Vidushi Gupta : The SoulHome

    I searched the world for a missing part of me             But I couldn't find it any place,               I searched for it everywhere         And I searched it trying many ways.           I thought I could find it somewhere             I thought I would get it with time,    I thought I would definitely find it someday          And I thought it would only be mine.        I never dreamt I could find it in a person              Till one day.....I finally met you,               I looked deeply into your eyes         And I found my missing part there too.        I know that now I am  complete  But amused,I asked myself that how I couldn't see,     You were there with me all this time        And I searched the world  When it was you,who was the missing part of me.                                                     

      "Wishing all of you a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.Enjoy. :)" 

I really don't think that anyone of us know someone who hasn't missed any opportunity in his/her lifetime.At-least I don't.But everyone of us definitely know a lot of people who cry over lost opportunities.Everyone of us do that,even I do that.It's a human behavior.But you know what,opportunities,once gone,never come back.At-least not in the same way.And accept it or not,it's true.Then,what should we do about lost opportunities,apart crying ?. The answer is simple.Forget them.Yes.Let them go.They are not coming back.Your whining about them won't help.And the next best step to take is,to create new opportunities for yourself.One of the most difficult reality of life is the truth that it isn't going to be fair.And because life is not going to be fair,its not going to give you too many opportunities.It's going to give you numbered,and even from that few ones,you are going to miss some.So,to make all of it a fair deal,there is one thing we all badly need to

" Crying figures out a lot.The one who makes you cry,but you don't want to cry for,could be someone......anyone to you.And then there is the one who will never want to make you cry,but for whom you could readily cry for.........is the one you are going to find your forever in..." 

"I am your home.No matter how far you travel in life,I know,that one day,you will come back.For comfort,peace,security,happiness and love.And the fact is,irrespective of time and circumstances,I will always be there,at the same place,waiting for you to return to me."

          " I won't stop you from walking away,because I believe, that you never will "

"Dear folks...you cannot shape your life the way you want it by looking at the model of other's life,whom so ever they may be.Never forget one thing.....that they have a different road to walk on and destination to reach than yours.Your road might be muddy and their's,concreted.....or vice-a-verse.It is possible that they could reach where they want to,earlier than you reach your aim.But that doesn't mean that someone is a winner,and other the loser.It's simply about the blueprint we sketch for our lives,and it's different from person to person.NEVER-EVER leave your road,and try to walk on someone else's,simply because you misunderstand that it will take you to your goal,because.....the fact is....it is going to take you no-where.No matter how long it takes.....live your life your own way......work hard for accomplishing your dreams according to your plan.It is possible that it could take you a little longer to reach where you wanted to,but you will always

Every day is a day to live again.Life is not a fairy tale.But the morning is the most positive time of the day which makes you believe in the power of hope.With the cup of tea or coffee or juice or milk,one should try to plan to do something new everyday.You can choose your way of living your life and not feeling guilty.Make a wish,and then take a action to make the wish come true.This is a small step to make your impossible dreams turn into reality.The year is almost coming to an end,it's time for life changing resolutions.Start asking questions.Take a notepad,start evaluating your life.List the changes you want to see in your life.Make sure you give something of yourself everyday-to your family,friends and society.It's important to tell yourself," I care for myself."Everyday ,you should spend sometime in solitude.It will help you heal.It's time to breathe.Every day is an opportunity to transform and be happy;allow yourself the time and space to do so.This time

I am not sure how many of you have watched this movie.If you have....then,you would have learnt something very important about love,and life.And if you haven't.....well,then I would recommend you to first go and watch the movie,and then come back to read what I've to tell you about.Anyways,I,simply loved the movie to the core,and,a couple of days ago,I was watching it again.Although the whole movie is simply amazing,but the part that I personally like the most is.........the letter.The letter which Sophie writes to Claire.....which she reads at the day of wedding.So I just wanted to share that meaningful and soulful letter with you all.So here it goes.... " 'What' and 'if' are two words as non-threatening as words can be.But put them together side-by- side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life : 'What if ?'. I don't know how your story ended,but I know that if what you felt then was love-true love-,then it's never t

                                                    "What is failure ?                                              It's the absence of success..!!                                                      What is success ?                                           It's the consequence of failure..!!" 

