Another reason..

It seems like just about after being knee deep in silver bells we have been plunged into the world of pink hearts.. Its amazing how much consumer confidence is placed in the sanctity of each festival and occasion! To be honest, I am not exactly a big proponent of VDay but I can’t deny the occasional excitement I feel about this day for other people at least, having helped many a friends' boyfriends come up with something.. But that’s cause its fun to plan and give ideas and see things materializing.. and who doesn’t like playing cupid!

I was just thinking about this and was trying to understand the occasional cynicism that one encounters at the mention of Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day.. I guess the commercialization of these is something that makes the concept a little less.. well.. sacred..

I can see the basis of the cynicism but then when I take a step back and think.. there is a certain idea behind these days.. I realize that everyday should truly be a celebration of motherhood and friendship and love.. Its not like one can be a bad friend 364 days out of a year but just wishing a friend on friendship day makes up for it.. no absolutely not.. but.. I feel sometimes we get so caught up in daily life and the mundane problems of everyday.. the hassles and the worries.. that we fail to appreciate what we have and just sort of take it for granted.. I think that’s the purpose that these assigned days achieve.. the reason to sort of take a step back and be like.. “Mom – Happy Mothers Day.. I know I don’t tell you all year round but you’re the best”

I think if it makes someone day just a little bit more special.. and brings one more smile to this world.. Its worth it.. right?!

Tumko dekha to..

I can only say.. I wish I had written this..

Tum ko dekhaa, to yeh khayaal aayaa
Zindagee dhoop tum ghana saayaa

Aaj fir dil ne, ek tamanna kee
Aai fir dil ne, ek tamanna kee..

Aaj fir dil ko, hum ne samjhaya

Tum chale jaaoge, to sochenge
Tum chale jaaoge, to sochinge

Hum ne kya khoyaa, hum ne kya paayaa..

Hum jise gunguna nahi sakte
Hum jise gunguna nahi sakte

Waqt ne aisa geet kyon gaaya

Tumko dekha to yeh khayal aaya..
Zindagi dhoop tum ghana ssaya..

DMW

New Years Resolution - Drink More Water!

Websites say that almost 80% of the world walks around dehydrated.. OMG! Not Good... It hit me that I'm probably part of that 80% ... We drink excessive amounts of coffee, tea and sodas – all caffeinated drinks that dehydrate us

Studies say that 8 glasses of water a day:

Improves energy

Increases mental and physical stamina

Removes toxins & waste from the body

Keep skin healthy and glowing

Helps lose weight

Reduce headaches and dizziness

Aids digestion

I guess the list could go on and on..

So yup thats the NYR - DMW!

Happy New Year!

May this new year bring you success
To every good thing may God give you access

May this new year bring you luck
Hope happiness finds its way to you in a big fat truck!

May this new year bring you happiness
Wishing you lots of light and no darkness

May this new year bring you lots of faith
Leave sorrows behind and start this year with a clean slate

May this new year bring you joys of love
Hope God’s blessing rain on from above!

.. I guess this looks like a 4th grade kid wrote it.. but you get the point right.. ?

Happy New Year!!!!!!!
