Mr. Stranger

So , I saw that stranger in my dream ,
He smiled , and before i could  hold him , he was gone .

Afraid , confused , i opened my eyes ,
To look for that stranger , i saw this night .

I remember everything about that Mr. Stranger ,
Because , there was a time when i had known him pretty well .

I remember how Mr. Stranger used to say ;
" There are times when you curse people for just being in your life ,
but when they go , you miss their existence " .

Million memories , but few are enough to come back again to you ,
Mr. Stranger !

Someone told - " Sometimes we laugh together ,
and there are times when we have to cry alone " ,
All the promises made , but now they are gone .

Hard to believe , how people who once were your life ,
or a very important part of it ,
are now being referred to as Mr. Stranger !

Meeting for acquaintance , only if that is the last option left .

We are the same people , Mr. Stranger , you remember ?
Who used to laugh on our Never Ending talks !

I hope that someday , I can explain ,
That you , yes you , Mr. Stranger ,
Will always be more than a Stranger to me .

Maybe you don't believe me ,
But the dreams that witnessed you ,
will be my evidence .

Handling Relationships !

I've often asked myself what people who are on their death beds wish they had spent more time doing . I think the answer running through their heads at that time might be - " Spending more time with people i love . Life, after all , is all about relationships " .
Wondering why i am sharing my views about relationships all of a sudden . Someone has asked to . I don't really know that person , but since i write for my audiences and this was a polite request , So here i am .

"On the death bed no one has ever wished that they had spent more time in the office" .
 Exactly !
Start up with some basic things . To begin with ; Analyse how is your relationship with the people you love . Your friends , siblings , parents / guardians , girlfriend , boyfriend etc .
Maybe its going great . Maybe not . Either way , you can improve it .
You don't have to be perfect - none of us really is . You just need to make progress ; progress within yourself . Because the most important ingredient in any relationship is what You are .
You can do lot of things , but here are 6 that work every time :-
1. Promises that are kept .
2. Small acts of Kindness .
3. Loyalty .
4. Listening , then Talking .
5. Saying Sorry .
6.  Setting realistic expectations .

In order to have a failed relationship , here are the things that work too . So , please avoid :-
1. Breaking a Promise .
2. Not Sharing.
3. Back Biting.
4. Not listening at all !!
5. Being full of yourself .
6. Setting unrealistic expectations .

Think like a Mirror . It doesn't judge . It just reflects . Mirroring isn't Mimicking .

Mimicking is                                     Repeating words .
                                                       Using same words.
                                                      Cold and indifferent .

Mirroring is                                     Repeating the meaning.
                                                       Using your own words.
                                                       Warm and Caring .

Try making the 6 Golden rules a habit . It will surely improve your relationship with others . The person may initially think you're playing him or her ( if you have been very bad with the fellow )  - but will ultimately also appreciate your concern  ;) 

Watch me !

Being at home in vacations makes you nothing , except Lazy ! I wonder , if one should cherish this time or to feel sad for the fact that soon this time will get over . 

Now , considering this fact , lemme check . I actually do a lot of  " things " in the whole day - read magazines , novels, and of course , the writing part . 

You know , people ask me , specially my friends , about the progress of my writing job .

Chinese saying - " Something that you enjoy is not work , and when you get paid for it , its no Job " . 

Henceforth , i don't count it as work . Writing is like Oxygen to me . Even if i don't write for my blog , or the website , i write for myself . 

Something makes me happy , this very day ! 

Have completed 11,00 page reviews today . Now , it is something , that makes me more than happy . 

Lot of reasons behind it . 

1) I always wanted to become a writer . Seriously ! But never told anybody . People think they are boring , dull etc. etc. etc. But not me . I think they are the most intellectual people around . 

2) I remember reading the Harry Potter book , and asking my dad , what all qualification do you need to become a writer ! Nothing Beta , just good writing skills . Waaaao ! I think i have those , i used to tell myself . 

3) I always wanted to get famous . No , am not famous yet . But yes , a few little people read my work and do mail me their feedback and this makes me feel as famous as any other super star . 

4) I love it when people tell me , they actually relate with my experiences and the stories i have to tell . I feel as if the reason behind my writing this very thing is complete . 

5) Had to show to some " people " , of what all worth i am . And i really don't care of what all they have to say about me . The only thing left to say - WATCH ME ! ;)

6) The most important reason is to see Mum smiling . She's not a very keen reader and doesn't really know much about these figures that i talk about . But yes , she is very happy for the fact that people read my work and like it . 

You know , it feels really great , to see yourself doing something that you always wanted to do . Trust me , there's no other feeling like this in the world . 

Something you always wanted to do ? Waiting for something special to happen ? 

Nothing will ! Ever . Take Control , and start with " That Thing " . 

And then , You'll feel the very same thing of what am feeling today . 

P.S. -Thank you all for your love and support . It's just the first thousand figure . Thousand's more to come . 

                             Happy Reading ! <3 

What Next ?

Have just come back home after almost 2 weeks of sleepless nights and much of the mental pressure . Yes , you guessed it right . The majors got over . Phew !
Seems like yesterday that the board exams results were declared , followed by the other competitive exam results . And How ! Now , its almost one year , and the newspapers are filled up again with the interviews of the toppers of the respective fields , of the pages filled with the advertisements of different institutes .
I completely understand , how it feels . This time , Gosh ! It really sucks everything out of you . You feel pressurized , frustrated and most of all confused . Life seems directionless . What is gonna happen next ? Its the only question that pinches you once a while .
The only thing to do at this point of time is to have faith in yourself and God . Trust me , soon you'll see that everything will fall into place .
Last year , i went through the same situation . And once , I got through all this , entered college , I thought , I am relieved from the same pressure for at least 4 years ( till my course studies ) . But now I realize , i was SO WRONG !
Now , after one complete year , i find myself pressurized again . For the different reasons though ! Seeing my classmates and seniors getting all prepared for the coming entrance exams they gonna appear in , gets me into deep thoughts . Although , they have just started a little , but starting is what that matters the most .
So now , in the midst , I am confused , whether to enjoy these holidays and pursue my hobbies or to eventually decide of what I myself want to do in future . I am little much prepared in my mind though . It is a tough call and I am struck between the devil and the deep sea .
After the much continued thought process , I come to the final conclusion part .
I already landed up into something ( Yes , my course studies ) which I am not very much interested into . To be very honest , I never really was . I was interested in literature , world history , etc . But now what all I am studying is no where related to this .
            " Any how , Mitti pao "
This gives a sheer evidence that am currently based in Punjab ;)
Anyways , now I am gonna transform my interest into my profession , once my course studies get over . In fact , i have already started up . Writing ! To begin with . This is the PLAN . I am gonna sit for the exams that have the subjects that interest me , rather than stupidly preparing for them .
And also , this thought process session was important indeed . Yes , now when my friends and relatives visit me next while i am home at vacations , I vividly will answer their question  , a BLUNT reply of their same old question - " WHAT NEXT " ?
