The 2nd Innings in the City that never SLEEPS comes to an End..:) -Part 2

It is said that : Always remember to slow down in life; live, breathe, and learn; take a look around you whenever you have time and never forget everything and every person that has the least place within your heart.

The Bonding...:)

A smile happens in a flash but its memories last a life time and this was exactly what happened from 16th Aug 2010 in my french classes. New faces, new experiences and a new hopes for me. Sachin was back from Netherlands with Jaani joining CG and old friends reunited. I shiftted to M1 and sat with my friends and suddenly on one of my trips to Delhi which was frequent like going to shopping, I got my next job offer. To tell you the truth, my thoughts towards life have been changing: 9 hrs job is montonous, wanting to do something of my own has started to built its own space !!! Its during this tenure I realised that for people work can be far more important than valuing people but I have never given work such a priority. Learning French from Anupa Ma'm was like one in play school. Will all the jokes shared with Nilesh/Ritik/Abida/Kanchan.Our very romantic Pradeep and lovely comments of Sanhita used to make us stress free. The tea break used to fun with juice the cocum...lol..I hardly know how 3 months passed and my certification day of 15th Nov was knocking the door...Today is 13th Dec -Happy bday Bro. I wanted to be with him but my FFS formalities stop me from this. My sat/sun fun days with Sattu/Purav will always be there in my heart.The bindaas shopping experiences with my chote lal. One thing which I need to mention here, apart from all the friends I have ,I have a Bhullakad friend to add here. We almost every fortnight have had cat fights & will never forget them..;).How can I miss Sachin/Jaani/BIN/Hari :the perfect 4 and people whom I have pakoed the most...:) and the car drives so often...In short  we dont remember days, we remember moments as the richness of our lives has memories as the toppings!!!
Friends, the Leobond might be too philosophical & emotional at this moment but I have always tried to live my life on my own terms & conditions. This stay of mine has made me learn loads of things specially a fighter from loneliness..:)

The new year bekons new hopes & aspirations for all and with 2010 coming to an end, I wish all the very best to all of you in all endeavours .
All's well that ends well & I think nothing can be more beautiful than sharing my thoughts as I move back to my roots!!!!
Cheers to all the memories I have had in Mum..:)

The 2nd Innings in the City that never SLEEPS comes to an End..:) -Part 1

C'est la Vie

They say that life is a sinosoidal wave with crests and troughs & I agree to it : I write to you the crest & troughs of my stay in Mum in two parts. Begining with the Trough part:
It is said that memory is a way of holding on to the things you love,the things you never want to lose; so is my post - a fairy tale of my 8 months stay in Mumbai. It was 4th April 2010 when I was in Mum to join the 2nd company -Capgemini of my career. After settling me Lavi, flew back to Delhi on 4th & the first day when I was all alone in Airoli-a place I never knew. The leobond is very scared of darkness and 4th was the 1st night when I had no one to share dinner with & missed everyone like hell -words cant describe the loneliness!! The next day was Monday & a fasting day and I left home for office. On reaching Vikroli I met Sachin & he told me the shuttle funda here & dropped me to M1. After completing all the formalities I had to call up my -BUDDY as per CG guidelines..hehhee...I was so tired coz of no tea that I wanted to go home and sleep but I knew that I was suppose to greet everyone with a smile which I was hardly able to do ;). The 1st day was over and that was the begining of my 4 months tenure in Airoli. The 2nd day I met my Project manager -too grounded and soft spoken person and all the team members with whom I was suppose to work with. After a weeks work I somehow could sense that this is not what I wanted to do and the journey of dissatisfaction started. Hue /cry and complaints and all the negative vibes gave rise to a new struggle!!! My landlady wanted me to search a new house just after 20 days of my stay & the most dreaded problem of Mum. I felt frustrated as to how will i do that alone but thanks to all my friends in all corners that my search ended soon & I shifted to my new house very soon but all my brokerage money was gone-1st breach of Trust. You know its always better to let go a relationship when it becomes difficult to handle & this is what I was undergoing. Have you ever imagined how it feels to open the lock of your door at 12 midnight and cook and then eat alone- its dreaded & a nightmare!!! Professional life was full of disasters -opinion clash/dislikes and lonelines described me the best but in all the mids of that I was always blessed to have my BRO by my side. I often imagine why a brother is like a magician who waves his magic band and all tensions are gone- the best relationship to have who used to hear me non-stop and motivated me to do something which is my USP -my SMILE..:)..I had lavi & Tutu as a bliss who were virtually around me all the time. It was June which was a happening month for me as my bro was getting married and was the most awaited event of my life..:) With all the odds in my life I was always shown a ray of light in the darkness whenever I felt low and lonely...I thought my bday would will be one such moment but again I was proved wrong and it was one of the happiest ones with both Tom&Jerry in the town. One very important thing to be mentioned here that when on one hand I thought my professional life was totally skrewed up I had people like Saumya/Khitiz Jiju/Gulshan/Vijay  always standing like a pillar and encouraging me that they are there so boss I can burn my hands!! My project was coming to an end so I nominated myself for learninng French and I really did not know that all my dislike for the company would change and vanish soon like a magic..:)...Here begins my journey of CREST & ending the Trough part.....

My chutkus...:)

Sumu di

Buddies cum sis..:)

Zindagi ki Talatum mein humne jab khud ko tanha paya;
Mudke dekha to har shaksh ko begana paya!!!
Tabhi achanak gam ke badlon mein ye kaisa sailab aaya;
Jisne khushiyony ki rah ka darwaza khatkhataya!!!

In the MAKING Of OUTLIERS....

Did the thought of board exams give goosebumps to you in your childhood???....If we look behind, nothing but 10 years back, I am sure we all will agree to it that its standard10th & 12th when we actually dont realise the importance of studies but they are the actual platforms to our future. Most of us dont realise that how important the grades were , either it was because our parents who were after us or because it used to be 'the study season' , so we went with the general mob. Some children tend to be little different and excelled. Did we actually realise that if we dont score 90%, we wont be able to clear the cut off & by the time we did, a lot of tension used to get build up.

Is the scenario the same!!!..I know most of us wont even know what & how the education system in India has drastically changed. It was in 2009, that grading system was introduced and children had a little less pressure on their heads in Class 10th. I wish even we had the same ;)...

Now the question that troubles me is : Why is the range of IQ so varied in the human species? What is the single ingredient in a human which marks one person a Brilliant & the other Mentally retarded. Is it that high IQ leads to making of Outliers!!!

What was different in Bill Gates/Steve Jobs/Beatles/Amitabh Bacchan & millions of others who stand different from others.

This one ingredient is now the pain in the neck of the education system in India becaue competition is more and opportunities are restricted. Do we all agree that the children born in year 2000 or after have a different level of understanding and oppotunities& ammenities than what we had!! A 5 year old child in India now knows how to use laptops but we had not even known what a 'Click' was and a computer looked like...This is the changing face of India and that describes the growth pace...

Thinking about all these thing we can only  conclude that extraordinary achievement is less about talent and more about the opportunities that we create for the' Future of Tomorrow'. Malcolm Gladwell writes that the more you practice your craft–whatever it may be–, the more you create, and the more ideas you come up with, the more likely you are to be successful. This stands a formula in the making of Outliers.
We all are born with average100 IQ (reduces or increases depending upon utilization), it depends on various factors like the upbrining, the values and most importantly the extraordinary opportunities we get that makes one stand 'EXTRAORDINARY' in the mob.

