My Monday Morning..!!!

A ray of  hope with gleaming sunshine
A vision to lit the lucent mission,
A dream in half naked eyes,
A desire to conceive,
A firm belief  to rise high,
Marks the onset of  my Monday morning!

The flowers ready to bloom,
The birds waiting to chirp,
The dew all set to melt,
All thrilled to welcome Monday morning!

The words unsaid,
The thoughts unread,
The riddles to resolve,
The puzzles to unlock,
The determination to leave back ashes ruthless,
The aspiration  to start afresh,
Filled with new Hopes and Expectations arrives my Monday morning!

Desire to achieve the 'S' Factor!!!

And here ends the week long wait. My plate of Brunch is just incomplete without the Sunday Brunch. For years, Brunch has been making my Brunch spicy with a tint of masala which I can't resist any more.
The Personal Agenda being most revered section of all, I quickly flipped the pages .Ah, here comes the celeb of the week, the beautified persona 'Piggy Chops'. The one thing you want to change in yourself...my eyes went straight to the question number four. 'Hair', I heard my conscience speaking and you know this inner self  always speaks the truth, how bitter it may be. Yes, the very moment I think of my hair, I get submerged into the ocean of worry and fear.What not I've been doing in order to attain the 'S's. The shine,style,smoothness,silkiness,and to keep pace with this emerging fashion the biggest 'S' of all -Straightness.
What these girls do to their hair, what pious tonic they apply, I just keep on wondering.
Have been running from door to door, visiting all consultants from Mr. Habib to Ms. Luthra. Exhibiting a sincere attitude, have used  wide range of hair grooming material - shampoos, conditioners, masks, serum as per recommendation.But, my hair needs some magic wand to be rolled upon.
And, do you also think on similar lines like my mom ? She thinks that, I'm least bothered to care for my hair, according to her there are enough of natural remedies to be used in order to get the hair straightened and smoothen, and she is just hard to convince for any of these chemical oriented treatments,  as per her these are just meant to damage the nature's gift. Oh, to hell with this gift. Let me tell you, how much efforts I've put in for gaining the 'S' factor, and still all your tips and suggestions are most welcome, I beg of these.
I've tried the craziest and wierdest existing idea that has emerged into this brain factory, with complete help from the various sources I've known. But Alas, all my experiments turned out to be futile so far.
Have been a true Tech-savvy in this context, using all medium of techno networking available at glance, ranging from all sorts of electronic, digital to paper media.
The Internet being most reliable of all sources, gave me an endless list of remedies , going through each I dreamt of straight, smooth and silky hair, the perfection for which I've been longing for.
But, useless.I tell you, all these posts in 'Search' context are meant  to fool the innocent faces like me. Sigh..!
Not even a single known magazine I've left so far, It seems everything in this world can be summarized to3M - money making medium.

Our very own God- the Google who claims to know every single thing in this world, says- Honey - It works as wonder - the natural hair straightener. Apply honey to hair strands,leave it to dry, go for a hair wash and you'll be amazed by the results. Yes, you were true , results just left me surprised and shocked. All I was left was with glu on my hair, the stickiness took days to get off. huh!

 'Fasting and Yoga for straight long smooth hair'  read the Title of  the monthly edition of Nirogdham's article.Fasting for hair, sounds foolish, isn't it?

Me being a great foodie, fasting and me are just opposite poles, but when it comes to my hair how could I ignore this mantra.And exercise, am a big lazy bone, but hair, I want them as shiny and straight. The regime constituted living on a salt free,sugar less diet for a month, skipping a meal every Tuesday , and doing Headstands - an yoga posture - position lowering  head below your body--several times daily (15 minutes each time). I was filled with so much of enthusiasm that I continued the entire activity for 2 months, but sad, all mighty efforts in vein. Not in vein actually, as definitely it must have helped stimulating other parts of body.

Laying down in such a way that your hair fall on an iron table, and ironing the hair. This sounded a bit illogical but technically good idea. My mom came screaming with all force from the world, "Ironing your hair, gosh you are going to burn your head now". I know mom, this sounded little vague to me as well but this is all chemical free and with no cost associated and see I've started caring for my hair, I need to straighten them.But to an amateur like me, this one came with a little of straightening effect but not any of the other  'S' factors and even missing the quality of straightening I wished. Believe me, I've no guts to give it a try for the second time, requires a huge expertise to put the hot iron on your head.

Let your hair lose and do some jumping and hip-hopping. The air in the surrounding will make your hair go straight  leaving them silky as ever. Laughing out loud, don't remember from where I got this tip, but was worth a try. 

'What you eat is what you are' I quoted somewhere and have heard it holds true for your body and skin, then it should apply to your hair as well, I pondered. Noodles, the very next thing striked me, and to add to it my mind started picturing Chinese girls, how straight and smooth hair all of them have. God, I figured out the reason, there was no limit to my excitement. Noodles,noodles and noodles, how on the earth these china folks survive, munching noodles may or may not give noodles shape to my hair but led to a severe impact on my digestive tract.


