The day the kid walked Out of the Cradle

Four years back, I was struggling for a niche, crawling to make up a place in this world where people recognize you, yes YOU by your deeds. Where you're the king one day, and you could turn out to be a beggar the same day. Life and survival of the fittest.

I got a chance when I was selected by an IT firm, four years ago, a chance to find an existence. It wasn't a five point someone or the mistakes in my life. It was just me and I had my own story to tell.

I was asked to relocate to Mumbai. I had to move to a new place after twenty three years in Odisha and I guess it was my time to come out of the shell and break the comfort zone. Phew !! Its gonna be tough ! Assumptions and perceptions all around, I moved over to Mumbai with a heavy heart and mind, unaware about the how the situations would react to me.

My First Ever Blog Award - LIEBSTER AWARD !!!!!

I knew nothing about this until I got this award from someone random and I googled in the word "Liebster Award. This award is given to bloggers by other bloggers.  

 It’s a cyber-award handed around by bloggers and once the recipient has answered 11 questions, they pass it on to another 11 bloggers with 11 questions that they have thought up. Mention has to be made of the person that nominated them and these 11 then do the same, and so on. I’m led to believe that each nominee writes a new post on their blog, just as I have done here.

• This award exists only on the internet, and is given to bloggers by other bloggers.
• It has German origins – the word “liebster” has several definitions: dearest, sweetest, kindest, nicest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome, sweetheart and boyfriend (really?)
• It follows similar principles as a chain letter, in the sense that it should be passed forward to a certain number of people.
• It can be misconstrued, depending upon your personal views, as either something wonderful (who doesn’t like awards?) or as an annoyance (a chain letter that involves work).
• The choice lies within each of us to ACCEPT it, and continue PAYING IT FORWARD or to refuse to accept it, thereby STOPPING or INTERRUPTING the chain. However, if you stop the chain, you are only hurting yourself (keep reading for benefits you will have)!
• Personal views play an important part in our choice to participate. Some people have refused to accept it and have made attempts to “break the chain”. There have been many people who have been nominated, yet refused to accept it, and now their blogs have been abandoned.
• Variations have been made over time to the “rules”.
• Marketing plays a role in accepting this award, as other bloggers are promoted. (This is not a bad thing, however, since people should help others!)
• Other awards are a part of the whole “meme“. These include “One Lovely Blog Award”, the “Sunshine Blog Award” and the “Versatile Writer Award”.

Would be awarding this Liebster Award to other such upcoming Blogs soon.

Sweet place within - We call it heart !!

You pump the blood in me
You trigger the romance and intimacy
The warmth in me boasts about you
You're the messenger to another soul

Bind the feelings around
You make me feel the real human
The palpitations you create
Makes me see a bright future
Beats hard enough when scared

You're the proof of life
Only thing that keeps me alive
My first love, my first crush
Thanks for making me realize

The emotions in me are incomplete without you
You complete HIS creation
We are nothing without you

You've witnessed it all, you've made it real
Be it love, hatred , sorrow or fear
You're the sweet place within
the place we refer to as "HEART" <3

Amazing Journey - Down Under and Kiwis

Hi folks, I would like to share my amazing ( i wish i could add more A's to the word ;) ) trip to Australia and New Zealand. Returned just a week ago, and it was fun-filled and a once in a lifetime journey down under. And yes, it wasn't just about the kangaroos and kiwis, it was about koalas , beautiful and exotic locations, cool weather and yes quality time with my parents.

Having been to Europe last year, i compared Aus-NZ with Switzerland and kept thinking that it would be having something share to bestow on me. But with this low hope, when I landed there, I was spell bound by the places, the people I met there and the history of these two places.

Rich in culture and diversity, the Aussies and Kiwis loved Indian food !! This came as a surprise to us and we were quite mesmerized by the hospitality and care we got from them. Our journey from the lovely beaches, beautiful landscapes in Australia to the snow covered peaks, calm city and widespread farms in New Zealand, not to forget my first ever rendezvous with kangaroos and kiwis were just breath taking.

Accompanied by my parents, I wish this lovely journey to one of the beautiful yet advanced places on Earth, would never have ended within a couple of week. Having said this, there are still lots and lots of memories to cherish and lots to share, but in the upcoming posts.

 Just like they say,  

                               A journey ends, and another begins !!

A friend indeed

When the blood would tear its way out of my eyes
and the pain within me subsides.... 
    That day my fren you would realize it and be glad,
    the warmth of the bloody ol fren u had

The dust we both once had a bite of....
still speaks of the adventures and our lay offs
    The wound still speaks of the fall we had
    You're there, up there safe and its my duty to ward

 The shoulder is now no more, 
Armour tethered once, now a mere symbol of gore
    The fist we pumped together once, is now for each other
    This dismal weather, gotta end forever

The friend who stood besides for a fren indeed 
Was the only saviour after God, beneath..... 
    Those die hard moments and memories to cherish
    Never should they die....never perish ....
