The About Me Challenge - Day 5

Long over due..

Q: A recipe of yours and something you hope to do in life.

A: Recipe - Honey Onion Sandwich (I came up with it on my own - best for when there's nothing else in the kitchen.)

Ingredients:
1. Onions (at least half an onion...)
2. Honey (one teaspoon)
3. Salt (to taste)
4. Pepper (to taste)
6. Oregano (a few pinches) (you can actually substitute with chaat masala or something)
5. Olive oil (one teaspoon)
6. Cheese slices (you can't not want it!)

Method: Cut the onions into thin slices. Add salt, pepper and the oregano. Toss.
Add the honey and olive oil and toss.
Toast the bread on one side each and lay the cheese slice on the warm side. Wait till it's all gooey and then lay the onion on it.
Cover with the other warm slice and press.
Use a sandwich-maker if you want.. I just use a tawah.
Smell it.
Eat it.
Make more.
Eat more.


Something I hope to do in life:
I hope I can travel to Chile and lay under the night sky at least once. It's such a beautiful place. See? <3 br="">

The About Me Challenge - Day 4

Something I need to forgive someone for..

I need to forgive my best friend for letting me go, I guess. That's about it. I'm generally a " Forgive but never forget." kind of person.

VARYING..

Sometimes, Some Days...you just walk into your class, feeling SUPER optimistic, SUPER excited for something to happen...basically,in a Hyper state of mind.
This, sometimes, make you feel like hugging people around and going like "HEYYY!! IM ALIIIIIIIVE!!!"
:P
but then again,
There are some days, you walk into your class , and you know (even if it is not true) that .."NAHIIIII!! NOTHING'S GONNA GO RIGHT TODAY!!!!"

Basically, there is no such day, where you can be super depressed , and act like a Martyr....Having Awesome Friends around you helps a lot! BELIEVE ME!

Well, Some things people say, can  make you go "AWWWWW!"
well..ITS FAKE. :)
Face it, Why would ANYONE go "awwww???!!"
Makes me wonder if the things I actually say are all that cute, or they just want a Silk......!!!

The other things that people say, can make you want to Punch them in the face right there.
LOL! not possible....is it? ;)
(not if there are witnesses around)

Everyone has Mood Swings.
Trick is....COPE WITH 'EM! :)

Make people around you feel better, even if they are mainly faking ....trying to grab eyeballs..or whatever! :)
Let them have their fun....
At the End of the Day, You are the winner,
YOU made the choice to see everyone around you happy! :)
YOU spread the smile :)

That, now.....will surely make You smile too :)



Sincerely,
A true Cancerian
Prone to Mood Swings.

एक बार :D

एक बार जो था ,
अब नहीं है।
जो न था , अब है ,
अब मै उन्हें नहीं चाहती।

एक बार , जो मै चाहती थी ,
वह नहीं थी ,
अब वह मेरे पास है।
लेकिन मै पुराने दिन ही चाहती हूँ।

एक बार , जो भी मै चाहती थी ,
वह नहीं थी,
और अब , जो मै न चाहूँ ,
वे भी मेरे पास है।

एक बार, मै वोह सब चाहती थी ,
जो आज मेरे पास है,
पर अब मै वह चाहती हूँ ,
जो तब थे , अब नहीं।

दिल में वे सब बस गए,
जो थे , अब नहीं,
अब तो मै उन्हें ही चाहती हूँ ,
जो तब थे , अब नहीं!!

मेरे दिल से पूछने पर ,
जवाब मिला,
चिंतित हुई मैं......
उसने कहा......
जो सब थे , उनकी इच्छा है मुझे
जो अब नहीं है , वोह चाहिए मुझे
जो अब है , वोह भी मुझे चाहिए!

समय के साथ बदलती गयी मै।
सरलता न बच पाया।

आज मै ने अपने आप को
आईने मै देखि तो,
अपने आप को पहेचान न पायी.....
न ही आइना मुझे पहेचान पाया था!!!!

एक दिन , आशा है,
मै अपने आप को देख लू ,
जैसे मैं थी - अब न हूँ!!!!!

एक दिन,
आशा हैं ,
मैं अपने आप को पहेचान पाऊँ!!

I DREAM OF A WORLD...

I dream of a world,
Where I can stay idle ,
Resting in the arms of mother nature ,
Looking beyond the busy world,
Who refuse to open their eyes
And look at the beauty of nature.

I dream of a world,
Where everything I do,
Would be right and
There is no worry about
Them going wrong ‘coz there is nothing to go wrong!
Where I can enjoy to my heart’s content……

I dream of a world,
Where there is only happiness,
And no sadness,
No loss , only gain,
No thought , no pain…

I dream of a world,
Where I do not have to choose
A path for everything
Let there be no worry , no care,
Just a single thought,
‘everything will be alright’

I dream of a world,
Full of pleasant surprises,
Valleys full of flowers,
Allowing the sun to pour
The warmth on them
Where I can go on gazing and gazing….

I dream of a world,
Where time can be stopped ,
But I can still enjoy the clouds,
Rolling in the sky,
Lying down on a grassy slope,
No thoughts in my mind…..

