Today, I want to share a love story with you, in which a boy though, madly in love with a girl, but leaves her, listening to his mind and not his heart and soul and then see what happens.....
Well, many times, what we observe, two people get married for biological reasons or we cant live alone in our life or because of our family pressure. So, that means, using our minds, practically we should marry to fulfill our emotional or physical needs or because of society pressure. Really? We see so many separations, divorce rates or unhappy marriages, sadly. I was, once talking to an old man, of the age about 80 years of age and he shared some of his experiences. One thing he really mentioned in our conversation is ," Always marry for right reason and that's Love!!" I am telling this to you with my personal experience . I was really, truly and madly in love with a girl 10 years elder to me . She was a very nice person and used to understand me so well, as if she was meant for me. I left her, listening to my mind and not my heart. It was difficult for her to bear a child at her age and she was not so keen. She always believed in her values strongly and wanted to adopt a child. She always felt that there are so many children in orphan, who are unfortunate and deserve love and our love can give them good life and love. But I wanted to have my own child, my DNA. She strongly believed that it's all about values and right nurturing.
Me- Then what happened?
Old Man- I listened to my mind only and married a girl of my age then. But nothing happened as I expected. We were so different and poles apart that we could never understand each other. The daily fights leading to frustration and unhappiness. I lost my business, I was badly broke and she left me.
Me- Ohhh....sorry to know this. So finally, you had your own child? You got what you wanted?
Old Man- Yes, I did have my own child, my own DNA child as I wanted.
Me- Ok nice!! So were you happy then? You got what you wanted. Then what happened? Pls tell me.....I am eager to know.
Old Man- Hmmm...?I learnt and realized later, it's the values and love that matter not DNA. My son turned out to be disrespectful, stubborn, materialistic and snobbish. It was the result of our unhappy marriage and lack of love, I think. You know what, there are very few fortunate people who are touched by true love, many unfortunate people in this world who don't find love in this birth but the most unfortunate are the ones who find it but lose it. I am one of them falling in the last category. If you have love, you can do anything, you have everything on this earth. You are the most happiest person on this earth. And it was too late when I realized it. You should always follow your heart and soul, your inner voice and not the practical mind. If you are with your love, everything is beautiful....Love makes ways...Love conquers all. All the challenges and difficulties become fine if you are with your love. My life would have been much different if I would have married the love of my life. This is one regret I have in my life. You should always see if the person you marry, you want to grow old with, its all that matters. This is one lesson I want to give to everyone. When you are old , you understand each other and are happy together. Marry that person.
Me- Hmmm...What about your love now? Is she married?
Old Man- I don't know....no idea....we lost touch after I got married And we parted our ways for good, for each other's happiness. She always wanted me to be happy, even if its without her. As far as I know from a common friend, she adopted a child as she always wanted to. She used to strongly believe that it's the values which make a person and not the DNA.
Me- Yes, I also believe that. And here, the classic example of the movie-Dhadkan, where Akshay Kumar was the step son and he respected her step mother most , despite of her indifference with her real children. Another example of the movie- Kabhi Khushi kabhi Gham, where Shahrukh Khan is the adopted child.
You didn't try to find out, if she is married or has someone in her life? May be, life has another chance for you in love....you never know.
Old Man- I don't know....I didn't have the courage and face to show her.
Me- You know what, I can relate with you quite well and understand you as well. One of the chapters of my life is quite similar to you. Some years back, a guy 8 years younger to me had fallen for me. It was a very strong soul connection. We were quite similar in many things and used to understand each other quite well. He felt such love and strong connection only for me in his life and none other. And I could not say yes to him because I felt I am elder to him and he should marry someone of his age., as he might regret his decision some years later. I thought he would be happy with someone of his age, his happiness was more important for me.
Similarly, in your case, for her, your happiness was more important than hers and that's what real love is .
Old Man- You should always follow your heart and soul in case of love. That's my advise. True love chooses very few and its beyond age, outer beauty, society norms and all.
Me- Hmmm. There is no way, you can find her and be together again? I really wish two people who are so much in love, should be together. Love forgives also. Gove yourself a chance again.
Old Man- Its too late now I think.
Me- Its never late for, when you follow your heart and soul. You never know, what life can bring you as a surprise the next moment. May be, you never know, she might still be somewhere waiting for you.
Many times, we don't realize the value of something until we lose it. We become practical in everything and use our minds, and sometimes its too late to go back . The lesson from the story of old man is that we should always follow our heart and soul, specially in love, very few are the lucky ones who are chosen by true love. And that' s where happiness is. If you have love, you have everything, happiness, peace, joy, but without love, everything is incomplete. As we all know, classic example of Actor Sushant Singh Rajput's story, since the time he left his love, Ankita, he wasn't happy despite of having everything and he regretted losing her and missed her till his last breath.
Never lose your true love!! Never give up on love before it's too late !!!

