Winters

The best time of the year!

I was thinking about setting up a christmas tree early this year. My mom was surprised as to why I want to set up a christmas tree this early, well to begin with she wanted to know why I wanted to set up a tree at all. 

I don't know I just love Christmas, well its a bummer that we don't get snow here, aah what I'd give to live in a snowy place someday.  Sure, it'll happen one fine day but till then enjoy the spirit of Christmas no matter where you are in the World. 

If you consider there are so many festivals that relate to all different mythologies. The meaning of festivals are same but, the time they are celebrated, might differ in all parts of the world. Take out the optimist inside of you and celebrate all the festivals no matter which religion you follow. 

Even the smallest occasions in life should be celebrated. Life never throws a second chance. Make each day count. 

I hope I am able to set up a very pretty Christmas tree so that my mom thinks it'd look best with presents around it. PICTURE PERFECT.

(Who doesn't love presents :D)

XOXO

Isn't it Gorgeous!

P.S. this is what I hope mine looks like. Enlightens the spirit inside of ya inn'it? 

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

People you shared your history with

Ah! so much has happened in this last month, just didn't get a chance to share it with you all.
I have started to commute which consumes all my day, from early morning to late evening I just don't get to know when my day started and when it's already time for bed. I am not an early riser also I am on the first stage of insomnia which doesn't let me sleep on proper timings, but after this heavy schedule and all-busy day, I have to sleep on time, get up on time, honestly I am losing my nerves here.

Weekend and vacations are one time when I become my old-self and trust me, that feels good.
and another thing that makes me feel equally good is the good time's spent with my favorite group of people in the world, my sisters, Mehak, Deepali and Kinu. Can't explain how much fun it is when we get together, and that is rare, as Mehak lives in Delhi and Deepali in Canada, I and Kinu are from the same part of a little city in Punjab. When I got a chance to hang out with the trio all together, I was, in no-way going to miss the chance to add this holiday in the list of best-times-EVER.

And, for once again, we did have the best times of our lives, I am surely saying that from their part too because, I know them, bloody-hell-a-lot-well. Okay, the plan didn't go that well, we had to miss a little bit of the itinerary but hey! it was all worth it! I still end up laughing out loud on some of the silliest jokes we made. For myself only, I can say that the time I spent with these people is the time I am going to cherish throughout my life, even if I get to live a hundred years!
Its just their talent or my weakness towards them, they do an amazing job to make me feel happy and special.

In the end, because I can't go into much details due to certain requirements of the Censor board, for obvious reasons, I am going to end this entry on a mysterious yet happy note.

I don't have the pictures yet but surely coming soon with a little more update of the 'highlights of the day' when I meet them again, next Weekend! YAYIEEEE. Can't wait

I love you guys..
XOXO

How we Met

"How did you guys meet"?  I am talking about my partner-in-crime here, PRABHLEEN KAUR, a lot of people have been asking us this question lately and even though its not a new thing, we decided to turn it into my new blog entry, The story of How We Met!
It was 28th August of 2009, our Admission Counseling Day, it was as if, the only course left for me to get admission if I wanted to become an engineer, so my parents and I went up to the counseling of 5-year Integrated Engineering Management Course at Punjabi University, Patiala. When I entered, I thought, I am going to be stuck here, in the middle of weirdos. But then I saw her, sitting in between her parents, I thought she was there to admit her 'younger' sibling or someone else because she certainly didn't look my age (credits to her tall frame, she's 5'10'' :p).  She smiled her million dollar smile at me and I gave her my worried smile back, not aware of the fact that she was going to be my BFF <3
I went to stand with my dad and his friend, he was there with his daughter for her admission too, I didn't know her then either, but another of my crazy buddies MANU THAKUR. We became friends instantly and we were discussing her last-bogus-experience in Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College Ludhiana. We were in the midst of talking when the announcing lady yelled, "Prabhleen Kaur please proceed" I saw her going to sign up for admission in Electronics and Communication Department.
After a while when I and Manu were done with our admission forms too, Prabhleen (I know she's going to kill me for the extensive usage of her name Prabhleen instead of her preference for PARRY but I am going to keep it this way)  came up to me and asked, "which trade are you getting into and when will the final list come up?" I replied, "I don't know, but I'll let you know as soon as I find out." She gave me her number, I went to my mom to take my phone out of her bag, and I saved her number. We talked in the evening when she called me to tell me that the lists were there and that we've both got our preferred trades.
Later that evening, I was just going through my facebook and I found out a new friend request from a certain Prabhleen Kaur, her profile picture in a green t-shirt-, still one of my favorite pictures of her, and that's how I found this creepy-facebook-obsessed-sweet-innocent-completely-boungi PARRY.
Sure, we had a lot of low-phases in our life, but who doesn't ?? and we've come out stronger than ever, out of every situation. There are things that she doesn't like about me, and I don't like about her, despite of all that we are Friends Forever and Ever.

