"If God is the DJ, then Life is the dance floor; Love is the rhythm, and You are the music"

Your Hyness,

Will you Dance with me??? ;)

History unfolds about the time when the fully flared gowns and promising Hat's were in FASHION,
The lifestyle was considered the Status Symbol,
Men were the Dominant Race,
High profiled English was a medium of communication,
AND.......

When proposal by a Man to a Women was only for Marriage.
It's a most probable but yet unknown dream come true for the girl.
the Man sit's on his knee to propose to his lady love
and the crowd awaits to hear her say "YES...I DO".....

In the present times , we already named those days as HISTORY and tagged such situations as NEVER HAPPENING....
The Lifestyle in 2012 states Attitude
Women have become the smart players,
Conversations start with "Wozzzup beautiful" and restart with "I had seen you somewhere....every closely;)I think...I do not remember..Do you??"
and the crowd still awaits to hear " YES...I DO"...but more likely to hear to the slap following it ;)

The love for music can not be expressed until the player has his/her heart and dedication over it.
Know the music which is for you, Love the beauty of making a rhythm and enjoy Life to the fullest on the your dance floor....;)

Flipside........ ;) Part 1

Jan 30th , 2020

Brooklyn Subway Station , NYC:8.20am

As an everyday's story , dressed in the formal attire with the StarBucks caramel frappacino in hand I am as usual walking faster in the 3inch high ALDO heels to take the escalator down by two levels and hit the D6 downtown train on time which is 8.26am.

My mind:"God!! please lemme get the train today...
I dont wonna miss the train...
OMggg I dont wonna face John if am late for the meeting....
God help!!! Delay the train by 2 mins..I oopss (I trip)
Phew Phew!! I am almost thr...just another level...aaaa"

8.25am: As I walk down the stairs to reach D6, an old lady conveniently hits my hand and there I get a free shower of my frappacino on me...

Old lady : "aaa I am verry Shorryy..."

She had a very different Chinese-English accent

I raised eye brows and said "aaa that is ok...." , Now I can't return her a smile if she had expected that from me..

8. 27am : the train arrives , I see that I gotta go down few more stairs and find my way through that city crowd to get into that train.

My mind : " Gosh!!! , Run....."
It took me fraction of a sec to take the command from my mind and immediately process it...But just on time when I am almost there , the doors close and the train leaves

I stand there stunned.....

My mind: "on any other day I can take it but not today..... the 9am meeting is important...OMggg JOHNN(my Boss)..... the next train is at 9.20am, Buses??_(schedule problems) , drive??(with traffic I will never reach)...What do I doo???"

I sit on the bench at the same station contemplating on what to do and digging into my purse for a napkin to wipe the coffee stains on my dress.Right then I hear a voice

Stranger lady: " Did u miss your train too??"

I look up to her as she was standing right beside me, dressed formally,pretty and perfectly tall Indian gal. I smile to her and say "Yeah!! :( "

Stranger lady : "Hmmm looks like even you dropped the Starbucks on yourself too just like me "
she points out on herself

I give her a smile and she sits next to me on the same bench

"even I missed my train , I was running right behind you....It is quite nice sometimes to find someone in the same situation as ours...funny right!!"

me: " haha, ya may be but I really wanted to get on that train"

Stranger lady: "So did I, I had a 9am meeting...and moreover it took a while to figure out the D6 station coz I am new to this place.."

me : " aa , where are you from....??"

Right then I see the same old lady interrupting in our conversation

Old Lady : " Heyloo galss! AllGood?? "

Stranger lady : " Omgg U are back again, I think I dropped my coffee on myself and I missed my train..Alll because of youuu...."

me: "Hoho chillaxx , she is an elder person...but even u dropped ur coffee because of her??"

SL : " oh yeah, I saw that she hit you but as she ran towards me, she happen to hit me with the same force... seems like she planned to hit us both..."

