Dear God....What were you thinking?

What did HE think?

God made me, God made you, He made everything and everyone. But what did he think while deciding where each one of us would go.

Was he playing a board game with himself?Trying to move the pieces around, hoping to make a connection. I don't really know, but then why did He make all of us so different?Why did he decide to place me in India and not in Austria or England or even Canada. Why is it that we are white brown or black but not purple, green or pink(or even blue like in Avatar)?

How did He decide we all would meet on this earth? Creating blood bond relations and amazing friends. How did He make sure that we would meet the right people at the right time? Tell me how did He decide who is perfect for the other? Wonder if He has an action plan. Or maybe, He is a spy on a mission, taking this world under His control and trying to find something. I wonder if we are small chess pieces on a board to Him. While He is trying to strategically move each piece, sitting there right now, deciding on His next move. I wonder who He is playing against.

I wonder what He wonders about me....

Everyone Will Shine!

Here is a small poem that I wrote on poverty, hunger and how if we all will work together, we can remove this devil. How one day, everyone will have a chance to shine in the glory!

I would bid a million for those smiles
For together we can conquer the world and walk for a hundred miles
If I hold your hand, and if you hold mine
We can make a change for those who can't even dine
One day, everyone will shine

We can walk together, talk together and work together
Make a change in this world forever
For then he would not have to starve on the street
Nor have the heating ground burn his feet
He has no shoes, no slippers, no socks
And no means, for when he is sick to take him to the docs (doctors)

And we just sit there, watching, sipping on our wine
But, One day, everyone will shine

If we start from ourselves, we can make a difference
The challenge needs to be accepted
The arms of poverty need to be rested
For then the homeless, poor and the rich
Are all equal, eating in the same dish
Like diamonds, they are precious
And for their benefit, we all need to be ambitious

For together, hand in hand we will stay in line
Because One day, everyone will shine

Connecting the World 2.0

 Social Networking sites, the hub of millions of users, where each second one sees a new string of status updates, is soon losing its importance. The random game requests, Farmville, being the most famous of them all, and continued notifications that one doesn’t really care about, Facebook is soon losing its importance. The illogical spam mails are the cherry on the top of a very disturbed cake, as I must put it.

And now, with the introduction of smartphones and numerous gadgets in our hands, Gen – Y has found new methods of communication without the boring status updates and random pokes from other unknown users. They are now on ‘WhatsApp’! An application where the smartphone users can connect to the internet and to each other via the internet connection in their mobiles! Now this is technology at your doorstep!

WhatsApp is the new thing in town. Today, we don’t text each other, we WhatsApp each other. The best part about this application is no hidden cost! So, now one can chat with each other without any extra cost! With an unlimited data plan or WiFi connection, one can say goodbye to spending money on an sms.
With ‘BBM’ being a part of any blackberry service, many ask why this service is better and more comfortable. The good news is, Whatsapp can be installed in the iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Nokia, so you have a larger network of contacts that you can send message to using this. The cool thing about Whatsapp is it allows group chat, and even more cool is it allows you to send MMS, that means you can send a photo, a video, and audio note, share a contact or share a location. So, a feature all in one is what the Gen – Y is moving towards.

Forget Facebook. WhatsApp is In!

Love Me; Love Me Not

...because just a simple 'sorry' can make heaven turn towards you with open arms!

Call me an obsessed soul, call me a fan, call me a freak, and I won't mind. Yes I am a little lovey dovey super romantic person. I read romance and dream romance. For me, love is something that can conquer all evil, and also make miracles happen. If your love is true, selfless and forever, you can always move on with a smile on your face. I recently saw in a documentary that the amount of negative energy from a sad or an unpleasant thought is hundred times less than the vibrations from a beautiful and happy thought. So if we always show positive energy and deal life with a positive attitude, then nothing can even try to make us unhappy.

If there is love in your life in any form - mother, daughter, father, son, niece, sister, husband, wife, aunt, uncle, friends or even the people who you have met just for a little while and who have made an impression in your heart. Even if you have met them for a small while, and if their presence can make you feel loved, then their importance exceeds all limits.

Someone out there loves you!

I have been thinking about love and life a lot lately. I guess majorly because fights with people I had once considered best friends are a scene to watch daily. My new mantra is to ignore the wrong and walk towards the right, and if you think that the relationship you had with the person is worth all the efforts, then put your hundred percent in it! I would also want to throw some light on the fact that no matter how things get messed up, and how much they get messed up, if you have love in your heart for your own self, then I assure you that nothing can bring you down.

