LIFE.DREAMS.CREATIVITY.HOPE

I have a zillion childhood memories but one memory that i could never forget were that of summer and  my fixation with tearing paper ! scissors and paper were my best friends and i could go on for hours  ! ( my aunt used to often claim that it was all karma and probably i had been a tailor or had worked in a salon in my previous birth ! ) 

As i grew older , i learnt to paint and draw but with that it also dawned upon me that i cannot draw .If i did try my hand at drawing it would often resemble a modern art with no meaning ! 

Then i tried my hand at craft , it was easy ( thanks to my childhood fixation !) . i learnt to use my" creative"  brains and often made things  look good and thus i started being referred to as "CREATIVE " ! my definition of creativity got limited to crafts , dance , music and everything else which pertained to a person artistic brains or like that a person could do with ease and which didn't require any help from anyone. 

As i moved out of school , i looked at my choices for further education , i was scared. I wanted to do something that was NOT risky that assured me a job no matter what  ! i choose  like a millions  others before me ENGINEERING as i felt it was safe and  could get  a nice job and other reason being that i was scared that anything else  required creativity that i didn't possess . 

As i finished my graduate course and i got the well needed break to sit and think what i wanted to do in my life , i realized engineering wasn't my passion . Yes , it did help me have a rational and structured approach to things but i could never be a successful engineer because i wasn't interested . The four years made me realize that though i had a job that could pay me well ,  money wasn't a criteria anymore and all those days when my dad who had always talked about enjoying the job and job satisfaction came rushing back . the reality dawned on me . 

I COULD NEVER BE HAPPY UNLESS I DID SOMETHING I LOVED .

and another 

I COULD NEVER ACHIEVE ANYTHING UNTIL I TAKE RISKS.  

BUT  then again there lay another problem .creativity. Was i creative enough to switch to another field in my case , management ?would i be able to negotiate prices , market products and mange people ?

hen i talked , voiced out my concerns which i guess i had never told anyone not even  to my dad , but as i talked i realized how wrong i was . i learnt another lesson.  

SOMETIMES IN LIFE , WE HAVE TO VOICE OUT OUR OPINIONS BECAUSE SOMETIMES OUR PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS ARE VERY FAR FROM REALITY .

and 

ITS OKAY TO DO SOMETHING WRONG UNLESS YOU DON'T REPEAT IT . (i still have to get used to this one ! )

The lighting struck and i realized that every one of us are creative .Human are creative be it in any field or any job right from the beggar who changes tactics to get more money to the us ,students,who make up new reasons to not study , so are animals who adapt to the changing climate and find creative ways to protect themselves . 

Creativity is a way of life ,a part of us and our life . It is a part of everyone of us . All we need to do is believe in ourselves , give freedom to our thoughts and dreams and the rest would follow . I am firm believer in "THE SECRET "by Rhonda Byrne .I wouldn't  say that i am always positive or perfectly follow everything that is written but yes , sometime in the future i would like to see myself in that space of positivity .
 As Rhonda Byrne rightly says 

“If you’re feeling good, then you’re creating a future that’s on track with your desires. If you’re feeling bad, you’re creating a future that’s off track with your desires. As you go about your day, the law of attraction is working in every second. Everything we think and feel is creating our future. If you’re worried or in fear, then you’re bringing more of that into your life throughout the day.” 

                                                                                     ― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

CREATIVITY IS A PART OF US . BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND THE REST WOULD FOLLOW .  

I found this awesome quote by Steve jobs , couldn't resist to put it up ..

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. 

I hope someday in future we all get the passion to follow our dreams , be positive and strive hard for them and then , life could get no better !

LIFE , Friends and Fun

              In life , as we grow up ..Go to school , then college , then comes the job , then another job and then another .......we meet tons of people ..Some go on to become  acquaintances , some friends , some best friends , some foes and some well just nothing  and also we keep redefining the word " friendship " and " friends" !!              At some point of my life i felt that the number of friends you have mattered but as we grow older we realize " quality over quantity " ....today i have a handful of them to fall back on and i know come what may they have my back !! My definition of friendship has changed over the years ..i always had a bunch of people telling me how good i am , how entertaining , how i make them smile and how i can make them feel better instantly ..Then I realized  that friendship doesn't always mean telling each other how awesome you are but telling them how good people they can become , pointing out their flaws over their good ...telling them when they are behaving like bitches and bastards and make them better human beings !

