A walk with a stranger


A walk with a stranger


I am a kind of person who has been guyzoned, sometimes desired, a lot of times proposed and a lot of times told that I must change my way of living..my behaviour because it can send wrong signals. Well we can never alter our basic nature and my basic nature is super frank, friendly a bit helpful and well.. I carry my smile everywhere I go.. (ha ha that is me for you :P)

Strange life..we walk with strangers and become friends and we walk away from friends and become stranger.

I met him with all my enthusiasm , a stranger .I was thrilled..excited .. happy in a different way. We had only spoken on phone and yet I felt connected. Meeting could have changed it all.. and well it did. That meeting with the stranger was perfect and happiest moment of my life..

I was walking and someone asked me the way... I din't look I was typing some message all I said was. "Come"..and kept on walking..He followed..Once my messaging work was over I looked at him. I thought he was young and fit enough to match my pace. He thought I belonged to that place..Well he was wrong its just I am an explorer and that is the reason I knew all the routes.. As we started talking it came out that he was suppose to meet someone and he was from mumbai. He asked me what I did and I told him , in haphazard manner that I write and do social media marketing. Then it was my turn to ask..I was surprised..the guy was a Tech Architect had 14yrs of experience in IT industry and was doing business since past two years!! Suddenly I realised that his breath was catching , yes he was a bit old to walk at that pace and I slowed down.. In the end we shook hands and he said I was a lively, fun person and well 'God Bless You'..

From there I was again to meet some stranger..who was going to be way different than the above two.. Again it was good. A little chat and exchange of ideas is always fun.. (Great minds discuss ideas they say :P)

Life is all about meeting strange opportunities, strange conditions, strange people and a lot of strange things not all of them make you happy .. not all of them make you smile.. Strangely some unexpected stranger can change it all and the strangeness vanishes.. Strange but true!

How has been your meeting with strangers??  <let me be clear stranger is not equal to a blind date!!!>

P.S : Meet strangers at your own risk.. I too am one :))

Cheers!!!

Romance in the air??


Sometimes you just feel Happiness surrounding and the romance in the air. Recently I read somewhere that you cannot spell R-O-M-A-N-C-T-I-C with out a M-A-N.. Funny I thought:):)

When we are kids we know nothing about what exactly this feeling is. With time we learn. MTFL>> My true first love.. may be true for some and not for others but with the course of time we meet many people and have different feelings about them. Some feelings that we suppress and some that we express.

I still remember my first crush!! Derek o'brien !! One brainy still good looking guy who hosted Bournvita quiz contest. This was followed by Ajay Jadeja, Milind soman, Arjun Rampal, Bhaichung Bhutia, someone from school and some neighbour and brother's friend and so on:) Initially it is sweet, you smile , you blush and have that adrenaline gush...its just beautiful and then with time it either goes or increases. If it goes well and good but if it stays complications begin. Then you check whether it is mutual or not and if it is then would you like to take it forward or not and if you take it forward and things become serious how long will they go on etc etc counts:)

But still feeling that romance in the air is an amazing feeling. Today I have nothing more to say.

Romance is good when it makes you glow, don't waste your time in relationships that make you feel low. - Sam

May favorite line : Hey I know you, I have walked with you in my dreams :)

A song which has stung me and is making me smile again and again...


" O boy O boy you have made me mad
I am love head over heels all over again
Expressing the feelings is hard and yes I am afraid
But I want to hold your hand and walk in the rain
Why don't you feel it and take the lead instead
Ask me out and make me smile and release my pain "
-  Sam


My Romance board : Love You Forever





Have you felt that gush,  that romance in the air for no reason? Something which made you smile still you couldn't figure out what...:):)
That is an amazing feeling, trust me!!

Cheers!!!

Finding your inner-self




MY 10 days in silence!!


For all who know me might be surprised seeing the title. 10 days in silence!! This girl can't stay mum for  minute.. Yes, I love talking and singing and even jumping but once I had a chance to stay silent for 10 days and those 10 days changed a lot.

Depression comes in without knocking and sometimes its right there inside you feeding on you, growing on you and trying to crack the walls of your belief and break you. But those who can heal the cracks and paint their souls again are the winners..

