I was triggered by Glenn Medeiros but definitely fuelled by Simran &amp; her mischievous lover!!&lt;br /&gt;I spent a life time figuring out ways to reach 'simran' but in-vain. All that i could do (which i still relish) was saying "I liked you a lot but not anymore" and that was my share of srk style chivalry.&lt;br /&gt;Later of course there were dozens of frantic attempts with blends of time tested magic potions n srk-isms. But as wise men have said that its a genuine idea which sees light of the day, i concealed myself in the virtual world and let my words sketch my persona!!! &lt;br /&gt;BINGO... bulls eye!!!&lt;br /&gt;i got myself an audience willing to hear me out. I have always thought that i am the most patient listener but i was beaten this time and it was time for me to learn that with every little dream to be lived comes a responsibility of life n relationship. That human is a social animal and existence in solitude is impossible. That the worst feeling in any1’s life is of being taken for granted. That ‘giving’ is the real pleasure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read in a Shakespeare’s play that love asked for and received is great but love received without asking for is most selfless and genuine.&lt;br /&gt;This reminds me of a song “….turn around and I’ll b 2 steps behind” .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know reading such things sound nice philosophically but believe me it’s a Herculean task for any mortal being and I salute today to the spirit of SRK which lives and nurtures such difficult human emotions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes a lifetime to love some one but it takes just a moment to yield to your ego and loose entire lifetime ofcompanionship!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7139520914036290245-4979201489442966982?l=ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/feeds/4979201489442966982/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2011/09/to-srk-with-luv.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/4979201489442966982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/4979201489442966982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2011/09/to-srk-with-luv.html' title='To SRK- with Luv'/><author><name>Ri$hi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139520914036290245.post-3937872948922644337</id><published>2011-04-04T03:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-04T04:12:54.699-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Changing Season</title><content type='html'>"Rolling stones dont gather moss" &amp;amp; the in the event of rolling the stone gets rubbed and chizzled into amazing shape/size. Thats the creativity of Mother Nature, each twist n turn brings some intrinsic change in all of us and if we are careful enuf to retain the learning wisdom isnt far. Its ofcourse easy to write n easier enuf to read and appreciate but the true test of times are when the times are testing. At times i feel that the pace of activities around us change speed so frequently that settling in a certain phase and fighting it out dosnt happn, the waves are strong and wild enuf to throw me away on to the shore even before i get familiar to the phase. Some1 once commented that many of us are like Lord Ganeshji, which ever corner or the house He is established He stays there forever. I guess its very much applicable to me , i have a certain rythm in my day-to-day activities and i just love to play by it. Any thing which has a remote possibility of menacing with that rythm is unwelcome. I am a typical 'Time- Table' kinda guy with least deviation and in retrospect i have been like this since the time I can recollect my childhood. I dunno whether its good or bad or whether it calls for a balancing act. I have mostly lived my life King- Size, something which used to be my signature sign off during graduation days. Later i went through a phase of reality check and then the scepter &amp;amp; crown just tumbled down!! No doubt it was painful but I was glad as I felt going through that metamorphosis process to emerge somewhat mature (at least I think so). Making mistakes are the pathways of learnings, but too many are fatal !! I agree I do repent some mistakes which cannot be camouflaged under the tag of immaturity and wish that I can get a chance to undo them but alas the clock cannot be wound backwards. So the only wise option is to be aware of such situations and never to give in to temptations. It feels good to rant away to glory occasionally!! But its time i end this session here itself before letting my thoughts run wild.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7139520914036290245-3937872948922644337?l=ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/feeds/3937872948922644337/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2011/04/changing-season.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/3937872948922644337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/3937872948922644337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2011/04/changing-season.html' title='Changing Season'/><author><name>Ri$hi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139520914036290245.post-5469061102217632795</id><published>2010-11-17T03:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-17T03:48:35.927-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Price of shaking off a nightmare!!</title><content type='html'>It sounds more like a diabolic story right out of a daily soap, but I am actually living it every day.&lt;br /&gt;It was soo disturbing to come to know that one is supposed to pay 2000K to get rid of a nightmare which once appeared like a sweet dream.