Well we all have been in love at some point of our lives, an unforgettable feeling of deep, intense love where your heart beats for someone - the only one who you feel so connected, who is so special for you that you do all crazy things for him which you have not done for anybody. You miss him so much . You get worried about him like hell. You keep thinking and dreaming about him. This love inspires you, uplifts you. It has no time or age. It can happen anywhere anytime. It just happens and you feel this person is the one for you, your soul mate, your hero, your Prince Charming!! He is so different from everyone in the world.
Today, I will tell you a real love story of a girl. A very cute and innocent girl, though independent but simple at heart. Being an introvert, she doesn't make friends easily To her, once a friend, always a friend!! Though she is charming and people get fond of her very easily but still she maintains distance with people, specially boys and is always busy with her goals and career. A very different girl from this world and her friends often call her stupid for being so different and having a different ideology. You remember Madhuri Dixit 's character and her ideology in the movie "Dil toh Pagal hai?" So her ideology about love is quite similar to that character played by Madhuri Dixit in that movie. You don't find Love, Real Love finds you on its own!! She has her own dreams and she follows then. Her own dream-world. She believes in true love, not the one you find these days. To her, love is a union of two souls and hearts. It is an intense connection between two souls and hearts.
As usual, she was busy with her career, her work, when one day, her childhood friend, Riya, who is quite opposite to her in nature . Riya is more outgoing and experimenting. And she always wanted her friend, Shal to find a nice guy for herself,, so she used to keep introducing her to many guys but without any success. She always felt that Shal deserves a very nice guy to be with, so she kept on trying to convince her. You know how friends are, Right? They care so much for you that they would do all such crazy things for you. She told her that she has found a nice friend online while playing a game.
Riya - Oh dear, he is very decent and nice. He wants to make new friends. He is an Indian but born and brought up outside India. He is my friend now and I want you also to talk to him.
Shelly -No thanks! You please carry on, I am genuinely not interested. And you know that I don't make friends like this specially online. And I have no time for all this, OK dear!!
Riya - Talk to him once na please!!
Shelly- No dear
Riya - Please dear, You never know you might find a nice friend in him.
Shelly- You know that for me, "Once a friend, always a friend!! " It consists of trust and understanding. I don't believe in making friends like this dear. Friendship just happens naturally, not like this na.
Riya - See, I want you to make new friends and he is alone in life, looking for a nice friend. He has been very hurt in his life and a nice decent boy. Talk to him once please. If you don't feel like, then I won't insist again but pls for my sake, talk to him once.
Shelly- OK!! But only for you and only once.
Riya got Shelly and the boy, Roohan connected with each other. Also, Riya had already told Roohan that Shal is a very nice, decent, sensitive person, so don't hurt her at all.
Roohan- Hi Shelly, This is Roohan. Your friend, Riya has given me your number. Hope you know!!
Shelly- Yes, I know. Hi Roohan! Quite a different name though. See, pls don't mind but I don't make friends like this online and without meeting. Also, I keep very busy with my work and career goals. Riya insisted me to talk to you but I am not sure if I can give you that much time or be friends with you. Becoz, to me, once a friend, always a friend!! .
Roohan - Same with me also. And I really appreciate your honesty and straight forwardness . So, what do you do?
Shelly - I am a Marketing professional. So, I don't get much time and I am always on my toes. And you?
Roohan - I am a Marketing Research Analyst and a psychologist.
Shelly - So, You are from Montreal and right now in India. I have been to Montreal once and then to Germany and Shanghai for a week on an official visit.
So, when are you coming to Delhi? As I told you that I don't make friends like this without meeting in person.
Roohan - Oh yes! So, someone is waiting for me?
Shelly - Oh pls, I can wait for my career but not for a man pls. Sorry to say this, but not worth my time.
Roohan - Hmmm. ?U know, I lost my mom and dad at an early age, when I was in my school, in an accident unfortunately. But whatever little time I could spend with my mom, she used to always tell me - " Never hurt a woman, bcoz she is the one who gives you life. She is the only one who gives you birth and gives you life. "
Shelly - Hmmm.....sorry to know about your parents. And you are a self made man, Nice to know this.
Riya - So, how's he? Worth as a friend? Nice guy?
Shelly - You know, I take a lot of time in opening up or trusting someone. But he seems to be different from others. He is honest and respects women a lot. Unfortunately, he has no family, only an Aunt and has a lot of pain inside, though he has not shared much yet. He doesn't want sympathy from anyone, that's also one good thing about him unlike other guys. Strong, self made man and open minded too.
Roohan and Shelly started having endless conversations. And one day, Riya and Shelly went to a dance party when, while coming back , they were followed and stalked by some cheap men.
Roohan - Have you reached home safely?
Shelly - Yes, thanks!! But gosh, u know, we were waiting for the cab and there was a huge jam, the cab guy took time to reach us. In the meantime, we were followed by some cheap men. We got the cab then and got into it safely.
Roohan - Gosh, Delhi men!!
Shelly- Hmmm... so it doesn't happen there.. u mean?
Roohan - Shelly Can I say something pls?
