Stars in my sky!



Day4.. #100happydays #100daysofhappiness
I have had to leave a few days in between...but always thrilling to pick up where I left off..
So I have been rummaging through my stuff and catch my emotional self pacing down memory lane with old photographs - the charm, the nostalgia.. its a whole different experience as even the sad tears can give you happiness... sounds strange but the reason being you remember only the ones who are truly worth it... so are they not they real heroes to have such a life - however short or long.

Many of you will recognize these two very important men in my life - my dad and brother, both passionate Cavalry men, full of life and could grasp the attention of anyone in a room - in an extremely positive enjoyable and heartfelt way. Had the rare chance of being very close to my brother -so for me he was the most fascinating. Most people feel it was a life too short for both but I feel though short it was a life well lived and am so proud of them.. 

Today I am the daughter and sister of these remarkable army officers that has given me my discipline passion character integrity respect towards not just family friends or work but to this society and the country at large. Not many have the privilege of such pan India exposure but those who have will understand this sentiment. I chose this photo of them way back before gmail, facebook, twitter or even orkut as in my heart I choose to live with them at that time, in so much simplicity where there is no technological pressure or being social was defined differently. .. don’t you agree?

Day 58.. ‪#‎ 100daysofhappiness‬   ‪#‎ 100happydays‬ This one was long overdue..in fact from feb onwards, but am not sure why I delayed such a valuable post. She is my forever friend, cause I have actually known her for almost forever -  Suhasini Ranganathan  whom I fondly call Su. She expresses with such warmth, she cares with an open heart, she trusts like no other and helps in any way possible. We have grown through our awkward years and built magical memories in the most simple  activities and moments. She cherishes the time gone by and always is by our side. She is the brightest I have known (with a report I still dream of) and yet appears in such simple modesty. She is the KPMG star, whose dedication is unquestionable. She is the perfect host and welcomes with such an open heart. She laughs in joy and holds dignity when laughed at. This badminton champion is a selfless Pisces woman who is true to her zodiac - creative, positive and intuitive with people she loves. We have

Day 93.. #100daysofhappiness #100happydays Tears were flowing uncontrollably and I almost thought that I would bawl. People around me were choking on emotion and I was sure that everyone was grateful it was dark and no one was visible. It was not just tears, but smiles too. It was not the filmy bollywood entertainment from any angle, but had a story that had to be told. Thankfully, it was a story that was narrated in perfection, had the impact that it deserved and left the audience, heart broken and motivated all in those couple of hours. While it inspired many even for a couple of seconds, it was a meaningful cinematic experience and a biopic that is lasting. My 100 days has tributes of people or experiences that are meaningful in my lifetime, so this definitely fits the criteria... a true story from my lifetime, when I was 6 years old. So here’s to Neerja – the brave heart who ruled hearts in silence. This true story took place in 1986. At that time, I definitely have
