This Independence Day free yourself from a fake relationship

In this era of pretentious living, we fake smile, laughter, words, feelings and even relationships too. All the relationships are based on some lies that we say to the other person and some lies that we say to ourselves. But most importantly, these days there is fakism in love relationships too. This thought is quiet disturbing for me, and I hope it is equally disturbing for everyone in long run.

There are many affairs that we see around in schools, colleges and offices. Everyone has one boyfriend/girlfriend. Still we see thousands of people registering on matrimonial sites for an arranged marriage. Do you know the reason why? Why affairs are not turning into a lifetime commitment? Why lovers spend years of time with each other but could not make it happen? Why love has a very short life span?

The fact is that there is no term called ‘LOVE’ that exists in these relationships. They are based on emotional, mental, physical, social or monetary needs and the biggest lie that both of them say to themselves and to each other i.e. ‘they love each other’. Love is about fighting for each other till the last breath. Love is about standing with each other in all the ups and downs. Love is about being passionate and focussed for one commitment. See the eternal love couples Heer-Ranjha, Romeo-Juliet, Soni-Mahiwal and you will realize what love is.

So it’s time to understand the true meaning of ‘Love’ and free yourself from the fake relationship. Think and analyze - can you do the same sacrifices that Romeo-Juliet has done for each other? Or do you see yourself at the position of Bhagat Singh who has sacrificed his life for his dulhan called ‘Azaadi’? If the answer is ‘yes’ then you are in a true love, and if the answer is ‘no’ rethink about your relationship. Say the truth to yourself and to the person you are in relationship with. Hope it will save you and them from the pain. If any one of you is serious it is important to stop this relationship at the right time and in the right manner.

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Father's Day

Dear Papa,

My friends do say that "my papa is a superhero...my papa is the strongest...I am the princess of my father" but I proudly reply to everyone that "my papa is not a superhero neither he is strongest and nor he treated me like a princess."

My father is just an ordinary man who has struggled all his life to give me extraordinary learnings. His experiences turned into my learnings which no school could ever taught. Thanks papa for sharing every detail of your life, I never listened it like a story but absorbed it like a lesson.

He is not the strongest man but he taught me how to convert my weaknesses into strengths and how accepting a weakness of others is an important aspect for the survival of any relationship. Thanks papa because of you whatever relationships I have, they are strong enough to withstand all the hardships of life.

Yes my father never treated me like a princess rather he showed me the real picture of life in which I was not the fortunate one to get everything I demand or desire. Thanks papa you made me capable of earning what I desire...you made me understand the true reason of my existence which is not just to live but to create my own identity. If you would have given me everything in hand I might never have explored myself and developed the potential to fight all odds. I might not look like a princess to the boys I meet but I am sure they will never get a better queen for them who has vision and skills to make the life king size."

In a way papa, I am nothing but your creation and I am proud to have the best creator in the world.


Love you for being YOU!

For you Salman ‘I kept Mum’

People from so called intellectual class gave statements, people who are confused about their own facebook status gave remarks and people who does not have opinion on anything expressed their views on the verdict...the verdict which made nation speak. People started discussion in offices, at public places and on whatsapp...lots of jokes were shared, much of criticism happened and media got all the masala for a week. And I kept MUM.

I kept mum when friends teased me for the love I have for you. I kept mum when public leg pulling happened. I kept mum on social media for few days when verdict was trending. I kept mum when people knowingly started criticizing you in front of me. I kept mum for really long...but now I want to speak up...I want to put my point in front of the whole world. I have my own logics to love you +Salman Khan and here I am putting them to invalidate any or all the verdicts that court could ever give –

· Salman Khan is not just a Hero, he is a Superstar and this stardom is not something that he has attained in a day. He has worked for it. There was a bad phase in his life when all the things went wrong just the way it happens with us ‘the common man’. Don’t tell me anything wrong never happened to you or you haven’t done anything wrong to anyone ever. Despite of all the wrong things, he has tried to move out of that phase and he succeeded in that. He has changed not only his behaviour but the way of life. Isn’t this the sign of a real hero? Swami Valmiki was a highway robber in his early life who used to kill people and then, rob them; but a sudden change in his personality made him write the epic ‘Ramayana’ and everyone started praising him. This is what happens. ‘To move on’ is the way of life and that’s what Salman did and I appreciate that he chose to move in a positive direction.

· Have you ever had alcohol? If your answer is ‘yes’, then tell me genuinely, how many of you have never drove after getting drunk? Every person who is a regular (or may be occasional) drunker has driven after having drinks and it is your luck that you have never met an accident. Isn’t it? In fact, there are thousands of accidents happening in the country every day but how many cases you have discussed or cared for? Answer is None! Then, why to make this accident a national issue. This is just an accident that could happen by anyone and that’s why I can’t stop loving my favourite star for this. What if some day your husband or father had to face the same situation? Will you leave them or start hating them for this?

