Ladakh from Nomadic eyes !!!!

In the mystic mountains of Ladakh,
I hear the whispers of peace & tranquility,
Awe in the glory of Mother Nature ,
I and my nomadic heart admires the stillness and beauty.

Thousand years of History and mysticism,
Glorifies its pride ,
Mighty Indus River infuses spirits of hopes and excitement ..

A land where heroism galores the borders,
I salute the chivalry of these unsung heroes,
Where the compassion and love heals the wounded emotionless hearts,
I want to stay more ,
Crave to explore the unexplored.

High altitudes and frigid winds,
Makes me shiver and bring goose bumps,
But nothing deters me away ,
I crave to know little more ,
Truly , Ladakh is an inspiration,
A vision of infinite dreams,
The holy land of Lamas,
The euphoria for high adventurers ,
The paradise of Earth.

As I make way back , my nomadic heart bows in gratitude ,
To the mighty ranges of Karakoram and Himalayas,
And I make this everlasting wish to the enigmatic power,
Give me your strength and wisdom ,
Take away my fears and doubts ,
Let me embrace you more
Let me protect you for our future !!!

Escape from Struggle or Success of Survival

It’s a long time since I had pen down my thoughts and today, early morning when I was on my way to my workplace, there was an impulse deep desire to express it…and rejuvenate again with the spirit of passion that I had lost somewhere with my new schedules.

Many things have changed around me in these past months. Professionally, I am into a new role of mentor to 120 mentees and my each day is spent in training them with new basics about corporate jargon. Back home, I spent now more time in bonding with family and relatives. The journey from past to present seems to be going slowly but steadily and there is lot of contentment within me as I am able to add a new meaning to my life each day.

Through this post, I would like to give you some glimpses from the new chapters that have got added on my LIFE Journey and also some of the dilemmas that need to get an answer …..

As the morning bell strikes 6 AM, the struggle of juggling begins. Like a soldier on the border, I am on my toes to catch the college bus. With God’s speed, I make my pace fast to the bus stop and on the way smell the scented air of fresh flowers and green grass. In flick of seconds, the bus arrives and there I am boarded on BHAGYARATHI to flow along with the running world………yes, every bus of our campus is devotedly named after the holy rivers of India…..

Sitting in the faculty bus …..is itself not less than an adventure… ….The silence inside is so deep that you can actually do some meditation…….Some eyes can be seen texting SMS ……some can be seen with ear plugs ………some taking the nap of morning……..but still the silence doesn’t break………

Even though we all belong to multi-diversity… young vs. old, fresher vs. experience, a mixed breed can be seen …still, one single identity binds us together…and keeps this diversity united…

It’s so strange that even though I travel same route every day with the same passengers…….still my seat partner is different every morning…….and the same journey unfolds a different story everyday…….

As the 8 hrs of struggle ends……the happiness of survival can be felt inside the silent souls……With eager eyes, we all wait for the bus outside the campus…….Suddenly, the scene changes……the roars of laughs can be heard from all the corners……the strangers of morning now seem so familiar in the evening light…..I find myself in between the known faces…….the gossips begins and every person can be seen in the full participatory mode……and I wonder what is the magic behind……..

What has changed……the time is same…….the strangers are same……..the bus route is same…….only it is not morning but evening………and still the world seems different……Is it the escape from the struggle that has relaxed us or is it the success of survival that has broken the silence…….

I just keep on thinking……

The SECRET Puzzle

There is one hope that makes me smile everyday......there is one thought that gives the power to believe in myself.......there is one secret that makes me wonder how many million years before it was established.......

Today, I am sharing this secret to you which was embraced by our civilizations long back and which is being practiced still today in one or the different form.......the ultimate phenomena of achieving whatever one desires........

But every secret has its story and history makes us understand how much it was worthful to be passed onto each generation.....and till today is one of the fundamental foundation of the world of positivity.......

