Things you should avoid doing in the gym

There is a hell lot of annoying and unnecessary things that people do in the gym which pisses off others. Maybe you do it unintentionally but always keep a check on yourself that you are not doing any of these in the gym. And I know there are people who do it intentionally and won’t budge until someone asks them to.

1.    Stop relaxing on the machines if you are not using them

This is really annoying and stupid of people who keep sitting on the machines and surfing their unnecessary Facebook or talking on the phone. And don’t get up until someone asks them to.

2.    Walking on the treadmill while talking on the phone

Some people do it just for the sake of it and walk on the treadmill for a longer duration while chitchatting on the phone. It is not going to help you lose your calories much. You are just annoying the person who is waiting to use it after you are done with your unnecessary talks.

3.    Interfering with your not so important advice.

Yes, people do this. They interfere in your exercises while you are pushing it real hard. Maybe, they find it cool or like doing some social service but really the trainer is there to do this. Sometimes it is okay if the trainer is not around and someone is new to the gym. But not always, please stop being so nosy.

4.    Stop taking naps on yoga mat

Really, why the hell people do this? If you are not in the mood of exercising or just tired, no one is forcing you to do it just go back to your home and stop being a lazy ass in the gym. I have seen people doing this. I thought okay maybe it is shavasana but then 10 minutes later they are still lying at the same place with the same position. Please, you are using the space just to take a nap that too in the gym.

5.    Leave your laziness at the home

If you really want to see the results and want to lose that belly fat or your cellulite. Just leave your laziness back at the home before going to the gym. Because you also know it is your worst enemy ever. Laziness is the one which is stopping you from achieving your goals. If possible leave your smartphone too with the laziness; it can distract you from your goals. Push yourself real hard in the gym; go for that last rep and if possible extra reps too. Run that extra mile which you are not able to do. Complete that last set of squats or triceps. It is always extra hard work which shows the magic and you are going to love yourself more after achieving that flat belly or those six pack abs which you always wanted.

How to Lose Weight: The Easiest Way

Okay! So this is a tried and tested method and I am not goofing it up. I have tried it myself and succeeded in achieving my goal to a certain extent. Also, it needs a bit of patience like every amazing thing you want to achieve needs. It won’t give you quick results and you might also not witness a lot of change but the weighing machine will definitely show it. And your old pair of jeans which you loved but could not wear because of your bulging tummy will also give you that feel.

Now, we get to the point straight no more exaggerations. So, here is the deal:

One thing that can help you lose the 2-3 kgs a month is Water. Yes, plain and simple water. Drink as much water as you can. But, what is more, important is the timing of drinking water which affects a lot in our digestive system. Water is one of the main and most important substances which helps in digesting the food we eat. An adult human body contains 60 per cent water on an average, which results in half of your body weight.

The leaner a person is more water his or her body contains. That means people who are obese or fat have less amount of water than they should have ideally. This happens because fatty tissues contain less water as compared to lean tissues. I don’t know much about tissues and biology; you can read about it more on Google if you want to.

So, the important point is you should drink lots and lots of water on daily basis. It will be difficult to drink 2-3 liters of water in the starting, but gradually it will become a lot easier and habitual too. Water detoxifies your body and removes all the dirt and unnecessary fats from your body.

Benefits of drinking more water

1. It gives a natural glow to your skin. Everyone knows that water is the only natural cleanser for cleaning anything your car, bike, house, clothes etc. The quality of cleanliness water give cannot be substituted with anything. So, when you use water to clean everything else, why don’t you use water to clean your inner body parts? The quality of glow and shine water will give cannot be substituted with any artificial drinks, face wash or cleansers.
2. It also helps in removing the acne, pimples, and marks from your face. Water will give a natural glow to your face as well as it will decrease all the acne or marks you have. It will also improve the complexion of your skin by making it flawless. But, it will take some time and you have to be patient about it.
3. Water flushes out all the toxins which promote weight loss.
4. It will keep your body hydrated and full of energy.
5. Drinking more water helps in digestion and constipation a lot. Those who constipation should drink 2-3 liters of water daily or more if you can.

