Fear...

Hi Friends....

Direct Point pe aati hoon...

Today I was listening to radio while traveling from Office to Home. They had played some nice new number.

I can't explain in words how beautifully it was written, composed and sung....

Imran always gets one hit number...:)

Anyway, the song is: Dil sambhal ja jaraa.... tu ruk ja jaraa...fir mohabbat karne chalaa hai tu...

For a moment, I thought, that singer was singing all that- what was hidden in the darkest corner of my heart...

well...it's psychologically proven than when a person gets badly rejected by others, he/she develops a feeling of getting rejected every time....in every phase of life...a fear of being left alone is set for a lifetime....

why does it happen that we often start with a negative mindset?

when a boy loves a girl (or other way round), he always starts with one single question: why do I fear that you will leave me?

when we are broken apart in our past love, why do we fear that our future will bring similar pain?

we are with our friends, laughing uncontrollably....suddenly one small memory pops into the mind and the laughter fades away.....tears roll down....and then we say, itna hasungi to aankh se paani to aayegahi na....:)

we are on the verge of forgetting sad memories of past....cherishing some beautiful memories of the same past...suddenly we hear the radio singing some song he used to sing.....the strong mind immediately collapses down....

I remind myself....when life takes someone away from us, it sends someone else for us....

Life has sent that 'someone' for me.....

that someone who loves me truly.....someone who cant show his love every time, but remembers me in every moment (well i hope da...)

someone who does not like to say 'Love you' at the end of every phone call, but loves to support me when everyone is against....

someone who does not know how to be romantic :), but cares for me from the bottom of his heart....

someone who is as short-tempered as i am, but cools me down first even when he is angry at me...:)

someone who has accepted the real me, without any conditions, grudges, regrets or compulsions...

I am falling in love with that 'someone....'

But why the fear.....

Aisa kyun kar hua janu naa
Main janu naa..

Dil sambhal ja zara Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
Dil yahin ruk ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu

Kuch bhi nahi Jab darmayaan
Phir kyun hai dil, tere hi khwaab bunta
Chaha ki de, tujhko bhula
Par yeh bhi mumkin ho na sakaa...
Kya hai yeh maamla, Janu naa
Main janu naa 

Dil sambhal ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu

Letting go...

Some People In Life
Are A Part Of You
And Even When You
Let Them Go
You Never Lose Them
Bcoz You Find The Memories Of Time
Spent Together
Still Living In You....

Loved....Lost Love.....Learnt Lessons....

Scene 1:

Aaj main ek alag mood mein hoon….

Apni hi ek dhoon mein hoon…

Hawaaye gaa rahi hai…aasmaan sun raha hai….

naa jaane kyun aaj fir ek baar…dil kisika intezaar kar raha hai…..

---written by me

Scene 2:

aaj madhosh si hai dharti

aaj jhoom utha hai gagan…

kuch toh hai fizao mein

jo mujhe apni bahon mein jhula raha hai…

aaj mujhe hosh nahi

besudh hoon kisi ke pyar mein…..

aaj toh kaynat bhi keh rahi hai

mujhe shayad unka pyar hi ek pyar ki neend sula raha hai…

---written by a friend of mine…

Scene 3:

Wo Neend shayad kuch jyada ho gayi thi….

Neend se jaagu to pataa chala bahot der ho chuki thi….

Mit gaya tha wo samaa…khatm hua tha wo pyaar….

Aaj kisi aur ka hai wo….abhi tak  maan naa paayi main apni haar…

Har pal…har waqt…jhulsati aayi hoon main….

Kabhi rote hue…kabhi haste hue…thokar khaa rahi hoon main….

Karti hoon ek sawaal main uss bhagwan se kahke ‘aye khuda’…

Kya sochke tune hame milaaya aur kar diyaa yuhi judaa…

Haske bola wo jaalim khuda…arey naadan wohi to meri chaah thi….

