Praise To Raise Your Energy

Do you believe when people praise you, admire you or appreciate you is actually boost up the positive energy in you which was suppressed by negative thoughts.

Sometimes  my mind filled up with many thoughts most are negative, "what the hell I'm doing in this world" like thoughts dodge in my upper part of the head. I don't feel like to talk to anybody, don't feel like to do work..simply lying down on the bed and struggling with the bad thoughts.All of a sudden, a phone call comes, with a empty urge I picked it up and found my sweetheart hubby's voice at the other end,"What happen dear why are you so upset, you shouldn't be like this, you are my happiness, you have changed my world,I know this is difficult for both of us to live apart, but we have to do this...this is just a passing phase baby...come on cheer up...you know how brave you are, I have been telling others that see my wife is just the best, she never complaints about anything, she deals with the situation well. So please cheer up now".

These words entered in to blood circulating system and started circulating along with the blood....it works like a magic and I'm rejuvenated and filled with a positive energy all over again. 

So sometimes we need such booster doses of positive energy, no matter from where, it can be from your loved ones, any music which touches your soul, old pictures, spiritual attachments etc. This is what I learned today. 

Gadgets for Time-pass actually killing my quality of Time-pass

Last month there was a contest of writing a blog on a topic like ‘write about how internet is fun on your phone’, at first I wanted to express my view on it, but when I sat to write, I literally didn’t get anything out from my brain over this topic...because the reason was simple, I can’t find any fun while accessing net via a phone…I never excited about it…for me it’s just a medium to approach what I may be missing while m away from my social networks.

Few weeks ago we got a new tab for my mother, I was exploring it and making it easier for the use of mother. While doing the setting on android os for hours….oh! My God my brain got drained completely. First of all m not a technical person but after spending years on computer…I got the skill pretty good, But sometime I really get frustrated while doing the stuff. When I got comfy with Windows, now this android thing came in my way. Though it is easy to operate, but still very confusing for me….I thought Android is for time-pass, but actually it’s killing my quality of time (but I like angry birds…no doubt) and that too on tablet…it’s really frustrating touching that 7’ inch screen repeatedly by your finger. So for me tab is defiantly not a happening gadget , I thought of buying it earlier for me but now…it’s a big No No! I’m happy with my laptop/desktop with windows os.

Now days you go anywhere, you can see 90% of the people stick to their phone doing blah blah things. I hate this, this digital world is not for me…I love nature and real things. But unfortunately we all are depended on this very digital world. What to do L. Why not…we can do…. we can try to stay away from this digital world for a while, give it a day, hours and explore the real world around you. Simple J

PS: Those who are seeking reviews on Micromax Funbook…..so people it’s a good deal with 7’ inch LCD…have a nice time-pass.

Congratulation to this blog on completing 5000.......views

I'm celebrating 5000 views of my blog today............thanks to all the readers for visiting my blog....though sometimes I also visited my own blog

Little bundle of Happiness

The Life itself holds the fact of happy living.....I believe...happiness is such a little bundle...whenever you seek for it you can find it under your bed, inside your table drawer, your collector box etc etc etc. If you really wanna look for it, you definitely will find it.

One week ago, I came to my parental home, 

back to my childhood, my own room, 

my belongings, my parents, my pets, 

every corner of the house welcomed me...

life is so beautiful here. I opened my dressing table drawer 

and I found my little bundle of happiness in there, 

my bed side drawer still keeps my dairy, 

old books and all those things which I left secretly. 

My wardrobe still filled with a rack of my old clothes

It's door still hanged my old bags

It feels like amazing n nostalgic

a beautiful feeling which I can't express properly.

I love being here, back in my cove, back in my old memories.  

Roadiezzzzzz

Yesterday me & my husband saw MTV Roadies-1 episodes on youtube. MTV Roadies, the first reality show which grabs millions of youngster's attention in India, which was started in 2003 and still on. Well the purpose of writing this post is simple, as I haven't watched the very 1st season of it earlier, knew that Ranvijay who is current host of the show was the winner of season -1, so it germinate curiosity in me to see how was the very 1st Roadies season.

Well there is a vast difference in season-1 roadies and Today's roadies seasons.

That time auditions were simple, nothing hype in it.
It was started with only 7 contestant
All the contestant were made to live in OK types hotels/ resorts.
They have to manage their own budget
The full Roadies journey was covered on bikes only, now days bikes can be seen only at the time of vote-out.
and and and, the funniest part was, Raghu the producer was more skinny than today's Raghu.

