Spring amidst the Winter...

After days of scorching sun, exhausting every inch of energy, the Winter appears before me. All these times the days have been tiring and seemed lifeless. I expected Winter to be my friend, for it brings a season of fun and cherish.
            The month of October starts with slow tides in the air, a change in the fragrance of the breeze. I keep marching ahead between the bushes and trees that appear to be coming to life again. It did look like something is waiting ahead for me to reach. The month of November brought the surprise around. By the time it ends, a life seemed to sprout. In the form of a smiling face and eyes that swallow oneself. A couple of times it waves here and there but I wonder when would I splash again the tide. Waiting for the right time to come and at least it did arrive. Though it was just hours of being together as strangers, it was way no less than being happy to see her around.
            The month of December arrives with lots of reasons to be joyous about. When the world will celebrate for a reason, the reason being the birth of Christ Jesus, I seek another reason myself to celebrate about. I am willing to walk into her life but there is a fear. A fear that nothing goes wrong and lose her. She has these eyes that give life into me. The way she looks into one's eyes are hypnotizing. I did see a life in a small shell being playing around that I want to capture. It could take me somewhere I wished to be lost about.
All this feeling and experience are like a Spring amidst this Winter. I pray it doesn't end and keeps on walking by my side in the forthcoming seasons and times. I wish to keep marching ahead even if my legs are in pain. I wish I do get to hold her hand and look into her eyes and smile with the feeling that I own her.

Cute Little Fairy Tale

In a small peaceful kingdom there lived a King called Midian who had a daughter, a  small princess. She was named Bebo after their goddess of Love but Bebo had no siblings or close friends to play or enjoy with. So the King and Queen gave everything the princess wished. The little princess was loved by all in the Kingdom. When she was 21 the King wished to get her married but our little Bebo would not agree. One day on a trip to a nearby friendly kingdom named Bestletow along with her father, the princess met a prince, a man of her dreams and fell in love with him. He was the popular prince of the decade and he was called Sultan. Days went and their love grew. One fine day our fine princess Bebo told the Queen about her love and indeed they were all happy to hear and get her married. 
      Soon peace was challenged in the Kingdoms nearby and all Kings and soldiers joined together to fight against a cruel ruler who was progressing against them. The princess' love Sultan could not stay back and joined the Midian's army. For days and days went by and the kings, princes and soldiers did not return. The princess grew tired waiting. One day near the garden she met the young son of a poor farmer named David. The princess wanted to play and  asked him to entertain. The poor boy was a musician. He took her to all beautiful places of the kingdom she never had seen and sang along for hours and hours. He kept singing until his nose started to bleed. The princess saw this and stopped him from singing the moment henceforth. But the princess grew happier as days went by. She spent hours every day and loved his company. She took him wherever she went and he was like a puppet in her hands. 
              One day she says to the poor farmer's boy that had not Sultan come in her life first she would have definitely married him. He said if she truly loves him then no hunger can kill them. He promised the princess that he would do whatever he can to keep her happy. But the princess was confused and afraid. She suggested him that the court officials suspect her and told him to leave the Kingdom. The poor farmer's boy sets out of the village to do something. He felt perhaps if he grew as a warrior the King would be proud and happy and give him a chance to prove that he is worthy. The boy went to a very old and skilled master of the age. He took every challenge to be his student and successfully passed all the tests. After 6 months of training the boy was all set to fight with his kingdom's army. He travelled back to kingdom with lots of expectations wondering the King would give him a chance to prove himself. 
              The day came when he reached his Kingdom by the gates when he saw it was all embellished . There were music and joy in the air. As the boy walked through the streets he found the people rejoicing as if it was a festival. As he stood near the gates he watched the princess was getting married to the Sultan. David had made it late. The poor David was silent and shocked. He could not utter a word. People were carrying the Princess on their shoulders back to the Sultan's province. While she passed David, he kneeled and requested to have a word with her. She did not recognize and asked his identity. He said "I am a man born with no powers or wealth and I was asked to dream to be something which I never wished. What purpose does remain when God showed me a dream through the eyes of my love but now has been taken away?". The princess had no replies as she now recognized who he was. She left with no replies and never ever met him in life.  The young boy left the Kingdom with no hopes and purpose to live but he learned something. 
               Dreams are sometimes better to be dreams and be worthy of making it a reality. 

