<div>
This weekend we have decided to visit National Rail museum, New Delhi with family. It was a good choice. I could not get much of the pictures to share because my son was running here and there and me & my husband were busy catching him but one is here for you. It was small break from our busy schedule.</div>
<div>
<br />
Everything else is fine nothing much to say, do keep in touch. Belated Good Friday & Happy Easter to all.</div>

Hi Readers,<br />
<br />
I know it's been long we haven't met (!?!), I must tell you I was trying to work on my another blog on wordpress. I thought it would be a good idea but I was wrong. I think I am happy here and will continue here only.<br />
<br />
So, summers are here and its quite hot outside during day time, here is one of the picture of place nearby me.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your Summer & Stay COOL.<br />
<br />
Missing you already.<br />

I sleep at 3 in the morning and wake up at 7. I do study for least 3 hours in the night and still I could not make it to clear my exams. This December I am appearing again for the exam and I am hoping for the best.<br />
<br />
How is life? well it's really very tough right now. It takes lots of effort for me and my husband as well to keep it moving. House, office, child, study what else I can manage. Life has changed me a lot, I never thought I am able to manage all these at the same time and still feel happy about it. Don't worry I am doing good.<br />
<br />
I believe that suffering and difficulties help us to grow, it makes us stronger. I believe that one day I will make it and till then I will not stop.<br />
<br />
Pry for me that I could make it through this time. I will write to you as soon as I will get a time.<br />

Year 2016 is finally about to end. I hope all of us could spare some beautiful moment from this year. Here are some of mine. I would love to know about yours too.<br />
<br />
All these pictures are from my one week family trip to Malaysia, specifically Langkawi.<br />
<br />
Before I go I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.<br />

How are you all doing so far? I am hoping all is going well and praying for you all.<br><br>I am doing good with my life. Last time when I was writing I was about to get married and look where I am today. I have a family now, last year I was blessed with a baby.<br><br>Life is occupied with lots of things, so much to do and of course there is always less time. I don't even get a time to open my laptop. So I decided to write a blog from mobile app. But I am using Microsoft Windows phone so couldn't get any such app. Luckily I installed this app 'MyBlogger Free' lets see how helpful this will be. I usually sleep during my travel time from home to office and office to home I guess its time to utilize those time now.<br><br>You won't believe what time it is 00:23, my baby is sleeping I think I should also sleep now. Take care and have a good night sleep.Kalpana Thapa Patnaikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04119065268787442216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71053229230223507.post-64031204404426827282014-05-28T21:01:00.001+05:302014-05-28T21:01:32.852+05:30Waiting is boring<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Coming back and joining office now seems to be the most idiotic thing I have recently done in my life. There is nothing to do, everything seems to be boring and I am missing my family.<br />
<br />
Someone said it correctly "There is nothing new in the past". What is gone that is gone and what is lost that is lost, coming back and trying to find it is no worthy. Good things <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="ea9a4284-83a2-4071-9c1c-4089a0a3c6c6" id="125d1727-de7b-46c6-82fb-5ad845a94b2b">comes</span> in our life if you keep moving forward.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I am leaving this city in a couple of weeks, so this situation is kind of making it easy for me getting depart without any heavy heart.<br />
<br />
Today I have seen movie 'Mary and Max'. This is the fifth time I am watching it and I never get bored. I wish to write something interesting, but there is nothing.<br />
<br />
In India these days politics is the only thing people are busy with. It's quite interesting.<br />
<br />
I am planning to watch 'Toy story' tomorrow.<br />
<br />
It's time for me to bed. Good night to all of <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="b336119d-2364-4500-8c00-8d12e36c3e94" id="568a2e93-c61f-4c3f-a1e5-5a08cc1ea6d8">you dear</span> friends.<br />

So today was a wonderful day.

<div>
Sad things always bring something good in your life, it's my personal experience.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, I am departing for New Delhi tomorrow 9 o'clock in the morning. I will be meeting my parents, brothers, my fiancé and other relatives I am so excited. Now I feel like I am actually getting married. LOL.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pardon me because these days I am simply thinking about marriage and only writing around it. This is a one time event of my life so please bear with me.</div>

