Day 30 : Blogathon Ends
Its that day today! Its been a month since I started this blogathon and I am glad that I have done my 30 posts.
I have to say, it wasn't easy. It sounded the other way when I decided to jump in the blogathon bandwagon. How difficult could be 30 posts, I thought. I admit, it was way too tough to think everyday for a new post. There were times when I was really enthu about writing something and times when I stared at the blank screen for as long as an hour. Those were the times when lame posts came into being. I would excuse myself on that, for this was my first blogathon. Maybe I'll get better next year when I do this blogathon again.
I want to thank each and everyone who has been kind enough to write a few words of encouragement and suggestions. Even those who did not, have approached me personally to say they are quite keeping up with my blogathon and are looking forward to my posts. How encouraging was that. All that appreciation, all those prep up words are really special and close to my heart. :) Thank you soooo much! And you know who you are!
Its been a long month; I am gonna take a break from blogging, that is until I find something really amazing to blog about, which I hope wouldn't be long.
until then, stay happy.

Day 29 : Roadies = Life?
Thinking of the show Roadies, don't you think it is a mini model of life? If you are familiar with it, you'll know what I am talking about.
There is a bigger controller,who stirs up interesting twists and turns in the whole game. The contestants have to perform tasks and excel at it to go ahead and stay in the game. And that is not all. They have to continuously come up with plans to make themselves immune from vote outs. Survival till the end is their biggest motive. There are no fixed rules to the game. They can be changed any time by the controller. Thus, whatever strategies the participants may have, are usually dismissed without a thought. There are friends, open enmity, indifference, attitude problems between participants. There is back stabbing, plans, fights, betrayals and sometimes love even.
I see so many similarities here. How many times do we plan our lives just to find ourselves slapped in our face with a new plan (perhaps for the good, or for the bad). We try and chalk out every small details and make rough attempts to predict obstacles in the way. It doesn't work every time, but the thing is, we can never call it unfair.
There are so many people we interact with. We never know which one is our real friend, or who wants to see you go down. While there will be some instances where you will feel like giving it all; there will also be times when being selfish is the only option available. You need to survive the worst of conditions. And survival becomes brutal.
As for the tasks, we perform them too. In everyday life, we are performing them. Some do it grudgingly, some do it willingly. Everyone does it though to go ahead. Sometimes we fail and sometimes we excel in it to such extent that we are immune to failures.
As for winning or losing, each one defines it in a different manner.
On a personal note, though I like the show, i would prefer they mind thier languages. It has become like an open sewer tank.

Day 27 : Love-ination
A while back I read this and I couldn't agree more.
Love is so mis-defined nowadays. It is a must-have trend and time pass for many young people. I sound old and aunty-ish when I say this. But love, certainly has lost its meaning and is easily replaceable.
I have always interpreted love as commitment, honor, respect, trust and communication. I have also believed throughout my teenage and later that I can love only one person. For me, it was never so fickle to be played around with. Love, for me, holds many emotions.
People take foolish steps in name of love. And then they conveniently call it blind. In my opinion, love is never blind. Its you who categorically ignore all the defects and pot holes only to dig them up later and regret. I know couple who fell in love, got married and had had problems. Not just adjustment hitches. They were big time problems that created a rift between the two of them. When you actually see what went wrong, you can see the problem lay much before the matrimonial ties.
Love is never bringing flowers and chocolates. It is not hugs and kisses and tons of I love you notes. It is not remembering birthdays and anniversaries only for bringing gifts. It is all that too, but in the back drop. Mainly, when you say you love someone, you should be capable enough to make it work through difficulties, which requires commitment and responsible attitude. If you want to take your love to marriage and kids and further lifelong togetherness then it is your responsibility to stock take your abilities to get through thick and thin.
The word "love" has become so shallow. Everyone uses it and throws it around. All you need is a boy to give a girl a red rose and they think they are "in love". Not that they may not be, but hardly a few of them stick to each other and mature their love. Most cases, one fight and it all starts falling apart like a house of cards. Today, we see many college students with arm candies, feeding chocolates to each other, looking deeply into each others eyes, pushing and pulling lovingly - I wonder how many of them do really understand "love". Or maybe it is just a fling that they never intended to take further. I, for one, have never been comfortable to play around with emotions and let it go as if nothing happened at all.
I am not saying everything is rosy good with a couple in love. There are times when we don't see eye to eye. There are times when mistakes are made and there is some resentment. All that stays for sometime, but you always got to keep the bigger picture in mind. It is necessary to know that you are answerable to your other half and vice versa. Its not my ego v/s yours. It is about taking the correct route out of the mess, be it mine, be it yours.
It is cute to be serenaded once in a while. It is cuter to get an expensive gift. But only once in a while. Love is not made up of superficial things like these, though they add to its glamor.
Many a times, I used to be asked "What is your idea of romance?"
Today, I say small gestures are romantic enough. You don't need the ambience, nor do you require a date that is super expensive. I find it really romantic when after a pot luck party at our house, KK pitches in to clean the kitchen without me having to ask him to do so.
It is romantic when he tells me, in response to my "what to make for dinner?", "Let's just grab whatever's left in the fridge."
It is up to you to see the romance in daily life instead of seeking it in surprise dates and gifts. It lies in understanding the difficulties your partner must be going through. Romance shows up in least expected situations. It is our duty to keep our eyes and hearts open to receive it.
No one teaches you this stuff, a little common sense, a little maturity and a little patience takes you a long way.

Day 24 : Goofed up song dedications
He calls her. It was his night, her morning.
He : Hey honey... this song just for you!
"Naa hai yeh paana, naa khona hi hai", from Jab We Met plays from his end.
Among all the background noise of people talking and chattering, she listens to the song and goes all weak in her knees.
Next morning he calls her again.
She : I didn't know you were romantic and all. Song dedication eh?
He : umm-hmm...
She : I was in my office having a stupid grin on my face.
He : ummm-hmm...
She : I loooove the song so much...
He : umm-hmm...
She : What happened? Why aren't you saying anything?
He : Nothing. Kuch nahi.
She : kya kuch nahi. something something.
He : I don't remember the song which I dedicated.
She : What??!
He : Tell me na, which song was it.
She : No. Find it out yourself. how can you not know which song it was... meaning mann se nahi dedicate kiya.
He : Please tell na. There were a lot of people talking and distracting me. Wait, I will run the playlist again tell me which song...
Dil ne yeh kahaa hai dil se.... plays
Kuch kuch hota hai.... plays
Dil hai tumhara.... plays
Aaao naa, aaoo naa.... plays
You are my sonia.... plays
Chot dil pe lagi.... plays
She : !!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He calls her yet again. This time it was her night, his morning.
He : This is for both of us.
Yeh dooriyaan from Love Aaj Kal starts playing...
"Yeh Dooriyaan, inn raahon k..."
He : Hey, I got a call. Will TTYL.