When to and when not to drink water

In the morning when you wake up the first thing you should do is drink water. Drink at least 2-3 glasses of water just after you wake up. What I do is, I keep a one-liter bottle just beside my bed in the night before going to sleep and sometimes if I need to drink in the mid of the night I sip from it. And the rest of it I drink in the morning just after waking up. It makes our body hydrated and less sleepy. This part helps the most in losing weight just by drinking water. If you want you can also add the juice of half lemon and honey with hot water. It will remove all the toxins and fasten the weight loss process.

The timing of drinking water is also important and by timing, I don’t mean there is fixed timetable to drink water to reduce weight. By timing, I mean before and after having your lunch, dinner or any meal of the day. You should not drink much water just before a meal. You can have a glass of water or half before the meal if you want to. But, you should not drink water just after having your lunch or dinner. One should wait at least 30 minutes after having food because if you drink immediately after eating it will affect your digestion. There are many kinds of juices that our stomach secrets which help in breaking down the food. But, if you mix the water with it slows down the process which can also make you feel bloated.

There is also another important thing that is; you should not drink chilled or cold water or any other cold drink after eating something oily or cheesy and also along with it. For instance, you should not drink Coke or Pepsi when you are having your cheese burst pizza. This is because cold drinks will make it hard to digest the food; also aerated drinks have gas in it which causes bloating. You should never cold drinks with hot junk foods. You can have hot coffee or tea if you want something to drink. But cold drinks are complete no. Similar to cold drinks chilled water too has same effects, but if you want you can have a sip or two of normal water. This point applies to all the oily stuff and junk food that you eat.

So, if losing weight without hard work or exercise is your goal start drinking 2 to 3 liters of water daily and increase it to 3 to 4 liters later on. And if it helps you in any way, please do tell me in the comments section below.

Happy New Year : New Beginning

One hour more and another year will be over. This date, this time, will never be back and we won't be able to live this moment ever again. It will only be read as history in old newspapers or books. Time flies, it is really true. 2015 went by so fast that it seems it was just yesterday 2014 ended but it is already a year long.

It feels the time is flying away from my life but, I am still where I was. I never made any new year resolutions but this year might be different or maybe just like any other year, I always thought the coming year will be different. But this time, I am more determined to change my life. Maybe, it will really be different. Who knows what God’s plans are for my coming year. :P 

Like everyone else, I too again want to change a few bad habits like sleeping late and waking up late, procrastinating things, laziness, etc. In the coming year I have decided to pursue new hobbies like learning guitar, but first of all, I have to buy a guitar. Then I want to buy a DSLR camera and there are a lot more things I want to do, like building castles in the air. (Lolz .. :D)

These desires will never end, I know. Let's just see what 2016 is bringing for me. Hope it will be something good and exciting, and not boring like 2015. 2015 is just about to end in 15 minutes more, I can already listen the sound of crackers from outside. Yes, I am not having any new year bash like always. This year I have decided to sleep early but it seems I am already late. So bye bye 2015.

I wish a very Happy 2016 to all of you. May this year be your best till now and you achieve whatever you desire for. :)

Happy New Year

Skywatch Friday : Sunset Silhouette

Deer Lake, Hauz Khas Village (Delhi, India)

This is the most serene and beautiful place in Delhi. Always been my favorite ever since I had a visit for the first time. It is just different and not Delhi type. It feels like you have come to altogether a different state (ignore some stupid Delhi people around :P). It lets me be stay calm in my own dreamland of nature. 

This picture was taken in summers during one of my trip to the place with my friends. And it is captured on a mobile camera of one of my friend by me of course. I am yet to buy a DSLR :P

PS: It will be my first blog post from mobile. And it's not so feeling good posting from mobile.

PPS: Merry Christmas to all my visitors. May this one be your best till now and Santa gives you all that you wishes for :)

The God's Word

Aisha was dejected and broken from inside, tears were rolling down her cheeks, as she stood on the staircase of yet another office where she got rejected for a job. She was really disappointed with herself and almost lost hope of achieving anything in her life. She was feeling exhausted and didn’t want to try anymore for anything. She just wanted to do nothing at all, she was left with no energy within her to try anymore. She was crying, uncontrollably. 

