That's It...!

A spark is all you need to kindle an eager young heart

A smile is all it takes to ignite the feeling at war

The impatience to connect from afar

Is what I wanted from the very start!

For years together

A song in my heart I sing to you

Hoping you’d be the one

I’d start a life again 

Only to have her in my life I hope

Nothing more I want but a scope

I never said I wanted a princess

But I asked for an angel I could impress

Waiting for the one

My eyes tire

Life is,

But a wire

Bend it, Mend it 

Love it, Mould it

But do not waste it

Until you have lived it

And then she came into my life

Telling me she was my only wife

But hey who is the other beloved

I did not know life was flooded

Looks are deceiving

But my heart is receiving

I know not the trick

What gives the feeling!

Just another boy

I’m broken and coy

No looks I have

But love to share

Why me I thought

Until that day

Where tips I caught

For the other way.

Life is now

A lavish dream

A heart break is all

It took for a realm 

My Family My friends!

Often we have this conflict in our teenage lives as to who are our friends and who are not, who should we trust and who we cannot? Who do we hangout with? Why can't I take decisions and why our parents make them for us? Well in the teenage years we often forget how to behave like teens and struggle to be older much faster. Well here is a short play I scripted for all the teens like me who I am sure have faced similar situations in life. Enjoy reading this guys and comment at the end this article.

With the nerdy cousins and old granny.. her parents and aunts and uncles.. Simone is glad that her 21st birthday is a memorable one.. All thanks to her family.

I hope with this short skit I was able to send across a message most teens face today. It is very important every teen knows how to nurture and grow as individual with the right teen spirit .An attempt that is hopefully inspirational.If you like it please do post inn your comments. 

Ps: * This was enacted for a competition at I.C Parish Borivali, Mumbai , Maharashtra, India.

Deanery Youth Day at Don Bosco Parish, Borivali (west)

 A funfilled day with loads of leassons to take home with us. “Life of Faith” this was our theme for the day and evrything evolved around just this phrase. We began with praise and worship hymns and danced to them as well. It was conducted by the don borsco choir group. We then had a small prayer session followed by a shrt talk by Fr. Byron  on the theme i.e “Life of Faith.” He explained o us with the help of videos and short stories and live testimonials how faith plays an important role in our lives. How Prayer is the most powerful weapon in your Good times as well as bad. Our Father is with us always in our good and bad , if only we bother to call on him. We then had Fr.allwyn, Fr Melroy and Fr.Byron celebrate the eucharist and it was a wonderful spiritual cekebration. After which the I.C dynamics as they call us conducted afew indoor and outdoor games for all and everyone enjoyed. We winded the day with a lot of dancing and not just dancing we danced in the rain! Thank you Fr. Melroy, for encouraging us to participate in this event and also Royston and team who helped out with everything from registrations to the conductng of the games. 

Moments!

Store it in a bottle never let it go ,
Play it when you feel like pause it while you grown.

Stays for a lifetime
Fades really slow....

They are memories!
That's all we really know.

When everything seems to have lost sight
Memories is all that remains to help fight

These are the moments
I would die to keep...!

All a Dancer wants...!

We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.  ~Japanese Proverb
So lets juts get the little dancer in each of us and move to the groove.
Dancing isn't just about making moves and jumping and showing off how much you can stretch.

It's About letting the little dancer soul inside you just set free and just loosen up, just speak out loud what you can't say in words.

Dance is all about entering a new world all together, a world of rhythm and movements,
A world so beautiful that you wouldn't want to stop until your feet hurt and keep on moving to show the world what you've got until you really have it.

Dance is not just who you are its how you define yourself....
Its all a dancer (I) want ....

Just to be in a moment of those movements,
Just to be right there where it's all loud and fine,
Just to dance to forget all the sadness that I have....
To put away all the tension that grabs my heart
All the hurt that covers me like a dark cloud...
To feel so complete that I don't need no love...
Just to not care about what everyone have to say about how I am and who I am,
What i do and where I go ...!
Coz Dance is what leads me anywhere I go and anything I do...!
It's just for Dance...!

