This is a social issue right now in India which needs attention… immediately.It’s really sad to know that the law and the judiciary has become extremely biased towards women.Its high time now they need to stop this blind support to either of the gender and start refining laws in order to protect the rights of both men and women.
Am I true?
That’s my question to myself today! Hmmmm….I think I really need to answer that…, coz’ if I don’t then I’ll never get answers to so many of my questions.
So let me ask it again …to myself….Am I true?
True… means to be true in every sense one could be to one self.
I know that’s a big question! I don’t know about others but about myself I can say….I sware! I am really trying hard to be me…..the real me!You know why I said ‘trying’…? Because I think we all are just faking it most of the time.Ya! We are always trying to be ….what we aren’t! What say?
Only God knows why we humans become like that, but if we try to find out and change even one percent of the cause responsible for this, I am sure we can really be ‘ourselves’.
So…. I have begun my journey.The journey of being real self, of being really naked, of being so clear that I’m truely visible, of being purely ME and nothing else.., the journey of being ‘TRUE’.

Veronica decides to die….
“Veronica decides to die” that’s a wonderful book written by Paulo Coelho.That was my first one of Paulo’s books….and it touched me so much that from that day onwards I’ve read almost every book of his.
Today I felt strongly to write about how I felt, what came to my mind,..and most of it, why this story of his is so close to my heart!
One fine day I picked up this blue colour book which I had bought on my trip to Delhi, and was lying there simply for days now.I started reading but wasn’t still into it, eventually as it progressed I was so much into it that veronica was alive for me! Yes! it literally felt as if she’s not just a character but in fact a real person whom I know, morover felt like myself!
Although Paulo is the one who’s extremely good in this art, still there aren’t too many stories or characters one could relate so strongly with.That’s why it is special! special to me!
Veronica had everything she could have wished for..! She was young and pretty, had plenty of attractive boyfriends.., had a steady job, a loving family………
But inspite of all the good things , people and happiness in her life , she was not happy; some thing always lacked in her life..! I think that’s the state ..all of us face or feel at least once in our lives! Don’t we?
But still nobody knows the answer…, nobody knows why inspite of everything fulfilling there is some hollowness…, why everything bieng so much in place ; few things are always misplaced in our lives.
So many of such questions came to my mind when I was with Veronica; Paulo’s Veronica……..relating…. and even feeling the same pain at times , which she was going through. Yes !, I could feel how she must have felt!
Suddenly everything comes to a stand still..as she takes her own life surrendering and succumbing to the circumstances, she suicides……!That moment I’m withdrawn to my own self!Not able to relate myself with the one at that moment, I still continued reading the novel.
Few pages more and Veronica was alive again! But to a harsher reality that she had very little time to live now. Yes, she was saved but now had a heart problem which doctors said will take her life soon.
The realisation immidiately changes her whole mind…,her thoughts, her feelings, her beliefs, her perspective and her definition of happiness……everything! I, again into my thought process, questioned my own self again and again.
Is surrendering to the circumstances the only answer? No! not for me atleast! Even I’ve felt extremely low and miserable at times, but somehow managed to come over all of it. And that’s what has given me strength! I’ve learnt that life is too precious to be wasted or lost.
Now I don’t believe in regretting but instead in seeing lessons which I’ve learnt and moving further.Coz’ those are responsible to get me to my current strength and wisdom!
For me Veronica who was weak, fragile, vulnerable, confused has died! That was Veronica- or that was me!?
The Veronica who’s alive with new dreams, new hopes, new happiness and a life full of love is the one who lives, and will always live…….. in me, in you in all of us!
The best Bargain…..!
A few minutes back I read the Lorelle’s latest blog challenge.So here I am writing my post on one of the best bargains ever.Yes! that’s the challenge for the week.
I still remember that day and smile as if I achieved something great .Surely it was an achievement….. 
!I was there at my favourite saree shop in Delhi few years back, along with my father to buy some sarees for myself. The summer had started and I desperately needed some beautiful pieces to be added to my already existing collection.
As we entered the shop the owner smiled and greeted us, offered us soft drinks and made us comfortable enough before the shopping session. I sware! they are so good at all this that you can’t even think of leaving the shop without buying anything!
My eyes were constantly searching for lighter shades , thin fabric (summer)…….hmmmmm….suddenly I said…ah! take out that offwhite and gold saree!And before I could see anything else I decided to buy that particular piece for sure.
I asked about its price from the salesman on the counter and as he said 800Rs, without waiting for even a second I kept it on my lap so that nobody else could ask for it. After seeing a lot of stuff we decided to pick three pieces and I asked the owner to give me the bill. As he handed me the reciept I again checked the price of that particular saree as I was not able to believe that it was that cheap.
Then the owner got the pieces purchased to give to us and suddenly his facial expressions changed.Yes! he was also confused about the particular piece and hence asked us to wait for a minute as he wanted to confirm about the price. He went and checked in his own list and called this salesman, the one who sold me the saree. Did you check the label?, he asked. The man replied , ‘haan ji 800 hi tha’!
The owner returned to us and said that there was some printing mistake, the price of the saree was 2800Rs and not 800Rs. (I knew it!) But I politely answered him that it was not my problem now as I had already paid him for that.He had nothing more to say than to just have a stupid smile on his face because he never wanted to spoil his relation with his permanent customer…not me! my Father!
The moment I stepped out of that shop I felt as if I had won a battle or something!It was soooo..exciting!:)
Such an accomplishement that I still remember it whenever I wear that beautiful saree.
Revirgination – The Latest Fad?
A concept…. funny and shocking as well !!
“Rocking to a new Beat”
Yes! that’s the news these days………, with Hindi Rock Bands like Euphoria, Silk route, and many more…,hitting the high notes , it is quite visible, how tastes are changing in India specially.
But wait! I am not here to discuss what I read today but to write about what instantly clicked me when I read this news about the bands and wondered why there weren’t any of the girl bands being even mentioned!( forget about being discussed) .
I started thinking of few names ….but couldn’t think of many..no-no…any for that matter! Does any of you out there remember any? Please tell me too! Infact there was a girl band called ‘Viva’, but only god knows where they’ve dissapeared!
It’s not that I’m trying to blame the editor, or the publisher of that article but then isn’t it a thing to be thought about? The moment I thought of it…the second moment I dreamt of being one someday!……..
I just love music and will be more than happyto do my own bit in the music scene. That’s one of the things topping my wishlist! Even the thought of performing on a stage live in front of thousands of people, gives me a heavy adranaline gush….whooooo…..ooof!!!!!
Now it’s time to dream”"”"”"”"” , to be in my own world…….
hmmmmmmm…….happy dreamin’!!