Here are some videos of it:

Just musing

Yesterday I read two very nice article in TOI (The Times of India) sunday supplement.The first article I read about Women's awakening towards themselves....The article title's goes like this " MID LIFE AWAKENING FOR WOMEN" These days women who spend their bee-age in serving family, kids, husband, managing all household things.....now they want themselves a career, a job which can truly define them, a woman who asked her husband a job for her 40th Birthday gift.Well I like this article very much..it touches me deeply, though m really not in my mid-age..lol but this thing really does matter for me as a homemaker.And here are some lines I took from the article itself..."As natural creators and lifelong multi-taskers,women are better equipped to deal with reinventing their life" The  word RE-INVENTING feels like totally new of yourself. Well I thank Vinita Dawra Nangia for this alarming article.

Second article I read about the increasing popularity of Indian food blogs these days...well I recently started my food blog so this particular article came like an inspirational to me...to get going.The article title goes like this,"INDIA'S SAUCY FOODIES". People all over from India making everyone's mouth watering by their only-see-don't-taste food blogs....this is really interesting and adventurous....again I thank Ismat Tahseen for this article.  

Tiny green Mangoes -2

Go back Mr. Spy

I woke up in the midnight to attend the nature's call, came out of my room and entered in to my kitchen which is also a way to the loo I know this is kind of weird but currently we are living in a rented house so things are like this.After entering in to the kitchen I switch on the light and check around in order to move forward, suddenly I spotted him again, he was just in front of me, staring at me..."No!! you not again,What's your problem man why are you always in my kitchen at this time...what you want" I asked him. He responded by a long jump straight over to my gas stove. "Ewwweeu! don't sit there, that's where I cook food and you dirty fellow sitting there like it's your garden", I shouted

He was sitting there and staring at me, ready to respond again with the jump if I step forward anymore. "No I can't take this right now, it's 3 a.m and I'm half awake and my bladder is about to burst please go away", I said. With no choice in hand I quickly went in to the room and woke up my husband. I told him about the situation waiting in the kitchen like every night. He damn it. Half awaken, holding a broom in one hand he went in to the kitchen and saw that brat on the gas stove. He forced him to jump away, oh! my gosh he jump so high like Tarzan and stick to the wall, then he slipped behind the containers, "Quickly all container out", said husby. hiding in the corner, husby swept him out towards the backyard door, and in second swept he was out of the house.

This happen every other day.There is a little frog, looks like a water inhabitant with a lustrous skin,comes in to my kitchen every evening.Once it slipped in smartly and hide in between the glass crockery, my husband took a charge to show him the way out, next day I washed each and every item where it was hidden(it was necessary to mention this statement here in case if any of my friend drop by my place so don't worry about those glass crockery, they r clean! )That lil frogy always wants to come in and jump around I don't know for what reason but it seems like it is keeping an eye on us, that's why we name it Mr.SPY!

Mr. spy looks like some what this frog

Mango season coming soon!!!

One extra day!

When  I woke in the morning, I realize that today is 29th of feb, a rare day, which comes after every four years....and in a minute I decided, Lets make it special. I have already made my mind to write a blog so that this date can be listed in my blog archive. This kind of opportunity can answer well the question like "What I will do if I'll get one extra day in a month?????".....So answer your  question like I did


Early in the morning I woke up and went to my backyard, which is kind of a shelter for five little pups and some adult dogs too...After seeing me they quickly turn in to happy playful mood which can't be avoidable. So I quickly brought my cell-phone to capture that moment and made this video which is worth watching.....These little cuties have made my day!

My day starts with a perfect joy, pleasure, excitement...and I enjoyed it thoroughly...active throughout the day....this is how I spent this extra day of mine :)

Though I'm bit late to post it here, but its fine I have done it after-all.

Past six months in Kharagpur : My story

1. The first week was a heartburn due to complete demotion in the standard of living of the city, after passing splendid year in Delhi it was a shock!
2. The food is one degree down the taste and quality (Dhabas on highway in north India are more tastier).
3. Most of the serving in one n only ccd (cafe coffee day) in IIT are made from milk powder...which taste almost like some medicated syrup. 
4. Shops here open at 10 in the morning and closed by 12 noon, re-opens at 5 in the evening and closed by 8 pm...still you can't track which shop open at what time and day.
5. IIT students fly over the roads on cycle all around the campus.
6. If you wish for the rain then you only have rain rain n rain.
7. Coconut water is the most nutritious thing happened to me here.
8. Made some new friends here but I still miss my Delhi buddies.
9. The only sweetest thing we(me n my hubby) have here is plenty of time for each other.
10. I'm moving towards the middle of Kharagpur chapter sometimes I like being here and sometimes I dream to be somewhere else.