Last year,during my stay in Jaipur,one day I was out at the mall.Now,I have this disease,that whenever I visit places like these,alone or with someone else,the first thing I search for is a bookstore.And that day too,this ritual continued.So,after few minutes,I was standing inside a reputed bookstore,looking at some new releases,some old classics,or to be honest,at everything. So,after sometime,I finally found a book that interested me.As i was busy reading from the book's back cover,I felt someone jumping behind me.I turned around and saw a little 8-9 year old boy,who was indeed jumping to reach a book.An unintentional smile came to my lips,almost like an involuntary action.I went towards him and asked softly "Which one do you want ?".At first,the little boy was surprised,almost shocked.....or maybe,he was simply deciding whether I was intelligent enough to understand which one does he wants.Whatever was the reason,after 10 more seconds of complex calculation,he final

"You think you are different ? Well that's a lie.There are a lot of people out there like you.                      The truth is,you are not different.....you are unique..!!"

                                "Converting your dreams into your reality.....                       Will need your hard work,and not your desire for the dream....!! "                      

                                                 "To take a high jump....                                 You have to first take some steps backwards...!!"

Once there was a little boy.He was not so good at studies.His teachers used to term him as idiot,brain-less,foolish chap,who was extremely misfit for school.There was no way they could make him learn anything.On the other hand,the "foolish" boy always used to wonder,what's the point of cramming dates when we could easily look them in the books.? What's the point of studying about the geography of earth,when we are not going to remember them anyway.Well,one day,the war ended,and the boy was out of school.His mother,who had mountain strong faith in him,taught him at home. Some years down the lane,the "foolish" boy invented the first commercially practical and usable electric light.That "foolish" boy was none other than Thomas Alva Edison. Almost all of us have traveled by airplanes.Back in the 1800's,the airplanes didn't even existed.Then one day,two "crazy" brothers,experimented  hot-air balloons,gliders, in the air.The people lau

Alright.Lets start with an experiment.Take a cup.Now fill it with water.Come on.Keep on filling.What happened? Why did you stopped.Oh..!! I see.The water is falling out from the cup. Isn't it? Fine.You could now keep the cup aside and clean the counter.Done with it? Lets carry on then !! You stopped filing the cup,not because it couldn't hold the water,but because,the water started to fall out.A cup has a limited capacity to hold,and we all know that.Anything more than that capacity fall out,and hence,is wasted.You could fill the same cup with water,tea,coffee,petrol,alcohol,mud.....or any substance of your choice.But remember,after reaching it's capacity,the cup would not accept anything.The cup doesn't care what you fill it with,what it cares about is the fact how much you are pouring into it..!! Guys,the same theory goes with all of us as well.We are like cups,ready to accept information,knowledge,news,feelings,facts,emotions etc.But the problem is,like cup,we all a

Do not dream of someone Who could die for you, But for someone who could teach you how to live instead..... Do not expect someone who will never fight with you, But someone who will value you more than the fight....... Do not run after someone Who has moved on, But after someone Who has every reason to do so,but chooses to hold on..... Do not try to search for someone Who has the solution to every problem of your's, But for someone who is patient and compassionate enough to listen to your problems......... Do not choose someone Who constantly forces you to change for better, But for someone Who could change you into your best ,without forcing......... Do not wait for someone Who could listen to your dreams, But for someone Who could understand and live them with you.................... Do not look out for someone Who is perfect, But for someone Who could laugh at your mistakes to cheer you up........... And finally,don't fantasize about someone Who is capable of being loved

Here is a collection of some really wonderful writings,which i read and accumulated from different sources,at different times :- *You need to have the passion to make things work but also the dispassion to let go.When you don't crave for abundance,it comes to you. *Most importantly,the sign of success is overwhelming joy,confidence,compassion,generosity and a smile that none can snatch away.Whatever happen's in life,if you can keep these-then you have really found success. *For me,even the destruction should be creative enough. *I am not interested in it,I am just good at it. *It is not the length of life which makes a difference,it is the depth of life. *The true wisdom of living is living moment to moment.If you've to plan for the future,plan in the moment.When the mind has learnt to be happy in the moment,then planning for the future will be out of happiness and thus you will learn to create happiness. *Talk-softly,Breathe-deeply,Dress-smartly,Work-patiently,Behave-dec

