" SILENT WHISPERS"

Stories never fail to fascinate children and i was no different from them.And the one person who made sure that her grandchildren didn't miss out all the fun was my lovable grandmother.Her hair might have turned from black to white,she might have got wrinkles on her face,but she had the vigour of the youth,a woman of an imposing personality and the perfect blend of warmth and tenderness.Life bestowed her with lot of hardships but she managed to overcome all of them with the help of the strong will power that she was gifted with.She always believed  that "It's not about what you are facing in life....It's about how difficulties tend to fragile infront of your strength...So tell the difficulties that YOU ARE not that weak."
 Iam and will always be indebted to my grandmother for introducing  us to a different world.....  a world full of  beautifully dressed up fairies n gods,where everything was so calm and quiet....it seemed as if there was somthing magical about this place,something that drew us more closer towards it each time we slipped into this world.The  silvery water looked like a dazzaling stage and the moon walked on it like a hero with a godly grace.These entrancing pictures are stored in the camera of my mind...and i relive these moments  every now and then.
These dreams have taught us so much,infact they have also to some extent played their role in shaping us as indivisuals.The stories...for example always had some moral lesson at the end to teach,n my granmother made sure we understood the morals well !! On the contrary todays life is full of humdrum n chaos....where we hardly get the time to notice the beauty of nature like  watching  the starry nights which by no means looks less charming,the beauty of stars ....these natures lamps are as if filled with everlasting oil.
 But sadly the person who made all this possible for us...for letting us explore the beauty of a world beyond this world....  i would say, this charming personality(my granny) is not with us any more.I know she is up there watchin us all .But for me i know she will always be with me till my last breath.....always to guide me as a true mentor and my companion.

SOME THOUGHT PROVOKING QUOTATIONS!!!

1> "Expecting the world to treat you fairely because you are a good person is a little like;
expecting the bull not to attack you simply because you are a Vegetarian." 


2> "We worry about what our child will be tomorrow;
yet we forget that he is someone today."


3>"There's only one corner of the universe that you can be certain of improving ;
and that is  'YOURSELF'."


4>"LAURELS dont stop, when good work starts speaking for itself."


5> "What has gone by is 'past';
What lies ahead is 'future';
But what we have is a gft,that is why it is called 'PRESENT'."


6> "Fear is that dark room where negatives are developed".


7> A BEAUTIFUL THING TO PONDER UPON................
" Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived together.There was a storm in the sea one day and the island was about to get drowned.Every feeling was scared but EGO wasn't moving...............
Also the water was rising.Every one asked LOVE to leave him and to come into the boat,But 'LOVE WAS MADE TO LOVE'.All feelings escaped n the storm took over the island.....
At last love died because of ego on the island..
MORAL- LOVE DIED BCZ OF EGO.........

Nostalgia Has Its Roots Here(LUCKNOW)!!

"ANDAAZ-E-LUCKNOW" is an experience and just for the record it hasn't changed.A fact that any diehard Lucknowite will endorse with the same zeal as would those who have left the city generations ago.The City of Nawabs instills in us a yearning that is carried on from one generation to another,To the extent that most come back to relive their memories.
Lucknow has always been identified with its rich culture-the mellifluous music,rich poetry,fine cuisine,masterful embroidery,n not to mention its impeccable manners.The city in keeping with its image has moved forward at its own languid pace.The older landmarks, the ones lucknow showcases to the world- the Imambaras,the Roomie Gate,the Bhool Bhulaiya-have been born out of the whims and fancies of the Nawabs who once ruled Awadh.The Bara Imambara was built bcz Nawab Asaf ud-daulah wanted to ensure that his people,ravaged by famine,could get employment at the construction site.But such details are now mere footnotes in history
But inspite of all this the Lucknow of today is the one that"LOVES THE OLD AND EMBRACES THE NEW".where bylanes of Gadbad Jhala do as brisk a buisness as swanky shops in the malls;where elaborate chikankari saris are matched with the fast changing trends in fashion;where kathak steps are in sync with salsa,where kababs tickle the taste buds as strongly as Big Mac burgers.The evenings of this city are equally entrancing as the mornings.Lucknow ki 'kohre bhari subah'-well it brings back the romance of an era bygone.
The euphoria of being in lucknow cannot be duplicated anywhere in the world.As the city moves forward boldly keeping pace with the advancement that is taking place and at the same time drawing strength from its blessings, the only one thing that i can say is that it will always remain very close to my heart n no matter how high i rise in life or  how far away i move move from this place it will always remain my first HOME.

