Quote for the Day!
We discount small because it doesn't deliver big results instantly.
With this new year, I have made as well as kept my promise (thus far) of doing those tiny bits/actions of the so-very-important aspects of my life... Be it my health, my personal growth, my career or my relationships - yes, I am trying to cover it all at one go. 'Taking it one day at a time' really makes all the difference. Infact, I think this phrase should be changed to 'taking it a moment at a time'. Go all out in this very moment - thinking what you should do & doing exactly what you should do. It all translates into a better, brighter & more beautiful day/week/month/year. :)
It takes some amount of effort to focus on each second of your life... but in the end, it's going to be all worth it!

A teary-eyed goodbye...
I still haven't come to terms with the news that my utmost favorite Jagjit Singh ji is no more... I dont recall any particular time or date, nor a specific song that got me hooked to his ghazals. I feel as if I have been in love with his voice for ever now.
Unlike many others, I would not say that his songs defined any particular phase or moment of my life. To me, his music & his beautiful voice is an inseparable aspect of my life and will always remain so. His music has been my constant companion & certainly the most favorite one as well in my best & worst times. Be it agony or romance, his mellifluous voice lent beautiful expression to all kinds of poetry and gave it a soul of its own. Everytime I heard his music, it moved & touched my soul in ways that I can never put down in words. While I was often moved to tears listening to his ghazals, he also managed to tickle me with his romantic renditions... There was none like him & there will never be another Jagjit Singh. As he undoubtedly is the king of ghazals!
I had long harbored a strong desire to witness his live performance atleast once in my life. About two months back, I booked the tickets for his show on 23rd September in Mumbai. On this very fateful day, he suffered a brain haemmorhage attack. I returned from the show sorely disappointed but with the hope that I would surely book tickets for Jagjit Singh's next performance. Alas! It was never meant to be...

Feeling blue...
This year has begun with a whole lot of expectations. It is my chance to revive my (long-ago deceased) career. Despite having done immensely well in school, college & postgraduate studies I have always doubted myself. I dont know the reason but I totally lack in confidence particularly with respect to job & career aspect. Each day I live with the nagging thought of being a complete failure. I really dont know when this phase will end but I sure wish it would happen really soon.
Starting with your own business venture definitely sounds exciting. But I know this path wont be easy at all. It is going to be fraught with several challenges. The foremost requirement is that I must be strong & confident to overcome all obstacles. It means I have to be someone I am not. To be a different person altogether. Is it really possible to drastically transform oneself??? Or am I being unrealistic???

Some more pain & Little hope!
It doesnt get any better.. Does it? I was hoping today would be a perfectly good start to the life ahead.. it would be the first step of fulfilling our dreams of love success and a beautiful life together.
It feels terrible not getting what you'v worked so hard for and very well knowing that you deserve every bit of it. I dont know what I can do to ease your pain.. I wish there was something I could do. It would'v helped ease the pain & guilt that I am carrying within. I feel really really awful...
I dont want to dwell on these feelings any longer coz I know they dont help. They only make matters worse. But everytime in the past when I'v buried the nonsensical stuff and tried to move ahead it hasn't yielded any results..
Not taking Past as any indicator for the Future...I will move on... I am going to make myself emerge stronger & more determined.. and next time I am sure things will definitely go our way!! Amen!!

There are certain days that tend to be bad..some really bad...but there are some days that become landmarks in your life, for all the trauma & pain they bring to your life..
Its never easy to handle the bitter truths of your life... and particularly when it is handed over to you by the ones you love and that too in the most hurting manner ever..
I know I've made mistakes and a whole lot of them. I know I've done things I shouldn't have.. I also know that I haven't done things that I really should have. I know every bit of it --- I have regretted it, I have suffered it, I have paid for it & I probably will pay for it the rest of my life.
They may be right in making me realise it, making me suffer all over again through their harsh words. But I really don't have the emotional strength to handle it... Still I have to. I dont have a choice!
But it sure hurts like hell...
Things won't be the same anymore. I know I won't be the same person anymore, for better or for worse. Coz I took it in my stride once but not this time... I am going to embrace your words and let them ring in my ears each day, till the last moment of my life and make sure I do full justice to them.
