And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.Geetanjali Junejahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06394994747473420861noreply@blogger.comBlogger30125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420609734206460143.post-16814361855551018342014-03-08T23:01:00.001+05:302014-03-10T23:25:26.447+05:30The Unfinished Trip.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<o:p> </o:p>#travelsmartwithskyscanner being organised by SkyScanner is one hell of an Indiblogger event. I
have spent the last 2 days going through albums of my travel vacations with
friends and family. And trust me, I feel like I have revisited all these places
during this short span of time. I could feel the chill I felt when I walked off
the Gondola at Gulmarg, the utter not-a-care in the world attitude of biking on Goa beaches with the waves gently crashing against the tyres, the
hurriedness of my Rishikesh trip, the fatigue of Vaishno Devi trek and
the absolute bliss of a crackling bonfire at Patnitop.All this from just revisiting photographic memories. And then I stumbled across my Trip to
the North East.</div>

A little Background before I dive into this blog post. I was admitted into a
college in Sikkim, packed my bags and left for the North-East to be a resident - not a traveler. With my first glimpse of the rainforest on the meandering roads
from New Jalpaiguri to Gangtok, I was hooked. Such beauty, yet untouched by
man. The mighty Brahmaputra prancing along the road. I was mesmerised. I thought
to myself, “I am going to be here for the next 4 years. Plenty of time for
exploring this place” Gosh I have never been more wrong. Got admitted to DCE a few days later and came back by to Delhi by the
next flight available. Exploration plans all chucked right out the window. Ever since then, there has been a
running joke in my family that one day I will go back to get the stuff I had forgotten while leaving in a hurry. Me and my dad (who had accompanied me on this trip by the way) have made many plans to visit the North East ever since. 2014 seems like the year we might get the travelling actually done.
Who knows, we may walk over to Beijing as well. No harm dreaming, right folks?</div>

But the catch is it’s too far away. Sikkim, I meant. And that makes the journey too long by
train and too expensive by air for those of us languishing in middle class . But hope is at hand. This time I am going
to #travelsmartwithskyscanner. With a little planning and a lot of help from the very smart SkyScanner app on my phone, I can manage the trip well within my budgetary and time constraints.How? Well, I have been browsing the “<a href="http://www.skyscanner.co.in/">Skyscanner</a>” website for the months and dates for cheapest air fare. I am going
to make a reservation months in advance (way to show commitment) which makes it
a lot more budget friendly. It saves me money and makes planning for the trip a
lot more relaxed affair.Though I might have to skip my walking over into China aspect of the trip (Chuckles).<br />
But jokes aside , the plan is to "Plan Ahead". </div>

<br />
Now comes the second most costly aspect of a vacation. Hotel Stay. I have realised that hotels (which account for 20-30% of Vacation
expenditure) can be cut down with one easy step. Pre-meditate and Negotiate. So
here I am looking for Hotel listings on<a href="http://www.skyscanner.co.in/hotels.html"> this site</a> and making calls to hotels now for booking deals months away. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Now that I know the tentative months I can get a bargain deal in, I am going to
decide the exact timing of my trip. How? Blind guessing? No ways. Why go all this way
if you had to blind guess eventually.I will look for two things. Weather and
special events. I have been googling incessantly (yes, a lot of free time at my
hand) and realised that monsoon months and winters are kind of a no-go time to
the north-east. That would mean no trip September onwards. So here’s a tip to
travel smart “Research your vacation spot”. You wouldn't want to be caught in a
torrid downpour on your visit until you are visiting cherapunjee(which used to be wettest
region of earth). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Second thing will be to inquire about events organised by the state tourism
departments,this can be done easily on the internet by emails or checking out advertisements on travel forums. I have
been in situations where I arrive one day too late for a spectacular cultural event for tourists or am scheduled to leave one day too early. This one day could have made the
difference between a good trip and an unforgettable trip. Another thing I
noticed about travelling in the north-east is that the more you can research
about your probable destinations, the easier it will be for you to deal with unforeseeable phenomenon like road disturbances due to landslides etc.<br />
<br />
I am looking out for friends in the North - East too. People I know who can plan their home trips back with me. Apart from the convenience of company and somebody who is a native, it also allows for a better understanding of their culture and society.This way I wont just look at the mountains but also understand the songs that echo in them.<br />
<br />
So by following these tiny steps I am going to travel smart. I am gonna plan. Sit down and
#travelsmartwithskyscanner. Because the beauty of living in the moment comes
from the security of knowing that the worst has been accounted for. It’s not me
who’s saying this. Somebody said it long ago.Al<span style="text-align: center;">l </span><span style="text-align: center;">I care for is my quest to revel in the beauty of the north-east,sneak into Sikkim
again & Complete that unfinished trip. </span></div>

