MY HEART GOES ON....!!!

Oh…my dearest friend......seen the places around
Subtle language you sound, why did I never understand????? 

Here is my true beef cake,
Hotter than the hot cup cake,
Understood your love... don’t want to escape,
Ultimate relationship i will never ever break….. 

I spoke so blatantly, complaints I conversed endlessly,
But u my baby put it up so patiently, 
made your queen to decide to love u unconditionally!!!!!! 

On and on the fun goes on, 
now our love s fully grown,
Loads of kisses for your charm, 
will love to be "caged" in your arm….

YOUR LOVE MAKE ME GO “MAD”!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is your love?  Gone with the wind!!!

“care” that you’ve shown, is all “out” from your mind!!!

My thoughts train is running,  dn’t want to stop!!!

Mountains of dreams destroyed by a mop!!!

Rocking days we had together, eyes are trickling with tears!!!

You know me better, where is your promise that you will be for ever???

I want to be like nail, always together along with flesh!!!

The more you trim, I mature to look “fresh”

It is not child’s lullaby,

It is not sun rises in the west…

It is not dawn at mid night,

Also not a stream without a boat….

All may sound different….rather difficult….

They are impossible; if you be with me our life is simple….!!!

Oh! My love I adore you, ultimately left me without a clue!!!

Withering hopes, not willing to accept…

Glooming grief, no one I want you my dear except…!!!

Come back like sun rays…every day every where…

Cajoling gaze, it is what will show me that you truly “CARE”!!!!!

SUCCESS IS SWEET.......

 ”SUCCESS IS A JOURNEY NOT A DESTINATION” it is a very famous line and I often use it when I speak. Sometimes we are confused as to what is success?  Once when I took an interview in Gitam College, I had asked a student to define success and satisfaction?  The answer he gave was amazing…….the boy told me that success is a feeling of contentment and satisfaction means when we decide to stop trying!!! He also emphasized that both are inter linked.

“Success “we do relate it with money too.  In fact, it is one of the most common GD topics! Money makes money in the same way……success brings success!!!!  Because it gives confidence to try new ventures also persuade to take risks.  When we say that we have attained success in a particular venture it clearly shows that we have kept a dead line for our hard work and perseverance.  In this way, there is no yard stick to measure the success rate!!!!!! Our own mind calculates and decides the target. Sometimes I think success also relates to state of mind, because it is derived out of belief, one’s potential, actions and results.

Handling success is also an art……people do get carried away with fame, recognition, respect and money when they are at the peak… it is very vivid that the “top” is always an isolated one. We may lose good friends, peace of mind and true happiness if we do not know how to showcase our attitude when we are leading a successful life. So I would like to say…..keeping ones emotions in control and maintaining a down to earth attitude is also a long term and never ending goal!! The test of behavior of a man is known, ” NOT when he has nothing in hand….however it is when he has everything and…how well he handles it with ease without hurting others”.

When I talk about success…there is another word attached to it…and it is failure! “If a man has not failed...then he has never lived”  this is my most inspiring line whenever  I am facing challenges  in my personal as well as professional life. We are here to live…..the fluctuations give us to realize our worth.  It is like…in an ECG report if the graph is not straight, which means the person is leading a healthy life...And the dead man’s report is just the opposite!!! So life will have hardships and it is we who should take it in our stride and sail…!!

At last I would like to conclude what is true success???

SUCCESS 
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
- by Ralph Waldo Emerso

LOVE AAJ KAL…!!!

What women want? Is it a rocket science???? I don’t think so…..there are many things they surely want, however,  I would like to touch upon a few important ones. They want respect , creativity in keeping her happy, love the way she is and last but definetley the biggest one is “confidence in your approach”!!!  to put it in Ranbir kapoor’s style….”keep it simple silly”!!

Who is the hero? Who is a dream man?? And who is adorable???  It was distinctly categorized that a man who rescues , who is romantic also listens to his girl fits in the complete “raymond” man!! The ladies who belong to my generation will vouch for this, because good = heroism in our days.  A  bad Rajinikanth is guided by his wife / girl friend and turns into a nice man, is what we enjoyed in our hay days sorry younger days!!  We would never bother about the villian, he was always projected as a heartless, cunning, blood thirsty wretch!!! 

However, time has changed now. My big question to these young girls is….why are you getting attracted to negatives? A  person who has more dark shades in his personality has the maximum girls in his arms, contemporary movies are made on anti hero subject and which is a huge hit among the youngsters. Of course I do agree that a girl can make or break a home, but the latest trend is the girl herself getting onto his path, which is really a wake up call for all of us.  A boy who says that “I am bad” is considered as the best person on the earth for any girl, as she thinks that he is being frank. Girls have to realize that by uttering the statement the boy is very clear of what he wants!!! However the girls are perplexed and   succumb  to his demands  at the end.

Another unconventional thing which is prevailing in our young minds is “ love for vampires” !!! It has won many hearts through the latest “Twilight series”. This shows the height of boredom in their life and people want to explore eccentric things! Our old novels have to be face lifted and made to  appeal to the young generation, at the same time….we should not forget the basics.

 I have mentioned in my  introductory lines about the four  things  which are very important to win a girl. To emphasize  more on that, Be creative and confident in your approach. Girls dn’t want your macho or dominance in your attitude.  Create your own  brand image, they just want a honest, secured love from her man.

And for the girls…..do not jump to glorified stuff, all are short lived. Be with a man who says the world looks beautiful because of your presence. 