· It is clearly stated that this case is ‘Hit and Run’ and ‘Unintentional’ do you understand the clear meaning of ‘gair iradatan hatya’. It means that he was not intending to kill. It is just an accident. Now, you will say that after hitting at least he should have stayed there to accept it. Tell me one thing, do you have guts to accept this if it happens with you? Nobody has. This is a spontaneous human nature to save oneself, so is there anything wrong in that? You don’t have guts to support a helpless girl being raped on a road with a fear of police case and you are expecting Salman Khan to stay back when case would be filed against himself and he would lose all his fame at the peak time of his career. Come on, be fair. I can’t be this unfair to the one I love.

· Last but not the least; we say law’s main purpose is to give justice to the victim. So tell me putting Salman Khan against bar would give justice to the family of deceased person or adoption of that family by Salman as his own would give justice to them? They have lost a life and they will be given with one. Or may be some decision which is in favour of that family and not just against Salman Khan. Punishment is given to kill the criminal inside and not the person and this delayed justice has already killed the old Salman in the new Salman Khan. He is no more the same person. He has been through that bad phase, learnt the lesson which life wanted to teach and grew as a better person who helps the poor and needy. I love this Salman Khan more than ever and will stand by his side because he is just a Human Being who has learnt to be Being Human.

I kept Mum for a long time because I wanted to know everyone’s opinion and how they change with time. Just a year back they were appreciating Salman Khan for ‘Kick’ and it has done business of over 150 crores and now they are criticizing him at every possible platform for the accident which happened a decade ago...

I love you Salman for whatever you are and my feelings won’t change with the verdict!

Pretentious Definition of Love by famous personalities

Today is Valentine’s Day, the day of ‘Love’ and all day I was thinking about the feeling of Love. What is Love...? Is it loyalty that we see in Romeo-Juliet’s relationship or passion that describes Radha-Krishna or devotion that has made Meera-Mohan inseparable?

I don’t know what it is...but while thinking about definition of love here I have some pretentious definitions. Read and share some more that comes in your mind -

How to make the ‘Love’ constructive?

‘Love’ is such a beautiful feeling and has so many different forms in different relationships but here I am talking about the girlfriend-boyfriend love.

If you are having an affair or you are looking for someone to fall in love with or you are hurt with the broken relationship or you are dumped by the person you loved selflessly, here are few tips to make your ‘love’ constructive for yourself –

· First thing, clear the notion that love is about others, it is firstly about oneself. If you love yourself, then only you can love the other person, as you cannot give something that you don’t have. If some day a very pretty girl/ handsome boy come to you and ask for a buffalo, will you be able to give..? No na...because you do not have one. Same is the case with love. So first love yourself and make yourself lovable for others. Be caring, gentle and loving to oneself.

· Second thing, loving surely means accepting the person with positives and negatives in all the manner but it doesn't mean that you should stop putting efforts towards improving the person. Mother also loves the child but she keeps yelling on mistakes and no repulsion can make her discontinue the process of improving her child. So should be the case in every love story. The process of improvement should never be paused or discontinued from both the sides and acceptance also means taking the advice positively, if the love is genuine.

· Third thing, love is the biggest motivation to live and lover should be the biggest motivator to inspire you in every sphere of life. Life is not just about loving; it is about growing, improving, fulfilling dreams and seeing oneself where you ever wished to. So lover should be the one who can make you excel in career, who can support you in ups & downs of life, who can make you better person in every relation you possess and who can make you responsible in all the roles you play. And trust me it is possible.

· Fourth thing, be creative in expressing your love. Love is the best inspiration for any artist and yes, there is hidden artist in every person (if you don’t know your talent, love is the guide to explore it). Make the best use of your talent in making your love impress and it will be helpful in improving your skills and quality of life side by side.

· Last but not the least, if you are hurt and have broken relationship or got dumped, be positive and take this as a challenge. It is important to understand that something went wrong from your side too. You might be lacking at expressing the love & care, giving time, spending money, gifting, motivating for improvement, choosing the right person, analyzing or understanding in various aspects, and it’s time to improve yourself in that area where you lack. This broken relation is not the end of life; it is the start of a new and better life with improved you.

Make the ‘LOVE’ constructive rather than being Majnu and leaving everything for love. Love exists where Life flourish and it fades where Life stagnates. Hope these ideas will be helpful in making the relationship better & practical and they will also guide in choosing the right person who can really be a Constructive Lover. The best couple creates two successful and good individuals.

NiAmos - My Birth Story

Hey!