ECSTASY

Kya din the vo..............

June ki garmi mein vo tapti hui chhat,

Phr bhi thi umang puri jb utate the hum patang.

Vo gudde gudiyon ka khel,Jab hota tha apas mein dono ka mel,

baarati bankar jate the hum sabhi,khub mauj masti krte the

hum sbhi.

Vo mitti ke bartano mein chai banana,vo jhoot mooth k ghar basana,

vo tayar ka jhula,vo cardboard ka ghar,in sab bejan cheezon mein bhi lagta tha apnapan.

Vo apas ke jhagde,vo ruthna manana,vo kancho ka khel ya phr khud ko sajana.

Vo bacpan ka PYAAR,jiske liye jaan bhi kurbaan thi yaar,

vo todna uske liye phul roz chori se,aur dkhna usko chup k roz khidki se.

Vo naye naye kapde pehan kr sbko dikhana,khud apne tarifo k pul bandhna.

vo baarish k dino mein chaton par nahana,aur kagaz k panno ki naav banana,

vo jhumna, nachna,gana us mausam mein,aur ho jana bimaar thik aglE din se.

Vo ma ki daat ka koi asar na hna,har roz koi na koi cheez khona.

vo samjhana MA ka pyar se,ki jo bhi kaam kro,kro use dil laga ke.

Vo nani ki kahaniyan jisme hti thi raja ki kayi raaniyan,yaad hain aj bhi.

vo sunati thi bade prem se vo kahani,aur pata nhi kb lag jati thi ankh hmari.

VO SAPNEY DKHNA DIN MEIN HAR ROZ,

AJ BANNNA HAI YE TO KAL KUCH AUR.

Ye "yaadein" le ati hain chehre par ek choti si hasi,

Kyunki ye sab yaadein judi hain hmse kahin na kahin.

aur kisi ne sach hi to kaha hai.......

"JUDAI EK AISA GHAAV HAI JO BHARA NHI JA SKTA,

AUR YAADEIN AISA KHAJANA HAI JO CHURAYA NHI JA SKTA."

A personal n candid chat with ME.

Life so far has been like a beautiful dream for me partly unfolding its beauty before me everyday.I've learned so much from it that it feels it has been like my second mother correcting me at every step n teaching me how to stand up each time i fall.U know someone was right when he said that "COURAGE IS'NT THE STRENGTH TO GO ON,ITS GOING ON WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GO",

And life taught me exactly the same.There have been moments when i thougth of giving up but then it was coz of the support of my family that i learnt to face the odds that sumtimes stand in our way trying to weaken us.The unconditional love that has been bestowed upon me is surely sumthin that i can never ever describe in words.

The people who have been the role models for me all through r my mother n my brother.They actually want to c me risin high in life n for this they have been wid me at every single phase of my lfe always lending me their hand when i needed them the most.My mother, well she has been the best friend that i cud ever had,sharing my most trusted secrets n keepin them to the safest place n that was upto HERSELF.

I can never ever repay her back for all that c has done 4me but surely there is one thing that i hope to do one day for her n that is to rise high in life where c always wanted to see me n to give her all the happiness of the world!!

N same goes for my dear bhaiya,he is the one person i admire the most.It is said that ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS n his actions have surely proved dis.Today he has got a good job n is doin pretty well n i'll always pray that he keeps movin ahead in life n pass out wid flyin colours in all his endeavours!!Today when v have grown up,which v always wanted to as children i badly miss those childhood days,those fights with my brother,those long restless nights before the examinations when v used to study together,those scoldings for not studyn,sharin food frm the same plate n many more small things whch at that time seemed insignificant but today i realise their worth.N all these things r an integral part of my life,sumthin widout whch my LFE is incomplete n meaningless.N I WILL SURELY WORK HARD IN LIFE SO THAT I CAN BRING A BIG SMILE ON THE FACES THAT HAVE BEEN THE REASON BEHIND THAT SMILE ON MY FACE !! THANKS.