Then, she heard someone’s steps behind her and tried to control herself, wiped off the tears but, still the guy understood that she was crying.
Aisha looked at him from the corner of her eyes and immediately recognized him. He was the same guy who went for the interview next to her. He came to her and said:

Hey, don’t get dejected it was just another job you deserve better than this.  You were not meant to be here, you will find your destination. Whenever you get rejected somewhere or failed in something, just remember it was not meant for you. You deserve something better than this. Never lose heart for the small failures you face and there is no such thing as big failures. There is always something better waiting for you next door. Just keep looking around and never get too much disappointed. Because, too much disappointment and negativity makes you weak and distracts from performing your part well, that is hard work and hard work only. Just keep going and you will reach your destination one day.


He puts her arm around her shoulder to calm her down and left from there.  Aisha kept looking him going downwards, but could not say anything at all. She was feeling energized and motivated again. She ran downwards to thank him but could not find him anywhere. He was like an angel, whom God has sent for her to calm her down.

Falling apart

I know it’s time

For me to stop, for you to go on.

I know it’s time

To not give, to not expect.

I know it’s time

To let you be careless, to be ignorant

I know it’s time

For me to care less, think less and feel less.

I know it’s time

To move on and go away from you

Because, it won’t matter to you.

I know it is easier said than done

I know I should not care, but I still do.

I know I should not love

But I still do and will do.

Goodbye

I hate goodbyes. I just can’t do it. It is always the other person who had to do it if they must. Most of the times goodbyes are unsaid and these are more painful than the ones that are said. Because you always have that hope of their returning back to you, but usually they don’t. And even if they do, it is not the same person that you know earlier.

I saying goodbye to someone is of no use because I always turn back to them to say a hello or to know how are you? These goodbyes I am referring not only to your loved ones, but there are unsaid goodbyes between the friends also. Your school or college or just any friend who promised to stay by your side always, but then everyone gets busy in the hustle-bustle of their own life, make new friends and then you never talk again and lose contacts. But thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, he made a wonderful thing called Facebook. Now, you can find them but only if you can still recognize them in their display pictures and if you have the patience to scroll down to the list of hundreds of profiles with the same name.

There are also some friends, whom you say goodbye no matter how many times, but you always drift back in a year or two or sometimes more. These are my favorite people. I think even I am also one of these because I usually don’t lose phone numbers and I always save it somewhere or maybe just because of my good memory. Good memory, I must say is not always a good thing to have. Because it also not lets you forget the bad memories or the things you want to forget.

But one should never say goodbye to the ones they can’t do without, no matter what the circumstances are. I think if you really want them in your life you can always manage things and try harder. Maybe, I am not right completely because one cannot change the destiny and sometimes goodbye is the only option left. In the end, I would say goodbyes are the hardest part of my life but somehow it always comes back in my life with one or another face.

Feelings

I wonder why we have feelings. Life would have been much simpler and less complicated if we didn’t have any feelings in the first place. They make everything so messed up. Some days I feel happy the other days sad and frustrated. Though, sad is not the right word, it is a weird feeling. It feels like there is nothing good in life to be happy about. I don’t understand why it happens like, yesterday I was feeling everything is just perfect and right now I am feeling nothing is right, there is a lot that need changes in my life, in me, my attitude, in everything. Maybe it has something to do with being positive and negative. But these all are just feelings again, why do we have them?

My life would have been much different if I didn’t have them. There would have been much fewer problems, no mood swings, no complications, no unnecessary over thinking nothing useless. I think all these feelings waste our time and become a distraction between what we actually want to do.

I know this is just unnecessary stuff I am writing, but I have to write because I don’t have anyone to speak about it or maybe no one will understand. Again, it’s my feelings which I feel no one will be able to understand. I wonder is it even possible to understand what exactly someone feels because everyone has a different mind and different perception. You can express what you feel, but you cannot be sure of what the other understands.

Many a times we say to our closed ones that “you will not understand it”, I think it is true no one understand what are the actual feelings they just empathize with us. Recently, read about “alter ego” – a close friend who thinks or feels similarly to the way you think or feel. Is it really true do people have such friends in their life? I don’t have anyone like that or maybe I am not good in expressing my feelings that’s why they don’t understand.

Alter ego have another meaning too which means the opposite side of one’s personality, I think this alter ego I have. :D No, I don’t have any split personality disorder but I guess everyone have two sides of their personality, one which they shows to everyone and the other which they don’t show to anyone or shows to only closed ones.