I had just completed my class 12th and had a lot of free time in hand before the results. I decided to go and attend a Vipashyana camp. I was hoping to go there since class 6 and finally I had a chance! So I called them up, reserved my seat, packed my bags and was ready to go out alone without a cell phone or a book or any cosmetic or even a diary or eatables. When I reached there I got a chance to talk to few others who like me were ready to explore their inner-self..and then *poof* our speaking rights were taken along with all the valuables and money! Thus began a new journey.

The days passed in meditation and a strict routine. Initially it was okay but then it started becoming difficult. For how long can you chat with yourself after all. I even slept off in one specific dark room meditation. (Well you are alone in a dark room, you have a mattress, how can you resist that temptation) Whenever I use to see anyone else I would fold my arms and smile and they would reciprocate. All this and no dinner!

There were moments when I wanted to run away, there were nights I could not sleep, there was time I said , "I don't want to eat this food"..But then there were moments when I feel peace, I could feel change and I could feel the happiness everywhere:):)

I dint realize that 10 days passed so quickly. I had learned a lot and even though I had not spoken with the people there, there was strong connection and we cried when we exchanged good byes.

What did I learn :

  • See, feel but do not react. 
  • Send the positive vibes to each and everyone you know and they will come back to you. 
  • Anger is not the solution nor is it avoidable every time but take a deep breath and answer "Is it worth it?"
  • We are born every sec as a tissue in us dies and new is formed.
  • We have chance to change from the moment we want to.
  • The power to change is within.


Love.Peace.Happiness

If you want to know anything more about the meditation or my stay at this camp, I would love to answer:)

Cheers!!

Keylogger for windows


Keylogger  builds a log of all the keys we press on our keyboard. This log can later be reviewed to keep a check on the activities happening on a particular system. The bright side is that it can help in trouble shooting and analyzing employee productivity etc but on the darker side it can be used to hack someone's account for personal gains. Sounds horrible, doesn't it? But it can be helpful in knowing that what happens on your system behind your back and monitoring your system when you have kids is a good idea because we want them to be safe. A keylogger can be a hardware or a software.

Here is a list of keyloogers you can use according to your needs.

1. Family keylogger

It is invisible and works in the background recording every keystroke a user makes. It also tracks the launch of applications, sent e-mails and visited websites. It is small in size and is for low system requirements. In case the system is not responding it is capable of removing itself from the task list. Is is a little file with many possibilities.


















2. Light keylogger

It works on Windows, Vista and XP. It can run on stealth mode and hence it is undetectable. Multi-lingual support lets you use it in any of the 6 languages like English, Spanish, Italian, French, Deutsch or Portuguese. It can also save screen captures in intervals you select along with monitoring of applications being used.




3. IwantSoft's Free Keylogger

As the name suggests it is free :) It can track and record keystrokes, clipboard activity, and Net surfing on individual PCs or networks (with administrative access). Report for activity on any day can be generated by clicking on date and other specifications. There is no 'help' option available in this software so you might need to use the information on internet to use it.


4. Revealer Keylogger

I has a simple interface and records the keystrokes and other activities in txt format. It does not store snapshots but can log any language. It can be seen active on the task managers.


5. All in one keylogger

This is an all-in-one spy program. It intercepts everything entered from keyboard and monitors internet navigation. It also scans windows clipboards for changes and monitors the screen. It consumes less system resources and is invisible.




Do you use a keylogger? Do you think using a keylogger is a good option for monitoring the activities on your system while you are away? We would love to know about other keyloggers from you!

6 steps to happiness


Happiness is not just state of mind, it is state of heart and soul

1. Create : You saw that DIY on pinterest, or on a blog or anywhere.. you liked it? Try it..The outcome might not be as beautiful as the picture you saw but this will definitely give you sense of achievement..and a smile. And if it turns out good, that is a bonus! Share it with others, share your smile and you will be happy.