Old lady : " Nawoo Nawoo , I did not Intend to do it"

Me: "yeah!!, its cool mam, no offense.."

the old lady site next to this stranger gal and say "did you both realize , you had a same intense of the fate"

the SL and me look at each other and gave a clueless reaction.

The old lady digs out two cookies from her bag and gives us both each.

me: "No thanks ! mam" I dont believe in fortune cookies

Old lady: " They are not fortune cookies, they are Swap cookies" and she give a smeary smile..."Have them gals, they do no harm but have them at the same time both of you.."

SL: " oh ok, I am hungry anyways..." she looks at me and says " common I can not have unless you dont according to what she says...dont think so much , have them..."

she whispers in my ears and says " I am sure, looking at her she can not harm us..hehe"

and I eat the cookie at the same time when SL eats.

Zoooooooooooooop.............

Keep Dreaming......

Given a chance as in Inception I would wonna re-live just one dream of mine which I had this noon and then come back to reality.....

It was an absolutely calm Sunday afternoon with no work load or academic homework thoughts. I was as usual facebooking when I just fell asleep.....

Zooooooop......I was in a random international airport(did nt seem like JFK though) with baggage and I see my mum walking towards me , I have no idea what's going on...and what am I doing here? Am I departing somewhere or Have I arrived?? My mum looks absolutely gorgeous as usual and the way she was walking towards me seemed like she was in hurry....

Mom: "Why are you standing here like a statue , lets go!!! .. I just called them from the telephone line out thr (and she points out in the direction from where she just came..) and they were in the airport from the past hour , it seems they could nt find us. I just told them we are right outside the Terminal A , B Swing."

...Okhay now I know that we have just arrived from somewhere but whom is she referring to as "they" , who is coming to pick us up? and where exactly in the world are we? I could nt ask these questions to my mum because she would think I have become a retard after stepping out of Newyork....While this thought process was going on I looked at myself in the the glass entrance... I just could nt believe what I was seeing...though my mum looks as she was , I dont look like 23 anymore....Guess I am 30.. I wonder what date and year I had moved in??

Mom: " Here they are... " (and a huge smile on her face when she see's an amazing couple walking towards us and they seem like the same age as my mum..)

Stranger Aunty to my mom: "How are you?? How was the trip?? This is the first time you are in London , so we thought we would come over to pick you up , though Manisha knows the place (and she winks at me)....Anyways , Accept our apology for being late , as there was a mistake in the arrival schedule so we were looking for you in the swing A.."

Mom: " Thank you, its all fine..(with the same length of smile)

Stranger Uncle: " How was your flight manisha...??"

Me: "yeah..It was Great ....(what do I call them? Uncle n Aunty? or are they my relatives and I am suppose to call them with specific "Indian relative's title"??? ....I have no idea)

....and wait a minute when did I know about London?? This is the first time I am here....hmm :(

We go to a red bricked house which did nt seem familiar at all.... and by their conversations in the car seemed like they have been living here for long...

Aunty: "Manisha why dont you show your mum the guest room, and Bhanu (my mum's name) why dont you freshen up and come down for lunch....I have made arrangements already..."

Mom: "sure" .....

I felt like saying what "sure" mom...I dont know where what room is? I am here for the first time myself..... :?..kinda I figured out and showed her the right room..Hmm how did my sub-conscious mind direct me to the right room?? and I firstly kept my baggage in the guest room..and Uncle helped me with the rest of the baggage to the guest room when he looked at me and said....

Uncle: "Oh!!!...so you wonna stay with your mom huh...??? (with a sweet smile....He actually reminds me of a retired army officer with that command and passion)

I just smiled in return...and we go down to have lunch...where I see Aunty busily cooking...the authentic south Indian food....wooo (she is like this idle combo of mother,wife and a sucessful working women.....)

Me: "Mum , do you want me to help you...."....(oops I was like , what did I say??...Before I could correct it to Aunty...)

