Imagine being trapped inside a body which you have no control on, you can hear and see but can not respond, can not move or do anything. You dependent on a separate person for even the most basic needs of your body. I cant!. I love my life because I can live it. And feel it’s almost barbaric to leave a person to suffer like that. He/she probably wakes up every morning hoping they are dead. They are so helpless that they can’t even get up and kill themselves…what is the purpose of their lives, laying on the bed waiting for death every day, every hour, every minute, every second…
Here I am not taking about people who have made it a way of life and are happy, have people around them to love and care about them but about people who wish to bring it to an end.
Now the other side of the story is that we have no right to take somebody’s life away, which is correct in every sense of it, but then what is Capital punishment all about? If we say we can not take somebody’s life just because he/she has become a vegetable then do we really have a right to give someone a death penalty, who has all the chances of living a better life.
My question is if a person has lost the will to live can we really force him?

...Best Of Both Worlds...
A guy in my class once asked me, what is the right direction one should follow in life?... Like a good girl I said there is no right or wrong…so…if there is no right or wrong than what is all the fuss about???
We the people very conveniently choose our own “right”. What was right to me yesterday is boring for me today and would be stupid tomorrow…
Every now and then we go through a time where we recreate ourselves and we get caught in the turmoil of rights and wrongs. And its destiny which decides the right “right”…the only thing permanent is change and change is a necessity. I am a firm believer of destiny so I go wherever it takes me…but this destiny is directly proportional to opportunity which you have to create for yourself…with your hard work and the strength to carry on…
If you ask me, I would say, everyone has his/her own different paths, if you are confident of why you are on this path and know where it is taking you, nothing else matters. Just believe in what you do and even if something goes wrong… you will be able to handle it… have that faith in yourself…
Life is beautiful…let’s not be afraid to take chances…

The Imperfect Life
Life is an unsolved mystery and its uncertainty amazes me…for once you may think you are leading a stable life, then someone comes along and leaves you feeling all messed up once again…
How do you know what’s right for you…and more importantly who is right for you…you meet so many people on a daily basis and every single person has a different story to tell and unfortunately you too have a role to play in it…
Well …every person you meet is a different character in the story called life…you often meet people who are so sweet to you that you start wondering what he/she wants from you…at the same time you come across people who couldn’t care less about you and you wonder whether he/she even has a heart…some people wouldn’t let go no matter how hard you try…and some are just trying to fit in…And the best you can do is to be a person who has good relations with all of them and still manage to be the individual you are…
In the past few weeks I realized that no matter how hard you try to think straight and lead a life with no ups and downs…its hardly possible…what may seem perfect to you may be “oh my god” for someone close to you…everybody has their own bunch of problems it’s how you deal with it that makes you different…and as for me I guess…
...I love how imperfect my life is...

