very lucky to have them in you life.

Do not take them for granted or ever hurt them coz they will be around when no one else is!!
BE HAPPY AS WELL COZ YOU ARE TRULY BLESSED JUST LIKE I AM...!!