Shelly- yes pls, Roohan say
Roohan- I think I am falling in love with you Shelly. I have been protective about my friends in the past, but last night, I felt really protective and worried about you
Shelly - Are you kidding? You must be really joking. We haven' t even met yet and you are 7 years younger to me.
Roohan - I can't help. I have never felt like this for anyone before in my life ever. Trust me!! I so wanna meet you and take you in my arms, if you allow me. I can still feel you in the air I breathe. I feel you here around me.
Shelly - You are crazy. Roohan!! Sleep now
Roohan - Titanic movie? You jump, I jump. So you sleep, I sleep!!
Shelly- OK, Good night!! Close your eyes and sleep.
Roohan - You know, I just don't get sleep.
Shelly- OK, today you will get good sleep. Close your eyes and imagine about your dreams or anything nice, anything you like, anything which makes you happy..... May be ur mom.
Roohan. Hmmm.... OK..... I will think about you.
Shelly- Good morning!! You had a good sleep last night?
Roohan - Yes, for the first time in my life, I had a very good sleep. Now, I always wake up thinking about you and sleep only thinking about you. You inspire me Shelly!! What have you done to me? I have been a Hard Rock man. You have changed me. I really cherish this love and care. I have become a soft hearted guy now from a Hard Rock guy. People have always bullied me and were always sympathetic towards me. Hope this is not sympathy for me, what you feel?
Shelly- No Roohan, You are a very nice person at heart and I feel some strong connection with you.
Suddenly, one day, Roohan gets food poisoning and he is hospitalized. Life and death situation where he is fighting for his life alone.
Roohan - I want to live Shelly. I want to see you. I want to be with you. Can you pls come online, video call? I don't know if I will be able to see you ever. And if that's my last wish.
Shelly- Pls don't say this. You will be fine Roohan really! Is there anyone with you right now? I wish I could be there with you now but you are in Canada and I am here in India. I am awake whole night and I am here for you. Just a msg or a call away Roohan. Close your eyes and feel I am near you. You cant give up Roohan. We have to meet soon. Remember?
Shelly to Riya - I don't know, something is changing in me. I feel that I might not be able to see him ever in this life. I feel a strange soul connection with him which I I have never felt for anyone before. Sometimes, I feel that something pushes me towards him, some strange force, something binds me to him. I have never felt like this before. You know, so many guys like me for my outer beauty, but he has seen and liked my soul. He accepts me the way I am. He encourages me always for my dreams. He understands me and my dreams so well. We complete sentences. He understands what I don't say. He is able to read my soul. And he respects women so much . He is quite different from others men. Very different. I am so worried. I wish I could go to Montreal right now to see him and just be with him.
After 1 year
Roohan - Hi Shelly my sunshine!!
Shelly- Hi Roohan, My Angel!!
Roohan - I missed you a lot I really love you!! Pls be mine!!
Shelly- You missed me and that's why you vanished? No contact? I missed you too. Let's meet and talk pls.
Roohan - I want an answer now. Yes or No. I want to know that when I meet you, Can I sleep in your lap? Can I hold you in my arms?
Shelly- Pls understand, I feel a strong connection with you which I have never felt for anyone in my life ever. But it's not that simple Roohan. You are much younger to me, about 9 years. You might regret your decision later after 10 years. I will grow old faster than you. I might lose my beauty then. I might not be able to give you a normal family also. What is Love to you?
Roohan - To me, Love is you!! And will always be "You!! " Whether your answer is Yes or No , I will wait for you throughout my life. I always felt that I am destined to walk alone but since you have entered my life, I feel I want to walk with you. Allow me to take care of you. We will together make things work out.
Shelly - Pls don't do this. Let's meet sometime soon pls. Plan a visit to Delhi pls. To me, Love is a lifetime commitment.
Roohan - I so wanna meet you. I have just started my business. Let me set up everything. Then I will meet you and your family once and take you with me. As once I will meet you, I wont be able to stay away from you even for a second.
Shelly- OK!! Hope to see you soon. What if you don't find me as beautiful when we meet?
Roohan - Your eyes and smile tell me that you have a golden heart and a very pure soul. A beautiful heart matters the most to me. And to me, you will always be beautiful irrespective of your age or outer beauty. Real love happens when two hearts and souls meet. You only say it's a heart and soul union. Whenever I take my breath, with every breath of mine, It's you , Shelly!! You are my inspiration and will always be! What if you don't find me worthy enough when we meet?
Shelly - It will never happen Roohan!!! You are worthy of everything and will always be. You are a self made man who values human emotions. You will definitely find a better girl than me of your age who is decent and loving and caring.
Roohan - Oh pls Shelly ! I want you only or none!! That's it. I told you, I will wait for you throughout my life else I will walk alone.
Shelly - Hmmmm
After 1 year-
Roohan - Hi Shelly! How are you? How have you been? I have been freaking out to find if you are fine.
Shelly - Hi Roohan !! I am fine thanks. And You?