But still I feel the feelings are unnecessary. (Again, I feel the feeling of feeling being useless :P) Do we have another word for the word ‘feeling’? Oh God, someone, please help me with my vocabulary. Anyways, enough of feelings now I am getting sleepy feeling because it's 2 am right now and just today I checked that most of my blog posts are uploaded in the mid of the night, such an insomniac I am. I think this insomnia is also a problem that I over think and get different feelings. Whatever it is, after typing all this useless stuff I am feeling good and I think I am back to normal mode. And for this my blog and this laptop deserves a big thank you. 

PS: A big thanks to you too, yes you the one who is reading this, my generous readers. Thank you for reading. 

Live, Learn and Carry On

Image Courtesy: www.onelifesuccess.net

Life is a journey in which we experience many things and learn from it. The important thing is to learn and change your life gradually. I am sharing some of the things which I have learned in my life and I wish I won't repeat the same mistakes again.

I have learned that if you don't think about yourself then don't expect that anyone else would do this for you. If you don't bother to do this doesn't mean that others will think about you before themselves.

I have learned that it is never a reason that you don't have time for someone or something, it is always the priorities that change with the time and needs.

I have learned that you should never do so much for someone that it will become difficult for them to repay, or if they didn't return it will hurt you. you should never give someone the power to hurt you.

I have learned that one should never give the right to anyone to hurt you so much that it will become impossible to forgive them.

I have learned that you should never give so much value to someone in your life that you become valueless in their lives.

I have learned that you should never become dependent on anyone after a certain time period that it will become a burden for them and for you as well.

I have learned that earning happiness is more important than earning money because you can earn money in many ways, but it is not always possible to earn happiness while you earn that money.

I have learned that you should always take your decisions yourself so that you won't blame anyone else in future for what is happening in your life. After all it is your life you have to make your own ways to live it.

I have learned that, if someone expects something from you, try not to disappoint them.

I have learned that if you are expecting too much from someone, sooner or later you will be disappointed with them and yourself.

I have learned that loving yourself is more important than loving others. Don’t try to be so very kind you won’t get anything.

I have learned that you should learn to say “No”. It is not necessary to say yes to everyone on every other thing.

Who am I?

Who am I? I am still in search of its answer, in the process of making my 'Identity'.

In the meanwhile, I am a Dreamer, Observer, Struggler and an Impatient Being. But the most important thing about me is that I want to change all this except being an Observer.

I would always love to observe the things, the world, the people, nature, and the birds. And yes, I do observe myself too. I am a changed person now than what I was a few years earlier. Although my habits have not changed much which I always wanted to do and still wants to.  But still I feel change I am a bit older now and more mature maybe.  Yes, we say age is just a number but I realized lately it’s an important number. And you can never get back to the time you have already lost.

Whenever someone asks me, “tell me something about yourself”. I tell them my name, about my family, my hobbies - which I don’t mostly pursue, and what I do I don’t count them as my hobbies. This one question has always been a difficult one for me on which if I keep thinking I won’t stop to tell them about me. But then I realized what I think is not what people wants to listen.

I am the one with the silent nature but the loudest mind. I am the one who stands in the crowd but still seems different. I am the one who is there in between the people but still not there, a wanderer.  When I passed out from school I got the title “silent water runs deeper”. I took it in a positive manner. I am like a river which seems quiet and shallow on the surface but might be deeper than what you observe. Many might feel I am a mysterious person, but only those who are close to me know how open I am about my thoughts.  Thus, I am a reserved person too everyone can’t be my friend neither I can be a friend to everyone.

Desert

To be in the shade, you have to feel the scorching heat.

life is tangled in the process of covering this distance

Long or short, always depends on your actions, it is destined.

In the desert, you have to walk miles,

to get a few minutes of a shade.

It is a hard earned shelter which might be only for a while,

you might get a cool heavy rain or deadly hot storm.

But you have to face it you don’t have another option,

you can’t escape it.

Life is similar to this desert,

you have to face the challenges,

and conquer them to succeed.

The only difference is you are not alone in this desert to walk,

there will be many in your way to obstruct,

and many to encourage you sometimes.

But to reach your destination,

 you have to keep on moving, without halting.

Sometimes it might feel like,

 you have faced enough,

but there is nothing like enough.

You have to be courageous,

to achieve the Everest of your life.

In the desert you are in desert

in life too, you are alone.