"Your own shadow leaves you in darkness",a saying we all have heard.It basically means,when the hard time comes,even a part of you abandons you,leave alone other people,whom you see up to for help.But what i was wondering is......does really our own shadow leaves us in darkness ?.Obviously,in a way it does,but does it really leaves us..? Therefore,i did a little experiment,you can try it too,if you want to.I went into a room with a torch.I switched off the torch and bingo,my shadow "LEFT" me.Then i switched on the torch,and there...my shadow "RETURNED".I repeated the experiment a few times.....and finally i had my answer. When there was light,i could see the shadow,and when there was darkness,i could not....and that was my answer.Yes people,YOUR SHADOW DOES NOT LEAVE YOU IN DARKNESS,IT NEVER DOES.IT'S THE DARKNESS THAT MAKES YOU INCAPABLE OF SEEING IT.IT'S ABOUT YOUR PERCEPTION.IT'S ABOUT YOU,NOT YOUR SHADOW.your shadow is always there,it depe

More than half of everyone's life problems is because of the extremes.People either look in the extreme white.....or in the extreme black of any situation,circumstance,person,etc.And it's because of this nature,alot of problems arises.We all have seen people taking extreme decisions because of this attitude in life.One of the major example of it is the suicidal nature.In today's world,we people think less and react more.For example,one of the famous situation "Water glass,half filled-half empty-which one will you choose"...once used to have a positive answer..."choose the half filled one-because something is better than than nothing"....but today,i'm sure you will find a lot of people who will be "i will only accept a glass which is filled till the top....or i will not touch the glass at all" types. A lot of opportunities are missed because of this attitude,if you observe closely,because this attitude kills the feeling of sacrifice and com

If you will ask about me,I would love to tell you that I am love-o-holic. And I'm pretty much sure,there are a lot of people out there,like me.Totally drowned either in the theme of love,or in someone's love.LOVE.Seriously....there is no such emotion I have read as much about I have read about this word.Every other book,every other song describes it.Still it is said,there is not enough love in the world.I don't see a lot of movies,books,paintings,songs,describing emotions such as anger,frustration,sadness,hopelessness,,,etc,etc,etc.Do you...?.Obviously there are some exceptions,but I think we all will agree that love IS the most practiced emotion.Love,is said to be the most beautiful feeling,power on earth.And those who have been in love....knows,that it is indeed right.Therefore,so as to give some more special-ness to this already special feeling,we all celebrate valentine's day,around the globe.Valentine's day....the day,on which if you step outside,you literally

Dreams...!! We all see them.Sometimes with eyes closed,and sometimes,with wide open eyes.The latter is often termed as "daydreaming".But we all see them,anyway,Don't we.?But do you know what i always think about dreams? I think what do they mean,I think why i see the dreams that i see,I think,what if someone else is having the exact same dreams as i have? Yes I think alot about dreams.And i know,somewhere deep down,you all think the same.Dreams are a very complicated field of thinking,you could think any thing about them...right..? I would simply share some of my different and unrelated weird views about dreams....some questions.....some answers...!! But apart from all the things,there is this one question which stands out" What determines our dreams..?".Firstly,lets simply talk about the dreams we see when we are awake,dreams that are our aim,dreams which we want to accomplish.Some people dream of money,some of fame,some of knowledge,some of love,some of peace

We are all so creative when we are children,may be because we have all the time in the world,or may be because we are so curious about everything,that we need to do something or the other.We don't really care that whether what we are doing even makes any sense or not,what as children we know is about,we have to do something or the other.Remember that stupid painting,or that meaningless poem,or that out of tune song.....but as children we were so proud of doing all that.But then slowly,we all grew up.We stopped playing,inventing,questioning.Arts such as reading,writing,painting,music,singing,dancing.....became just a time pass,or a matter of past.We became educated,practical,internet wizard,classy,money-minded.......so called "GROWN UP'S".We all became serious towards life,and started running toward's our goal.We started our profession............but left our passion....right..?

