Song of motivation

This song which is really close to my heart as this song give me a true  motivation.
This one is a true motivator , plus it reminds me of my school days, where on every occasion we used to sing this song for sure.

hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
ham hain wo diye auron ke liye
jinhen toofaanon mein jalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai

jab tak na lagan ho seene mein
bekaar hai aise jeene mein
jab tak na lagan ho seene mein
bekaar hai aise jeene mein
chadhnaa hai hamen chandaa ki tarah
sooraj ki tarah nahin dhalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
ham hain wo diye auron ke liye
jinhen toofaanon mein jalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai

aakaash se aati hai ye sadaa
gham aaye agar to ji na dhalaa
aakaash se aati hai ye sadaa
gham aaye agar to ji na dhalaa
kabhi gham hain yahaan,
kabhi hain khushiyaan
har haal mein ham ko palnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
ham hai wo diye auron ke liye
jinhen toofaanon mein jalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai

I would recommend to listen to this song atleast once as it is very pleasant to ears . . plus it is a good motivator.

Independence Day!!

A very happy Independence day to all!!!

As we celebreate independence day every year, do we ever question ourself as are we really free?  No matter we live in a free country but are we really free from our internal shackles?

When i watch the situation in few countries where women are still treated very badly, I feel blessed and fortunate to be born in an independent nation where women are treated Independent and not as slaves. But having freedom and feeling free are not the same. Sometimes, age-old traditions bind us and we stick to them, sometimes for our own personal gain and sometimes because we are too scared to break them or question them and sometimes as we do not want to step out of our comfort zones as we become accoustomed to the same style of living, same thoughts and sometimes we wanna play very safe.

When i think about myself i read same type of books, i listen to same genre of music and i dont wanna change as i think i may not like it. Worst thing is people around me have started saying Preeti you love only romantic books and you wont like what i am currently reading. Many a times my near and dear ones tell me that its not your type of music . Your taste is old classics . The thing is i am bounded to the similar types. And need of the hour is free myself of the routines which i dont like to change..

I think to be truely free, we have to open our minds and hearts to new experiences. True freedom is to attempt the unconditional, and feel happy about attempting what you feel tou cannot.

We often mistake that independence is something that must be granted to us, but in reality it is something that lies deep within us.

So this independence day, cut away everything that binds you to enter a free, happy space. If you want it , you will find it..

This is just one facet of being really independent or not there are many facets even..

A happy independence day again- desire to be independent..

“Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.” -- Nora Ephron, I Feel Bad About My Neck (And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman)

Adieu to 2011

Cant believe its the last day of the year . This year have been a year of happiness,sorrow,  celebration, adieu, tragedies, new life, new relationships , new learning , new dreams , new home , new city, change of city, was a year in which I watched max movies in the theatre etc etc etc..

2011 started with a wish from my would be life partner Ritesh. This year passed with a preparations of wedding.. The results of my students and there gratitude towards me was overwhelming.. I miss them and my teaching life ..

Wedding bells ringed on May 11, 2011..A year where we came together to build our cocoon of love. A day of too much perfection , A moment of happiness to start a life with Ritesh plus a moment of pain to leave behind the family with whom I spent almost my quarter life. 

Stepped in a new family, a new bunch of people, new relations to maintain, new city, new environment, adjusting in the new environment while still holding the roots of past quarter life.  Everything seemed easy by the support of Ritesh- my husband ,my family , my in-laws and my friends. 

Completed my one year with Ritesh - July 19 2010- July 19 2011. A great and a special 12 months of my life.. Got a iPhone as a gift from Ritesh to mark the importance of this day in our lives.. This day will be remembered every year , as it is important day in both of our lives..

A year of new challenges . A sudden , unexpected, drastic change in life came with a decision of shifting from a well known metro (Chennai) to a not-so-well-known town Nellore. I know it was the need of an hour and it was a right decision yet it was really painful for me , as even before I started the search for my dream man who is according to my expectations, I was looking for a metropolis and many opportunities it offered. I knew the equation would change after marriage, but never thought this would change so much that life would seem just a MIRAGE- A mirage that promises lot of things but is still just a mirage. 

A new life started again in a another city Nellore, A complete new life , with so much of love from Ritesh, my family, my in-laws , my friends but a torture to the peak from my near and dear ones. Never expected ppl will drain my strength instead  of doubling it.. 

A year of new learning.

Learnt Poster Rangoli, Sanskar Bharati Rangoli , Quilling, Cooking full time, Baking , decorating and designing cakes. 

A new member who took birth in our family- Reha , welcome to this new world ... I even welcome the baby gal of Basanti, one of my new friend.

A year when we celebrated our anniversary of 6 months on 11/11/11....

A year of my first abroad trip to Singapore and my first holiday on a star cruise..--- The most beautiful birthday gift and a great place for honeymoon ..

Celebrated my Birthday on 13/12/11- a day with a descending numbers 13 - 12 - 11.. It was my silver jubilee since I have stepped in this beautiful world i.e A completion of quarter life and a start of quarter life crisis.. 

A year in which I have become a hard core fan of Nicholos Sparks. A year when I started blogging, A started writing my daily journal.. 

A year where I again failed to complete the Harry potter series. 

A year where I am actually  gaining weight which I have never been my concern but have become a concern this year..

A year where I realized "If you don't have an iPhone, you don't have a Phone." My iPhone is at service center , I wish the coming year gives me back my sweetheart , my iPhone..

A thanks to everybody who contributed to make 2011 special for me.  A special

 thanks to Ritesh, my Love, my awesome , most amazing, wonderful husband. I am so blessed and so thankful to God to call him my husband, my best friend. Thankful for his example, his support, his love for me and our family, his never ending encouragement to me...

Bye bye 2011..

My wishes for 2012 to everybody

Happiness

Good Fortune

Contentment

Longevity and 

Love.

Happy New Year 2012...
