Unpublished Chapter -1

Sometimes life is so difficult that you cannot even understand that is it something to cheer or to feel sad about. There was a day when I used to think, dream, scream, fight and do whatever I can to achieve the place where I am today, but now being here and living my dream I came to know that this is not what I want in life, And I am not satisfied with it.

My dream was to fulfill all the desire of people around me. And when I started fulfilling the desires then I realized desires are never ending thing in life, if I keep fulfilling those then people will never understand its worth and this is the time I have changed my dream from fulfilling all the desires of people around me to fulfilling all the needs of people I see.

Changing a dream is not enough, I have to plan and take steps to achieve this in my life. Its not easy to change your path once you already walked few miles though not impossible. Now my target is to complete my current commitments and along with it to plan the things properly so that once I am done with all my commitments, I can directly jump into to ground and start living my new dream.

For this I will need self confidence, determination, enthusiasm, motivation, lots of support from experience people, blessings from my elder ones and love from younger ones. As of now this is just a ray of hope, I have faith in myself that someday my dream will shine like a sun.

Step to Durdle Door

Durdle Door, a beach, the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, it's beauty is beyond the imagination. The very first glance to it, was of at least a  minute.

I want to grab this view in my heart forever, it is the nature at it best.Really its beauty cannot be described in words, but the picture can speak..

Isn't it simply WOW!!!! the colors are just breathtaking. This view itself would be enough to hypnotize anyone but then here is the door...The Durdle Door, which is natural limestone arch. With this view anyone can just imagine how marvelous our nature is.....

The coastline here is so picturesque, and once we reach down to the beach, sit there and view this place, it could not be enough if I call it a version of heaven on earth. This time I was really not very much interested in my solo pictures as I have fallen in the love with this place.And when you are in love, pictures doesn't matter, because the feeling is enough to remember those miraculous moments forever. I was just continuously looking at the stupendous views.

I couldn't end this write up properly as it is just the beginning...I want to go there again.

Just a single dot(.)

Confused!!!!! yes me too, what does it mean?

If it used at the last of a sentence than it means someone is suggesting that there is nothing more to say on a topic. But what if someone just texted you a (.), how it can be understood?

Well I think, it could mean a lot may be:

It could mean that someone is waiting for a response, who doesn't completely like you but trying to give you a sign that, he/she wants to get to know you to the put where he/she can like you.

Or..it can be interpreted as someone is letting you know that he/she likes you and leaving, so to speak that "the ball is in your court now", he/she is leaving whatever, if anything at all happens next, is up to you.

Or..can also be understood as you have probably made someone happy for something and now that someone is throwing signs, if you also like, response them with a sign  back, don't be obvious but atleast let that someone know that you also want something out it.

Now, the decision is yours where you wanna go!!!

Good luck :-)

Life is....

While walking on the road after dinner and talking to friend, I realised what life is....

Life, at times is unfair. You obviously get what you deserve, but the sad part is accepting that you may never have what you want. Not everyone is good at it. Not many people know how to fake a smile. Not many people out there are dual-faced. Sometimes, people are what they are. They may not smile too often, but that means that there is something bugging them. Smiling isn't as easy as it sounds. It's just not the lips that have to work, the heart is involved as well.

Everybody has their own share of problems in life, but not many have the strength to tackle them with a positive attitude.

People can fake happiness, but it is almost impossible to fake grief. One simply cannot pretend to break sad or depressed. The only solution is to overlook the negatives and focus on the positive things around us. Try to bring yourself to accept what you have. You may often think that you deserved better in life, but then what you currently have isn't that bad too. Laugh away your problems. Indulge yourself in what you love the most, explore yourself. Find out what you're meant for. The day you find out who you are, things will be brighter. Your vision will be much clearer. You'll know why things happened that way. And as far as other things are concerned, well, Ignorance is Bliss!

It is just a night walk which taught me a big lesson...Thanks to my wonderful friend, truly inspiring personality.

