...

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like a volcano and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconcievable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.

Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

Choices ...

Whatever battles raging inside us, we always have a choice to do whats right. It's our choices that make us what we are... - Spiderman


This is so true.... Something that Mukund told me a month ago. No matter how good or bad you are, you will always be judged based on your actions.

Your choices can make you or break you. I truly believe now that your actions define your character and inner strength. Not what you wanted to do but what you do, determines who you are and what you will be in the future :)

New Beginning ...

A new day has...come


I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear


Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you


Hush, love


I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...come


Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy


Hush, love


I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...come


A new day has...come
Ohhh, a light... OOh

I am a proud Mother :)

On July 7th in 2003 my daughter, Pritika was born. Was I happy or what when I first held her when she was just a few minutes old. The feeling of holding a whole new life in your hand is an unparalleled feeling I must say.

Okay I am sure some of them are now confused considering I am single and was never married .. But yes I still am a Mother... a proud Mother of Pritika Uchil, my niece, who turns 5 year old tomorrow.

I am missing her a lot. I wish I was in India celebrating her birthday with my folks. But since that is not possible I thought why not I write something about our relationship just to make the occasion special.

I havn't experienced child birth but I am sure motherhood is an exhilarating feeling. Pritika and I share a very special bond. Even today when I call her, the sheer excitement in her voice when she knows I have called makes me feel very content. I know, there is someone who truly loves me selflessly. Ofcourse my family loves me. But Pritika.. yea she is different for me :)

I am concerned for her. For the past 3 years the girl seem to be troubled with a,b,c,d's and numbers 1-10. After watching Taare Zameen Par, my mother and I exchanged stares coz we both thought for an instance that Pritika is suffering from dyslexia :O But she is not ..Period :)

She is a very sharp kid. She loves colors. Shapes and Fashion. Oh yea... Fashion :D

She has her monthly flavors. Current is Lara Dutta I suppose and the last one was Aishwrya Rai.

Pritika has always been more fond of me than her mother * laughs devilishly* I take pride in saying this. But her father wins hands down against anyone when it comes to her attention .. * Grrrr ... Im frowning *

I have loved the feeling of staying awake all night just to put her to sleep. Crying each time she fell and hurt herself. Feel proud when she colors everything except the animal in her drawing book which should be painted, I like when she says..' Maasi, this tshirt is not looking nice...
Absolutely love it when she says,'Maasi, you are hot' :D

Im her role model, mom tells me... and I think this brings onto me a lot of responsibility.

A responsibility of making her a responsible citizen of the society.
And a bigger responsibility of letting her be Her ...

I have a feeling the post further on will get tad bit emotional and too personal.. Something I wouldnt like to share.


This post is incomplete without this...

Many, Many Happy Returns of the Day Baby Love... May all your dreams come true ... !!!

You and Me

You and me, we like the same kind of music
That's why we, make a good you and me
We got style, baby we know how to use it
That's why we, make a good you and me

You know what I'm going to say before my mouth even makes a sound
And that's why we make a good you and me

You and me, we couldn't stand being normal
That's why we, make a good you and me
We both laugh, at the most random situations
That's the key, baby don't you agree?

You know what I'm going to say before my mouth even makes a sound
And that's why we make a good you and me
I know from the sound of your breathing exactly what you are feeling
This is why we make a good you and me
Make a good you and me
You and me

You and me, all we need is each other
That's why we, make a good you and me

Akele Hai.....

I like this song....and it holds a very special meaning in my life ... Guess it needs a mention here :)


अकेले है तो क्या गम है
चाहे तो हमारे बस मे क्या नही
बस एक जरा साथ हो तेरा
तेरे तो है हम, कब से सनम

अब यह नही सपना यह सब है अपना
यह जहाँ प्यार का, छोटा सा यह आशियाँ बहार का
बस एक जरा साथ हो तेरा

फ़िर नै टूटेगा हम पे कोई तूफ़ान
साजना देखना, हर तूफ़ान का मैं करुँगी सामना
बस एक जरा साथ हो तेरा

अब तो मेरे साजन बीतेगा हर दिन
प्यार की बाहों मे, रंग जायेगी रुत तेरी अदाओं मे
बस एक जरा साथ हो तेरा

How about.... Hi :)

Why I feel people blog (many may beg to differ) is because it is a non responsive medium where you can pen down what you feel... without the fear of being judged... ridiculed ..laughed at.
Ofcourse blogs are critiqued but does it matter :)

It acts like that 'friend' who just listens to you when you want him too(I take the liberty to consider blog as a masculine gender for two reasons, one, generally I am better friends with men than women and second, I feel God is man).

Everyone thinks and this ain't no rocket science but people express their feelings and emotions in different ways .. like some blog...and so will I... Period :)

New to blogging ... New to writing.... and I am liking it.

I have had this awesome mix of logic and emotions in my life for the past 3 years... that pretty much xplains the title of my blog.

Im very opinionated... I can handle healthy criticism... I believe in the utopic concept of love... n also that 'In love' concept exists just in the initial stages of courtship...what remains later is just love..

If anyone begs to differ ... me got no problems... But I will definitely have a problem with someone coming and telling me what I think is wrong.

I may sound rude but then thats just me :)

Adios for now.