Tu hamesha sahi nahi ho sakti….wo pyaar to teri sabse galat raah thi….

Sunkar ye sab thikaane pe aaye the hosh mere….

Fir kyun aaj pad rahe hai zindgi ke ulte fere….

Sambhal jaa ae naadaan….naa jaane fir tu royegi…..

Dil sirf ek hi hota hai re….aur kitni baar khoyegi….

Latest Scene:

Roneki bhi ek had hoti hai….hasna maine shuru kiya hai…

Tu nahi to koi aur sahi…practicality apna liya hai…

Itni aasaani se bhulaa diya….tujhe itna bhi yaad nahi when was the last time we had met…

Ek din aayega jab ehsaas hoga tujhe…..chod na yaar….tension kyun leta hai…ab to teri life hai set….

Royi thi main….gidgidayi thi main….tere sab ghar waalon ke saamne apne aap ko kho chuki thi main….

Tune parvaah na ki kabhi….naa koi fikr…..badi koshish ke saath waapis khadi ho rahi hoon main….

Par ek waada hai mere dost tumse….jo dukh tune mujhe diye wo main kisiko nahi dungi….

Dil lagaake…jaan lutaake….saath puraa nibhaaungi….pan tumhaari tarah kabhi haar nahi maanungi…..

Freeing the emotions...

Hi Friends..

Hows llife?
Hope you all are enjoying the summer...:)

Today, I want to share something diferent which I recently experienced.
Have you ever heard of 'setting the emotions free?'....or 'letting go of your choked emotions'...?

I came across this innovative technique over the internet...many of you must have already seen it...
It's called EFT - Emotional freedom technique....

What is EFT? EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, is a unique combination of the ancient technique of acupuncture with modern psychology. Combined, they enable you to transform negative emotions and thoughts in minutes. Tapping is based on the theory that these negative states are stored, even stuck, in our body’s energy system. (Ref:  More Info on EFT )

Concentrate on your particular emotion- stress, anger, pain...and do the tapping as instructed...
Feel the relaxation immediately...

This is no advertisement....This is no marketing...

I am sharing what I experienced...a wonderful feeling...
You gotta practice it more...to gain more...:)

Sharing the videos and the URLs for your information...Go through it and rediscover something which lies within you...:)

EFT Introduction and Details

EFT Videos

EFT for Beginners - Video

EFT - Tapping Techniques Part 1

EFT - Tapping Techniques Part 2

Go through it and practice it for atleast 2 weeks....

Share your experiences...:) Have a great day ahead...

Cheers,
Prachi

Clearing the clutter...

Hi Friends...:)

It’s been a long time….how are you all doing? :)

Happy Holi….:)

So, how was the Holi celebration? Frankly speaking I am not a fan of this particular festival….I get terrified by the idea of coloring my own or someone else’s face with those terrifying colors…I love to spend the day at home with my family…apna apna choice…:)

The only thing I LOVE about Holi, is that the n- number of Puranpolis I get to eat on this day…:)

For those who don’t know what is a puranpoli..you can check out: Puranpoli

Anyway, I wanted to share some activity which I came across recently….

Some meditation related program was going on at my workplace. I had not participated in that program, since I know the art of meditation….ahem ahem…:P prachi, meditation sirf jaanegi to kaam nahi hoga…wo regularly karna padta hai….(ha baba ha…pataa hai….uffff)

One of my friends had enrolled for this program and as a part of it; they were given some daily tasks (in the form of an email) to do. She used to forward all those daily task mails to us.

There, one of the tasks was – De Cluttering.

Have u ever felt the sense of serenity when you throw away some old, un-necessary stuff from your desk/house/cupboard?

 I decided to try out this de-cluttering task..I started with my workplace desk….collected all the un-necessary stuff like papers, old printouts and simply threw that in dustbin….

On that weekend itself, I decided to clean up my ward-robe…so much old stuff which I could no longer use….cleaned it up….then moved to living room, kitchen…continuing the clean up….