Fortune plays with you.

Three days back one of my cousin lost her husband who was seriously ill for long, the news was tragic for me and everybody in our family. They were married for 13 cheerful years and sudden lost changed everything in my sister’s life. The husband is only the world in every married woman’s life after her parents n kids, with whom she share her emotions, and every aspect of life…I can only imagine how my cousin is feeling but she is facing it. By nature she is a strong lady but this loss is beyond all the goods. In every silence while sitting at the corner of my bed the guilt is killing me… I feel so sad about her, unable to do anything for her…at least I can be with her. I know things will change by time but it is always easier to say this….I love her and praying for her and kid.

When there is a reason to cry God gives us a reason to smile also, after two days one of my cousin was blessed with a baby boy, God bless him n his parents, he’s such a cute baby

One needs a strong will to take over the charge of his/her own destiny. The person’s belief can change the lifeless rock in to the God and after practicing this very belief for the years, n then  time comes to change the destiny…..my destiny is in my hand and I can take it the way I want to. There can be a good number of gains in self-directed destiny, which also increase the confidence level simultaneously. But few losses can give a sudden fall. Then the question crop up…  do I really directing my destiny? Time will change and things will come in order again. This cycle goes on n on. What we learn in the conclusion that gain and loss are the two faces of a coin, sometimes we can predict which face will turn up before the coin hits the ground and sometime we can’t. The number of time it comes in your favor its your good luck and if it is not, its your destiny. This is how we live life, though there are no reasons to live but still there are many. One moment can change everything in your life and that’s the power of destiny, your fortune which plays with you.

Let It Be In The Nachos Way!

Hey! pals.....yes think it in the Nachos way!!!!!

well I'm not going to tell you the recipe of Nachos here, instead I'm going to tell you how this recipe spiced up my life indeed.

Sometimes you don't know how surprisingly things confront you in your life and become your taste. Taste is what you look for every now and then in life but sometimes on the contrary taste might look for you too. I'm sure you might have listed all your unlike-d veges which you have been ignoring since childhood but on the account of infinite reasons you are eating them today.(If things are not like this for you then reconsider it...because nobody is perfect.)

So Refocusing on my Nachos love story here.......

It was the late December of 2008, when I was on kind of vacation. I went to my uncle's place in Noida, U.P. It was a usual day of having fun with cousins and family. we went for the movie "Rab ne bana di jodi" (ok now all Shahrukh lover plz do you mind!). As always I use to have popcorn n coke in the interval and that day was no different, besides this there was one more thing which used to happen every time whenever I went for the movie with my cousins.......

My cousin use to present me the service of this unfamiliar golden brown triangles with sort of dips n sauces, saying, "wanna try"(There's one thing about me which i don't like, I always say No when somebody offers me something...seriously I suffered great losses due to this nasty habit of mine.) This time I gave it try and grabbed a piece of nachos, dipped it into the sauce and show it a way straight to my mouth (for a change you can imagine this act in slow motion.)

And the moment of Eureka!......I have never tasted something like this.....I was so much in to the taste that to feel it once again, when I move my hand to grab one more piece of it...I realize that the generous offers are always limited.
"Nachos!!!!!!!!!!!"

Since then I'm in love with nachos.(Rab ne jodi bana di) and whenever I have gone for a movie I had nachos only.....My husband is also familiar to this taste of mine now and he always buys nachos for me, so what he goes for the combo pack and interested in other things beside nachos in that pack, but he always thinks about me first. I love him.

No matter how boring and unbearable the movie is...I just want the XL pack of nachos to chill me down. The one reason behind disliking Dhobi Ghat movie was zero intermission in the movie. I was waiting for the interval die-heartily only for the nachos. Now I always make sure this thing before going for the movie.

That day i felt it happens same in life too, our source of happiness set timely and we should always look for the right time to appear, but what we will do when that particular time is only escape from the row. We will wait for yet another series of time to come, after all its just a matter of time.

My penchant for Nachos(Happiness) is still on.

