LET ME KNOW

It was time when “Bas Itna Sa Khawab Hai” movie starring Abhishek Bachhan released and movie catch line caught hold my imagination string. I got into interest to write poem and I do remember my very first poem title “All I want is everything”. (Catch line of movie)

It was my English Teacher Mrs. Sood who caught me writing this poem during her class. She took my book and read. Guess what! She read and wrote remark “Good and inspiring poem. May you get what you want in this life! Everything… ” I was bamboozled. It was my very first poem and I too couldn’t believe with such remark. Remark made me to feel like “Abhishek Go Go Go, write more poems whatever interest my heart, you have talent in you”.

I wrote many poems during my college days and after writing each poem (whether in Hindi or English); I got into habit to show it to my friends who are interested in poems and know their feedback on my poems. Sometimes they like my poem, sometimes not, sometimes they comment on my language of poem and even sometimes they feel irritated. Writing poems become one of my hobbies and most important I feel happy when someone gives me feedback. This feedback gives me inspiration to write more and more.

Same poem writing continued during my initial MBA days but situation changed. No one (MBA colleagues, friends) ever took interest to read or give feedback or comment on poem. This slowly made me to lose interest in writing poems and I wrote no poems furthermore.

Now let go fast forward in my life: completed MBA, joined TVS-E, made new friends, and celebrated New Year 31st night at Pondicherry with friends. Pause here! After coming back from Pondicherry, I wrote mail describing our experience at Pondicherry. My friends liked it (the way I describe Pondicherry trip). Now fast forward, 3-4 months time flew, made few more friends in company and we planned for one day trip to TADA Waterfalls.

Stop. Play. After trip, again I wrote mail describing our trip starting from morning 5 am till we were back to Chennai 7 pm. Deepak came to me and gave feedback “Too good yaar, Mazza aa gaya padh kar. (Enjoyed reading this) Why don’t you write this in blog so that if we goggle TADA Waterfall, your blog should appear in first page result?” Very first thought came to my mind was “Blog! What is that?”

I don’t know what happen to my mind; I created my blog space in BLOGGER. I just copy paste the mail content to blog space. I wanted to share our TADA experience with other friends too, so I have sent the website link to friends. Many of them gave me good feedback on this blog. This inspired me write more blog. I was in search of topic for writing blog and finally wrote on Roman proverb “Rome was not built in a day”. As my nature or say behaviour, I sent mail to all my friends regarding this and waiting for their feedback. Many friends liked it very much and gave me good feedback.

So, this went on. Blogging become one of my hobbies (flashback; just like writing poem). I publish blog and yearn for feedback. Some read interestingly, some don’t. Here too some friends get irritated. Most importantly, I use to get feedback from friends which keep me inspired to write more. Infact, I am happy that this gave me a start to write poem again (which I lost interest long back) and same I had published on my blog website.


Feedback or comment on what you have done has a strong impact on person. It gives inspiration, lesson, show your good and bad mistakes and most importantly mirrors your ability & potential talent. It is in human nature to crave for feedback for the work done by him/her. Whether it be blog or poem or film or music or painting or even official presentation or anything, creator would definitely have thirst for feedback.

Whether good or bad, whether they liked it or not, what they felt after reading it, any kinda feedback or comment indeed is important for me. It makes me know where I did well and where I did worst. Some may feel excellent, some may feel it boring, some may feel it nice, some feel it crap, what matter the most is “LET ME KNOW”.

Surprise

She accompanied by her friend at home, were listening songs on FM and eagerly waiting for clock to tick past 12 (reason “her birthday”). Just before it ticks 12, I reached home and gave her surprise. She was surprised. She jumped at joy, hugged me tightly and was so happy to see me on her birthday.

We had lots of masti whole night and did planning for next day to freak out and celebrate her birthday. We went to temple (yes, right temple for blessing), then shopping mall, then movie, garden and finally hotel for dinner.

Before reaching home, I was thinking that something is missing on her birthday. Gotcha! Cake is missing! Without wasting miniscule second, I called my friend to get delicious cake and deliver at our home.

We reached home and I got chance to escape from her sight. Before she enters into room, I had turned off the lights and cake was lit up with candles. As she entered room, she saw cake lit up with candles and we (I and her friend) sang birthday song. She was so happy like never before. One should see her face and happiness she is experiencing to believe. It was like she has got whole world in that small surprise.