Thank you for making me what i am today !! Love each one of you loads !!

    

flying without wings -- really ??!!

I turned on the television the other day and a program that captured my attention was that in a national news channel it claimed the year gone by  the " year of women " and claimed that today's woman were flying without wings ! that got me wondering - has the year gone by really been the year of woman ?? Has India's crowd changed from a male dominant society to one where woman are given equal importance ??

I guess the answer was yaa..maybe..33 % reservation in parliament ... separate queues in public places , seats reserved in public transport and all that ...but does that really make we are finally treated more than equals or at least equals  ?? i don't think so .....33% reservation in parliament but has anyone thought about all the suffering the ladies have to undergo before they get their contesting ticket from the party .... the money minded , perverted politicians make sure most of these woman politicians undergo their share of torture !! separate queues in public places ...one good thing the government introduced to at least protect the vulnerable woman from those perverts in these places who think they own the women and ass grab would be no offence !! 

seats reserved in public transport ..but can u stop anyone of the men from staring as if you were a piece of meat ?!! 

Its time we change ..time men change ..if  say get them educated and they will treat women with respect !! i ll say no ways !! education doesn't change a thing ....most of the rapist in India have graduated from many of the best colleges in India !! one thing that has to change in men their attitude !! some thing i would say is impossible  ...or lets say , now u cant change the perspective of men all over the wold can u ??!! so lets do what we can  ...a change in the punishment given to these men ...no 14 days in jail and then the bail and then decades of wait till the punishment is given !! lets have separate courts for these who have to give their judgement without a stipulated period time and the punishments should be at least a few years in jail to a death penalty !! its time we put our foot down and make the women feel safe !

The woman of today don't want  to be treated better than the men or expect more privileges than the men ...all we ask is freedom ...freedom to speak her mind and not be told to remain in our limits or maintain our lines...freedom to fight ..fight the injustice ....freedom to live without fear , freedom to fly without wings !! 

college - where else would your parents spend so much for u to have fun ??!

There are very few times when i dunno how to say it or what to talk about it ...it is just one of the tyms ..why am i scared and terrified of the REAL WORLD where life is more than just meeting a deadline for an assignment or writing the same line over and over again in the paper with all the words u ever learnt and still expect to scrape through in the exam ?!! why am i soo admant to not move on when moving on is my only option ? why am i so hesistant to go for a job that could gimme enough money to buy all the stuff i have ever resisted  buying ? why am i the THE amiable person  scared of making new friends ?

I dunno how am i gonna wake up without people banging on my room letting me know dat the bathroom doesn’t have a queue ...or when am i gonna enjoy eating Maggie as much as my midnight meal ....the fighting over u dnt msg me first or forever cribbing about how big a morons ur guys friends are .....or those birthday bumps ...the fun, the laughter, the frolic .....i just know that no matter how many years pass by ...i ll forever stuck wid these memories that can turn any bad day to my best !

The life in the last 4 years have  taught me to live , to smile through my sorrows , to laugh thru my hardships ...to cry myself to sleep when i dnt have a solution and the best part to get up in d morning and find dat my problems have  vanished into thin air ! it has transformed me from a know it all to a person who has learnt to learn from people and adapt to changes. Changes have always been kind to me and i hope the kindness continues....

The time has finally come to take a step forward into the real world and how these 4 years of how i cant wait to get outta college are finally coming to an END ! there will be tyms as we move on in life forward when we would lose touch or get too busy with life then the four years would seem a BLISS ....the will be times when  i would misplace numbers , not call u up for like ages  or tyms when i wouldn’t realise u need me coz i m too busy with life then all u have to do is whack my butt !! and tell me how bigga ass i am ! :P and then lo! Behold ! i promise to get my lazy butt on ur doorstep ! :P