I am signing off, need to do my packing.</div>

May God bless you, one and all.</div>

<br />
There were some of the things that I always wanted to do before I get married. I don't know that you have or possessed a list or not, but I have prepared mine few years back. And I am happy to tell you list have been achieved. Although this is sort of my personal stuff, but today I have decided to share it with you.<br />
<br />
In my previous blog, I have mentioned that soon I am going to get married and I guess it's time to loose the past and make some new place for the future.<br />
<br />
So here is the list that I forever desired to answer before I get married (The list is not in the order of events):<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">1. </span>Have a vacation or take a road trip with a group of girl friends.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">2.</span> Get my finance in order.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">3.</span> Travel somewhere exotic.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">4.</span> Help someone without wanting anything in return.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">5.</span> Learn to play an instrument.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">6.</span> Write my own book (in process)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">7.</span> Attend a concert or music festival.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">8.</span> Do something stupid.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">9.</span> Forgive someone.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">10.</span> To write a blog.<br />
<br />
My wedding is on the 2nd May but my beautician has not even been confirmed yet..... MARVELOUS, I don't know what I am going to do.<br />
<br />
Well, everything else is going well. I hope the same for all of you.<br />

<div>
There are very rare moments in your life when your curse turned out to be the blessings for you. It was my birthday, I was alone and wondering would anyone remember this day for me or would anyone make this day memorable enough so I can remember this day at least till 26th January of the next year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So before the clock could hit to the 12 midnight, before I could wish for anything else, I was surrounded by the most beautiful people of my life. It is true that beauty is not something that you always carry on your face but it is all about your heart. <br />
<br />
It is not something that you can demonstrate with your makeup or veil with your fake smile. It is something that passes from one to another, yesterday it was for someone else, today it is for me and tomorrow may be it will be for you but the most vital thing is, it must pass on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today the sun is same, the moon is no different, and stars are parallel but what is it about today that making my phone ringing off the hook all day, all night. Those I have not heard about from many months are reaching for me today, so I believe I have got some power today or may be it is just a magic because out of those three hundred and sixty five days, once in a year, today is the only day which is meant for me because today is the day I was born.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you for those who remembered this day for me and taking out their precious time for me. And thank you for those too who forgot and didn't bothered me at all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you all for making this day beautiful enough.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
P.S. -<span style="color: orange;"> </span>Special thanks to <span style="color: orange;">Nivedita Rashingar, Arjun Agarwal, Sonam Dixit and Piyush Agarwal.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
You knew it from the beginning so you decided to play games out of
it. You said you are the one and I believed you. You said you would never leave
me and I believed you. Like a dark as the night and bright as the day I thought
you will forever <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="8ffc89d2-0ce2-4b5a-8c5d-6ad7fdfaf25e" id="760c669a-fb5b-4b35-85b0-c2cbc430bc3b">going</span> to stay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
I feed you with my pride and so called admiration. You rooted deep into my heart and I let
you grow, day by day. I hold you so gently, I thought you would understand. I thought you
would understand that you are my beloved, for me you are the</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"> precious and the only one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
But now I realize nothing lasts for long. The air that you
breathe, the vision that you create is no longer the same. Your brightest face
and your golden heart have lost its value. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
Let's forget that I am deep cut inside and you are hiding your
scars. Let's believe we are beautiful again and this is never going to fade
away. Let the life lead us to new horizons. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
But I have decided not to leave you like this. You will live with
me forever, in my dreams, in my stories, in my old diaries, in my secret
drawer, somewhere below my table and places where no one will ever imagine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> So, at night when I
will raise my head up and look for the moon, I will possibly think of only you,
because I always, always do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Every living creature on this earth do react to the situation only the difference is how differently they react to it. In some ways not reacting is another way of reacting <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="11e27bbf-35c2-4f80-b6cf-e721e50819b4" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="fb9b54bd-2a5a-4d90-8644-8e287d8366c5" grcontextid="too:0">too</span>.<br />
<br />
This blog is entirely based on my personal opinion. There are no scientific studies have been done before writing it, only a few interviews.<br />
<br />
This is the general idea that some people react over the situation after analyzing it they are the superior and most intellectual humans on this earth. And there are some who react without being calculative in response they are considered to be less intellectual and less superior.<br />
<br />
Let's take an example here, assume that your phone rings, how much time would you take to answer that phone call? Of course if it is an important call you would react instantly and answer it. If you are not sure about answering it you analysis for a while, but if it is totally unnecessary call you won't mind letting it go.<br />
<br />
While talking to some of my friends I realized that there are a lot many factors which truly affects our way of responding to the situation because yes some situations are much bigger than answering the phone call so it needs more dimensions here.<br />
<br />
Taking into the consideration about the factors, our nature, our society, our psychological states, our past experiences, sometimes our gender too and trust me our physical fitness also plays a vital role in it.<br />
<br />
It has been examined that relaxed or tensed people do react slowly to the situation rather than the people somewhere in-between.<br />
<br />
Our age, the older we grow the slower we react to the situation. This includes our maturity level as well.<br />
<br />
Whereas the male dominating society is considered I don't have to say that women will be less responsive.<br />
<br />
Love and affection are another aspect that makes us more protective towards our loved one and interestingly it makes us generous towards the society too.<br />
<br />
Physical fitness also has a direct effect. People who find themselves fit or say the fitter the person is likely to respond to the situation directly.<br />
<br />
And this is silly but somehow right that men are good in analyzing the situation whereas women are good at feeling the concern of the people so I guess they feel first then do the analysis later on.<br />
<br />
Well I do not want to win over the situation but personally I am not a superior kind of. I do not expect everybody to be on my side always but yes if things go wrong I do not want the people hanging around me and losing themselves in thinking, being analytical and calculative. Who cares about the time, situation, principles, right and wrong when your own people needs you, be supportive.<br />
<br />
The only conclusion I can find here after interviewing people is everybody wants to be a good human being which is very good but everybody has their own perceptions and ideas about being good.<br />