Roohan - Don't ask pls.... What all I have gone through. My business got shattered. Some big legal issue and legal mess happened. I could survive only because of you. I was thinking about you and you were my inspiration always. You are the only love of my life and will always be. You are my life. You are my world and will always be. But I am a hollow man from inside now. I don't want to hurt the person, I care about most in my life and that's you!! I don't want to hurt you at all. I can't keep you happy. You deserve someone better than me. I have no feelings, no emotions for anyone now. I am just a machine now. World is cruel ,Shal. I wish you Luck!! I wish to be in touch with you but I don't think in this birth , we can ever meet, I am not sure, I don't know. ..I am destined to walk alone. Pls forget me and be happy. I will be like this now. Good Bye Shelly. I am a turbulent water and you are a stable river. I don't want to disturb your stable life .
Shelly - There are no Byes Roohan!! Pls don't say all this. You always take a strong part of my heart away with you. It's a strong soul connection, I have never felt for anyone. I want to tell you so much. I always thought, I will tell you when we meet. ?..I am not understanding anything.... What should I do.
Riya to Shelly- Ohh dear??.I am very sorry?..I was the one who connected you to him.. You were so right?..you can never trust people online???there is an old song also?..Pardesiyon se na aankhiyaan milana??.pardesiyon ko hai ek din jaana?.
But I never knew that you will get so attached to him without even meeting??.it keeps happening these days yaaar??come out of your fantasy world into reality?..who knows he was just lieing??.
Shelly to Riya- Hmmmm??its not you who connected me to him??it was the Universe. There was something definitely strong between us?..I don?t know?may be we had a role to play in each other?s lives and it was destined?..and you were only a medium. And I don?t want to judge him at all dear??I could feel someone around me for the first time, I could see someone in the moon for the first time?..and that?s crazy for a girl like me who doesn?t allow anyone and meets so many people??I just cant explain the feeling to you?..its a beautiful feeling??.I wish him all the happiness in the world??He will always be there in my memories and in one part of my heart and soul.
Roohan loved Shelly enough to let her go for her happiness. And Shelly still hopes and wishes that they will meet one day. It is one of her dreams to meet him once in this birth and dance with him once. She wants to confess her feelings to him once . I remember that deep melodious song here... "Zinda rehna ke liye Teri Kasam, Ek mulakat zuroori hai Sanam!! " .....
Some love stories are incomplete and mysterious. And some connections without even meeting, where only hearts and souls connect, are beautiful enough. Because it's a heart and soul union. And there is no physical attraction. Movies like ""Sirf Tum"" and " Na Tum Na Jaano Na Hum " can be real, I didn't know. Let's believe in Love!! It changes us so much , evolves us and makes us a much better human being.
Let me know how do you feel reading this unique, mysterious, incomplete love story. I will let you know if the story moves forward by destiny in future. Or may be, it was meant to be like this, who knows? Only time and Universe knows and can tell !! Some soul connections are such!! Some stories a re such. May be they had a role to play in each other's lives and that's why they connected like this. Love sometimes is strange, crazy yet beautiful!! It finds you on its own when you least expect it and finds its own way!!
Let the bird of Love set free, if it comes back to you, It's yours, and if it doesn't, it was never Yours!!
You also share any of your love stories. Would love to read!!
Lots of love and my best wishes!!
Stay safe, stay blessed and stay happy always!!

Ohhhhh!! You know...I just love birds. I am a birds person and I am sure, like me, many of you must be so fond of birds. I just love watching them for hours. Though, I love watching moon and the waves of the ocean also for hours, but for now, I want to talk about my favorite loving birds.
One of the beautiful lovely creations of nature, a gift of Universe to us. I just wish, we could talk to them, understand their feelings and emotions better. How amazing, it could have been then, just imagine for a while...Parrots, sparrows, pigeons, peacocks and those different colored birds. How amazingly beautiful they are!! And peacocks, my favorite, specially, the white ones, when they open their feathers and dance. Ohhhh maaye maaye!! I was lucky enough to see them dancing once in rain.
As white is for peace, seeing white peacocks with feathers open and dancing was really like heaven on earth, amazingly beautiful. And to my surprise, they were talking to each other and to me as well.
Peacock 1 - Hey, it's about to rain heavily. I feel like dancing. Lets open our feathers and dance together.
Peacock 2- Lovely!! I also want to dance and open my feathers. But aahhh!! in a while, I am so hungry right now.
Peacock 1- Hey All!! Let's make a circle and dance together. We will look alike. We are the most beautiful creation of nature. People love watching us for hours.
Peacock 2- Really? You don't get scared by these people who come to watch us who want to come near us? Many times, they even throw stones on us. We also have feelings, we also get hurt. We are not a showpiece that they want to see us all the time. It's always the outer beauty they like the outer appearance. These human beings are selfish. They just see the outer beauty and not the inner feelings or our soul. Their eyes can see only limited, outer surface, not beyond the surface beneath it. If we wouldn't have been beautiful, they wouldn't have come to us or offered us food. I get so tired of them, looking at me.
