GREED-TO-READ

Memories stick with you forever, it's only that we part with people! And so did my sweet, good, vivid, overwhelming and remarkably retentive memories with you all enforced me to write this special message for you all. Some were phenomenal, while some were equally dreadful.Some made me shake with laughter and others left me teary-eyed. I am so glad and thankful that we have shared such great memories and time together.These will surely work as a time machine for me to go back and cherish them. In Bronnie Ware's book 'The Top Five Regrets of the Dying' one of the most common regret was losing touch with friends.It's sad that we recognize the true value of things/people once we don't have them.I know we might get very busy afterwards but not enough to lose touch.One call/one text is enough.One hi/one hello  is enough. If someone does so, he/she is not free, he/she just cares more that anyone else does.After all it's all about priorities. The journey from strang

It's like a moving target , a cat chasing a shadow , a dog catching it's tail and a never ending finish line.As it is rightly said by Joseph Eastwood - "Perfect is a dream that you wake up from and spend forever trying to remember" Katty Kay and Claire Shipman in their book 'The Confidence Code For Girls'  (the book which inspired me to write this post) defined perfectionism as follows -  Perfectionism:  A really dangerous disease.An invasive, strangling vine that creeps into your life and chokes  everything in its path.It stresses you out and keeps you from taking risks.And most importantly, it keeps you from being you.    If perfection is your goal , you will NEVER REACH IT ! That's the bitter truth. Life is not full of big blue skies , brightly coloured rainbows , fanciable unicor

What is that one thing which connects the heaven to the earth? Air? No. Sky? No. Sunshine? Try again. Atmosphere? Not exactly. RAIN. Yes, it's rain.Some despise it while some love it. Some feel it while others just get wet.It falls straight from the above. It is the best blessing in disguise! Just like confetti falling from the sky in the form drops. It's as if your ancestors or loved ones are literally 'showering' blessings and good wishes on you and 'pouring' their heart out. It feels so good to have such a beautiful and warm connection between the one below and the one above. Isn't it? Rain is like a medium that connects the two realms of earth-lithosphere and atmosphere. Rain drops constantly  travel between the earth and the sky when the water cycle is set in motion. Just imagine these rain drops are  brimmed with such homely and earthy essence to the core! Did you know that late actor Irrfan Khan had a strange understanding of rain? Yes, his son Babil

All that glitters is not gold,  The hidden truth is yet to unfold.  In your eyes it might shine,  But in reality, it's a dark line.  For you, it might seem inviting,  What if it's actually not exciting?  It might be the best thing on the Earth,  Think twice, is it even worth ?  For you, it's all voguish and famous,  Just think what harm it can do to us.  To you, its savoury and tasty,  What if it's really unappealing and musty?  It might be something you are passionate about,  But when you come to know, it leaves you in doubt.  For all, it's public and popular from outside,  What if it's actually lonely from inside?  To the world it may seem powerful and renowned,  What if it's actually not that significant and profound ?  What we do is just admire,  Attention is what it doesn't require.  Adversity is when true strength is shown, Those who fall are often the ones well-known.  Recognize and realize is what we all have to do,  That's the change to be m

Bus number  482 was on its way to Santacruz station.The sweltering afternoon let sweat trickle down  the forehead , making the palms clammy. Renita just couldn't bear the scorching sun.She hurriedly opened the window beside her with a loud thud.She gave out a sigh of relief and started fanning her face with a newspaper.She relaxed herself as the cool wind passed gently over her cheeks. Rohit , a kind-hearted avid reader , was sitting behind Renita , engrossed in his book.The unhindered wind gushed inside , making the pages of his book flip continuously as the bus ran.Rohit's utter single-minded concentration was now disturbed! He was at the verge of solving the intensive investigation on a murder mystery with Sherlock Holmes when the wind blew away.It was like a naughty child messed up all your document papers and scattered them on the floor.Unfortunately ,Rohit lost his track!  He gently closed the window beside Renita and got back to find the page he was rea
