Just one more step

One step in our lives matter a lot. Very often, we might lose a precious one for not letting just one more effort. We will surrender at the last minute due to lack of patience/confidence/will power, but we will not be in a position to imagine the amount of bliss we get when we win and we will never be ready to give a last try. The thing is we will assume that everything is impossible in this world; actually everything is impossible until it gets done.

Everybody knows that 99⁰c water is hot, Very hot. We also know that at 100⁰c, water begins to boil and becomes steam. And steam is very powerful enough to move a train load of people. Think about it. Just one degree more – hot water becomes steam which is powerful to move a train. While we may not always realize it, our lives are like that too. One degree means a lot. That little extra effort can mean the difference being a winner and an also - ran.

Too often we give up when the goal might have been just one step away. We finish second, when just one degree more of effort could have meant a world of difference. Unfortunately we don’t have the benefit of a thermometer that can tell us to keep going just for one degree more.

Whatever it is u set out to do, whatever goal u seek to achieve, push yourself to do just a little bit more. Just one degree more as said.

See out the difference, it can be magical.

P.S: It’s a random page from my personal diary.

0.5 kg

Today, I was feeling a bit low, I guess I am sad ….. not because someone ate my chocolates, not because somebody commented me, not because I could not resolve an issue, not because I got some pimples, not because I lost some money, not because I got up early, not because I did some stupid thing; haan, BUT....because I have not reached my target :(

Yes, I have a set a new target / resolution / goal which sounds pretty simple and crazy but indeed, it's the most hardest thing for the one who is actually involved to achieve it.

Now, here comes my target – to gain a weight of 0.5 KG in 2 weeks.

Ooouch!!!Please don’t start blaming me now!!Believe me, it’s not as easy as it sounds, I have been facing this issue since few years and but I would always fail and lose confidence :(

I try a lot to put on where as many try a lot to put off, but every time I fail. Not this time, trust me, I had set this point many times. Integer 50 is my target. my weight fluctuates always in between 47-49. I reach till 49 but I could never cross or touch that integer, I am scared of it and I have started hating that value.

In the first week of Jan, I had checked my weight and it was 49.5 kgs, to my surprise, it was 49.5..felt little happy and So, I had decided to increase my weight by 0.5 kg rather than truncating it to 50.

As it was an easy thing since I had crossed 49 and I have got two weeks of time, I thought I would definitely win in this case as it's a matter of silly 0.5 kg and achieve my target for sure.

Now, two weeks were over, I went thinking I would win today and checked……waaa :( :( Contrary to this, I flunked again. Perhaps it’s all because of me. Frankly speaking, I don’t follow up a good diet regularly.

First of all, If I have to brief out my every day diet, I guess most of you feel I am very peculiar, yes I am.

I am like a camel, I eat one time in a day, it may be during breakfast/ lunch/ snacks/dinner…

Believe me just one time or maximum two times….but I eat a lot of food till my tummy screams ..Enough! No more no more!! And I don’t have after that.

Sometimes, I have a lot of junk foods say maggi, burger, pizza, pani poori, samosa, cutlet….all etc….despite having rice/chapathi. And whatever food I cook/make/prepare, I use a big amount of ghee, butter and oil :) (cholesterol full ).

Huh!! but what’s the use? all my plenty number of efforts just went in vain. But, I will not give this up and I will definitely win one fine day.

There is a known saying - Try and Try until u succeed. I hereby say, I will again try by taking two more weeks period and I will definitely win this time by reaching 50. I have got all the required ingredients ;) Before writing this post, I went to Spencers and got lots of maggi, fruits, Horlicks, eggs :) :) (that’s the spirit) and I swear that I will sincerely work hard and will triumph over this mark.

haan..!!

I'm acutely, badly, curiously, dreadfully, extremely, frantically, greatly and madlyyy............

.....yes., I'm waiting!!

cheers!!

my precious 16 hrs!! :)

Though people say that traveling alone is pathetic, I enjoy it and I make it lively. Yesterday while coming back to Pune, I came by a train which was scheduled at 6.30 PM but it was running late by 30 minutes.and I was supposed to reach my destination at 10.35 A.M. the next day. Here by, I am elaborating on the sixteen hours which I had spent and I enjoyed by doing so.

