Love is, what happens when you are around!

 Love is;
        Kissing with morning breath,

Love is;
        Brushing teeth in unison,

Love is;
        One cleans one cooks,

Love is;
        Eskimo kisses in firelight,

Love is;
        His and her dressing gowns,

Love is;
        Pictures together adorned walls,

Love is;
        Continuously sought after by many,

Love is;
        As real as the tooth fairy,

Love is;

        You.

With this love wrapped post, I wrap up my this year; with my shares of joys, wishes and some special people that I got to know. I'd like to thank you for reading, being here and being so supportive always and expect you to be around, forever. Wishing everyone a very Happy and love-filled New Year! Signing off with a wonderful quote by Sydney Smith:

"Resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment"

We will walk hand in hand; Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall live in peace someday.

The greatest tragedy of the world is that people should have grossly more wealth than they will ever need. The predicament of the homeless to the average citizen is that they end up doing nothing. People aren't going to invite them into their homes. They aren't going to give them money, because they'll waste it on alcohol, smokes or drugs; yet another problem of society. So instead, all we end up giving the people living on the streets is a glance. There are homeless shelters and meals, and volunteers who give up their time, but we do little to help those who come within our immediate experience. I live in a home and comfort, but never have I done anything substantial. But the fact remains that I, you and most of us can do more, much more!

 

Looking out of a window one day in Mayapur, a village near Calcutta, His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (founder of The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) saw a group of children fighting with street dogs over scraps of food. From this simple, yet heart breaking incident, came the determination that:  No one within a ten mile radius of our center should go hungry. It is his inspiration which helped  creating The Akshaya Patra Foundation which is reaching out to 1.2 million children everyday.

You can contribute by donating, blogging about the cause or creating an awareness and by awakening the sleeping souls! Lets be a part of the change; lets be a part of Akshay Patra and the vision - “No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger”

Awesome ways to look awful!

When it comes to fashion and trends, we all want the same thing: to look great! FORTUNATELY, there are some fashion errors that we might not be aware of, but that we SHOULD practice. These fashion faux pas are visible, and can completely ruin a perfectly good outfit. Here I’ve listed the top fashion mistakes that we should make, often.


1. Wearing oversized clothing.
2. Wearing red, yellow and green at the same time.
3. Tights if you are fatter then the universe's size!
4. Sneakers with everything, yes even with your office formals!

5. Wear a suit jacket with a pair of shorts.

6. On a date, wear as much as possible, you never know! 

7. We are men, and we should avoid moisturizers; yes even if it's freezing!

8. Do as much Cologne or Perfume to make you act as a sanitizer!

9. Bushy and unkempt facial hair is a must for awfulness! 

That's it for now! But on a serious note if you really want to look good and that too at a price which wouldn't burn a hole in your pocket, you should check out Brandmile.

Be stylish and smart too! 

Transmute, muddle or ignore, love can never be pulled out of you!

I was standing calm and still
somewhere crowded
when I noticed her playful smile
standing still, right next to me
looking at me
with those teasing eyes..

I didn't know her so I ignored her

She said, after a while
"You just don't get it, do you?"

Pretending composed, I said
"What's to get?"

"Me" she answered

"I'm sorry, who are you again?"
"Exactly" she said and walked away

That was few moments ago

I'm still standing here!

Songs of Mind, Tunes of Heart

I revolve around the past knowing that - it won’t help!
But this is a game of life where;

Heart tunes its own beats,
And mind sings its own story,
I find myself stuck somewhere;
Between hither and thither.

The Heart:

Paints compassion and commitment,
Reveals the love within -
Still as fresh as a new print!
Somewhere beyond my pride,
Deep inside,
It holds a secret desire - so intense,
Of holding you tight,
And cherishing the right,
For a need;
To call you – My  Own!

The Mind:

Debates I am through,
And done with you.
Says no more of YOU!
No longer you hold –
The special place;
And powers,
To crush me and willow me.
I shall win again; the game of life,
Leaving those feelings ripped apart.
Whatever be the bygone,
The present is; what it is!

Here, this moment, the story of my life –
Good times come like wind and swap like it were never before.
Making me struggle between the thriving aspirations and truths of life, I wonder what agony or what laughter it is. Yet I adore it.

Life is pain,
Yet life is gain,
Life is apathy.
Yet life is love,
Life is disgraceful,
Yet life is wonderful,
Life is a game,
It’s all good,
That is the way it is!

Nidhi Gandhi wrote this thought provoking post. I started knowing her since only sometime and is now one of the sweetest friend I have. She writes well, but doesn’t blog! This post is to make sure that she makes a blog of her own and we all get to read a lot more from her and often! All the best Nidhi and keep smiling! :)