After this entire clean up mission also, I was feeling restless….in my previous blogs I had mentioned about the past tense of my life…which I have always tried to erase…from time to time….but somehow some memories reside in your mind like a glue…harder you try to throw them out, stronger they become….bothering you at every possible minute….

But there has to be a way….sometimes we try to ignore such memories, sometimes we try to live with them….but somehow, for me, it was not an easy task….

So I tried something which appeared very foolish and childish to me…:)

I guess most of you must have seen ‘Jab we met’…..aa haa….i repeated that act of Shahid kapoor….

The only photograph….a matchbox…one matchstick….

Agar yaadein sirf takleef de to kyun jiye aisi yaadon ke saath….jalaa do yaadon ko….kam se kam sukun to milega….

This wasn’t any violence….this was my last attempt to accept my mistakes, forgive those 3 important years of my life and last but not the least ‘forgive myself’….

I cannot express the sense of relief, calmness I felt after cleaning up those blocked emotions….:)

Some would say…what foolishness is this….yeah….even I used to say same things….but try karne mein kya jaata hai? Fek do…whichever belongings/ things make u feel hurt, sad…just throw them….delete those things from your home, mail box, bag, mind…..this is no gyaan….this is tried and tested…:P

Thanks Ashwini, for sharing those tasks with me….to be frank I did not try all of them….but this De-Cluttering thing….did help me…in n-number of ways….

Karke dekho…Accha lagta hai….:)

See you soon….Till then…..Take care…

Cheers,

Prachi...

There is a 'right' time for everything...

Good Evening!!

What's up friends....It's been a real long time since I wrote something....
I have been trying to keep up with my changing schedules and new work....

Last weekend, I met my school friend - Aditi....(surprised na...after so many years also, the school time friendship is still there....:) and I am so proud of it....these days, people come in your life and simply disappear within a certain period of time.....but friendships developed in school days, college life last longer...till the time you have your kids....and after that as well....:P touchwood for such friendships.....)

This school friend of mine was quite worried about her CA exam results....CA exam (Mastering Chartered Accounting) is something which gives results in fractions....(information courtesy: Aditi)
In simple words, it's very difficult to clear this exam....Aditi had given several tries and was about to lose hope.....

Last sunday, I met her and heard her saying, "Prachi, I am getting tired now....I am tired of this never-ending struggle......"

Just to calm her down, I told her what I had read sometime back.....

In our lives, some of the things are pre-decided (who decides it? Nature? God? or simply our Deeds?), some of the things are pre-set to occur at a particular time only....those will happen only when the right time comes.....and when we fight to get those done before that right time, all our efforts will go in vain....

This applies to our life in so many different aspects....

- There was a time when I was running behind Love....(Today, at this very moment, I don't want to get into the debate of whether that love was immature/stupid or the person was not right for me.....)
I tried hard to bring that love back in my life....But God had his own plans......Now, when I look back, I certainly feel happy for whatever happened...No regrets.....After all, He has plans for every small thing of your life....:)

- There was a time when I wanted to switch my career in another stream....I could not gather my courage to do so....The only question that bugged me was: what would my parents/friends think about my decision.....i spent 1 year in only the so called 'thought process'.......and then i started working on it....then the right time came...and now...i am in my favourite IT stream.....

I could go on and on.....:)
All I want to say is....God has set all the right things to occur in our life at a right time......
I have experienced it....and felt like sharing it with you all....:)
Many times I tried to alter His plans by taking my initiatives....But I got good lessons through them.....which I am happy about....:)

Anyway, enough of gyaan for the blog....
I remember, I had mentioned about the creative things that I am bringing on the blog.....Work in progress my friends....:) Keep watching the space...:)

for the time being.....take care...bye bye....sayonara....

Cheers,
Prachi

P.S: Just now, Aditi has sent me an sms.....She cleared her CA exam.....:) I am proud of you girl....:)

Some things we wish they understood...