An unforgetable trip...in many wayz...
For the first time I’ll be sharing my experience with you…many of you may not be interested but this I am doing for my friends…
This trip is a perfect example of…how sometimes the worst situations can turn out to be the best for you…as weird as this sounds what happened was even weirder…it all started when we decided to go on a trip to nanital…you may be thinking that we were planning this for months but actually all of this happened a day before our departure…unsure of what is going to happen and more importantly who is going to come???...
The whole planning was going on between me and my brother…yes my brother…it was actually his plan…and me & my friends just barged in, ruining his plans of having a “safe” vacation. Some how we managed to gather 6 people making entries at the 11th hour. All 6 of us were not sure of what this trip will turn out to be…specially because some of us were total strangers…I had 2 of my closest friends and of course my brother, who I only knew as my brother and never thought of him as real person…so he was new to me too…
The journey started pretty well everybody seemed to get along, reached nanital…settled down…went to the zoo…saw a really really big owl about 3feet, that was something. Anyways we returned to our hotel around evening, ordered snacks, somehow forgetting that one of my friends, whom we lovingly call Aloo Bhonda (Hindi for bread roll), had severe stomach ulcer problem.
So she started having this massive stomach ulcer attack, and trust me when I say this…I had never seen more terrible site then this…she was in a hell lot of pain…in reality she is a very strong person and to see her cry and shout like a little baby just broke my heart…none of us had ever witnessed anything like this. We tried everything…I could feel her pain and it surely wasn’t a pleasant feeling. She would go in and out of consciousness and at a point we thought we had lost her, we gave her medicines but nothing seemed to work…we decided to take her to the doctor…but how??...
The biggest drawback of this place was that..everything closes by 8pm i.e. no rickshaws, cars, cabs nothing…I hurried down to look for a vehicle, our hotel manager was very generous and helped us through this and soon we had somebody’s car ready to go…
Now the next thing…we were on the 2nd floor that meant around 80 stairs down. I was talking to the driver down stairs and others some how managed to get her down 20 stairs to the reception…but still 60 more stairs were left…all of us were around the same weight and not in a condition to carry somebody our own weight down…specially because we couldn’t touch her stomach because of the ulcer and the staircase wasn’t helping in anyway…its then that my brother carried her down all by himself…I don’t know how, I really don’t know how but I guess that’s what such situations do to us…we start showing qualities which we never thought existed…this is what happens when you don’t have a choice…
So here we were sitting in the hospital, the doctor gave us the prescription, me and my brothers friend, we ran to the chemist as if our lives were on stake…I never thought I could run that much…but Porno…that’s what I call him…he didn’t stop, it was his energy that kept me going, I thought if he could do this for a person he just met…I have to do it for my best friend…we almost ran our lungs out…
We gave her the medicines and soon she was peacefully sleeping…me & porno went to the market to get the other medicines while others took her back to the hotel.
I got to see different colors in everybody…PORNO…he was pretty scared when we were going back to the hotel…which was a 45min long walk…yes he was scared and a bit emotional…either because he wasn’t strong enough or he cared too much to let anything happen to me…he took all the precautions he could to take me back to the hotel safely…it was pretty dark and not much people were around…at times he would freak out…even at a sight of a dog…meanwhile I tried calming him down…and later we made fun of all this and we still do…he is a nice guy…
My brother or FARISHTA…atleast that’s what he calls himself…???...he showed some real courage which atleast I never thought he had…he handled the whole situation almost single handedly…telling us what to do and what not to…this side of him I had never seen…since we were kids…we always fooled around, did all kind of kidish things even after growing up and never took each other seriously…but this changed my whole perspective towards him…I cant believe I am saying this but today more than anything else we are good friends…
GUPTAJI or Deepti or Nishu …we call her by many different names…I don’t know why…she is a quiet person…but during this situation she silently did something very amazing which went unnoticed…amongst us I guess she was the one who remained calm the whole time…putting all her fears aside she only focused on what is to be done…I don’t know about others but she was the main reason I wasn’t freaking out…this is something I thought she could never do…silently supporting all of us…
The best moment came when our aloo bhonda started smiling only after an hour of all this happening…all the faces in that room lit up…and came a big sigh of relief…surprisingly…later that night we played cards as if nothing had happened…we made fun of the whole situation and had a blast in the rest of the trip…enjoying every moment as if it was our last…and today I have grown so close to all of them that its hard to even spend a day without them around…so we somehow using different excuses meet daily…I got to know my brother better…my friends better…and found an amazing person as my newest friend.
I can’t really forget sitting in the middle of the lake in 2 boats and playing truth & dare with cards…or watching a movie which I think didn’t even have a story, it was like watching random scenes from different movies…hahaha…but I still loved it only because we were together…
The whole experience was educating…I used to imagine what it would be like to be in such a serious situation…but now I know…and I know I can handle it…
Its situations like these that make you a stronger person…and you start valuing life even more…its Gods way of telling you…it’s not a joke…
Love life…love people around you and most importantly love yourself…its beautiful…

when man turns against man...
Imagine...you are going to meet one of your old friend...you are in a hurry...you are crossing the road...and baam!!...a taxi hits you...you are lying on the road...figuring out what happened and again baam!!..a bus runs over you...you are crying for help as you are brutally hurt...your crying in pain...your voice is shivering as you beg people around you to help you...you can see people standing and witnessing every moment as you die...and the only thing you can do is count your last heart beats.....
Sad indeed but only if we are some how related to it...other than that its just another animal dieing on the road perhaps a dog or human...how does it matter i am to busy...busy to even go an take a look...and if i look am busy to help him...i have an important meeting...more important than the life of a living person...more important than the family of that person...more important than anything...i am busy!!!
What has happened to us...why have we started behaving like insensitive creatures...have we lost all our humanity...we are nothing less than criminals...but what can we do...we are VERY BUSY....

colors of life...
So many different people combined together make the world we live in and every person is an experience to meet. Just when you think you have seen it all, something unexpected just pops-up. Life is a journey which not only has ups and downs but rights and lefts too and while we all are going through this journey we come across
some people who are a pleasure to meet and some are not. Its surprising to see how the presence of some people make you feel that the whole world is in your hand and you need nothing else, at the same time some people make you feel that you are not a part of this world and thats where you are tested. That is when you should remember that stones are thrown only at those trees which bear fruits and flowers.
There are times when you feel that you are speaking but nobody is listening...that you are doing but nobody is noticing...that you care but nobody is interested...its times like these which demoralizes you. Some people just go on blabbering about themselves and their lives, I see these people as insecure of themselves...who do not have the guts to face things themselves...people who kick a pebble and say they have moved a mountain...why do you want attention, you will get if you deserve it. I don't say I am perfect nor am I a saint but I live a simple life...no strings attached.
