March.ing Past

Its been a very important & busy month...a very busy month.

There had been a 100 things to attend to.. top Priority being Me.
I tried to be extra careful, extra mindful of what I did, said. Tried a total leash on my expressions, words & temper in that order. TRIED.

Didn't know where to take my line of thoughts to... where to begin with.. as all were things which deserved equal importance.

I went with the flow of days, the went on the flow of the winds..& attended to the thing that came to my mind in the mornings first.

On top of that there was always the mind talking a 1000 things at a meteoric speed, half of which as usual fell away like the dust of the galaxy stars...

Anyways, as for now, I am trying to sort the month gone by & trying to understand a certain aspect of the rigmarole of it.

March always seems the longest month to me. Wherein from my teen years it used to bring in a sense of excited anticipation for the end of the month, as finally the holiday season would begin soon...& the Mango season would start!... As of now it still seems long maybe coz its the first summer month..& the heat makes it look too long to pass through.

What am I writing this for? I dunno. Was jogging my head to write a blog for some other topic, for which today was the last day..& ended up writing this.

Feels its been a long time since I wrote something meaningful. Not that this is making any sense too......Just gave in to the itch to write.

Wishing the coming months are uncluttered & more refined.

Comeon both of you lovely couple, get back together & get the spirit of your team fired!

The Alphabet Game

Got an email couple of days back. "Know me" it said.
That took me to the time of my teens when we used to play all kinds of silly games, know me games, test your general knowledge games. It was total fun... how I miss the innocence of those days......!

That got me nostalgicising [you got the meaning, right?] & then put out this one of the most played & liked games of the years gone by.

The Alphabet game. Heard of it..?
I'm sure!

The one in which we use the first letter of an alphabet...generally your name; to answer a set of common questions.

I ofcourse twined a few of them to add a little more fun to it, than it was then. Generally it is a 10-15 second time thing per question & the answers have to be all true..not made up or peeked from here & there!

There cannot be two common answers & you cannot use any word twice.

B is what I'll begin with, as my name begins with it. & So it begins,

1. A name apart from yours: Brinda. [love that name..it means 'The incomparable one'.] Basanti too... :D

2. A boy's Name: Birbal! The intelligent. hehe..

3. Something you love: Babies!

4. An Animal: Bears...Panda bear! So cute.

5. A thing : Balloons!

6. A City name: Bangalore. Have great memories.

7. A street in the city: Begumpet.

8. A Country: Bermuda [Of the triangle mystery.]

9. A Colour: Brown..the colour of Earth.

10. Something you wear: Bright colours.

11. Food stuff: Biryani! [Hyderabadi! :)]

12. A Drink: Bournvita....once upon a time, for many years. Buttermilk.

13. A fruit: Berries. Strawberries.

14. A flower: Birds of Paradise.

15. An occupation: Book reader. :)

16. A sport: Bungee Jumping!!!

17. A movie title: Biraj Bahu! :D

18. A Song: Now this is really tough!! "Bade aache lagte hai..."

19. Something found in the bedroom: Bed.

20. Something found in the bathroom: Bucket!

21. Something annoying: Bad traffic! Burping out loudly! Bad breadth/odour, even from a safe distance!

& the game's done.
I put it up here for remembrance...the next generation may just not be ever knowing these...!

Btw, how long did it take you to play?

Experience

The best part of experience is, it not only makes you realise & understand things better, it also gets you empathizing from then on. You relate & react better when likely times arise.

A humanising experience altogether.

The worst part of experience is, that not all experiences are necessary for growing up.
Those useless experiences negate the growth rather than making us positive.

Do you agree?

God S M S

God,
When I really am annoyed with you & don’t believe that you are really doing any work up there, there come up messages like these… & not in my mailbox…right into my extremely limited phone inbox; sms'es at the most aptest of times, when I’ve really needed them. Like you are sending a Save My Soul message just for me.

Makes me bite my tongue & grudgingly accept that you Indeed are doing things up there. [First, by playing, then trying to correct the wrong moves...!??! ..I know I am being sarcastic. Helps at times!! : ]

Coz though I don’t feel like trusting you…my heart forces me to acknowledge your care. [I mean I don't understand why you make us fall on sticky grounds & then pull us up?!?!]

Moving away from my heedless ramblings; these are the Save My Soul messages that poured in my inbox along with quite a few other Women's day messages. Hadn't realised it was Women's day till then.

I knew for sure that these were sent to me for a purpose. Three messages of one kind in one morning! Doesn't happen usually.

• "Do not count what you have lost, Just see what you have now...
  because past never comes back, but sometimes future gives back what you have lost."
• A prayer to start your day with, “God when I lose hope, help me to remember that your love is greater than my disappointment & your plans for my life are better than any of my dreams.”
• “May God give you what you deserve not what you desire, because your desires may be few, but you deserve a lot more.”

Though I still have no clue of what I was being made understand, [Coz sometimes deciphering the codes Does get difficult! ] So I will end here with one of my own prayer for now. It's actually another one of my favourite quotes.

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much."

[ I hope he reads & remembers this. ]

Finally Down

Know what it is to have a sword hanging on your head...for a long time & though you are not waiting for it to fall down, subconsciously aware it will... someday?
When it does fall down, you do not know whether to not cry at the pain because you knew it would someday....or to totally suppress the pain as it serves you right because YOU needed to be prepared for that escape...or just given to your feelings & Cry, just cry; to let the pain wash over the time?

Or just feel all of the above & realise that it is now finally down & then act wisely...remove it from wherever it hurt?
[Though how it is possible I have not the slightest clue.]

I do not know the answers to this, I wish, truly wish I did.