Peacock 1- Well, not all human beings are like this. Remember, a cute little child had come to us yesterday? She was so happy, smiling pure and innocent like an angel. She also offered me food. I was so happy. She was very sweet.
Peacock 2- Ok...Let's dance now!! It's a beautiful lovely weather. It's raining. Hey!! Wait....there is someone coming near us. A human being.....should we hide??
Peacock 1- She looks like a nice sweet girl. Her smile gives me good vibes. Lets not hide...Let's enjoy!!! Lets make her also happy!! She is sitting alone and crying. Why is she crying?
Peacock 1 comes near me and spreads its feathers on me, on my face and asks me, " Why are you crying? Why are you sad? What has happened? Someone has thrown stones at you also? Beaten you?
Me- You will not understand. Both of us are created by nature but your life and our lives are so different. You don't have any pressure. You are free to do anything in your life. You can fly, you can dance whenever you want to, you can eat anything. But we have so much pressure in our life. We have to struggle so much to have food, to live, to wear clothes. We have so many expectations of others to fulfill. I wish I could just be you, free like you.
Peacock 1- Oh my dear!! As it is said " The grass is always greener on the other side!!" You can do so many things which we cant do. Universe has made all of us unique and together we can make a beautiful balance in the world, if we start valuing each other, respecting each other , caring for each other and loving each other. All of us need each other in some or the other way. And then we can see beauty everywhere. You are caged and you cage everyone.....that's not love!! Be free and then see, everything will become beautiful. Follow your heart and soul your inner voice.
Me- Yes You are so right!! Thank you so much my darling peacock!!! I love you so much!! You have taught me a very good lesson today.
Suddenly where is this huge sound coming from the huge noise...?Oh my alarm clock.....its 8 am in the morning....Where have the peacocks gone? I was with them a while ago....They were so awesome...?.Mom, Did you see my white peacocks? They were here with me just now.....
Mom- What peacocks? We have got parrots and different colored birds for you last evening and they are here....see....talking to you....chirping!!
Me- Thanks Mom!! I don't want to cage them. I care for them I love them and I want them to be free .
So, it was a dream , a lovely dream where I had last night where I met my lovely friends, my peacocks.

Stay safe, stay blessed and stay happy always!!
Lots of love and my best wishes always !!

Its the inner beauty of heart and soul which matters in life and not the outer beauty!!!
A story of an ugly looking girl who is not liked by anyone in the college and how her inner beauty impacts and changes everyone's mindset.
Well, we all , in our childhood days, at some point of time, have been compared with others around us, and we are made to see ourselves as how others see us. And what is Beauty? Is it what you see in the mirror? Or is it what you cant see in the mirror, and its beyond that?
So, today, I want to share a story of a girl who is in her 1st year of college, dark skin face and not good looking at all, but very simple and good at heart. She is shy yet very helpful, always trying to help others, making notes for everyone as she was very regular and studious in his classes. But everyone used to bully her and many times she used to sit alone and cry. She had no friends. All boys used to laugh at her. Her name is Ritu.
One day, when she was sitting alone having her lunch in the college canteen, and as usual, everyone started bullying her. They snatched her lunch and started to pass it on amongst themselves like a ball. Then to her surprise, a boy named Nikhil came to her seat and said...
Nikhil- Hey, guys!! What' s going on here? Why are you bothering her like this?
Guys- Hey Nikhil, You are a cool dude of the college. What are you doing with such a clumsy girl?
Nikhil- Give her lunch back right now. She doesn't say anything to you, that doesn't mean you will do anything with her. In fact, let me make you remember that you guys pass in your exams because of her. You guys should be ashamed.
Guys- Ok Nikhil!! Ohhh....Ritu Nikhil saved you today, else we had full plan to eat your lunch today, you clumsy ugly girl.
Ritu- Thanks Nikhil!! Thanks a lot really......Ritu( in tears)?I just cant thank you enough....you don't know what you have done for me.
Nikhil- Its ok Ritu. Don't worry....nobody will bother you now.
Nikhil used to help her like this always and then they became nice friends. She always used to help him in his class notes and in preparation of exams. And one day came when Nikhil 's girlfriend got to know about their friendship. She was very fair and beautiful. Her name was Riny.
Riny- I am looking for you everywhere Nikhil and you are here with this clumsy girl. What the hell is going on?
Nikhil- No dear!! I am always with you. She is nobody, sweetheart. I was with her only to take help in the notes. She attends all the classes yaar and good in studies. Understand yaar....You and she have no comparison at all. Relax dear.
Ritu- What are you saying Nikhil? Why don't you tell her that we are friends.....good friends...?And, in fact, I have started liking you and I really respect you. You are a very nice person and I thought you like me too. You said that too.
Nikhil- What? Are you out of your mind? I would like you....Really? Are you out of your senses? Forget about me.....Who on this earth can like you? Show me one guy who can really like you. I was with you just because of my exams and they are over now....So, just get lost!! I don't want any mess between me and Riny.
