Naam Gum Jayega

I happened to hear this song "Naam gum jayega" from the movie "Kinara" who's Lyrics is written by Gulzar,very accidentally when I was in the verge of downloading some other song and was completely speechless.The song is soulfully sung by the Queen of music LataMangeshkar and the Lyrics of the same..It's just a meaty..Nothing can substantiate it's meaning..

"NaamgumJayega,Cheharaayehbadaljayega
Meri Awwaz hi pehchaan hai,gar yaad rahe"

This takes us to a completely different world which drives us to give some work to our thought process. It makes us think, even we need to do something more memorable, something more meaningful, something which atleast one life thinks about us when we depart from the place we are. We need to carve a niche for ourselves by doing something good and nice to others, so that they remember us by our deeds...

Here this song has it's own meaning and the singer is herself the best example. When we think about the Queen of Music Lata Mangeshkar, she is Immortal. She's soulfully sung songs in such a way that her beatific Euphony directly takes us to a different world and stays in our mind for years. There is no count to the number of times the same song gets hummed by millions around the globe!!!Such is the permanence. These Euphonious songs have changed minds and calmed souls. So through the language called MUSIC she's carved a niche for herself.

The beginning lines of the song aptly suits her very living which states my name might not be there,my true existence may not be there or rather I may come down as a different person with a different name,but then my recognition is only through my voice,my music and only music.

All in her thoughts!!!

They surround her all over,they follow her where ever she goes...and those are hers..Her thoughts..her only thoughts..It is just hers..

When she was little kid,they followed her asking why does it rain while she used to play in those showers of rain,why are the little sparrows always on the trees while mom always used to show her those and managed putting those small spoons of food into her mouth and was more than happy whenever she was successful even if half the bowl of food was in the little kid's stomach.

When she was a little gal, her thoughts again followed her asking why should she know those colourful small and big letters when it was time for her play,why should she go to school and sit in those classes when there was a huge ground to play.

When she reached her teens,her thoughts following her asked her why does mom ask her to concentrate on her studies and rarely allowed her to play for long hours,why are people around her catching a glipmse of her whenever there was a chance and why was she doing the same as well.

When she reached her sweet late teens,her thoughts got a new look where she began to dream in her thoughts about a handsome prince just as in Cindrella,thinking her to be one..

When she was about to complete her college,her thoughts changed drastically where she wanted to achieve something more,something nice so that her mom who used to feel tired feeding her naughty little one becomes proud of her young gal..

When she completed her college,her thoughts followed her again asking why cant things be the same as it was before she left home,why cant she get back to her mom and be with her as she was when she was a little kid..

When she started working,her thoughts gave her an answer as she realized that she had transformed from a flippant,naughty gal to a serious gal,why does mom always tell her that she had grown up to be an young lady now..

Her thoughts followed,followed and followed through all the phases she passed through.But still she feels very young and very naughty just like a kid many a times.Her thoughts always drag her to the windows whenever it rains,but never lets her physically to go out and get drenched,never lets her to play with all those cute little kids,spending their holidays..,never lets her get those long summer holidays where she got cozy in her grand mom's arms and play the whole day with her cousins and her thoughts just gets back to those days and craves to get back there,but life already has something more to think and give to her...!!!

All these finally becomes her only treasurable memories that can be cherished throughout her life ...

Happiness!!!

"The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of Unhappiness..!!!!"..All confused as to why am I thinking about Happiness all of sudden.? So was I...

When it comes to my personal front my thoughts always conflict stating that am I happy and contented or not..If yes then was I not happy until before and if not was I ever happy before..??All confused by my thought..

Here comes a very small analysis.."Happiness I feel is a state of mind!!!".It is something that has to come from within. If we get whatever we want or craved for since long we say that we are happy else say we are sad and confused. Life is actually a journey and so is happiness. As we balance life, which is a mixture of joys and sorrows so should we balance the state of being happy or sad in this journey called life.

Personally I have always got whatever I actually wanted..Even now I am pretty much contented with what all I have. Yeah..I do have certain dreams which I want to bring to reality. Dream is a state of thought which keeps us active and gives us sort of enthusiasm to achieve something more. When we achieve this, happiness automatically blooms in our heart and mind. Again we start dreaming of a new thing and this continues. But accidentally when we don't achieve what we had dreamt there comes the disaster. We would be totally shattered and feel this is the end..This is called sadness..

So if a sort of balanced life is lead then happiness and sadness will have the same amount of doors open to them in our lives. Nothing will have an exception.


"Happiness is the feeling you're feeling when you want to keep feeling it".....This thought is so true....

Year 2010 to Me....!!

2010..This year was the most memorable year in my Life!!!!!

It's been said, "Life and thoughts changes as years pass and as the transition happens from a carefree,freewheeling College going gal to a serious Career oriented gal..."
Initially that freewheeling College going gal transformed to a Flippant gal and later to a serious gal......

Guessing who that freewheeling,flippant,serious gal is???
It's meee........

All these transformations happened in me during this year 2010.I almost roamed around places,travelled crazily and what not.....All these experiences thought me new things in life.Everything,every moment thought me one common thing...ie.Patience.

It also thought me how to deal with people.Speak whenever required and just enjoy and live every moment and be contented with what I have actually gained.

I just lived every moment of the year to the fullest..

During the beginning of the year,Life had dragged me to a place which I had'nt even dreamt of..But then I got accustomed to the same.Met new people,learnt new things,visited new places,learnt what life is outside when we are far far away from home sweet home....
I am grateful to the Almighty God for bestowing on me what I actually wanted and being with me in all times of distress.

With lots of new dreams,aspirations and dream of flying far and wide life a carefree bird , I heartily welcome this New Year 2011..

