On Saint Valentine's Day




Do lovers need to express their love on any one particular day?? Why did Pope Gelasius I established this day? To honor several Christian martyrs?? Or for us to follow it blindly till date?? Well do we really believe in this concept? Or we take it as another day to indulge in extravagance? Ah... well what did you buy this time to impress your beloved?

 Did you check with the price tag? How much does a Red rose costs today... where would it be cheap? How much for a kg of rose petals? Rs 200  at one place and Rs 40 somewhere else.. Ah, really? Why can't same love be expressed with same  monetary amount. Does the intensity differ if u gift a diamond necklace or just a bouquet or only e- greeting card? Btw how many sms(es) floats on this particular day? Good revenue generation for telecom department and various service providers.. Ultimately somewhere down the line you need money to express your feelings. So is it the trade off between money and love?

To My valentine
With you I would Dine,
If you gift diamond with shine,
Else many are waiting in the line .



Well taken, when one goes another comes... Line lagi Hui hai...Love is the same, just recipient changes.. lol


P.S: When love is immortal, celebrate everyday.. You are never too old, never too young to celebrate it every moment. Love you near and dear ones as long as you exist. A simple passionate hug works too ;)

Adding few lines by my dear friend (Gaurav Nagesh), he expressed everything I wanted to scribble

Valentine ke din university campus hote hue jana,
Traffic signals pe heart shaped balloons ka lehrana,
Sadakon par haath thaame navyuvakon ka mandrana,
Unka police ko dekh, dur ho jana aur aankhein churana...

Red roses aur foolon wale bhaiya k achanak bhaav badh jana,
Aaj sabka cute dress with a red touch pehen ke college aana,
Aur kaiyon ka bewajah hi kisi ummeed mein taiyaar hojana... #yeah :)
Campus mein bade groups ka chhote chhote pairs mein badaljana,
Bichare long distance walon ka pure din phone pakade nazar aana
Haare hue singles ka valentine's day ke upar hi sawal uthhana...  #eee...Did I ?

Achanak se saale alsaaye mausam ka shayerana ho jana,
Phir yeh sab dekh humne apne dil ko samjhana...
"Har din ki tarah aaj bhi koi rang dikha raha hai zamana"

Dedicated to my Work Anniversary (13th Feb)

To my lovely readers,  I wanna stop by at your screen on eve of Galentine's day. Let me keep it short, hope you like my KISS ( k eeping I t S hort and S weet). Here I am, sharing TLDR version of my last year experience on first work anniversary at new work place.  Started with new hopes, never looked back, learnt a lot, met brilliant minds,  understood how good company culture can grow your personality and keeps you on toes.  A company which values DEI principles at high scale, gave me template to introduce myself which asked my pronoun. While I planned to jot down my thoughts,  I came across a comedian which emphasized every Indian parent will want their daughter to be 'SHE' and son to be 'HE', never dare to think beyond that. This company is one where I came across 'They' pronoun :) This company enriched my vocab with corporate lingo. For lack of vocab or more of knowledge, at times, I like to open can of worms, unpacking the details, to enhance my story t...

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will. when the road you're trudging, seems all up hill. When funds are low, and debts are high, and u want to smile, but u have to sigh. when care is pressing, you down a bit, rest if u must.... but don't u quit. Life is strange, with its twists and turns, as everyone of us, sometimes learns. And many a failure, turns about, when he might have won, had he stuck it out. Don't give up, though the pace seems low, you may succeed, with another blow. p.s: visit http://www.thedontquitpoem.com/