The LAW OF ATTRACTION : This is one ultimate ans to whatever is happening with us around ......and today I am dedicating this post to that puzzle that is riggling our minds everytime.......everytime success knocks our door.......everytime hope enlighten our souls.....and everytime when cloud of suspicion turns everthing dark.......why it all happens.....

The only ans is LAW Of Attraction......................

Why Chak De Team defeated the winnig Australian Team in Finals.....Why Sharukh of Om Shanti Om got his loving osul back in next birth..............why the intutions and sixth sense works so much..............what does yoga and meditation meant for........what is this healing touch all about......

This law has an ans to every question..............

" Everyday 60,000 thoughts cross or minds.....And when we really think passionately about one thought...........good or bad...........then this thought conspres the universe around...........and then the series of events that follow are the result of that very thought............"

Just think, this single statement is so powerful that it can make naything happen...........then why not every person is millionaire...............then why not every soul is happy..........

It is because our sub conscious state is always preoccupied with no of other thoughts....and the word " failure or loss" in every term is creating phathoms of imagination thereby obstructing our concentration to this basic thought...........

Each time we loose this power of concentration , thousands of thoughts pre occupy our heart and soul and whichever string of thought is tight............the same feeling of positvity or negativity builds around.........

So why, the holy saints have an aura around............why we like talking positive people.............why smile brings smile to us.........and why every day one fragnance lightens our mind and we go happy merry...........

This is what it is..........this law attracts your positivity with positivity around you and this law attracts attracts your negativity with negativity around you.......If you happy..the happiness will attract you..........and vice versa....

So my dear friends, from today make a happy resoluation every morning..........and just see yourself.............how this secret makes your puzzle of life unfolds in beautiful way.........

Unity in Diversity

" This entire universe is culmination of this very important foundation principle that diverse species survive with a basic aim to survive together harmoniously and create a place of survival for others."

Well, some anonymous must have given this piece of thought and with due respect I am here not to bore you with this psychological scientific fundas but to bring forth my new post : Unity in Diversity with a new dimension.

For every person in this world, his/her family is the best family in the world. I am also not an exception. " My mom is the best cook in the world,My dad is the greatest of all and who cares for this world. IF I have you , mom and dad, I have this entire world." Whatever be the differences, there is always pride to stand together as One Family.

And so, today I want to introduce you this beautiful family of mine where every face is diverse and unique and where one bond of " LOVE" unites and binds this diversified personnas together. And every family has their own story......Sometimes bitter..sometimes salty....and sometimes sweet.......but still it smiles together...

In the dried summers of late nineties, a small baby opened her eyes and wondered why so many big eyes are looking at her..The first breathe of this young baby brought the tears on everybody face ....and there was celebration everywhere.....And there was little bubly small girl looking from glass to that new family member in her blue laced frock......So, there she was, my younger sister , Arushi....I waited for 9 months ......yeppieeee.....and that young chubby girl was clapping hands with joy and jumping upside down......

" And whose copy is this, Aditi Bafna. Who is she? What you did, Sab ulta pulta....all verbs changed....everything wrong.....get it signed tommorow from your parents........" Some haunting eyes were punishing me and everyone in class was wispering .....SOme big pearl sized tears were rolling on my chubby cheeks and mummy kee daat was making me look pathetic.....I stepped down from tempo and my bag was swinging in different angles.....And I went slowly to bed and the entire hullah of tears were there......The Big Zero and red color crosses was pumping my heart......And as soon as mummy opened my copy.......I instantly closed my eyes.........Dear God, save me......and here, came a big laughter.....my mom was laughing on me.......and I was crying with full speed....Mummy brought thanda panni and I got a big smile back.......Class IV is still memorable.

The clock striked 12 at midnight and the cool breeze touched my face. My eyes opened at 6 am sharp and the first thing I did was to run downstairs....MY all family members were awake and my face was shining like anything.....I took the blessings from everybody ....And My dada ji handed over a card to me......The pink envelop had this bold letters on it : " Happy Birthday." I opened it and there it was : Dear Grandaughter, Happy Birthday. No wish seems bigger than
this feeling......A 500 Rs note was sparkling but what matter me most was this tradition of my family every year to give Birthday card to the Birthday person and this kept me always full of respect for this love and gratiude.

