AUDACITY OF HOPE

AUDACITY OF HOPE

Free to wear low waist jeans and tight tops

free to colour hair red and nails black

Free to wear stilettos and high heels

Free to dress without the fear of judgement

Free to be me

That's the audacity of hope

Free to gossip about who's who

Free to bung on food

without the fear of gaining weight

Free to contretemps with enemies

without being contrite

Free to dance in the rains

without the fear of getting drenched

That's the audacity of hope

Free to ride the bike at the highest possible speed

without the helmet

Free to wear the same torn jeans

Free to sleep late and wake up late

Free to go around with other guys

without being caught

Free to be me

That's the audacity of hope.

Ye Dilli hai meri jaan

So , it's 11 pm right now and i have some energy left to gather myself by the mere mention of Delhi . It is rightly said that "ye dilli hai meri jaan bas ishq , mohabbat ,pyaar " . Delhi is really the pride of India when you will visit it then only you will realise why good roads let aside the metro construction blockages n et al , excellent site seeing places like quatab minar , jama masjid , Indira Gandhi residence ( this is a must visit ) , doll's museum , appu park ,hard luck it's closed now it was such a lovely place n not to forget malls they r really very very good . So enough of positive things but the one major negative thing that i had experienced was that people in Delhi are very self centric this can be attributed to lack of time or whatever but this is a fact almost everyone will agree to . Qutub minar is really very artistic and it's curvaceous figure can't be surpassed , there is a jail also and behind it is a big area with various crests and troughs and i must tell you this is the best part coz when you star running from the top your speed is slow and by the time you reach ground your speed is so much that you are about to fall and i have experienced it several times but unfortunately i never got to experience the milieu at old Delhi that is chandani chiks oops !!chandani chok but will surely visit there once . So this is Sonali singning off for now , good night . There is on quote that i have created it myself n here it goes "Early to bed and early to rise and your girlfriend goes with the other guys "

CHILDHOOD FLASHBACK

ET DAYS

I am writing this just to thank my friends who were with me from the starting of my school days just to tell them that they are the most precious gifts given to me by God and i feel really lucky to have such good people in my life . Ok class 4th ET the name that comes to my mind is Nimisha Mitra aka nimi or mini we were really very close friends accompaning her where ever she went i was completely in awe of her good personality , excellant acads n what a good handwriting i was impressed with her and so made her my friend , she was my fm radio yaar singing all the time and no points for guessing that later she did visrat in singing and still with me . How could i forget the PT display drills we did together we were made jokers n looking really vey funny . There was this Princy who always had some quarells with me and once she did the biggest theft of her life by stealing my hindi copy and we had this major fight and then nimi was my support . Ankita Mandal ,she was also with me from childhood and were best friends i almost everyday visited her house and we played games that i can't reveal but ya they were very interesting ... and besides that our school was a christian school so there were stories of ghosts looming large on campus we used to make planchets unbelievable .. believe it and there were strange stories that if you would call an atma in toilet or some dirty place there was more chances of it comming n some girls even saw the ghost appear , scary !!! ya and one thing more there was a mad and psyco maid who used to become very angry on seeing the colour red there was a story behind it will tell it sm day .Beside that i was very naughty as a child as i am now the whackies thing that i did then was to pull a rickshaw with my friends sitting and no points for guessing that the rickshaw puller complained and i was scolded . So that was the time spent in Emma Thompson . Lastly , i just want to name some more friends like Farah , Arpita Banerjee thats all that i am remembering . I left it in class 5th and went to delhi after that tell you about that in later posts.

JUST BECAUSE SHE IS AN ORDINARY WOMEN

Sitting in her tiny house she thought to herself

what women's day means to her

why people round the world are going crazy about this day

as this day has not changed anything for her

just because she is a women

and that too ordinary women .

Papers from all over the world

are full with the achievements of women

but does she figure in the list

no

why??

just because she is an ordinary women

devoting her life to bring her children

is that not the biggest achievement

just because she struggles to make ends meet

with her litle income

just because she is not educated

but makes an extra effort to make her kids educated

just because she eats once

to make her kids have bread and butter

just because she pushes herself to the limits

to have that extra money

just because she is a women

and that too ordinary women .

