An angel descends...!

... I have always believed in angels...and i have always known there's one protecting me and helping me all the time...I call him my guardian angel...and well he's my best friend too...!
I have seen this protection time again and again. I have seen my angel give me strength when I felt like giving up and also seen my angel support me, when everything was falling apart. I have also seen my angel cry with me...when there was nothing I could do! ( yes,angel's cry too; for they are no Gods,but His instruments).

We never realize,but there is one guardian angel around us...sometimes even more. It takes a tough and trying situation for us to know and realize that we are all surrounded by angels. They are there all the time...some times we see them...in action. Appearing from no where and picking you from dirt and saving you!! Helping you overcome situations,by just being there.
I saw my second angel today....and i guess i should say that i'm lucky...because not everyone sees angels.and i have 2 of them :)

What am I on to......!!!!

So there’s been this topsy turvy …one hell of a time roller coaster ride for me for over couple of weeks and guess what! It doesn’t seem to end. The moment I feel the ride has come to an end and that I can breathe easy, the engines set off again taking wildest detours and get me off guard so much so that I am only a few steps away from being thrown off.

And when it does get over, and I feel that all is going to be fine, and I can cross over to the other side and get myself out of the tricky situation, I realize, the only way that I can get on to the other side, is take another roller coaster….(beat that).

Of course, I once upon a time felt that life should not be a routine and always wanted to see some adventure that give a sense and taste of different things in life, albeit I never expected that one day I would be dealing with one thing after the other (at times there’s more happening around than I can actually handle). I long for some time to relax my daunted nerves and cooling off my head which has a tendency of blowing up at split second frequencies.

Its nightmarish while I am awake, and sleep is increasingly becoming a luxury.

I wait, I pray, I hope for things to fall in place…

A thought of life....

Life…
It is full of surprises. It takes turns in weird ways and takes you through something that you have least expected.

Sometimes, you feel that everything around you is just so right, only to realize that you are just a few steps away from an approaching disaster, that may change the direction of your life. Sometimes you are sleeping peacefully dreaming about the most beautiful things in your life, a sudden tremor that appears from nowhere; shakes you up pulling off the ground beneath your feet and get you down …to reality. At times you feel you are listening to the most soothing music and then suddenly there’s an eardrum splitting, nerve cracking sound that violates your very reason of being alive.

And there are other times when you think everything is so improbably improper. All you see is just a mist of darkness around, no sign of life, and light. A numbing cold chill…of unexpected fears that engulf your mind. And out of nowhere, you see a speck of light, a sign of life, a warm breeze that comes over swiftly and you the comfort and warmth, like being in the protective lap of your mother.

Strangely enough, there are some good warm surprises as there are some reckless , ruthless surprises that await us every moment. To see beyond them and to live to accept and accustom to them is an art. Most of us do not even know of it or attempt to learn about it until we are at the verge of saying our final goodbyes from this land of materialistic fantasies, fallacies.

Inspite of this, we live, we learn, we ignore, we grieve, we hope. Sometimes with closed eyes we see the real beauty of life…and sometimes nothing at all even with eyes wide open.

how very stupid!!!

All I keep thinking is…how stupid! Everything that I think has to end with these words.. “how very stupid”. Nothing really, but since my new found hobby is self analysis and introspection…all I get at the end of it is “how very stupid of me”
At times when people talk to me about it I really get infuriated…well that’s because sometimes our vision is clouded (after all, human nature). But then when I think about it later, it seems everything makes sense  and then again I tell myself…..how very stupid of me!
If one has to find the biggest stupid on earth…who can whine and cry and then laugh out shamelessly at the same time…the search ends here….I think I am one of those few prototypes God accidently created (and maybe he too regrets now). I perhaps can wear the infamous crown for being one the biggest stupid on earth!
Well after reading this if you feel the same….I wouldn’t be surprised!!! :D

A.S.U.R

I have been trying to make myself understand my own behavior… (is’nt that good for a change). And while I was reading some of my own older posts, I realized that I have a sickeningly depressive drone…with a few bubbles of joy that come and pop up the moment they surface.
I think I suffer from ASUR (Acquired Stress for Unknown Reasons). Well well…these are a few symptoms of….my newly discovered state of mind (no Psychiatrist told me about it!) Off late, I think I’ve become tooooooooo sloppy, grouchy and in a way indifferent.(No, no, this is no case of lower self esteem, because if it was…I perhaps wouldn’t be writing praises for myself :P .
My mood swings have gone way beyond my control…and I don’t know (even while I write for this post) if I am depressed, sad, worried, emotionless, cold or happy (confusing isn’t it!). But on the other hand I am willfully glee, jumpy and excited at all the times….(now this is even more confusing!). I don’t know the reasons…or may be , I know and perhaps I do not want to “accept” them…hehehe.
Damn! Something is missing………

here's one to pune rains!!!! (and everything else)

So the rain has caused ample havoc in the city…well I think it is wrong to say that the rain caused a havoc, it is actually the infrastructure that gets immensely messed up when it rains (a tad heavier than normal)
I have in my life in Pune never seen rains so heavy (well in my life in Pune I have never seen such chaos either)
All I am seeing for over last 5 days is a heavy rain….leading to water logging thanks to ill planned roads and no contingency planning! A disaster when everyone leaves homes at the same time…..what I saw in terms of traffic says that! Jams that could make you feel miserable and that you cannot move a step ahead or back. Once you are stuck …then its like a victory when you make thru a few yards in an hour!
It looks so strange, the city looks like its been taken over by extended mass hysteria! (not that it normally does’nt look so, but considering the past few days it looks so! Only a degree higher)
Strange…inspite of the roads that sport potholes shamelessly, traffic that sucks! And all the irrational “human error” driven traffic jams…I am still in absolute love with this city!

Pics from Maval Srushti

Maval Srushti

So… I finally managed to have a weekend outing (well not the whole weekend out..just a day)
There’s this place called Maval Srushti (some people might be aware of this one by the name Girivan). I took office folks out for a day outing, with lots of fun and team building contests. It turned out well…much better than I expected it to be!
This place is set on a hill top, lush green forest, landscaped resort area and hell yeah! A waterfall too (well that was dry, thanks to rains …they have’nt been too good this year; barring yesterday which was a outta-nowhere more than a splitter splatter downfall!)
The journey from Pune to the place took us about one and a half hour. With people playing and singing in the bus, it was a happy ride! We reached and immediately went to the canteen to eat(damn we were hungry…and nothing better than good old “poha” the superb marathi way!) ; then a treasure hunt and some fun at the water fall…..and man! It was tiring… lunch was good too (we ate as if we had’nt eaten in years) A few more games and viola…time to leave.
It was a good outing all in all (but hell my health was a bit on the lower side, so I got deeply exhausted) and was having a real bad headache which did not go even with two Disprins!!!
But….yes it was indeed Amazing….
