blEssEd I Am tO hAvE yOU....

I strongly feel that some people are blessed with the ability to make the atmosphere lively..when i am around such people, it feels like just to stay with them... I feel full of life...

Yesterday a friend invited me for a dinner... We are kind of friends who don’t meet each other that often, but still we share a special bonding.. At least i think so ;). When I found my name in her list of close friends, I was bit surprised but very happy.  she named me “mega pixel” ... I kinda like that name...well actually what i want to say is we dont meet that quite often, but when we catch up, we end up talking for hours... N same happened yesterday.. We talked about almost all aspects of life... People, friends, work, frustration etc.... First of all let me tell you she is a wonderful host... U wont feel as a guest even for a moment..well let me come to the main topic, she is kind of a person with whom you would love to wander around.. Catch up for a coffee... Not because she is girl n she can talk for hours but because she has a knack to see positive side of everything and so whenever you are with her, you will feel like she is passing the positive energy to you...she can turn a sad situation into a happy occasion... Whenever i am with her I start seeing life with a totally different angle and i feel that everything is now falling in to correct sequence and place.. I feel so lively with her... I have mentioned her quite a lot now in my blogs…n there is a reason behind actually. I was inspired by her.. Her blogs, the way of seeing things everything I found very inspring and encouraging. I told her the same thing yesterday as well…. I hope she didn’t feel that I was buttering………

I consider myself lucky to have such few friends who are blessed with this special quality... Pandu, Popat, Thakur, time table ( i haven’t wrote the name intentionally), bakshi are some of my friends who  has this thing to make things light.. They can make u laugh...smile... N most important lively... Whenever they are around you will feel this is the life i am looking for... Full of fun, laughter, positive attitude and love...

I feel lucky or lets say blessed to have such friends...

Keep rocking guys...

Is it bad to be selfish?

I was taught that most of the decisions which we take in our daily life affect one or the other person directly or indirectly. Sometimes our decision proves to be wrong and there is a possibility that it may hurt our friends, relatives or colleagues personally or professionally and that’s why we need to give proper thought and time to it.

I have taken this lesson or lets say teaching very seriously throughout my life…. There are occasions when I had to go against my will as the thing which I wanted to do and what I needed was affecting my friends or family. Till date I was feeling very happy that I had given very less chance to other people to get hurt. It has helped me earned respect from my friends , family and my colleagues. They have faith that whatever my actions will be, it will be good for all.

But the incidents which has happened in the last few months in my life made me think whether I should actually think about others or not. The decisions which I have taken in the last few months have definitely  saved me hurting  N number of persons, but I couldn’t stand for something which I wanted the most in life…I lost something which was worth dying.

 What if the decision which you are making is hurting you only….what if you have to suffer for the rest of the life because of it… Now I really wonder about the funda of the life…is it really bad to be selfish sometime? Should we always consider others when taking decisions? What one should do when he knows that his one action or decision which is best for him will have impact on others life??

I am trying really hard to figure out answers to these questions….do let me know if u already have one….

Blacked white...

Well I know, the title is bit confusing..it does not mean anything special..but i thought it is the best suitable title for my post..


I don't know why but the day I started photography, Black and White images have always attracted me...May be its the effect of history attached with Germany...Or I don't know, but all I can say is I love my collection of Black and white snaps than the color ones..


Here it goes...

 @ Bamberg ( 9th April 2011)

2. I will be there to enlighten you..

 @ Regensburg (7th May 2011)

7. Resistance...

@ Venice (25th Dec 2011)

I don't know why I keep the title for this snap as "Resistance"... But felt its the best one..As water resist the boat, obstacles keep resisting us on a path to success..but we keep going....life keeps moving....

8. I dont have leaves to give you shade...but I will burn my self to give you heat..warmth....

@Bamberg (25th Feb 2012)

Bring back the Kid......

Have you ever thought of getting inked?? Getting a Tattoo?? 


From the last 2-3 three years, I am planning to get a tattoo. But could not execute the plan. Sometimes because of the objection from the family members and sometimes due to the collision of my own thoughts..But this time, I was thinking about getting a tattoo bit seriously...So in search of the perfect tattoo for my self, I did a lot of research..Surf many websites, got consultation from many tattoo designers, but could not find one..perfect one..which I want..so In the end, I thought to design my own tattoo and get it inked.... So while travelling to home from office, I started to imagine a picture and then put it on the paper at night....Though I have not found the tattoo, I realised one thing...my love for drawing...When I was a Kid, I loved to draw... people, different shapes and specially landscapes....it used to make me so happy and alive when I was able to put the perfect shades and colours in the picture....Today when I draw a tattoo, I feel some type of happiness..i feel fresh and alive.....The time which I used to spend on facebook, now I spare it for drawing tattoos and landscapes....


