"the secret behind a good pic is the story behind it"

‎"the secret behind a good pic is the story behind it"

Its always the mystery behind some event that gets all the attention... i think the fun in showing some thing is in hiding some part of it...!

I think the secret of mona lisa being so beautiful is the in the secret of it behind it.. some say she was pregnant...some say ...its female leonarodo himself...and wht not...its the stories the make the pic famous...

there is a story behind each pic..and i think only the photographer knows wht is behind tht sweet smile.. or teari eyes..

In our life we have answers to all complicated questions....but the simple questions are more difficult to answer...!

Sometimes in our lives we keep running harder n harder to find answers to difficult questions... and once we get them , soon we realise ... finding answers to the most simple questions is actually more difficult... :)

Today we were having lunch at our canteen and suddenly Gautam as usual with his joke of the day started narrating some story of his weird friend...and i herd him saying what his friend asked him when he was knocked out after some shots of vodka...,"who am i ? who am i and what am i doing in life?"
Seriously sometimes in our life we just run ..run behind answering the most difficult questions, equations...managing the balances...but we get knocked out when someone asks us simple questions... who are u? what are here for?

To run behind the best engineering college , that perfect job, the best car in market, the perfect house, get the right partner.... we just run run behind these things and forget of what we are ... what is it that we actually want in life...?

Did i plan my life like this? did i want it to be like this... or have i started accepting it the way it is....
These simple questions are really difficult to answer.. The other day my cousin was asking the kid of our family friend ... of what you wanna be , when u grow up... and i was just thinking... seriously man ... i never planned to be a banker ever... i never planned to be in equity market... it excited me.. but i never wanted it ... i just wanted to create somthg and take it to a level no one ever has taken it...to be there at the top and be a part of the cream de cream... where i ll have some unique quality and people will come to me to learn it use it take it...
so its difficult as i said to answer the simple questions in life , "who am i?" and "what i am here for?"
I think all of us should just pause a minute in our daily routine and ask ourselves ..."what am i doing? i this the plan...? how long can i just fake that i enjoy what i am doing... just be real boss... do what i want and the way i want it..!"

Its Merly Streep day...!

Today i was whole eve busy watching videos of Merly Streep... wowowowow she is so gorgeous... she is so perfect....
Everytime i see i feel yes... this is how an actress should be... so beautiful...full of life...full of feelings... and gratitude and down to earth.....she is so perfect...she is a genious!!!!
Was watching the life time achievement awards function of hers... the best actors..actresses..directors...co stars talked about her... each one had a story to tell...abu her nature..her attitude...her style...abu she herself.. in all of them .. i could see... each of them respect her.. loved her of she being one of them.... she was close to them... she was so natural... no fake smiles...no fake kisses..she was so cute.... and at this age too.... she stand class apart...


Its difficut to find some one like her... i just kept on watching videos of her...her interviews..her award speeches... search for the best movies she has done..

I loved the way says her dialogues in the movie Its comlicated..or in Mama mai... well those two movies are one of my very favourite....

Merrly u are class part... aand each of ur movie is better than the earlier ones...
Say the devil in devils weards prada... or the Julia in julia and julia and sao many of the others...

You are one of the best actors i would have likes to watch...tooo goood
too cool...just superb.....!!

All of us have a story to tell...!

All of us have a story to tell...
each one of us in our day to day life.. see n number of things happening to n number of people around us. In our own life there are so many things happening with us that we can say each day is a play day... and we get up in the morning to perform our parts of the play.

After spending 6 yrs in hostel...away from home with amazing people in hostel; in college and in the cities i have been... i got the opportunity to know many people closely... each of these people had a story to tell... about their family,relationships,life in general, breakups, crushes, careers,ambitions, idols,.....

with each of their experiences i could understand the situations and problems they would be facing.

Perfect Neighborhood ...!!!

Just finished watching a Desperate Housewives episode .. the last line of the episode said
" ...in our darkest moment we all need someone to listen to us ...some seek to talk friendly professionals...some talk to someone wiser and elderly... some to someone who has gone to through similar.... but the most of us .. nothing is quite so therapeutic than a good long talk with a few old friends..." and the shot ended with all the gals talking over a table and enjoying each others company.

All one wants in life is to be with the right people at the right time... that is what is the life line for lifetime...

