My Life

In My Life, I have been very fortunate to have come into this world with a silver spoon in my mouth. I have not been denied one need or one comfort. I have always been helped through every step in my life.

In My Life, I have seen the most hard working people, who are extremely dedicated to their professions come up on their own two feet and are now at wonderfully successful positions in their career.

In My Life I have met people who are concerned with nothing but money and for whom, love and family were secondary.

In My Life I have met people who change colors like the day changes to night, who behave one way today and another way the next.

In My Life I have met people who are so loyal, so affectionate, so friendly, so helpful. That you wonder how you lived the years before you knew them.

In My Life I have met people who love to make you feel lesser than them. (Well that could also do with my own complexes :-) )

In My Life I have met people who live life like there is no tomorrow.

In My Life I have met people who live life and try to spread joy every moment along the way.

In My Life I have met people who will tell you the truth no matter what. They believe that the truth needs to be told. (I really respect people who do that.)

In My Life I have met people who don't understand some limits of friendship, some feelings of others.

In My Life I have met people who live in their own world, who don't care what the rest of the world thinks, who think that there is no one they need to justify their life to anyone.

In My Life I have met people for whom work is worship, work is life. Work is their world.

In My Life I have met people who fall so deeply in love that being without their other half is like tearing a part of themselves out of them.

But in My Life I find it very difficult to out myself down in a line. I am a combination of all these people in one way or the other. I have the good and the bad in me, I am in some way a person evolved from all these people I have met.

All Of us, All of us can make such a list. This list will if nothing else tell you who the people who impact you life the most are. The people who make you what you are. The good or the bad the things we take in our lives to make it whole.

P.S : Please If you know me, Don't try and find yourself in any of these people. This Blog was not meant to offend anyone. It's just a post about my Life. My Life alone. So I could all well be that all these people are in one way me, or I at least wish they were or never wish to become.

So how Important is English?

English. The language we all speak everyday. The language I am writing this in now. How important is this language. What would you do if you did not know English? Well I guess you would not be reading my blog for starters.

Anyway the idea of this post is to talk about the various different types of English. I mean we all speak the same language right. How come we don't understand each other at times? Of course I am not talking about what I am writing here, it's more about spoken English. Why does it sound so different.

English is second nature to most of us. So when you speak to a person from another country, but still speaking the same language it feels very different when you strain to understand what they are saying. Is it an inadequacy in our understanding or is it just that English is not one language but many, Indian, Asian, American, Australian, European, and the English English. Maybe we all speak similar languages, not the same. It has the same script but sounds different. But it serves the same purpose. We can communicate.

Well we have to agree that it is the only language that most of the world can understand. That's how important this language is.

P.S : Rambled on a bit in this post. It's a bit incoherent. Well just felt like writing. It happens I guess.

A New Life.

My Life...

It's the same one that I came into this world with 23 years ago.
These 23 years have had ups and downs, they have had a lot of joy and it's share of sadness.
This life has definitely had a lot of learning though..
The good or the bad there has been a lot I have learned on the different aspects of life...

Life for each individual means something different. Life is just everything that happens to us everyday.

My New Life, I, A person who lived almost all his life in the same country in the same city moving to a New Country and New style of life is a major change of gears.

I have so much at Home.. So many people extremely dear to my heart. This change triggers so many parallel emotions at the same time that it is really difficult to process.

Especially for me a person that loves his family and friends so much.. There are certain people in all our lives that has such an effect that we find ourselves partly hollow when that person is taken away from our side..

I know I am writing this with my Love in my mind, I know how much she means to me and I to her.

But there are also some other people, Some people who mean as much to me. Those people who taught me how to talk how to walk and made me the person I am today. My Parents. They mean so much to me, they are so much of my world that without them around it feels too different. Who does not love their parents. We all do.. Most of us as we grow stop showing it.. But the fact that they are an integral part of our lives never ceases to be true..


My Sister(Mu Bolli ho to kya, who meri apni behan ki tara hai mere liye) my listening post my best friend, too much for me to say. There are no words for this girl. She's just great...

These people are my Life, these people are my world.. This new country This new city cannot change that.. My Family is my Life...

Contemplative......

Rahul...


P.S : I know although this post says nothing about my love, there is a really big reason for that. I find it too difficult to speak about someone that is my world. Someone that is the reason for this heart beating.. MY LIFE.

Why Blog???

Why? Why do we blog?

Why do we write something and post it online?

Do we know who reads it?

Are we expecting someone in particular to read it?

How many of our blogs get read by people other than our friends and our near and dear?

Are we expecting to make a change? Make people think?

Why? Why do we put our thoughts online????


Well I Blog... On and off I Blog... I write... I write because I love to write... It is a wonderful outlet for me.. It is my way of expressing myself.. This blog does not give me the freedom to write... I have always had that... It allows me to share my thoughts and experiences with the world... Even if it might just be a handful of my friends...

So many of us blog about our lives.. The way it is going and where we would like it to go, then there a those among us who write about the happenings in the world..And like most of us.. Just whatever comes into their head....

My Blog is not my Online Diary... It is not A Propaganda Portal... It is just a place where I come to Heal...

Blogging .... Healing.......

Makes no Sense right?

Well Blogging... Somehow makes me feel great... Even if I am not writing about anything significant... I am writing from my heart.. That is how it heals me.. Makes me feel Happy.. Makes me think...

I know some of the people who read it...

Especially One person.. Sometimes they are for Her.... Sometimes they are for my Passion..

My Passion For Writing....

Sometimes it's just for One Person... ME..


I BLOG FOR ME!!
That's Why I BLOG!!!!


So anyone else who Blogs or Writes or Does something they are passionate about... Why do you do it?