Latrines. Toilet.Basic sanitation. Or As we like to call it,
in the civilized way “Washroom”. A basic amenity of life awarded to all in this
modern world. Or so I had thought. For
it does not take a lot to make one. A small enclosure, some basic plumbing and
voila, a basic latrine is ready. No longer will the women of your household
have to defecate in the open at the price of public shame and insecurity. No
longer will they be and other members of the house be exposed to diseases due
to the unsanitary conditions.NO longer will anybody have to make long arduous
treks into the wild. Seems just the
right thing to do? Right?<br />
<br />
Yes it does. But what do you do when the money you earn is barely sufficient to
feed you .What do you do when the choice is between necessities like food-clothing
and a basic amenity like sanitation. In these conditions sanitation becomes a
luxury. And it is this story that I have brought to you. Story of Manimegalai,
Amirdham, Amudha, Chellam, and Alamelu. 5 women who have taken it upon
themselves to bring water supply and sanitation closer to their home.<br />

Amirdham, Amudha, Chellam, and Alamelu live in the rural area of Musiri in the
Tiruchirapalli district of Tamil Nadu. They are agricultural laborers who work
hard to supplement the incomes their husbands bring in, and to provide a decent
future for their children. The area they live in has a water supply located
about 1000 meters from their homes, and the closest public latrine is 500
meters away. As a result, clean and fresh water is scarce, and they have to
depend on the surrounding shrubbery or the darkness at night for privacy to
relieve themselves in unhygienic conditions. Consequently, they are subject to
illnesses multiple times a year, and the monthly medical bills eat into their
meager savings. They seek a loan of Rs.30,000, payable over 18 months, to build
a toilet for Manimegalai’s family, and to install water connections for the
rest of the group’s homes. This loan will allow their families access to the
dignity and basic necessity of sanitation and water in their homes.”<br />
<br />
I have taken up this project not only because I believe basic sanitation is a
basic amenity everybody should be provided. But also because, I believe we
could complete this project that isRaise enough fund for these women to have a
toilet that would give them respect, security, and health. A lot of things from simple toilet.<br />
How can it happen? The reach of my blog is 1000 odd people. Over 200 of them
women. If we can donate 500 each, We will complete this loan. We will help make
a tangible difference in the lives of these women. I am making it personal, I
am making it about what YOU can do. You, right there, reading this blog. It
would be just a missed dinner outing to you, but would mean the world to these
women. For women everywhere, from us for them.<br />

<b><span style="color: purple;">Hello folks. I'm back with a traveling post this time. I was just flipping through my photos and suddenly I remembered my younger cousin sisters who live in Dehradun. I know this post is bit late but as it is said "It's better to be late than never". Just after my birthday I happened to visit Dehradun in December 2012. I travelled all alone for the first time. Yes, ALL ALONE! ;)</span></b></blockquote>
<b><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: purple;">I have been to Dehradun twice before but this trip was a <i>memorable</i> one for me as I could explore the city well and in the mean time I had spend my NEW YEAR up there in the hills with my little cousins! I caught my train from Delhi and imagine my situation that my seat was not confirmed and on the top of it travelling alone. Moreover, a generous handsome man gave his seat to me. I couldn't thank him enough. I made friends too en route. Reached at night around 9.30pm and was picked up by my relatives there. It was too cold, I remember I wore 2 jackets and 3 pairs of socks (I'm not kidding!) and was still <i>FREEZING</i>!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: red;">DAY 1</span> : Anyways the next day, all refreshed up. I visited the famous <i>SAI TEMPLE</i> with my cousins. It was so divine believe me, I was all calm and relaxed.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: red;">DAY 2 </span>: The next day weather was amazing so we thought to go a bit far off temple which was <i>BUDDHA TEMPLE</i> in Clement Town. It was bit far off from my place where I was staying. This was one kind of temple I would have never imagined. It was awestruck by its beauty. I loved visiting this one. If you ever go Dehradun please don't miss it for sure. It's a must see temple!</span></b><br />