I love you my lil brother

You were a baby when I was one too….
17 yrs before there came a devil to accompany me
Back then with your broken tooth and your awesome curly hair
Oh how we loved the bear

My golu motu fatty
Is now a skinny patty
Oh how I miss my ear being twisted
Coz now I barely get a hug
That’s totally restricted …!

Life is a growing cycle
Can’t stop much but
Hey ur 17 and thats too much …!

Well now that you have a new beginning
Lemme tell you this :

There r many fishes in the sea …
There are many wild creatures that ull see…

There are many devils around you
And angels to protect you…

But my bro, it’s all up to U…!

Speak , and ill be there to listen ,
Cry , and ill be there to wipe your tear
Search and ill be right besides you ,
Smile and ill smile with you

And last but not the least just share ur pain and ill take it all…

I may have shared a lil more love with others than you
But I certainly can’t give others your share of love
“I” first belong to you and then to the world

I LOVE U

Do we have a new jargon language...!

Is this where we are heading? A new language all together?  A language best know in the virtual world.

In this 21st century of technology , life is getting more complicated and machine made. Will there be communication like before or are we gonna have a special gym to get those lips moving all the time? I'm sure its a moving world a fast track world really. 

This language has blown off minds of many including me sometimes. It gets really hard to communicate and understand what the opposite person needs to convey. Well but that's the trend buddy!

Its sad to see how the world is getting this addicted to cell phones and this language, more so that people use this jargon in the professional world as well to blow of minds of the seniors.

Cellphones were made for connecting and not for creating a jargon that has disturbed a lot. Well what can one say? There are 2 sides of the same coin, one good the other not so good.

Where on one side people get furious with this language the other side it creates magic during defense in love. LOL... I must say... you can really have secrets once you know this language. An epic structure, hard but yet very fascinating. Imagine someone older to you reading this I'm sure they will be astonished and ROFL... at this. 

Well pro's  and con's shall continue, who can u blame for starters, allowing only 160 to 120 characters per message, oh yes! "CELLPHONES"

All I can say is enjoy chatting and keep Learning. Learn to avoid furious time by avoiding this jargon.

This table down below may help you a bit,check it out.

Have a great time guys...!  

ROFL	Rolling On the Floor Laughing
WTF	What the F**k

CYA	See Ya/ You

Relationships

We all have assignment in the life we are gifted , don't we? Well creating bonds and relationships are one of those heavy assignments. Someone once told me, "The way we are born with some relations and how we make some is what life is all about..As time goes by the taste of relationships change, they either increases or become more sweet or salty by the years ... well it only depends on what we add to it daily." 

We make relations every minute as a new born or as a child, as a youth or as an elder. Every minute of your life we meet different people, at the park or at the grocery store, in the bus or the trains, around us or away from us also.  Some relations are sweet like cola, some bitter like a karela... not forgetting the ones that are young and bubbly and also old and grumpy ... they all have one thing in common i.e love, trust and understanding. It is the most beautiful part of a human's life and we should learn to live it to the fullest.

From over the years I have learned the recipe for a good and a healthy relationship, and it includes a mixture of long lasting love, terrific trust and unending understanding. In this world of technology and comfort, relation seem so hard and difficult to tackle. I repeatedly ask myself why does this happen .... why is it that relations barely last in today's generations, why are there so many divorces and break ups and so many murders and killing for money .... why is the world this insecure...? is there no one left to trust anymore...?

Take it up, achallenge for yourself how good and how bad this world can get to you. Life is a mere stage  where we perform and are being under a constant judgement. It's all up to us, how to make, mold, attract and blend each and every relation  of our life.

In my life, I have come across many relationships, be it friends, be it families, be it best friends forever or love and hatred. Its all a mixture of emotions in my life. This journey I have set out on in my life has been incredible and very exciting. Found many people in life, some who care less, some who care way too much, some who are blunt and some who are soft. A mixture of all these are also available when you get out. It's just the way you handle and tackle these situations. Relationships are delicate but not impossible to handle.

