When Cupid Strikes..

Cupid strikes anywhere any time. Like everyone, I also have my own dream of falling in love and being loved in return. I have a huge crush on this guy ever since I met him and I know he also has a bit of interest in me. But we are not that expressive. How long could I take this? Sometimes I feel like expressing myself and many times I dream that he is proposing me going on his knees.

With love in the air, I wish for some silly yet cute romantic things to happen in my life too.

Scene 1

An evening walk on the beach sand with him watching the beautifully painted sky, she was carrying her sandals in one hand and slightly brushing his fingers with another. As the waves slapping the shore, she walked towards the sea as the soft rays sizzling on her. The waves gently kissed her feet and she started to play with the splashing water.

She : Can you carry this for me? *showing her sandals to him*

He  : I can't carry it for you but I can carry you!

Leaving her stiff and numb, he smiled lifting her up, making her fall in love head over heels with him.

Scene 2

A gentle stroll down the lane with him, she was giggling all along and talking all sorts of blah blah blahs. He suddenly stopped and went in front of her....

He  : You are crazy, you know?

She : Haha. Just like you.. J

He  : I love your craziness.

She : Tell me something I don’t know. *eyes rolling*

He  : I love the way you fumble your words and that quick reaction you give before anyone could point it out. I love the way you make hassles while cooking and serve me the dish even with your single strand of hair when I eat. I love to watch you play shuttlecock that too when you become a spectator all of a sudden, forgetting the game and catching the ball and tilt your head and say ‘oops sowwiee’. I love your big rolling eyes even when you stare at me in your angry mood. I love you when you forget that I am around when you have chocolate ice cream in front of you. I love when you try to convince me that you have a squint eye. I love when you demand me to do something even though it makes no sense at all. I love the way you munch nachos when you watch the movie. I love your funny walk which makes me realize that I want to walk with you all my life.

Then he went on his knees in that middle of the road, pretending to tie his shoe lace. Lifting his head up and taking her hand and planted a kiss.

He : I fall in love with you for whoever you are and whatever you do. I love you now and I want to love you all my life!

She was standing there right in front of him with tears oozing out from the corner of her eyes.

She : You are so irresistibly crazy.. And I hate you, too..!

She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tight and they kissed.

Scene 3

That one moment she realized that he was the one for her, she visited him at his work place without prior notice. He was totally surprised by her visit.

He  : Hey Mira, what are you doing here?

She : I am in love with you.

He  : Er.. what.. you with me?

She : Yes. Remember, I am just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.

He stood there speechless as he spread his arms to hold her forever and ever... 

And they lived happily ever after!

We don’t know when cupid strikes and with whom. Feel and express your love this Valentine’s Day.

Reach The Heights

#KhudKoKarBuland

Its been a while we met. Hope you are well. And first of all, let me wish you a wonderful new year. May God showers His blessings upon us. Today as my first post of 2015, I wish to share a story of someone I know. He, who came forth fearlessly out of his small world, to prove himself that he is no different from others.

Besides this, on a personal journey, I am in search of my purpose and upon knowing it I wish I have the strength to go after it. I hope that I can raise myself to such level. But am I prepared well for my destiny?

When I met Hari few years ago during my volunteering days in an NGO, the first word which came to my mind was ‘Hari is shy’. He doesn’t look at you and if you’re meeting him for the first time, he won’t even speak to you. Hari happens to be in the autistic spectrum and had been diagnosed with his disorder when he was a small child. At first, his parents were not able to accept that his only son was diagnosed with Autism.

But today, Hari is a changed person. With his family’s planning and support along with relevant training throughout, he has overcome his biggest challenge. He has completed his diploma and now he is employed at a multinational company with a good pay.

Today his parents are happy to see their son has got a job by establishing himself that he is just as capable as everyone. Hari and his parents are one such living example who went forth fearlessly ‘Khud ko kar Buland’

Birla Sun life insurance give solutions to protection, retirement, savings with protection, children’s future and wealth with protection.

Birla Sun Life Insurance believes that we are in control of our destiny. We don’t know what’s in store for us next minute. Life insurance is important as much as the pursuit of our destiny. If we are financially secured, it gives courage to manage our needs any time. Basically, security gives us the opportunity to follow our passion and do great things in life. Secure your family’s future in this increasingly uncertain world and don’t leave their dreams to fate.

...

Khudi ko kar buland itna

Ke har taqder se pehle

Khuda bande se ye poche

Bata teri raza kya hai

...

Raise thyself to such heights,

That God himself may ask –

What do you wish me to write your fate?

...

These lines inspire me to find what I want from life.

But life does throw us many surprises which we can deal with if only we are ready to face it. After meeting Hari’s parents I learnt how strong they were to overcome their struggle in their early stage with some unexpected events happened in their life. All of which led them to plan well for their financial security to create this beautiful life for their son.

When talking to Hari, he said that he wants to be independent and live on his own. With his energy and belief, it is not an impossible dream.

People say ‘Dream big’. Because dreams are what define us, empower us and make us happy. They are what drive us towards the purpose and give a meaning to our life. In a nutshell, dreams are what make the world a better place. So what are we waiting for?

Our dreams are out there waiting for us. Let’s go live it. Stay happy. Keep smiling. Enjoy your blessed days ahead!

Wishing you a very Happy New Year..!

PS - For personal reasons, I have changed the name here. Btw, I know I am not being regular lately. Giving you an excuse that I am bit occupied with some personal matters.