There is nothing wrong in trying :)
2. Socialize : Yes, in today's world we all do it. But the key is to socialize with right people, full of life, positivity and that glow will makes us glow too. My mother always told me if you want to feel good,  be with positive people. When I say socialize, I do not mean only on networking sites. Go out, meet people, connect, share and most importantly observe and listen.
A sweet poem about friend : A friend, an angel by @Arpitaappu

F.R.I.E.N.D.S
3. Gift yourself a little something once in a while : It can be a holiday, a spa treatment, a nice meal at your favorite food joint or just an ice cream. The size or gift does not matter, the important thing is it should give you that #FeelGood factor.

Sweet Pleasure
4. Walk : Or better walk in the rain:) Walking calms you, it fights depression and makes you healthy too. Here is my pinterest board of "Lets walk".. You will feel happy by looking at the photos too:)
Photograph by urban prairie

5. Look at old photographs : Photographs are the happy moments that we capture and looking at them reminds us of that happiness. Maybe it will tempt you to call an old friend and here you go : happiness multiplied :)

1yr old Me :)
5. Do not stop yourself from expressing good feelings : Feel like singing: sing, feel like jumping: jump, dance, laugh, scream your joy out. We hardly think before expressing our anger then why should we think before expressing our happiness? Things need to be other way round. Sometimes the place might not permit you to express freely at that time just text your happiness to a loved one.

Sometimes happiness is right outside your window, you just need to look out:)




So what makes you happy?


Cheers to beautiful life:)

Chain Reaction Of Love


I looked at you and you looked at me

This was the beginning of an action

I winked at you with both my eyes..

You did the same in reaction..

Then I smiled and you smiled back..

Started the chain reaction..

I moved a step and you too did..

The distance reduced by a fraction..

We met, we talked and you gave me a chocolate..

The chocolate got my attention..

I brought one more the next time we met..

and then you did same , another chain reaction..

We kept on meeting..We kept on eating..

Catalysing the reaction..

The reaction is still going strong..

and so is the heat liberation..

May it be so forever and ever..

A beautiful chain reaction..

Blue hue

Beyond the tress
Above the sky
High very high
Even beyond the point your eyes can see
Is the origin , the source
The place from where we fell
The place where it was decided
that you and me
someday
is going to be 'We"

A lot about wine


My first glass of Sparkling Wine



I read somewhere that if I collaborate all the tweets about one topic in a day I can write a book in a day! Of course I am not going to write a book but here I want to give some useful information.

Understanding wine in one post is definitely impossible. It involves lots of trial and error and finally success.

First of all I am thankful to @smqueue
 for the tweet "3 Ways to View Your Old Tweets" which allowed me to check out my old posts about wine!




Of course until you do not try some you will never know what is good and what is bad. But then again the first question that bothers us is "Can I invest a lot of money in buying a wine when I do not have any idea on how to choose?"


Reflection on the Wine Glass
How to choose the best wine : Choosing the best win is one of the most difficult task. You need to understand your choice as well as what is good and you need to buy something which is the combination of both. This won't be an easy task but once you master this you will be happy to sip some fine wine and draw pleasure from it.


Top 5 Red Wines for Spring :  Its spring and how wonderful will it be if someone could suggest you the names of the wines perfect for the season? Check out the list!


How about a Wine Tour of India?  Nandi hills & Nashik are the best places to have a fine wine tour in India:)

Karma returns


Actions have power of making someone
All good things are washed away with just on bad

When what you have you value not
After a while about you no one gives a thought

You are gifted with beauty around you to admire
Its all yours and with all this you have to build your empire

Do things right because your actions matter
Don't do things about which you might regret later

Deeds of today will bring result tomorrow
If done wrong they will bring just sorrow

Now is the time to do things right
Things done today might save tomorrow's fight

Karma return, what you sow you reap
If you deliberately do wrongs you will be in trouble deep.

                                                        Cheers to beautiful life!!

5 People who made me love twitter




I am relatively new on twitter. Though I had created my account in 2009, I actually started using it about 2 months back. As they say necessity is the mother of invention, I was told to explore twitter for social media marketing by my CEO.
When I came in I was looking for methods of gaining followers and promoting a brand but it took me very less amount of time to understand that is not how twitter works. Its never about gaining followers, it is about connecting to people, reading and understanding, sharing and thus growing as a person.

At first the only people I followed on twitter were the ones I knew from college or school and I discovered they were not so active. No one ever re-tweeted or even mentioned and so it felt like I was talking to the still air (oh yes because even wind makes some noise).

