The Mirror….

What do you mean by a “mirror” ? … there may be several definitions in the world that define a portrait. But I have a different meaning to give.. its not great but some people might find a new meaning to their lives after knowing this. May look at people differently once they think about it  deeply.
For me, mirror is that element in your life which / who reflects, the things that you do. Are these actions of yours right or wrong.  Helps you generate ideas for life. Helps you realize the best parts in you.. Sometimes also highlights the defects in you. Sometimes show you, the real person in you but sometimes hides the real person, only to motivate you to keep on going in life.
It does all things for you, but you never bother about the mirror… becoz you feel that after all its just a reflection of yours.. You feel that, If you are better off.. the mirror would be fine. The mirror never complains.. nor does it stop doing its work.. albeit it tries to be better each time..But you don’t see, nor do you appreciate.. you only take it for granted. You don’t realize one more thing.. though the mirror tries to make you better off, improves you… it never changes for you..it remains the same.. as you liked it the first time. But you become so much better with the aid of the mirror that you consider it to be not matching your standards and feel it is outdated. The mirror never moves, never changes, as it knows that you like it the way it is…. But it is you who sometimes have problems with the way the mirror is…But the mirror has never changed. The mirror may deserve a better companion, but it is loyal to you, is concerned about your growth.. that it forgets its own betterment.
You the reader, must be thinking that why am I talking so much about the mirror. Becoz in our lives, there is someone special, who acts the same way as the mirror but we never realize it. Sadly by the time we realize it, the mirror would have already cracked..
I have a mirror in my life… from whom I am inspired to write this… but sadly I am not able to express that I realize the importance of her presence in my life.

Orange City – Revelation.

Yes! I am back to my original self. I have again started talking to myself. This is my third trip to Nagpur (the orange city). This time my mother has asked me to get Nagpur’s famous Orange Barfi (sweetmeat)and like always I was too busy with my work and after work I wanted sometime to relax back in my hotel room. The hotel I usually stay is Dwarka at Sitabuldi, Nagpur. Looks absolutely shady! But what to do, I am here only for a day. (Thankfully not night). But I remember, Last month  I had to spend a night at Nagpur, coz. I didn’t have train reservation for Raipur nor could find any buses to Raipur, thanks to the threat from Naxal’s, many buses from Nagpur to Raipur have been terminated. The night experience was not so bad, had a pleasant sleep but next day I had to travel from Nagpur to Jabalpur via Bus. They said it takes 4 hrs in a Volvo Bus service, but mind it, it took the entire day. At the end of the journey, I was dizzy enough to puke. But yeah that was last month.

Waking Up to life

Today, when I woke up, the first thing that came to my mind was....BREAKFAST..What would have Mom made for breakfast, had a deep urge of having "poha" (Spicy rice flakes with onion and potato pieces). Completed my daily routine, at full luxury (as on weekdays, I have to do everything in a hurry..reason; new reporting time in office 8:00AM, since 25th November 2009 .my 24th Birthday - should have been a day of new beginning, I mean new time of beginning for me.. lol).  Climbing down the steps from my room, I heard my dad say,"Why waste so much money, this time of the year there is not much income." this was about the celebrating my birthday, I had postponed the celebration to today evening as my sister was in Goa on 25th Nov. My Mom saw me hearing that an quickly responded to me saying that, Dad's health is not great to go out for dinner, so lets just cook your favourite Biryani, Tandoori Chicken and some kebabs at home. I responded immediately that because o

Marriage – the union

We have often heard that marriages are made in heaven and they are the union of two souls etc. etc. But my question to myself is “Is it really so?”.... I disbelieve or rather contradict the statement of Marriages made in heaven or they being the union of two souls. Marriage in my understanding is a union of two different worlds. Let me explain.... The groom’s side and the bride’s side even if they belong to same caste, community , religion, region etc. no matter how many similarities they possess, there always exists a difference in attitudes, behavior, motives, etc. among the two uniting families. So I simply put it as a union of two different worlds. There is always a belief that the bride has to adjust with the groom’s family, but along with it, also is seen the reverse. In order to make the bride comfortable, the groom is usually seen adapting with the in-laws. So the bride as well as the groom; both with equal amount of efforts, try to adapt to each other’s world. Even the