No one is actually there,

you have to make your own ways.

No one can do it better than you, yourself

because it’s your life, after all.

The First Step

Image Courtesy: abundantlymore.com

In life, I have learned it is always the first step and sometimes the first few steps which are most crucial and difficult to take. But once you have taken the first step the rest of the journey passes by, just like a cake walk.

At this first step anyone and everyone  thinks a lot about whether I should do this or not or I want to do this or not, how will I do this, what others would think about me, etc etc.

But here others are not important; it is you who need to decide who need to do the things. Everyone travels his or her journeys on their own.

A lot of questions strikes to the mind, but once you have decided that you have to do this or you need to do this and taken the first step. Then you have only two choices either to quit it or give it your best shot become a loser or winner. The choice is always yours.

The important thing is you just need to initiate somewhere sometime. While writing anything it is always the first line about which I think the most and the rest goes with the flow. And you don’t need to worry about the result. Although while writing we can always review it and rewrite it again or edit it later. But we do not get such options while writing the lines of our lives that is the reason we think so much.

Beyond This World

Beyond religions, castes and genders

There is a world of humanity, nature and nobility.

Beyond boundaries, borders and lines

There is a world of unbound, freedom and without limits.

Beyond hypocrisy, show-offs and two-faces.

There is a world of truthful, honored and real’s.

Beyond this world of guns, missiles and bombs

There is a world of peace, happiness and tranquility.

Beyond yours and mine

There is a world of us and ours.

Beyond this world of no ones

There is a world of everyone.

Let’s conquer that world

One day, together?

PS: Happy Independence Day 

Skywatch Friday : Christ Church

Beautiful Christ Church of Shimla, Himachal Pradesh

This is one of the oldest churches in North India and certainly has become identity of Shimla. It is visible from far below the mountains as it is situated on the higher ones so while coming or going back you could have a look at it, only if clouds don’t come in your way. You could see it even before entering the city of hills during the day time and it looks even more beautiful with lights in night. While moving round and round on the hilly roads you can see it when you are on the one side of the mountain but not from the other side. And it makes you even more exciting when you feel that’s where you want to reach.

Love - Found and Lost

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 38; the thirty-eighth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for the month is "The Woman on Platform Number 10"

It was 4.30 pm in Sameer’s watch which someone gifted him when he was in college. He entered the New Delhi Railway Station carrying his baggage. He was traveling to Bangalore to join his new job where he is offered package in seven magical figures which everyone always dreams of, but still he was not very happy. Maybe he didn't want to leave this city as he had some special moments here with someone special and he does not want to leave those memories behind.

He walked to one of the inquiry counters to check on which platform his train is going to arrive. The station was as usually full of people, everyone was going here and there, everyone for was pushing others. Sameer never liked crowded places and he avoids going in buses and trains but for some reason, he had to travel from the train and bear all this. He inquired there about his train’s platform number and if it is on time or not. The man at the counter said, “it will arrive on platform number 8 and it is accurately on time that is 5 pm”. He got some relief that at least it is not late like usual scenarios of Indian Railways.

Then he started to walk towards the platform rolling his huge suitcase. He entered the platform number 1, reached the footover bridge grabbed his suitcase and started climbing the stairs. Just then a woman unintentionally brushed his shoulder and he was almost about to slip away but he managed to hold the grill. He was about to shout at that person, but she didn’t even bothered to stop and say sorry but walked away hastily.

He saw her from behind she was wearing black salwar-kameez and a black colored jacket and her dupatta was covering her head. But her long golden brown hairs which were gathered in a long pony could be seen, which made him remember someone from his college days – his love, his only girlfriend ever, whom he wanted to marry and she also wanted to marry him. They were madly in love with each other. 

He was surprised thinking about her seeing this girl. He started to follow her walking briskly, almost running with his huge suitcase. Until now he was not even sure whether she is her or not but somewhere deep down in his heart he was feeling she is her only. He was pushing everyone who came in the way so that he did not lose her in the crowd like he lost her 2-3 years before. He realized that she was going towards some different platform and his train was going to arrive in a few minutes. But he did not care about his train and going to Mumbai or his job because he wanted to see her, he wanted his love and life back.

