THEY NEED MORE!

“You wouldn’t get a good score unless you add a few relevant proverbs to your articles...” her words came strong when he asked her about the art of writing. All he had to do now was to recite few thoughts and find a way to fit them in the article and overhaul it for visual pleasure.

Two more! Come on! One last to go! Think of why you wanted this in the first place. And finally with all his strength he gave his trainer one more repetition. Oh life!                                      He sat on the old wooden chair in the garden watching the kids chase a butterfly, all memories were fresh and pleasing. Life was the usual before. The real problem starts when one perceives the real meaning of it. When the same words go for a complete different situations. And things aren’t exactly pretty and gratifying.

It seemed to be just a few days back when walking in the park was a common thing to do; when the cold breeze rushed through his hair and left back an alluring fragrance which mesmerized his mind. In race with the clock we forget the race with real time, which is nothing but the highly exaggerated term LIFE. He walked, he rushed, he worried, he jumped but he never lived.

Things makes much more sense now when his body acts as a harbor for a few outsiders, who seem to not leave easily. It’s been a year and half when the doctors told him about his triple negative cancer. Since then the treatment has sucked the importance of the virtual clock race and brought to life the bigger, or maybe the smaller things in life which are real. Small things now get more appreciation than what they did before.

Running is no more easier, walking itself is a task, now that his lungs remind him of their presence every time he tries.  Now he knows all the proverbs, all the thoughts and he no more needs to fit them because they fit in themselves.

Now the doctor treats him with medications which are no less than torture. Tears roll down his mom’s cheeks as she holds his hands sobbing as the chemotherapy kicks in, uttering “Two more honey...! Come on … Look at me! One last I promise! .... Think of why you wanted this in the first place…”

All we need is a BREAK !!

            Joey, Chandler, Phoebe, Rachel, Monica & Ross. It’s very easy to speak how difficult life is and to show what a serious deal it is. But give it a break and let’s know how fun easy and cool life really is. These six friends has been the most inspiring series to me so far.. It has solution to every problem one has in life.

           Well life this term itself is lot over rated ..instead of asking what’s going on in life? And making a person wonder in deep thoughts, joey taught us to ask “how you doing? “And the questions makes you smile. There isn't much of a difference in both the sentences, the difference lies in ease of second question. Asking how life haven’t been an easy question after all. How does someone expect you to sum up your so many years on planet in a few words..? I wish chandler was here.. He would have had the best answer for this.

            Speaking of chandler..well there is a lot to speak about him. Sometimes a few questions need just a few witty answers and your problem is solved. the best advice that you can give to an engineer going for a job interview is “ be chandler “ , anyways which engineer ends up in his own field  of expertise. And before I forget, Ross’s hand gesture salute to those who do.

             The thing that one learns the most from the show is that we take life very very very seriously. Though it shouldn't be. Come on! Be a bit Joey about it and speak out load “Why ask howz life ..? Ask what’s for lunch instead.” 

       

        What else should a person present the best, if not himself? Nothing else is as your own as you yourself. So why not present yourself the best, each day and each moment we live. People might place a counter argument saying that they aren't here to please someone, but this isn’t for pleasing others but just to be the best and special and most important, one in a million. And Rachel is the best example of this. She did everything to make herself look good, and no doubt she looked pretty in every scene.

It’s always difficult to get things when they are explain in a fashion that’s monotonic.

Let’s try this …read the question and think of your answer.

Q-What do you wish to do in life …?

.

.

.

So what is it..?

Make  family proud..? buy the best house in the city .?

We will compare it with the answers of FRIENDS.

.

.

Racheal – Bloomingdales :-*

Monica – Marry someone.

Ross – Not marry a lesbian this year :-P

Chandler – OH MYYYY GOOOOOD !

