7) I genuinely like listening to someone who wants to talk... not because I want to gossip about it but because I will be happy if I can use my experiences to help enlighten a situation.

8) I have a very bad face memory... so if I do not see you for a while and happen to ignore you when I see you next.. it just means I have forgotten your face!!!! Please don't misunderstand!!

परतून यावे सोळावे वर्ष
परतून यावे ते दिवस
मानसिकता राहावी अशी
की झकोळून जावी ही आवस.

स्वप्न पडावीत तशीच निरागस
आकाश वाटावे तितकेच ताजे
सगळी कटुता विसरून जाऊन
जग पुन्हा व्हावे माझे.

पण यावेळी ती चूक
मी पुन्हा करणार नाही
आयुष्याला परत एकदा
गृहीत धरणार नाही.

तीच माणसे, त्याच घटना,
द्रूष्टिकोनही तोच हवा,
माझ्याकडून मात्र आपुलकिचा
थोडा अधिक वर्षाव व्हावा.

समजून घेईन यावेळी सगळ्यांना,
समजून घेईन सगळेच अर्थ
एकही व्यक्ती, एकही संधी,
मी जाऊन देणार नाही व्यर्थ.

Coming-out-of-the-cocoon Effect!!!

Wow.. irregularity in my blog writing has reached its peak in this last year. Well, I would like to believe I was too busy.. :P and really I was!! I have started writing, but I don't really know, what I want to write about today. After reading my older posts, I feel like a butterfly now... stop giggling.. I am talking about coming-out-of-the-cocoon effect!!

I don't want to brag, but one can't stop being much more confident after having done so many things in a few months time. So thats my secret, I have come out of the cocoon that was created by my stupid self. Seriously all inhibitions, all limits, all incapabilities are usually self-created. And one day or the other life makes you come out of it.. it should, because then, sky is the limit and you find ways to do anything you want to. I remember those days back in India, when I wanted to but never gathered courage to join college dance group... because I told myself that 'you have no dance training, so you won't be able to dance like others'. Thats a cocoon of my own thoughts. It was an accident, I am thankful of.. that Sudhu saw me dancing once and we instantly hit it off as dancing buddies. Now that I have come out the bubble it feels great to be a part of a choreography or even just the thought process of creating a dance performance.

Circumstances are most of the times going to be against your will, but fighting them back and achieving something is fun. Its like pushing the limits everytime you do something. Its like juggling... first you start with 2 rings, once you master it pick up the third one, then fourth and keep picking up till you think you have tested yourself enough.

So thought of the day: Opportunities will come knocking if you create a door first!!

Hmm another dose of gyan.. but I am happy to have finally written something on blog. Thanks Swarup for nagging constantly, due to which I wrote this stuff down. Good or not.. who cares.. this is where my mind wanted to take me at the moment!!!