Every step we take to make a relationship stronger, we take a step towards inner peace and a better living. Never loose hope on what you have just keep growing and moving forward, time is your master just go with it and it will teach you beautiful things.Never give up on your life.

So let's create memories and make a beautiful  relation, some to remember some to cherish and never forget. Let's create a better place to live inn with the most beautiful relations of our life we have been gifted.

IF...

If

If you wonder where I belong...!
It's right here.
If you wonder what I do...!
It's just dance.

If you wonder why I do it....!

It's what defines me.

If I just wonder to myself …
It would be in movement I dance
If I look at myself…
I would be swaying to the rhythm
If I talk to myself…
I would be singing while I sway

It’s what I do the best
As I leave the rest
To give a test
For me to just to wait and see
What’s next ?

"VIBRANT"- It's what they say...!

" Vibrance " - is that what i want to hear ...? or is it something much more....?

What i expect of myself is just what every other dance does...!

Then why do i lie behind if i am one of the vibrant ones..? why can't I fly high to touch the sky....?

Who says you can't touch the sky while you're on the ground...!

Who says you can't dance if you have two left feet...!

Who says you're just another dancing fool...!

Who says what are you doing, if you care to live.....!

Well ...! wanna know...?

It's simply "YOU"

YOU create the vibrance in your self,

YOU create the obstruction that you talk about,

YOU create an inner boundary to not fly that high staying really low,

YOU become your own enemy.

Indeed a VIBRANT one...!

This is a part of me and a many more like me, who are out there in this cruel world. Those, who have it but just cannot show it ... Those, who want it but can't find it....Those many, who have it and yet can't achieve it.... !

Why, Why are those "those" there. Are we there where we just should not be...?

It's all I can say to save my day. This is what I know and you should too....!

Find your true "VIBRANCE" You'll see it soon for real.

The irony of life on the crossroads, Living on the edge talking a walk of life

Is it my look , or me...?

What do i see...?

Is it me or just the breeze
where does it lead...?

Is it I or they are just fine...?
who can i find...?

Is it me or just another you?
Why do i cry?

Those eye they tell, a story untold.
Those lips can speak, a love foretold.
Those ears have heard, the words unspoken
That mind has gone nothing, but broken.

Where do we go from here
What should we find from here
Why should we be right here
When is there gonna be a here ?


I stand to fly high
They cut my wings,
I run fast
the hurdle it down,
I walk up straight
they push me out,

Is it my look , or me...?
What do i see...?

Is it me or just the breeze
where does it lead...?

Is it I or they are just fine...?
who can i find...?

Is it me or just another you?
Why do i cry?

And I Love the rainy nights....

Rain Rain don’t go away, come in a package that doesn’t throw Mumbai away....!

Mumbai - A place I love to be in the rains.

The nasty people, with their awful attitude...!

But hey wait ...! There is the lovely train rainy journey, the amazing Wet mud and the yummy yummy junk food....! Ooh....! I can never see the bad with all of this good...

Well, there are 2 sides of the same coin to everything on this planet earth!

Mumbai is a city that never sleeps, we all know of this to be true. Mumbai has a fast speedy life where there is no time to breath, there is no time to freeze and surely no place for breeze ....It’s a fire from the out, a lightening All year around, it’s called Mumbai Nagaria.

The monsoon in Mumbai it’s like a torture to all the mumbaikars, but hey who cares... we love the rains anyways...and no one waits for the rains more than the farmers of this land.  The weather automatically just changes like you never expected.

Love is all around in the monsoon and is more beautiful than it could ever be. This time of the year is romantic and pleasing. A lot happens over monsoon! Love just blossoms.... It’s more like heaven on earth.

Suddenly all the vada pav, bhajias and the hot snacks taste yummier than ever. The cutting chai, just sets your feelings to the top, a great comfort in the rains is the tea/ coffee that is prepared, could be at home by your mother or out at a tiny little stall. Mumbai loves food and food loves Mumbai. Well as I said love just blossoms in the rains and so does the love for food.

Getting drenched in the rain is a lot fun and a great experience. 

