SpEcIaL aBiLiTy........

It was Thursday evening, while I was about to get down at my station, the metro halted at a station just before mine. It being the most busiest stoppage of Delhi metro.. and there entered rush of people inside, as I see two ladies entering and stopping by just near my seat, (they were, a young gurl with another lady who is around in her 40's).. before I acknowledge gesture of the gurl pleading me to offer the seat to the lady, I responded, I will get up as I have to get down, so please be seated. they were so thank full, as they both said in a chorus "Thank you so much"... "Nah, I just have to get down, so no issues", said I, didn't know why such a huge thanks. The next moment made me realized and I exclaimed "Oh my god, the lady is blind". I felt bad, as usual, If I see anybody suffering. I feel so helpless, that I imagine and pray "what should I do?, I am so incapable" to help those in need.

She was wearing light shaded green suit with matching footwear, having big huge spots all over her face and around the hand areas. Carrying two handbags, one each for the lunch and the another one was usual ladies purse. Ah, she carries cell phone as well, great ya, but what was that, it was a phone though, but was wrapped altogether in a closed case, she pressed somewhere over the cover and puts it near her ears and started talking "Are you coming?", as she talked to some family member and then she puts the phone down. I thought and thought and got down at my station.

What was I doing? I was just pondering on, that she has been missing on the utmost need of humans, the eyes.. Essentially, she would have had suffered every now and then throughout her life, but nobody could surmise, on seeing her plight. As I could infer, that she was working (just like us), she was travelling of her own, (ya the gurl accompanying her was not with her, she was just a passer-by), managing family/working for family or for self. Independent is what she appeared.

I feel real bad when, I see anybody who can not see. Not sure, since when, but I have planned I will donate my eyes. Then, it comes to my mind, when science has progressed so much that every part of human body is replaceable/ transplantable, then why to donate eyes only? when we can save many lives, why to keep the count to one.?

All of us must have had watched though, but I am always moved by this video..

             

        Pass it on when you are done

Well, mankind is kind enough, by addressing them with positive adjectives. I appreciate it when reserved seats at metro says " For differently abled".. Children with such abilities go to "Special schools".. great positive words right? (We although have been seeing debates on issues wherein request to send special children to non special schools are made.) Remember, Bollywood movie "PAA" and the dialogue of the suffering child's mother saying "my baby is that one amongst those lucky babies (who suffer from the disease)".. Depicting Positivity..

We have read so many articles, where we see ratio of death and blind people and then it tries awaken us and says "So if people dying on daily basis had got their eyes donated while they were alive, within eleven days, all blind could get to see the world from their own eyes." Why don't we do this then?? Problem is, it's "We" not individual "Me", and the reciprocal of it, i.e. when every "ME" coalesce to form the "WE", we can make a difference. Its not that complicated as I just stated.

Question is are we motivated enough?? What else is required to be done from multiple perspectives viz. the society, the government, awareness programs, thoughts and by every individual..??
The root of the society needs to be vaccinated against the evil of sufferings. We have to go long way in making our society/country in order to get rid of the disability tag at the maximum possible.

And every one could bring positivity around, by chanting the prayer, as I do..

Means:
                                                          May all be HAPPY
                                                          May all be HEALTHY
                                        May all experience PROSPERITY in everything
                                               May all be free from SUFFERINGS

P.S:
Isn't, I am challenged as well, as I am not able to do anything, for the ones in need.

Kyunki Tum hi ho

The all time favourite song of Aashiqui 2 is so so magical that, I keep murmuring it most of the times. I don't know what's so peculiar about it??? Is it the fascinating lyrics, or its the melodious voice of the singer, the unmatchable composition, the outstanding music, the lovely casting or what, I am clueless...

I believe its the synergy of all.. which has its spell bounding effect, that I am in love with it. It has been more than an year, since I am listening to the song on almost daily basis... <3

As I write, I am still listening to it.. My propensity towards the lilt is accentuating even further. I am not done even after playing it thousand of times on my laptop, and inspite of getting my phone play this every time it buzzes its ringtone, it does not quench the thirst...

