You look beautiful Everyday #Life #Dance

It was 2 am in the night and Amayra was practicing her choreography in her college amphitheatre for the competition to be held in Elite, Kanpur. A perfectionist at heart, Amayra was cleaning each and every moves of hers so that she can be as graceful as possible on the stage.
Though She was excited but at the same time she was nervous. This was the first time she was representing her college at Elite, Kanpur and there was strong legacy of her college winning it every year. #Pressure #Life
She took some time off from her routine and sat down to relax.
Suddenly she heard a noise from backstage. Amayra became alert.
"Who is there? "
Amayra paused for a reply but nobody replied. She started listening to her track and heard the rattling of the empty cans again.
"Who the hell is there?"
"Hi, Hello, Sorry, Rajeev"
"Oh god! you scared me. What are you doing over there"
"Nothing"
"Nothing?"
"I was just passing by and I heard some music from here so I came by to see what was happening."
Amayra in her thoughts, "Yeah sure!"
Rajeev had a soft corner for Amarya since the first day of college and somewhere Amarya knew about it as well but she never responded to Rajeev's feelings.
Rajeev was an average looking guy but a man with intellect. On the contrary Amarya was the diva of the college. A very typical story!
But what makes these typical stories extraordinary are the people in it, the power of persuasion.
Rajeev was a very decent guy and had always approached Amayra as a good friend: simple and supportive!
Amarya had not acknowledged his liking but neither had she ignored it.
"You look tense"
"No"
"Yes, I think you do"
"Not exactly"
"Is it because of the competition?"
"Yeah a little"
"Feeling pressurized?"
"Damn! I am so tensed, you have no idea!"
Rajeev smiled at Amarya's innocence. This had always been there sweet little game where Rajeev understands Amarya even before she could acknowledge.
"Amarya you know what.People usually tell this to you that you were good that day or  this day,on the day you dance in front of them, though you practice everyday here in this theatre. I just want to tell you this not just today. Not just someday. I want to tell you this everyday!!".
Amayra for once forgot about everything and looked up into Rajeev's eyes. It was not the compliment but the honesty in his eyes that  made her DAY.

Be a GAME changer! #Life

Today again I was inspired!
Again, his poetry, his style, his creativity motivated me to write my own destiny.
It's not everyday that we come across such a man and even aspire to meet him, but yes I am lucky enough to even get mesmerised.
He's not my dream man but man of dreams, one and only 'piyush pandey'!!!
Many of you might not be familiar with his name  but trust me he is a big name when it comes to our day to day life. He comes into our living room everyday, talk to us for 30 seconds, convince us and leave.
30 seconds???
Yes, 30 seconds. He is the man behind many successful advertisements in India. To name few like cadbury-'Kuch baat hai zindagi mei', fevikwik, m-seal and many more.
From being a Ranjhi cricketer to an ad man. He's definitely the don draper of Indian advertisement.

Game is never over till the last ball 

The 'Hero'

Never Give up!! #Life

In this journey of life there are lots of ups and down:

*Sometimes people don't understand you and sometimes you don't understand them.

*Sometimes no matter how hard you work you never get to see the expected Results.

*Things just don't work out the way they should have.

*People will add to your misery knowingly or unknowingly.

*You have to smile when you don't even feel like.

*You see happy faces around and fails to know the reason for your sadness.

But amid all this always remember that.........

It's not over until you win!!!

     

Are you asking the right questions???

..............watch out this space for more!!!!

Here I come!

It feels like ages that I have blogged here. Well, in the life of a blogger even a gap of a couple of months seem like a year.

The regular readers of my blog have a decent idea of the topics that I have shared so far. It has always been about LIFE.

The journey would not be complete if I do not mention the life @MBA college. So let me take you through this one month of my MBA life, spent here in this far and distant land.

Yes, a distant land, thousands of miles away from home and civilisation, only to be connected by technology, the only window to the REAL world.

MBA was never going to be easy. Somewhere and somehow I knew this, but it was my dream to be here and yes, the dream did come true!

A month has just passed and my first term will end in few days.  And one thing I would never say is that I don't know how time flew. 

Yes! I came to know each and every passing second. The tight deadlines, humongous syllabus, presentations and the dreadful tests (and obviously the Results). The 5 hour luxury sleep , queues to wash-rooms and to top it off, how can  I not mention  about this humid weather.

Phew!!

But, whenever I look back at the life that I have led in these few weeks, I found these moments and this life to be far better and purposeful than ever before.

I might sound crazy to some people but this is what makes me feel the  most alive. My friends had complained a lot about this life and had compared it with other MBA colleges where the party fever is forever on and people have ample time for themselves and blah blah blah...

I was just amazed to discover that people have so many dreams and pursuing an MBA degree is just one of them.

Then I look at myself and ask myself why  I am so happy!?

I am happy because I am free, I have the liberty and the strength to decide and give direction to my life. Its not like that before this I never had this liberty (this is the sole reason I am in MBA) but this time its different. This time I know there would be less anticipation and more excitement (certainty) towards a bright future.

                                            

Daily dose of happiness

                                     

It was raining hard, I ran and stood under a tree. It was cold and I was feeling famished. Just then, I smelled the fragrance of  ginger tea and butter paranthas. It was like an oasis in desert. When I placed my hand inside my pocket, I found it empty.

I turned my head to a different direction, then suddenly it struck me, why not.

But soon another thought crossed my mind, "No, he's poor, its his bread and butter, he wont give it just like that". But.....

                         "If you don't ask, the answer is always no."

So, I asked, if it was fine to give me tea and parantha now and I would pay him later.

His words, "Why not".

I realised no matter how less or more one has, it should be the heart that needs to be big.

Super Morning!!!

War is Inevitable

In our day to day life, we face situations where we need to take concrete decisions. Sometimes these decisions are obvious and sometimes they are difficult to take.
Of all such difficult decisions I came across one where one has to stand up against ones's friend. Whenever we befriend someone or claim someone to be our friend that automatically means that we will always stand by our friend.

But does it hold true always?

I doubt, and am sure it takes lot of courage and strength to stand up against our friend with whom we have a special bond and doesn't want it to get ruined. We wont say we fear our friend but fear of losing the friend.

But can we still let our friend do whatever he/she wants even if jolts our conscience?

In 80% of the cases, people don't speak up against their friend. This is a sad truth, We just listen to our friend's grievances and don't actually get involved in it or provide suggestions which may help to improve our friend or the mental understanding. We generally don't consider, the idea of Making our friend realise that how not so correct he/she is and what should be done to improve.

Yesterday, someone I have known took the courage to stand up and confront his own friend for someone else. Sounds brave to me!

isnt it?

By not guiding our friend we only secure our friendship for moments or for days or months but when we support what is right rather than our friend , we actually support our friend.