My genuine advice : At some hard phases of life, we should have the patience of a saint. That's what my two cents.

The Moment Of Getting Inspired

So here I go....

Whenever you get in to doozy feeling moment when yours eyes shed some happy-tears(or whatever tears), and you feel like something is being filled in you, which lighten up your body and you start flying(No no I'm not talking about Red bull here). your inner voice bellow,"Why I haven't thought in this way...I can do this too....Yes I can."

What you will call it?

The moment of inspiration.......

I don't know how many of you harmonized on this point of mine, but this feeling is very common to me. Since childhood I'm getting inspired by things, people, acts blah blah....The list is so long.

At first I was inspired to became a "Heart surgeon",then a "Microbiologist", then a "Scientist"(On the take of biology course what else you can think to be aspirant off.)..

Oops! I missed out "The Wildlife ranger" how can i forget this one, after the declaration (without knowing the fact that it doesn't happens in India), everyone had poked a fun at me(Thanks to National Geographic channel).

After the decay when I developed a interest in novel reading...I wannabe "the Writer"(Which is still on) then...Actress/Miss World....hey every girl have dreamt to be a actress or Miss world, until she realize her facts and it just becomes a pipe dream.

It's not a long past when I genuinely got inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia".... I can reminisce it very well. Once my husband told me about the movie and tagged it as 'must watch'....then what, I followed it, became fan and i loved it...Two women, one became the inspiration and one got inspired. Such a beautiful movie which not only tells the story of two remarkable women but harbuors a lot of values in it.

Life gives you many rendezvous with some people, act or thing which may directly or indirectly effects you. But point to ponder here is whether inspiration choose you or you choose the inspiration, though the result of both might not be the same, it really effects your life. So inspire someone with something or get inspired.


Genuine advice: whenever you get inspired with someone don't let him/her knows it...coz the beauty of the moment lies in the silence only this's what my two cents.

What's with Indian Ghosts!!!

Heard of fairytales…ok, heard of Panchtantra stories…ok, heard of Ghost stories….alright! And what about Indian ghost stories? You might be thinking what wonder push me to put this discrimination of Ghost here. What’s with Indian Ghost! Well they got matchless style…particularly a female ghost. Every woman in India love to wear anklets and this zeal remains after the death also. They give us the feel of their presence in such a melodic way.  All over the haunted places in India, most of them are preoccupied by female ghosts and native people are very sure about their existence as they hear the sound of anklet while they walk down the place.

Anklet sound!…sounds really interesting. This sound arose the level of curiosity in Ghost interested people that they intentionally go for a night stay. With all that skeptic heart they pull themselves from the fear and bravely try to spend whole night in such places to have an experience of that anklet’s jingling. They might hear the jingling or may encounter the reason behind those jingling. Everything is strange but I’m not. Yes I have no courage to put myself knowingly in such situations…I have got many anklets and I love their jingling, I’m satisfied and not interested in how other’s anklet sounds and how old their design is.

Two month ago I have shifted to a small city of West Bengal. This is surrounded by all kind of greeneries and lots of water (it rains heavily here) and my sweet little house also surrounded by such greenery. I find empty snail’s shell every other day in my backyard. Sometimes yellow colored printed small snakes come to swim in the backyard water well. Night and the rainy season give you the piece of music by frogs (well I came from the metro city so these things bother Me.) you can find almost all kind of musical insects here. One evening I was cooking in the kitchen and I herd some digital sound. The sound was very much similar to the sound comes from our cell phone keypad.  It was insect's sound so I named it as the digital insect. I told my husband about my new discovery, he heard the sound and told me ya kind of digital but it is much similar to the anklet’s jingling. His words swirl my sound system and that digital sound appeared no more digital to me. Honestly! It changed to anklet jingling. Yes I was scared because I grew up hearing all those haunted stories of female ghost with their anklet jingling. Then my husband explained me the sound story….some insects produce such kind of sound…so relaxed it’s an insect sound only. Then I searched on net  about those insect and I found all the Cricket family bears such kind of sound and I also got one audio of insect’s sound effect so that you can also listen to it.Click here

Today also psychologically that digital sound is still the anklet‘s jingling to me. But whenever I hear it I say to my husband, “here she comes”. Now I know all the haunted places are also a habitat of such insects too. So people give it a second thought if you have encountered such sounds.

Happy Discovering! 

I was looking for you...