My mood is very bad....And nothing is going fine.....And I am in destructive mood.....And there comes a spiritual words from backside......neha,chal tujhee thoda ghumaakar lataaa hoo......And there I spring on my toes....Papa puts his seat belts and ensure mine is also thr....and Starts mummuring some old classics......and get set go.......here we go......I am all fine now.......

" Khanaa banananee see hii too aaeyga....har koi sekh jaata hai....tu bhi sekh jaeygi.....koi mushkil thodee hai....." If anybody can beat these soothing words of Dadi ma and her receipes ....then it is only God......An amazing person...

Well, every story has its side effects.....and what I want it to happen on you all is to understand that if anything today that can accept us in all our failures and embrace with that same love is nothing else but " Our Family". I know lot of undefined forces try to disharmonise the balance of unity of family everytime....But what keeps it sailing always is the unconditional foce of love .....So, dont forget to return back this unconditonal love back in their old days....Never go away far from this ......embrace it with patience and gratiude......and what you will get in return is " Unity in Diversity."

LIFE @ IBS.com ( Part -2)

Feb 8, 2009
Time : 6:30 pm

The weather was fine....sky was clear and me and raman were waiting on platform.....in a while shikha, ekta, manish will come.....my eyes were silent....anuraj and me were going in same train......borivalli station was overloaded with crowd......locals were coming and leaving stations.......everything was packed....My mba last exam was completed......today I was leaving mumbai.........leaving for undestined time......


Ae Dil, hai mushkil jeena yahaa........zaraa hatke, zara bachkee, yeh hai mumbai meri jaan....!!!!
This was the first time in my life I was so attached to this place......and leaving everything behind was something that was pinching me hard.......no more I owe this place anymore......

Ganpati bappa maurya........bapaaa mauryaa re.....mauryaa re.......!!!....aglaa station jogeshwari.........bombay pav bhajii.......juhu ki chopatti.....gateway of india.......famous vada pav......jai maharashtra...!!!!!!! These were the sounds that echoed in my heart and mind day and night..

My two years in IBS were just not constrained in the campus life but it gave me an opportunity to understand closely this new city....a sleepless city.....to adjust and learn the different vairites of mankind.....to love my sweet 1 BHK home......to stay awake for friends in hospitals.....to gossip in canteens....to share joys and sorrows together.........and to hav such extended new family of grt friends....

Meanshile, Vikas, Pushkar,Ekta and BABA Group had became my new friends in my journey and together with our evergreen Greenfiled Society, we all had celebrated the navratree....Along with this, class trips, college fest and everything was making life so simple...

My first cheque from Zycus of Rs 4300 brought such big smile on that day and there was a feeling of pride as I had went to deposit my first salary in my account.....I will be earning soon....my heart had said .....i will buy soon my first gift to family...I still remember it...

Soon our campus changed to one of the best areas of Mumbai - Hirandani....and I left no reason to tell everybody at home how beautiful the area was.....But the memories of Nirlon never faded......

With HR as specialization, I stepped in this new professional arena of management with a a purpose to breathe with.....And somwhere I knew my fortune is beginning to change.......destiny is something that is sure to come to me but unpredicable about its when part.....

My circle was now surrounded with new faces.....mostly females......and somewhere it was strange to be sitting all together and gossiping in our own world in canteen......and all eyes fixed on us.....as there comes the devil laughter...

Placement season was knocking and every day our hearts were praying for that golden moment to come.......The initial days were complex....I was sailing in undefined direction.......each time I arrive to my shore.....a wave used to drift me off to new destination.......But i was still hoepful, I was still optimistic........

Every thing happens for your good....I read it in my school days......but then, there was a reason for me to smile..... I met many new friends ......everybody unique in their style.....vikalp,rajat, srabani, anshul, rajesh.........