The little rains drops keep falling on your beautiful skin makes you feel as young and as beautiful as ever.  Well you start to feel blessed when those showers are right on you ... the cold blowing weather gives an inner peace ....they say that the first rains are one of the most amazing feelings . The lovely sawaan ke gaaane(music  based on rains) that we listen to on radio gives a whole new meaning to monsoon ...

So tada, I shall go enjoy the rains while you read this and get inspired to get drenched like I am ...  Have fun.

Happy monsoon...!

A little dancer within you.....

We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.  ~Japanese Proverb

So let’s just get the little dancer in each of us out and move to the groove.

Dancing isn’t just about making moves and jumping and showing off, or how much you can stretch.

 It's about letting the little dancer soul inside you just set free and just loosen up; just speak out loud what you can't say in words.

 Dance is all about entering a new world all together, a world of rhythm and movements,
A new world so beautiful that you wouldn’t want to stop until your feet hurt and keep moving to show the world what you’ve got until you really have it.
Dance is not just who you are, it’s how you define yourself....
It’s all a dancer wants....

Just to be in a moment of those movements,
Just to be right there where it's all loud and fine,
Just to dance to forget all the sadness that I have....
Dance to put away all the tension that grabs my heart...
Dance to uncover the dark cloud surrounding me...
To feel so complete like I have never before...

Just to not care about what everyone have to say about how I am and who I am,

What I do and where I go...!

Coz Dance is what leads me anywhere I go and anything I do...!

It's just for Dance...!

I do what I do; I say what I have to,

Every move I make, every step I shall take

Will be a beginning of a new life,

A new step to the world filled with dancers…

SO DANCE LIKE A LITTLE FOOL <3

It's fun to have you with me.

Life is a mystery box you never know what comes and what goes, neither do u know when and how? 

All you have to do is wait and explore....

My life is precisely like that and I'm sure most of you feel the same. Wasting your precious time wanting to know the future is totally ridiculous....Life is best when filled with surprises. It feels good to have a pop up just when you never expected it to happen. My life has thrown disastrous bombs on me and they are fun to handle whether good or bad. It has given me a sheer learning experience till date. whats a ride without so,me twist and turns and wiggles and giggles on the way? Meeting strangers , Birthday surprises, Prays and prizes , Live king sizes.... look around and you'll feel the difference. Look around and you'll Love where you belong, just peep through and see the rainbow. Don't feel low , don't feel high either ...just live right... a mixture, a blend of all the good and bad. Remember miracles do happen,just when you have lost all hopes ... so just don'tloose any hope stay with live and walk with it ..

I do not know if I would be alive to write the next post or not but I know one thing for sure my life says to me "It's fun to have you with me" 

A belief is what it takes to trust 

A kick it takes to give a start

And a surprise it takes to Love your life....

Don't waste it , taste it & relish it when its with you.

Love it and don't hate it ,surprise it back, for you never know whats on the next turn.

Live it coz it's not coming back ...!

College days...

Too often we don't realize 

What we have until its gone. 

Too often we're too stubborn to say.. 

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Too often it seems we hurt 

The ones closest to our hearts.. 

And we let the most foolish things 

Tear us apart... 

But now at the end of lovely journey 

I would take the pleasure 

To thank my self, for the lovely decision 

To enter a world filled with ; 

JOy, Laughter, LOve, MadneSs, & more over a lovely friendship 

 From solving stupid sums to 

Entangling our legs in class 

Form trying to be munni, 

To dancing on sheila 

Its all we did that Proves me right today 

ANd here I am, as I Take this pleasure to bow down to our madness 

ANd say a sweet goodbye with a heartfelt Sorrow & emotions 

Not just to show my Love for you'll 

But to let you'll stay to manage these feelings forever and ever & ever......

Love is all around

For the one i love.

As we started our journey,
we had many falls,
we had ignorance
and also some flaws

Despite these facts
We stand together today
May be that's why we are
Meant to stay

The sun ,the moon
The stars in the sky
Have surely witnessed
The romance in our vibes

And today my love
I ask thee to fly,
To fly with me
In my journey of life,
And to be my passenger seat
Forever.....