Men are from mars and Women are from venus…..but they live on the earth! 

Games That My Son Wants To Play!!!

Hello…..friends,

Dreams are Desires….as a facilitator I constantly  advise my students to have concrete goals. Of course goals will keep changing from time to time.  The most embarrassing  question  for any child is “ What do you want to become in future?”  
When I was a kid, I often spoke about becoming a secretary in a very big Multinational company…..i wanted to swish in good stylish clothes,  articulate in immaculate language, earning a hefty pay package and shouldering lot of responsibilities of the organisation!! However all this changed when I came into my final year at college…. I started dreaming about getting married and settling in life!!! “Being a house wife” was my dream then!!!  I think  God knew that I would be  a “misfit” in the Multinational companies…..and…..he had his own plans! I was married at the age of 20.
Life has changed after marriage, we think more about kids than about oneself!  I strongly believe that “success is a journey and not a destination” ….the Indian team has won the world cup…it was a great moment to see the winning sixer shot  by Dhoni. I have read interviews of Yuvraj Singh and Gautham Gambhir’s mothers!!!!! And of course another article by famous  writer Shobha De writing about Dhoni’s mother, I did not find any depth in her write up though!!!
I begin to ask myself “Will my son become a crickter?”

Personally speaking I wanted my  son to be called as DR. SIDDHARTH, however he disagrees by saying that he wants to become a cricketer. Slowly….now I have reconciled and decided to give importance for his passion towards this game. This is so because….as  a mother I can feel the grin on my face when he explains the rules of the game and the names of the new players.  Though the path is tough, I would make the necessary arrangements for him to take up cricket as a profession….now  this is my dream as well.  Doors are open when we start attracting the positives!!! Now… I am dreaming as though Shobha De is writing about my parenting skills and media is taking interviews as a cricketer Siddharth’s mother!!!

Now….a new goal is set!

Extra time for cricket!!

No more conditions when he goes out to play!!!

Waiting for my “Big Day”

AN UNCOMMON EXPERIENCE........!!!

Hey..another experience I wish to share with you all  Though it happened in 1993 and 1994…(of course very old!!!) it is still vivid in my mind.  As  you are all aware that I was born and brought up in Chennai..a city with conventional people and strong belivers of traditions!!! Mine was a typical arranged marriage, I was a newly wed .. with lots of dreams in my heart, I had travelled to Mumbai with my husband in 1993 to…..Mumbai a city of dreams…where people love fast life and you can find heaven if your pocket is not barren!!!

The local trains are a common medium of transport for any Mumbaikar. I was totally new to this kind of life style..  it took a while to get adjusted to Mumbai. It was during my transition period. Once my hubby and I travelled from VT to Kanjur marg ( where my in-laws stay) by the local train. Most of the ladies travel in the ladies compartment  but since I didn’t know the stations , my husband suggested that I be with him. A true military officer is promising…I just obeyed him!!! When we were about to get down, he instructed me to get down first and I did just that, but because of the crowd he couldn’t do so and the relentless train started moving and I was left all alone at the station!!! As usual people came to console me and a railway employee helped me and said that I should not get worried. I was feeling miserable and wanted to rant with my husband later. But my agitation did not last long……my poor husband caught another train and reached the same place where I was standing!!! Like a child, I was much relived to see him. He assured me that nothing would have happened to me and I must take it as a learning experience!!! I was happy at the end!!!!!!

The story did not end with this………..in 1994 exactly a year later….the same incident happened, we were travelling in the local train with a lot of luggage and we were not able to get down with all our stuff. I got off with a suitcase and the train merrily moved leaving me at the station!!! But I had become smart by then, I did not panic. I came out of the station and took an auto rickshaw to reach to my in-law’s house. I informed my parents in –law about the incident and they took it coolly.

Time was passing but there was no sign of my husband coming back home and I was getting paranoid. Four hours had passed, he was still missing. I could not eat anything as I was feeling very bad from inside as to what would have happened to him… and later in the evening, he emerged like full moon with a long face, and totally angry on me!!!  He started arguing, “How could you leave the station just like that?” as he searched for me for a very long time and this made him sad and angry. I tried telling him that I had been smart enough to manage things without panicking..but in vain!!! He was totally not in sync with me, men have strong hearts and especially military men have stronger ones!! I was only one year old married….so finally I said “sorry” to him. But jokingly I also said that he should take it as a learning experience to cope up with a young chennai girl!!!!

Now, I can confidently travel by the locals and get down at the right station…but this incident is a joke for our children as they still wonder how could this happen to their parents????

AT THE TOUCH OF LOVE.... EVERYONE BECOMES A POET.......

Come february, love is in the air…….

It is the time no one can scare…..!

A SMALL POEM TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN LOVE………!!!

If I was an LG TV, you would have said,   I am “digitally yours”. 

If I was “Johnson and Johnson” baby soap, you would have said,  “No more    tears”. 

 

If I was Tata sky, you would have said,  Life is “jinga lala”.

If I was Coco cola you would have said,  “open happiness” that’s the formula.

If I was Nokia , you would have said, “Honey let us “stay connected”.

If I was BSNL, you would have said, Bubbly “you are the best”.

If I was brand Philips, you would have said, “Let us make things better”.

If I was brand Videocon, you would have said, “you are my leader”.

Don’t be like Pizza hut, making me thirty minutes wait!

Even two minutes Maggi  sounds so late!

I m just a “muggle”………!

Really cannot juggle…..!

Let me put it clear……..!

Will you be my valentine for ever????
