"Nothing in the World is so strong as a kind heart"- Burnett

Good Morning to all!!

Its the 29th of march 2012.. The Month of Hope is on an end and i must say it has been quite an eventful one .. needless to say frought with difficulties and difficult people and difficult situations to handle .. ENOUGH of the difficult difficult lemon difficlut ..lets ease it all up! :)

Well the past days have been eventful as I said, but more so they have made me realise so many things from beleiving in yourself, and also something very funny- that the moment we start acting confident, it just makes the other person pee in their pants (or skirt, for women! :P) but its strange how the world is like a dagger across your neck ..or rather an Albatross .. my tweets of this week has been about the adversity of living in a world which is bad, yet you uphold morals and a sound philosophy in your heart and somehow i still beleive that follwoing the path of the correct and the good and the just and the true is the one that i will follow through to the very end, NO MATTER if the world leaves you and you are the one left all by yourself ..

it just mkes me beleive that to join forces with the negative and the worst and the slanderous is the MOST EASIEST thing to do in this world.. it takes COURAGE and HUMAN REVOLUTION to do and to stand up for what is right.. my mentor has taught me that through his own example as also from the examples of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King.

Also, through him i was exposed to the world of Edmond Dantes in the novel- Count of Monte Cristo that i so dearly love .. and so comes from my heart the gratitude towards my mentor and the philosophy that i uphold, leading to an even fiercer determination to prove the validity of the law in my life as also to prove it to myself that i am on the correctpath.

last night, i came across these lines- "How heartless is the transience of this world!" and it INDEED IS SO TRUE.. i wonder why human beings cannot realise this fact and stay in peace with each other ..

I also was told a day back that- "Time will tell that the sufferings were worth it".. powerful courage did well up in my heart confirming to myself yet again that I am on the right path and i should be proud of myself to go through, battle and raise the banner of vistory in my life.

there does come a time when we look back to see what we have done and what has happened was right or not, what others did to us and what we did to them was right to them or not, and it just comes to me that if we are good, if we uphold morals and if we are walking on the right path without hurting somebody else, or to even set the record straight for that matter, i will never doubt the path that i have chosen for myself..

right now i was listening to this song- Price Tag by JessieJ and i must say it was this song that made me come back to my blog today ..
she sings- "we want to make the world dance, forget  about the price tag ...why is everybody so obsessed,,money cant buy us happiness .. seems everybodys got a price, i wonder how they sleep at night..why is everybody so serious, acting so damn mysterious, you have shades on your eyes and heels so high that you cant even have a good time.. can you feel that yeah, we are playing with love* tonight"

{{*do read the last post on Larger>Life to know what i mean by love dated 2nd march 2012.}}

these lines really reverberate in my heart.. they really reconfirm to me that money or appearances are nothing but a death of a desire to accumulate the treasures of the heart and ones individuality respectively ... it also has made me again beleive that giving our life for the shallow will make our life EXACTLY JUST THAT- shallow and transient ...its so easy and fanciful to live in the fantasies of owning great things and being great people and going to great balls and parties, BUT TRUST ME true greatness lies in how many people have i been able to make them beleive in themselves, how many treasures have i accumulated in my heart, how many times have i used my head, my hands and my heart for the sake of others' happiness (this line is from the novel by Thomas Hardy- Tess of the D'Urbervilles).

also, yesterday was LadyGaga's birthday .. prejudices of others aside, i really respect the woman to have written an sung a song that topped the charts- BORN THIS WAY, i would call the song an Ode to Everyone on this planet.. her lines- "dont be a drag just be a queen, even if you are broke or evergreen" and "i am beautiful in my way, coz God makes no mistakes, i am on right track baby i was born this way" "we are all born superstars" and "dont hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you are set" .. the most beautiful are the follwoing-

"whether life's disabilities
left you outcast, bullied or teased,
rejoice and love yorself today,
coz babay you were born this way"

her song still and i think forever will beat in my heart..

 a friend of mine told me last night- there are two kinds of people in this world- those who do and those who talk. if both you are able to do, then you have raised a victory cheer for yourself staying true to your words and your ideals provong all thorugh your actions and for all to hear!