And thus the list of my wacky experiments with my hair  goes on and on.
Of  lately , have heard that 'Sunsilk' who believes that 'Life can't wait' is about to come up with Hair straightening solution in order to end my wait. Fingers crossed, my last hope!!! Just waiting for the Sunsilk Expert Range to hit the Indian stores.
All I desire is the 'S' Factor. Am I really too demanding ??

Oh God please help me!

This Post was intended for Sunsilk 'The Straight hair Experiment Contest' on Indiblogger. , but some how I missed the deadline. Never-mind :)

Risking---Mantra of Life!

Amidst the peaks and valleys,
Browsing through highs and lows of Life
craving for that very strike of success
the path is not as evident as it shows
duality it offers to chose
Risk is in which optimism you should owe
Fear never Ventures any
Learn to play with adventures
Feat and Defeat  should not be the reason to aback
for each has a substantial dominance
never reckoning to aftermath of regret and bruise
evolving with the tower of learning
in the end, you'll be the one
upholding the beacon of triumph..!

I live with your vision!

Sighting  through you,the world in whole

I've been living my years with you

Together we've seen the times and tides

the glory of shine and hue.

Since the days of my innocence  

you came in as spirit of togetherness

adding a magic to my vision,

just raising my perception

playing with you  as fancy,

treating you as a blessing,
as you became the essence of my survival,
attached to the tag of my identity.

have grown with you, owing you as a adored possession

for you,  i ought to have an obsession 

you gonna show me entire sphere,

you gonna bring hopes to my dreams and desires,

you gonna make my mission clear.

Thanks in plenty for being with me,

 promising to be my persistent part

for taking me on the ride to explore this universe,

for showing me mighty's  enchanting creation,

for making me live this life with your vision,
for you are my true companion,my dainty spectacles.!

Donate Blood...Save Life...Make a Difference...!!!

Have you ever thought that you can help in saving a life. Yes, you can really be a saviour for someone counting breaths. Doesn't this sound something miraculous. Many of you must have been donating blood from time to time or as required. But I still feel we need to spread the awareness among the lot. This reminds me of a saying - 'Be a blood and organ donor. All it costs is a little love'. What if we can spread some kindness, which in turn can make a difference in some one's life. Believe me, the feeling is marvelous, a deed done totally out of generosity and goodness, for the welfare of others. I experienced the same recently, though for the very first time. Found that, have really missed something. Just reciprocating my feelings and perception over here. All you need to be hale and hearty, and must thank the mighty for blessing you with supreme health. Let's make an attempt to gift a life to some one who is solely striving for it.Believe me the feeling of giving is different within itself, so why deprived from such a benevolent act. Give a thought..:)
Stay Healthy. Save Life..!

INBOX

Integral essence of day,
lying there quantum of letters read and unread
News from all spheres, morning messages , jokes to laugh ,
and information momentous it encloses
Bridging the gap between miles,
marking the tip and toe of a day
Ongoing action of composing and receiving,
running round the clock,checking from time to time
Xeroxing or scribbling, Creativity to compass,
articulating thoughts new , wait n hope keep it alive..!

An Attempt to Make a Difference, A Desire to bring smile...

An Attempt to Make a Difference, A Desire to bring smile... Yes, this was the mere thought that drove me towards the program - 'U-CARE Friendship Program'. Much Thanks to my organization for giving me such a striking opportunity, a scope to enlighten few hearts , a chance to meet few kids from 'Vidya' - a NGO School. All it required is to charge those naive faces with the spark of confidence, with the wings of courage..to nourish their dreams , to up bring their desires..!
Every fortnight, how I urge to get an hour out of my monotonous work schedule, to meet those faces, to mentor those tiny tots. Can't express the smile they bear, the innocence they outburst with. It gives me a feeling of immense satisfaction, an sense of doing something, by putting in bare minimum efforts though. Believe me, these kids have enough in them, the talent to outburst, the only thing they need is to show them a ray of hope, an illusion of right direction.
To showcase, I've an instance. How the loud voiced ambitious learners demanded every one's attention , the words are still dancing in my head, enough they had to share about their experience, with us so far. Leaving behind the hesitation, each one could stand to address the class.
"I love this place. My knowledge has increased .I've learnt tenses, mmm gk, and states. My didi name is Madhu didi. She teach us very well. She makes sure we understand everything. never scolded us. I love to study."
Wow. I feel so glad to hear those words from one of the 6th grade trio of my group.Earning those words is superb, but trust me nothing I have done is out of the world.no struggle, no sweat.
Anything you dislike about this place : "hmmm..yes 1 thing . (ceegrate peena.. what it is called ? ..smoking,I replied). When we came i saw few people near gate smoking. it looks very bad."
Just imagine, how sharp they are to sense the fact.
Can we say something to every one..the chorus blew up: "We wish you and your family a very happy Diwali. We love you all".
Lost was the stumbling and so was the shyness.

Love you little kids..!!!
Proud to be associated with you all..!!!
Keep going and God bless...!!!

All we need is to infuse more spirit and spread more smiles. To touch few hearts and to shower the kindness.To teach in few and to learn a lot. A minute effort to make a difference, an utmost desire to inspire some one dream high.