In order to bring such a revolution in the children today who are the building blocks of tomorrow, the Education system introduces something which is called Students Global Aptitude Index (SGAI)  in +2 levels.

SGAI is a battery of Aptitude Tests which also combines Interest profile of a student. It has been customized to suit the Indian context and variety of student population in CBSE affiliated Private, Government and Aided Schools. Unlike the conventional Aptitude Tests, which indicate professional orientations the CBSE SGAI will indicate subject orientations at +2 level. The CBSE SGAI is meant for students of secondary classes. This coincides with the onset of adolescence and beginning of career concepts (although not in the concrete form). It is therefore crucial to give a road map to the child which is realistic and favorable. SGAI is aimed to empower a child with “self knowledge” in terms of the Aptitude and Interest, to enable the child in making informed subjects choices. Since CBSE SGI purports to reduce the mismatch between the Aptitude and the Interest it will further help in :

• Optimizing the child potential and enhance satisfaction
• Increasing motivation
• Reducing wastage of human and financial resources

I am sure this changing facet in the education system in India will lead to the making of OUTLIERS who will help in shaping the future. Einstein had an IQ of 150 but Chris Langan has 170 , but it does not mean that high IQ can lead to winning nobel prize. Genius in one who cashes in opportunities and makes better utilization of them at the right time. Lets all hope that with SGAI getting introduced in 2011 which first hold its pilot tests in few schools in metros, be a stepping stone in the 'MAKING of OUTLIERS'.....

Love - Undefined & Uncertain - Anonymous Syndrome

People say its a lifelong disease and one never wants to get cured after getting infected..:)..Its a topic which is undebated and will always will remain so coz every human has a different feeling and perception to share on it.
Let me call it a disease ;) no human on this earth can escape this disease depending on the age..lol...The leobond does not want to add her own opinion in this post but will only share what people think about it and I am sure readers will agree to it...
Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives meaning to it. There are times when people get infected by this disease at a very small age (teens) and I have seen the heart growing fonder day by day and people giving it a wonderful direction by marrying the same person and living to the promises they had made day one...:)
Lets talk about the symptoms of Falling in Love : The most wonderful and lovely thing about it is you never know when it came , entered you and decided never to leave...There is no WHY & HOW to it.....The person whom you like might exactly be opposite to your personality but you might have a soft corner for him/her coz you know WHY but you cant argue on it...Only your heart knows it....


Its generally in college which tops the statistics where we can see couplingsss...hehehee...I dont know if two people who get along well are actually in Love....The most common and dangerous thing which makes me laugh is that people around you know that you are in Love but you yourself are not sure about it and they say- We are just FRIENDS!!!!....
I still remember when we were in college and the HUM-TUM song -ladki kyun na jane kyun ladko si nahi hoti....& we all had laughed so much about every truth in the song -where on one hand guys are born Bhullakad , gals have a memory plus back-up to remember every thing..;)...I call love as ANONYMOUS Syndrome coz entry not defined and exit no one knows...There are various symptoms to it - I might be rude if I add my own opinion but if one judges such a person , we do all unusual things when in love and will try doing every non-sensical things on this earth saying that we are in love....The Valentine's Day is a live example of all such things.....lol...


Now coming to the bitter part ...Where on one side I see people get whom they desire and give life a new direction but on the other hand have seen people struggle for years to get together. Some even leave hopes, and blame destiny(not their fault at all..and not to hurt anyone)...
Every love directs towards one thing , that's marriage specifically in India. There are times when we marry the person whom we have always wanted to be with but still not happy. Was that actually love?? These are scary but is it that for a future we don't actually know , we should move on and leave the present..Is it that for some reasons since the society is not happy with the decision of our lives, we should move on???...Endless questions but no answers only one thing- I am in love but I don't know the future is all we say...:):)....


I wrote this post today coz I felt the need to spit out my feelings and share it will you all as wherever I go now, I find people infected in their mind, body and soul by this Anonymous Syndrome. To all my friends, K SERA SERA which means What Will Be Will Be, its lucky that you have been infected. Listen to your heart and follow your dreams, rest is actually a destiny decided by God....:):)...So keep falling in LOVE and this ones for all of you in love....:)

Har falsafe mein ek choti si bazm hai...

Aye Dost, meri zindagi tere geeton ki ek nazm hai....

Tu chirag ki roshni hai, to tera saya ek naya savera hai.

Tu samandar ki gehrai hai to tera sath mera kinara hai.

Mera aks tujhse hai , ya meri ruh ka sarmaya hai tu!!!

Aye pakizah , ye tu hai ya teri bandagi, jo diya bankar meri har rah ko roshan karta hai.....

War of Two Cities- I Call it DILMUM ....!!!!

The leobond today writes about one of her favourite analogies drawn between two cities in India : the left ventricle (SAY Delhi) & the right ventricle(Say Mumbai)....I call it the war of cities coz people always have drawn conclusion and comparisons when it cums to DILMUM!!!....I call it the LEFT & RIGHT ventricle of the HEART (INDIA)....To begin with Delhi....Since every city has its own pros & cons -so is wid Delhi...The leobond has spend most of her learning time(Graduation/Post Graduation) in Delhi...The moment you see Kulche/chole/chat/tikki/bhalle...glossy/flashy colours and people flaunting on the size of the car they have(hehheee), u knw you are in Delhi....You hear words like keddi gal!!!..bhaiji....Its Dellhi...The big glasses of Lassi...the autowaala asking Rs 100 for 100 m,hehehee...its Delhi....But one very important think -care and love....
On the other hand Aamchi Mumbai is adversely different-Fast paced life, utter professionalism n bindas attitude of moving on!!!....The leobond started her career from here and I feel proud of that....When you see people running faster than a Rabbit, its Mum....so fast that you need to gear up!!!..

I have met variety of people in my life and all have different opinion about the war of these cities : On one hand where Delhi is bit unsafe at night, one would love the night life of Mum...
Searching a house is one of the most tedious jobs in Mum -u can accomodate 5 in 750 sq feet, whereas in Delhi this space is considered so very claustrophobic!!!
Flashy colours all around increases the Beauty of Delhi and the simplicity of Mum touches your soul....
Punctuality : I guess readers will kill me for this....People are so very relaxed in attitude in Delhi  may be coz of the atmosphere whereas ; Boss aage badho ,Time nahi hai...Jaldi bolo are a few jargons very common in Mum....;);)...
Analogies can be numerous...but after living in both the places no one can deny the fact that the left &; the right ventricle of the heart(India) complement each other with their own charm and one should try to get a flavour of both...coz without any of the ventricle -Heart will STOP Beating....:):)..
Cheers to DILMUM....

Ashton Kutcher - I'll Be There For You

The Festival & the hopes which adds mobility to the pace of life!!!

I wrote this post on 4th Nov but was not able to post it..:)...So today here it goes....