Just as I always say, Love, cherish, forgive and forget.
So if you have had any arguments, fights or misunderstandings, love yourself, cherish the person you knew, forgive their faults, and forget all wrong!  Now, why would you want to increase your own blood pressure when it isn't your own fault!

But just a short note; if it is your fault, don't be ashamed to apologize, because just a simple 'sorry' can make heaven turn towards you with open arms! 

Hope to meet you the next time, and I hope you have a smile on your face while reading my blog!

Will catch up later!
Srishti 

Human Monkeys?

Okay, after a long break, now I am back to blogging. But, today, I have a lot more to say other than just humans. Let's talk about our origin- no, I’m not talking about how we came from our mothers' womb. I am talking about monkeys!

Many believe that we have originated from monkeys, obviously giving to our similarities...the mouth, ears, eyes.....other than the tail; almost everything about humans and monkeys is similar.

Now, you might think why Srishti is talking about monkeys!?!?!? Well friends, while coming back from a relative's house, on my way back, I came across a monkey. Other than the fact that he had broken a few of our food containers (in desperate search of food, I suppose) and also made our air cooler do an air flip and crash at the ground, there was one thing which was, pretty usual to monkeys and as intriguing as it sounds, usual to humans as well. There is a domestic maid in my area who brings food and hangs it outside the railing while she is busy working to earn in the neighbor’s house to support her family. The monkey jumped to the railing, opened the packet the maid had wrapped around an Indian bread and he started munching on it merrily.

This was her hard earned money in the stomach of a monkey. If you look at it in another way, it is happening everyday with us. Monkey or not, another human is ready to munch in the plate of our deserts! Somebody else is ready to butt in and take the credit for our work. And hence, I can say, there is a down low in our society....the human society in general. Let us all not become monkeys and be happy with what we are getting in our plates.

And of course, how can we act like monkeys if we are humans?  

Change; Let's Love it! (Inspired by Niall Horan)

I was watching One Direction’s interview on daybreak and let’s just say, the 1D boys are hilarious! During the interview, the interviewee asked what the boys thought of the new panel of judges for the X Factor and how, many people were saying that this change wasn’t good. As a reply to that, Niall Horan said, “People don’t want to see the change but when the change happens; they love it”, and this line has been stuck in my head since I saw the interview.
Is change good or bad, desired or not? 

Well, thinking back on the line, it really is true. At first we do not wish for the change, but when the change happens we learn to accept it. We learn from it, experience from it, and definitely love it at the end.

Here I am going to put forth a few examples that were inside my head while writing this post:
1) When my Social Science teacher got changed, the whole class moaned. Everyone thought that we wanted our old teacher back. Soon we got used to the teaching pattern of our new teacher and somewhere started enjoying the change!
2) One Direction; the band was formed in X Factor UK. The formation of the band was a change for the five individual singers, but taking it in good spirits, now, they love the change!

3) India became a democracy, and now is the biggest democracy in the world! It was a change for Indians, but I bet nobody moaned when this change took place.

4) About one or two years back, the CBSE education system changed in India. I remember getting irritated when we got to know about the CCE system, but now I am used to it. I know how to divide my time, I’ve learnt many different things that I never thought I would have from the normal education system and am starting to enjoy the grading system.

So, change is good! Or at least, we should know that whatever is happening definitely has a reason behind it.
Maybe not EVERY change is good, but just a little tweak here and there won’t turn our lives upside down!

Irish Inspiration; Niall Horan!

All around us, we see people who can inspire us. Each and every individual has a characteristic that is admired, maybe not by all, but definitely by a few!
Today, I am going to talk about Niall Horan. Many of us know him as one fifth of One Direction, a British – Irish boyband that came into existence during X-Factor UK! They finished third on the seventh series of ITV reality talent The X Factor. Following The X Factor, the group signed a £2,000,000 record contract with Syco.

The boyband consists of members (age wise): Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Harry Styles.
Today, 13^th September 2011, Niall Horan turns 18! Wishing you a very happy birthday Niall! J

Here is a little birthday tribute to a person who teaches me every time to keep following my dreams and to never give up.

Niall Horan, a contestant in the X Factor UK, stole the hearts of the judges in his first audition. Soon, a decision was made by the judges where the five boys and four girls were put into two separate bands, a boyband and a girlband. The boyband was named One Direction (by Harry Styles) and they ended as the second runner’s up.
Certain things happen in life for a reason, and when we look back at that, we find the true reason of all happening. The contestant who came to become a singer, to be acknowledged, who never had any thought of being in a band, is now doing amazing as a part of One Direction!

So, let life bring us the treat! Everything that happens, happens for a reason! J