Good Evening!!

The title is quite obvious, isn’t it?
'We' bole to all the pretty women out there....and 'They' bole to all the handsome hunks out there....

Men keep saying that at times we get very demanding and expect too much....
Well well...I am not denying that...but I feel, there are some things which they should know (same applies to girls too...)

You all must have read such things in many mails and articles….this time, I have written something in my own way and as per my experiences…:P
@ all those people who do not agree with this: I am eager to listen to your views..:) please share those….

So…here it goes….(please bear with my rhyming…)

Showering us with flowers, chocolates, costly gifts and still no luck...
You need to know that on a real bad day, all we need is only a warm hug...

Though we are girls, we too love sports and hate the way you tease….
Mind it….other than Tendulkar, we also know who Lasith, Roger and Lionel Messi is….

Shopping and bargaining come hand in hand, do u have any clue?
Check out your credit card, the payment must be due…

We know that you love your mum and yeah..what a superb cook she is…
Don’t expect us to be the same...we play the wife, and not the mommies…

When the mind is real upset, all we need is a soft touch...
Why don’t u understand it sometimes, are we asking for too much?

Though we are sweet, caring and loving...try not to take us for granted...
Even we have got our strength, surely we know how to make ourselves feel wanted...

You love and u care...what's the use of it if there is nothing on the face...
We love it when you show that love and care...all you have to do is just express...

All you need to remember that this is most beautiful relation that we two share...
How can we forget that, we two are the ones who should equally care...

Hmmm….Well…..Now I can expect someone to call me immediately and give all the possible gaalis…:P
But seriously, this is something which I so much wanted to bring out of my mind…:)

Anyway, this is just a view…an opinion…not to hurt anyone…:)
Soon, I will be coming up with something creative that I have done…..something which is very close to my heart….
Keep watching this space….

Till then,
Adios...
Hasta luego,
Prachi…

Dance like no one is watching...

Morning!!

First half of the first week of this brand new year is over...and I have not yet done a single thing which I had mentioned in my previous blog...

Checked out my poster colors - all dried up...:(
Checked out my calligraphy pens - no ink at all....
Then thought of spending the weekend with some of my close friends....checked out the availability of them (including rash, mad, komal and anoop)....damn....no one is free...everyone threw some or the other reason..:(

So...I decided to do something which was never listed in my list of most favorite things to do....I remembered a poem which I had composed last year...

while I was going thru all that pain...
a thought came to my mind all over again....
all my efforts to handle myself were going in vein...
soon I realized, it's time to recharge my brain....
c'mon Prachi...look at yourself...just throw a glance...
things have changed and so are you...then why the stupid trance...
get up…get up….shake your legs…. grab the chance….
get little chiggy wiggy…..and for God’s sake…do some dance....:P

Guys! Have u ever danced in a closed room? where you have put your speakers on loud volume...windows closed and yes, curtains also closed...just you and your soul....dancing wildly...as if no is out there watching you....

I have always sensed one kind of a relief whenever I have danced…I have never been to discos n all…I am not fond of such places….
But whenever there used to be celebrations in my college, seniors had always organized DJs and socials. I never missed a chance to be a part of it.
Super fun it used to be!!! I miss those days mannnnnn….

Today, one thing I wanted to share with all of you….
Whenever I get stressed out….dance is something which takes away all my stress….
I had tried to learn classical dancing a long back….and frankly I am not good at it….but who cares? As long as you are enjoying your steps, you shouldn’t be much bothered about it….;) thodi na hum kisi Jhalak dikhla ja mein participate karne wale hai? :P

Recently I was reading a book and came across these lines….you all must have heard of it somewhere or the other…

Dance like no one is watching…

Sing like no one is listening…
Love like you'll never get hurt…
Live like it's heaven on earth…

Too much of gyaan….isn’t it? J
Okay then….let’s get back to the dance floor…what say………

Cheers,

Prachi