The leobond shares with you the experiences in taking frequest flights from Mumbai -Delhi and vice-versa with a very common but a happening festival for we Indians. Its been like travelling from home to office with me moving from Mumbai - Delhi and so on every month ;most of the time twice.With every journey, the difference that I see is every time the frequency of passengers. The scenario at the airport is every time very different.I always take the early morning flight from Mumbai so that I can reach my family soon in the morning itself.

Today being 4th Nov,2010 a day before Diwali, the airport was tooo crowded as if I was standing at Dadar or can say Virar tsation to board the Local.People surrounded with their children making loads of noises could be seen here and there but there was a smile on everyones's face. I think it was the festival

smile i.e the Pre Diwali special episode, and so was the cause with the Leobond. I was also there for the same cause.

I have always been away from my parents after 12th and rarely have been with them during festivals so I dont leave any opportunity to be with them whenever I get one. Last year all of us were together in Banagalore; this year since Tom(My sweetu bhabhi) is with us , I am going to Delhi, my second home.Festivals in every country have their own importance, this is what I was discussing with someone whom I met very recently in Capgemini CIm team. He is from Netherlands and can talk anything on any topic and has varied in depth knowledge of every second thing on this earth.Yesterday , i too like others was busy decorating the cubicles in my office and was fun ;oh yes and offcourse I missed my almamater my very own TCS and its traditional day where we had to look ultra traditional...and allof us used to be in extra special jolly mood.The rangoli comp/fenz/outings every second thing...The facebook is flooded with wishes, the mailboxes overflowing, the smses here n there, everbody is busy in wishing each other. The offices/houses/restaurants every single place is decorated and every single Indian especiially has been trying to be in Jolly mood.In short, i would say that its only smiles everywhere but for some like Lavi..;)...to be mentioned specifically coz people like him are away from family and country as well and are missing India and I guess that is the reason why a person like me is not fit for any long trip away from the country...Sometime back I had this great desire to go for a long term assignment but soon I realised that a person like me who feels homesick every single moment,who hates the feeling of staying alone is not fit for such assignments...:)...Better i realised it else would have really messed up my life badly.

Coming back to the topic, though got diverted, I wish all of you a very happy and fun filled Diwali...With new hopes and aspirations may every single desire get its final destiny and add to the pace of our very own life's mobility....

Cheers... 

Ye hai meri Kahani!!!!

Time to leave the city which makes life forget all sorrows and teaches to move on in life - the feeling that is penetrating deep in me is what "NEXT"....The flash back reminds me of  the 2nd innings in Mum and this comes straight from my heart:

Zindagi ke is safar mein raste bade tay kiye ,
Kuch kinare tak to kuch manzil tak chod gaye,
Kuch khushiyon ka sailab, to kuch dukhon ka zalzala dikha gaye;

Kuch ne daman tham kar, zindagi ko ek naya mod diya,
To kuch ne soch ki gehri khai mein dhakel diya....

Har mod mein aye Dost!!, humne hanskar aage badhna seekha.
Raston ki takleefon aur manzilon ki kathinayon mein,
Har waqt apne aap ko muskurate dekha.

Ye hai meri kahan, kabhi ladte, kabhi jhagadte;
kabhi khamosh rehke to kabhi dheeme se muskurake;
Har lamhe to aage badhte dekha...

Ye hai meri kahani, meri jubani....

In Search of the Purpose of Ma Vie!!!!

Have I completely lost it!!!...This is what I kept thinking for almost a month....The thought that troubled me a lot and really made me behave like a crazy person was one simple thing - The Purpose of my Life on this Earth??....Has this thought ever troubled you?....Sitting in the bus and travelling to Borivalli, I was just thinking that when I was a kid the thing that mattered me a lot was my Learning Curve-My Goal. I wanted to become an Engineer because that was what my ideal -My Dad was..;)...Then I did MBA coz somehow the Leobond wanted to climb the Management ladder ...After all these studies in all these years my career took off in 2007. I took off as an SAP HCM Consultant-sounds techy and IT Actually IS....I was too content with what I was doing untill I switched to my second job...Suddenly I started thinking a lot that am I on this earth just to sit in front of a Comp- a non living object,waiting for a project and live a monotonous life!!!....I even thought once that may be my not so busy life has made me behave like this but slowly I realized I always had this thought in me and its the time which has given fire to it...Now I see that the cloud is slowly getting cleared and I have started to nurture the dream deep buried inside my heart. I actually dont know whether I will fail/succeed but atleast I am content with the thought that I have started taking steps in the right direction...Leobond thinks that we all human beings may be some point of time have such a feeling of getting lost in this STAGE of Life but what matters is realizing YOURS DREAMS which we see....So Arise/Awake/Introspect and Realize your dreamzzzzzzzz.....:)

The Dilemma!!!

I can't control my destiny, I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be. There's only now, there's only here. Give in to love or live in fear. No other path, no other way. No day but today - read these lines somewhere today while reading the newspaper....Roaming in the Crawford Market today, the Leobond was in a big dilemma whether I actually want to leave Mumbai and go back??.....A place where I started my career, made so many friends and the fast moving life but all comes to a stop when I think of my near and dear ones and as we say "Home is where the heart is"....still the Leobond lives in Dilemma.....Crossing the streets in Colaba, I had only one thought in my mind that I love to roam in these streets so much, love to eat here, eating at naturals and sitting at Marine drive.....Chotu, my dearest shopping partner and I roamed like rats today and after every break I took, my dilemma was again there in my mind. Sitting in the local and as the sweet breeze blows my hair in the air, the Leobond feels that my journey of Life is too frequent in the Mumbai-Delhi way. I always feel connected to this place and the best part is the security and freedom with which we all can move at any point of time..The leobond was bought up in the greenary of Assam and West Bengal so was able to speak Assamese and Bengali more fluently than Hindi.....My parents used to sometimes get worried if I will learn Hindi properly or not...After 12th , I left the land of rising sun and did my graduation from a place totally different from which I was bought up... The NCR as we call it, and spent good 6 years of Grad/PG and only approx 3 years in Mum have made me so connected to this place...I am too excited to see what next lies in the future and where my destiny takes me to and for how long coz one thing is for sure, I cry or smile still my life will never fail to be adventurous at any point of time and always full of little story....So, as and when time updates me with my destiny so will the viewers of this blog with my little story of life which I name it as -Memoirs of LeoBond!!!....

The French Classes!!!!

"I am BUSY" is the buzz word  and Jaldi bolo kya kaam hai waali is fast moving world mein the Leobond is now telling you her favourite part of not so happening work life ;)...Apart from my lovely friends in Mum , the best part were my new FRENCH Classes!!.....I always wanted to learn a new language and when I nominated myself for this, I was pretty sure I wont get to do it because I was told that it was specifically for France Business Unit....But hopesssssssssss....is what we human beings never leave and a person like me whose life is always full of adventures always expects something unusual to happen. The classes were suppose to commence from 16th Aug and 14th noon I go a mail from Learning Deptt saying that my nomination was rejected as seats were full...:(...With a huge sigh I smiled and said to myself -"I think I knew it"....Suddenly I refreshed my inbox and another mail saying "Your Nomination has been Accepted "......I read it and showed my rabbit tooth generally which is there on my face which my Bro usually says....An unexpected but a desire was getting fulfilled...:)...On 16th Aug, it was 9.30 and Room No# 51 was full of 32 odd faces, and a French Teacher -Madame Anupa....We all gave introductions and the reason behind enrolling for this class and the Inception of all weird words coming and hitting the mind which we were slowly suppose to say - It began with Je m'appelle Rekha which means My name is Rekha and the rest is all history. The 3 day classes in a week are the most wonderful moments for me as I feel like a little girl still in school learning alphabets and making mistakes with grammar and sentences...This back to school feeling is really special at one point of time and its during these sessions that I came to know many new people and all of different qualities!!! Its fun to connect with everyone, each one trying to help the other one learn French in a better way...Fun parts is the word -e'coute which in French means to listen and we all make a lot of fun about it by saying saying its Hindi pronunciation...hehheee....Its September and we have learnt to say good lines in French which shows atleast a new additional knowledge of a Country, its culture and the place to this extent...In short, the Leobond is Loving It!!!!!.....