"“Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find ''tomorrow'' on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, ''If I had my life to live over again. ''Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.”....This is a very nice inspiring thought........:)

My visit to The TAJ

Pic2: The waiting hall at the entrance



It's been sometime that I blogged.I actually wanted to write something about TAJ which I visited during my stay in Mumbai..But due to so called time constraint I couldn.So writing about it after a span of 7 months,visiting it.

The TAJ..The first time I saw or heard about this marvellous place was when the terrorists entered the place and killed thousands of innocent lives.Then,after that I saw the place and heard about the place during my TCS Induction at Trivandrum.Got to know as to why did such a marvellous and palacious star hotel come into existence.

The History of the prestigious luxury five star hotel located in the Colaba region of Mumbai is that it is widely believed that JamsedJi Tata decided to build the luxurious hotel after he was refused entry to one of the city's grand hotels of the time, Watson's Hotel, as it was restricted to 'whites only'.This was what I heard during our Induction.

Then I finally got a chance to visit the place.It was all of a sudden that my parents came down to Mumbai to meet me,that we decided to roam around the place called Mumbai.We reached the CST station from where we hired a Taxi to reach the gateway of India at the Nariman point.
Got a chance to see the corporate head office of the firm I work for in Nariman point.

Then we spent some time over the place in and around the Gateway of India.No sooner did we see the TAJ opposite to Gateway of India we were all astonished.We saw all who's who of Mumbai getting in there and decided to get inside the place.In the beginning we were a bit hestiant as to if they would allow normal people like us to enter the place.The security was very kind enough to allow us inside.

No sooner did we get inside the TAJ we were all preplexed and shocked seeing such great interiors and what not.It was like a dream land for each one of us.Me and my friends just started off exploringthe place.Every thing inside the TAJ is very unique by it's own.

We had a photo session in and around there and then managed to search for a coffee shop in such a big hotel. The Coffee shop is again unique by it's own.God!!!We saw the menu card and finally decided on satisfying ourselves with Coffee and Tea.(actually By 2 coffee and Tea)..Such was the price out there.

Then after paying off the bill, we started exploring the place again.A huge mall which runs for floors was present in there.We saw a visitors book which was kept on display with eminenet personalities writing about the hospitality that they received at the TAJ.The list was like who's who from every corner of India along with personalities across the seas.

Finally after spending some more time loafing around the place, we left the place.We reached the famous Chowpatti to have the mouth watering and famous chats after a drive across the sea which is called as the Marine drive.

LOVE:)

"Preetiyannu Preetisida Preetiyu, Preetigagi Preetisida Preetiyannu Preetisuttade"

All amazed!!!! Even I was equally amazed when I heard this..

It was a few days back when I got back home all exhausted from office,that I turned on the TV and heard this sentence or rather a dialogue from a movie..

First few minutes I pretty much thought that it was just a dialogue and then a tongue twister. I sat down for a moment and realised what was it actually...Man!!!This has too much of a meaning which I just loved...

I basically donno what love is...Cos I have not met anyone as such to realise the same. But yeah..I do agree that I dream about it......

It's just that love which loves love, loves everything..The person who loves this love for the sake of getting love will automatically get that Love......All Confused!!!Yeah...It's the direct translation..

I have actually heard a lot about love from my friends...It's a wonderful feeling,sense of a good thought that some one's made for us for a lifetime,feeling that someone would be with us always and what not....

Love for me is just love.It's just giving..What ever we give.,we get it back..This is what I just believe.. For this if I have good understanding ,I can get back the same.

So we gotta love love, so that we get the love which loves love and craves for love.....:)

HAS TIME CHANGED OR HAVE I???

It was almost an year, that had passed by when I finally got to go to Mysore ..the place which made me what I am now,the place where I graduated to be an Engineer,the place where I spent the best days of my life,made great friends and what not...

I just had been to our so called adda!! Ie. KD Road and realised,things are just the same, but the place is not as happening as it used to be when I used to haunt the place in big gang.

The frequency of 129,130 buses have increased and all over the place I could actually see buses plying around. I just remembered those days when we used to wait for hrs to get into one 129 or 130 and reach my destination..Not now though..!!!Even though a Bus was right in front of me, my cranium didn’t let me get into it...

Thus after all these ,I just realised one thing that...”Have things have changed or is it that I myself have changed to a very great extent”

Work has actually made me get what I want at any instant of time these days, but I seriously don’t feel the charm nor the happiness which I used to, during those days..Those were "the best days"

Life has become pretty mechanical these days.Those were the days wherein I never used to get up before 8 AM atleast, it was only during my Internals that I used to get up and go and write the same. My day never ended without a chit-chat with all my friends till late night,watching numerous number of movies and gossips used to be at it’s peak many a times...There used to be actually no difference between a weekday and weekend and I never used to crave for the same.

These are the days wherein I am forced to get up atleast by 6.30 and get ready and run to take the CAB so that I can reach the office by 8 AM.No chit chat’s in the office.Just the serious work and work alone, with compulsory breaks for Breakfast,lunch and coffee. I head back home pretty tired and just SLEEP would be in my mind and nothing else.This is what life has become.Almost mechanical.No movies,no chit-chat,nothing...

I just crave for Weekends these days hoping that I would atleast then be what I used to be..But cant..!!!Cos..My Time-table has already changed. I sleep early on Fridays and Saturdays too...hoping to get up late,but end up getting up at 6.30 and realise that it’s Saturday or Sunday and that I can sleep for some more time. I end up getting some sleep and by an hour I wake up at 7.30 realising that I need to complete the usual weekend chores and some extra tasks.

I seriously donno where am I exactly heading too.....Have I changed or has things around me changed, making everything mechanical......!!!!!