Aunty: "she smiles and says, no..relax! , talk to your mom...its all done...I made your fav Sambar"...(and she gives her divine smile ... which makes me feel so comfortable with her)

After lunch,....Uncle seemed to have gone out for some work and Aunty and my mom were having the most exotic chat which made me fall asleep on the couch while viewing outside the window ..I get the best sleep when I just listen to these older women chit chat about the Indian weddings and the recent social gossips..

I was still sleeping and I was guessing in my mind that it could be almost past 6 , coz the sun was nt on me from the window anymore but I was too lazy to even wake up...felt like home..not even once the thought came across my mind that I was in a new house....

Then someone puts the comforter over me , and still keeps his arm around me, sits on his knees and is watching me sleep.....I can sense all that..but I was too confused and stuck with million questions in my mind to open my eye's......then I get a kiss on my forehead....

woo....It was seriously the most divine feeling I have ever had...my heart just forgot about skips, I would have given it a ticket for beating so fast......Holy Heaven!!! who is this??? and I open my eye's......

And I go speechless the moment I see him....

Stranger: "Welcome back !!! sweetheart....Missed you like crazy...(and he had the same smile and mysterious look on his eye's......)

Well , now I get a picture of where I am...Is this Heaven!!!

But Is seemed like reality and I was married to my luuuv of life, and "they" were my in-laws...

Mum (/ Aunty): " oh..here is my son, finally he found sometime to visit home..huh!!"

Him: "oh yes mum, where is mom"

My Mom: "Hello beta..how are ya??? How is work??"

Him: "quite cool mom, How was your journey?? "

and I am still sitting on the couch thinking ....woooooo..he looks even more handsome as husband with the way he is handling the new relations and responsibilities.

Then I take the comforter and go up to keep it back in his room and he walks in with my baggage...

Him: " Come on , I met Dad in the hospital..he came to pick me up as I broke my car...and in the conversation while driving back home I get to know that you will stay with your mom in the guest room....and that is just not acceptable....you were living with your mom all these months..and you gotta stay here now...and all parents will understand...what say??? ........(and he winks...)

I was like...Oh mann!!! when did he learn demanding , that use to be me who always use to demand in our relationship and he was just a listener which often use to annoy me...I like this change again :)

I smile at him and turn towards the closet of that room and I say to him : "this closet is just like the closet I have in my Syracuse House...."

Him: " yeah!! really? , U still remember that house..thank god Newyork City did nt make so much of a difference...."

Which makes me think...did I move from Syracuse to NYC??? when on earth did this happen? btw...when on earth did I marry??

Before all those questions could be answered.........

Knock on my door...

Zooooooooooooooop..........I wake up to reality..and see that my roommate is knocking on my door..

Me: " Yaaaa"

Roomie: " we are going to the mall...do you wonna join???" .....

GOsh...at that moment, I gave her a witty smile and said :"My dear!!! you just spoiled my beautiful dream......!!!"

Roomie: "Wooo.....London Dreams Huh!!!..I am so glad...If you can not go to London in reality...trying the free route...lol" (and she giggles and walks out....and I throw a pillow at her)

I sit back and think..Hope this comes true..but for now...I am happy I am 23 again...:)and really gotta do something about how I look from now on , so that I dont complain when I am 30....:)

Never say to your ur beloved "you lost your heart.." , coz if he is a medical student he would rather transplant it....

Gals!!! THink: ...."Are we the most desired topic of discussion to Most men????"...(excluding those who are geeks...n 4 ur info, ur doubts about yet otherwise , turn up to be our good friends though ;) )..."

Well...The above statement is the most interesting topic of discussion among all gals...

Sounds crazy right???....but that's exactly what Girl Gossip is all about....:)

Ahhhhh!!!Gals will be Girls , true:).......Coz, We can spend like hour's and hour's over the phone or in person just to talk about our crush's, what did he say in the recent phone conversations?? what is he doing this weekend?? why did he ask me out even for fun, does he like me???What's going on through his mind while he made any kinda specific gesture like even moving his hand on the table towards the gal's hand during a lunch/dinner ??? Is he trying to impress me by being a gentleman...among my friends?? etc etc...