Here's to you, Parrad, "From the first day of our college till the last day of my life, I'll be standing right next to you till the day I die." I LOVE YOU :)

And as we go on, we remember, All the times we've had together; And as our lives change, from whatever, We are
"FRIENDS FOREVER"

P.S. Our favorite song, we scream our lungs out when we sing this together, "http://youtu.be/Ie5YvDd4NFw"

Eternally grateful ;)

"In life, we must learn to say - I am sorry, I love you, thank you and good bye. It might not be easy but we can also say you are welcome, please stay or even stop. It would just be a matter of choice; choice of words, time and person. So be honest, listen and say what is in your heart."

- Facebook status updated by my friend PRABHLEEN KAUR.. 

Whether you are saying sorry for accidentally bumping into someone, or hurting them beyond repair, saying it to a random person or some one you don't want to loose. "Sorry" helps, it makes a difference. 
Whether you are thanking some one for lending you a pencil or thanking them for being there for you, to some one helping you at the ticket counter or some one helping you in running your life, "thanks" helps, it makes a difference. 
Whether the goodbye you said was more intentional or involuntary than you meant it, "see you soon" helps, it makes a difference. 
Whether you are saying I love you to your mom or your brother, your family or your friend, some one you meet everyday or you see once every year, it helps, it always makes a difference. 
These words are not adjectives or helping verbs or nouns or pronouns they hold much more relevance in our lives than a few grammar tests or mannerisms. Its funny how we forget to tell our moms that we love them, forget to say thanks to our dads and sorry to our siblings but we do not hesitate in wasting these precious words by casually springing them unnecessarily at any random stranger. Its good to say thanks to the lady at the coffee shop, to the waiter who had to pick up your dirty dishes, sorry to the janitor who had to clean up your mess! But seriously, at first, why not say thanks to your dad for working hours and hours so that you could eat out, shop till your hearts stops beating, and enjoy a comfortable life; why not say thanks to your moms who suffered sleepless nights due to your sore tummy when you were a kid, sorry for breaking your siblings favorite toys just for the fun of it. And than throw these words around in the basket of kindness, mannerisms and etiquette s.Taking the most important people in our life for granted leads to zero appreciation whereas you should be showering them with presents (just a thought).
Always remember:


"Be grateful, be kind, be loved"


XOXO 

The Hare and The Tortoise, yet again..

We have all heard about the story about the famous race between our very favorite, Mr. Tortoise and Mr. Hare since childhood. 
Lets repeat it again today with a bit of addition to the original version, as life throws something new at us all the time, one of my new favorite rules quoted by one of my favorite TV characters that "new is always better" so here's presenting to you some new add-on s to one of the oldest stories of my life.

Story #1 (the original version, just in case you missed it before or simply for reminiscing purposes)


Once upon a time in a jungle there lived a Tortoise and a Hare. One day Mr. Hare was making fun of Mr. Tortoise's slowness, he bragged on and on about how fast he, Mr. Hare, is and how slow Mr. Tortoise is. After listening to relentless boasting of Mr. Hare's hustle, Mr. Tortoise raised his neck and challenged Mr. Hare to a race. 