I could just catch up the train at the neck of time! It was fun. How rapidly these 4 days went away. I still miss every moment of them. Late night talks, new year celebrations, my little cousins cooking for me, blah, blah everything! I miss them so much. Hope to celebrate my New Year this time too with them in the hills.</span></b><br />

a corner of the world, I witness the flashes of past memories and the
only question that arises in my mind is about how everything completely
changed it self. I'm at the same place where I stood last year but with
new people and different circumstances. The reality of life is that no
matter how much I try to deny the fact, nothing remains the same
with the passage of time. Time is what rules our life and its
totally inevitable. Its like I was dreaming for the whole time, when
awoke, the harsh reality took over cause the time had already played its
game. Its hard to believe how life changed me and my priorities, and I
got so involved into it that I don't even have time for those who once
ruled my life. </span></span></span></b></i></h3>

<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Now, I've realized the importance of my past once it
turned into a memory. Frankly, we humans are very insatiable and we're
never satisfied with what ever is going on. But once, that phase of life
is over, and you look back at it, past seems to be everything I've ever
wanted. Everything has changed. Those close ones are like strangers now
because someone else took their place, but there are no regrets
because that's how it is. At the end of the day, you just stand in the
corner, and stare at the whole new world full of memories from the past
and there's nothing you can do about it. </span></span></span></b></i></h3>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Hello!
I'M GOING TO BLOG MORE OFTEN, GUYS! Eh, why do I see frustrated faces? Yes I remember I have a blog. I am blogging after a year (YES YOU READ
RIGHT.. A YEAR!!). Sorry guys have been so much busy with my stuff and
all so finally thought to blog today.<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">You guys must jump around the room 'cause yes, I am going to blog more
often. :D</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br />
Okay, dont jump around. =(</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The only problem being, I am having a bit of a straightface phase and therefore might, I repeat, might <u>sound</u>
a tad bit too. Long social theory behind it. Sigh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am slowly slipping into the
no-contact zone. :) Last time I did that, it was merely out of sheer
boredom. This time, it's out of fedup-dom. I need to vent it out
somewhere, and hence I figured I had to had to blog more often.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anyway. I'm giving myself a
month. I am as puzzled in my head as I sound. I can't think clearly and
steadily. I need a brain-wash. You know, like a car-wash? I need to
shove a to-do list into my face. I need to sleep and wake up happy. I
need to get done with my french classes and probably not meet people for a
bit. I have a feeling days are going to be tough.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, see you guys around more often than more often? :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">I

<b>"All the world's a stage,</b><br />
<b>And all the men and women merely players:</b><br />
<b>They have their exits and their entrances;</b><br />
<b>And one man in his time plays many parts"</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Shakespeare said that...let’s see how it applies in the normal college life... </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>A normal day in the normal college :p I am in the class, as usual not paying attention and lost in my own world of thoughts and words in a corner scribbling away to glory and half heartedly listening to what our guest faculty has to say.</b><br />
<b>Someone is playing with her pen, the tic-tac echoing around. There are people playing with their hair, some reading a book, a murmur of silence surrounds the whole classroom. </b><br />
<b>The backbenchers are as usual sitting behind. Discussing some things (I leave the topic of discussion for the readers to guess, but mind it, it was nowhere near boring). A giggle here, a giggle there, fills the whole back of the classroom. </b><br />
<b>The geeks a.k.a speckyees (now replaced by lenses) are sitting in front glued to every word he utters, noting down every syllable, every sigh, every a, an ,the, mentioned. The sleepers of the class a.k.a getting –bored-not-interested- are yawning and already half asleep, fighting to keep their eyes open and half of them perched on their neighbour’s shoulders. Suddenly they slip down the shoulder and realise that they are ain class and thus the lost fight to not sleep begins again. </b><br />
<b>Then there are the second or the third benchers, mediocre writing at times and at times looking bored, basically they are just confused wondering whether to be the geek or the outrageous back bencher. These are also known as the average normal kids. Then there are the male starved females (couldn’t find a better term) , who for today are next to the front benchers, batting their eyelashes , a half smile on their faces, pretending to be glued to every word said, lips tucked behind their teeth , they kind of swooning , as if every word he’s saying is the elixir of life. </b><br />
<b>Then the usual wannabees, fashionistas, jocks, nerds, all who need no introduction. Then the lovers without whom every class is incomplete. Who may be not sitting very close, are exchanging glances and smiles whose meaning only they know. Exchanging whispers, stares and smiles, oblivious to anything happening, around, just existing for each other. As cheesy as it sounds. It’s completely true. </b><br />
<b>A joke suddenly cracked bonding the whole class, while it lasts, every one listening to the same thing for a while, forgetting their roles in the class and being just a simple student for once. Well that it. </b><br />
<b>A subtotal of everyone present.</b><br />
<b>And then last but not the least “me”. What am I? In which category do I fall into? What am I doing here not concentrating on the lecture and observing the around and writing. Well you could say just a simple crazy foolish intelligent WORDISTA... </b><br />