Sweeping me off my feet..... Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho.. (";) (;")

 

What today???

I am really confused today, after posting much of 'ME', today I had thought of writing about a subject which is not related to me, becoz in every thought I am involved, and why not, when It's me who is pondering over all the subjects.

So, Lets make it simple today, I am not writing some story, incidences or emotions today, let my fingers rule today, over my mind and lets see where I end up to...

I am not confused, but am having random numerous things today on my mind, that could be the reason that I am not able to concentrate over a particular subject... umm yea I am confused...

Is it like, Nothing on my mind.. a total blank, or I am having too many thoughts rushing in the grey matter???........  Hmmm, actually too many of them :( :(.. so many that, they can't be segregated...

I think I am troubled, and why so??.. mmm... mm.. there are so many deliverables of life, so many promises, that have been made to near ones and to self, those haven't been met yet.. so many goals in pending statuses.... where life is heading, no idea, sometimes it moves at the pace of a rocket, apparently and sometimes everything appears stagnant..

Today, I had started thinking in another perspective.. Don't know why and how, but while I was putting some winter coats and hoodies back, a thought came in my mind, will I be wearing them the next winters.. "Kal ho na ho".... what made me think so.. donno... or may be I know, which, I will explore in my future posts....

I don't have any emoticon to use today, no picture to amend as well, Am I sounding negative??... May be... or I am too abrupt today :-/.. So, before I end up writing something disastrous, I believe should go ahead and take a sound sleep..
 
Peace out!!


 

New family member

He came into our family on 20th Feb.' 2014, when he was just forty days old, looked so timid, having dark black hair with light brown patches as highlights, a cute little puppy, was what he was....

And after two months from then, now you keep annoying us, you want to eat whatever we are eating, you need one person all the time to take care of you. Although, whenever any family member enters the main gate, you greet each and every one, but you hate kids like anything, a kid-hater, and now since you are growing, you have become so mischievous, and many a times irritate everybody so much that it gets on to our nerves x-/, you have started biting almost every member of family, keep barking for hours.. but whenever you come around and play with us, you look so innocent and to that I will say "Your innocence is bliss".... We all call you by different names, but, I want you to be named as Brando, and it should be your name as it suits you, after all you are a fiery breed.

Off late, I had read on a social networking site that "For you, he may be just a part of your lives, But for him you are his life", how magical the words are, since they are so damn true...

                                                      He is some one's else's Oscar

And now, whenever we see you sleeping, Its just does not feel that you are a puppy, (we ignore that you bark at every person, we ignore that you again had bitten us today),... it gives us a feeling that you are just like humans, like our kids, so innocent, so cute, so adorable and so so loving... (and from my within it comes awwww my bachhaa...)

You are part of our lives now :-* OSCAR...

 

Metro, Eve-Teasing OR Pleasing.... $!!!

It was first Monday of Jan'14, essentially, my cousins have been asking me to go on shopping with them, and since, I couldn't make it on weekends, I promised them that I will come bit early from office on Monday and would be accompanying them to Rajori. Wrapping up my work, and I had left from office.., because of winters it grew darker outside, I fastened my steps and rushed to take auto and while, I reached metro station and took metro from Vaishali, I felt too tired, in the hustle bustle, entered in the coach and got a seat which falls on the junctions between the two coaches (we avoid those seats usually, as those are reserved ones).

Anyways, I was feeling comfortable as I rested on my seat, and as usual, to get relieved further, I took my earrings off my ears, and closed my eyes and rested my head, by leaning at the back of my seat. don't know when there came another man and sat just next to me. As the stations approached, more and more people entered into the train.