I dream of a world,
Where I can sit on a rock,
And watch the waves,
Licking my toes , retreating,
And advancing again,
Just meant for gazing and gazing…..

I dream of a world,
Where there are no tensions,
No stress , no care.
A place where we could just
Forget everything and gaze
At the beauty of nature,
Resting in its very arms….

I dream of a world
Where we could just let go
Of everything ‘coz you have
A place where there is only gain,
A place you could forget everything,
And take pleasure without guilt…..

I dream of a world,
Which I pray must
Come true one day , where
You could just let go….
Forget everything
Keep on gazing and gazing …
Just keep on gazing and gazing ,
With no thoughts in the mind,
And gradually get sucked into nature’s eternity….

MOVE IT...Ms. Obstructive Personality!!

yours gratefully

WATER........

Ever since my childhood, i Loved Water... it somehow inspires me.
the way it shapes itself into any vessel..... it shows me how to adjust into any surroundings!
I used to have an aquarium... i loved it. It was my favourite passtime to gaze at the eight goldfishes and one black molly.... but what was surprising was that, Now when i recall those memories, that have pressed themselves like photographs in my memory; i remember that i was not really looking at the fishes... yeah they were graceful and all...
like God had made them to be, but i was looking at the water....the way the fishes CUT the water,to make way for themselves... the way the Water never got HURT, the way it willingly moved aside...
it did not allow itself to be hurt by anything. It just flowed....kept on flowing...
NO i would not say in a careless or carefree way... it did take care ... but took care of itself, in a way that it was not obvious.



I went to this lake.. once a long time ago, with my aunt uncle and two sisters.
it is called "Rammappa Kaluva" or something like that..yeah below is a photograph of it...(taken through the camera of my cellphone..hence, not so clear)



in this lake.. my sister, being naughty as always.. tried to throw a pebble into the calm depths of the peaceful lake,of course it would cause ripples...
i was , dont ask me why.. , kind of disgruntled.
Why should the girl throw a pebble? why ??!!!
oh why on earth would she want to disturb a peaceful soul?! far actually, that was what had passed in my mind. but it would look really foolish to stop the girl from having her fun!
she kept on throwing the stones...somehow she ENJOYED wreaking havoc in the peace of the waters!!
well... she is a kid, having her share of fun! :D i would not stop her!





Well... but at that moment, i understood, that how many ever fishes are under the water,it never shows...a FAINT ripple is caused..a FAINT one when a fish comes up and decides to peek its nose (if it has one)



Water has inspired me to be what i am... or what i HOPE i AM
and i also hopes it keeps inspiring me too :)

STAY CLEAR !!

Dear Darkness... stay clear of me! i know you too well You can decieve me no more!
i know what you have done and what you may be planning to do...just you wait !
I'll show you who wins...i have warned you...heed well
Farewell....darkness


(the darkness... is towards the left of the image.. the light.. which helps people win is towards the right of the image... the winners are the people on the boat.. hopefully it includes me. )

SISTERLY LOVE.............cute :)

A week or two ago, my aunt and her two daughters came over to my place.
The elder one..was sitting on a chair "drawing" with my crayons, meanwhile.. this little one had come and was trying to bully her sister off the chair so she could take her place. I tried to stop her, well... u know i'm not good at handling kids :D !
but what shocked me was that the eldser one did not whine....like she usually does, instead she lifted her sister onto the chair and willingly got up from the chair!
the little one scattered all the crayons across the floor and when i started picking them up, the elder one came to me and said "paravaledu akka nenu teestanu, nuvvu elli kucho" which means- its ok big sister, u go and sit, i will pick up all the crayons.
i was really shocked. usually she starts crying and cursing! i watched her patiently retrieving all the crayons. when she did, the little one beckoned to her and made her sit on the same chair .....

it was so touching... so cute :)

Kitne lamhoon ne
Mujhko ho jaise hairaan kiya
Kitni batoon ne
Dil ko aake hai chuu liya

-wake up sid (aaj kal zindagi)

it was something i had been missing from the very beggining, i have no sisters ,no brothers..... that minute i realised..... how much ever they both fight or curse each other, they will always love eachother :)
the feeling that there is some other person apart from your parents, who cares for you and whom you can care for... is wonderful :)
proof of sisterly love
:D

ALL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

A DAY...UNFORGETABLE..

HEY AGAIN PEOPLE
i like ..to write in my blog all that i cannot tell people....
have you ever seen a picture..from your life.. imprinted in your head...like a photograph you want to get rid of? oh well what i am writing about is another such thing.!!!
days of our sports day practice in 10th class.. of course it had been cancelled.
this particular day... we were called for some shotput selections. we went.
when i was walking back .. i saw a scene... my best friend meghana was with me..she is in a different class...but we are still best friends :D
her classmates (and mine) were sitting in groups. i mean.. a circle.. chit chatting etc..:D they had left a place for meghana..
when i went near my friends, lo and behold, no one moved to give me place... i had to sit outside the "circle"...
now.. i let it not show..but really .. it does hurt! :(
i now remember my sports day practice ( that particular day) as a day..no a photograph..showing things...i thought i imagined,but which were really true..
two groups...both of which i liked...none leaving a place for me..
an unwelcome stranger... after all those years of "being friendly" and "trying to be nice"....
how simply very ... appealing???!!

