Zindagi Gulzar Hai

I would start this post with an Urdu quote that very much relates to my situation these days.

"Achhe waqto ki tammmanna me rahi umren rawaan; waqt aisa tha ki bas naaz uthate guzra"

Meaning: Most of the times we imagine and wait for the best times to come, but the time has its own terms and conditions, and leaves us unfulfilled and unsatisfied.

It's happening with me since past few years; I am looking forward to the future rather than living in the present. Before marriage I wanted to get married, I got married, and then I wanted everyone to love me, accept me, worked for it and succeeded to some extent. The I was waiting for my baby, worrying all the times, how I would be able to manage; many thoughts used to come to my mind, like; will I be able to adjust well with my in laws? (as I had to shift to my in laws place with the baby), she came bought happiness, I shifted to my in law's place, everything happened and taken care of well. Some days bought bad moods, post natal depression while others were happy and really satisfying.

Then I started waiting when will I go back to my own home, to my husband where I can live as per my convenience, counted days, and still counting….

But in all this I forgot that I have to live and cherish this phase also. Although I enjoy company of my daughter, my mother in law but somewhere in back of my mind, I have always been looking forward for the best times.

But now, something is changing; I have started thinking by keeping myself in their shoes.

So, what about those thoughts of going back??

I have come to the conclusion, that every time has its own share of happy moments and sad ones too (which won’t matter after a while), then why do we always wait for the perfect time to come?

I think there is no perfect time, it’s only our way of perceiving it.

PS: Zindagi Gulzar Hai :)

Being Married

So life has been a roller coaster ride in this past one year... discussions, arguments, disagreements, fights, love, emotions are few words to sum up this past 11 months journey.

Well, we all have a picture for perfect married life, expectations related to our partner. But when the reality strikes, it can be a totally different picture from what we have imagined. The same happened to us :) .. the dream land became argument land and then confusions, tears, misbehavior took place of love. I think most of the married people can relate to me while the unmarried can imagine my situation. So, like every other couple we had our share of fights and disagreements. In this short span of time I have understood that even if you have get lot of ideas from other married couple about this concept married, but being married is totally a different experience which you can understand only after getting married. You can be  in your worst version at a moment while at the other moment you feel like sacrificing your everything for your better half. The same happened to us.

So, after completing 11 months, I can say that we both have accepted each other the way we are and now we know that no one is perfect. We miss each other's company whenever we are far away. Love is blooming... and now I can totally relate to one of my good friends words: the first year of every married life is very crucial and is the foundation for your married life especially if it is an arranged marriage.

Next month on 22nd January, we will be celebrating our first anniversary and hope the coming years be filled with joy, happiness and love. Here is a song (from the movie PK) dedicated to this new relationship.

Ms. Engaged :)

Well, it's been a while, I being away from my space. Although I missed the "Moments" (the blog) a lot but something or the other kept me occupied. So, now am back and that too with a good and a BIG news. The day I had been waiting since I got the sense of the world, has finally arrived in my life too. Long wait, anticipations, bad moods have finally bought me something worth waiting for. OK enough of this foundation..

Here it goes. I am engaged !!! :) yes I am .. The day I had visualized again and again in my lifespan till now has finally become the reality. So, guys I am engaged to a wonderful person and I am Happy :) . Love is in the Air and I am loving it...

It's a beautiful feeling I must say. Now there are no hurries and no worries. No insecurities and no possessiveness. I know this person is whom I was waiting for and will be there for me always. Amen ! As they say, It's a new beginning. I hope this new road take both of us to a beautiful journey with loads of pleasant surprises ahead. We both need your best wishes and luck.


I will be sharing more stories of this new beginning with you all... :)


Love you all.

What Matters the Most - Inner or Outer Beauty ?

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all are doing well. Here is a great news to share with you all. I have joined a new organisation with a better profile, salary package and position. So am quite excited about this new achievement and have adapted well in the new horizon. My boss who is a lady (for the first time I would be working with a lady boss, hope it would be a nice experience) and my other sub-ordinates are quite supportive and generous. So, I am quite liking it. Moreover the working hours and days are less here so, that's also a positive point :)

Another update is, I read an article that women who apply makeup and take a good care of themselves are trusted more in their workplace. The logic behind that is such women keep an eye on minute details and are more responsible when it comes to their profession. So, after reading that, I've become more conscious about how well I can maintain myself. So, explored few makeup tips and latest trends on fashion make myself more confident. And it was proved by another article that I read on my favorite writer Paulo Coelho's Blog and want to share it with you all.

Read 2-3 times to absorb the essence of what the writer is trying to convey:


"People always say: ‘It’s inner beauty that matters, not outer beauty.’ Well, that’s not true. If it were, why would flowers put so much energy into attracting bees? And why would raindrops transform themselves into a rainbow when they encounter the sun? 

Because nature longs for beauty, and is only satisfied when beauty can be exalted. Outer beauty is what makes inner beauty visible, and it manifests itself in the light that flows from our eyes. The eyes are the mirror of the soul and reflect everything that seems to be hidden; and, like a mirror, they also reflect the person looking into them. 

So if the person looking into someone’s eyes has a dark soul, he will see only his own ugliness."


Hope you liked the post. I would appreciate if you will share your views on the same.

Almost Single - Is there a thing like Perfet Relationship?

Sitting idle in my office, nowadays I wait for the clock to tick 7. While waiting, I am exploring few good shooping and reading optiosn as well. Like recently I explored that I have few unpublished posts which I think are well written and interesting read. So, from now onwards, I publsi those unpublished posts sometimes:

Hope you will enjoy reading them :) Here is a post from May 2012:

So, nowadays, as I am jobless, I am enjoying this phase of life as well. Doing house chores, then applying for jobs and reading the novel "Almost Single" (Which is the best part of day these days). I am glued to it. The novel is really interesting especially if you are a single women looking for that perfect match. Really, I can relate to that. While reading that novel, I was thinking, why do we girls fall for wrong options even if we know that they are not the ones, we are looking for but on the other hand I think how would we know what we want if we would not try diferrent options or date different guys (to be more specific).

Like Misha, the best friend of the lead lady of the novel, we all have few experiences. Meet different kind of guys at every stage life, some are interesting, die hard handsome (whome every chick would like to date) while others play smart. Some are real jerks while others were big time losers. Lollzz... I can be real bitch sometimes. Anyways, what I have noticed is me and most of my friends end up with losers. But no regrets seriously as most of them are happily married now and have found their soulmate in their "Arranged Marriage Husbands." Though I am still single, I hope I will find that dream man of mine which I have been waiting since I have started dreaming about love. The morale of the strory is live life, enjoy it, explore different options, and if it's not working out then MOVE ON!!!! You won't regret.
Now enough of this gyaan, please share your experiences.. 

Till later,
Love,
Ann