Winning hearts is not that easy....

On 27th of September 2013, it turned out to be different. Not as planned and still heart winning.
It all started more than 2 weeks earlier when I, Jeswin and Tejas were discussing on what songs to sing on Annual day of Ernst & Young GSS Kerala. We did it well. We selected the songs like Pehla Nasha, Nila Nila ( a south Indian melody), Dil se, Pani da (one of my favorites) and Malare Malare (another south Indian hit melody).
     Our group comprised of four female singers and 3 male singers. We had a keyboard, guitar and drums. Devi, Irene, Litty, Jeeja were the female singers. Tejas, myself and Jeswin were the male singers. For 2 weeks we had lots of practice. During these practices we built up confidence and synchronized with each other. We got to know each other more. Then came the day of the screening. We sang, the people around loved it but later many criticisms sprang up. Hearing all this we were literally down. Our confidence built had now fallen. At some point we thought we would not make it.
    A night came. We were in our office as usual for practice. It was past 9 pm and it was time for our dinner. We went to a nearby hotel. It turned out to be the silence breaker. After dinner when we were coming back, Jeswin flew his car. We were yelling and shouting with fun. Something magical happened. That moment onwards we turned lively, it was all smiles till the day of the showdown.
    The biggest nightmare was coming ahead in our journey. It was 27th September morning. We reached the Al Saj convention center around noon. We had our stage rehearsal and we were cool we do it. Everything was in place but yeah, not really everything. I was supposed to play a semi-acoustic guitar and that would be shared from another guy. He was in another group and those guys left the place after their rehearsal. Our program was planned at 6:30pm. I called him and they were 20 miles away from the city. I knew they would not make it. My team started to get nervous. What next?? Tejas then said "we have come this far and we are not turning back!!" Luckily Jeswin had my acoustic guitar in his car. We decided that it is now do or die.
    It is 6:30pm and the announcement takes place. I walk on the stage with my own guitar. We walk and take our place. All set! One .. two.. three... here we go.......

We Rocked !!!! 

Will you wait or keep moving on?

In movies we see this, where the hero or heroine has left their loved one in loneliness and sometimes they even make promise to return. This is just easy in the movies. In the reel life, patience of waiting for the loved one ends in just hours but what about in real life. It is not that real easy.
Your life is one. You do not take birth again. You come and you go. That never repeats. So why wait for someone instead? Keep moving on and on and on... If it is your loved one that keeps you waiting then he/she would not keep you waiting. Your truly loved one would never want you keep waiting.
Things around us are changing in high velocity, not speed though. In this change memories always play their dirty act and will pull you back but it is you, you have to keep moving. You have to tell yourself that there is no waiting and there is no looking back.

When life gives you one more chance

Is it some supernatural power like God or some conincidence, sometimes you just realize that you have got another chance to live. What would you make of this opportunity? The way we take it up will show what kind of a person are we.
Sometimes there is a point when you find that your life could be much better and taking some hard steps will make life more simpler and safe. The words 'Simpler' and 'Safe' would signify lot of things and is applicable in every aspect of love, life and work.
At this point it becomes very important that you ask yourself "What do you really want?"
Sometimes God just brings and places at your footstep everything that you had ever wished for. A healthy life, a good loving partner or a nothing@ risk job. If that is what you ever really wished for then you know what you need to do at that point and there is no turning back after the next step you take, it would not return.

Somebody's Me of Enrique

This song originally is sung by Enrique Iglesias in his album Insomniac. This song describes the feelings and beautifully mentions how special that person is who has just left him/her. 

When you have to choose between dreams and reality

Just a couple of days back I said you should let yourself dream even if it is day or night. Moving ahead, what if you have to choose between dreams and reality? Well if you ask me then that is really difficult to answer.