She is not ostentious She spots the vermillion She is optimistic in the vicissitutes of life She does'nt discriminate between her kids just because she is an women and that too ordinary. Her efforts don't count to the making of a successful nation it's rather the privilage of some ellite women just because she is nameless, faceless and countless but she is also as much to be appreciated her efforts are also meant to be counted because she is the real women of our society one who fights destiny one who is there with her kiths and kins through their thicks and thins just because she is a women and that too an ordinary women .

LIFE IS CLASSROOM BIG

LIFE IS CLASSROOM BIG

WHERE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THE PERSON

WHO NEVER LOOKS AT YOU

WHERE YOU COMPETITE WITH YOUR FRIENDS

TO GRAB HIS ATTENTION

WHERE YOU WAKE UP EARLY TO REACH THE SCHOOL

JUST TO TALK TO HIM ALONE

WHERE YOU FINISH LAST IN COMPETITION

JUST TO MAKE HIM WIN

LIFE IS A CLASSROOM BIG

WHERE YOU PLAY TRUTH AND DARE

AND SHRUG OFF AT THE MERE THOUGHT OF TRUTH

WHERE YOU STARE THE PERSON YOU ADORE

KNOWING THAT PEOPLE AROUND YOU ARE LOOKING AT YOU

WHERE YOU PARK YOUR BICYCLE NEXT TO HIS

JUST TO HAVE A WORD WITH HIM .

THE FACE

THE FACE WHICH I ONCE SAW IN THE MARKET PLACE

IT WAS NO ORDINARY FACE

IT WAS A FACE WHICH GAVE ME SOLACE

IT WAS A FACE THAT I FOUND AFTER LONG PACE

IT WAS A FACE THAT GUIDED ME

IT WAS A FACE THAT ENCOURAGER ME

IT WAS A FACE THAT MOTIVATED ME

IT WAS A FACE THAT MADE ME

THAT FACE NOW RESIDES IN ME

THAT FACE NOW CONTROLS ME

THAT FACE NOW SEES THAT EVERY STEP OF MINE

IS FOR WELL FARE OF PEOPLE AROUND ME

THE PERSON WITH THAT FACE

MIGHT HAVE ENDED HIS LIFE

BUT HE IS NOW LIVING THROUGH ME.

WHY LIFE IS NOT AS ROSY AS IT APPEARS

WHY LIFE IS NEVER AS ROSY AS IT APPEARS

SOMETMES I ASK THIS QUESTION TO MYSELF

IN THE MORNING DAWN AND THE EVENING DUSK

WHY ARE WE LEFT ALONE IN THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHTS

WHY ARE WE LEFT ALONE IN RAINS TO CRY

WHY LIFE IS NOT AS ROSY AS IT APPEARS

WHY THINGS NEVER TURN THE WAY

WE WISH THEM TO APPEAR

WHY WE DON'T GET WHAT WE ASPIRE OF

WHY ARE OUR ASPIRATIONS CHAINED DOWN

BY OUR MERE LUCK

WHY LIFE IS NOT AS ROSY AS IT APPEARS

WHEN EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE ALRIGHT

WHEN LIFE SEEMS TO BE AGAIN STABLISING

WHY ARE WE ALWAYS TRAPPED AT THE CROSSROAD OF RELATIONSHIPS

NOT KNOWING WHERE IT WOULD LEAD

WHY LIFE IS NOT AS ROSY AS IT APPEARS

WHY WE ARE ALWAYS BETRAYED BY THOSE WHOM WE LOVE THE MOST

WHY THEY DITCH US WHEN WE SUPPORT THEM THE MOST

WHY THEY MAKE US FEEL OFFENDED

WHY THEY LEAVE US WHEN WE WANT THEM THE MOST

WHY WE ARE LEFT ALONE

WITH NO ONE TO HELP

WITH NO ONE TO UNDERSTAND

THIS IS LIFE WHICH IS NOT AS ROSY AS IT APPEARS.