<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384344434647_2274">
I am sorry its been more than a month and I have not updated any of my posts. There were lots happening these days, a lot of personal experience to write about and being a blogger its sad for me how I am not able to express all these to you. And when I say lot it means festivals, gathering, meetings, celebrations, separation, doctors visit and much more. If I start writing about all these stories I could blog for a long 60 days, daily.</div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384344434647_2409">
Last evening I was going through my old diaries and I am astonished to see how most of the incidents were so sad in nature. I wonder am I a negative kind of person or sad things give me much stronger emotion to write.</div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384344434647_2410">

Those who doesn't know I would like to share this information that I am working on my own novel as well. 5 years is the maximum time limit I am giving of myself to make it ready for publishing. And I don't mind sharing a few pages with my readers, so just let me know and all kinds of suggestions and advices are acceptable.</div>

So after a long time its good to be in touch with you all. I would love to make this conversation two ways. Tell me about yourself, what are you reading, places you visited, your family, your friends, your problems and believe me I have a lot of things to share with you all too.</div>

The first time I saw him I was too young to understand what love is. Our names start with the same letter, does that means love? Love was sitting next to me for the whole year solving math problems, sharing lunch during recess, I let him borrow my pencil but I never got it back. With sadness I waved him goodbye when we got a part <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="e37f5ef5-2f70-4e00-bad6-7bc53751b01b" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="8a363e84-2f15-47f5-8ffc-bc6eadfa5fcd" grcontextid="for:0">for</span> the whole summer vacation.<br />
<br />
Maybe love changes every year, like weather. Maybe love remains same for ages, like history. Maybe love is complicated as you never get to solve it, like a math problem. Maybe Love lies somewhere in between the lines on our hands, like fate. Maybe love always has a happy ending, like a fairy tale. Maybe Love is perfect.<br />
<br />
But when Love arrived it has short hairs, he wears a loose shirt, he talks less and thinks too much.<br />
<br />
She doesn't know anything about makeup. She doesn't know how to cook at all. She goes crazy on the dance floor. Love has made me sick.<br />
<br />
Love is not perfect but Love is there. Love holds my hand before I fall.<br />
<br />
Love will never let me sleep way past midnight. Love doesn't care about thousands of bucks of a phone bill if he really wants to talk to me all day, all night.<br />
<br />
Love is a blush on my cheeks when someone puts our names together.<br />
<br />
I saw Love is peeking through the corners and edges of its eyes, sometimes it makes me feel uncomfortable in public.<br />
<br />
Love surprises me on my Birthday. Love takes care of me when I am sick. Love sings for me so I can sleep. Love comes near to me and my heart beats gets faster. Love touches me and I feel like a roller-coaster ride. But I don't believe Love fights too when we disagree. Love breaks my heart.<br />
<br />
Maybe I am not perfect for Love, maybe Love is not ready for me. Maybe I lost it way back, maybe I have not found it yet.<br />
<br />
Sometimes you have to retain the Love and sometimes you have to let it go.<br />
<br />
Maybe Love will grow old with me. It will have wrinkles all over its body but his heart will be tender. Most of the times it will rest on its bed. Love will hardly talk.<br />
<br />
Love grows like a tree stretching to reach the sky, Love changes like it found a better person than me out there in this very world, Love disappears like a dream but I still have a slight recollection of it's in the morning.<br />
<br />
Maybe love should stay, maybe Love will not.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we were kids I
hated you, you were the person who teased me most and in a return I thought I
could never love you back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You always wanted the
same pen and notebook I choose for myself, you always wanted the place where I
was sitting, you always wanted to reach for remote when I was watching
‘Friends’ on television. I don’t know how many secrets we have shared, I don’t
remember how many fights we had together.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But when we were
young you became my friend. I realized we were so bonded. Sometimes you were
right to say not everyone is worth being friend but when I told you 'I like
that boy' you taught me all about the man's psychology but become his friend
eventually. Sometimes you knocked my door just to ensure I am all right and I
always hold your attention where ever I go.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know you could have
been a soldier and serve for this country, I know you could have been a doctor
and save many lives but you decided to become something else, out of the league
and I respected you because you listen to your heart and I could see a great
deal of myself in you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love you because I
know you know me better than anyone else, you know me how I feel when I succeed
and what I feel when I don’t get what I wish.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you for
everything you taught me, thank you for sharing your chocolates, thank you for
all those rides on your bike, thank you for telling who is right and who is
wrong and thank you for accepting my every demand. I know you are a good person
at heart and upright citizen of this nation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know if I ever need
a strong man to hold my side you will be the first person. I know if any road
romeo tries to tease me you will be there to punch him on his face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am a girl, I am a
woman, you protect me and respect me always and God knows I am lucky to have
you all my life. But I ask you for more than that now, please do not just
ignore the situation just because no one else is bother about it, never let down
your eyes if you see anything is happening wrong, always speak up for the truth
and raise your voice if you ever see injustice not only for me for, any girl,
for anyone.<o:p></o:p></div>