Let us come together and do something to Make some difference.
Reiterate the great words by Mahatma -
"Be the change you want to see in the world"

Let us spread the aura of love and compassion all around.
Reminds me of lines by Hannah Moore
"Love never reasons but profusely gives; gives, like a thoughtless prodigal,
its all, and trembles lest it has done too little."

So, why not we can make a an effort to give something to our society , a bit of what we have achieved.A sense of giving is something that soothes us at the end of the day, isn't it?

SBT City Walk..An Experience to quote..!!!

Have you ever thought of walking down across the streets of Delhi and that too in an early hour of Sunday morning. Yes we were wide awake, to experience the break of dawn. The purpose was to cherish the rising dreams visible in the eyes of a young street boy, the dreams as vibrant as those city lanes he took us to. The walk was supposed to be led by the guide of the day -Ajay alias Max-as he loves to be called as. The journey started through the backstreets of Delhi, followed by his experiences, his attachment with the place as couple of his childhood years were spent on the same streets. What bought him there, how he'd spent his life , what odds he'd faced, how and what led to transformation in his life, were some tit-bits of instances being shared by him. So it was more of a walk towards the memory lane for him, 'Walking the past in the present'.

Ajay was one among those thousands who chose railway station as a mere shelter for them, having no clue of home or family. Drug addiction, starvation, pick-pocketing were something that came as part and parcel for Max during that period of life. As it's well said that 'every dog has it's day', there came a turning point in his life. His face shone with glitter of pride as he mentioned how SBT discovered him. Max continued by telling about his transformation from a drug addict then, to a chocolate lover now, from bullying around then to spending his hours in learning now. Yes, he is entirely transformed, a change leading to betterment of society, a change which could be felt. Ajay has a strong mission now, the power to chase his dreams. He has left behind his past and moving forward, not only earning today but studying and learning foreign languages as well, which was highly remarkable and solely motivating for us. A clear vision could be seen in his eyes when he told his dream to become a train driver, owing to his deep attachment for providing him roof. His deterministic attitude while sharing his future plan to go abroad for higher studies, is something worth mentioning. His words were an eye-opener for us, his story was a spark enough to ignite us. The way he expressed, the confidence he carried, the smile throughout on his face was enough to leave a strong imprint on everyone's heart.

Followed by few more streets, railway station of course, he took us to one of SBT's shelter homes for small children. It was an awful experience, seeing such small children over there, those innocent faces, all clueless and homeless, surely insisted us to think about the cruelty of life. It was a totally incomparable experience, spending some time with those 'bundle of joys' who splashed the aura with their talents.

SBT, you deserve an applause for restoring the world of childhood, taking them from a dark end towards the brightness of new learning, showing a ray of new hope.This is indeed a marvelous effort.!!!

P.S. - 'Salam Balak Trust' City Walk is a program that aims at making us aware about the street life through the stories of street children who'd lived their lives through these streets, and thus it's a unique way of providing an insight into the lives of these children and an opportunity for them to improve their communication and speaking skills.

Carefree juggling of feet
Inching with rhythmic beat
Narrowing the distances apart
Glorious tunes to spark...

Ethics

Inculcated morals
build upon trust,respect and integrity
Reflecting self, conscience speaking
Leading to a win in life's race..!!!

My sleep is what I miss..!!!

Couching on my velvet chair,
Feeling restless,lost elsewhere,
Amidst all snoring hiss,
My sleep is what I miss.

Shaping my castle of dreams,
Building my thoughts on themes,
Yearning to rise in bliss,
My sleep is what I miss.

Draining out the clutter from mind,
Thinking of words to bind,
Ignoring the airy kiss,
My Sleep is what I miss.

Silent night,wandering through the globe,
Wearing the gloomy robe,
Awful is this remiss,
My sleep is what I miss...!!!

Opportunity..!!!

Every strike on the door,
envisaged as a golden opportunity,
arriving from heaven's pathway,
adorning the alluring dreams,
enriching the glitter in vision,
demanding a strong seize..!!!

Single Talks..:)

Wings of freedom,
embracing the leisure of loose,
grooving upon the solace,
enchanting with myself..!!!

Happy Birthday .... To me

Special lines for me from some special buddies :)

Turn a Blind Eye

Trashed to survive
Unborn feeble life
Ripples of dreams
Naked all breached

Attacked to death

Blind, you beast
Lurking from law
Inhuman,you human
Nerd,provoking bane
Daughter is boon

Elicit all compassion
Yield her life
Escort to birth

Wintry Sparks..;)

Frosty Chill, and
Freezing shiver
Oh ,this winter severe,
is hard to beat.

Waves of quiver,
Thunder blast,and
cloudburst of rain,
wintry terror has
much to shower.

Cozy comfy blanket
to cuddle, and
hot sip to sup,
until this chilly breeze,
brisks away with drift.

Frozen hands,and stiff fingers,
couching words,losing trigger,
but my utmost desire,
giving them shape,
I wish to be a poetic sage..:)

VOICES

Vocal lingual expression
Often heard aloud
Immeasurable softness filled
Cracking at times
Ears to reach
Sound of self