Then I started following . I know him through a small professional network site I work for TooStep.com. He is one of the best contributor to the site and brings smiles to the face of fellow professionals along with sharing knowledge. This guy re-tweeted, favorites and gave mentions. He re-tweeted stuff shared by  so frequently that I became her fan(Yes fan is the word) and so I followed her.

If you follow  religiously you will find so many tips about using social media, links to so many awesome blogs and lots of inspiration as well as pinspiration. When I saw the number of people following her I was surprised at first but then if you follow her you just know why is that number so high.

I was virtually introduced to  in one such link by AnnTran along with a few others. In Twitter powerhouses series  he writes about fellow tweeps (everyone mentioned in the series is a source of inspiration so you can follow them if you feel like). It shows how a person has taken time out to understand people he met in the virtual world of twitter and how he managed to connect with everyone. 



Along with that I started using # tag and tweeted about the on going trends and there I met . He is the first person out of my friend circle or people I know who followed me first and I followed back. (Otherwise it was mostly me following people and some of them following back)A rocking guy I must say. He like me feels like he is talking in air when he does not get mentions. Same pinch !!  rocks for his courteous behavior, willingness to reply tweets and enthusiasm he shows when we share stuff with him. 

Through  I met @Arpitaappu who again is a fun loving girl and is in same profession as me . She writes wonderful poems and tries to connect with everyone by mentioning them. Three of us always have a nice time having a little chit chat almost every day which is very refreshing. I see this friendship going a long way. As we stay in the same city we might plan to meet up and have some good time soon. (See its not just virtual you can meet your twitter friends if you want to)


In short when I had joined twitter for the first time I knew nothing about this little universe inside my computer and it bored me but when I came back I met so many interesting people who are willing to share their experience, knowledge and help people around them . These are the people who have made me feel good, who have exposed me to so many good blogs, links and those awesome breath-taking pictures. I am thankful to you all for being there to make me realize that I am not talking in air and I should stay and enjoy twitter:)
Of course there are many more of them out there.. I would love to introduce them in my next blog. Till then cheers to beautiful life.

Edited****

I met  @Arpitaappu  and @In_theBRAT and it was amazing :)

Better half is detachable for a reason


I believe there is nothing called small town mentality. Its all within you and your thoughts define you better than the place you live, the city you belong or the country you are from. I have noticed that there is typical behavioral pattern of couples which leads them to a path of destroying each other's individual existence.

Sacrifice: Ah the word which makes some people jump off the seat shouting 'its my life I wont ever sacrifice' and then making others do it. There is no way in which a lot of sacrifices can make a beautiful and strong relationship. But when I say don't expect a guy to leave all his friends for you and don't do the same thing yourself half of you will agree that this really does not happen. Some people are not even comfortable with the thought of spouse-not-sacrificing. If you are one of them you are never going to be happy. When you give space you get space. Or if that is not good enough five double the space you will get back at least half and while you do that understand you are giving space at your will and you would not brag on how hard it was for you to do so. Do what makes you feel happy.


Love you conditionally : There are many couple who follow this statement. You should wear this you should do that, you should come with me etc. The one who puts forth the conditions will feel bad one day and the one who keeps on obeying the rules will explode one day and the end would be really horrible. Be clear in you mind about what you want and can you get that or not. Don't let the conditions suck away all the nectar from the relationship.

Always remember there are more people in this world except you two. Life will be monotonous if you do not go out with your friends, if you do not spend some time without each other and drag each other into every thing you do.

Understand if you can watch your favorite shows your better-half can too. If you have friends your spouse will have too. If you socialize with colleagues the other-half will. No one can stop no one from using social networks and no one can stop no one from attending solo-functions. If you do not understand this you might never taste the sweetness of life fully.

First love yourself , be happy with yourself and set your love free. This will make you the #happy bird...

Better half is detachable for a reason:)

Smile!


When you are walking tall 
Suddenly have a broken sole
You don't need to limp
You don't need to stop
Just be natural , take the shoes in hand..
Walk with bare feet
Take a feel of land..

