Home is where life is :) (Heaven On Mother Earth)

Travel to Paris, London, Venice, Sydney, Vancouver or Rome;
I bet, there can never be a place as beautiful as your Home!

Well, I feel, the beauty that makes home, the most special and second-to-none;
Is, of the immense internal bliss which home makes us feel and experience in ton!

Home completes you, filling up that void in your soul;
Making you realize, the true meaning of life in whole!

Never stops radiating the unconditional love and warmth of your parents;
Has the potential to invoke a quarrel with your sibling, that never ends;
Creates a perfect ambiance, to spend time happily with your close friends;
After marriage, it also depicts responsibility with joy; that totally blends!

Home is only where you can always be yourself, reflecting your mood;
Happy or sad, Naughty or sweet, Calm or angry, Harsh or kind, bad or good!

At home, you do not feel afraid to hurt the feelings of your dear ones;
You do not have any inhibition in expressing yourself, not even once;

You do not think twice before you act, you are just your spontaneous self;
Which, the outside world forces you to hide/lose, somewhere deep within yourself!

There is no cuisine that can substitute your mother’s food;
Made with ingredients of absolute love and care, properly brewed!

Every human being loves to be loved, understood and pampered;
This is a universal truth and home delivers it without being tampered!

How much ever older you get, you remain a kid in your parents' eyes;
Who feel genuinely happy and proud, at your every smallest rise;
And the pleasure you derive from this, is much beyond any price!

To me, Home is not a particular place or the house you boast;
Home is where life is; Home has your people with whom you connect the most!

For all those who are lost in this artificial, mechanical, materialistic world;
All I say is, never miss opportunities that get you home; don’t place them on-hold!

Often, visit your family and friends or invite them to where ever you are;
After all, they form your sweet home, making your life worth living for!

If both don’t seem to happen then simply close your eyes and feel them in your heart;
Belong with them by making your heart your home; this becomes easy and short!

You have just one life and your home definitely makes you live it right and real;
Giving you the strength to face the world with an attitude “Nothing is big deal”!

Keep in mind, you are not defined by what you earn, buy, possess or own;
It’s your home that gives you your true identity; which has your seeds sown!!

Arriba!!...Andele!!

( I'm not much of a football follower .. but FIFA is difficult to ignore :) Currently watching the consolation prize match. Go! Germany :))

Frankly speaking, I got a chance to watch only five matches fully in this tournament so far, and the rest, managed the highlights. I feel so lucky to have watched the semis live ( Spain vs Germany ). Whoa! football game is so beautiful :) I was actually supporting Germany but then in the end, the better team won and I do have a heart that is happy with this result :D


I love the way the young Germans have played throughout this world cup. Fearless, confident, attacking, aggressive, quick, energetic and most importantly greedy for goals. The way they thrashed England, Argentina out .. huh! ruthless! commendable performances. Will keep lingering in our memories for long. But hard luck, they couldn't rise to the occassion. They failed when it was very much required to triumph. I would not say they under-performed. I rather say they were not allowed to perform ( slightly cos of the pressure, mostly by the splendid spaniards )

Its simple, Germans were outplayed! Got to accept it! So I have :)
I have even gone one step further in extending my support for Spain to lift the cup of life . See, its again simple, I always back sensibility, genius and class.. he he he :D . I could witness all the three in the manner in which the Spaniards played this beautiful game. In quarterfinals they were defensive and in the semis fully charged. May be that is what is needed while playing big games. Opt your style based on the opponent you face. Spain just showed that style can vary but not the motto "If own the ball, you own the game!"


After the match was over, I just hit the bed with the thought, Puyol will become the talk of the world for a long time. After all, he scored the golden goal which was responsible for his team to reach their first ever world cup finals. "Hail you boy! you created history".

Woke up the next morning, immediately swtiched on the television set (channel names not disclosed)
Channel #40, breaking news - "Paul, the real hero"
Me - "Paul?? ooops! poor fella, his name is mispelled. Its Puyol"
To channel # 37 , top news - "Paul did it again"
Me - "What the hell? am I getting it wrong or ? Fine, I am still not out of sleep"
Switched to another prime news channel and found Paul again. Grrrr!! ok, ok, let me wait for the detailed bulletin.

Heard the info and then I infered this "It is not a big bad world but a big MAD world" wow!! :D A football game is won by an octopus? ( Fyi, Paul is an octopus ) The Germans wanna kill it? Spain PM offers state protection for it? Haigo! heights of craziness! And this is what you call it "21st century non sense".

Well, I understand only one thing clear here... All that takes to become an ultra famous bookie is to get yourself transformed into an octopus! ( Whoa, awful )
And hey Paul is not the reason I support Spain.. Come on ya, I mentioned my views already.. dint I? :P

Well, the country which is often compared to SA in cricket (as in best team but no WC title), the country where from the real madrids and the barcelona FCs originate, this is a real opportunity to make it to the top of the podium.

Guess it shouldn't be waka waka anymore .. its got to be la copa de la vida!!
So lets sing... Here we go, ale ale ale! go go go ale ale ale!
ARRIBA SPAIN :)

I salute you! Master :)

(Dedicating to the gentleman whom I admire. This is for the respect he shows for his game!)

Wwwooowww!! Sachin paaji scored a double ton in ODI cricket!
Terrific, Incredible, Awesome, Genious, Excellent, Brilliant, Great!

These are only few of the many adjectives/words that form a part of the lavish praise!
From the master's billions of fans around the world,who are right now basking in his craze!

Whatt an innings! Whatt a fabulous feat!
His batting today was a grand visual treat!

The maestro's technique,finese,timing,perfection,power!
Awwww!! He is the greatest legend ever!

Creating/Re-writing history is his routine!
Breaking/setting records in umpteen!

His avarice for runs is never satiable!
This match being a proof of it; undeniable!

Made the fastest bowler in the world look like a fool!
Hitting sixes, fours and singles; By batting super cool!

Time, when his critics constantly pressurize him to quit ODI and play only test!
This man comes out undeterred, unyielding; Achieves his and the game's best!

The more, the runs he hit!
The stronger these words fit!
"Just shut up!, I knw when to quit!"

Every breath held; Every mind was restless!
Every hand clasped; Every face was nervous!

This was the case of all the spectators; total unrest!
As the little master was scaling towards cricket's Everest!

He celebrated his achievement elegantly; majestic n marvelous!
Same fashion as he has done in the past; Despite this score being stupendous!

That is the way he is, as always humble!
And moves ahead in his career with no fumble!

Keeps sending everyone a remainder;
That age is just another mere number!

Hope the team backs Sachin by playing well, in the world cup!
Cos we knw our hero will play his life out there; fully pepped up!

Yours is a tiger's eye; just focussing on that unreached mile!
Best of luck Paaji! Fingers crossed! End your career in style!

Congrats :) our first lady :P

This day that year, precisely two years earlier;
Happened "The Occasion" which remains very dear!

It was our best friend's wedding;
With all mantras, prayers & bells ringing!

That auspicious moment, the 'knot' was tied;
Our faces were emot-icons, couldn't hide!

This institution has transformed our naive gal into a responsible lady;
Who is handling this phase of her life with an attitude:"I am all ready"!

She is the first wicket down of our threesome;
The fact that, she is taken in safe hands is awesome!

Even today, I can hardly believe that she's not single, anymore;
Cos nothing at all has changed btw us, if so, it has only matured more!

Our thanks to u, 'Her Man' ,for truly liking her for what she is;
And letting her be the way, she wants to be, as your Mrs!

Wish you both a very happy wedding anniversary;
May you live your dreams and always be merry!