I just wish to have all my best buddies to live around my place ... in the same neighborhood... where we can meet up for a coffee in the middle of the week or on a Saturday morning for breakfast and just talk...talk about our lives..our achievements...problems... and most importantly about our feelings...

Feelings... it so much important for us to talk out what we feel... and to have someone to listen to us... Sometimes our life partner or our mother cannot be the person with whom we can share everything ... at that time we want someone who has gone through the same patch as are going through...someone who understands what it feels to be in such a situation... and instead of giving solutions to get out of the situation... just holds our hand and says...its okay...its alright to go through it... and slowly with care gets our mood back to normal and cheers us up... and at the end of the conversation we don't even remember what were we worried about ...

For me the perfect neighborhood would be Praj, Ketaki , Yamini, Leena, Prachi, Mugs,...
With these gals in my life i can be myself and and they can be their own self...
This idea of buying a flat in same society would be cool... i and Praj were planning it too.. i don't know how much is it practical...but to stay connected is so much important..

To tell honestly..even if we don't actually meet in person... our talks on phone after months also gets us together ... we start from where we had left...Yamini and me have experienced this sometimes...we don't talk for months...but one fine i get a call from her and we talk and talk ...as if we are sitting in our hostel rooms planning for a trip or solving sum issues in the star parivar ..!

With Praj...every time we talk ..its like we are talking while we taking a walk in the park near her place... and discussing about our life ..our plans..our dreams...

It just takes a few seconds to catch up... its just the exchange of few words and we know what situation the other person is in... or what is she going through ... its just perfect to be with them...my ideal vacation would also be with all these people.. hmm... ya if all of us get married soon then with we and our spouses.. ;) it would be fun to hang out with them... maja yeil...nahi tar a spinsters party and a Hangover kinda of trip would be just too good... i just keep my fingers crossed...

Well...With we, our families , our careers and our priorities ...we might not be able to stay in same locality...but still we are the perfect neighbors to each other.. any time of the day ...any day of the year...in any situation...any kinda help... we are there to listen and talk to each other... that's my idea of Perfect Neighborhood !!!

What is your idea gals... ?

:)

Cheers
Pradnya

Self Acceptance is the key

Yesterday we had our performance appraisal... like a school going kid i was nervous about the results of the performance review. The HR and the bosses tried are patience till the end of the day... finally at 8pm they declared results...the people who promoted were celebrating with joy, and many others who were not were having mixed feelings of hurt depression anger jealousy sadness... the otherwise en lighted atmosphere in the dealing room was suddenly dull and shady... there were only a few hand shakes and that too which didn't come with joy... everyone was cribbing about the HR and the bosses..how they didn't care about the employees progress success and benefits... and it went on and on....

Then i realized one thing.... are these having problem accepting what the management has offered them or is it that they have problem in accepting themselves with what they have achieved...

i do agree that injustice is done on the deserving people who have worked hard all year round... but then if you are getting what you want in life you have to accept it then move on.
I know had i been in place of Natasha or Prakhar who have not got promoted in spite of 3 yrs of excellent work, even i would be upset... but not to the limits of just going into a depression and feeling sorry about myself... i would never do that... no one else but me myself have the right to judge my potential...

i have set my own refernece points in life and i would like to judge myself with those.. what people feel and what my boss evaluates me is very much important for my professional career..

On a personal front it is me who decides what i had set as target and what i have achieved...

Last financial year was good for me... i moved in to a new profile .. new learning..new team.. new experiences and newer responsibilities... I had decided to give my best shot in the work life and i can say...ya i tried hard to make it good... obviously the best is yet to some....

I have learn t the way the business works... the way counter parties handle it..actually handling the counter parties themselves is a big job :) then taking decisions..handling queries...client call...discussions with sales teams... well the year was happening and i thoroughly enjoyed it... with a rating 2 at the end of the year..and appreciation from the boss as well...

I think my other colleges getting promotion and better rating didn't affect me as bad as it affected others is because... i have accepted myself and my achievements...
saying this i am not being complacent and not giving up on not trying harder... and neither i am under estimating my performance... its just that i know what i did and i am happy to get what i deserved...

I just hope everyone in the team just gets over the whole rating and performance review and just kick start the new year with a high spirit and enthusiasm... there is a long way to go ahead guys... cheer up... Picture abhi Baki hai mere dost !!! :)