7.00 P.M. - 8.30 P.M.:

I was gazing around the different kinds of junta sitting around me, a middle aged man with his wife discussing some family issues in an unknown language, not so pretty wannabe air hostess lolling on her berth, some college going students commenting everyone, a few techie geeks grumbling about their managers, a few more standing in a queue to charge their mobiles and yep how can i forget about the beggar who trips for some hundred times in the same compartment. I was punch drunk and I found it difficult to even breathe in that stupid sleeper class..poor me!!

8.30 P.M.- 9.00 P.M.:
Dinner-1 was already done before boarding into train, As I was loosing my weight day by day, my papa was scared and worried about me !! he made me eat the hell lot of food in the last couple of days.

dinner-2 was followed by just : :) :)
2 dairy milks,
sweets (not home made :D),
some raw fruits,
and of course a little home grub!!

9.00 P.M. - 10.00 PM:

(A small conversation with a chap, oops..i forgot to ask his name)

He is a chatter box. He talked, talked, talked, screamed and shouted as well. It really bottle necked my evening dreams, I was doomed and I cannot sleep after that conversation. This was an utmost flirting conversation I had ever seen!!of, course..that happens with all the pretty girls like me :P.

10.00P.M. - 1.00 A.M: I am thankful to my i pod, though its dying of less battery, it entertained me through out my journey. In between., I arranged my bed (berth :P), I dressed up to sleep, and yeah, I had phoned my friends and blah...

1.00 P.M - 8.00 A.M:

I was into my dream, I just forgot all the things who am I, where was I in, what was I doing, and etc...I relaxed badly. No network coverage :) as I literally roamed like a hutch dog for two days.

8.00 A.M - 10.00 A.M:

please refer to 10.00 P.M- 1.00 A.M :) again I thank my i pod. I love you :)

10.00 A.M - 10.30 A.M:

Again with the same innocent glance at people, who were standing in a queue to get down asap from the train as if it was some race and the person who got down first would get an accolade, who were in hurry to their respective places.

Back to Pune with many wishes, many hopes!! yeah, there is a good news, my problem has got solved!!I love you papa.And, omg!, I have planned to do many things in the coming days and yeah..Let me anticipate them....
really, Life is beautiful :)

Cheers!!

I wish you have an utmost life ahead.

Cheers,

yaar, U made my day :)

Each and every day starts with a smile, a feel and a wish..,
but today it started with grief, fear... (though i don know what exactly might happened..!!).

I didn't know why, I couldn't put it into words, I was frustrated, I just wanted to sit in the room where I knew God was going to be for sure, and be a little angry with Him, and be a little sad, and be a little out of sorts. All I could do then was weep. :( :(

Whenever I feel depressed I listen to songs, I eat chocolates, I try coming back to normal stage a lot.., but today none of these aided me...!! After coming to the office, as usual..for quite sometime I went on checking mails, filling time sheet and soon...

then., one of my favourite juniors pinged me in gtalk..,
and I met him after a long time and so had a long chat..!! It seemed me, a smile can express many things.., and a little gtalk chat soothed my heart :) it elated me and he really made my day!! seriously I' m really proud of having quite a few friends, who shows his or her true colors in times of adversity.!! yeah.., I mean it.., this post is dedicated to him as he delighted me, who charmed me, and who brought back my peppiness!!!

so, I'm back into my life.... :) :) thank you my dear DT :)

cheers!!

bye shoppe :(

its so pretty,
this color is trendy,
i guess it suits me well,,
i never tried this stuff,..huh..,
its making me happy...., chalo I will buy it!!

I suddenly get a fits attack often when I come across a cute skirt, lovely top or a pair of chappals.!!my muscles start jerking me to take that on what I had set my eyes on.

