Listen to the irony.

Well, it’s not after such a long time that blogger came across her another observed irony or rather say, this time she herself became a part of it.

So here I welcome you all to listen to the irony of a language.

Travelling in a new city, new lifestyle, confronting new people is very interesting especially when one doesn’t have any medium to converse with people around him/her; one conveys his/her thoughts via few hands gestures and body movements or speaking some broken words of English language like where, how far, thank you, sorry, excuse me etcetera.

Recently, blogger stepped into a new place where another language is being spoken, of which she didn't know anything. It was more unfortunate on her behalf that even the sign boards of the city were written in the local language which was completly unknown to her.

Well as her stay at the city was for a bit longer period of time so with the help of her friend, at least she learnt to say in the local language “sir/madam, I don’t know how to speak the local language, kindly cooperate”.

So whenever she faces problem while conversing, ironically, folks of the city get a chance to listen in their local language from her side that she doesn’t know their local language.

So listen to the irony and cherish it for a while!!

^^^ Rainbow ^^^

Amidst the blue sky,
Bunch of colourful colours shines,
Bright, mystically they all glow,
Together we call them - RAINBOW.

When goofed up with ‘green’,
Envious is the ‘red’ in between,
Then ‘yellow’ turns ‘blue’,
And worthwhile is to see the RAINBOW.

An artist's best subject,
To imprint on his canvas,
A photographer’s best frame,
To capture in his Kodak express,
A poet’s simile in his poems,
Through which it’s the beauty he expresses.

With grey clouds hovering behind,
And dancing with the delightful drizzling,
Suddenly, the mighty sun sizzles in between,
And RAINBOW glitters, shimmers and shines.

Reflecting Nature’s beauty,
Singing happy melody,
RAINBOW is lovely,
RAINBOW is lively.

Well why there should always be a reason to celebrate?

I know, many of you reading this post might be really irritated at the moment, in short, not happy; you might not be satisfied by your performance, or say you just had a good great fight with your friend, or say your boyfriend ditched you or say your boss fired you or say you are confused as you really don’t know where your life is going. All messed up!!

Well let’s say even if situation is so bad, frustrating, all disarray, does that stop you to say cheers?

Can’t you just be happy over the fact that at least you are dealing with the situation, doesn’t matter whether you successfully handle it or not.
Can’t you just be happy over the fact that at least you not losing hope and you trying to get out of your bad phase.
Can’t you just be happy over the fact that as it’s not easy for everyone to face the dark phase, but you are the participant and game has just begun and you planning to win this game!!

Say cheers!! people. Life is short. Raise a toast for the hard times we all went, go or will go!! And this is one of the biggest reasons to be happy. Be happy over the fact that we deal with our hard bad times!!
Keep the faith. And to those who are playing this game of rough time, my best wishes to them. I’m sure in the end you all will win.

Cheers!!

For a while

It’s been long time now,
That I have held my pain,
For a while I want to take rest,
For a while, try to be my oasis.

For a while, chat with me,
For a while, listen to me.
For a while, face my irritation,
For a while, bear my impoliteness.

For a while, believe me I’m right,
Even if I’m wrong,
As I’m tired of making everything right,
That was all wrong.

For a while, hug me tightly,
Hold me in the warmth of love,
For a while, wipe off my tears,
That will be shed for hours continuously.

For a while, praise me,
Though, I might not deserve it,
For a while, support me,
Though, I might not need it.

Let me pour out my heart’s chaos,
For a while, hear its sadness,
For a while, talk calmly,
Bear my rudeness that yells aloud.

It’s been long time now,
That I have held my pain,
For a while I want to take rest,
For a while, try to be my oasis.

Cook the irony.

Well this after a long time now that blogger is finally coming up with her another observed irony.

India- a conservative country by birth (though time is now changing and it’s coming out of its clutch), where men are supposed to do the business and earn money and women are meant to do the household work that includes taking care of family and home; And when I talk about home- It includes stuffs like cleaning, washing clothes, and most importantly cooking.

In India it’s so often that you will even find many people giving advice to newly wedded brides saying “the best way to reach husband’s heart is to reach via his stomach” meaning cook good food and he will be impressed!

But ironically in Indian restaurants, you don’t find women chefs.

For a country where women are supposed to be the Goddess of cooking, they supposed to be the master chefs of delicious food, then how come we don’t come across women chef’s at restaurants so often?

Is it still the conservative roots of this nation of not letting women enter into the business and earn money and let them cook behind the walls of their homes or something else?

Cook this irony and think about it for a while!!

What will YOU do?

Hello friends, this post going to be really small and straight forward. I will be putting forward few points and questions, and I just want you all to ponder upon it and think about it.

“You are studying and you have enrolled yourself in a course. But is it what you wanted to do?”

“You are married and your wife’s family still doesn’t like you. Will you be mad at her and blame her?”

“You are one of the board of directors of a company and a decision has to be made but you will be fired if you will go against others. So what will you do?”

“You have a best friend. And he likes someone. And now, even you too have started to like her. What will you do? Confess to your best friend or not?”

“You have a best deal to pick up for your carreer but if you plan to accept it then you have to be far away from your family? What will you do, accept it or not?”

“You love someone, but you hate her when she hugs you in public as you don’t like public affection? She will get mad at you if you tell her? Will you confess or not?”

You want to do something but something happens which put you across a cross point. Cross point where-

One way satisfies you,
Second, earns grudges for you,
Third is not suitable for you,
And fourth, it’s not for you.

Which direction will you choose? What will YOU do?

Obsession!!!

He wanted her, He just wanted her,
He announced his love for her,
He said he is dedicated only for her.

He said, she is the one,
He said, she is the only one,
He proclaimed to love her eternally,
He claimed to love her deeply.

She felt the connection with him,
Yet she unplugged herself from him,
Months down the line,
She got to know he moved on in his life.

He is now with her Love,
He says, she is the only one,
When she asked about what was past then,
Then he answered - an obsession.
