Through my lens: Unspoken thoughts

Standing High, Up against all odds

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.  - Robert Frost ***************************************************************************** I am an angel, I'm a devil I am sometimes in between I'm as bad as it can get And good as it can be Sometimes I'm a million colours Sometimes I'm black and white I am all extremes Try to figure me out you never can There's so many things I am I'm someone filled with sel...

Since you are sitting in some hideous spot in some corner of the world, I have to let you know I take good care of me and my other half is doing all your jobs pretty effectively and responsibly in your absence. My other half is slowly becoming my better half and I feel very much comfortable with this bond we are developing. Its lovely to flourish such a deep connection with oneself. Other day someone asked, "Its Friday, ain't you going out? No plans?" How should I reply back? Should I tell you are too busy or should I disclose my actual plans? I take myself out for brunches, movie dates, luncheons, nature walks, festivals, events and even long drives. You may have to look for advance booking as now a days all my evenings are booked with other self who entertains my day dreams, aspirations, monologues, life plans, consolations, self cheering which uplifts my mind, body and soul. Song playing in background [Damn, I like me better when I am with you ..] Hey list...

I wonder how downfall of a product affects one’s lifestyle and the choice 2 minutes noodles had become part of every house, every kid inspired by those yumilicious advertisements pooping in every 2 minutes in commercial breaks. Mouth-watering as depicted, it had become easy to cook dish for every mom in hurry. Aren’t the kids missing it anymore? Where have they turned their face to? Yippie… Snoopies… Top Ramen… Brands are many. I see those advertisements which air now-a-days to address budding concerns- “We are Safe! We have techniques that produce safe noodles”. But do we really care? Do we really read the ingredient and safety clause on the packets we buy from market? Are we really banking upon the substitutes? I really wonder when I peep in my kitchen for 2 min snack options. Ms. Maggie, once upon a time was snacks queen at my home too. But Mr. Lead, the howling scoundrel damaged its market share to such an extent that we have abandon our queen to be crushed in Cements Fa...

Sometimes conversations with strangers leaves everlasting mark on your brain. Off lately I have been traveling to different parts of Delhi/NCR  in Auto and striking random conversations. Let me share some snippets with my readers ... Incident 1:  It was one of the day  before witnessing  State Assembly election and choosing our Chief Minister for Delhi. Me:  Pointing  to one auto walla  reading newspaper at the stand. Bhaiya, drop me to place XYZ... meter on kar lena. Autowalla1: (Bhaiya being busy in churning his thoughts and matching his ideologies with AAP - AAM Aadmi Party) Madam is baar to Arvind ji ko hi lana hai, bahut hua bhrastachaar.  Lagta hai  samay aa gaya hai , ab aam janta ki bhi  koi sunega. Me: Accha bhaiya, ye dhaarna kaise banayi aapne. AW1: Nai madam, hum mile hai unse... acchi soch wala ab koi aya hai rajneeti mein. Me: This man is really marking his impression among autowalla segment. I second his thoughts. Inciden...

Your Next Step In any undertaking, the first step is vitally important. Just as important, though, is the next step. It’s great and exciting to make a strong start. Yet what really makes a difference is continuing the effort after the initial excitement fades. Success is achieved not just by taking the first, impressive and exciting step. Success comes from taking the next step, and the next and the next, until the work is done. Today is your opportunity, with each thing you’ve started, to take the next step. Today is when success is built. The next step may not be as glamorous as the first step or the last. Yet it is precisely that next step that will take you from the hopeful beginning to the successful finish. Honor your commitment by taking the next step. The path to success is here and now, so keep on going and make that success yours. Shake up the happiness At every moment we must shake off the past like falling dust, that it may not soil the virgin path which, at every mo...
