Hardwork definately gets you results but it also tests your patience in terms of time taken.

Mere Sapne [ My dreams]

 मेरे सपने 

मेरे आंसूओ  ने भर दिया एक  समन्दर ,

समन्दर  बना खारे  पाने से  भरकर जों निकला मेरे इन् दो आँखों के मन से .

दुखो का पहाड़ था इस दिल पे टुटा; मेरा मन था अंधियारी दुनिया मैं डूबा.

सोचा न था कभी कुछ ऐसा भी होता , मेरे दिल का टुकड़ा कुछ इस तरह से खोता।

मन के अरमानो पे चुरिया सी चल गयी; स्वप्न नगरी मैं जैसे स्तब्धता सी चा गयी।

कल तक तो हाथो मैं थे मेरे सपने, 'अटल बनके पुरे करुँगी यह सपने  ' -मन का यह विचार लेके आगे मैं बढती; पर उससे पहले थी  यह किस्मत भी पलती।

मेरे सपनो पे एक डाका सा दल गया; जादूगर की छड़ी से मेरा सपना रेत मैं बदल गया।

Today's thought is actually a question - 

Is the depth of your love directly / indirectly proportionate to the amount of wealth you have accumulated?

Having no expectations is something we all try to strive to live by but are not successful all the time.

For every person you love you also have also few reasons to hate. 

The only difference is the number of reasons for loving is more. 

The day the ratio changes, it becomes difficult to move ahead.

My guest post!

In this blogging journey of around 15 months I have come across a wonderful fellow blogger Swarnali who is very cute and adorable.  The name of her blog is also mystical- Dreams n Drama.

I had come across her blog when I did my first book review for Blog Adda - A Calendar too crowded and had fallen in love with both - her blog and her writing. Her header pictures are somethings which should not be missed at all.

I have done a guest post on her blog which you can read HERE. She has been really sweet is using those wonderful words for me and I am really touched with her sweet gesture. Though this is my first attempt at 55 fiction, this will always remain special to me because of this wonderful gesture by her.

Please do read my first attempt at 55 fiction and do let me know your views on the same.

Terrific Tuesday - A sweet victory

Winning always feels great. No matter what it is - it could be the race we have as a child or it could be winning the World cup. Victory is always cherished, remembered with a smile and nurtured over the years in sweet memories.

Sharing with you one such victory. On my other post Memoirs of Me - I had written a post on Mother's day and participated through it in a competition held by Blog Adda on this occasion. No prizes for guessing that I won it. And guess what I won?

I won one title in my favourite Chicken soup series :

Sometimes you take a lot of people for granted only to realise they were the actual real ones you should have genuinely cared for.

In this book the author has beautifully displayed myriad forms of human relationships like parents, friends, lovers, grandparents, colleagues etc. Through her eloquent writing she has added a mystic charm which these special things truly deserve.

About the Author 

Barbara Taylor Bradford is a best selling English novelist. For more details about the author please visit www.barbarataylorbradford.com

'Me' thinks

Where you belong is the story of Valentine Denning, a war photographer based in Paris. She comes across as a beautiful woman, seeking love and acceptance from each one around her.  Each one of us has some amount of Valentine in us – confused about our identity, looking for a sense of belonging, finding love and feeling hurt and let down by some of our loved ones.

The language and flow of the story is very easy and unpretentious. The foreword by the author states how she had to change the narrator’s angle in the story to that of Valentine when she was almost in the middle of the story. And her thought is actually praiseworthy. This story has been told as if Valentine herself is narrating and this is where the beauty lies. 

You feel the emotions she goes through very well as if she was a sitting in front of us and narrating it. Author’s superb writing skills manage to bring out the beauty of human emotions very well. Lies, deceit, betrayal, friendship, love and care are some of the emotions you might come across is this journey of Valentine. The author manages to do complete justice to each one of them by showing them in a newer light. As you accompany Valentine on a journey where she rediscovers her true self you realize how complex we seem to make our life for ourselves.

We tend to take most of things in our life for granted specially our relationships and never realize the true value of them till we have lost them.  We keep on looking for love all around the world only to conclude it was very much there all around from the very beginning. Reading this book might make you question your own sense of belonging and could also be the reason for you to embark on a journey of self discovery.

This book is considered to be one of the master pieces crafted by Barbara Taylor Bradford and I completely second that view as it is a must read for each one of us to recognize the love we are surrounded with.