As my eyes kept toggling, neither on nor off, with the third angle of my eyes, I sensed there is a good looking guy standing opposite to the uncle sitting next to me, He was reading 'Delhi times', the newspaper was opened wide across his arms and hence he is not visible properly. I didn't stare, but as I just had a glance of him by moving my head randomly around the coach, got a glimpse. How did he look??, yeah he was tall, fair and a lean guy with beards. Ah looks good, handsome hai (thinking.. might be Kashmiri)..and closed my eyes again, and then there came another thought on my mind.. "Eh, he didn't look at me :(.." then assuring myself.. "why should you be looked upon at?, you are looking so tired, and in order to quench your resting thirst.. you just messed up with your kajal as well, definitely you must be looking ugly ...;-(....". yea I was not looking good, I knew, as I rubbed my eyes with my fist with even more pressure. :-/

Whatever, was he the last guy on the earth, whose attention I needed... :-|...While those were just momentarily thoughts came and vanished from my mind like bubbles..

The next moment, I opened my eyes, and see him standing just opposite to me.(where did his newspaper go to?..donno..) as he sees that I am awaken now, he immediately types something on his cell-phone and keeps his right hand with his cell-phone, on the right side of his thighs, just parallel to me and hence making it comfortable to be read by me...(ah that means, he has been observing me, since I was lost in my sleeps). Unwillingly, as my eyes fell onto his phone's screen, I read two words "you have"... O MY GOD.. I was so furious by this action of his that.. look at the guy he appeared so decent and how cheap he is, that he is using such a profane language.. (considering that, he has used some inappropriate words, and trying to talk something really bad about me, may be addressing my body parts). I kept murmuring 'all guys are like this'... 'how dare he writing all those stuffs about me', (my drowsiness and tiredness had vapored in no time). I kept looking here and there.. but to his patience, he kept tapping his cell-phone on the sides of his lap, striving hard to let it be seen by me.. But I am no less, "dude, what do you think, you will keep tapping a vulgar message and I ll cherish reading it?? no way..." I kept boiling from within,, and as the oil boils quite faster and its vapours come down even quicker, when kept on an Induction cooker.. same way my anger came down,, and I consoled my self saying "its ok, you have dealt with many such comments every now and then, so this is one amongst them.. so just chill.... Hmmm..",, talking to self,,, btw.. "isne likha kya hai.. ;-)... lets read.." now another devil mood of mine prompts me to go through his message (I being victim of mood swings.. :(...)

All right, as I turned my face towards his cell-phone's screen, I was like gosh... how stupid I am.. just think so negative... can anybody guess what he had written..??.. It was "Hey you have really pretty eyes"... on seeing this, I was about to burst out laughing. But controlled, or else the guy would have had got a wrong hint.. controlled my laughter, I looked other way, seeing my eyes rolling over the screen, he confirmed that I have read the message..

 I don't see them pretty btw ;)

 

Now?? of course its the time for him to write another text, yes he was more quicker now, as this gurl had let so many stations got crossed, in reading a single message,, don't know will she read the next or not? (might be what he had been thinking..) anyways there came up another message parallel to my eyes, It read "I hope you wont mind taking genuine complements.. with a smiley...".. I read and was waiting for another one ;-) greedy gals.... :P :P

"Agla station Rajiv chowk hai", as the metro announced there came up another message just in front of me.. It said "I would appreciate, if you could just give a smile as a token of thanks :)...".. Poor guy didn't know, you should have had taken another faster measure to hit on this gal, she wont go till dwarka..loll.. anyways..;).. as he waited for my gesture, in response to his last message, I kept flat face (how rude we gals are, right ??, but we ought to be like this..).. stood up, the door opened and I came outside, and started looking for my cousins ( they are quite young, so I had to guide them, for where they had to come).

As I looked around for them, near the downstairs towards the yellow line, I saw the same guy again, standing around four meters away from me.. gosh, are you chasing me? or you want to start a conversation?.. but one thing I know, you are keeping an eye, confirming to whom am I going to meet.. right? whatever, I wasn't waiting for you btw.. ah then I see my brother and sister across the bridge, I waived hands at them asking.. "come this side".. As they came near me, we went on the other side of the station, I looked back, and No idea when this metro man, went away after seeing my cousins.. hmm... That's the end..

