Give to get!!

So i started a new tradition of gifting something personal to my brothers for Rakhi, unknowing as to how big a trouble i was getting myself into!! However I consider myself to b a Gifter n love to dwell into a persons personality n give it some serious thinking about what, where from, how to, wat wrapper etc. etc., before getting the gift ready.

 So i decided to get a brand of perfume which isnt available in my city and called the store in another city and made a frd go get it n then since other frds were visiting that city asked my frd to deliver it to them.. Meanwhile m thinking what else to give how to pack.. all that going in my head i was certain that my brothers wud love the gift  n that all the obligations i was taking is gonna b worth it, not forgetting I m going to re-pay d favours some day.. too many levels of circles to cover in life..

 So as simple as it seemed, it wasnt n finally when i received the packet I was so thrilled to have received it as though a little kid got his long awaited favorite imported candy. 

with the hamper i made i was feeling content grateful n happy as tho it was an addition on my dressing table tho it was a deficit in my bank balance.

At the time of finally handing the hampers all the brothers seemed to hv loved it except for 1.. grumppy me!! But when another msged saying how much thy liked it i was thrilled..

Just that all those obligations n efforts (of my frds) seemed worth it enough..
I know its not thanksgiving but i am still grateful. Its not about the price tag of a gift but how worthy it becomes for the thot n efforts gone behind it. The moment its acknowledged n appreciated the cost turns into value n efforts turn into twinkle in the eyes!! :)
So when ppl say joy of giving the joys truly felt only when u r giving..no matter what it is.. as long as its with positive attitude, positive energy and positive intent the positivity is sure to flow!!! 

The dancing clouds

The monsoons r going on, somedays r nice n romantic n somedays quite spitefully pouring.

What I like the most is those days when the clouds dance really low to the tunes of the wind and the Sun plays sportive spotlight letting the clouds flow in their mood n rule the open earthy stage.

Its almost like the clouds are teasing and playing around knowing that they r under the spotlight for a change after a couple of months of sunny fury. 

The foreplay between the clouds and the rain anticipating earthy creatures is quite alluring in itself. 

Birds dilemma to hide or to fly away is evident. 

The shadows of the lush green fauna gracefully tuning themselves to the unplanned beats and tempo of the breeze seems choreographed especially for the watchful eye.

The blinding sunny satires to the calming pleasant grays of the noon r distracting for a unsettled mind only to sober it down.

Sometimes.....

Sometimes we wonder, what happened to others,
sometimes they wonder what happened to us,
Sometimes theres I and U in a relation instead of US,
Sometimes US stands against them n thats when togetherness is proved,
its easier sometimes to just let the sand seep out of our fists rather than trying to save every sand granule,
sometimes the struggle and the war to hold up the fort is absolutely worthy and sometimes it just might not be.
Sometimes not to react is the most impactful reaction coz other times it might create wars.
Like every action has an equal and opposite reaction so does a non-reacting sometimes...
It may just make u hold onto the sand in ur fist without letting any granules seep through. or even better without crushing them.
 sometimes life  gives u a push n some times u push it away.
There will be those some times, sometimes in life when u'll b happy and those when u wont, cause it all boils down to your choices, actions and sometimes situations..
 Hope the happy sometimes are more often than the other times for us.. :)