Though the guy of our interest spends like the most minimum time possible with us ... but to our girl-friends we will have hour's an hour's of story to tell.....because we analyze on every line he spoke, starting 4rm what kind of cloths he wore when he is coming to see you till very gesture he makes during the conversation. The hit list in the analysis being if his eye's are just stuck on you while he is talking to you ?? because we wonna know if we had made that impact on him so that no other beauty can drift him...he can not take a detour!!!!

Well...and to all those "Most men" who are curious to know what gal's talk for so long ....trust me its all about the discussions as said above.....but trust me , dont be happy :) that you have been given so much time being thought about because its not about your category sweethearts :)...

I can not generalize all girls in this perspective because some really act dumb but those women who really think that ..."when I am finding it so difficult to convince him....No other gal will make an attempt to chase this man...." always go for the category of "Geeks".....

Geeks...r those who r alien to the business of Love, relationships ,marriage etc coz 4 them books,knowledge,experiments,study etc etc make life.....they consider themselves normal and polite people because they do not waste time by falling into any kinda "human discussions: Gossips" because if he is a medical student he would consider human beings are his lab experiments and for an engineering geek, human's are experiments for understanding emotional science.

Hence even when we know the facts we tend to ignore them while dating these "Geeks" , and try to see the reality in a difference sense while the truth being ......

Gestures he makes during our so called "presumption of a date"... is just a moment of unexpected behavior in his sense like moving his hand on the table would be because he would want to grab some water before he could start his thesis about the gal , and the care and concern he shows would be not to impress us but to make us feel comfortable so that we can help him with his paper or experiment. He will anyways not be interested in drifting his eye's away from "the prey" which is the gal coz we are his primary element of successful completion of his thesis.....

Can such a man ever know the meaning of Love, relationship or marriage???..... Mystery....Shhhhh!!!....but we girls LOVE solving such puzzles and help them get a life...;) because we know they will be the best lovers when committed and more than true to us when they become husbands. The most deserving girl will be treated like the Angel in their lives since she will be the first and the last one who would have ever made a difference in their lives...:)

If in this lifetime, I m nt ur's, I'll make sure that if I meet you in my next life I would nt think twice 2 say "I waited a lifetime to say I Luv U"

A very famous quote about Love ......

"If You Really Love Someone Set It Free.
If He Comes Back He Was Meant To Be Yours, If Not He Wasn't Meant To Be.."

I still remember the eighth grade literature class when I first heard this saying from my teacher. Today !!! Cheers to my memory , I do not remember the context on which she spoke but I still remember those lines as they had an amazing impact on me for few days way back then...

After school in those days ...during the ride back home , I use to repeat these two lines like a million times in my mind for no reason.... It was just like a child's fascination to cherish the new learnings. The kind of questions which crossed my mind were ..... How could someone phrase a simple meaning of expressing that the greatest happiness of love is in accepting the reality with a smile , in the most elegant and beautiful lines.

Of course cherishing few lines, articles or books is harmless but when it comes to applying them in our own lives then its totally different...:)...

For someone like me who was always in her "lala" land of love stories like the cinderella, snow white etc...I use to think genuinely that every gal in this world is a princess and a prince Charles is just custom made for her in this world somewhere and will be placed in her life in the right time....This was even proven with the release of DDLJ that year...aaaahhhh!!! and the diversion went from Prince Charles to Raj.... fantasy land palace to LONDON Bridge....

So!!!! That was the the time when the perception changed and started taking its place in actual people's world and not the Disney world......But even then the actual meaning of those lines had not hit me.....for that I had to first fall in love and ofcourse not with the dream Raj...

I use to think.....ahhh when I will see him , what will happen? what will go wrong? will the world stop around me? will my heart skip alternative beats??? lol.....etc etc...just like a typical teenager.....

