Friends!

All of us in life are lucky to have a few good friends, but I believe that I am truly blessed to have a handful of amazing and awesome friends who make me feel special despite being away from them!

On my birthday, I got a call from someone saying I have a parcel. That evening I got an expensive bottle of wine and 2 large boxes of Lindt chocolates from my best and most awesome friend from India. I was pleasantly surprised and emotionally elated! I felt so special despite being miles away!

This morning I got a call from a colleague of mine who has come to Canada to visit. He told me he has a parcel for me! Lo behold! I got a jewelry set from 2 of my very near and dear friends from Muscat who made my days there extremely memorable! I again felt so special despite being miles away from them!

You don't need the person around to make you feel special. Any gesture even if you are miles away, when done with pure and true intentions gives the feeling of 'special' a whole another meaning! These are people whom I am proud to call my friends! They are like my family! Despite being so far away, they know how to make one feel loved and special!

I am truly blessed and I thank God for giving me my handful of golden friends who mean the world to me!

Love you guys! You know who you are! :)

Unexpected

Talking to my mind,

Thoughts within me,

Conversations I have,

Words I can't see.

Everything so simple,

Yet so bleak,

Array of quietness,

Like an eerie creek.

Fearful long dreams,

Disturb my beauty sleep,

Nightmares and ghosts,

Hovering over lea.

Pounding head and heart,

Trickle of sweaty beads,

Ghastly white face,

Awaken me with a screech!

Soulful of strong words,

With God I plea,

To take me away,

Bless me with peace.

Prayers hard and fast,

Folded arms and knees,

These conversations are quiet,

As quiet my dreams can be.

Walk-Of-Life

Unknown faces, through many places,
Come across people of different races,
Memories etched with a sharp knife,
Journey through, walk-of-life.

Paths may scar may bleed on you,
Pain unbearable, feelings so true,
Strong words, causing strife,
Sorrowful sad, walk-of-life.

Smile, laughter, flirty, coy,

Love, passion, loyalty, joy,

Musical thoughts, soulful pipe,

Happy content, walk-of-life. 

Shining stars, hopeful hearts,

Dreams so high, thoughts so smart,

Achievements all feel so right,

Run ahead, walk-of-life.

Happy Valentines Day! NOT! It's 15th today! Hence I blog on the day after "Love" day! ** Grin **

The hype about Valentines Day never ceases to amuse me. So basically you love someone on 14th of February or rather "declare" that you love someone on this date and the rest of the days ... err ... you don't? Or maybe the feelings just go away. On 14th "I love you" the rest of the year I just "like" you because you kinda irritate me otherwise! It's probably just another day to get gifts? 

My husband, the sweetheart that he is wakes up on V-Day and says "Happy birthday!" I, as usual look bemused and confused at the same time love him for being so quirky! We both burst into squeals of laughter and just hug it out! This is a ritual we do every morning! NOT the "Happy birthday" but the laughter and hug! Why? Well that's cause "love" doesn't need a day to be celebrated! It's celebrated everyday! At least we do!

Not to forget the facebook floods on sentimental status's and the competing pictures on who's getting better "special treatments" from their better halves (or quarters if your a person with a dozen lovers - believe me they exist!)! It makes me amused and feel a little sorry to see how people unknowingly seek approval from the world on what their relationship status is like! I mean for all you know the very minute the picture of some cliche red rose pic is uploaded, the couple could very well be arguing about how another couple gave each other a dozen red roses and chocolates! Wow, now that's not a very nice day for someone, is it? Come on ... 1 red rose vs a dozen red roses AND chocolates? Seriously tough competition people!

Don't get me wrong! I am not unromantic or against this day. It just amuses me that a day is required to be extra nice and show some extra love! Had to pen these thoughts - and what noodled me to do so you ask? Read chocolates! 

"Feel the happiness and love everyday ... it's the only formula to feel contentment!" 
I live by it!