Significance of Unexecuted Plans

Unexecuted plans..... what it is? I can describe it as the plan which is either made by you or anyone of  your crazy friend, which sometimes is either discussed with others or kept to yourself. But lastly , somehow , it gets canceled! Reasons could be any or may be many. Like some one doesn't like the plan or other one had made some different plan or may be some one has other priorities at that time or it could just be a weather forecast. Ultimately you end up with a plan which will never be actually executed.

You must be thinking if it is unexecuted then whats the significance of it, may be for some people it is just time wasted in discussion, for me it is equally significant as the executed one. Thus, I can write a blog on it.

Let us discuss whats the significance of an executed plan....I think its the amazing feeling which you have enjoyed with friends, crazy things you did there, games you played, the photo session, amazing scenic views but ultimately this all can be sum as good time you had there and now it just memories with your friends, which is the same as I feel even when it is an unexecuted plan, Unexecuted plan also leave us with so many good, crazy, funny memorable moments which we have discussed with friends and family.If the plan is not discussed with anyone then too it gives me memories when I have fantasised the plan. And This memory as well will last forever.

So I keep planning and keep discussing with friends. Utlimately I keep creating memorable moments.

A wish....to be little again

When I was a kid.....oops....I am still a kid, yes because I never let the child inside me down. I am often accused of being childish which can be preferably interpreted as child-like.  I still get recklessly enthusiastic about little things Also, tend to fantasize and embellish. Of-course, sometimes I have to show off maturity but let me make it clear that is truly a show off, as there is little kid inside me, the one who still have crush on soft toys and baby dolls mini games and alluring fairy tales.

Today, I went to a shop named as Disney Store in Westfield Shopping center. 

First glance:

Actually my friend has to purchase a gift for a little one year girl. So, we went there. Store has a huge collection of toys, clothing, school items, shoes, accessories and even fancy dress material, I liked the fairy wings most.

While we were discussing about the gift, I have already entered into that world in my imagination. It was really amazing. For sometime I completely forgot that I am big girl, being more precise I should call myself a women now. But I always feel it was really good if I can go back to that world, after all wounded knees are better then a broken trust, empty pockets are better then being alone.

When I was in imagination my friend had already made the payment, he bought a mini mouse soft toy. And finally I am also back to world where I am big girl...I mean women. And we left from the shop.

Some more pics of the shop...

Lastly....I  can only wish If I can be a kid again...no bills, no worries, no broken hearts, happy life and always smiling.

Visit to Isle of Wight

Needles Beach

Its summer time, going to beach is a good idea and it became best when we have group of friends with us.

My friends had planned to visit Isle of Wight, I wondered what is the plan, how we will reach there and hit the spots.

We have booked the tickets with a Lady Guide (Daksha Ben), she charged £35 per person which includes travel cost only.



Its Saturday morning we started by 7:00 AM from Hounslow central in a coach which can accommodate nearly 50 people. Then after travelling for an hour or so, we reached to a port, our coach is placed on the fairy and we went to deck, enjoyed the weather luckily it was a sunny day.

View from the deck

After travelling for an hour in fairy we again have to board the bus and travel to the first spot of Isle of Wight, which is The Needles beach. We have 1 hour 30 mins time to spend here and move to coach by 1:15PM.

Things to visit here are:
1. Glass Factory
2. Candy Factory &
3. The Needles beach

We decided to start with Needles beach.

The first and most amazing experience of the trip is to board the world famous Needles chairlift, which transports us from the cliff-top above Alum Bay down to the beach below. The beach is very beautiful, we went into the water it was chilling when the waves are hitting us but such a wow feeling  it was. We had our lunch their which we have carried along. Then we did a photo session on the beach some selfies and lots of fun. By the time we realised its already 1:10PM, then we rushed back to chairlift which dropped us to cliff top. And then we moved to the coach, we didn't go to see the glass and candy factory as the beach was so amazing.

Chairlift

Again we boarded the bus and travelled to the pearl factory. It has amazing collection of pearls and its ornaments. Also, there is a beautiful scenic sea view behind the pearl factory.