Dats why every phase of life passes away with time and depening upon the nature leaves behind memories or scars!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I kind of learnt it the hard way and alwaz took life too seriously making it tough for my ownself and also those around me. I always thought i m very mature and non one knows better than i do. But i was absolutely off the mark and learnt to choose my priorities very late.&lt;br /&gt;Either we can live life as it comes or live life as we want to, but its difficul to decide wat do i actually want???&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Learn frm the past&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;enjoy today&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;look forward to the future&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is to short to be sad and unhappy for stupid reasons, yet life span is too large and can accomodate countless mistakes  /fresh beginings. But then dat doesnt mean that we keep experimenting throughout the life and never reach a happy conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;We mostly  live under a cloud of fear, the outcome of today's action/ decision!! Neither we act nor we decide and end up regretting later. The cloud would alwaz follow us every where and prevent the sunshine in our life, the most impotant but most difficult thing is to stnd up and take matters into our own hands 'coz its our own life.&lt;br /&gt;I have realized concept of happiness is never on sale in malls, nor is it on display at the sea shore. Its within our own self, all it takes is to seek it and nourish it!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its very easy to preach and to pen down philosophy, its equally heculean  to actually walk-the-talk. But to be truthful, i write such things just to re-inforce the same for my own self and make sure that i am still breathing sumwhre down my skin!!!&lt;br /&gt;Good Days ahead!!!&lt;br /&gt;Cheers!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7139520914036290245-7594922787557472991?l=ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/feeds/7594922787557472991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2010/09/this-too-shall-pass.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/7594922787557472991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/7594922787557472991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2010/09/this-too-shall-pass.html' title='&quot;This too shall pass&quot;'/><author><name>Ri$hi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139520914036290245.post-35235200706238333</id><published>2010-08-28T04:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-28T23:07:20.396-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Saare Sapne kahi kho gaye!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;" Saare sapne kahio kho gaye"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;But i m glad dat it is over now (hopefully).

I got to meet my niece and the infant nephew who is just a fornite old and holding him in arms was no doubt a scary thought until di actually put him in my arms and my eyes and throat betrayed me!! I just remembered a friend's advise to always sit on a bed and then hold such an infant for safety but I was standing and was scared a bit!! Raghav was quitely sleeping and the moment he came in my arms he popped open his eyes and  I made some silly sound to pacify him, well he gave me the sweetest and naughtiest smile I have ever seen in my life. Twice he smiled or may be I imagined it as a smile when it wa more of anything else. That was a moment of euphoria and like falling in love with God's beauty which is abundant around us only waiting for us. I had to gather the strength of steel to leave Raghav and a wailing Myra for office just return to mumbai in th evening even without dropping in one last time!!!! Its a whole bag of mixed emotions, and they stir up just too much sometimes,speculations about my own future family,responsibilities combined with joys of family. I have nutured so many tons of dreams since i stepped into boy hood about a family life that living all of them in just "one" single life seems impossible!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7139520914036290245-6694406535385806003?l=ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/feeds/6694406535385806003/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2009/06/short-sweet-and-free-trip.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/6694406535385806003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/6694406535385806003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2009/06/short-sweet-and-free-trip.html' title='A Short, Sweet and free Trip!!'/><author><name>Ri$hi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139520914036290245.post-5910035113344563437</id><published>2009-05-16T19:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-16T19:34:47.350-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Country'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Life'/><title type='text'>The Ides of May-decideth for All</title><content type='html'>"Day of Decisions -for Life"&lt;br /&gt;Months of country wide political and family wide domestic dillema finally took face on 16th May!!&lt;br /&gt;One of the largest democracies stepped forward and joined hands to take a unanimous decision for their own future which is a refreshing change in my coutrymate's philosophy!!! my own life took a giant leap and i crossed the threshold of maturity entering the phase of man-hood from boy-hood!!At the end of the day rejoices &amp;amp; colors marked the sunset with a loud promise of a happy sunrise!!

I would say that such proudy sounding title is sumthing which i always refrain to use always, it just doesnt suite my persona!! All those who have been near to me know me as a shy, soft spoken and probably timid kind of person. I was never short of self esteem but yes i always fell short of self appreciation and confidence. But in the past few months with my new work environ ment and profile, I know I have been able to over come most of my deep rooted fears and complexes!! Its great working in my present organization, I mean here I can sweat it outevery day for hours together and return home to sleep peacefully with a satisfaction of adding my bit of value to the business. I craved for something similar previosuly too but in-vain. The reason I enjoyed my work at my first job at the call center was that at the end of every day i could see a tangible bit of work which i had done and small achievements  during the 9 hours . This quantifiable way of work evaluation worked wonders for my morale boosting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ok, thats enuf of bragging about senti-senti stuff, lets write something more interesting and tangible to read about.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Yesterday i was in another townfor some work assigned to me. The concerned officers were not available and in normal circumstances, I would have checked in to the hotel and gone to sleep gladly. But I took an initiative and pursued my own porfolio of interests which actually  took me all over the place in the organization and i met atleast a dozen of people and did a great ground work. All this did leave me very exhausted but it was a satisfactory one and i was smiling on way to hotel!!I did not know a single person in this office and when I left I knew more than a dozen of related people for my work!! This was the power of confidence I was able to display and just before I stepped in this city I got to know that we have also got a small by opening oreder for the portfolio I am taking care of. Last 48 hours were absolutely hectic and very satisfactory.