To live after you loose your loved ones in Life!!!!

The year 2010 has showed the Leobond many ups and downs in life but the losses are unbearable. I am talking about my elder Di -Usha Di. She was 12 years elder to me. When in my summer holidays, I used to go to Allahabad, we used to have loads of fun and she used to make me read and learn new things.I was very fond of her. I was 11 years old when on one summer vacation I came to know that she was getting married, and not fully aware of what was happening I was busy in the marriage masti and could never understand the reason behind the sadnes - the sadness which at one point of time all the girls in India undergo, i.e leaving the house of their parents and starting a new life afresh. After marriage I could hardly meet her on my summer holidays and it were only letters which were the medium of communication as there were no mobiles past 9 years. In the due course of time I became the Maasi of two kids and time has moved on. There were ocassions when we used to chat and her love for us still remained the same. This year on Raju bhaiya's wedding, we were so exited about everything. Di used to be there for all the preparations and had spent good time together without knowing that this was the last time I was seeing her as Fate had different plans. Before we said good bye to each other she scolded me and said, bas I wont hear anything now, year end and I should be here attending your marriage. I smiled at her and said 'Jo agya Didi'. Shez no more and the loss is unbearable. Its hard to digest but I have no choice and God has never left options. My own life is not going to b with me and can leave me anytime, how the hell can I trust anyone else and thats the real truth. We live, we struggle but at the end puppets in God's hand and helpless, whenever he wants, he takes away our loved ones from us and like puppets we accept everything and with time the pain reduces.We all know and agree to this fact but since we are Human beings we still EXPECT/LOVE/LIVE/STRUGGLE and the VISCIOUS CYCLE continues!!!!.....

A Boat Without A Rudder!!!!

Every morning I wake up, get ready, go for work ,come home, eat and sleep....What is the purpose of my Life???? I feel as if I am 'A Boat without A rudder'...I am not the only one to feel this, there are many...I have no goals I guess...I mean I don't know exactly what am I expecting - a job change,going back,cribbing on little things because these are the things which make me unhappy but when I see around myself I see no probs at all and think everyday that is this the only reason why I am on this earth??...work ,sleep,eat and thats it....I had to take some printouts and I was away from office,so went to a Cafe near by...As soon as i asked for the system,I got scared as he was mute and he in his own way was trying to show me the system...I kept gazing at the person for a few sec and realized suddenly how foolish I have been at times to behave irrationally when I seriously have no problems at all...:(....I was getting late for my interview and he arranged all the papers so well that i was surprised at the quickness...The smile that he wore was so serene that it made me think n number of times what is the purpose of my life???At this moment I can only understand one thing, that things are hazy but there must be a ray of light which really shows me the meaning of my existence.... Atleast bringing a smile on the face of people around me...I have always admired Bhu & Shreesh for the profession they choose, the Leobond thinks everytime thinking about -I,ME,MYSELF is the limit;may be we should move on....there are very few people who think about others...I am full of over flooding emotions but I seriously think that all my friends, we should all atleast have one good cause in our lives to live for apart from work(I),home(ME/MYSELF). I am sure I will figure out where my RUDDER very soon....:):)....

The Unexpected Bday Surprises!!!!

We all have heard dis saying in Hindi -'Bin mange Moti mile, mange mile na bheekh'...I would say God really made my day...Every year on 7th aug, the Leobond gets older by a year and its a huge celebration 4r her with d loved ones.....This year I had thot, it would be the worst one but the unexpected things all happened one after the other and made dis bday tooooooooooooooo special....It was 6th aug in the evening when I called my Mom and she was asking me as to how was I going to spend my day tomorrow?..I was too sad but as usual like a grown up daughter ,i never wanted to trouble her...so I just said I would enjoy....:(....At 8.30 night the door bell rang and o my surprise I saw my Papaz handwriting on the Parcel which said-"To Munia"....From all of us......Tears rolled off and you know these little things make me more emotional...At 11.00,I thought i would go and sleep but as the clock stuck 11.30, I had surprise guests...Friendsssssssssss!!!!!Had awesum time with dem and thanked God 4r really taking care of me....I was tooooooooooooo happy that bhaiya -bhabhi were cuming To Mum....Tom (This is what I call my bhabhi) was cuming to Mum 4r d 1st time.....I woke up at 8 and suddenly there was  sum1 over the fone...Btw have u ever been scolded by anyone on your bday???Hmmnnn ...this bday ye bhi hua and all tks to my BUDDY...Mr.Bhullakad did not giv his number when he went 4r a tour, called on 6th to wish me and scolds me as to Y i was being silly...Anywaz I felt too guilty to bhaved in an immatured fashion coz he was right but sumtimes U knw hez RUDE...;)...Doesnt matter friendz have d right to be!!!...After sorting the matter the door bell rang again and my LOVEBIRDS were there....I couldnt have asked 4r sumthing more than dis....The masti had  begunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......We watched movie in the afternun and were there 4r d Party @ nite where I met all my TCSersssssssssssssssss after a longggggggg time together....Sumi di/Jiju/akshu/Tia;Dha/jiju;chin/Sid;Purvi/Sattu;Raju/Sheetal;Pinky/Polo;Krishna/Sreenu;Chots/Reet.............I saw alllllllllllllll of them after such a longggggggggg time....lovebirds tuk care of evrything and I thorouhly njoyeddddddddddd.....As the day was getting over,I had only one thot in my mind-I wish Lavi n Tutu could b hereeeeee.....and thankd God 4r making my day so Special....:)....In short, when we dont expect anything,the UNexpected brings Smile on your face and makes your day...Tks God..:):)......

A thought which dwells deep when I feel low..

Everyday when you come to the office, you can find your inbox flooded with emails, some forwards really boost your mind and acts like a trigger when you are actually feeling low...So I just thought of sharing it with everyone...
There may be Troubles
There may be Challenges
There may be storms too....
But, listen to yourself
Be free for you are free
Follow what your heart desires...
Forgive Yourself for the mistakes you have made,
Forgive others for hurting your heart,
For the things of past ,
You must be part....
If you do not ,
the present will suffer,
& the future will never START!!!!...

I am sure some thoughts do make a difference in our lives....:):)

The Irony in missing someone......

