Is there really a happy ending for all of us?

This post is not meant to be sad or one of dejection. In fact it is a thought, a reality or a proablity that I have been doddling with for quite some time now.

Through all my years, all 27 of them, everytime things went wrong or dint go my way, I was told by friends, family and sometimes by movies and books that for every bad thing that hapens, life compensates with something good. I grew up with this belief and took this concept for granted and waited for a whole lot of compensations. But what got me thinking about this was when I read about tragedies that have happened to people over time across geographies which could not have been compensated for. History tells us a lot of stories and a whole lot of them are about tragedies that have happened to mankind and for most of them there has been only pain and suffering. The Nazi concentrations camps, the world war, sati system, slavery, civil wars... the list can be endless.. Then I read about biographies of people Parveen Babi, Rekha beautiful people with tragic lives. Yes there can be arguments that some of the choices they  made caused them pain but overall there has been uncompensated suffering. Two incidents that has happened in my time... the Taj bomb blast and the Jill Meager murder case which really shook me up to the reality of tragedy.

Im not saying that we should all live in the hopelessness of a happy ending, just that a happy ending cannot be taken for granted. So many of us today complain about little pain and setbacks forgetting that no one really promised that all wishes will be fulfilled and that there are deeper and stronger wishes that god needs to fulfill across humanity. So my message is to count our blessings and pray for a happy ending!

The old list!

Every girl has this conversation with herself once every now and then.. This conversation is about the feel good factor, the little self motivation, the personal cheer of the solo cheerleading squad which she needs every time reality kicks. So what is this reality? the dream job being turned down, the girlfriends not being there over the weekend, the parental pressure or the most common but very painful one - the breakup!

Yes the song "we are women, hear me roar" was written with great thought and spirit as it was about picking ourselves up when times are down or making no matter what the circumstance. But life is never easy and everyone needs a bit of help! This help is the personal chat with ourselves which helps us gals see the larger picture of life and smile through the pain.

This blog is about my list, my own version of "when the dog bites! when the bee stings! when I'm feeling sad! I simply remember my favorite things, and then I dont feel, sooo baaa-aaa-aa-dd!"

1. To look beautiful and tempting at the same time - so get a haircut and buy the way too expensive dress"
2. To travel to a foreign land and find myself - look at Europe tour options and plan a holiday
3. To become a writer for my favorite publication - so I write in my blog
4. To write in my diary or read my book in a quaint little cafe - go to a cafe asap
5. To be saved by my prince - watch my favorite films
6. To relive the favorite dream of the perfect proposal - play my favorite song

This is to all my girls who dare to dream and dream again! love you all

Why the title?

From the time I sarted talking about myself seriously, which came from a place from getting to oneself a little bit, I told people that "I am a people's person". Whether it was a job interview or a discussion on what I would like to do. It's only now that I have understand myself a littel bit more and the realisation that hit me triggered this blog. It may seem very obvious and not at all an aha! moment to few but to me it was and it made me feel good about myself.

Comfort of conversations is a tremendous comfort to me. The warm feeling of being able to express oneself through words and seeing the listener understand that and reciprocate is a sense of wonderful security and joy. we remember different encounters in life for different reasons, some of us remember achievements, some rememeber painful events, some moments of togetherness with a close one, some great bargains and purchases while some, travels and picturesque scenes.. What i rememeber the most are conversations that I have had with certain people, which have stayed with me and keep coming back to me and its those moments that i look out for everytime I meet someone new.. To me, that's the most exciting part of knowing someone and remembering them..

Not too difficult to guess that Im a romantic at heart and believe in the power of words a lot.. But sometimes I must agree that silence communicates a lot too and can be more powerful than the said word.. however, this blog is definitely not about silences:) 

A stranger seems less strange after the first hello, the comfort of conservations begins after that.....