Joey – I Wish to DO someone :-P

Phoebe – OH OH OH I know I know …..OH WAIT ‘LIFE’…oh NO.... I don’t have one :-P

         Life isn’t the destinations guys, it’s the journey. I am sure this isn’t the first time we have heard this proverb but we still don’t get the meaning correct. If it is not about the destination then how can becoming something or someone be such a big deal in life? The life here is the way we follow to get there and not the end result.

    

           As I learnt ill want you all to learn for yourself too and if you find its worth, do suggest your close ones too to watch FRIENDS, you’ll get happy with life not because life is beautiful but because who the hell gives a damh about it unless you are happy. ;-)

PURE LOVE ..!

*NIGHT WITHOUT YOU *

As sun of horizon approaches the sea,

Isolated moon casts a noticeable light.

City lights lightens the sky and clouds above.

From places vanishes the crowd.

Soon it’s too late to light the room,

And city sleeps and the twilight blooms.

I here stay awake,

Hoping to have you here with whatever at stake.

Stars twinkle, moon brightens,

Darkness delights..

Oh baby I wish

I could see this with your eyes.

The beautiful it gets

More loneliness comes in.

Beauty isn’t failing,

It's my darlings love prevailing.

Laughs the moon,

Calls me crazy.

Questions me “why don't you sleep?"

Smiling at me points the asleep.

I look into his eyes and see the girl I love,

I get in my blanket I envy his fortune.

“Oh how lucky you are, you can see her even now,

I wish I could hold my baby now somehow"

Moon smiles and says,

“There are many more of my visits to come,

Someday I’ll see all that you just dream,

May my coming absence get that night nearer,

Because for now even I wish she was here"

Perfectly imperfect WE !!

The beauty of Mumbai

                 7:30 Churchgate fast, 10:38Andheri special, 8:18 CST ….

Might sound like a schedule to any random ‘non mumbaikar’ ,but for  mumbaikar these are the words that matter the most every morning . More than meeting a friend we are more worried about not missing these trains.

              

             Our people & our relations might change, our choices change with the change in market conditions :-P, but yes what won’t change about us is our sevpuriwala uncle and the people we meet every morning in our trains and their groups . We love talking. No matter what part of the world we go but juhu ka gola and marinedrives pein samosa with chai will always remain at the epitome in our list of favourites.

             

              We have gone through a lot together, the blasts that we are almost used to now or our water problems in rain and how can I forget! ,the most common of all our late trains :-P.. But again this is how the world looks at us .. We do a lot more things together. Like celebrating India’s cricket final victory by making entire city a party place that night , We play HOLI more at our friends places then ours.  No matter how bad drivers we are but we do curse others for their bad driving :-P.. We do dance hip hop, typical Bollywood , contemporary or whichever style but our favourite dance was always and will always be the ‘GANPATI ISHTYLE’ .

               

              We do stupid things .. for instance when train arrives the station we greet the motorman by waving at him as if he won’t stop the train if we don’t  :-P… no matter for what reason we are late for our work most of the times we put the blame on our railways :-P… we all are extremely proud of the Bandra-Worli sea link though we know it was built after such a delay in schedule. We talk so much about hygiene but when it comes to street food we forget these values and enjoy .No matter who is sitting beside us in train or in bus we start the conversation talking about the government, cricket or the train .. God we have so much time to spare ..:-P.. And still we are always late ..and specially to mention more than our relatives we treasure our friends and their relatives ..:-P. We hate it when people address our Mumbai as Bombay ..we have weird names for stations which make no sense.. like Bombay Central is not even close to centre of Mumbai. :-P

            

                We are crazy ..we are idiots.. we literally deserve a patent for the human behaviour that we all have .. but this is what we are and this is the reason we are so happy for god knows what reason. No matter how this city is.. no matter what problems we all face all day .. but we love this place.. and hence we say..

  ''AE DIL HAI MUSHKIL JINA YAHA , JARA HATKE , JARA BACHKE , YE HAI MUMBAI MERI JAAN''