Mr Hare thought "what a silly fellow, he thinks he can beat me, I'll show him" and says, "Sure, Mr. Tortoise, the race is on"
Mr. Tortoise called out for animals in the jungle and mapped the race track and set the time of the race.
The next day at sunrise the race began, Mr. Hare being such a swift runner, soon left Mr. Tortoise behind. After crossing half-way Mr. Hare stopped for a while, stretched his arms thinking, "I have plenty of time to take a nap" and slept alongside the road. Mr. Tortoise walking slow and steadily, never stopping, finished the race before Mr. Hare. 
Later in the evening, when Mr. Hare woke up he ran as fast as he could to see Mr. Tortoise waiting patiently for his arrival at the finish line. 
Moral:
<Slow and steady wins the race>


Story #2 (story continued after the first race)


After losing to Mr. Tortoise, Mr. Hare felt terribly ashamed of himself and to keep his future generations from making fun of him, he challenged Mr. Tortoise for another race and this time Mr. Hare had made up his mind to not to stop until he reaches the finish line, Mr. Tortoise agreed. 

The race was planned the similar way and in the end obviously Mr. Hare won the simple race because he was fast and Mr. Tortoise was slow. 
Moral:
<Determination and strong will are the key ingredients to success>


Story #3 (further a bit more)


Mr. Tortoise said to Mr. Hare, "we've raced twice, we both won once, now lets have another race, a last one, to decide the winner. Once and for all, to settle the argument."
Mr. Hare, proud and obsessed with his speed, agreed.  Mr. Tortoise said, "but one condition, Mr. Hare, I will choose the path of the race"
Mr. Hare agreed to that as well. Hence, the path was selected by Mr. T and the race began in the same way. Mr. Hare was determined to stop only after he finishes the race before Mr. T.

What Mr.  H didn't know was, that the finishing line was beyond a deep pond. and there was no way for Mr. H to reach the other end to get to the finishing line. Hence he waited and waited and thought and thought. Meanwhile Mr. T reached the pond and saw Mr. H sitting there deep in thoughts. But since it was working as Mr. T planned, he smiled sheepishly and crossed the pond and hence won that particular race. 
Moral: 
<A person, well-prepared with a perfect strategy is higher above than a person full of talent and experience>


Story #4 (My favorite and best of all)


After finally admitting defeat Mr. Hare, stopped boasting about his speed and became a pleasant person to be around with. So, Mr. Tortoise asked Mr. Hare to be friends, which Mr. H agreed up on happily. One day both of them were sitting idle, had nothing to do, Mr. H proposed to Mr. T, that they should have a race, not a competitive race, but a friendly one. A very healthy and friendly race between the two of them. Mr. T agreed. Mr H chose the same path that Mr. T chose in the last race. On the normal ground Mr. H carried Mr. T on his shoulders and ran as fast as he could and upon reaching the pond Mr. T carried Mr. Hare on his hunch, swimming all the way to the other end. Hence, they both reached the other end of the pond together. Mr. H then realized that it took them half of the time together to complete the race whereas individually it was a huge waste of time. Mr. T was also thinking the same thing. Hence they  both learned a valuable lesson, Mr. Hare never bragged about his capabilities to any one ever again. 
Moral:
<Team-Work and Team-Spirit will take you to a goal where you cannot even dream of going on your own>


**Some splendid examples of team work:- 
1.Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay (first ever to climb the Mt. Everest on May 29, 1953.
2.Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. (first ever to step on the moon on July 20, 1969.
and so on..


I am grateful to one of my Professor's at my college for re-telling us what we've already known in a full interactive way possible. I am never going to forget this story and try to imply it as much as I can in my life. 
This just shows that there are several outcomes of one phase and its our wish to choose the right door. Also, all the morals are completely adaptive to their specific borough. 
Cheers!

LOVE- Just another chapter of a simple ordinary life

How tiresome it can be to love someone and they don’t return your feelings. Instead they love someone else the way you love them and that someone else loves someone else, it’s a circle that goes on and on. As Germans quote, a circle is a symbol of infinity, Love is infinite. It can be for one person or for many people in your life.

I totally believe a person can fall in love again and again, provided, the other person is interested in making you fall head over heels for them. If you can find that someone in a lot of people, you can fall in love umpteen times but heartbroken many times of course (every luxury comes with a high price). It’s on the other person if they want to make you fall in love for them. A small patch of conversation can build a strong root of affection, a slight base of attraction can form large amount of trust and one pinch of trust can foster deep love. Actually I think it all comes down to one thing, you love your partner and they love you back, but do you both love each other equally. To be completely honest, every girl wants to find the true, unselfish, unconditional love (Thanks you, Stephanie Mayer for setting up an Edward Cullen benchmark), but to find that unconditional love is a myth, impractical, that doesn’t exist, I agree, you love someone you do anything for them but at the end of the day you have to agree it can’t be perfect all the time. All that crap that “I want a guy who stays up to watch me go to sleep” that’s all crap, that doesn’t happen. In the beginning, he might, but if he stops doing it after a while, will you leave him or you’d think he doesn’t love you anymore, come on girl; he is a human being too. And of course guys are not perfect specimens (except of course Edward Cullen :D ) and I don’t even wanna start on boys shortcomings here, they might block me for humongous extra consumption of space provided. Ha ha