<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Smiling Forever !!!</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>It's now I realised the heavy words " If you think you can , you can.If you think you can't,you can't"</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>I am going through this wonderful book by Rhonda Byrne " The Secret " which claims to change our lives.Life has all of a sudden become so easy..All I need to get anything in this Universe is "Think".</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>The Universe which works like a Genie for us.It says "Your wish is my Command".</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>So,when I hold on to negative thoughts , the universe conspires to bring all negative circumstances,negative incidents and events in my life.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>All we need to do is Imagine ourselves enjoying the things we really desire in our lives !!! Be Grateful towards God for all that you have received than ever complaining about things you do not have.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Its a secret being carried forward since ages.All religious books and Great Legends have tried to explain us this phenomena.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>It really works !!! I have tried it myself !!!</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>God have sent us all to do only what we want to do.There is no blackboard where he wrote "Geetanjali Juneja would be Blogging "It is me who thought and it became a Reality.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Its amazing to feel yourself like a Magnet which attracts what you think about the most...You can have anything in this world,All you need to do is Be what you want to be.Visualise ,Create pictures in your mind and the Universe would bring it back to you as you Future pictures.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>If you can feel the Positivity in my words,Just go grasp a copy of "The Secrets "or "The monk who sold his Ferrari".</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Feel yourself the Creator of you future...Just draw beautiful pictures in your life and see them as Reality.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Let Universe decide HOW ,all you got to do is Think..Think...and Think.....</b></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Its all in a silent tear....which makes its way down....clenching the heart gripped in pain and unbearable agony...when night comes...and everything is calm..with no one around....it comes out from it hiding place bringing with it the first sense of being alive...it hurts! It hurts damn bad...drowning in the bottomless pit of agony i let my tears purge me...to cleanse my soul of all the wrongs done to me...i swear a thousand promises and a thousand more...but i succumb time after time...despite knowing the fate...and when the tears put up an appearance i know i have failed yet again...hurt increases manifolds and agony rips me apart....silence of the night is punctuated by my muted uncontrollable sobs....a never ending charade it is...tears!tears!tears it is, that makes an outlet of escape....betrayal, misconceptions, desertion all find escape through tears...tears of pain....puffy eyes and soggy pillow sheets..yes these are tears of pain...pain that makes your heart burn with anguish,the numbness that spreads through your veins and the tears that washes all desolation away...</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Night after night...i toss and turn....i bury my face into the softness of my pillow and in comfort of my bed....i let the darkness soothe my senses....i let the go of the bottled emotion within me....i allow the memories to resurface..and the pain,flow....then wave after wave....in torrents they come....coursing its way down my face....i clutch my sheets...and let it all go...i let the tears flow....images flash in my eye...words ring in my ears....heart wrenches a notch more...i cling to my sanity....i hold on to the hope...i cry silently...as the pain and hurt overpowers me.....in the darkness of the night my grief finds expression in the tears of pain!</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">In the light if the day...tears of pain masqueraded in smiles and good cheer...pain is forgotten even if momentarily in chores and errands....laughter drowns the cries within...but when the day runs its course....and the night sets in.....with people turning in...their crawl out from their hiding places...tears of pain...soon the sobs subside...and slumber looms ahead threateningly...tears dry leaving its soggy trails...as a new day dawns...pain lurks into the retreating shadows...as i let myself drift into that sweet haven of respite from this harsh harsh world !!</span></b></div>