One should see sparkles in her eyes, joy and happiness reflecting on her face. It was surprise and that was giving her immense pleasure and happiness which I think would not have given by any precious gift on earth. It was giving me gratification and much more satisfaction than giving gift on her birthday.

Surprise is such a wonderful moment which one can experience with immense happiness, joy and pleasure. Surprise is one such moment which can make anyone to experience happiness, joy nevertheless of his mood (whether good or bad, sad or normal, morose or depressed). Surprise makes the other feel special and has special place in our heart. Surprise is neither small nor big. Even small surprise gives us as much as happiness as that of big surprise.

Sparkles in eye, joy, happiness, pleasure, bliss, delight, ecstasy, feel like flying in seventh heaven combines into one such wonderful moment. THAT IS MAGIC OF SURPRISE.

Marriage on cards

My Friends (close and dear ones) always thought that I would be the very first bakra of this family natak and yes rightly said it is like convocation where guys losing his bachelor degree and girls achieve her master degree. Reason may be many, for them to think like this. For a time being, even I was fallen into this prey thinking of me being first bakra of our friend group but god is favoring me; I am not the first and also not like to be last bakra too.

Eye on every new girl, being more active in society parties, more calls to relatives, getting connected with far-known relatives, if get chance will browse photo album and ask in curiosity if any unknown girl pops out in pic….. Speed of Google result would be less than the search engine running in my family & close-first relative’s minds for searching suitable bride for me. Even matrimonial website has to think over before claiming themselves to be best and quickest match-maker.

But it seems like my mom, father, uncle, aunty, brother, sisters, relatives, grandma, close & dear friends are having different criteria or say different image for my bride. It is like in playing cards, joker is being matched with the ace card holder. Here too all my family members, friends, relatives are holding their trump card and I am being joker getting passed on and all are trying to make best match with their trump card.

Criteria or condition are like my mom wants her to be good nature and have respect for elders, dad wants to be from good upbringing, uncle wants her family to be financially strong, aunty wants her family background should match our status, brother wants family should have good business and of clean image, sisters wants her to be beautiful and fair colour, grandma wants her to be devotional, relatives wants her to active in many things (be it cooking, painting, etc.), and my close & dear friends wants her to be perfect match.

Just imagine, god listening to all these criteria and pleased enough to grant all wishes. I am very clear that I don’t want to be another panchchali (male version) of this modern era, getting married with five different gals satisfying one or other criteria for a perfect bride.

It is man who likes to be cuddling and getting cozy with as many as girls as he can on sofa but then I am well-versed with Govinda - Anil situation in movies (Thanks to Bollywood for educating to tackle such situation). My situation would be worst than SANDWICH and I would be running between GHARWALI BAHARWALI.

I would also like to imagine an image of a girl satisfying all criteria set by my family members, relatives and friends. Very first thought comes is KYA MAST HOGI YAAR! , then I AM LUCKIEST PERSON ON EARTH, then WOW! WHAT A LIFE IT WOULD BE! , then slowly WILL THAT GIRL ACCEPT ME? , then finally DOES SUCH GIRL EXIST? ……

Above all and but obvious I will be very surprised if any such girl passes all such condition filter so called created in minds, still final decision holds on my BIG “YES” or HUGE “NO”.

Feeling in LOVE

It was and is not a dream
An angel came to me
Face so glowing
Eyes so sparkling
Dress studded with stars
Crown shining with moon arch

She sat beside me
And her soft hands hold me
Together we flew so high
Thru the clouds and blue sky
To the new world so beautiful
Wonderful and more colourful

Garden is greener than been ever
Rose never seen much rosier
Silver lining on grass top over
Nightingale voice is sweeter than anyone hear
Lovebirds chirping here and there
Dolphin flapping to music of water

Under the soothing golden ray
We dance with colours of rainbow
Singing, enjoying
And cuddling in each other arms
Her tender hug and gentle kiss
Gave me the feeling of eternal bliss

She made me feel so special
Divine and so lovable
My world and myself
got new essence of life
When her lovely lips
Whispered to me “I LOVE YOU”

It was and is not a dream
An angel came to me
Face so glowing
Eyes so sparkling
Dress studded with stars
Crown shining with moon arch

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL MY DEAR ONES

BEFORE IT TICKS PAST 12, I WISH YOU HAPPY NEW YEAR AND COMING 2008 BRING SUCCESS AND PROSPEROUS LIFE
