Happy B'day to me! ;-)

23 years of my life have moved past Today!

Life has been a roller-coaster ride all these years. I sit back and reminisce on my yesteryears and it brings a smile on my face. The childhood was so full of carefree attitude.

The birthdays used to be a festival day where I used to be the queen of my house and everyone used to take care of all my needs on that day.

My mother never used to scold me for I gave her this excuse that This is my Day, so you cannot scold me.!!! :-)

Lunch box used to have special lunch meals and extra items used to be there in the box so that my friends can relish it.

All the children used to try to get close to the b'day girl/boy as they used to think that the b'day girl/boy would give extra chocolate to them.

People used to get to know about the b'day girl/boy by the special b'day dress they used to wear.

Telling others and showing special attitude was a thing of pleasure.

I used to wait for the evening to come for my mom is preparing delicacies (the best in this world)for the fete.

All the colony friends used to come and then the much awaited cake cutting ceremony would happen.

I never used to take care of the things for my parents used to take care of it. I was only concerned for the gifts that I used to get.

And after the party, the time for the opening ceremony of the gifts. :-)

Those were the days..the best days.

I miss them.

Things have changed...

Now b'day celebration means going to a good restaurant.

Pizza/Burger has taken up the place of home made Chole Bhature.

Cold drinks and all havetaken up the place of Rasna and Roohhafza Sharbat.

The B'day girl/boy is suppose to take care of all the little intricacies and not your parents.

Mum's kiss is not there but a phone call away.

Dad's special pocket money doesn't count much now as the big salary of yours is there to spend.

I have great friends around and I know I am going to have a rocking celebration today...it is just that those childhood memories are so vivid that I felt like scribbling them.

I feel so great and a smile comes over on my face whenever I think about those festive days of my life.

Life takes its twist but alas we get used to it. :-)

Missing you Mummy-Papa and Love you loads.

And finally Happy B'day to me!!! :-)

Gulon Mein......

They say, Music takes out your emotions.
Music speaks what cannot be expressed,
soothes the mind and gives it rest,
heals the heart and makes it whole,
flows from heaven to the soul.
It happens with almost everyone at times that whenever we listen to something
really good,we get high on emotions.
Lately, I am listening to this song and I am actually in love with it.

When people hear good music,
it makes them homesick for something they never had, and never will have.
I listen to this song and I feel like going to a Hill station, going to places
close to the nature, having a cup of tea with my loved ones in a beautiful weather
on the road side,going for a long ride, sitting at the beach seeing the sunset,
taking an afternoon siesta on the grass in the lap of my love,going to the temple,
sitting in the terrace when it is drizzling outside and eating bhajiya,making
a nice sketch or design something creative and a lot many other feelings come
and obviously when this song is running in the background.

I am in awe with the kind of creativity these music directors show.
I revere the creators of these musical instruments.
I respect people who have written such wonderful songs and people who
have given life to them.

Wanna know the lyrics, Read on:


Gulon mein rang bhare
Baad-e-naubahaar chale
Chale bhi aao.. ke gulshan ka.. karobar chale (2)

Khwabon ka din hai.. dekho hawayein
Suna rahi hai khushiyon ki dastaan
Main choom loonga.. baahein uthaakar
Khwahishon ka neela neela aasmaan
Jaane kahaan yeh.. baadal chale hai
Kiss aur boondon.. ki mehfilein hai
Bheegi hai rooh meri.. kaisa yeh khumaar chale
Chale bhi aao.. ke gulshan ka..
karobar chale

Gulon mein rang bhare
Baad-e-naubahaar chale
Chale bhi aao.. ke gulshan ka..
karobar chale

Humne suna hai.. chhote se haathon mein
Chaahe to samaaye.. saara jahaan
Hatheliyon mein.. thaame hai
Hamaare.. buzurgon ki nayi dua
Hum hai sikandar.. hum shehzaade
Chhote kadam hai.. bade hai iraade
Buri nazar se kaho.. hum nazar uthaar chale
Chale bhi aao.. ke gulshan ka..
karobar chale

Gulon mein rang bhare
Baad-e-naubahaar
chale Chale bhi aao..
ke gulshan ka.. karobar chale