<h1 style="color: purple;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Teenagers: How to Stay Healthy</span></b></h1>
<div style="color: purple; float: none;">
<h3>
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Will the habits I have now really make a difference when I'm older?</span></b></h3>
<div class="text">
<b>Yes, 65% of all deaths in adults are caused by heart disease, cancer and stroke. In many cases, these diseases were preventable. Many of the behaviors that cause these diseases begin at a young age. For example, if you use tobacco as a teenager, you're more likely to get heart disease, cancer or stroke when you're an adult.</b></div>
<div class="text">
<div style="float: none;">
<h3>
<b><span style="font-size: small;">What can I do now to keep myself healthy?</span></b></h3>
<ul class="disc">
<li><b>Avoid using any type of tobacco product. Try not to breathe second hand cigarette smoke.</b></li>
<li><b>Get regular exercise.</b></li>
<li><b>Eat a healthy diet.</b></li>
<li><b>Always use your seat belt.</b></li>
<li><b>Don't drink and drive. Don't get into a car with a driver who has been drinking alcohol or using drugs.</b></li>
<li><b>Wear protective headgear, such as motorcycle or bike helmets, when participating in sports.</b></li>
<li><b>Never swim alone.</b></li>
<li><b>Talk to your parents or your doctor if you're feeling really sad or if you're thinking about harming yourself.</b></li>
<li><b>Avoid situations where violence or fighting may cause you to be physically injured.</b></li>
<li><b>If you have sex, use condoms to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. (Remember, however, the "safest" sex is no sex.)</b></li>
<li><b>See your doctor regularly.</b></li>
</ul>
<b><br />
</b><br />
<div style="float: none;">
<h3>
<b><span style="font-size: small;">What might my doctor do?</span></b></h3>
<div class="text">
<b>The doctor might do any of the following to help you stay healthy :</b></div>
<div class="text">
<ul class="disc">
<li><b>Determine your risk for certain health problems.</b></li>
<li><b>Measure your height, weight, cholesterol levels and blood pressure.</b></li>
<li><b>Order tests to check your general health or to find certain diseases.</b></li>
<li><b>Provide immunizations ("shots" or "vaccines") to reduce your risk of getting diseases such as mumps, tetanus and hepatitis.</b></li>
</ul>
<b><br />
</b><br />
<div style="float: none;">
<h3>
<b><span style="font-size: small;">At my age, what should I especially be concerned about?</span></b></h3>
</div>
<div class="text">
<b>Car accidents, unintentional physical injury, homicide and suicide are the top killers of teenagers and young adults. Cancer and heart disease can also affect you at this age. Unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (including HIV and AIDS) can cause you social and personal problems, in addition to harming your health.</b></div>
<div class="text">
<b><br />
</b><br />
<div style="float: none;">
<h3>
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Do young men have different health risks than young women?</span></b></h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="text">
<b>Yes. Young men don't wear seat belts as often as young women do. They're also more likely to carry weapons, to get into physical fights, to use smokeless tobacco or marijuana, to drink alcohol heavily, and to have more sexual partners. On the other hand, young women have some special risks. They try to commit suicide more often and they try to lose weight in harmful ways more often than young men.</b></div>
<div style="float: none;">
<h3>
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Should I talk to my doctor if I'm worried about my health or my body?</span></b></h3>
</div>
<b><br />
</b><br />
<div class="text">
<b>Yes. It's important to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns about your health or your body. Your doctor is there to help you.</b></div>

Each one of us needs a change in the course of time. Then why are PEOPLE excepted to not change? They are a portion of this Universe which is meant to change.</span></b></div>

<div style="color: purple; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">The world is like that as they say. One fine day, you wake up and realize that people close to you have changed. They are not as they used to be. It hurts inside. Doesn't it? Is that because of the expectations you have out of them? Probably yes.</span></b></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Everyday, we meet new people. Life goes on. Some people stay, some leave. Of those, we chose the people who should stay and who should leave. There are times, when people we want to stay, leave. Also, there are times, when people we wanted to leave, stay.</span></b></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">It a circle. its the same for others. Some people want us to stay and some want us to leave. We choose to leave some, we stay with others.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Before you tell someone that they have changed, for one second consider. Question yourself. Are you the same for them? Haven't you changed a bit?</span></b></div>

<div style="color: purple; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Every one a justification for the change they have brought in themselves. But when it comes to others, it gets in-digestible. Why do we expect others to remain the same for us if we have changed ourselves to them?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Not fair.</span></b></div>