so today, i declare for all to hear, that in no matter what circumstances you find yourself in, just beleive in yourself and in the kindness of your heart, and never doubt the path that you have chose to walk upon.. just keep on pressing ahead even if people have scorn in their words and hate in their eyes, just be proud of yourself and your struggles and keep on doing what the right, the just and the true you think it to be.

the law of cause and effect is indeed strict and uncompromising, its an inevitable reality, one that faces everyone and from which nobody is spared, it is the law and rhythm of nature itself.. (i am reminded of what goes around, comes back around by Jsutin Timberlakes song)

beleive in the power of good, as Premchand has said that -good has not been lost in this wordl, just submerged in the reality of the calumnous, deceiving society we are living in ..
BE THE ONE TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THAT GOODNESS AGAIN THAT HAS BEEN SUBMERGED IN THE HARSH REALITIES OF TODAYS SOCIETY.

i wrote a day back on my twitter page that- "calumny, slander, lies and deception are a reality of the society we are living in. to be or not to be a part of it will alwys be an intricate choice you make, and thats where will lie the essential difference."

Good Morning to all again, and have  agreat great day ahead.. give that joy you possess as your treasure to someone else! :)

Larger > Life

Hello to all!

its the 2nd of march of 2012, and i just made my way to office and just had breakfast.. its a beautiful day, a beautiful feeling inside so much so that i can feel it in the depths of me ... i feel the sun is shining upon me ..!

Like always, my mother did brag about my clothes' choices and all,and how i donot care. but i so feel that no matter what one wears, it is the richness of the heart that matters. and also, that it does not even matter what one wears but a smile is for sure the best thing anybody can wear! :)
( by the way i am just 22 and still learning the ways of dressing up and all.. in that transition from a girl to a woman, and all that)

Of late, i had been thinking a lot about the ways of the world and people pleasing skills ( a topic that came through to discussion a few days back at work with a few oh-so-materialistic-brand hungry fellow interns) but the way the latter one is phrased is just so artificial! and for a fact it has never and shall never become a part of me. EVER.

So coming back to where i was, while I made my way to office, i was listening to 943 FM (of my god how much i love this new station called - INTERNATIONAL RADIO) and a song came that me and my cousins used to hear a lot when we were kids, no. teens precisely!

(there were so many artists that i as a kid used to listen to on casettes and every birthday there used to be a demand from papa to but me a new walkman and how in about a year they all used to get worn out or spoilt! these great people were Backstreet Boys, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, oh! Peter Andre, and Enrique Iglesias- a poster of his from his "Addicted" album that me and my sister got free from planet m when we bought his cassette is still there with me in absolutely good shape! .. i was marvelling today in the morning en route at the fact that how the songs of the 90s had an innocence about them.. they used to talk about promises of love, turn around and i will be two steps behind..when "Its my life" by Bon Jovi came, there was a smell of rebel in it and how we loved singing it at the top of our voices .. "That dont impress me much" by Shania Twain made us act like pricey women behind whom were so many guys- oh we loved to think likre that! ;) and FINALLY, the song that me and my sister loved a lot was - HERO By Enrique .. he he .. there is a smile already on my face when i am writitng about it ..and how these songs used to have words like "forever" and "always" and "love you" and starkly different to songs like "now now now" and "tonight"! !! makes me wonder the aspirations and thoughts that seem to signify a casual attitude towards love these days!)
COMING BACK TO WHERE I WAS!! (sorry!!)
This song was "Larger than Life: by Backstreet Boys! and the lyrics came through as-

"all you people cant you see cant you see
how your love is affecting our reality
everytime its down you can make it right
and that makes you larger than life"

as these lines were ringin' through my ears it just made so much sense that no matter how horrible the world is around you, its upto YOU to uphold that humanity in your heart or lose it. i felt to have listened to this song when i was growing up. but the feeling that inside me was- "thats how it has to be, thats how it had to be, thats how i had grown up and this was not how i ended up being".

That its just okay the way you are and if at all, somebody comes along the way and is glad enough to have found you that way, then you can say you've lived it all! and even if not, we ourselves are the greatest treasures, and its just so wonderful to just be alive and breathe and see the sun everyday and smile to all!!

so go ahead, give that "love" that the lyrics just spoke about .. you will see it "affect your reality" amazingly and you will realize that what you could not see, was something beautiful within your own self, and that was something larger >life!

Good Morning to all and do have a great day ahead all of you, each one of you, awesomre people out there! i must get to work now!
