10 Things We All Do And Should Stop

Expecting too much : From expecting a teacher to pass you in your exam to expecting your crush to like you back. We all know it won't happen, so stop Procrastinating : We all love doing it,  do it all the time but we all know it ends up biting us in the back,so stop Dieting : There is nothing wrong in eating  what you want,  you can always turn to healthy eating habits but skipping food won't help,so stop skipping and start eating. Avoiding : We all end up avoiding things be it the ex or our fears.  It's high time that we face them. Easy said then done but trying facing one fear,  one challenge at a time. It will only make you stronger, so stop. Trusting : I ain't saying you need not trust anyone but may be just don't trust people too easily and if that is something you end up doing just be prepared that it could end up hurting a little,so stop. Making Promises : It is said don't make promises if you can't keep them I say don't make them at all.It...

Kids = Reason to smile

Every morning I get up and I hate the fact that have to go to office but I still go anyways because I know that once I am back home all the stress of my office will disappear. I don't know how my nephew does it, every time I come back from office he is there waiting at the door. He is so excited seeing me. He can't wait for me to go freshen up.He has so much to tell me be it about his school, his friends. He is looking for my reaction he wants to tell me about all the cool thing he has learnt at school today so that I can be proud of him.Even after a long exhausting day he has the energy this energy excitements means the word to me. He gives me a reason to smile and I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. He is like a bundle of joy. He is like my partner in crime in all the pranks.He at times is my get away card, his innocent eyes has sure helped us out of huge troubles.  Just the other day he was trying to teach my mom all about football. My mom has never ...

Always your number one fan

My nephew for a week been asking his parents to get him all these merchandise of his favorite football club, at first when he wanted a jersey his parents agreed but now the craze has moved from the jersey to a towel, a bed-sheet, a night suite you name it and he wants it. Seeing his endless demand list his parents have refused to get him anything now. Which is kind of making him mad. Last weekend when I went over I realized what was happening, I asked him what he wanted to do with all these thing it is then he told me, "All my friends at school have it and I want to show them that I am this teams number one fan"  I asked him then 'So all those kids who can't afford all those fancy merchandise are they not allowed to have a favorite team? cause if we go by your logic they won't be able to ever be number one fan" It is then I tried to explain him that there are various ways to prove that your someones number one fan. My nephew has now decided that he wil...

Someday, may be on a Sunday

She was standing in the corner of the room, alone as always listing to this very handsome looking gentleman playing his Trumpet. She could hear people talking around her and breaking her concentration. All she wanted was for everyone to disappear so she could be all ears, but didn't happen. Soon the trumpeter stopped playing making her sad, she hadn't heard someone play so well and she didn't want him to stop.  She decided to step outside, it was a perfect night with the stars twinkling and the cold breeze blowing. She sat on the grass and grazed at the stars.  "Do you have a lighter?" asked a man with a husky voice from the dark  she got up to acknowledge the voice noticing it was none other than the trumpeter.  "Sorry, I don't smoke" she said in a trembling tone.  He walked out and sat next to her. They both sat there looking at the stars, neither of them spoke a word. He then broke the silence ...

Gibson Through The Lens - Mumbai

Have you ever walked down memory lane in the midst of extremely talented people, I have at least that is what it felt when I entered to see the Gibson Through The Lens exhibition.I haven't seen something so mesmerizing.This was one place I didn't mind spending hours at.When they say they are showcasing the works of the worlds most respected photographers obviously your expecting to see their best work, it is when you see these photographs it is then you realize these are not just some amazing pictures but they are stories. Each photograph has something amazing to say. From Jimmy Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Jon Bon Jovi,Billy Joe, Bob Marley and many more they featured about 60 prints of legendary musician who left me awestruck.   The Other People  I am a 90's kid I have heard these artist and I appreciate their work but for some people it was way more thn that it is when I was interacting with Loy Henriques the Bass Guitarist of the band The Other People I realized it. ...

Appreciating things is not that easy

I am someone who loves appreciating things and people so if  I come across someone who are really talented I will go out of my way to tell them that, now as easy as this sounds its not. For instance if a girl appreciates a male artist the first thought that comes to peoples mind is "she just likes his work cause he is hot, what does she know about art?" or " she is just flirting with him ". It is kind of a challenge to appreciate anything cause you know your being judged. Like I cannot appreciate a particular artist cause he is not too famous. Just cause the artist I like doesn't have millions of twitter followers doesn't make him less talented but no not everyone gets that.  This one instance I remember about my cousin being this huge fan of a local sketch artist and we must have been to like a few exhibitions, my sister loved his work and she must told him "N" number of times that. My cousin must have told everyone about him even asked t...

MOM

My Ammi is my superhero, she is that one person that comes to my mind every time that I am in trouble. Ever wonder why every time you end up falling  the first thing that comes out of your mouth is MOM. I love my mom way too much but you know there are things that  I hate as well..... I hate how she gets up everyone morning just to make sure that I start off my day with breakfast I hate how she worries about the entire world but fails to share her worries with anyone I hate how she ends up giving the last piece of fish to me even when she is hungry I hate how she ends up buying me more clothes than her when we go shopping I hate how she fights with me still makes sure that I eat I hate how she solves my problems but doesn't give me hers I hate how she get worried when I am ill but doesn't let me do the same I hate how she act all strong even when she wants to cry I hate how excited she gets to send me for trips but never goes on one her self I hate how she ends u...

The Other People

I am someone who is a huge fan of live music, I like how a particular song that you have heard before is sung in way that is so different. The art of making a very common song sound like it was something that was suppose to be sung by these people, one such band is The Other People.  It's a Mumbai based band which I first saw performing at the India Bike Week. After that I have seen them perform a few more times and they still end up surprising me.  A few of my really close friends didn't get to attend IBW so I took it as my responsibility to make sure all my friends see these guys perform and no surprises there even they ended up liking them. The best part about live music is you get to interact with the band members and when it comes to The Other People these guys are easily approachable. One really wise guy once told me  "Don't you ever be Scared", so next time when you see a band performing and you end up liking them go ahead talk to them let them know ...