From there we left for the Shanklin Beach, there we have got 3 hours to spend which is too much for this beach as it was not that much beautiful as the Needles was. So, we just went into a game shop, did bowling with mini bowls and played hand hockey and other games as well. It was fun with friends. Then we hit the beach and their we relived childhood memories of playing with sand. And also went into the water, touch the waves and clicked photos.

At 6:30PM we have left from there to catch the fairy again, went into the coach reached the fairy. We had our dinner in the fairy itself. Finally after an hour or so, boarded the coach to travel back to home. Most the people were sleeping in the bus, however me and my friends have played damsharas.

Reached Hounslow at 10:30PM. From there I have travelled back to home, one of my friend dropped me till my studio at Hammersmith.

Overall it was an amazing experience. Really want to thank all of my friend who made this trip memorable for me.

All the above precious moments are captured by Anshul Shrivastav, thanks to him :-).

Trip to Manchester & Lake District (Day 1)

First weekend at London and luckily its a long weekend. Some of my friends already had planned this weekend for Manchester and Lake district. I too joined the plan as don't want to be alone for 3 days.

We started on Saturday morning from London to Manchester, reached there in 2 hours approx via train. Then we reached to Media city, checked into the hotel (The heart apartments), below is awesome view from the balcony of my room....

Had lunch at some asian food stall in Lowry mall. Then we moved to Trafford centre, which is the second largest shopping center in the UK.

Inside glance of Trafford center 

Most of time of the first day we spent there. Then we traveled back to the hotel.

As soon as I reached hotel, I called one of very good friend of mine she is already staying in Manchester. We met and she took me to the football court where most of colleagues used to play. We watched them some time and talked a lot about each and everything, damn I am missing her now. After this one more friend of mine invited me for dinner at her place. I went there really it was amazing food "ghar ka khana type", thanks to her. Then we went for a walk in Media city.

 In night the lighting effects are just amazing.

Did photo session at Cbeebies office.

After an astonishing night walk, we went back to hotel and slept.

First international flight

A girl carrying lots of hope in mind like this could be an excellent turn to her career, will also resolve all her financial problems, and help her to improve personal life as well, has started her journey from Pune to London,UK.

Its Pune, morning 3:00 AM, I am lying on bed and thinking about my new life which about to start in next few hours. Suddenly alarm rang and I am just out of my imagination, haven't slept yet, now even don't have time to sleep. As I have to catch the cab to airport. 

Within 30 minutes I am ready to travel, my friends wake up with me to see-off me, helped me with my luggage. Just get into the cab went to my colleague  home to pick him up as "Being a girl its not safe to travel alone at this time", so he will drop till airport. We reached airport at 5:00 AM, and he left. 

My fight details are:

Now its only me waiting at the airport to get my Boarding pass, I have not done online checkin but it could be good if I have done it, this will same some time. And finally, queue started to get the boarding pass. I just reached there, they asked me to show my booking confirmation (e-ticket), along with valid visa stamp on my passport. I have asked them can I do through checkin (when the baggage reaches the final destination and there is no need to pick it up at any stop like in my case its Delhi)?  They said I can't as I am having different operators for my journey (Air India & Virgin Atlantic) and given me my boarding pass.

I have boarded flight and this is how my journey has started...

Reached Delhi at 10:15 AM, then was waiting for baggage to be get on belt as I have to carry them and checkin them again for my night flight. 10:40AM yet my bags are not at the belt,  and then display screen says no more bags left for my flight, then I am completely shocked. I just rushed to the staff at the Delhi Airport, they said some more bags are left, they are on their way. Finally I collected my bas at 11:15AM, it is already too late for me as I have to get my boarding pass for next flight, I rushed to the counter here it is already a very long queue, then I requested everyone in queue to help me get my boarding pass first as my fight has already started on boarding. Thanks to everyone in the queue, I got my boarding pass on time and reached to the gate, My name was getting announced as I am last one to board the flight. 

Wow....finally I am in the flight from Delhi to London or better I call it from India to UK :-).
