Guzre din

Woh roj school se aana
Fir galliyon mein adda jamana
Woh padosi ke Khadus aunty ki deewar
Woh aate jaate rickshaw pe hojana sawaar
Woh curfew wale din
Jab cricket mein sab bante sachin
Chura kar late the padosi ke amrudh aur aam
Aur dekh kar koi kehta "yeh aaj ke bachche, ram ram ram" ;)
Woh galli mein khidki se hote ishaare
Aur jab phut te the hasi ke phuware
Kya hasin yaadein hai kya hasin the woh din
Jaane kahan gaye woh galliyan
Jaane kahan gaye woh log
Kahin aisa toh nahi ki badal gayi galliyan aur badal gaye humlog!

Perception - Of self

Yet another day when the mother of all issues is my own self perception.

I might be one of the chirpiest ones with positive energy over flowing at all times but when I am surrounded by a world of negative thoughts and people who constantly keep listing my faults,  there comes a time when I tend to get into the "Am I really such a failure? " mode. The most common cause of plunging into depression.

This is just about the time when I need to get a hold of my own perception. I begin to tell myself, no matter who says it and what I am being made to accept in terms of my "you are no good at" list, I refuse to let myself down to the pressure.  I refuse to let go of the control on my own self perception. I try not to fight back but fight with my own perception if I begin to start having any doubts about my self esteem.

No one's made perfect in this world and the definition of perfection might be perceived differently by each one of us. So I am not aiming for perfection but just that which keeps me happy.

It's not an easy task to ignore the constant bickering. It makes me wonder what anyone gains from criticism of others,  especially when it is someone you claim to love. Constantly badgering the person's self worth and making them feel like complete losers....Ha! Amazing!  If that's called harbouring a good will towards someone then I would rather not be at the receiving end of such good will.

For today, my perception was shaken up enough for me to vent this off on my blogger desk but I am not looking at yet another sob session like this...

Perception-The mother of all issues!

Each person has his or her own perspective on the same issue and both can be right in their own ways!
That's life!

Pressure cooker whistles finally!

Never did the all familiar and irritating sound of the Indian pressure cooker, seem so endearing to my ears...

After a month of induction cooking, finally the kitchen became all functional with the gas and water connections.

What was supposed to be a blessed and joyous feel of moving into our new home was sadly turned into an agonizing wait and misery over a conned affair.

I wonder how we became the gullible victims and hate every bit of the wretched time. But having said that, I will make sure no one runs off with my hard earned moolah. If someone wants easy money, they are definitely not getting it out of my pocket!

So be it! If this means going after the contractor and making visits to police stations or taking the B*****D to court, then thats what it will be. This was the only missing bit we didn't yet do in the la la land...so be it!

Home sweet home!

Sheer exhaustion from all the stress of packing & moving, tired to the bones, cramps in the calf muscles from all the fatigue, (the list is endless), yet there is contentment & joy of living my first day in a home built from our hard earned money!

Spent a successful first day in our new home...

of people...

Hmm, wondering if the title should be "of people" or should it just be "me about people" :)

Yet again at that point in life where a trusted (can't really say that) bond has broken, a known friend has been added to the "no longer exists" category. Well nothing new there. You can't keep every one happy at all times....

Out of life, out of sight and out of mind.....Mission finished!

I don't know why these things don't affect me anymore. Not that they would do me any good if they did affect me.. ;)

I have reached a point where I just shrug these situations off, never to think about these people again.

Jo saath hai, unka saath amoolya hai, aur jo chale gaye, kissa khatam!

Just walls & floor

In the middle of packing and a ton of other stuff to oversee, here I am at a place I can call "my home".

The walls are done & wood finish on the floor is polished. There's a strong lingering smell of paint & turpentine. No furniture yet. S & s have gone off to fetch a locksmith, leaving me behind. With nothing much left for me to do, the thought of squatting on the freshly polished floor was too good to miss :)

Just a week left before we move in to our home. I am full of ideas but to get them into shape  is going to take
some time & a lot of our savings :(