I am a shopaholic, I have no self control, I would go on dreaming about it, I think million of times, i don't have this colored one, I can wear it at many occasions, and finally I soothe my nerves by buying it. I have nearly 100 dresses to satisfy me still I go nuts behind this shopping..,I had squandered nearly 45k in one month for shopping, sounds crazy?? of course I knew, nobody can stop me from it whenever i see a mall, I feel it as a paradise, I enjoy buying all accessories no matter whether it's needed or not,but!!!(I decided)

don't think that I am well-heeled :P, company is paying me more than enough money just for my signature :) :) but due to some problems, I got my salary after 3 months, I have taken lots of money from people, probably this restricted me not to buy any more things..!!and this realized me the importance of money!!!so..

yup.., I have decided to stop shopping at least till my birthday (except one wallet and a pair of chappal :P). I will try my maximum to stick on to my words..., :) but I am not sure as there are many events coming ahead valentine's day :P, anniversary :P,
.........chalo, Lets see what will happen!!!

Cheers!!

Dear Friend!!

To ----

I don't know how to begin or from where to begin,. but I just wanna thank you a million times. I know that I am pathetic at expressing my feelings to others.., may be I am an introvert sometimes.., that's the reason why I am penning down in my blog.

Its have been hardly two to three months we stayed together, I became close to you. Our friendship has started with "Hi" and blossomed to "love you..( to write in my blog )" yeah, I really mean it. You never know how many times your presence makes my gloomy days delighted.., and your words remained me with no more hitches n hiccups......

...huh, the days we spent/are spending/will spend are great. I have enough freedom to discuss about each and every things happening daily. In this world, we rarely find people who matches our frequency, so I can also say that you are the one who matches my frequency.., and certainly acts according to it.

Today is World's "Close Friend Day". There is a quote with roses for you :) :)

You're...
My Friend,

my companion,

through good times and bad,

my friend, my buddy,

through happy and sad,

beside me you stand,

beside me you walk,

you're there to listen,

you're there to talk,

with happiness, with smiles,

with pain and tears,

I know you'll be there,

throughout the years!!!

-by Unknown

I hope our friendship flourishes forever!!!
Cheers!!

kuch tho hua hain!!

When I heard that somebody take more time to sleep after lying on the bed, I laughed at them and thought them as fools as those guys might be over worried about the next day or may be their brains are accessing the issues that are running through out the day. I had this opinion because I never faced this kind of situation and rather I will have a nap when I get short span of time.

Something is happening!!
But for last few days, things have become different. I have been spending sleepless nights and I am missing my beauty sleep. My beauty sleep is like: Going to bed at late night, in a rested and perfectly happy mood, sleeping all through the night, warm bed sheet, cool temperature, my pillows just fluffy enough and waking up when my cell alarms. Instead of this, yesterday when I was lying on my bed, I did not feel like sleeping at 12'o clock. So, I went, I took my laptop, I watched a movie which I in fact had seen it for more than 100 times. I tried hard to sleep and as again I failed, I thought I would have tried to think of some work that makes me tired and drives me to sleep. Anyways, I tried that later and I got more things to do. Then I opened my beautiful bag :) for nano Ipod, I connected it to laptop. Actually, I was unable to fetch time for synchronizing it, so finally I succeeded in doing that.

After doing all these stupid things, the time was 2.30 A.M. So, again I tried badly to sleep, that was a poor try, I failed again :P. Then I got up seriously, I mixed two colors of nail polish and applied to my fingers. Thank god, nobody noticed it, it was looking weird. I was hungry, ate horlicks. I have gone mad, that time balance in my mobile was Rs. 0.08, otherwise I would have disturbed some innocent fellows. Still I had an option to disturb my boyfriend as I had reliance. I am grateful to Reliance. I already disturbed him many times and I allowed him to sleep as he was extremely exhausted. But this time the devil rose and the level of madness was burst and it compelled me to disturb my love. So, I called him. He is the sweetest hunk, as he understood my problem, he talked to me for sometime and finally he made me to sleep. I guess I slept at around 4.00 A.M.

The reason behind my unusual insomniac nights is "SOMETHING". That something could be both sadness and happiness. Sadness is because of leaving STC (STC sickness :P) and happiness is because of going to Bangalore. I think I would have done something good in past because whenever I wish a thing, that will happen somehow. Thing is if I really want something, I will get it. :) :P. I madly wished to go to Bangalore, I got posting over there and I will be going there in couple of days. I am fortunate enough to turn up the things into my favor, will and wish. ATTITUDE RELOADED!!!!