Ritu was in tears and came back home but could not stop crying. Why does it happen to me always? Am I so bad? God, tell me pls!! Why have you not made me beautiful? I will not pity myself like this anymore. I love3and accept myself the way I am I am unique in my own ways. I will prove it to myself and everyone one day
Some months later, unfortunately Nikhil's father died in an accident He was in a deep shock and stopped going to college. He failed in all his exams Everyone stopped talking to him. One day, a letter from college came, mentioning that his college fees is due and he wont be able to continue his college, if it is not deposited.
He went to college next day and asked all his friends for help but everyone ignored him.
Nikhil- Hey guys!! I need your help pls. You know my father is no more and I have to deposit my fees, else, I wont be able to continue the college.
Friends- Hey Nikhil!! We are also helpless yaar....Sorry yaar!! We are getting late for the class yaar.....see you later. Sorry to know about your father yaar.
Nikhil- Guys!! There was a time when I had spent so much on you guys....all the bills of party.....everything I paid and today, when I need you.....all of you are helpless and ignoring me.
Nikhil- Riny, my love!! Where have you been? I missed you so much....pls help me. I really need your help.
Riny- Ohhh dear, You know na, all my pocket money goes in my cosmetics and beauty products. I have nothing left. Try to manage na somehow......don't worry ......I got to go now....... Sammy is waiting for me.
Nikhil- Damm you!! There was a time, I used to spend all my money on you......I bought all the gifts for you....all that you wanted I bought for you....all the expensive stuff And now, for the first time, when I need your help....you dont have anything for me.....not even the time.
Riny...You also had fun...ok.....so don't blame me for anything.....you had me as your girlfriend...the most beautiful girl of the college.....anybody would want to be with me.
Nikhil- I deserve all this treatment. Now, I realize.
Nikhil goes to the admin of the college and requests him to give him some more time to deposit his fees, so that he can arrange.
Admin- Your fees is deposited Nikhil. Don't worry. You can fill this form and join the college again from tomorrow..
Nikhil- But who has paid it? Pls tell me.
Admin- No, I cant tell you...I am not supposed to....
Nikhil- Pls admin....pls tell me
Admin- Ritu has done it.
Nikhil - Really? Ritu? I did so bad with him and she still helped me......gosh!!
Ritu......Ritu.......I need to find her.....Where is she
Nikhil- Ritu, Thanks and really sorry. ....I did so bad with you.....still you helped me.....why? And how could you? I remember, you struggle to pay your fees....so how did you and where did you manage for me?
Ritu- Its ok!! I had got scholarship, so I could pay your fees. And I always treated you as my friend even if you didn't. There are no conditions in love and friendship.
Nikhil- I said so much to you. I had hurt u badly...I realize it now. It's always the inner beauty , the purify of heart and soul which matters in life. I don't deserve your friendship...but can we be friends again?
Ritu- I am not sure.....its my last day in college today......I am moving out of the city. You take care and loads of good luck!!
The same day evening, Ritu is awarded with " Best student of the college award " and the scholarship. Everyone in the college was stunned and shocked. Before she left the college, everyone, her classmates felt ashamed and said sorry to her.
Some months later, Nikhil is in the same college, has changed so much.....always with himself...focusing on his studies....he has become responsible now. But he still misses Ritu and he feels deep love for her. He wishes to meet her someday and can tell her that he really loves her. But may be it was too late and he had lost her.
The next day when Nikhil went to college, he saw Riny. And to his surprise, everyone was laughing at her.
Nikhil- What has happened to you? I just couldn't recognize you. What are these marks all over?
Riny- I don't know how I have got this skin disease all over my body and face.....I look so ugly....Riny said in tears.
Nikhil- Hmmm.......
Riny- I am sorry Nikhil....I was so proud of my outer beauty.....I deserve this. ..I have hurt you, I used to make so much fun of Ritu.....God, pls forgive me!!
Well some lessons from the story-
1. It's always the inner beauty, the purity of heart and soul which matters.
2. Sometimes its late to realize the importance of a person in your life, may be after you lose him/ her. And its too late that sometimes they just don't cone back so value them, as they are a precious jewel amongst all the stones around you. Few lines of the song here from the movie - kal ho na ho, I want to add, " Chahe jo tumhe poore dil se, milta hai woh mushkil se, aisa jo koi kahin hai, bas wohi sabse haseen hai....us haath ko tum thaam lo woh meherbaan kal ho na ho!!! "
3. Never be proud of anything you have. You never know when its lost from you or taken away form you.
4. Always treat people the way you want to be treated ad very rightly said, ^ You reap what you sow.
5. If you believe in yourself and build yourself from inside irrespective of how the world sees you, you can really make it big and achieve all your dreams one day like Ritu did in this story.

Well, many people in my life have asked me this question many times and then, when I thought about the answer to this question, I felt, " Wish!!" What is a wish? Is it something which you just say in your heart and sometimes, unknowingly it gets fulfilled. And then, you say, "Wow, I wish I had asked something else also to the Universe/ God today and he would have given it to me. Ohhh, mai mai, why didn't I wish that today? Or is it a conscious prayer we do to God with folding hands?
