Music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As cliche as it may sound but it still remains true n strong "Music makes you who you are"..i mean not literally but yes to a greattt extent.

As in , i am sure each one of us has tried listening to music when we are happy/sad/depressed (Songs cater to this segment as well ! beat that :/ ) . Personally songs are for me strictly when i am "HAPPY". Yes!!!!!!! i cant listen to the  saddest songs in the world. I just can't connect with them . If you are sad , and you listen to slow/dead songs you end up crying...then why on the first place you started listening to songs...you were depressed and could have ended up crying any which ways!

Nevertheless lot of people swear by the "Healing Power" of music to which i totally abide by! I am not hesitant to accept thta Honey Singh heals me faster than Sonu Nigam!! I don't know why but i am a sucker for loud music!!! Happiness is what i get out of it and happiness is something i live for.
I may crib the whole day...but that's not me...that's what the place is making me give back to them **can't help much** but when i am back...back in mood...it's me and Honey Singhhhh (Yes , probably i mentioned him so many times , because i just listened to three of his songs thirty times) and the name would change sooner or later). But it doesn't matter...i am no sucker for "art". Sorry ! but that's how it is.rude may be, but is a fact.

Honey Singh may not sing the most sensible songs but surely know how to make his listeners happy and he is damn good at making that segment contended. Art/ Culture/tradition/sur/taal/soul of music are heavy words....i can't connect with them! i connect with "mass music" which simply clicks and yes you don't need brains for it. After a whole day's brain storming at work who wants to apply brains even in the kind of music you hear!!!!! Give me a  break!

Songs....i love you!!! as long as i can connect with you and yessss i connect with the loudest/weirdest and at times the most funny songs ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i find soul in them...a soul because it makes me happy! Makes me smile and gives me some moments of pure bliss!

Unveiling The Workaholic me!

The work...the exhaustion...the stress!!! might be normal for some..but for a person like me it take hell lot of patience and time to adapt to it! Yes i CAN work till late , i CAN work in stress but i need TIME. Time to adjust, time to get comfortable and time to get into the flow and once i start flowing there is no looking back ;)

My personal view is that working to the core is the best way to do justice to  your conscience. I love what i do so i have no qualms about it. Yes i crib..i crib a lot(one of the biggest cribbers u'll ever find ;) but that is what makes it all worthwhile...if you know you HAVE to do it , you actually DO. Some positive energy guides you through and you get the feel yes , it can be done...if not easily , atleast successfully! and that's all what matters at the end.

It has its own highs and lows...if ego boost is one of the highs...lack of time with family , friends is one of the lows :( but with one hell of a supporting family and friends it all becomes a lot easier!!! Ofcourse being over protected and over spoil kid works against handling it all at one go...but then you get used to it...you know that's the way of life. Not everywhere you will find a hand which holds. But that doesn't mean you have to walk 'alone' it just means walk with everyone but 'independently' no crutches!!! and rightly so....just a couple of positive lines are enough...are enough to keep the focus.....to feel happy and .to make it happen!!!

Shun Expectations!! Adopt Hope :)


“If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed.” 
― Sylvia Plath

And Sylvia must have been truly hurt while saying this...but truly practical as well. If you want to get unhappy , unsatisfied...go ahead... Expect as MUCH as you can.But remember Expectation is one habit , you will always repent. Let it be , because you don't need THEIR approval. Things like 'how am i looking?' , "is this work good?' , 'Can you help me?' , will never give you the answer that YOU want , but always , an answer which will disappoint you , or in extreme cases , shatter you . So chill! Relax! life is too short to ask for approvals , be secure in your own skin. Doesn't matter if the person isn't ready to take care of you , you are able enough to do so your ownself. Doesn't matter if you don't look pretty to the person in question , You are a princess to your own heart...and doesn't matter if the person doesn't love you back...you should be immersed in self love!!!! <3 :)
Yes , and as preachy as it may get..but at the end it's just one opinion that matters..your OWN opinion. Thousands of people may say good about you , but if you know you aren't , even 'n' number of approvals wont satisfy you and you will still go hunting for a 'nod'.But if you are secure enough , despite thousands refutes , you would still go to sleep with utter peace of mind and would know in heart...'I know i am good'
Don't expect your bosses to appreciate every single thing you do...they don't sit at your head all the time...but if YOU know you work hard...there is no question in point. You are ready to face whosoever! It doesn't even matter.
Life is too short to get tensed , unhappy and yes...tears are precious! Atleast for the ones who care. Leave expectations but always keep 'Hope' close to you.There is a difference between expectation and hope. I might expect my boss says , 'Komal you did a fabulous job'!!! but when i hope...i hope 'I do good work'.Expectations are subjective...Hope is Generic.If it doesn't get fulfilled..It doesn't hurt!
. Expectations are connected with people around you....Hope is inside you! People can kill expectations but hope is there to live forever!!!!!

p.s. Be happy! That smile is precious!

Obsessions!


They are important if you want to live more than you breathe! Being obsessed with something pushes you for that extra mile...that mile which matters the most at the end...the mile which makes all the difference. People say obsession isnt healthy...i say its IMPERATIVE. You cannot sustain on mere basis of 'eat love pray'...there has to be space for 'obsession'. I am Obsesed...obsessed with 'Pink'...obsessed with 'Chocolates'...obsessed with 'Romantic tales n movies'...obsessed with red roses..obsessed for that extra achievment...obsession with life...obsession with myself.
When the environment changes..the comfort zone ends...the positivity gets lost somewhere..you need a helping hand...you need to walk that extra mile...you need to have that obsession to suceed.
My obsession with 'Pink'  comes across in my daily chores of life! From room to clothes to watch to specs...its all pink...makes me feel special...not for anyone else...for my OWN self..after all who doesnt need a dose of 'self love'...?
Chocolates, Twilight , and 'feel good factor' make me take that step...step which makes me who i am...not necessarily amazing for all..not necessarily best for all..but when i sleep at night...my peace of mind and sense of satisfaction stays with me...it tells me...my obsessions make me live n love that extra moment of happiness :)

And it did NOT happen!

There are days when you feel that you have certainly DID it and then god laughs at you,...dear , its NOT the way , YOU want it be...i shall have MY own ways! and then you have no option  but to deal with the disappointment.
Yes the thought was that it was good, but probably the result shouted 'Not Good Enough'.
Might/might not be convincing ,but is a fact for sure. Days can drain you emotionally but you got to have that stride to still try and excel and let that day come , when you get up and say , Hey shutup! cz , its finally DONE and the people right now having a gala time have no option but to respect , cz its your's and nobody has the right to claim it now.
Nevertheless such things do not dishearten more than few hours. Once back in the comfort zone , i know i have other things to look at , which make me happy ,make me feel contended and not just another contender!