<div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Farah Khan Ali.....the name itself speaks too much...</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">She is a sister, daughter, wife, friend, mother, lover and the endless list goes on... </span></b></div>
<b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well professionally she is a Jewellery Designer and a Gemologist. She is been such an inspirational friend specially for me and for millions of people. She has very innovative ideas. She is Sussanne's ( Hrithik Roshan's wife ) sister.</span></span></b><br />
<b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></span></b><br />
<b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was on 12th December 2009 that I made my twitter account and I followed her firstly. I just normally send her a tweet that " How r u dear ? " and then I went to her profile and saw that she was replying to her friends, so i tweeted once again to her " Plz rpl to me too m wtng :) ". After sometime I got a Direct Message from her saying " Hello Darling..welcome to the world of tweeting n I shall reply u as many times as i can but sometime it gets hectic. " And let me tell you she has approx. 31,000 followers till now and she never lets her followers down, she replies to each and every person, if she is busy she will DM you. </span></span></b><br />
<b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></span></b><br />
<b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was pleased to get a DM frm her. From this day onwards we were in regular contact. On 18th Dec. it was my b'day and I cudn't believe that she wished me and even she told all her followers to wish me. This was my first great day. Then we were always in regular contact with each other. </span></span></b><br />
<b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></span></b><br />
<b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was April 2010. Farah was been chosen as " Wills Lifestyle Twitter Face ". Her addiction to twitter had so great effect. The Wills Lifestyle shows were to begin from 24th Apr. - 30th Apr.'2010. On 23rd she had to announce the passes for the shows and I was the luckiest one as I was the first one to get the pass for the show. I was really excited to meet her. Finally it was 24th Apr. and my excitement was too much that I can't describe it in words.</span></span></b><b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I firstly met one of my friend <a href="http://twitter.com/paavani">Paavani</a></span></span></b><b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> there. Then at about 2.30pm, I finally met Farah outside the venue as there were some security problems on the first day. It was unbelievable for me to meet such a sweet, caring friend of mine. We met for about half an hour, talked on various issues and finally had to bid goodbye to each other and she hugged me( while she hugged me i was about to faint lol...it was such an warm hug and i enjoyed it :p ) and while bidding goodbye to each other she said " I LOVE U TOO MUCH..YOU ARE A DOLL..JUST MAKE YOUR PARENTS PROUD ALWAYS AND U WOULD BE LOVED BY EVERYONE ". THESE LINES ARE ALWAYS MY INSPIRATION.</span></span></b><br />

<b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></span></b><br />
<b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As there were some issues on the first day, no shows were held. So I was the most luckiest, as I had an chance to meet her again for the second time. On 25th she called me and told me that u are invited tomorrow too. I was in tears, was so happy that i would be meeting my friend again..finally on 26th at 3pm I met her and met my friends <a href="http://twitter.com/rajnisingh125">Rajni </a>and <a href="http://twitter.com/aashish_27">Ashish</a> there too. Uff !! was so luckiest and the way she deals with thousands of people is simply amazing..hv no words again. She loves each and every tweeple of hers too much. And most importantly she remembers every one of us by our names. I was just shocked to see how sharp and long lasting her memory was !! And finally on 3rd may she started following me..i was too lucky to get all your love n hugs too :p .</span></span></b><br />

<div style="color: #741b47;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">The tradition of Mothers Day started with the ancient Greeks who celebrated their annual spring festival in honor of Rhea, the mother of many Gods and Goddesses in the Greek mythology. Ancient Romans too celebrated a spring festival by the name of Hilaria in honor of Cybele, a mother goddess, some 250 years before Christ was born. </span></b></div><b><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: small;">Mother's Day is celebrated on second Sunday of May.The festival of Pâthâre Prabhu is celebrated on the same day only in Bombay and the Southern part of India . The Pathare prabhu caste always celebrates this holiday.It is based on a legend about a mother whose children kept dying after only one year of living and it has a very remote origin. Although it's also called "Mother's Day", it is unrelated to the modern celebration, which is copied from the US (second Sunday of May) and is celebrated in the whole country.</span></b><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-solomon_28-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day#cite_note-solomon-28"></a></sup><br />

</b></div><div style="color: purple;"><b><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd."<br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.<br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">My heart went out to him. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face.<br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.<br />
<br />
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends. He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.<br />
<br />
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscle with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books.<br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on <st1:city w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on">Georgetown</st1:place></st1:city>, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship.<br />
<br />
Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak. Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous.<br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"<br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said.<br />
<br />
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."<br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.<br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."<br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.<br />
<br />
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others. </span></i></b></div><div style="color: purple;"><b><br />