Then smile and smile and feel the light
Then smile and smile and feel you are the light

When you have a date
And you realise you are dumped
Don't feel bad or cry
There is always a table for one
Date with yourself
Pamper your inner self..
There is lot of beauty and shine..
Just look into your heart 
and get that feeling divine..

Then smile and smile and feel the light
Then smile and smile and feel you are the light

When your heartbroken
When things just don't go right
Feel the rhythm in it
Tap your feet and feel alive
There is no Power in the world:
More powerful than you..
When you will realise this
Your life will take turn new..

Then smile and smile and feel the light
Then smile and smile and feel you are the light 

So Smile and smile and feel the light
So smile and smile and feel alright
so smile and smile and spread that smile..
So smile and smile and you will become that light
The light which will makes others day bright..
- SAM

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL...

The girl-boy thing


Hi!

I know I have not posted anything since a long long time but any excuse is not going to be good. I was lazy and now once again I am here to share something.

Relationships are complicated and I know no one can understand them completely but who said we actually need to understand them?

I am a life coach but that does not mean I will be guiding you on 'How to have a successful girl-boy relationship'

Oh yes I said 'girl-boy' and not a love affair..

Many might think I am writing from my experience but you will never know;)

Just Friends : A famous Hindi movie dialogue goes 'Ek ladka aur ek ladki kabhi dost nahi ho sakte' (A guy and a girl can never be just friends) and even though we ignore this almost every time one of the two tends to cross the line.

What to do when this happens: Things may or may not be the same once this has happened but still ask yourself these questions..

1) Can there be really something between us?
2) Should I give it a shot?

You might think this is an insane advise but duh you should really consider because there is a spark and life is about taking chances. It might not work but then everyone is going to move on.

Now if your answer to both these question is NO. Don't worry you have been wise and you know what is right for you. Now if the other person still wants to be your friend try to be 'you' and things will be fine.


What is you are the one who likes his/her friend?!!!!

Okay Okay so there is a possibility of this too and hell don't feel as if you are screwed... Let that person read my blog and ask him/her to consider the part one of this post:P Okay again kidding.. but you may still take a shot:))

Ah, so now it is you who likes someone and that someone happens to be you buddy.

Now lets consider you have not expressed the feelings.

In this case its going to be simple. Just wait and things will fall into right place.

If you have blabbered what you feel..its going to be awkward.. for both of you.

Now all you can do is answer the following questions:

!) Am I satisfied that I told him/her and now I know the fact and I can move on?
2) Can we be just friends?

If your answer is yes good you just need some time.. If your answer is no then WAKE-UP or just shoot me a mail with your problem!!

There is nothing wrong in falling in love with a friend... there is nothing wrong in falling in love and there is nothing wrong in falling in love again and again...

Its all normal...

The most important thing is to love yourself and be faithful to your heart...

I Quit!

I know this title sounds very negative. But sometimes that is how we feel. Well I am not sharing my life here right now but yes I will show a different side of me here.
All the friends who know me know that I laugh like some mad 4 year old English boy and I don't even think before singing anywhere I am. I love to be photographed and I love so many people around me. But is that all I am?
Anyways how does that matter.. As I said we are not going discuss about me.
'I Quit' comes only when you have tried hard and have been through a lot something which only you can understand and trust me NO ONE IN THE WORLD IS GOING TO UNDERSTAND that.
When a person quits he becomes a quitter, a looser.

Soon to be 24 and few things I know for sure



Soon to be 24 means 2 days to go and I will be a year older. We spend our lives understanding ourselves along with understanding the world. We understand somethings very early while others take time and still no one knows if a person is able to understand herself completely before reaching the final destination.

So far I have understood a few definite things about me.

1. I dislike people who make chewing noise while they eat.
2. I hate people who pass comments on some one's dressing or come and give unsolicited advice (Except the people from what not to wear)
3. I love dancing and it takes me to trance.
4. I keep on thinking about something or the other while I am walking and so I look kind of lost.

Well, the list will go on and on... But this blog is intended to be mostly about appearance.