People say with distances, memories fade out. We all must have experienced this lot many times in our life. We meet people, keep in touch but suddenly loose touch....Thats how everything moves in life-we meet, we remember or forget. I think all this is too philosophical, coming to the point - You have n number of friends in life but only few who are there till the end - I am talking about Lavi, the 6ft 2" guy damn grounded to earth and always wears a smile on his face. The Leobond is too emotional to many times understand what is right and what is wrong, fights with her closed near and dear ones...One such person in my life is Lavi. He felt for Chicago on Saturday -17th July,2010, I had never felt that this time when I will dial his number , I will alwaz get a switched off message and talking will be so damn difficult.On 17th July 2010 @ 6 LeoBond and her friends were having gala time at the IGI international Airport as if we were celebrating someone's bday -but we were there to see off lavi. As the night was approaching , my smile started fading....Bhaiya - bhabhi soon were there and we all enjoyed sipping coffee there. Tuts n Saurav were busy giving advices hehee as usual. As the clock struck 10, it was time to say goodbye and he left...Thinking about someone and not able to talk to that person is the irony and really makes you understand the importance of the person in your life....:)I am sure we all believe that TIME IS THE BEST HEALER but when you miss someone, the whole world seems depopulated..Isnt it??

Whats on my MIND -The Countdown that disturbs or the flow of EMOTIONS!!!

The title itself suggests many things-many thoughts,ideas,emotions flowing like a river from top to bottom in me...Two most important things- One that my 1st bday when I would be so lonely and secondly I am currently reading a novel which has left me speechless!!! The project that I was working for is OVER!! and Tutu reminds me that the LEOBOND is soon going to grow little older next month...A fresh year for me with my bday....New Hopes;new aspirations;dreamzzzzzzz..dats is!!!...Nooooooooooo not exactly , infact the first one without my closed ones!!!! Was this destined or I made way for it does not matter but the fact remains the same that this special day 4r me is going to be lil lonely without Lavi & Tutu as they have always been with me.....But when I look at it practically, I find tat all those things the Leobond has hated to do since childhood, God has forced her to do that..Examples can be many-I never liked to eat Upma,Thanda khana is not mu cup of tea and the important ones like EATING ALONE..STAYING QUIET for a long time,BEING ALONE and i guess I am not the only one who does not like it coz we all are human beings who suffer from EMOTIONZZZZZZZZZZ SYNDROME which makes life miserable.....Anywas I think thats destiny and it has to happen so its better I be happy and accept whatever comes my way...Now coming on to the book I am reading----APARAJITA by BIBHUTIBHUSHAN BANDOPADHYAY....the writer of PATHER PANCHALI...I would say that he's the INDIAN SHAKESPEARE!!!! The beauty of this novel resides in the simplicity of this book and the time which it takes us to....The story is a sequel to Pather Panchali and APURBO if you people have seen or read the 1st one...The natural beauty that describes the surrounding, the flow in the story,the spirit to fight back any situation.the reaction compels us to move into the character and understand the character well...The ultimate message that it conveys  is fighting back in every situation and moving with the flow of life enjoying every moment of it!!! Thats what the LEOBOND is trying to learbn in her MUMBAI PART 2 journey....So with my new year begining this August, I seek the path of more happiness & blessing from all..:):)...One more thing with the begining of this month as FRIENDSHIP DAY(1st August), may this begining bring loads of joy and togetherness.. (Cheers to all my friends!!!).....

The SIZE of Human EGO!!!

Ego is the immediate dictate of human consciousness. When this leaps in to the soul quietly it usually destroys the capabilty to distinguish between and opinion and decision. In my small encounter with people arond me, I have experienced very close relationships come to fullstop just because of 'EGO". The Leobond fails to understand why nobody thinks even once that it takes ages to make bonds and seconds to bury them. In this small interval of life on earth, why waste time in arguing upon things which hurt someone. Is it so difficult to bring smile on someone's face??Are we becoming so cruel in nature or are we all approaching towards that extent of cruelity.Is no person on tis earth guileless??Are we all prisoners of our own so called created ego...Does hurting others give that immense pleasure ??I know that all humans can never be alike and we can never possess similar traits ,i.e there is a variation in our opinion in deciding what is good and what is bad...But still cant we all make little sincere efforts from all our ends and decide not to hurt anyone by our so called blown up EGO....Saying SORRY is a prestige issue nowadays...Donno since when we humans-the so called social animals have suddenly turned into ANIMALS!!!!....I know the Leobond might sound too philosophical in this post but fact will change that the root cause of all frustrations...Lets stop being hooligans and make this place a beautiful place to live...Live and Let live-lets make our souls EGOFREE and join hands to spread as many smileys as we can.....

"The Stranger's Phobia"

The faces in the crowd which we daily come across, some known, some resembling known faces and others totally peculiar. Even If I know someone, they behave as strangers. Have you ever come across a situation when you need to meet someone and you feel nervous and your stomach starts aching…hehehee..This feeling is natural when we were kids and many used to say before the exams they used to have such a feeling…For me this feeling comes when I go to a new place or have to meet new people. My face is too transparent to resemble my expressions and feelings, no matter how much I try hiding them; they are but obvious on my face. One such evening it was late at night, 10.45 p.m or so, standing at the bus stop , waiting for my 522-Marol Agar bus, I saw that there was no bus coming. It suddenly started to rain in a short while and suddenly the size of the rain drops started increasing and the drops turned into shower. The shower increased the fear of not getting a bus, the number of strangers started increasing on the stop and the smile on the face vanished. I prayed to God, please send a bus so that I could reach home and had decided whichever bus comes, I will go. Suddenly I saw a bus which read 500-Vikroli Agar, I did not even think once and rode the bus that wherever it takes me, it will atleast drop me till Vikroli..With no second thoughts in mind, I asked the bus conductor that which was the nearest station to Bhandup, and to my surprise he said-Bhandup Police Station. As I took the ticket, tears started to roll off my eyes and I felt –God Is Great!! Today while sitting at M4, waiting for someone, I have the same feeling. All strange faces moving right to left and I am waiting , and as usual my transparent face is telling all the stories…hehehe…The canteen was full of such faces , the floor on which I am sitting everything..One to all except 4r One. Sometimes I miss Tutu during such situations coz she will always say –Deep Breathing Rekha and all the “Strangers Phobia” vanishes to some extent. I usually imagine that does every one has this kind of felling or its me who experiences this when in such situations!! If people do, how are such situation tackled and his stranger’s phobia taken care of?? Is it really difficult to avoid such situations?