I know we all have to prove our self at every step of our life whether we like it or not, that is the reason we have fights, tests, examinations, experiments and all. You try and try and try but there is no guarantee to be a master at what you do. You will still be shocked and frightened. And sometimes you are unable to answer the situation.<br />
<br />
You can be strong and you can be very judgmental, you can be kind and you can be so fragile but with these mixed feelings you can make a hell out of your life. But life doesn't have to be that hard the way of life has to be free and beautiful.<br />
<br />
May be you don't know what you want. May be you screw things when you don't like the way it is but it's ok. It's ok to get angry when you are hurt, it's ok to surrender when you are in love and its ok to be heartbroken when you trust. This is the part of our life, your life and my life. At least you are trying to be real with you. This is what we do, we are supposed to have emotions without it we all will be lost.<br />
<br />
What if I tell you an average person can live for 24,000 days only. In 24,000 days you will grow, you will learn, you will love and you will die someday. Isn't it really too less time to live your life.<br />
<br />
Yes you have been told not to talk to strangers but I tell you here do not stop being kind to them.<br />
<br />
Yes you have been told war is no good for humanity but I tell you here do not stop your heart to collect the broken pieces that war spreads all over the world.<br />
<br />
And yes you have been told life will be measured in how much money you earn but I tell you here do not avoid the fact that there might be something else (dreaming, writing, exploring the world...etc) you would really love to do, and you should not forget that.<br />

When I was a teen I used to collect coins, magazines, pictures of movie stars, writing notes and do lots of cycling around old houses. We didn’t have many options to watch on television with 'Doordarshan' channel, so it’s better to play with friends. But after the advent of color televisions and more channels we girls used to get together after school and watch television all evening.<br />
<br />
Do you remember when we were teenagers we always wanted to be someone like a pop star, movie star, superstar as they are born to be praised by fans and followers like us. They motivated us to be beautiful, good looking, rich, successful and happy.<br />
<br />
Michael Jackson & Madonna was the most inspiring pop stars of my generation and liked by every teen, but I always go with the minority in this scenario I always liked the Latina sensation Jennifer Lopez, JLO. She was attractive and beautiful in her own ways but my friends used to say "She is not beautiful". Interestingly I never considered myself as a beautiful girl in my group or a class but that might be the reason it brought me closer to her, praise her and idolize her.<br />
<br />
Her journey right from the backup dancer till the <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="c58286f5-fc55-47bd-b858-90067abf8fff" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="6cf887af-a134-4f99-baf5-6608efb15b8a" grcontextid="stardom:0">stardom</span> was never been easy. Imagine, how hard it would be for her to become a Hollywood mainstream superstar when she was actually from a Latino background with an average looks. But she succeeded. She is dam hard working person. She performs multiple tasks, movies, singing, dancing, concerts, business and personal life. I wish I could be as strong and self made women like her.<br />
<br />
Jennifer says she does not drink alcohol, smoke, or experiment with drugs, she stays natural and no plastic surgery unlike most of the superstars. Jennifer Lopez with Ben Affleck was the best picture of the perfect couple for me that time. I loved her song '<u>Jenny from the Block</u>' the most and I still do.<br />
<br />
The way she dances and her beautiful voice, her perfect <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="bf8f7351-682a-4b63-a25f-913342c6be4d" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="428a0cee-35c6-4c4b-9793-6037316921f6" grcontextid="toned:0">toned</span> body and her different but attractive looks which made her shine wherever she goes always inspired me to be like her. Those were the days and even today I have never dropped the feeling to be like her. I have never stopped liking her. She’s still my 'The favorite pop star'.<br />
<br />
She has always given me the positive feeling that you can be beautiful and conquer the world with whatever you have and whoever you are.<br />
<br />
<u>For me to love her is loving myself in many ways.</u></div>
