Older pieces of writing that haven't been put up as yet

given the fact that the new year has arrived...there are pieces of my writing that i seem to heve put up everyehere bt the place that matters the most...HERE!...so without any further delay, "here goes nothing;)"...

The life of SHE

SHE lived. At least SHE thought SHE did. Then came experiences – some good some bad.

SHE learnt to trust.

SHE learnt not to trust.

SHE learnt that trust could be broken. Especially by those who mattered the most.

SHE learnt to forget.

SHE learnt to forgive.

Tranquility.

SHE learnt that SHE wasn’t perfect.

SHE learnt SHE was in fact the worst.

SHE learnt that SHE was not that bad.

SHE learnt SHE was sometimes even better than others!

Surprise!!

SHE made her own little world, with her morals and values and notions. A resolve to go with it that no one can shake these, not abiding them would be nothing less than sacrilege. SHE thought herself to be an exception. SHE learnt all the above and much much more. SHE yet had to learn the most important thing – SHE was not the exception, SHE was the rule. The rule that once anyone knew it existed gave that anyone the power to fracture it, the rule that like many others before her did not have the tenacity to prove that SHE was the exception. However our SHE learnt this through many things and through many people and through many instances.

SHE learnt this through parents, teachers, friends, lovers and even random people.

Parents dictated what SHE did.
Teachers controlled her thoughts.
Friends ruled her interactions.
Lovers determined her decisions.
Random people verified her actions.

Epiphany!

SHE was not the exception.

SHE was the rule.

10 Things We Hate About Men!

This is an excellent article i had come across on idiva..it speaks volumes about the worlds of difference between men and Us..So any guys reading this..*hint hint*..

Thing no. 1: One task wonder

Ask any man to do more than a thing at a time, and they freak! And if they even try, they are sure to mess up.

Here's what Tv Anchor, Mini Mathur has to say…
"I hate their inability to multitask. They just can't do more than one thing, the way we women can!"


Thing no. 2: Taking things for granted

Get close to a guy - any guy and after a while they take you for granted. Our tip? Don't ever let him feel too secure.

Thing no. 3: The big fat male ego

Why can't men just chuck their ego once in a while? They aren't all that fantastic and they know it! Why the show then? And why should we take a page out of their book?
Actress Tisca Chopra vents…
"People always say, 'why can't women be more like men?' But I ask why men can't be more like women! Why the big male ego? Why won't he stop and ask for directions? And why can't they understand that women need 20 handbags?"

Thing no. 4: Women are all about sex

We hate it when they narrow our worth down to - what is she like in bed? Men need to start respecting women and it needs to start now.

(my personal favourite)
Thing no. 5: Running away...

When it comes to confrontation, men run away with their tail between their legs. This just makes us want to pull our hair out.

Actress Suchitra Pillai says…
"A lot of men run away from confrontation. They just can't stay and deal with things when they have to."
People speak!

Thing no. 6: The staring game

It makes us so uncomfortable when men share at our breasts. They see women everyday, but I guess they just can't get used to the idea that boobs do exist!

Simran Kant a law student empathises

"I hate how they keep staring at my boobs. I mean get a life guys, do we women always stare at your ? you know what!"

Thing no 7: Long hair

It just doesn't suit some men, and it looks pretty unnatural. And it's worse when long haired men use colourful hair bands, hair gel and streak their hair blonde!


(ANOTHER of my favourites..aargh!..makes u wanna strangle them)
Thing no 8: Make up your mind!

Men keep complaining when we take long to decide between a lavender or mauve top, but honestly they are equally indecisive about what they want emotionally.

Diya Rai a film student vents…
"Men! Why are they so confused all the time? And it's worse when they blame their indecision on us. Grhhhhh."


Thing no. 9: Sex on his mind, all the time

They are so freakishly obsessed with it all the time. Don't they get bored of being horny? And why is everything related to sex?!?!

Anjali Kapoor an investment banker says…
"Men are stupid. They only hear what they want to. Whenever I tell a guy, "I like you," they think I mean, 'I wanna have sex with you right now!'"


Thing no. 10: Bringing hairy back

We wax, thread, get laser-ed and basically go through a hell lot of pain to get hair free. But men? Gosh, they cry even if you tell them to shave.

I Believe..

i fall and I PICK MYSELF UP.
i lose hope YET I DREAM.
i am lost and I FIND MYSELF again.
i cry and I LAUGH through my tears.
i despair yet I BELIEVE.


i am dark,fair,14,fat,40.
i love my mom,knock knock jokes,my boyfriend,love stories,my mirror,having countless shoes..
i've never dieted,told lies,been kissed,been alone.
i want my space,love,a big raise,kids..the works!!
i cry,i learn,i trust, I BELIEVE.

The Joys of our girlfriends!!

Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.

Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.

Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.

BUT.........


Sisters are there,
no matter how much time
and how many miles are between you.
A girl friend is never farther away
than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley
and you have to walk it by yourself,
the women in your life will be on the valley's rim,
cheering you on,
praying for you,
pulling for you,
intervening on your behalf,
and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you...
Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends,
daughters,
granddaughters,
daughters-in-law,
sisters,
sisters-in-law,
Mothers,
Grandmothers,
aunties,
nieces,
cousins,
and extended family...all bless our life!

The world wouldn't be the same without women,
and neither would I.
When we began this adventure called womanhood,
we had no idea of the incredible joys or
sorrows that lay ahead.
Nor did we know how much we would need each other.
Every day, we need each other still.

Hey There!!!....SMILE!!!...u got a good reason..

Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized,
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,
then I realized its worth.
A single smile just like mine,
could travel the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected.

Let's start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infected!
