The Joy Of Motherhood 2008-08-30 03:54:21 Strange it may sound, but I was one of the few girls who never liked kids before marriage. It's not as though I hated them, I did hold the cute ones and kissed them once in a while but kids otherwise meant more responsibility and less freedom to me.But as the cliche goes Motherhood
changes EVERYTHING. The moment I held my baby in my arms and looked at his precious face, I instantly fell in love w

Broader the Smile deeper may be the wound inside 2008-08-24 04:07:59 Isn't it a beautiful quotation? yes, this is one of the things I have learnt from Life.Often People misunderstand cheerful people. Reason being that they are unable to look beneath their cheerful facade. They are unable to understand some people tend to deny or conceal their true feelings beneath a happy face when in fact they may be broken or shattered inside

Realization #2 2008-08-22 05:29:59 Sometimes people dislike you for no apparent reason.It is rightly said, You Can't Please Everyone When I was a teenager, I was very naïve and innocent. I wanted to please everybody around me and be Ms Goody-Goody. I believed in the phrase, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you", and so I assumed if I like other people and be nice to them, they would do the same. But slowly as I sta
Secrets of a Happy Marriage!!! 2008-08-22 02:34:31 Marriage is the most important act in our lives. A happy marriage is a source of true happiness as it brings out the best in us. But having a happy marriage doesn't just happen by accident. It takes a lot of commitment, dedication and hard work to help it to grow strong.You must be wondering is she a relationship expert who is mouthing big words. How old is her marriage?

Realization #1 2008-08-19 06:44:17 One major lesson that I have learnt from my life so far is that “Everything happens for a reason and ultimately for the Good”.When I was young, every time something ‘bad’ (which by my definition means things didn’t happen the way I wanted them to happen) happened to me, my mother consoled me by saying that it happened for my good and that I’ll realize it sometime later in life. But I n

