Story editing

Apparently, we have something called stories in our lives, that we 
can edit...and change our narratives in life... to achieve the goals
we want, OR to become the person we want... I believe in it.. 
only,I call them life-scripts. 

Couple of years back, I believed I needed to change my life script. 
I met many a failures on the path of love.. (no other aspect, just 
love.All brilliant, genius people have trouble with emotions and 
love you say?! You may be right!! ).. and ever the optimistic still 
believing in finding ever lasting love and happiness and a full, 
complete life (still minus kids!).. I think I changed something in 
me (that I still can't put a finger on)... that led me to the happy 
self that I am today ! (Far from being complete yet !) 
I let go of the baggage, of the emotional burden that I was 
carrying (or so I thought) and paved my way to a path strewn with
roses and thorns (I was, and still am the realist!)...and found 
myself blissful in the arms of my husband !!

When I started reading this book called 'Redirect' by Timothy 
Wilson.. I revisited my theory and my experiments. I still don't 
know what I did and whether I did it right... but the results d
show that editing our life scripts works...and that it is possible
to change the way the world appears if you can change your 
rose-tinted glasses with the ones that give you your own shade
of the world.

Hopefully soon, I will stop the blind experiments and be able 
to live my life in a scientifically controlled experimented way...
kidding...Ofcourse, I would like to know what I changed and 
how the outcome shaped itself..but I still like mystery and 
would like to keep my life uncontrollably enjoyable !

Date with myself


Soon these will be rare
Far and few in between..
Will have to sneak them in somewhere 
To re-acquaint with my own intimate mean..
Might visit the quite-known world of guilt
No matter, will be true.

Cos as much as I love being in love and being with hubby dearest...
I love myself too !! 


Power

Power... is an intoxicant.
It is easy to get addicted to it..

Every relationship is run by the one who owns the power in it.
Cos it is easy to know when you are the one owning it...
And unfortunately it is owned by the person who is least involved in it.

The tricky part is to maintain the balance.. something everyone
struggles with at some point or the other.

Better late than never...


Der lagi lekin...
Maine ab hai jeena seekh liya
Jaise bhi ho' din..
Maine ab hai jeena seekh liya
Ab maine...
Yeh jaana hai, khushi hai kya, gham kya...
Dono hi, do pal ki hai ruutein,
Na yeh thehre na ruke,
Zindagi, do rangon se bane
Ab roothe, ab mane,
Yehi to hai, yehi to hai, yahaan...

Der lagi lekin...
Maine ab hai jeena seekh liya
Aansuon ke bin...
Maine ab hai jeena seekh liya
Ab maine...
Yeh jaana hai kise kahoon apna
Hai koi, jo yeh mujhse keh gaya
Yeh kahaan tu reh gaya...
Zindagi to jaise kaaravaan
Tu hai tanhaa kab yahaan...
Sabhi to hai, sabhi to hai yahaan....

Relationships and their truths

Life somehow changes when you formalize your relationship...
Fact of life... the sad truth.

You meet someone interesting, you take it forward with your own pretenses,
you get into a commitment with some false promises (even of your own)....

Then when the honeymoon is over... sooner or later... you face the reality ! 

I, for one, have realized, that I want to be with someone who is somebody's husband first
and then somebody's son... Not the other way round !!