A Few of My Drawings

this is one of my latest...

this one.... was MY style!! :)

( by the way , all the pictures i am displaying are of MY style !! :) hope you like them!! )

HOW ARE THEY? IF YOU LIKE THEM PLEASE PUT A TICK IN THE LIKE IT OR NOT POLL!! :)

MY drawings!!!........MY wish!!!! :D

hello again. the old aditi is back now.. i have learnt that worrying about those exams is a waste. i hope i have not bored you in the past two or three entries. anyway! i'm back with a bang!! :D well thats partly because i began drawing again. i love shading. give me a book and a 6B pencil and i'll sit with it for hours. everything i like can be seen in my drawings.
i am ashamed to admit that i do not know how to draw humans .... but i also have to admit that i have no intrest to draw them. i however draw most things of nature. i know they are not very nice but looking at them makes me feel nice. i draw because i want to draw.
there was a poem - the frog and the nightingale, in our literature textbook. this had a lot of effect on me. i felt was it - "frog and ADITI" hahaha!..
well it was actually like that. my parents have taught me that critisicsm must be treated as the steps to success and i..... u know.. i'm a mad girl.... took critisicm seriously and i really tried to change my drawing style. this, did not give them the grace they had before. i learnt, draw when you want to. you know what? it is very hard to drwa when you dont want to.
you must be wondering, (i hope to have created atleast that much intrest) then what about those drwaings with the changed style then?... well i kept them safely. so, they remind me of the lesson i have learnt from them.
i must admit, they were good , but lacked the charm which I like. I draw for MY sake now!! :)
well anyway. in my next entry, i plan to show you my drawings and i sincerely hope you like them. well they really are not very nice .. but just have a look at them !! :)
ok then, keep smiling all of you! and remember....do things which you like to do, not what others want you to do.
here is one of my favourite one liners....
"you are not responsible for what people think about you , but you are responsible for what you give people to think about you. "

Time = running out!! :(

THINGS i have never imagined could happen happened!.
i dont know... i did so badly in my maths paper of the 1st term exams. i managed quite well !!...but what!! imagine my astonishment when i saw my math answer sheet ..i was in the deepest of miseries!.. i hated myself. i tried to study more ..but how much ever i studied , i found the need to study more. there is this excellent text book of math written by R.D Sharma, i tried doing a few of those sums, and voila! not even one sum was right!..
i dont know what is going to happen to me in the board exams!!
i hope i can pass atleast. my dad told me to get above 95 % !.. n i'm trying..i only hope that my efforts will be fruitful!

GUILT - THE BOA CONSTRICTOR

HPS(R) has its own charm...

1st term exams are fast approaching.. everything is like blank in my head. maths is like arabic... chemistry, harrappan language etc.. its been so hard to understand the maths ... i've begun to cry.. inever did in my life cry for such SILLY reasons..

crying dosent mean crying out. it is like deep in the heart there is always something that keeps on bothering you ... i hate that feeling.. i feel like screaming.. I HATE MATHS...

but i cant' because i like it.

i do not understand how i can hate and love the same thing at the same time...

maths keeps on eating my brain practically ... i cant understand it.. but once i do.. i cant let go of it!

what shall i do?

no one has an ansewr to this question..... life is in a mixer right now.. i have to go and try to do the maths now... cannot sit for a few minutes free , without feeling guilty that i was not able to do maths in this time..

i would like to end this right now... though thoughts keep coming into my head again and again..

i have to go before the guilt can consume my heart whole..

guilt ... THE BOA CONSTRICTOR!!

Life Gives You What You Expect!

It is true! life always gives you what you expect from it.

Only, we fail to notice it after it has been given. The negative thoughts inside us take up all the space within and leave no place for positive and good thoughts. Imagining that you do not want to lie gives you "I want to lie". Imagining that you want to speak the truth gives you "I will always tell the truth." -  that's a bit of positive thinking!

This simple thing has changed lives. Or so, they say.

A Silent Thank You.

I had been studying in HPS(R) for nearly 11 years now!
I had grown tired of the same surroundings , same friends , same teachers ,same everything!!
How boring everything was!
I thought that how nice it would be if I could really leave this school and go to some new school and see new people!
My parents always said that this school had given me a superb chance of showing my talent though I never showed WHAT my talent was… I even doubted that did I really have any.
Every minute of my life has taught me important things people must know.
Most importantly , I have learned to learn from my mistakes. I wasn't easy,but it was my biggest boon.
I shall never commit the same mistakes ever again..at least, I hope my fond memories will not allow me to do so..
I am thankful to God for what he has given me and I am content with it!
Every step I take , I shall remember each and every lesson I have learnt till now and act wisely…
I thank my parents and grandparents for what they have taught and showed me about life!!
and of course I thank God for all he has done for me …
I shall always remain indebted to all of them!!