The best answer I feel would be "Chase dreams and live the reality". This would be a process where you would be on the purge of living a life without guilty or regret. Make this your every day motto. Ask yourself where have you reached and what you need to achieve. When you are in the hunt many things might come past your way that will try to magnet your focus away from the path. You know what all it can be right?

So, you do not have to choose between your dream and your reality. Live with passion and execute everything with discipline. Soon your dream is all going to be yours.

Best of luck to my readers and myself ;)

Promises are made to be broken..

It was during our school days when we were electing the captains and vice-captains and leaders. One of my childhood friends had nominated herself for the post of vice-captain. She stood in front of us and I remember her saying this, for the first time I heard it, "Promises are made to be broken..." That sounded pretty much confusing and ambitious from her mouth and I didn't know that one day I am gonna realize what it really meant.

It is easy to say out something but equally difficult to follow them. At certain situation with certain people you make promises or take an oath. Think before you do this. For the words you say are not coming from someone else but born in you. At the time when we make a promise, it may sound fruitful or pleasing but it changes itself into far more torturing when it is broken. Certain promises are stringed to your heart of which your sometimes your loved one makes but do you really mean it when you say it out? The answer is we really don't know because we are always uncertain of the future perhaps what is to come so always keep yourself away from making promises , rather I would say false promises and if possible do not let anyone around you make them especially if it threads with you.

For true promises are not just promises , they are 'Will'
For false promises are not promises, they are 'Submission to fate'......

Dream big to live big

Some people say do not dream when it is a day. Well are dreams only meant for the night? Why? I would say dream whenever you can , not just by the night but also by the day. Not everyone of us of dream to be rich, some of us do dream to possess some things. Let's not just blame the Fate for this. It is reality. Well if we could possess everything we wished then why are we humans. :) But yeah there are certain things which one can possess and to a certain extent such things come out of dreams. Lovely ! Isn't it?
     I dream of better house , not the best! I dream of a good girl, not the best! I dream of better status, not the best! :)  All the way till you reach there, there are challenges. It is not impossible but certainly we can. The only thing we need to keep in mind , "I should be at my best" which requires one to be positive minded and strong willed.
    Let God be the architect but you have to be the builder. The plan for you is already there but make sure you choose the right things. We do not think while we sleep right? So I say, dream is the process of imaginative thinking while you are asleep. Well now if you can think when you are awake, why limit oneself from dreaming during the day. Aha! not surely when you are in progression of your work where you are running short of time submitting your deliverable or in the middle of meeting where your response / input is required. So at the end make it out the best time when you can really dream.

Have a nice day!! 

A beautiful birthday gift

My birthday falls on 30th of January and God gifted me with the best gift I can have. It was the wedding of my only sister. For such a long time I had been waiting to witness this moment where another guy holds her hand and would promise to be with her for the rest of her life.

It is a big responsibility for a brother to find a suitable groom who would really accept his sister and above all this God's grace is the most essential. For more than 1.5 years my mother has cried for my sister's marriage and lot of challenges had arose and finally at such a perfect time it happens. I got to learn many things when I recollect the gone days.

You aren't going anywhere until your destiny meets you. The road to your destiny is already there but it is upon us how we travel it. Well this itself has many interpretations but I would take it the simplest way. :)
Secondly, you won't achieve anything if you are not patient and willing to accept what God has planned for you. For God loves everyone of us and He would not forsake His children.

And when World says to Give Up, hope says Try it One More Time...

Strength in solitude

Be happy with what you got,
For happiness is a time-bound expression,
Spread love among everyone,
As its richness is not enjoyed in isolation.

Love as much as you can,
Though love might not be your own,
Be true to the words you speak,
For the words are not other's but in you is born.

Smile all the way you can,
You have nothing in it to lose.
Embrace smile over tears,
Keep it always as a one way truce.

Its Christmas again!!!

It is told Christmas is not a festival but a season because it brings joy, happiness and something to cheer about without a cause. From believers to non-believers, from poor to richest, young to old, people love celebrating Christmas.

I wish everyone who looks unto Christmas as a time to be closer to Jesus get what they want unlike me who lost what I really wanted. But I am closer to God. Waiting for the days when I would be physically gone.