Singh is not the King 2008-08-12 09:02:39 Yesterday my Husband and I went to watch a movie, Singh
Is king, after almost a year (actually it is impossible to watch a movie with a small kid in tow). We were expectecting a lot from the movie because of the hype but we were very disappointed. It turned out to be a very silly movie. It did not have anything much to offer except some lame punches that managed to bring few smiles once in a while
Wanna Booze? 2008-08-06 14:18:10 These days the song “Main talli ho gayi” from the film ‘Ugly aur Pagli’ is gaining a lot of popularity. And it makes me wonder why alcohol (or the so-called “Drinks”) intake has become the coolest and the most “In” thing today? Why boozing has become the so-called ‘social norm'? Since childhood I have felt very strongly about drinking. Blame it on my conservative upbringing or my Read more:Booze
Thank You EveryOne!!! 2008-08-05 07:19:34 Thank you guys for your overwhelming response on my post "Remembering Richa". Thank you all for understanding my feelings and empathizing what we all must have gone through while dealing with it. I had always hesitated talking about that incident and preferred remaining silent on my version of the tragedy. But through this space I have been able to lift a burden off my chest by venting out old bot Read more:Thank
Remembering Richa... 2008-08-01 13:17:55 The recent bomb blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad have brought alive the memories of my ex-colleague (I was working before marriage!!!), Richa Pandey, whom we had lost in the ill-fated Sarojini Nagar Blasts on 29 October 2005.Richa was in Sarojini Nagar only when the whole incident took place. She had gone there (alone) for some Diwali shopping for her mother and sister (Richa lost her father long Read more:Remembering
Too Comfortable in My Comfort Zone!!! 2008-08-01 05:58:45 For the past 2 hours, I have been reading other people’s blogs and I just can't help but wonder how much people have something to say. Be it current affairs, social topics, office life or relationships, it seems everybody is blogging about something and that too at a very fast pace.And it makes me wonder, “whether I’ll ever be able to match their pace and be one of them”? Guess NO. For I h Read more:Comfort Zone
Blog Kuch Zyada Senti Hain........ 2008-07-24 02:53:48 Yesterday my sister was reading my blog...her first reaction was, "Tera blog kuch zyada hi senti hain, why don’t you write some practical stuff. This way you won't attract any traffic on your blog"....I just smiled at her comment and told her, “No Problem”.I write not to attract any readers or to make my blog popular…..I write just to vent out my feelings…. those feelings which I do not
Lets Understand Love 2008-07-18 04:34:02 How often we mistake some other feeling for love and forbid ourselves from experiencing its true meaning. and how often love touches our life in some way and we are unable to acknowledge it. So, lets understand love for once and for all and allow it to enlighten our lives in every way it can.If you love some one because you think that he or she is really gorgeous...then it's not love ..it's Infatu Read more:Understand
Time Changes Everything 2008-07-12 06:50:10 "Time changes everything except something within us which is always surprised by change"- Thomas HardyI have learnt this by LIFE itself.Yesterday I ran into an old friend. Once we were the best of friends. Today we are just strangers or to say....acquaintance. You may say SO? BIG DEAL? It happens. It happens many times.Yes, I know that. I know it happens. But don't you think it’s strange? Two pe Read more:Everything
The Mysterious thing called "LOVE".... 2008-07-04 05:24:46 If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart.If you find someone else in love with you and you don't love him/her, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return, do not take advantage, do not cause pain.How you
Love Marriage vs Arranged Marriage 2008-06-27 14:59:28 I am sure you must be wondering why she has chosen such an old topic in such modern times, but my cousin's recent personal situation made me realize that this matter still affects many of the youngsters and so I decided to write about it.This topic has been much debated since times memorial but it hasn't lost its sheen still. Ask any teenager about it and he or she will willingly lend their views Read more:Arranged
Every Relationship Has An Expiry Date 2008-06-21 07:26:37 Life is a one big teacher. One of the few things it has taught me is that every relationship has an expiry date. I firmly believe in it.From my past relationships I have realized that people come and go. But eventually you have to walk alone.Do you agree with me? Read more:Relationship
Simple Joys 2008-06-21 06:10:05 Do you take time to appreciate the simple joys in life? Do you smile at the sun or dance in the rain? Do you stop to smell a flower on a bush? Do you gaze at the star-studded sky or watch the birds fly? Do you take time to coo at an infant, or to watch puppies or kittens at play? Are you thankful for the air you breathe and the life you have been given? Most of all, do you ever take time to marvel Read more:Simple
Who Decides A Person is Good or Bad? 2008-06-20 07:40:38 Often we hear people declaring, he is good, he is bad, he is like this, he is like that, he did this, he did that. They seem to have opinion about just anyone and everyone, irrespective of how the person in particular is in reality. Are we right in doing so? If yes, who decides who is good or bad? And on what basis ?Good and Bad are such subjective definitions. Someone who is very good to me may b

Adieu for a while!!! 2008-09-19 05:53:28 Hi Friends, I know you all must be wondering where the hell Parul is and why has she been missing from action for so long. Well the reason is my laptop had developed some serious problem (don't know the exact thing but guess the whole operating system got corrupted) and had gone for repair(still not back!!!)....So, with Aarush in tow and laptop missing it became almost impossible for me to log on

the 3 Mistakes of My Life 2008-09-03 04:48:43 Hi friends,As promised here is my review on the 3 mistakes of life. To start with, the 3 Mistakes of life is a typical Chetan Bhagat’s book with lots of masala, and unexpected twists and turns. As Buzzz and Comfortably Numb rightly said, it’s like a typical Bollywood movie - entertaining but devoid of logic or reasoning!!! It is a book filled with a lot of clichés- and a lot of similarities w
No Guys, It’s Not Me!!! 2008-08-31 08:58:16 Well, ever since I published my last post, I am flooded with concerned e-mails and notes from my friends and well-wishers to enquire if I am facing the mentioned situation. So, let me clear it once and for all, It’s Not Me!!!I am too busy nursing my infection and missing my baby. But I must admit the sudden concern and attention is flattering!!! I didn’t know I have made such caring friends at