He was looking her from behind and by the way of walking, he was almost sure that she is his love only. He called her name, but she did not hear, then he shouted again more loudly than before and now she heard it. She thought that she knew this voice and she stopped. She stopped there and turned looking around who was calling her.

And she saw him, her love of life who has grown into a man now who was very slim and sleek in college days now is looking muscular and strong but with same innocence on his face. She kept looking at him he was walking towards her and she almost forgot where she was going.

She was wearing a scarf on her face and he could see her eyes only, but still he recognized her. He had spent hours and days looking into those eyes then how he cannot recognize those eyes. He stopped there for a few seconds they were 100 meters away from each other, and they kept looking into each other’s eyes.

He started to walk towards her, she was still standing there and looking at him surprisingly, but she was also happy to see him. In a few seconds he was near her they were only a few centimeters apart now. The whole world has stopped there and then for them; the hustle bustle of the station did not matter to them. The announcement was being made for the arrival of the train going towards Mumbai in few minutes on platform number 8. Sameer did not hear it, he was still standing there staring in those eyes. Like his eyes were asking her’s “where the hell was you all these years? Do you know how much I searched for you? I still love you just like I used too.”

They were still silent then he spoke first “why did you do this to me? You know what I have been to all these years?” He kept asking her questions and she was standing silently in front of him listening to him talking after so many years. Her eyes have become more beautiful and deep now, but they have lost something very important, they did not have the same shine of joy and happiness. They were looking sad like they have been through a lot of pain. Even after so many years, he understood just by looking into her eyes that something wrong had happened with her. He asked her very firmly “What had happened? why are you looking so upset? Where were you all these years? Tell me?”

They were standing in the middle of the platform everyone was in a hurry, someone pushed her and her scarf fell down and he saw that her face had a big scar. He remembered how much beautiful she was during their graduation days, how much he used to adore her and her beauty.

And now seeing this scar on her face he was feeling hurt, he felt her pain. He asked caressing her face “what happened to your face?” She did not say anything. But his touch of touching her scar brought back her in present from the good old days and cutting him in the middle she said: “I am in hurry now I need to go someone is waiting for me.”

Sameer was about to say something, but she turned and started walking. He felt hurt and angry just like years before when she went away somewhere without telling anything to anyone. He started running behind her and tried to stop her, but she didn't stop. He was running so hastily that his leg slipped away and he fell down, he lost her in the crowd. He tried a lot to find her everywhere on the station, but he was unable to find her.

He started crying like a child on the station everyone was staring at him, but he did not care about anyone. He was feeling hurt and betrayed once again. It was almost like a dream for him that she came once again in her life after years when he was almost recovered from the trauma of losing her but once again he lost her without even finding her. It was 5.30 now his train has also left he started going outside the station and he did not remember to take the luggage with him which he has left somewhere while looking for her on the station.

All the while she was looking at him crying continuously from behind the washroom. She was also feeling bad for him and she wanted to go there to him but she could not. She saw him going and made sure that he went outside the station. She was feeling relieved that she got to meet for the last time. It was 5.45 pm now and the platform was even more crowded now. She came on the platform and sat on a bench.
Next Day

Sameer’s friend was watching television and he was sitting in the adjacent room still thinking about her, he was unaware of what has happened last evening at the station because he still could not believe that he lost her again he was in his own world of memories.

But then he heard the news that “yesterday a woman on platform number 10 of New Delhi Railway Station has been recognized as the suspect who blasted the bomb in the station which has caused hundreds of people injured and many dead and the number is still increasing. Her bag has been recovered from inside the ladies washroom in which contains a ladies wrist watch, and few other things related to explosives. Police confirmed that the bomber was a girl who was wearing a jacket with a bomb.”

The news channel showed the picture of wrist watch of the bomber which Sameer recognized as hers, he had gifted that watch to her in college. He was in complete shock now tears were rolling from his eyes. He could not understand what had happened and how it had happened. He could not believe that her love could be a terrorist, a bomber. He didn't believe the news channel, but he realized that he had lost her now, he will never meet her again. He was trying to understand what her eyes were saying yesterday. He thought that all this might be true but it is half truth and “truth is stranger than fiction”, he should not assume anything about her like this, he knew her better than anyone and she cannot do this.

