Eeps…….NOT THE CLEANSING MILK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The packing list was almost done , and dad was helping me out ( as he would be leaving in a few hours from now ). The next item on the list was soap, and oh! boy we couldn’t find even a single soap bar in the whole house !!!!!
N the last thing I see my dad picking up the bottle of cleansing milk …. N chuckling to himself saying “Ah! This will do ….”
I look at him and froze “ *damn* NO !!!!! …. DAD, That’s my cleansing milk !!!!!”
I frantically search all the cabinets , cupboards and all the silly places where I might find a single bar of soap and luckily I spot a small pearly white bar ….. I am elated and smile as I am about to pick up the bar …….



Well then, My Mom woke me up!!!!!


This is the first time ever that I am happy and not complaining about mom waking me up . The reason being , I realize it’s a dream and I will not have to put my favorite bottle of cleansing milk in dad’s luggage . :))

This morning has been beautiful for a number of reasons. First off, I look out of the window and realize it’s going to rain heavily pretty soon and I’ll have a good excuse to take a day off from work (though I haven’t , feeling guilty about taking a leave on the very first day of the week ) plus I love to sit on the window sill and watch it rain .
Second, tomorrow is ‘Raksha bandhan’ . I agree that’s not a good enough reason to be happy , but then I am the only girl on my paternal side, *smile* and that means tomorrow is my day and I get whatever I want from my cousins .


Just the other day I was coming back from work. I happened to sit beside a girl who culn’t help staring at me. * What the heck! *
The only solution I figured was to stare back at her and when I did she smiled and quickly took out a bunch of white flowers from her bag and presented it to me “ You look pretty” she said !!!!!! Man I was so ashamed I thought this girl was staring for no reason at all.
After that we had a small conversation and damn I was feeling guilty the whole time and even I wanted to give her something in return may be not for giving me a compliment but atleast for me thinking something ill about her. I dint know what to give her . After much thought I took out a black pen an gave her. Hoping she did like it .
She smiled and took out one of her notebooks and said “All my friends love my handwriting !!” Man it was so beautiful and neat , that was indeed the best thing I could have presented her.

I had to get down on the next stop . After exchanging ‘Goodbyes’ I got up thinking.
How a complete stranger had made my evening . :))

Unconditional LOVE….

“LOVE is the best, when you give the most”.

But what is love???

Is it care the mother gives to a weeping child, or is it infatuation of a teenager or is it the odes that a lover recites for his sweetheart maybe it is the longing heart which awaits the touch, caress and the warmth of it loved one.

Is it limited to only the above …. And meant to be forgotten after a grand fiesta of one whole day, in a year???

There have been poems dedicated to the lovers, actually n number of them. But, has any one ever pondered over the fact that why poems haven’t been written to describe Love.

I agree love can’t be described it can only be felt and expressed by words and sometimes by actions. Love is not that type of love that we call Romance. It is much more higher than that because Romancing can be conditional. When conditions are applied it depletes and degrades the purity of love.

If love is unconditional then why is it reserved only for the lovers????

Can’t it be for people like you and me????

Also, love dsn’t mean to loose or to possess…. Because loosing and possessing are aided by attachment; which in a way demeans the purity of love.

It is only the unconditional love that is pure. Unconditional love that is what makes you truly generous and forgiving. Has the power to heal a broken heart or transform a person completely. It is one which takes away all our attachments from the maya, and that’s when our past karmas don’t affect you.

Love can only be felt and expressed. One has to go within to feel it. One has to be immersed in it to give it.
Therefore , love is innate , it brings you joy.
Joy shouldn’t be confused with happiness. As happiness is a temporary condition which is created by the situations or the factors around us. Whereas joy is never ending (niranand as they say in Sanskrit) . It is something which comes from within you and the best thing by which you can make others feel the depth of your love.

At this I am reminded of a beautiful couplet :

“ Lali mere lal ki , jith dekhun uth lal ,
Lali dekhan mein gayi , uth mein bhi ho gayi lal”.

Love is that joy which we get in giving something to someone without expectations, without reasons.
It is only possible to give unconditionally when one is immersed in love. First off, you have to beautified by its presence , surrounded by it , submerged in it.

Once the unconditional love is established within ourselves it’s only then that one can purely love and can say that ‘I AM IN LOVE’.

Unexpected Solutions

You must have noticed .... sometimes things just fall in place , surprisingly seem as if they were just meant to be ... jus how perfect they sound .

As you have read the previous posts where moi describes about her fears and her biggest fear ' the fear of change '.
I still know not of anyone who can overcome this fear except me.
The only solution that i foresee is to take charge , overcome the fear and change according to the change .
This was told to me by my fren J. Unknowingly he has given me the solution as if it was told to me cuz it meant only for me.

thanks J . thanks a ton!!!!

I feel elated having found the last missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle called LIFE .... which makes much sense today....

These are just some of the images from Dharamshala school.
The first snap is of the junior section and the second one of the senior section which leads to the valley (on the backside).
Behind the buildings (in both the pics ) you can see the mountain peaks (this is the dauladhar range) covered with snow . They remain so for almost the whole year except the first three months of the year where there's heavy snowfall which even covers both the sections of the school entirely !!!
Around the spring time (march an april) one can see some really beautiful and rare flowers . After all the himalayas are also known for their wide variety of flora and fauna.
Staying in himachal has been experience of a lifetime which i shall cherish ALWAYS .

Here's a song composed by one of the parents for the place 'talnoo' and the school.

And...
this one went dancing to work and to play,
out to make oceans , night , time and day .
out to make mountains and valleys and fun ,
out in the world where our life had begun .

In all of his beloved world he had
his favoraite place where he felt the most glad
and after his work and his play he would go
upto the lovely pure Himalaya Snow.

Dancing his dance in the chaitanya cool...
upto the sweet talnoo Sahaja yoga school.

Change ….

It’s surprising how we get used to even the smallest and the simplest things in life.
Like …
The 9.07AM train that you take to work everyday …
Your morning cup of tea….
The column of the news paper that you read everyday…
The manner in which you do a particular thing …
Though the dissatisfying and discontented feeling that you get when you have missed out on those things is overwhelming ….

They say that change is inevitable and you have the choice to dislike it or accept it with open arms, but it’s not always that we can do things like the way we do them as you might be forced to change, knowingly or unknowingly.
At times more than change it is the FEAR of change which bothers you, haunts you and is much more viscous than change itself.

There are things that you cherish, enjoy and love when they happen …..
But…
You know they are going to change maybe cuz of some mistakes you have made in this learning process.

This fear I carry and I know not of anyone who can stop it from happening ….
