Heaven Above- Te amo

Tum ho tu gata hai dil
Tum ho tu hawa mein bhi mohabatein ka rang hai
Tum ho tu rahein bhi hain
Tum nahi tu rastein kahan
Tum ho tu yahan sab hi hain
Tum nahi tu kaun yahan
Tum ho tu hai har pal mehrban ye
Tum Mile tu milli ye zindagi




Yesterday for the first time I accidently heard the complete song from the movie "Rock On". It reminded or rather brought forth the reality that there are certain stages or times in one's lives when no matter how strong or independent one is as an indiviual we all yearn for a certain "Special Someone" .

The Special Someone with whom our entire world is spinning round and round, the path on which the two walk is the same, every moment whether good or bad or worse is lived together, whose presence is as beautiful as a wonderful dream, with whom after days/months/years the journey is mesmerising and fills the world around, whose presence fills the whole room & everything around, with whom you can share & celebrate your birthday, anniversarys,cat fight days, cribbing days, wonderful days & nights and entire bag of occassion

Actually with whom the World is Here .. Right Now !!
Actually with someone the World is Love... Right Now !!

Special Someone's mostly fall from Heaven & the walk of life gets easier than it never seemed--- is what I was told as a kid :)

Main Tenu Samjhwavan Ki

Ve changa nahiyo kitta biba dil mera thod ke
Ve bada pachytaya tha tere naal Jod ke

Dance of Freedom

She is made to realise that she neither has any acting skills nor musical skills nor the self confidence.Alice does her small magical performance and expresses herself through a ballet dance. It was Alice who got Hana introduced to the Ballet dance which help Hana get rid of the shell she has been enclosed in, becoming the person she is today.

Just yesterday was watching the " Ballet Dance " of Alice from Hana and Alice I was again mesmerized for the nth time.

The dance reminds me of the " dance of freedom" which just like the "ballet dance" signifies freedom from constraints, relishing harmony and balance within oneself, working in co-operation with one's ownself. It signifies that no matter how high or low your state or how uncontrollable, it is the balance within which will slowly and steadily make you centered ( just like the

Dance of freedom is the frivolity, happiness, your own magic which managed to touch you like warm ray of sunshine touching your face...

A msytery unthinkable
Now to live is the life of my soul
A Fall just to save my soul
Come come all the lost and found
We're gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
Cos the freedom we know is gonna Last forever & here to stay

Namma Usiru (Life)- All Good Things -1

Me & Aps were chit chatting in the Auto rickshaw on the way to the Brigade Road, this day also happens to be the one when I had a temperature of 102 deg F ( Now Imagine how deseperate one can be for be shopping that any escape from Work turns one in to a Retail Therapy propogator)

Me - Arrey Only Rs 40. from Location K to Brige Road
Rick Guy 1 ( about 60 years old)- Yes Madam, this Rs. 40 is what I will charge you
Me ( Shocked))- Uncle... ( Pausing)... but havent the rates changed
Rick Guy 1- Yes Madam, I dont have the new rate card, So I cannot charge you people extra
Me- ( More Shocked), Aps ( Shocked)
Rick Guy 1- Dont worry madam dont feel bad, please give me Rs. 40. I cannot cheat
Me ( Super Shocked, short of words)- Please calculate based on the new Rate how much do we pay.
Rick Guy 1 ( Did Some calculation)- Okay Madam if you insist its Rs. 50
Me ( Super Duper shocked)- Okay please take Rs. 50
Rick Guy 1- Thank you madam
Me ( Absolutely Shocked)- Uncle Please take extra Rs.5
Rick Guy 1- No Madam
Me ( About to Faint)- Please Uncle Please take Extra Rs. 5 ( which he takes), I have never ever met a Rick Shaw Driver as Honest & Sincere as you. I dont have words you certainly deserve an Award. You are great, its very difficult to find people like you especailly in this corrupted Auto rickshaw driver's world. If ever you need any help please let me know.
Rick Guy 1 ( sheepishly smiling)- Thank you Madam, Nice to hear such words ( as he about to leave)

As I was walking on the busy lane of Brigade Road, it brought a smile & made me teary eyes with happiness i.e: there are still people who live by Principles. In this world where dear/ loved ones, lovers , friends cheat & break promises & trust. Today there was this RickShaw Driver who told me "Yes - Trust, Committment & Values exist and are not mere words "

Thank You very Much Mr. Abdul, it was wonderful riding in your AutRickshaw

STAND BACK - In the middle of the room

It's time to face up to the fact that the past is gone, and any effort to repeat it is a sure way to stay stuck in old blueprints that you would have already outgrown if you hadn't been so busy clinging to what you have already been through. Take a deep breath, put the box down, tie it up in a pretty ribbon if you must, and bid it a fond and reverent farewell. Life is passing you by, and you're in danger of becoming an old fossil before your time- (apparently which I am reminded of time and time again in some form or the other)

In all this ho hum of "past spaces" there is another almost abandoned space " Wait" In silence and waiting something inside you goes on growing--your authentic being. And one day it jumps and becomes a flame, and your whole personality is shattered; you are a new being. And this new being knows what ceremony is, this new being knows life's eternity ........MY ETERNAL BLISS....

WAIT FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT....STAND BACK ... SOMETIMES its alright to stand in the line :)

Last two weeks were an endless marathon in fighting with every 2nd autowala for a ride ( not a free but a paid ride)

Day 1
Me- Will you go to S Location?
AutoWala 1- Yes Madam, but 20 Rupees extra
Me- Why Extra ?
Autowala- Traffic, its raining & a trend now for you IT people to give extra money
Me- No , I will not give you extra money
Autowala- Okay madam I will take you to S Location
Me- Enjoying the 35 min auto ride, when the Auto stops in the middle of the ride at a secluded spot.
Autowala- Madam you will have to give me 100 Rupees otherwise I will not take you any further
Me- Okay I will get down from yor rick, but I am calling the police
Autowala - Madam who the hell are you to call the police and runs away
Me- Standing on the road feeling upset after a huge fight with the auto wala- early morning drainage

Day 2
Me - will you go to S Location?
Autowala- Madam 120 rupees
Me- Nope 50 rupees by meter, why do I pay you 120 rupees!!
Autowala- No Madam I will not take you .
Me- Okay Okay,10 rupees extra on meter
Autowala- Okay
Me when reached the destination, the meter shows 90 rupees since it was tampered
Me- Super shocked- Boss whats this?
AUtowala- Yes Madam you will have to give me 100 rupees now
Me- No, u tampered with your meter
Autowala- No gimme 100 Rs.
Me- after giving him Rs. 100 felt upset & cheated

Day 3
Me- Will you go to S Location
Autowala- No
Me- reaches to the traffic guy- Sir the autowala is refusing to go to S Location
Traffic Guy- So madam what should I do, get a car for you!!
Me- Excuse me you are the traffic guy you are supposed to help me
Traffic Guy- Go Go dont waste time
Me- I will call the traffic guys and complaint
Traffic Guy & Autowala- Laughing
Me- crossing the road and nearly in tears- cant I get one auto.

These everyday fights with autowalas are draining me down, they spoil my mood in the morning & in turn the entire day, wonder what is happening to Bangalore !!
It was such a pleasant experience when I arrived here few years back today it seems to be a different story.
Bangalore Whats happening !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