PS: This is my first short story ever. Kindly, leave your remarks in comments to let me know how it is. :)


PPS: This is also my first entry for Blog-a-Ton. Yes, finally I made it :) I have been following Blog-a-Ton from many months but every time for some reason or other I was not able to post the entry on time and sometimes, my mind didn't give me any idea to write on the topic. That is why I don't even remember who introduced me to it because it been many months I came to know about it. :D

First Kiss

 Written for:

Three Word Wednesday

In the dark besides the lake

They sat under a tree

Rain doused the bonfire

Passionate for the love

Being there in the cove

Melting in each other’s arms

For the warmth

In the light of thunderclap

His eyes look naughtier with a shine

Cold droplets of icy rain

Touches her pale skin

They are in bliss

It is their first kiss.

Life and some blabbering ...

It’s been many years since I had decided that I will sleep early from the very next day. But even after so many years of countless resolutions and promises to myself, I am still typing this post at 2.39 am. I am feeling sleepy, tired and some backache because of this chair or because of long hours sitting on the computer. Today, I am awaked till this hour as I was doing some college project work because time is running fast and I have my internals from Monday. But nothing new in this we the college goers or may be just students of my college completes their files and all practical works only when few days are left for the exams.

A few days back our chief coordinator asked a boy in my class “How much work have you completed in your file?”

He said smilingly as everyone around him was also smiling “Ma’am, I haven’t started it yet.”

Then the teacher asked him very politely (she is one of the most polite teachers in our college but sometimes her mood changes with a blow).

“When will you start it, beta (son)?”

Very audaciously with a big smile, he said “Ma’am one day before exams our files are made always, so there is still time why worry?”, and a big laugh surrounds the whole class and our polite ma’am also started smiling. She continued again with her over politeness “why beta, complete your work as soon as possible why to delay it when you have time”.

But we never listened to their over polite blabbers and keep on doing all the things with ease in a slow process as slow as it can and always completed the work when the dates are near or when there is a stick on our head.

Though, I don’t think it is the habit of college or school students only, even our elders the most responsible ones also have this habit of delaying work. Mostly we Indians somehow inherit this habit from our ancestors. We Indians are the coolest and bindass people I guess, we can never be on time. Few minutes or hours late are a common thing in our culture or may be a habit of a large part of the Indian population. Okay, I am not cribbing about Indians. After all, I am also an Indian but still, we can’t deny this. :P

For us a clock in our life doesn’t mean anything, we hardly care about whether it is running or not. Although I won’t say that all people in India are like this, there might be many of you who are very punctual and particular about being on time and give utmost importance to the clicking of clocks. The people from Defense services are very punctual, they do all their work on time with a grace, I know this because I have been living in an area which is considered as the hub of defense people in Delhi, all from Army, Air Force, and Navy services can be seen here in the early morning heading to their offices or transit camps or whatever they call it. (Well this is not the real reason, there was a guy from Air Force who used to live in the house opposite mine and … anyway leave that, it’s a different story :P :D)

I really don’t know why I am typing all this and I advise you to read further only if you have nothing important to do because it is all crap. So I was talking about Indians being late, oh no no.. I was telling about my habit of being late. Yes, I am never on time and I think you got to be a risk taker and adventurous kind of a person to be late because you need to cross a lot of hurdles to reach the destination at the last minute. I had driven my scooty just like a bike racer in video games, to reach at the last minute in college for the practical-vivas, as my roll no. is 1 and yes, it is a curse being a roll no.1 in your class.

You have to reach the college first in practicals and go for the viva first in the class and then everyone come to you to ask what the examiner asked. And you feel like the most demanding person in the class, suddenly everyone wants to talk to you. You hear your name from every direction in class and everyone is standing around you to listen what you are saying. But still, you feel cheated (huh.. I have to tell them all the questions and they will have an idea what kind of questions he will ask). But anyway after my viva, I always feel extra happy and say “ah! Finally, it’s over”, no matter it was good or bad who gives a damn.

Okay, that’s enough of my blabbering for today.

PS:- Once in months I get out of my mind and starts typing anything silly or something not so important (you must be thinking when did I write something important, well I also doubt that .. Lol). If you have wasted your time in reading all this, then I am really thankful to you and I am overwhelmed with your idleness. Please, keep it up in future also you will make me happy. :D

Kindly, leave a comment below to let me know about all the good hearted people. After that, you can continue with your not so important work. :P