Well, life doesnt stops for anybody and everything happens not the way we think......My all friends have now moved to their journey....It was my destiny to meet them for some part of my way and cherish these memories life long.......I am sure soon everything wil change.....my destiny will shine .....and I am curious to know what comes next on way,....Who is that next person who shall be my passenger on this road of my Journey...

But, I shall never forget...LIFE @ IBS.com will never erase and shall be there ever after with me all my life.....!!!!!!

LIFE @ IBS.com

Hello everybody,

I am back with another blockbuster blog of mine on which i spent almost 3 days to decide on the topic and here I am with something close to my heart ......

LIFE @ IBS.com

Before I start of with this mega movie of flashback of 2 yrs, I would like to dedicate this to all my grt friends, IBS faculty and a very sweet person who inspired me to come up with this fantastic idea - my sister.

The entire thing was planned as I stepped in this new world of management mantras from my techincal life cycle of 4 yrs. I never wondered what was the driving force that took on me and I finaly landed with the welcome letter of MUMBAI centre and here my life took a new road of journey.

With all things packed, lovely farewell from family, I was determined to step in this mysteryful city......A city that never sleeps. The roar of local trains , the populated platforms and the determination of staying alive everyday in this struggling city was something that had enlightened my soul was pumping me the confience to take my next steps forward and here I was with my new flatmates ( Prachi, Aditi, Tania)to share these 2 grt years unaware of how the swings of time will bring me close to this new family.

My entire existence was shaken with the new fact that I have to now stay in this new world all alone and make my new identity and survive with this new technology advancement of mobile and make way to my dreams.

The new class, the new friends, the new society friends, the new faculty and the strange subjects of finance and accounts.....I was very much sure for first few days that I am in alien world and there Prof Mr Godse just on his top voice and strange life mantras feeding our heads and souls with acoounting and life fundas.......Balance sheet was looking me unfamiliar and I was missing the edge......Some lectures were great in sense they make me confident to show my intelligence and I enjoyed it and some used to question my existence.

Well, the story was also much beyound these classrooms and I had many exciting adventures with the spirit of liberation in this new city. Some great friends who were there at every time of ups and downs of presentations, at every turn of life, who made this life looks beautiful and simple...Prachi, Himashree, Manish, Charanjeet, Vikram, Avinash....The Maveriscks of IBS - Sec G .....

Today, I can say the list of friend list is much more extended and many close friends are there but some special people who sticked with me even till today: Prachi,Shikha, Raman, Anuraj, Bharat from my old section.

But anyways this story has to move on so I can include other names who were also not so far and were destined to meet me on this journey and give me those precious memories and the Ultimate Gift of " Friendship".

Now every story has some khatte metthe moments that add flavor and even my flashback was touched by them:

* I got out of my first presentation fear in 1 sem in my soft skills class and with loads of appreciation from class.

* I did my first daring Ramp walking in stage show of MAFIA - Konflux Fest.

* I dared to go on BANANA Ride when I fear from water, Goa Trip.

* I did my first cooking of Pulav with Tania all alone and ended up making khichdi of it.

* I got first time my curls into Straight Hair.


And I got first time to realize how important I can be for somebody ..........

My thoughts on LIFE...!!!!!

Hello everyone,

To start with , I would like to put my thoughts about what I have felt about this strange , mystique word of LIFE .....Hope , to see your valuable comments on my first blog.........!!!!!!!

Sunny days of summer,
Chilly days of winter,
Blossom flowers of spring,
And dried leaves of autumn.

These are 4 seasons,
And the reasons,
Telling you what Life is all about,
Taking away all your doubts.

Life is a vicious circle,
Of Ups and Downs,
Its the way you think,
Its the way you feel about.

It has all shades of rainbow,
It has classic touch of Black and White,
Nothing is all wrong and everything is not right,
Decisions are made and judgments are crossed
You feel like WINNER today, and tomorrow you might be at loss.

Life is all about the theory of game,
You work hard and luck brings you fame,
If your conscience is right,
And truth is for what you fight,
Today, you will earn your HONOR
and tomorrow this world will be all yours.!!!