Out of the blue he turned towards me and just blurted out " saab koi naukri ya kaam bataeeye"!!! I was taken aback, he was smelling of cheap liquor but not drunk as such. Seeing me quite he told me his story  that he was running a motor parts/mechanic shop and sum one frm his village offered him a job and askd him to come over to mumbai, now this guy borrowd some money from his elder brothr n came to mumbai without his family's consent, and his "friend" just handed his cell to sumone when this guy called who said its a wrong number!! he kept wandering  in mumbai for 3 days and all he cud find was a labor's work, which he declined, when his finances dropped he decided to get a ticket back home!! he was from the place where i spent 4 yrs of my graduation and actually very near to my college!! I tried to counsel him and show him that he has taken an intelligent and corogeous  decision of going back home!! i told him a lot of things to pacify his ripped soul!! The lure of money and glamour which the media reflects about mumbai  attracts crores of similar cases on daily basis!!!I was feeling weak towards his state and feared if he wud ask for money, but then the train arrived and we parted ways to board the same train- i went to the ac coach with  heavy heart nd he fought his way in the general coach!!I wish him better luck in life!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7139520914036290245-5213602435066573794?l=ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/feeds/5213602435066573794/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2009/02/mumbai-makes-breaks-dreams.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/5213602435066573794'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/5213602435066573794'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2009/02/mumbai-makes-breaks-dreams.html' title='Mumbai- Makes &amp; Breaks Dreams!!!'/><author><name>Ri$hi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139520914036290245.post-2372728431844592584</id><published>2009-02-01T01:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-01T01:18:23.029-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chill'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nite'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='frustations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mumbai'/><title type='text'>Mumbai-just before sunrise</title><content type='html'>It wasnt the first time, I have seen mumbai just before sunrise countless times couple of years back, but at time i used to be dead n breathing in the office cab on way home.

Well my frnd is married and has a kid too, his family is away from him, and i long to have a family and both of us quite disillusioned by life were venting our frustations on each other , though i believe none heard the other person's bakwaas!! but it was gud the chilly wind and the dark highway kind of scared us and we promptly returned base to hit our beds under the sheets.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7139520914036290245-2372728431844592584?l=ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/feeds/2372728431844592584/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2009/02/mumbai-just-before-sunrise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/2372728431844592584'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7139520914036290245/posts/default/2372728431844592584'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahotcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2009/02/mumbai-just-before-sunrise.html' title='Mumbai-just before sunrise'/><author><name>Ri$hi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139520914036290245.post-5041594964358075954</id><published>2009-01-29T21:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-29T21:44:50.043-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Terrorism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news paper'/><title type='text'>War on Terror or War between Communities</title><content type='html'>This was a great debate show hosted by Barkha Dutt at Jaipur!!

The plot is quite obvious and Deepika has done the movie just to exploit Akki's charm for her career benefit!! This is my own personal view. Reminds me of Kung-Fu Panda which was a lot better!!

A couple with a baby in mom's lap and another kid holding her dad's finger  boarded the train and sat opposite to me. The baby in lap was a boy and ther other kid was a girl. The girl was sumwhat unhappy about the fact that her baby bro had usurped  their mom's lap and also she was tired and needed her parent's attention. Without intentions her afectionation pats on her brother were quite harsh and ofcourse he wailed loud!! The poor mother cudnt make a decision as to whom to comfort. But pretty soon the girl's irritation vanished with the wind blowing from the window and she was all love and affection for her brother. All this time i was just observing the family's facial expressions and the glee of happiness which was prominent.  I was just wondering about my and my sister's childhood, though i am pretty sure about my parent's balancing act between the us yet there must also have been moments when Di wud have felt  something similar as the little girl did even if for a short while. She is the one who at present is practically holding us all together and she is the one who needs all the care n pampering in the  world. She must be turning plump by the day with Myra running around all chatter-chatter. Di is one great lady whom I kind of discover in different circumstances with different roles to play.
