Be Here Now.

This song is from the movie 27 Dresses. It’s my favourite part of the movie. When Jane’s heart breaks…yet again. I love the song, not because it talks about heartbreak, it does not, I love it simply because it talks about the strength you need to overcome any failure and move on. It talks about not anchoring yourself to one person/place/situation but to yourself. Because at the end when everything is washed away by the waves of sadness that Life brings in..whether or not you are washed away depends on how well you can hold onto your anchor, your hope, your voice… it all depends on how strong you are. What is happening now is for the good.What has happened was for the good and what will happen is also for the good. God has a plan for all of us and it is up to to us to be strong and wait with patience to watch every little piece of this puzzle called Life come together to make a more meaningful and beautiful picture. As my best friend puts it - treat these bad times and heartbreaks as ‘dementors’ from Harry Potter, think of times when you’ve been happier, happiest, these will be your Patronus and soon tough times will vanish as fast as they had come. Derive your strength from within and do not search for it outside and you’ll always find a reservoir of happy times,courage and laughter that will help you get by anything. The best is never over there’s always something new….so let’s move on faithfully believing in the promise that the best is yet to be.

Be Here Now – Ray LaMontagne

Don’t let your mind get weary and confused, let your will be still, don’t cry

Don’t let your heart get heavy, child inside you there’s a strength that lies,

Don’t let your soul get lonely, child it’s only time, it will go by

Don’t look for love in faces, places, it’s in you, that’s where you’ll find kindness

Be here, be here now, be here now

Be here, be here now, be here now

Don’t lose your faith in me and I will try to not lose faith in you

Don’t put your trust in walls, ‘cause walls will only crush you when they fall

Be here, be here now, be here now

Be here, be here now, be here now

As I dimmed the lights of my room last night, Singapore's hot and humid air changed to a gush of strong cold wind. The curtains fluttered and made my ddlj cow bells ring. I turned and stared at them for a long time.  I readjusted the laptop on my bed and plonked myself against two big pillows. My eyes closed themselves. There was a silence that was neither deafening nor lonely. It was just what silence is meant to be.... silent. And my curtains moved again, moving the bells with them. The bells took me back to Shahrukh and his movies. I opened my eyes and looked at those bells for a long long time. My mom had picked them up from Switzerland for me. I thought of her and teared up. I wanted her now. I wanted her touch. It was 10pm at home in India and at this time, after dinner and closing the kitchen, my mother, takes a shower. She comes out of the bathroom, and brings with her a waft of her talcum powder and her body lotion. That fragrance can make you forget all your worries...

Thanks, Dad

Do Nainaa Aur ek Kahani Thoda Sa Baadal Thoda Sa Paani Aur ek Kahani Choti Si Do Jheelon Mein Wo Behati Rehati Hai Koi Sune Ya Na Sune Kehti Rehti Hai Kuch Likh Ke Aur Kuch Zubani ~Gulzar ~~Masoom This one is devoted to my Father. You know, while growing up parents always say things to the kids and they often end their arguments with "We've grown up, crossed all the paths that you will be crossing, and we know what its like" And you often say to yourself, no way! That was a different time and these are different times, things are now different, the paths are different. And so you go on, do what you want to do. It's often happened to me. And it happened again, when I told my parents that I was dating someone. My Father wrote me an email and said a lot of things. He didnt shout, he didnt preach. But it had a nice "conversation over coffee" feel to it. And I love re-reading that email sometimes. The crux of what he said was, "I...

Goodbye 29 - July 21

Omg. 4 days to go. In four days I'll be leaving behind some of my most beautiful years but also some of my most traumatic. All lovely learning experiences nevertheless. Speaking of learning experiences, today I want to very quickly talk about being a bit more assertive. A couple of years back my manager at work then told me - I think you need to speak up more and be more assertive. Let's work on these skills and then let's also work on your promotion -   At that time I silently said in my head "yea right, just tell me straight up you don't want to put me up for promotion instead of giving me this corporate mumbo-jumbo". I have always been a believer of hard work speaks for itself and you don't need to be screaming from the rooftops about your "work" for you to get ahead in life, or for your worth to be recognised and rewarded. I have always been and will always be an introvert. I do not come across as one because I am very social and I ...