Well, Well, Well!! To me, a wish is something which is deep rooted in your heart and very difficult to be fulfilled. So, here is my wish list -
1. I had this childhood friend of mine,, when I was a very very young child of about 7 years and I used to play with a very young boy almost of my age then and my brother. We used to play daily in the evening which became a habit for us. And then, one day, while playing, he kissed me on my cheeks and my forehead and said, "When I will grow big enough, I will marry you!! " It was an impact of movies on him or a very cute childhood love and affection, I don't know, but it was very warm and heart touching that it left a mark on my heart and mind with a beautiful memory. What I remember, soon after this incident, we shifted from that place to some other rented place. And since then, till date, I have no contact with him. I don't even remember his face or name, just this beautiful memory. Whenever I checked with my mom about him, she told me that he had a hole in his heart. If by any chance, I happen to meet him today, I won't be able to recognize him. And this is my first wish that I really hope he is fine, happy and I wish if I could meet him just once in this lifetime.
2. My second wish is to meet the savior of my life once and say " Thank You!!" to him from the bottom of my heart. Well, this small chapter of my life, is like a scene from a movie. Really!! This was when I was studying in the first year of my graduation college. One of the days, as usual, I was coming back from my college in the Blue line bus. It was around evening time, I think about 5 pm and I had my usual class of professional course I was doing that time in the evening. So, I had to get down from the bus at Janak Puri stop. While I was standing near the gate to get down from the bus holding the handle tightly. Suddenly, the driver had put a break or something and couple of people from my behind pushed me so hard that I fell from the moving bus. I became unconscious and when I regained my consciousness. I really wanted to meet him once and thank him from my heart and soul but could never get an opportunity. When my friends got to know about this incident and came to see me, they really laughed and surprisingly said,
My friends- " Wow!! What a real filmy story but incomplete, the hero went off, just saving the gal 's life but without meeting her or saying anything. What a gentleman and a selfless man rarely found these days. Ohhhh, so sad!! An incomplete Love story!!
Me- I was like, " You guys are really silly!! "
Friends- Chalo....Apne hero ko dhoondhke laate hain...
Me- Haan Haan!! Jaldi jao......jaldi jaake leke aao......Mujhe usey thanks bolna hai....he really saved my life. Nahi toh main abhi pata nahi kahaan hoti. I cant thank him enough.
Friends- Par sawaal yeh hai....dhoondhe kahaan? Koi photo bhi nahi......nahi toh poster hi lagwa dete...
Me- Haan zuroor!! Tum log mujhe dekhne aaye ho.....ki aise masti karne? Kaise dost ho....Tum jaise paagal ko milke toh woh fir se bhaag jayega
Friends- Usey rukna toh chahiye tha na yaar thodi der.....Milte aise rare helpful, kind hero se.....kahaan milta hai aisa koi aajkal.....He dropped her home, she was unconscious. Tera address kaise mila usey?
Me- My college Id card from my bag.
Friends- ohhhhh.....Full filmy story yaar....but incomplete story.....jaaane kab kahaan kisi modh pe fir mile.....
Me- you guys , I tell you....really na......I have no words.......chalo, let me rest now....its paining.
Friends- ok ok....you take rest, get well soon....we will see you again soon......and Haaan.....apna Hero mile toh batana haan
3. My third wish is to meet the bestie of my life once, who is not in this world anymore , but yes in the Universe like a shining star. I want to have some incomplete conversations with him. He was and is an Angel and guide of my life.
4. My fourth wish is to see a happy and peaceful world in my lifetime, where people are spreading endless love, smile, happiness amongst each others. Nobody is in pain and everybody is joyful and enjoying like s child. Everyone is helping each other selflessly irrespective of ego, gender, caste, religion, community or class. It's a happy happy world. Everyone is dancing on the music of nature and life!!
5. My fifth wish is to see a world where everyone is equal. Everyone has a lot of respect for each other, be it, a gal, boy, transgender people, senior citizens, poor. A society which is not gender biased and everyone is respected. Also, where a woman is no more a sex object to be played and exploited with. And humanity is the only motto and prevails.
6. Well, the list of my wishes is endless. My sixth wish is to see a world where there is nobody poor and has basic needs to meet - food, clothes, water and shelter. Where nobody is helpless. A world where everyone is educated and literate.
7. My seventh wish is to see the young generation who has values and is mature enough, who is sensitive to the needs of old and children. Where all generations can spend nice time together like the movie, "Kal Aaj Kal "
8. My Eighth wish is to meet Mother Teresa someday somewhere and take her interview.
Well, my list is endless, but I think enough for now!! What are your wishes? Do share with me.. I would love to read.
Keep reading for more...
Lots of love and my best wishes!!
