....Well, I just don't have a title...sorry...

When I read these books, I thought they were the best books ever written....

No Greater Love
The Long Road Home
Zoya
Five Days in Paris(jus naming a few.... by Danielle Steel)

The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons By Dan Brown( I didn't like the rest as much)

Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder( those of you who are into philosophy and have not yet read this masterpiece, its a must read... I loved it)

And yes... the HP series...whatever people say, I think J.K.Rowling has done a great job...

I also liked many books by John Grisham, Mario Puzo, Robin Cook, Jeffery Archer, Sidney Sheldon........................... and yeah the list goes on......

The thing is... from each book I ve read, I ve learnt something... a new word, a thought or an idea... which influenced my life a great deal... some in subtle ways, some bringing more... visible changes...
so maybe I can say I am indebted to these books and their authors... I started reading on my own when I was 3...yeah 3... well, they were picture books with a few lines.. n I moved on to comics, Aesop's fables, Fairy tales...wow.. I still love them.. then, Enid Blyton...Harry Potter...Richmal Crompton...
then a rapid shift to Judy Blume, Sidney Sheldon, James Hardly Chase, Archer, Hailey, Robin Cook, Luanne Rice, Jackie Collins..Nora Roberts... yeah... the list continues...

When I saw these movies I thought they were the best ever made...

Gone with the wind, Serendipity, Just Like Heaven, The Holiday.. Yeah.. I dwell on fantasy n live quite a dream filled life...so all romantic happy ending movies are a BIG yes...Typical x!

When I think of these people, I think they are the greatest who ever lived...
No, I am not talking of any world heroes or leaders... these are my heroes... my role models.. But, how much ever I try... I don't think I can be like them or find a replacement for them...
My mom, my Dad... and well, yes. I should include my whole family... and a few friends.. I specify the word few.. Coz I ve learnt that it is not having a lot of people to hang out with but having a few who care which matters... To those wonderful people who have helped me make my life seem brighter in some way or the other... made me smile... held my hand and just have been there for me.. when I needed you... I dedicate this post to you...

I don't think this is much of a post... N I ll probably discontinue blogging pretty soon... But today I felt like writing.. N here it goes....

When each year of my life passed... I thought it was the bestest year ever... What I didn't know was that the best is yet to come... With each passing year... I grew... no, not only growing up and older.. I grew wiser... stronger....
And as this 21 st year passes, I like to believe that this has the best year I ve lived so far... but I wait expectantly to see what the next year has in hold for me...
August is always the best month of the year for me... mainly because I was born in August.... and I try my best to make it a good month, a cheerful one.. a happy one... Lets see how this month goes...

Happy August everyone !!!!!

Another Prome....



Surprised at the response for my last post, my first Prome( all rights reserved) ... I decided to work on a new one... It might sound like sumthin u hav read sumwhr, but i assure u its sumthin i wrote.. original.. fresh frm my mind... jus put the thoughts into words....( jumbled up)...but its a prome all right... :)




I d like to take Life…

One day at a time…

Sprinkled with some sugar…

N a tiny pinch of salt…



You could add some spice…

To liven up things…

N Sometimes for reasons unknown...

It turns out to be bitter…



I d like some hope…

To see the brighter side…

N learn to wait…

For better times…



Some faith

To give me strength…

N not lose my heart…

When I fail a step…



A little love…

A little care…

To keep me going…

Through out the ride…



A drop of tear…

To wash my eyes every now n then…

So that I can view the world,

With clearer eyes…



And most importantly…

A smile…

From the people…

Who matter the most.

A LOVE PROME....( Love???)


I wil continue my skooling her story in a matter of few days... scribbled sumthing which i thot is even more interesting...


Dedicated to the love and light of (many people’s) life(s)…


Don’t get me wrong… It may be utter nonsense… but its wat I feel.. This is not romantic crap.. nor is it a fancy work.. these r jus feelings, put into jumbled words…this is wat I ve seen a lot of girls say n feel….this is a common scene I see everyday…




N Btb this is new form of putting Literature… Its called PROME… I named it coz I found it.. N I am the first one to write it… It’s a fusion btwn prose and poetry…


Oh.. The early days…

The twinkle in your eyes…

The smile on your face…

N those sweet words which followed…



That was when I thought…

Tht its all bout Love,honey…

N my future… wil be a big black hole

Without your divine presence…



No, I have not fallen out of love…

I never can… Its been just you…over the years…n forever

I have learnt to care…

Beyond all limits…

Coz sharing and caring for each other…

Is what love is supposed to be all bout…



Is the magic over?

I wonder sometimes…

I know I must not grumble

Coz a change is always inevitable…

But I jus cant stop wishing…

That things were the same again…



I have learnt to listen…

To whatever u have to say…

I have learnt not to argue…

Coz it is of no good…

I have learnt to understand…

Whatever you do…

Coz it is now that I realized

That guys are made this way…

N whatever I do…

You ll never change…



You were there,

Most of the time…( Underlined in RED)

To listen to my banter,

When I grumble non stop

To lend an ear,

When I pour out my woes…

To offer words of comfort,

Whenevr I was feeling down…



U made me smile...

After the endless stream of tears…

You stood by me…

During those intolerable mood swings

And drastic emotional out bursts…

( Yea, sumtimes being a female has its own disadvantages)

And for that I knw, You deserve

A Nobel… for Patience, if it exists…



But…

I wish You understand…

Atleast for once,

How it is to be ME…

I wish you realize…

How much I hate…

Being told what to do…



I don’t mind you being possessive,

As long as you don’t invade my space…

You know I am yours

For this lifetime…

Then why the hell are you acting so???



I m not a little birdie..

Who wishes to be caged..

I am not ready to sing

For your ears alone…

I want to be set free…

I wish to live life…

My Way…



N dearest, if u try to hold me back…

I cant assure you I ll stay…

I will try to break away…

Coz how much ever I love you…

Its my freedom which is at stake…



Just for once…

You could try to understand…

How it is to be ME…



You have never kissed me hard,

You have never hugged me tight…

Hell!!! U ve never even held me close…

[ all this coz I ve never given u a chance to, thts also true]



But when all is said and done….

I wish to stay with you…

Remain a part of you…

Coz I happen to be in LOVE with you…