My Broz Wedding-Phase 2

“You don't marry someone you can live with, you marry the person who you cannot live without.” Thats what marriage is all about and in an Indian family marriage has various components - huge family gatherings/relatives all pouring in before 15days, loads of sweets, screaming /shouting/dancing etc etc....The scene in Leobond's house was no different. The most important thing that I felt was for the first time in life my Mum had no time for me..heehheee but that was very natural and also she was the busiest person who had no idea what she was eating and drinking. TILAK in north India is a small ritual wherein both the family along with loads of friends meet to hook and book the guy for marriage ;)....In short bakra halal hone se pehle ki taiyari...First time in his life, my bro felt a little nervous and I could see that in his eyes. He was realizing that soon he will no longer be SINGLE but will enter a different phase in life and will have a better half who will be there with her all through & this is what we believe...The party went off well and by the way I missed something very important...My dear Tutu & Aunty came to Allahabad after good long years & I was happy to see her around..As usual the gals were looking stunning...hehehe...and after the party we reaced home too late and too tired but still we had to sing and dance :(:(....Suddenly at 2oclock at night I felt as if my heart was sinking which resulted in food posioning!!! Too pathetic situation as next day was Ladies Sangeet and all the arrangements had to be done...All plans came to stand still and I felt too bad...After two drips I started feeling better in the evening and all set for Ladies Sangeet. On the eve of Sangeet, all arrangements were done and the time for fun and frolic. The floor was on fire with everyone dancing to the tunes of film/folk songs making me realize that -'THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA'...heheee....The mehendiwala was there till 5 a.m and we all were struggling with sleep so that he could draw nice designs on our hands....Finally it was morning and the day for WEDDING....Everyone is busy with work but two very imporant things which I would like to mention - the difference in scenarios at the groom/brides homes. At one hand where everyone was busy plus happy in the grooms house, the scenario in the bride's house is equally opposite and it has to be... It the day when a girl leaves the house where she learns to walk/talk/read...Every single thing in her room starts pinching her coz she has to spend the rest of her life with someone who will in future be her life....Mum says its a natural phenomenon and we cant avoid, the Leobond agrees to it but the very thought that how different the scenarios are makes me too emotional....Anywaz the WEDDING will be described in next post....To be contd.....

My Broz Wedding - Phase 1

Rightly said by Chetan Bhagat that an Indian marriage is not a marriage of bride and groom but two families/culture/custom etc. One of the most important events in the life of Indians - Marriage. With even a single kilometer difference the customs change. Leobond in this post decribes one such wedding. Its raining cats and dogs in Mumbai, as we say they are tooooo special...I had to collect the groomz SHERVANI and rains were non-stop. I ran to the shop early morning all set, bags packed for the wedding!!!One more thing, finally my bhullakad buddy decided to accept the token I bought for him....Now after finishing work I reached home too late that day and was bed like a dead soul. Early morning I was ready to leave for the airport, very sceptical in mind that te flite does not get delayed coz of rains!!! I was happy coz I had to meet Tutu...I was sad coz it was for the first time in history that Lavi not not there in the airport when my flite landed...I was missing all the masti which I used to do...Thankfully the flite was on time and i slept all through the journey!!! As soon as I landed in Delhi, I took a cab and straight went to Tuts office to pick her up so that we all could have lunch together...Maa was waiting for us and guess wat------KHEER !!! Thats wat the Leobond is very fond of!!! When I saw Tuts, I was happy and the moment I crossed my 1st coy, I had the same feeling of belongingness which I never developed with CAP...After eating , i rushed to the station coz the wedding was at my ancestral place Allahabad. I was waiting at the station and so thrilled to meet my wholeeeeeeeeeeeeee family after such a long time...I was waiting 4r 12 midnite coz dat is when I was about to reach allahabad. The train journey was  soo soo..as usual like a chatter box I was friends with all...Wen Allahabad arrived, I was thrilled when I heard my Bro shout"Bitti"- thats what everyone calls Leobond at home...Allahabad as we call it -THE SANGAM CITY, is a place very different from Mumbai ,Delhi ..i mean the metros...Life still there follows its own pace, people still there spend 2-3 hours at the chai tapri,read newspaper for an hour to start their day..In short a nice peacful life ....Oh coming back  to the point, Surprisingly, bro and sis were wearing the same coloured Tzzzzzzzzzzz.....hehehhhee... When I searched home I saw all my cousins.... badi mummy and all of them awake and was very happy to see the.... One important member who needs introduction here is -DIESEL....this is wat everyone calls the lady in early 40's ...with a cute smile on her face which was so serene that I felt that this world also has such people...I shouted and chatted with all and the house was full on with me screaming here and there in my shrilling voice and finally got to sleep with my mom after say ages...hehehe...The Leobond dies to live such moments when i can lie on my mumz arms and sleep....The next morning when I woke up I knew that the coming days are going to be very hectic...It was 18th - the day of Upnayan in Brahmins....a ritual which gives the guz a real license of being a brahmin...hehehee...I was busy deciding the menu for al the coming days in the house...Oh forgot to mention about my cutest Chutke NISHTHA(Madhoo)...Nishtha & I are neighbours in Allhabad but more like sisters-the most important thing between us is that we shhare the same bday-7th AUG ...so in short Leobond Junior...hehheee..We share all common traits....After the upnayan got over, I was supposed to acompany Papa to MILAN palace ...the venue for other function plus wedding in Allahabad...I met Vibhu/Alok bhaiya -the Kanya Party and decided the menu for TILAK & Wedding...Finally when I came home it was 11 and the dance practice session for ladies sangeet started....With few steps here and there we decided that we were horrible when it came to dancing still we did not decide to drop the idea...hehehehe....With this phase 1 ends...more in the next phases to come...To be Contd....

Marriage : We all want Admission in this Institution!!!

We have been hearing from our elders that life is divided into phases and so we should enjoy each and every phase. Now this is going to be a thought provoking because we really dont know what triggers the Admission in this admssion- 'The Eligibilty Criteria'. The criteria for admisssion in Schools/Colleges is known to all but this Institution of Marriage is a bit risky because its the question of spending our life with someone who is sometimes known and sometimes unknown to you. It like playing a gamble with your life that too with so much fun and frolic. As the Leobond moves on in life, I see myself growing , there is one major event in my life -My bro's Wedding. He's elder to me-have learnt to walk holding his fingers..:):)...Have done so many mischiefs to trouble mamma...Have been sad when he got a bigger chocolate than me in childhood, have got angry when I was scolded and he wasnt!!...hehehee Always forgetting the fact that hez the one I shall rely on him for the rest of my life...My life revolves around my big bro and remembering each and every moment of fights/anger/arguements since childhood I feel too emotional. All my maths problems were taught by him;physics was made so easy for me; not scolding me even he knew that I was throwing milk in the sink everyday...Waiting for him to come back from college and smiling at him when caught doing eny mischief. When Mamma used to get angry, I used to hide behind him expecting that he would save me. I used to sit behind his bicycle when he used to ride one. When he calls me -"My Laddoo", i cant stop giving the huge close up smile. Rakhi always has been close to heart, into that lifeof mine, I want my BAU to take admission in this new Institution and move into the next phase of his life. My idea of Perfect Couple are my -PAPA -MAA, as usual for all kids its their parents!!! After them I see my cute lil Lovebirds -Bau & Golu(Bhabhi) as the one who are full of love and sweetness..The Leobond is learning to understand that "Marriage " is an important institution and a huge admission fee of emotions is required. 23rd June is the wedding date and a very special day of my life...Three Cheers to the new Couple...:):)

Something which we can never Conquer -Death!!!

We all are born on this earth and pass through various phases in life which fills us with all kind of emotions-sad/joy/....We are happy when our dreams-can be short term or long term( and as usual our desires never die out) are fulfilled. The Leobond is no different. But right from the childhood we are taught some values which we need to follow in order to become a good human being. 'We should never cheat', 'Honesty is teh best policy' etc but have we ever imagined we all do our duties respective to set criterion defined by NOONE!!!All of a sudden one family member leaves us and we all mourn foe him knowing that we will never be able to be with that person..The only thing we have is 'MEMORIES' which fade with TIME!!! When we all know the end, why do we get sad with materialistic things like -Not getting promotion,exams mein good marks nahi aaye...The Leobond thinks -We all should face challenges in life, WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE....Being content with what we have never behave like COWARDS....We all live for ourselevs but we should try and take out little time from the short span of our tenure on this beautiful planet EARTH and bring smile on others face....Coz whatever be the reason....We all will have an end which is the ULTIMATE truth....So ....lets all wake up...stop cribbing and live happily with small small dreams anddddddddddddd try bring a smile on others face by the way we can!!!!