Well...!!! but Time answers all of them that were just left as "???"........With time loads of emotions change ... Graduation, leaving home , getting over home sickness and missing parents , learning to live alone , cherishing all those college memories and friends , making new friends, new job , work , tension and finally just moving on as life takes you..........and there you hit the REALITY and by then you have already forgotten about those two lines......since you never got a chance to meet Mr.Right as you dreamt

Well...SO!!! now If I see my cousin who is a teenager , I see the same dreams reflecting in her eyes and I look back and laugh at myself that I imagined my Mr.Right to enter my life exactly the same way like in DDLJ ....lol....but I never realized that each one of us have a completely different love story to say and My Story beats even my dreams....:)

I failed to analyze that I was always in love with my Mr.Right whom I always knew...Those two lines made an impact on me way back then because I was in love and all those beautiful stories made an impact on me because I was in love. It just took a while to understand that my soul mate had always been next me as my best friend right from that eight grade. Now, I am living a reality with an element of love but then the meaning hits me more now because here is the time when I had to let him go....and here I wait......forever

My way......

Dear misfit,

I am sure all the fat single women think just the way Mahi thinks...and as far as my observation goes they take life as it comes.
Frankly i think all the misfit singles must crown themselves as the most prettiest and unbeatable from all the 10 on 10's...
well...just think about it , having a perfect physic,beauty,brains,job and wealth makes life so boring Dyudeeeee....
Rather enjoy life with the imperfections....

I really hope if there was an options to rewind lives..i would LOVE to relive those school n college days....those hang outs at bessy beach , whiling away time at coffee day ,chasing friend's bf's bike with our bicycles , jumping from the classroom window, bunking classes, stopping buses in the middle of the road , that sandwich stall in front of the Alsamall(chennai), gifting a bag of rice on best pal's b'day, convincing the police man on signal breaks with spontaneous stories....n all the crazy stuff.....

Zooooooooop....back to present....considering past remains as sweet memories and future as the dreams to come true...there is nothing to talk about present coz it is a beautiful feeling of LIVING....awwww

My switch from Chennai to Newyork was like a life FROM a happy go lucky , totally peaceful and life is a like a dreamland kinda mindset TO life is work work work, managing time, seriousness to achieve success and life is like reality at stack kinda perception.

hmmm....a perfect life that everyone wants sucks...The excitement on seeing that "nukkad ka chai stall" is 10times more that seeing the Starbucks.... Aalloo ki sabji rox than Alfredo cheese pasta....

Though i miss my good old days...When i walk on the street's of the Times square the enthusiasm reveals that yippee...dreams do come true and i did dream of this moment...and that makes me feel so good about myself.
No matter if someone cares about me or no, no matter if there is ever a proposal written in ma life or no , no matter if there are any surprises for me or no.....i crown myself as the princess of the world, though people laugh on ma "blubbling mind , n spontaneous gestures and physical appearance....."..i say "I DONT CARE" ... i m me,myself and i m the best ;-)...........

just try saying these lines aloud standing in the middle of the times square......woooo..it really feels awsome to do such stupidity at times.....lol
Mahi is so close to so many misfit lives.....

A good-bye is never painful unless you’re never going to say hello again.

Since the hope of return always prevails , I depart in silence with no good-bye's....

I can not alter the past , the present may seem scrambled and the future is totally destined for me to step in...
but this very hope of saying a "hello" someday in future gives the spirit to step into a different world and start a new beginning.

Every beginning was the end of another phrase in life and the memories of which are always cherished but people who played a role in every previous phrase make a lot of difference in the next phrase ...
A friend from the past in the future!!
unlikely situations may get replayed!!
or may be the friends of the friends connections can haunt or help....;-)!!!

there is nt a good-bye since i dont leave the people behind n walk ahead..i walk with there memories and with them sometimes....
i just walk ahead crossing many milestones and acquiring the changes with time..
When i look back i realize that home was nowhere here. Home was there from where i had started this journey of life and the people who were part of my home then may not be still there to welcome me...but i still have to go back to say a "hello" because there lies the heaven for me...and i know i will relive the best days at my home after i die...
