Innocence

When I sat inside
She was looking outside

My mind took a sudden stall
As the Mom watched her doll

Railing up high in the air
little knees on the chair

Amazing to see the stubborn trees
sailing in reverse, a moment to freeze

Didn't take a second for the memory wheel
to roll back to the time, wish I could Steal

Mom what is this and Mom why is that
silly lovely queries throughout they sat

The innocence of a child
can force you to smile

which I had to share with My Lady
How my journey became worthwhile

Paint a picture..

Choose your colors extra wise......

So, It was a good experience drawing after such a long time. I don't exactly remember the last time i picked crayons.

This was great. As usual I started of painting a landscape but the sea HAD to come in the picture.

Its doesn't feel complete otherwise. Hence the water.

Honestly the picture looks like drawn by a 5 year old but if you looked at the other pictures that were hanging on the wall you would love mine.

Most of the kids had drawn flowers, butterflies, trees, Flags, birds, sun, house, their families, little girls, teddy bears and stuff like that but there was this one particular drawing that was way out of the league.

The picture had random things, like a football, and it appeared something like a house backyard.

i could never think of drawing anything like that.   So I made what I am best at,  A sea, mountain, grass, sky and a Big Sun.  A boat to fill the large space upon the sea...  And I like my picture the best of all so              I wrote Best of All on it. This shall motivate other kids.

Overall experience was good and colors make me happy... :)

T R A N C E

Was listening to the state of trance last night.... Just when it occurred, why am i liking is so much.

Answer came along with the next song...

Our life is divided into phases of different music genres. I never thought trance would be a part of it some day.

I like trance.

Trance is so captivatingly addictive. Trance is space travel. Trance makes me want to dance. Forever.

That's how I feel when I hear soulful echoes coiled in enigmatic and divine rhythms so beautifully enraptured in thudding beats.

Its like the world had united to sanctify music. There shall be no wars, no boundaries and no differences.

When I listen to trance, I feel supernatural. Something very difficult to articulate. Something like diving into a deep blue ocean because the waves are calling. The dive is infinite and you love it underwater.

Trance is taking a pique in an imperial orange fire because the flames are calling...they are inviting for a promising dance to risk your life for.

State of Trance makes me float in the air, like smoke...so high. It reaches till I am swimming in a constellation of stars and they are just gliding along..

The sub conscious is taking over the mundane self. It is making the world seem like a transparent shell where you were once caged.

Trance is a rescue. The synapse that cures corroding emotions. It is a life dose. A gush of frenzy...

How everything becomes so insignificant with the rising octave... the unknown length of drum roll, the rush of blood with a totally unpredictable euphony and the never ceasing goose bumps... you are intoxicated with Music. you are not afraid of anything.

It saves my world, fills the blanks, words the unsaid.

Trance is a dazzle. When I close my eyes, I see the sunrise.

The best part, It makes you feel beautiful...

I love Trance.

Don't waste the pretty

Always be classy. Never be crazy.

Remember always what you set out to get, and please don’t settle for less.

You picked a lemon. Throw it away. Lemonade is overrated.

No answer is your answer.

A good relationship should not be lived in secrecy.

Smiling about Chocolates and a flower on the back seat of the car
During Vulnerable seconds in the elevator.
Fearing about an unwelcome Incident.
Wanting to let the illogical mind take over.
Suspecting anticipation turning dismayed. 
Wondering whether express or uphold consciousness.
Being ignorant on purpose.
Trying to figure your mood in the situation.

Knowing how black and White the truth is.

     

    

A Delhi Recipe

Sitting idle in the room

Its not unusual that I tumbled upon

Train of thoughts- some vague some lorn

Talk about this place

composed of chaos and confusion

Folks will religiously guide you to 'somewhere'

Just try asking them for directions!

Metro is the saving grace,                                 

And the only truth in Delhi..

A place where it always is

privilege being a Lady..

A comment on the weather swing?

its worse than a girl Pmsing

Frozen winters and blue finger tips

while Sweaty summers feel like lava dips

And don't mind the jerky tremors

they like to shake you weekly..

Or may be its the nature's message

'Spare some time for your family'

Abstracting city chaos and people

is everything but simple.

If you give me just one line to fix,

I'd start with 'delhi-cate' chicks

Beauty shop on Sticks !

You can't help but notice.

Quick word on men if I share

They're here, there and every where!

labors & corporates to driver & pilots

Cops & scientists to popes and rapists

Must say, it's quite some choley kulchey mix

Hungry if you are, Delhi's a spot to devour

Chains of every outlet, savoring wines at bar

While we put on pounds, wallets often starve

A place with price tags, And everything so Fake

Sometimes I wonder if I should take

A final U turn to my city of lakes

You want to survive, then ignore and drive

Adapt to the change, like or don't like!

Because everyday you're awake

It is Delhi - where life's a constant shake

Its only about getting used to

things like rape and earthquake.

Brief moments

Incident -1

Time - June 2012   Place - M G Road

Was on my way back home and saw the big ripe Mangoes. Went to the vendor to buy some. A Senior Lady was already picking some "best ones". I was bewildered as to how to choose from the entire lot! They all appear exactly the same. 

So I randomly picked 2 mangoes and asked him to pack. The lady intervened and said to the vendor to give me the Best ones!  what made me smile was when she said-  "Give the little girl the good mangoes!!" 

then she picked another 2 out and asked the guy to pack them instead. I took them and got back. 

The lady was nice and it was kind of cute :)


Incident - 2

Time - May 2013   Place - Metro Station

Was taking the exit when I saw this perplexed Old Man with a token in his hand. He was in Gray kurta pajamas. A walking stick in the other Hand and seemed like he had some vision impairment.