One thing, was I being rude, in not being nice to someone who has been extremly nice to me??.. well I believe No, as he was just a stranger, talking sugary stuffs.. so I was right in keeping mum, as who knows what the other person's intentions are?.. X-).. Nevertheless, It was a memorable incidence.. :P :P

 

My Official Birth Day (";)..........

I am so fond of my birth day... :) I know there is nothing new about it, as everybody is fond of his/her birthdays.. But there is a lil ambiguity about my birth-day which I just hate so much :( :(... as the two (real and official) are different in my case... again there this nothing new about this. We Indians deliberately change our children's birth dates. Big reason is to make their ages lesser than their actual ages and then through out there lives they keep lying about their ages. 

      My cake will display this although.. ;)

Never-mind, my story is lil weird, but before I iterate the same, I should let you know the dates first of all, BTW the lovely day for me, was 2nd Nov 19_ _ (why should I mention the year, we gals shouldn't disclose our ages right ;) ;)..) And the sad part is the official birth date is registered as 2nd-Apr(year being same).. Ah its today.. gosh Its my birthday today <3 <3....
 

I rem, while I was in class four, and my class teacher was verifying everyone's birth dates, and when she uttered "Madhvi Pandey" with DOB:02-Apr.. I interrupted saying no ma'am Its 02-Nov. Teacher asked "are you sure??", I said "I am damn". But she was nonplussed at how come it be differing by exact six months. This definitely would not be a mistake. Considering me a naïve, she asked me to get it confirmed from my parents. That day after the school, I asked my father in the evening that "Renu mam was asking for what's my correct birth date, isn't it 02-Nov??". After giving a thought over it, my father replied "No tell her Its 02-Apr". I was made understood that, for schools it should be 02-Apr. without inquiring further on I, the very next day told my teacher "Yes Mam, Its 02-Apr..".. The class teacher gave me tough looks, murmuring "isn't what I had said earlier". Post that I never gave it a thought on why that ambiguity, what does that mean, why months of gap.

Well, I don't know, when actually was I told the reasons, which is so rubbish, I believe... :-/ :-/.. My Mother told that you (means I), used to look so small and tender that when they took me for admissions in schools, the teachers denied to let me get admission :( :( stating that the child is not even two and a half years of old ( which is the minimum age requirement for schools admissions), my parents tried convincing them, but all in vain. With the lack of birth certificates in those times, they, the teachers didn't take the truth.. Since admissions here in India occur in the months of April, and then, what My parents did was that, they went to another school, and showed me even older(preponing dob from November to April) than my real age,. :( :(... and then the trick worked as their child got the admissions. yippieeeee... BUT, I really wonder when I hear extraordinary guy/gal clearing IAS exams in early teens or even cracking IIT during schools or so, don't they give there B'day proofs o-) x-).. and look at our plights, we had to play with reality... x-| x-\ .......                                                

But somebody ask me today, How does it feel when I write something else on documents and celebrate on another day, how does it feel, when my colleagues and organization send me a birthday mail on the false, irrelevant day... gurrrrrrr.. not there fault surely... :(

  Unofficial Birthday in Official Environment

Yes to those, who inquire on why, how-come different days, then of-course I have to re-iterate the stories again n again, next time on-wards, I'll send them the link to this piece of writing of mine :P :P

BTW, when I try thinking hard over the plus side of it, on the false dates of 02-Apr, I give reasons to myself that It would have had let me fetch benefits at-least at some point in my life, may be over the entrance exams when candidates score equal marks, and then, the one with prior dob is given privilege over the other who is born later, I definitely would have got some benefit or may not have got any at all (";).., so what, for my parents I started schools on time :) :) that's enough I guess..

Pheww.... to end it, I would say irrespective of the stories associated, I just love my birthday of-course i.e. 02-Nov.. I would start loving the 02-Apr as well, provided I am given presents on that day as well...  :-P :-P

Loll, jokes apart lastly... "Happy Birthday To ME "