Cheers
Leobond

The SHUTTLE....

I had never thought that this time when I will be back to Mum the word 'shuttle' is where my whole life will revolve. Although I have alwaz loved travelling, meeting new peole ,observing them is fun. The leobond starts her day with a shuttle ride to her office. Everyday my shuttle passes from all offices in Cap but the best part veryday the view is very new for me. I reach a bit early and wait for my shuttle to arrive at 11.15 a.m. Till it arrives I watch people passing by-some are in a hurry, some wiping the sweat and most of them over the fone...As soon as the shuttle arrives, the Leobond takes the first seat..open the book she is reading current till the shuttle starts..As soon as the shuttle starts, the little breeze wipes the sweat on your face and makes you feel relaxed and lazy. It fun to see the outside world sitting in a shuttle where everyone is running after something...The shuttle enters the Godrej complex and people start pouring in and so the seats start getting occupied. I usually see people putting on their head fones and listening to music.The question which really troubles me is: Is the journey so long?...You know that the person sitting beside you works for the same company as you do but we tend to behave like strangers...The best part is that even I have started behaving like this But today I broke my silence. The girl who sat beside me today works on the same floor as I do and she comes in the same shuttle in which I came and we see each other everyday. But today was different!!! I heard her talking to someone and saying thanks for the wishes...I knew it was her birthday so couldnt stop myself from wishing her coz thats how the Leobond is...In my opinion wishes always bless us. I finally broke my silence and broke the 'Stranger Relationship' to a known one...A face in the crowd is no more unkown!!!...Thats what life is all about...'Smile & the whole world will smile back to you'......

Game of the Warriors!!!

Aaj ho jaye thodi professional batein....The  leobond works in ERP Technology and would like to share her small small experiences....By the way...Work in every sense is important to all coz that is one's bread and butter and that is what we are living on this earth for....You know but my professional experiences are absolutely different..Like every student even I had some dreams when I was in school...Was a bit studious...doston ko lagtha tha ghumti hi nahi ...kahin jaati hi nahi...when I reached college still us kide ne saath nahi choda and that paved way to something that was a dream called MBA...U know I dont know why we are know that we are very selfish and our dreams keep changing still -Who stops Dreaming!!!...Luckily through MBA and that was the place where I got facinated with something which is termed as ERP now and then I decided that karungi to SAP mein hi kaam and point to be noted SAP ka 'S' bhi nahi pata tha...Chalo by God's grace wo bhi mil gaya and TCS gave me this oppty and I am really thankful to my firs company for this...I was happy the way professional life took off!!!But here comes the real story..The leobond did not know that SAP is like MATHS-the more different kinds of numericals you solve the better you become...The current scenario-As soon as I am in office the word -ISSUE is what I am married to...heheee....The day starts with an issue and ends with it forming a viscious circle!!!...I see all of them here and there asking each other - 'Arre yaar wo tera issue solve hua kya'....And as soon as one resolves he/she shouts as if India has won the cricket match against Pakistan and last ball pe sixer laga!!!....Anyways but I would call SAP as the Game of warriors!!!....Everyday in the morning when emails are overloaded there are forums which make the day by being the CUSTOMER SERVICE CENRES!!!..Each day a new thread is posted and the day passes searching such treads ki shayad kahin kisi ko pata ho ISSUE ka solution....hehehee

U & I : Do we actually have a story to say...

Hey...Everyday, we cross n number of people. Some we remember, some we forget...Some last forever, some for a min and some do not exist. The Leobond personally believes that people we meet, and if we keep on meeting them again must have a story with a begining & end. The end might be good which takes the relationship to the next level or ends at a bad note. There are numerous examples in our day to day life which can make us think whats stored for future!!I like to travel to many places time to time. I have many such short stories to tell. When I was in college , since my parents used to stay in Assam ,I used to travel alone to Assam by Rajdhani and the journey used to be two days long. You just cant keep mum and pass two days so I was used to talking to strangers and making friends and during this time I realised that we all actually have a story to say for everyone we meet. I just cannot forget my "Train to Hyderabad "journey whre I was going along with Tutu for MBA interview. In my compartment I met people who got admission in the same college as I did...So the journey started with a Train and the friendship story began...I am sure just like the Leobond, we all have short n crispy joyful or sorrow u decide, stories to say....

The Change which is Constant!!!

We often hear people say that "Life moves on"-Nothing is constant ....etc but one thing is for sure Change is constant!!...I mean to say change will always be there and memories will always fade in;fade out....Today is a big day for my family-bhaiya is a full fleged Doc now-Bada waala doctor-hehehe....I met my sweet heart bhabhi yesterday...Delhi is always fun with all the old friends...I see Leobond growing each and everyday and maturing in thought and action..In a few months things are constantly changing...everyday has been a new moment for me as I meet new people and new endeavor....There are few things in life which remind you of loads of pain and grief...but some years later you tend to forget everything but the pain still pinches....Leobond does not know what future stores for her but she knows one thing whatever come in life she will be strong and firm on her decisions....In Mumbai, I seriously miss few people a lot apart from my family-Lavi & Tutu....Life is full of joy with them...Have never stayed far away from them for a long time but this is again CHANGING...:(...I think loads of Change n changes mentioned...Its time to shut down my store of writing...one little thing - " Abke to bichde to kitabon mein milen, jaise sukhe hue fool kitabon mein mile"...

Nomadic Leobond!!!

People say that life moves on with time...But the Leobond believes, in Mumbai, life moves on with travel...hehhee..I was born in Allahabad, brought up in West Bengal/Assam;studied in Delhi/NCR and working in Mumbai....The leobond in short loves to travel and life is really taken me to many places and I love to meet new people....Life should be adventurous not monotonous....It is usually said that a person's first job is very close to their heart so it is the same for me...I still remember my joining office in TCS Thane...Then I got shifted to Andheri the very next day and two years of my life in Mumbai was fun travelling in autos...Alas!!!I never knew any bus number...not even trying to see...That really bad and here I would like to mention that the leobond is very bad with navigation-infact tooooooooooo poor....Since I am back to Mumbai, but this time a different part-my office is in Navi Mumbai so I need to travel everyday a lot which I really love to...But the worst part when I am coming back I can never properly locate my house :( :(....Yesterday was pathetic ...I took a bus ticket 4r one location and reached the other and the bus conductor did not even say anything :(:(....Everyday the autowaala (a new one offcourse) laughs and must be thinking what a Passenger!!!....Travelling is fun...One thing which I dont understand, how can people put their headfones on when de just need to travel for even 20 mins....There is so much to see outside and everyday I guess is a new experience...new people...but its fun....:)..:)...

Do we really believe in First Impressions!!!