Here I am sharing the most beautiful love story on earth that has given birth to me. Like other love stories it has hero, heroin, ups & downs, commitment and togetherness but not a happy ending. It has witnessed many phases and my birth is the new beginning…

Let me introduce you to the characters first –

Hero – Brands of the world (My Father – always trying to please)

Heroin – Customers (My Mother – always want more and more)
Me – IoTDevice (NiAmos – a loving kid)

Just the way you love to hear about your parents love story and share it proudly with everyone, I love it too…My father has loved my mother unconditionally all his life and his ultimate aim has always been to woo her and please her by all the possible means. In those initial days of their story, he was a bit shy to propose her directly and thus, took the help of written communication (newspapers and magazines). Don’t you think letters are so romantic…Still I wish to read them all again and again. Words do play magic and my mother couldn't escape from the charm. She fell in love with him and used to wait for his letters every morning eagerly but somehow this became a routine and no more a thrill…

Then, my father decided to find out more means. He observed her keenly when she was busy doing her various daily works and found that radio is her companion in every task she do. This has clicked the idea of broadcasting the message for her on radio. It was so beautiful and amazing. She was elated to hear that…No woman (customer) can resist gifts and surprises. They are natural stimulants. And my father has used them amazingly in making her move out in the chase of those special attractions. After all, gifts are part and parcel in every love story.

But soon the technology upgraded and television took over radio in her life. It became even more challenging for him to grab attention, convey message and play the magic to bring her in action. Television demands concentration of both the senses (i.e. eyes and ears). Though my father was not good at it but love makes man do anything and everything. Somehow with the help of experts he successfully captivated her and still doing it. In every 10 minutes he reminds her that ‘he is missing her’. Love is felt in silence too but still it is important to express and keep reminding and making each other feel special.

So now, came the turn of my mother to reveal the love and confess it in front of the world. With the emergence of social media, she got the right platform to admit. And without giving a second thought she bluntly expressed her love for my dad. Isn't it sweet! I love her a lot for being so loving and loyal. Finally this gesture of her took the relationship to the next level. They started spending more time together. They shared more likings and fun moments. They learned many lessons of life. But gradually, all this became monotonous.

Now was the time when my father realized that just surprising is not enough. She deserves to be treated like a queen and then, he thought of me. I am ‘NiAmos’, a promise of my parents to each other that ‘we will love’. I will give them happiness, I will keep them in touch, I will make them spend time together and moreover, I will make them think of each other more often than they used to.

I am the new chapter in their life, just the way you must be in your parents' life. Hope you will play your role perfectly!

Salute to Narendra Modi

Finally a day came when the leader of masses is going to be a Prime Minister...a day when people of country unitedly selected one person without giving any chance for alliance...a day when we all can really expect something good to happen in our country...a day when we can proudly say that a strong leader represents our country internationally, a day when we can expect to have strict security on our borders...a day when our nation got freedom from monarchy of Gandhi family...a day when we all can celebrate the joy of democracy!

Congratulations to all the citizens of India on this historical day!

This tattoo created by me is just an expression of my happiness...Hope 'achchhe din aane wale hain'.

One Creation a Day

The happiness you are seeking for,

the success you are praying for,

the love you are longing for,

is just one creation away from you…

I believe in it and thus, ‘one creation a day’ defines my ideology of life. A day without creation is a day, wasted. Having my inclination towards creativity is something that keeps me motivated towards my ideology. I don’t know how many of you agree to it but every ‘creation’ gives us a reason for ‘celebration’…be it a delicious dish prepared in kitchen or a piece of art created on canvas.  You don’t need to have extra ordinary skills to create. All you have to do is to explore your interest and thus, give meaning to your life.

Every ‘Creation’ is a complete package that gives me –

Confidence – Every time I create something, I see my imaginations taking shape, my talent getting cultivated and the hidden skills coming in light. It gives me confidence on myself. It’s a secret intimation conveyed by my heart to my mind that ‘yes I can do it’.

Skills – Skills cannot be judged without scrutinizing the competency. While creating new things I can smell my potential and efficacy at various tasks. Along with polishing my skills, it also helps me in developing new skills. In other words, Creation is representation of your skills.

Appreciation – The best part attached with every creation is that, it is neither good nor bad. Each individual has different perspective for things, and definitely there are people with like thinking who will admire the creation whole heartedly. So just believe in creating whatever your heart says and get ready to hear applauds!

Happiness – See your mother and you will understand how a creation can become the biggest happiness. She bears all the pain for nine months to create you. Similarly, every creation is your baby and whatever it brings be it appreciation or criticism, you will be proud to embrace it. It is the reason of happiness and self contentment. Adding taste of happiness in your life depends completely on you. You can crib for the things that you do not have or you can choose to create some, and be happy.

Experience – Creating new things is to touch the new horizons and explore oneself. It’s the process that makes you undergo unique experiences every time. The course may not be easy but it will be full of learning for sure.

Great people have ideology to lead their life and ordinary people have situations. Decide what your guiding light is, and give meaning to your life. I am enjoying the fruit of ‘creation’ with all my senses. You can also choose to create a piece of music, story, art, painting, delicious dish, or anything you like. Are you ready to create something magnificent and add beauty to the world?