He asked me from where could he board the bus to Galleria. I tried to explain but he looked worrisome. He won't even take the exit ! So I took his token and asked him to cross as soon as i say him to. He hurriedly did so.

After wards, I continued to my way but then he still had to be led till the Bus. And it would have been really mean to leave him on his own amidst the Hustle bustle. Guiding was of no avail so I led him to the elevator. Had a strange but warm feeling within. I optioned him to take an Auto, but i Guess he took the Bus.

And when he look relieved I took leave as he thanked me with a blessing sealed in his wrinkled smile.

Its Authentic !!

# My Answers

Authentic is a very powerful word. 

Being authentic is being real. It is being genuine. It also is a process of being honest to yourself. It is in finding alignment with our hearts’ desires, to our values and in 'not pretending'. It requires courage. It is uplifting. It may be tough but it is worth every bit of it. It is in taking a stand point for our beliefs and in not escaping unpleasant situations.

It makes us love ourselves even if the world does not. We may 'have' less. We will still 'be' more. Isn't that fantastic?

In my work, being authentic has meant different things at different times. Sometimes, it has been in forgiving. Sometimes it has been in making a new beginning. Sometimes, it has been in listening to criticisms without replying, waiting for my work to do the talking. Sometimes it has been in letting go while sometimes it has meant to hold on. I have experienced that following this path has always pointed me toward rightness, peace and flow…

What Your Name Means

You entered: Rashmi Singh

There are 11 letters in your name.
Those 11 letters total to 62
There are 3 vowels and 8 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 8

The characteristics of #8 are: Practical endeavors, status oriented, power-seeking, high-material goals.

The expression or destiny for #8:

Your Expression is represented by the number 8. The 8 Expression is well-equipped in a managerial sense. You have outstanding organizational and administrative capabilities. You have the potential for considerable achievement in business or other powerful positions. You can expect to receive the financial and material rewards. You have the skill and abilities to establish or operate a business with great efficiency. You have good judgment when it comes to money and commercial matters, and you understand how to build and accumulate material wealth. Much of your success (or lack of it) may come due to your ability (or inability) to judge character. With the number 8 Expression, you exercise sound judgment in most of your affairs; you are realistic and practical in your approach to business matters.
The positive 8 Expression produces individuals that are very ambitious and goal-oriented. If the 8 energy is not in excess in your makeup, you will no doubt express these traits to some extent. No one has any more energy that a person with the 8 Expression who has a plan laid and is starting to work. No one has any more self-confidence, either. If you are expressing the positive qualities of 8, you are an outstanding manager because you can plan, initiate, and complete projects; you are very dependable and determined.
As it always happens, there can be too much of a good thing. If you have too much of the 8 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes. A negative 8 can be very rigid and stubborn. Ambition sometimes has a way of becoming over-ambition, and you may express an unreasonable impatience with the lack of progress. If your negative side is showing, you may be too exacting, both of yourself and of others. Sometimes this can even becomes a case of intolerance.
The number 8 is very materialistic and also very desirous of status and power. Neither of these drives are inherently negative unless they are taken to an extreme. You must avoid the tendency to strain after money, material matters, status, or power, to the detriment of the other important factors in your life.

Your Soul Urge number is: 1

A Soul Urge number of 1 means:

Your Soul Urge is the number 1. With a Soul Urge number of 1, you want to lead and direct, to work independent of supervision, by yourself or with subordinates. You take pride in your abilities and want to be recognized for them. You may seek opportunities to display your strength and usefulness, wanting to create and originate. In your desire to manage the big picture and the main issues, you may often leave the details to others.
The positive 1 Soul Urge is Ambitious and determined, a leader seeking opportunities. There is a great deal of honesty and loyalty in this character. If you possess positive 1 Soul Urge qualities, you are very attainment oriented and driven to success. You are a loyal friend and strictly fair in your business dealings.
The negative side of the 1 Soul Urge must be avoided. A negative 1 is apt to dominate situations and people; the home, the spouse, the family and the business. Emotions aren't strong in this nature. If you possess an excess of 1 energy, you may, at times, be boastful and egotistic. You must avoid being too critical and impatient of trifles. The great need of the 1 Soul Urge is the development of friendliness, and a sincere interest in people.

Your Inner Dream number is: 7

An Inner Dream number of 7 means:

You dream of having the opportunity to read, study, and shut yourself off from worldly distractions. You can see yourself as a teacher, mystic, or ecclesiastic, spending your life in the pursuit of knowledge and learning.

Every time a camera flashes, a new picture is born, ready to be treasured and valued. But our eyes increasingly marvel at the flash rather than appreciate the darkness between memories.

.......................... hmm.......    seriously?.........................   if you had to think so much then why are you here? Just write it dude!!!

Okay Okay.....  i felt like writing about valentine's day. :P

Its has no special meaning to me but.. quite awkwardly I don't despise the day either!

Oh.. why am I being so formal? Fuck it.. I like Valentine's Day!! Its wonderfulllll.... : D

No roses, No Chocolates, No teddy bears or any thing which is cliched to the day has bearing to the origin of this post. (No fictitious characters either!)

The funny thing is- every year the day is different. Completely unexpected!! I mean I try so hard treating it like a regular day.. but But BUT..... it has always been so much more..

Single or attached... I like the day! I like the very Idea of it.. Its so positive and lively!

How do I even explain it? You are happy to be with someone and then you have this entire day to tell them, how much you are content and lucky to be with them.  You want to show and express in whatever form you think would woo or surprise them. Its like falling for somebody all over again. 

The day F5's your relationship!  :)

Its healthy as well!  You are happy, which means the neurons are relaxed, perfect circulatory system (hearts's doing good!) Perfect pupil dilation, you are looking and feeling beautiful about yourself!

You sure have added some more days to your life..

This was like an unprocessed thought... so don't feel like writing any more..