In our life, we meet so many people...some we forget ...some we remember....When we meet someone many of us become judgmental...Does this happen with the Leobond also???I guess no....When it comes to people of my age I think we all might be good or bad...Every human being on this earth is the same with 206 bones,2 ears, one mouth...etc etc...Its the quality in us which makes us good or bad.....I get hurt when some yells on me and become happy when someone praises me...Its the same with all of us...We are the same and it hardly matters... We all get one life ...coz punar janam concept I donno...Its important to make others happy rather than being selfish...Such one type of person I met yesterday....A person whoo with  takes life as it comes and believes in helping with open arms...That is what makes him great in my eyes...I admire every such human being on this earth with their little smile bring smile on other sad faces... The Leobond wants to learn this art as she is growing up coz I believe in "Live & let Live" but with a sweet SMILE...:):)....

So fas so Good.....

7th May really proved to be a good day for...After coming to Mumbai,this was the first day when I was tension free and I actually feel -Allz well that ends well...I shifted to my new house...The most important thing was the landlady settling down things smoothly...I cant really express in words how homesick and lonely i felt in this one month and realised how much I wanted my Mom to be here....Alas!!! somethings are fated and I believe that nomatter how strong we all pretend to be ,at the back of our minds we are all too weak to handle everything in a new environment...Office was as usual a bit more hectic and thankfully did not have a fight with anyone ...hehhee.... I was back to Bandra with my pal...I was happy to be with her coz i know she will go back soon to Delhi soon...One more thing, my BUDDY is no longer angry with me so no more guilty feelings...hehhee...Its a too hot morning to write all this...Haven't planned anything for the day....Offcourse movies and shopping are there on the list!!! Had lovely chicken last night ...

Defeat of truth and trust in this nonsensical society....

Satyamec Jayate holds no value in today's world...Incidences in life keep provong this. I blame myself responsible for all this...But somehow I feel too helpless....Let the leobond describe why she feels so defeated....
INCIDENCE :
I rented a house in Airoli, my friend had searched that for me. Here in Mumbai, need to pay huge deposit & brokerage to the person who acts as a mediator for geting the house rented and deal closed between the landlord and the tenant.
As per the agreement on stamp paper I paid a brokerage of XX amount and got the house. In order to vacate the house, a notice of 1 month should be given prior to vacating the house. after 15 days, the landlady calls and says she wants me to vacate the house and I am shelterless again...The broker's contact are lost...He does not even bother to answer the call. In such a circumstance my brokerage has gone waste & I am homeless. My situation is no less than a defeated warrior at this point because I cannot fight back this injustice..I feel defeated coz I am unable to fight for my own cause and my own hard earned moner and on top of that the landlady tells me that if she is suppose to take out my brokerage from my brokers pockets...
Bravo!!!....Wow I am so damn helpless!!! Want to do something for myself and fight this back so that noone has the right to cheat anyone in near future but I am left alone!!!....

My inner concience tells me to fight but am I really so helpless!!!!!....

Night at the Airport.....

Hey....weekends are more hectic than weekdaz in mumbai....Life runs faster than your pace and you are running after something you dont know...me and my friends went to the airport...I was hungry when i left office...Was in my own thots...I tuk a bus...Marrol Dep-422...wow now i know all this!!! and the ride was lovely with a beautiful breeze reminding me the old memories...at one momemt i was happy and on the other i had tears in my eyes....Life is full of such emotions I guess....A packet of GEMS...Everytime the colour changes....I got down at SEEPZ after an hour...Was tooo hungry to anything else apart from eating...Dat too GOLGAPPASS...I think I am desperate for them...hehhehe...Anywaz I had one plate golgappas... and went to the airport straight away...Ah I sat there to tired...legs aching too badly....Suddenly my friends came and I saw the lovely IDLI.COM as they call it..Ginger & Lemon - drink we ordered -too horrible in taste...had sumthing in snacks...Too tired...saw here and there ...The flights were running very late...so very table had one or the other person sleeping on the table....It was 11.40 i guess when bhaiya arrived and we went back...I lied on the bed as soon as I reache dhome like a dead man....But thats the sleep I was terribly looking for....:).....

My Fav....Which boosts me up whenever I feel dejected demotivated....

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high


Where knowledge is free

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments

By narrow domestic walls

Where words come out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

Where the mind is led forward by thee

Into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
 
This is inspiring & fills the heart with a desire to something for the blissful life we have been opportuned to!!!

Just another Day....

Today my best pal was there for me...I felt less lonely today....She made tea and we had a nice time...We both met our old friends after a very long time yesterday night.. Oh !!! I forgot to write about my small and little freinds all around me...The LeoBond is actually very emotinal by nature...makes friends easily and shows little tantrums as and when she can like all Leogals!!!!....Actually that cums for free with all leos...They are  tuned and programmed to be such but never try hurting someone...It is simple to impress them but never be shrewed to them...I am just another human being but "I dream not to die being Just Another Human Being"....Want to do something right for once in my life which helps others also...The leobond never likes to stay at one place forever...she likes to travel but this time her bestest friend - "Shivji" is troubling her alot...May be this is what i describe as LIFE....We all learn to struggle coz that is how we all become very strong and learn ho wto fight every thing that comes in my way.My father always tells me that you should never be a coward running away from wthat ever you do...Have pride in watever you do..Thats the Leobond!!!..Mo mom is very simple by nature, always supportive...The biggest pillar for me is my bro....I have 3 important people in my life whom i value after my parents...My bro...Lavi N Tutu....There is one more person who is slowly getting added to this list...Thats my Bhabhi....Golu Singh ...hahahaa...thats what I call her....Its just another day but so many things to share...Today bhabhs is taking admission in MDS...a new begining for her in life...Office is as usual boring....Dont want to come here...But I have no other choice....

Today was a hectic day....

The leobond is busy hunting for a shelter...She goes here and there but no place seems to have given the comfor that I am looking for. Aaj ka lunch was kamal ka...Had custard after a long time...Was really wanting to have one afte along time. I came back late...My best pal was cuming down to my house...were suppose to have a get together...The night is slowly starting n sleep has started making its own pace...Really tired ....One more thing...I dont like to bang the fone on anyone..I did this which my BUDDY did not like...I felt very guilty....But then he became busy and did not let me know about it....Later he said he was busy and I was fine..So a happpy ending....

The leobond enters a new professional Life....

I have joined a new job. I am back to the place where i was already staying but the area is very new to me. I have stayed in Mumbai before but this time its part of Navi Mumbai. i have always loved Mumbai for the pace it holds for life.Alwaz moving...Will help you forget everything that you want to remember...Life is like a flowing river..A new place,altogether new people. I miss my old friends but I think the Leobond, thats what I call myself....is growing up...When I say growing up ...it means new chapters of learnings....Am I really thinking the same??...I dont know...One thing is for sure that I am little imbalanced now...The grief that has deep down entered me knocks the door of my heart everyday...I am searching for anwers which hold no value for me because I know things will never change... Even if they do...I am not going to accept them...What am I expecting them?...I really dont know the answers of the questions that i just wrote.....Its 9 p.m now and my shift is about to finish...I am penning down my thoughts because I dont want to be a coward who is running away from the very fact of life that its a sinosidal wave with crests & troughs.This is the crest phase & I need to perform at this phase also!!!...