As a kid, my parents never advised me about dressing up. I used to wear whatever I liked. I watched too many shows and had understood the concept of dress for the occasion. (To add to it I had got a lecture about dress for the occasion from my brother while I was in 6th standard)

The point is I am ME and I CANNOT dress for you and if there is anyone I can dress for it is just ME :)

I love all kinds of clothes and as we say dress according to the occasion, place and time I believe in wearing a swimwear to the beach (No I am not talking about Porbandar read it as GOA or some awesome beaches where one can actually swim). I will wear a saree on Diwali, Holi Puja and other such festivals, Chania choli for Navratri and sangeets in weddings, Capri/shorts/shirts on normal days and jeans/formals whatever is the dress code at work. Yes I missed Salwar kameez, it depends on mood, I will wear it when I feel like. But I will like to do all this according to my wish and not because I am told to.

For guys it is simple and they do not have much to think while they dress. But trust me guys it means a world to girls and stopping them from expressing themselves is not fair. I believe not many girls nag about their guy's clothes.

Anyway, I have understood that I am a rebel if you order me to do something. I will do the complete opposite in some cases and might be not in others. The bottom line is if this is my life let me live it my way because I won't let you live it your way.


Here is the song I danced on this morning. Enjoy !!

Soon to be 24 & this is all I know about me


A person has so many personalities inside herself. Most of the people either eventually discover which one is dominating or they force themselves to fit into one. But there are third kind of people who are confused. 


I have heard many people saying that they do not have a dark side. I really do not know, I really do not understand and I really do not believe in this. I have known myself for 21 years (I do not remember much of the first 2 years of my life) and still I do not know what is my personality.


I have seen goths only on tv, I have seen some crazy pierced and tattooed people and I have seen some bubbly, charming talkative people. Then there are some competitive ones, some who talk less , some who are lost in their own world and some big time gossipers. I am sure many of you will easily classify yourself in one of these categories or may be you would be sure of your type.


I on the other side think I have many types of personalities in me and all are dominating at different point of time. I love to be Goth, the makeup the music and the calmness that they have. There was a point of time when I had only black and grey clothes. But then with time I felt more colourful. I started liking PINK! I could not believe it. Then I discovered that though I was very talkative, I loved to be quite and a 9 day of silence proved it. I love non-violence but still there are people I have hit (with reasons of course) and well, I am a hard hitter.


So I believe my journey to find myself is still on. I hope one day I will find myself. In the end I just want to know is it just me or you too are in search of yourself??

It was Valentine's night, yes the day was over. A newly 'formed' couple went out to a nice little place to have Chinese. It was there first date. The guy asked his lady, "What will you like to have?". She replied, "Schezwan noodles". She has a concept in mind about eating out. If two people went out they will order two things and then share it or may be sometimes three things too. She thought this is the Indian way of thinking. To her surprise the guy ordered TWO Schezwan noodles. This was THE END. She was sure the relationship would not go on for more than a couple of such dates. Dinner was done and they went to there own ways.


At some other fast-food joint was another newly 'formed' couple. They probably shared pizza, burgers and coke. The girl kissed the guy good bye and they went to there ways.


Both the girls met right outside there flat smiling at each other. The time was 11:30. They probably expected more from their dates. More of understanding, more similarity and more appreciation. 


PS : The first girl had specially bought an nice red shirt for this day and the guy laughed at her saying "I really do not understand why do people wear red on this day!". The second girl was looking stunning in a nicely fitted black dress and the guy said "Do you want to show you are single by wearing black today?"


So as they looked at each other they understood each other. Being in a DRY STATE they had just one option : Go out and enjoy some tea. As they went to the tea shop they saw two of their friends there. Both the guys greeted the girls warmly with two compliments they had been longing to hear : "You look like a princess in that red dress!" and "That black dress is stunning!" All four of them had tea and it was 12:00 at night. They shared puffs, maska bun and Parle G. The smile was back on the girls face. 




Even though the smile was back because of the other guys the girls never tried to TELL what they wanted from the relationship of their boyfriends (now ex) and the guys never tried to UNDERSTAND what the girls wanted.  


When you do not have a date you understand the importance of company. So next time when you see your date in an awesome dress compliment her, make her smile and let her talk. And girls give time and tell the guy what you EXACTLY want because guys do not read between the lines. 


Life is short. Live it , know it while you still have it.


Cheers to beautiful life.