In the Race with the life, we sacrifice or quit many things to reach our goals. These things can be anything... like an activity which we used to love, or things which we like to do...n in some case relationships also. We quit doing the things which we love...which makes us feel alive...which brings smile on your face......sometimes such small small hobbies works like a magic when you are stressed out or tensed....I feel it is better to spare time for such hobbies than sitting on facebook and surf to what people are doing ....


So find out such hobbies which you have quit and spare sometime for the things which you love...bring back the kid in yourself....feel alive and young....feel the happiness and spread the smiles...

Back on track.....

Finally, I am back...on the track of the life…

Don’t think much, it was just a line..but yeah, I am here after almost four months. Many things happened during this time. There are so many things to write about, so many things to tell you, but to tell you frankly, I am not able to put them in to words at the moment.

Today I want to thank one of my friend… I always feel refreshed when I talk to her. She is always full of life… and the most important thing about her is her ability to see something special in each and everything. Sometimes I feel jealous of her when I see that she can find happiness even in a sip of a coffee…. Can you believe it? But that’s true. Whenever I read her blogs, it makes me think whether I am living life right way or not. I am enjoying my life or not. You know she doesn’t write anything special in her blog, like  “a way to live a life” …. Or any other guide like “the monk who sold his Ferrari” and etc…but the way she describe the things happening in her life and how she is able to make most of the moment is just amazing.. Sometimes, it really makes me think “is it really possible?”..

I want to thank her again, as again its her blog only which inspired me to again take a pen and write something…

Cya for now,

Jai

It All Ends ...

No, this blog is not about the last part of the Harry Potter franchise but yeh I wish that J.K.Rowling will again come back with such fantastic story. 

Anyway this blog is about “ENDs”. Yeah , we all know the things which have a start will come to an end one day. But the question that has been stuck in my mind since a long time now is “Why do we hate end so much?”.

Have you ever given a thought to this? I was in India for three weeks.  Cannot tell how quickly my vacation ended, but in the last week, I was not at all feeling well because my vacation is about end. The thought about the end of vacation has absorbed all the positive vibrations. I was wishing that my vacation will go on for one or two more weeks. (I know even if it was extended, I would have again felt the same during the last week).There are many such examples. End of a good movie, your fav TV serial, end of your career with your first employer (Of course when you switch to new company), End of a relationship…..the list is endless….

Why do we hate End so much?? Are we afraid of coming out of our comfort zone or we are afraid of the new challenges waiting for us?   

Well, I am trying to find out the answer to this question. Do tell me if you find one …..

There is lot to write. But for now this much is enough..;)

Straight from the Heart ...!!!

Straight from the Heart….!!!!

Has the thought ever knocked on the door of your mind that your life has become very dull and boring? Have you ever felt that all the colors have disappeared from your life??

Think once again….

No, but I have felt that.From the last few days or say months my mind was occupied with all such questions,..my mind was so busy with these stupid thouhts that I was not even able to concentrate on my favourite timepass....photography..surfing..etc..

But my life has taken a turn now....I am happy...I am cheerful..n most imporant, now I am enjoying every moment of life...not because the work which I am doing right now is intersting nor that I have bought any new cool gadget or shoe...but because I found out the reasons....the answers for the above questions....

The reason was ...my boring routine....The day I arrived here in Germany...my life had become very monotonous...i was following the same routine.. Every monday to friday...same time table..wake up early in morning, prepare break fast (sometimes lunch also)...go to office..return home around 7 or 8...take dinner..watch some shows on lappi, face book n go to sleep..on weekends, shopping, bowling and eat lots of food...from the last 4-5 months I was following the same schedule...but now I said to my self that enough is enough... I have implemented many changes in my day to day life....i decided that I wont dance with the tick tick music of watch...but I will do whatever I want...ofcourse, no masti during work....but I will make most of from the rest of the time...now many things have changed....bad minton, bowling, exercises photography are also part of my daily life...sometimes I do what I have never planned...like for example I ironed all my clothes today n arranged my cu board...wow it looks cool...

So change your routine, wear your dancing shoe and go for party with the life….face your fear….come out of your comfort zone and do whatever your heart say…Try something which you have never thought of….do something which scares you to death…challenge the defeats and win the failures….

Of course this realization was not easy, but there is someone who actually helped me or you can say forced me to see how boring my life was… That person is also the source of inspiration for writing this blog…

Thanks a lot Lil for spreading the light in my life like miss sunshine J
