At my own pace

I laze and relax,


I wonder and ponder



my mind thought ......

about the things that my brain couldn't sought

and my heart assured me

that my soul is free ...its not caught.



I tasted the sea and the droplets of rain

I felt the satin and tattered clothes covering the pain

Felt the heat of concrete high rise mansions

And swayed to sleep under the thatched roof built of passion

Some complained of having plenty

Some rejoiced when their plates were not empty

I pitied the happiness

and the thing which made me laugh was the sadness



I am neither cheerful nor poignant ,

Neither hollow nor expectant,

They label me a loser, incapable of winning the race

Isn't it ? In the end.... winners and losers will mix with the ether leaving no trace



Till then I let my body laze and relax.........

Let my soul wonder and ponder.........

Book Review - Ten Essentials to the blueprint of Happiness for writersmelon

10 essentials to the blueprint of happiness, the name easily discloses to you the intent it carries between the covers. The writer – Bhanu Arora pens his personal thoughts and everyday stories into ten chapters each taking the reader towards his belief system around happiness, which is usually accepted & adopted by the society at large. Anxiety over career progression, office gossips, self-identity, money matters, relationships, travel, leading a dream, believing in supreme power and many other aspects of our daily lives has been painted in a lucid manner by the author and hence makes it a very easy read. Though the author maintains a third person point of narration, but reader can sense his voice across the chapters as there is no single protagonist across all the pages of this self-help book. Each chapter deals with a specific issue actioned through set of characters lightly sketched and carries a self-help mantra as a possible solution. Portrayal of current scenarios &

37 year old and still wondering

Its been long since I blogged ...........in the past I used to blog using my office laptop and usually during office time :-) I used to find blogging a way to get out of the usual office boredom and it was the best way to look busy. Times have changed, now I am much older - without a proper job - trying my new venture which has the old thought .....and I am still wondering is this is what I want. I neither want to go back to the cubicles of the corporate and neither want to start a recruitment firm ....so what will this Ritu like to do ?? hmm let me think I would like to build my own small niche, leave a essence of me in it ..........money is not important , but it should let my bank balance at least stable or inching up at sloth pace. Something to do with earth,fragnances,happiness ..........will it ever happen and if so how- I am still wondering at my age of 37. I wonder how dangerous this question is - What you do ?

Joy of Receiving

My 3 year old son gets a new toy nearly every week. Occasions range from birthdays, visits of grand parents, visit to native, relatives visiting us, festivals , happiness spells....reasons are many as many toys in the house now. We generally give in to his demands for new toys because we love to see the twinkle in his eyes as he gets his new car and many times to hide our guilt of not able to spend good amount of time with him. I think i could have easily accumulated 1 kg of gold for my would be daughter in law with the amount we have spent on the toys. So every week a new toy comes and older ones get pushed under sofa , chairs and all the unseen places gathering dust and reducing the available space in 1000 sq ft home . Yesterday i decided to give away few old toys of my son to kids of construction workers working in our apartment. I chose toys which were in good shape but not played with and of course keeping in mind not to give away toys which had a fond memory attached. I went to t