Stay safe, stay blessed and stay happy always

Well, the year 2020, the most challenging year for all of us, when just one moment changed everyone 's life, our lives. Zindgi jaise ruk gayi sabki aur meri bhi. The year made us see and experience so much which we never ever could even dream of. Thanks to corona virus, we all know which has effected our lives so suddenly and drastically. Today, I want to share my experiences from last year, 2020, the year of uncertainties for all of us, which has finally left us with many learnings, memories and experiences. The year, we were so eagerly waiting to end and go.
So many people lost their lives, many people lost their close ones, many went through a lot of pain- physical , emotional , mental and what not, across the world. Many lost their jobs, many didn't have food to eat. Some got stuck and away from their close ones. Nobody knew what will happen to them next moment. We had nothing to do. All of us were locked in our houses and not allowed to go out. None of us knew, when we would be able to step out and live a normal life again...moments became days days became months ?just the wait, wait and wait.
You know, in my college days, I had one teacher who was quite young, open minded and fun loving, she was more like a friend to us than a teacher or a mentor. And one day, in our class, she asked a question to all of us
Our loving teacher- Guys , what if you are given Rs. 5 lac to stay at a place for a month but you cant do anything, you have to sit idle. You will get this money after the month is over. You will be given the basic needs during this period- food, clothing and shelter. What will you do? Will you take it?
My classmates- Yes mam, we will.
Teacher- Really? You can stay idle for a month?
Classmates- Yes mam.
All of them who said yes, had their own reasons, some said, " We don't have to work and ..its so good" ..some said, " We need money to pay our loans. "
Teacher- You don't realize it now, as it is said that an idle mind is a devil's mind and its true.
Through this question, she was checking our attitude towards life and creativity.
So, in 2020, the year of stagnancy, I came across many people known to me , whose relationships broke and fell apart where in some really grew more, bonded more. In all this chaos and mess, the good part what I realized was, we started spending more time with our family and close ones, we started helping each other ..the humanity instinct developed in us , and many of us running in this race of life daily, had lost the connection with ourselves whichever we could find and discover again. Some of my friends who had lost touch with me, they re- connected with me and started caring for me. But, so strange na, at one point of time, everywhere, everyone's life is different at the same point of time...whether, its USA or India, Canada or Australia, the time is same but life is different for everyone at that point of time. And that's life!! That's life really. It helps us seeing life from another person's perspective, someone else's perspective. And that's the key that's the learning!!
I lost one of my students in 2020. He was always smiling and a fun loving student of my class but who knew that he was going through so much pain in his life. He had a hole in his heart since his childhood and that's the reason, his parents didn't want to keep him with them. They threw him from a running train one day to get rid of him. Luckily, he survived and was born and brought up by an orphan. When I got to know the news of his death, I just could not stop my tears which kept on flowing day and night. And I started writing more during this period. Like all of you, I had lost myself in my day to day life, and this period gave me an opportunity to find myself again, focus on my passions and take out time for them like my writing.
Some people were so lonely, that they had nobody to talk to, away from their families. Like one of my friends, who has been independently working, making short films , suddenly had no option than to sit idle, as the entertainment, luxury industry was badly hit. Out of loneliness, he got into a relationship which did not long last, due to which he was getting into depression and had nobody to talk to him. Soon, he started relating himself with late Actor Sushant Singh Rajput. His name is Rohit.
Rohit- Hello, my friend ?.How are you?
Me- Hi Rohit, I am fine...Thanks.....How are you?
Rohit- I am not fine.
Me- What happened?
Rohit - I love a girl. She was so fond of me but now for few days she doesn't want to talk to me. We had a fight and since then, she is not responding not taking my calls. I have said sorry many times but still. Am I that bad?
Me- No Rohit!! Give her some space. Don't worry!! All will be fine soon. If she is meant for you, she will definitely be with you.
Sometime later, after many such conversations we had, my friend, Rohit could regain himself back and is now, the same independent workaholic happy person. I think, sometimes life challenges us, gives us some experiences to evolve us, to make us a better version of ourselves.
For me, 2020, was a year full of mixed experiences, mixed emotions and lot of learnings. I have evolved so much. I learnt many new things and discovered myself more. I became more open and expressive. And , the most important, I learnt to take the life, the day as it comes....going with the flow is the key sometimes. Accepting things and situations as it is, makes life and things simpler sometimes. I learnt to forgive myself and others. Its important to cleanse our minds and hearts. Life is too short for any negativity in your hearts. I learnt to be more positive, more hopeful and having more faith in myself and the Universe. Everything happens for a reason. We might plan so much in our lives, but life has its own plan for us. Never give up as one moment can change your life.
With this I want to say Good bye to 2020 and welcome 2021 with my whole heart and soul. I also pray and wish for unfortunate people , also wishing peace in the world from now onwards. I am sure and hopeful, 2021 will give us many reasons to smile. . I wish all my readers , all of you a Very Happy New Year 2021!!
Keep reading for more and you also share your experiences, would love to read. Do share your thoughts in the comments section below.
Lots of love and my best wishes!!
Stay safe, stay blessed and stay happy always!!