Today I was talking to one of my old friends, she was about to dump her school-sweetheart, why? just because he doesn't pay attention to her anymore and they've been together for around 6 years, yeah I know that's long, change is a nature of life. and I thought it gets better with time. When you move from teens to adults, from schools to college, from playing to hanging out, everything changes and so does your point-of-view, your priorities change from tuition to the salon appointment. so its perfectly normal for a relationship to drift apart. But of course that doesn't mean you stop being together, its just another phase, they come and go. And I am trying to save their relationship just because I know the guy is a real nice and genuine person. In this scenario, the guys change terribly too, of course choices are what makes a person. And they can vary in large magnitude, I wouldn't be surprised if a guy who have been in a love with a girl in school becomes a real jerk after a few years. I was very happy when they met and came across all the hurdles in their life happily. After everything they've been through, they came out bold and strong. But I wouldn't suggest my younger to sister to fall in love that young. Its a mistake, not right now, but definitely, some years later.

All I am here saying is, girls you too should try on a lot of pants before buying a final perfect fit for you. Why should boys have all the fun! Though you better hurry up in recognizing your perfect fit before someone else comes and grabs it before you do. Whoever said “Love ain’t easy” is soo friggin’ right!
WE should always try to learn from other person's experiences, because if you wanna know what's on the road ahead of you, only the person who is coming back from the road can tell you exactly what's at the end of it. Why repeat some one else's mistakes, learn from them and make different mistakes, that should be more fun, isn't it! LOL

There is something about first love that makes you believe in love in the first place but not all first loves are successful, actually strategically the percentage of successful first-loves is very less.

The Shaitaan inside of you.

The Movie "Shaitan" a thriller movie based on today's youth.
I think they have two perspectives on the movie- first- A young group of spoiled friends met with an accident, face the consequences of being too scared to owe up to it. Second- One dirty fish which spoils the entire pond, i.e. one of them lulled into greed hence the deathly consequences.
While getting out of the theater I heard a family of uncle's and auntie's talking among st themselves that its all about the upbringing of the kids and they concluded that they'll take away their sons car back. Poor guy LOL I guess that is quiet obvious, all the parents would want to keep their kids out of trouble, but I also think that parents should have a very trusting bond with their kids that their kids should trust them with anything no matter what.

FRIENDS, what to say about them, they are always there for you. They support you as a family, they care for you as a lover, they never let you face anything alone. When you are with them your world becomes paradise on earth. I have one such friend too- her name is Prabhleen Kaur but no one calls her that., she's better known as Parry :)
She's my partner in crime, my sweet-not-so-innocent-boungibilli Parry partner. we were supposed to go to shimla this weekend together but couldn't go. We have done so many things-right or wrong together - but of course always right for us. ha ha. anyway more of that later.

Back to the movie- A correct up marked portrait of drugs usage these days.I conclude it with a 3-star ratings.


XOXO

PS- What do you think about the role of the Police Department displayed, if you have seen the movie.

At the Outset!

I've been planning to enter the blogging world for quiet a while, but one thing or the other prevented me from doing so. But since I am here now finally, I am hoping to do some good. I guess, I am gonna make mistakes, big one's in the beginning, but WTH! who doesn't. 

I am a very random person and pretty indecisive, I might be planning to do one thing today and completely forget about it the next day probably the next moment. I am one of those people who GENUINELY forget "calling back" but I am not confused. In one way I am completely focused- I wanna do some good to the world. I think that's the only reason we're sent all this way by god (yes, I believe in God, Santa, tooth fairy also VAMPIRES :p)
Apart from this, I have my own personal world in which I am a far better person that I am in the real domain (proud? No) 

I believe, We all are here for just a while, why complain and regret. Life is short- LIVE it, LIKE it, LOVE it!

XOXO
