I am turning 25!

Yes. The day is coming. My 26th Birthday on the 26th of May, I'll be turning 25!

And you wont believe, I wait for my Birthday, the same way as a late running man stuck at a red light would wait for it to turn Green; as a person who has soap on his face and water goes off the shower, would wait for a drop of water.... yes in the same melodramatic way i wait for my Birthday ;)

Aaaah! Life has been beautiful. And you can enjoy it just because of that DAY when you came on this earth, so why not wait for it...!

I have been blessed with a wonderful family, 2 families now, my friends, my colleagues, my fellows, my buddies.. everybody in some or the other sense, has contributed to my life. And so, I thank all of them today. I thank each and every person who gave that cute curve to my lips.. Thanks to all of them who filled my eyes with tears, coz I learnt from them the most!

I want to take time today, to stop and think, what I have been doing for the last 25 years..
I have always been a believer in destiny. Jo Jaise Jab hona hota hai, hoke rehta hai! No one can mould anything except the almighty up there...

When I was in II year, I got my first job.. and that too, very different, very stylish, more of fun and less of work - Radio Jockeying! Me, my bro, my family, my frenz everyone enjoyed my being an RJ.. and guess what, I take pride in saying that at the age of 21, I managed to have a fan following :p
I got into a profession,  even before actually realising its importance!
I was quite decent at studies also. I was a popular girl at school, good academically, a pampered child of the family, great friends, and yes... because of the "not so bad looks" I was a popular chick amongst guys too, though it was quite  weird, getting lots of friendship requests on a land line (there were no mobile phones, no orkut, facebook and stuff at that time, just a land line fixed phone)  which was most often picked up by my father.. very embarrassing yeah...
Still, life has been kind enough to get me things, which i dint even think of getting.... which obviously later on might be needed... But I got them beforehand.
So, I always feel gratified when I stop and think.
 I would like to add here that A joint family really develops you in such a way that you learn to respect things. You have in yourself all the values imbibed at a very immature stage, which you realise as you grow up. I am thankful to my Papa, that he made this decision to stay in Jaipur with my Grandparents. Its because of him that I spent my childhood under the impeccable guidance of my grandfather and grandmother. Only a grandchild who has lived with his/her grandparents can understand what im trying to say...
 Well,
not everyone is this lucky to have everything, and here I am to thank God today for all His blessings!
And I pray, that He remains to be with me, in the same way forever.

Coz I just dont want to be someone who just came and went away,
I want the world to know, that I am there to stay.. that I am there to stay.....

Till this day, Whatsoever I have achieved, or I aspire to achieve... I cant stop myself from mentioning the Quote " Miles to go before I sleep and Miles to go before I sleep..."

Missing Home!

Hey,

I was just kinda missing home and family.. so thought to key down (earlier we used to write pen down) my feelings..
My marriage just completed 1 year, 3 days. And it gives me a realisation that i have been away from my home for a complete year now. Though I keep going to Jaipur (my home) as it is not too far from Delhi (where i live now), yet I miss being at home a lot.
Marriages have to happen and a girl has it in her destiny the moment she takes birth, that she has to leave her family and get transplanted in another space... and as my grandfather says, this transplantation is a necessary process, so its very obvious and undeniable.
So i am not complaining about anything. Rather I am happy that I am well settled in my new family and my parents are also quite elated with the fact that I am handling all my responsibilities nicely.
'Responsibilities' remind me of many things which used to happen when i was just like an another girl at home.
In fact, there have been instances when I realised what troubles Mum might have, when i bothered her with not completing my lunch at school or college, complaining that what she cooked was not good, criticised her for her irritable behaviour, growled over her when everyday she used to shout at me for drinking that full glass of yukkkkk milk, made a fuss when she stopped me from going out with friends, etc etc..
Now, when i have to face all these things, i feel terrible.
I miss each and every moment spent at my home.
Well, Im really blessed with a beautiful family here too. My husband, Rajat is very caring. My Devar, Rishabh is a sweetheart. We , the 3 of us, live together here in Delhi. and both of them always try to keep me smiling.
My mum in law and father in law are also very affectionate and benevolent.
Everything is going great. But still, there is a lil pain sometimes, inside the heart, which says, I miss Home!