Once there was a man,who sold fishes.His shop board was named.."Fresh Fish Sold Here".One fine day,a young man came to his shop.The shopkeeper thought he was a customer.But to his surprise,the man indeed posed a question towards him.Shopkeeper,being polite,asked him to go ahead.The man asked.."why you have written..Fresh Fish Sold Here..everyone has eyes to see that fish are being sold here,and not anywhere else..?",and without waiting for an answer,left.The shopkeeper on the other hand,was completely in awe for what have just happened.But then he realized,the man was quite right,so he deleted the word "here".Another day,another man came to his shop.Again this man was not interested in buying a fish,so he directly asked the customer.."Sir,why does your board says,that Fresh Fish Sold...? Everyone knows that these fish are fresh,so why are you stating the obvious..?".The shopkeeper,in a perplexed situation,deleted the word fresh too.Some days pas

Everyday we meet so many people,that we can't even remember all of them.They are all so different,yet same to each other in some ways.Have you ever noticed one thing,about them or for that matter even yourself,whenever we talk to each other or ourselves,90% of the time the subject matter is about our various types of problems.Problems about health,wealth,life,love,family,career,office,and god knows what not...!Whenever i meet someone like that....I don't literally see that person,what I really see is.....the most unfortunate person of the entire universe,who is a porter, and somehow god has burdened him/her with the entire luggage of worries and problems and depression of the entire human kind......and that's why everyone else in the world appears extremely happy and carefree to such person,because he/she enviously thinks that they are carrying other's portion of problems too...!! What a waste...!! Dear people,no matter where you go........from the poorest to the riche

Alright guys.......today as i am in a poetic mood,i thought i would share a little poem,that i had written almost three years back.And it's my first one too....hope you like it.... There is someone Who is close to me, Someone so special,so close to my soul Who makes me complete,a whole. There is someone To whom my heart belong, A person,so needed,so wanted Someone for whom I always long. There is someone From whom distance can't keep me apart, A person,who reads my eyes And,the language of my heart. There is someone Who is in my heart,soul,thoughts,in me, Someone whom I love till date Yet I can't have that person, And,That,is my unlucky fate.......... Guys,I really hope you like it.And obviously if you want to use it for someone ......go ahead...!! :)  

Remember the first day of your school.? Or your first bicycle,video game,or the time you when you made a fake house using chairs,bed-sheet,pillows,etc.?Remember your first crush,your first love,your first proposal,your first rejection,your first relationship,your first break-up.? Remember your last day at school,your prom night/farewell party.?Your first kiss,your first dance with  that special someone.?Remember that first day at college,the time spend there,the friends,the teacher's,the bunks,the bad marks,saving pocket money and buying someone a gift,and the countless dates.?Remember your first interview,your first job,your first salary,and obviously how you spent it.? Remember the proposal of marriage made/received.?Remember the day you got married,the day your first child was born.? I believe that you all do......right...?No one forgets these things.It is in these memories that our life is piled up.When we are kids,we just can't wait to grow up,see the world,boss around.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life;not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. We all often becomes what we believes ourselves to be.If you keep on saying to yourself that you cannot do a certain thing,it is possible that you may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.On the contrary.....if you have the belief that you can do it,you shall surely acquire the capacity to do it,even if you may not have it at the beginning. Therefore,keep your spirits always up,believe yourself,and always listen to your heart.KNOW YOURSELF AND YOU WILL WIN ALL THE BATTLES....!! :) 

As i am not yet married,so i really couldn't speak or write about it,as i don't understand the pros and cons associated to it very mush.So today I would write about a story,i recently read.It's from "The Old Man And His God"-by Mrs.Sudha Murthy,wife of Narayana Murthy,the founder of infosys. "I had a wonderful meal and was enjoying an after-dinner stroll around the village.It was a full moon light and the quite and serenity were most welcome to my ears:no cell phones,cars honking,aeroplanes roaring overhead.Instead leaves on the trees were rustling gently in the breeze.There was a local lady,Gowramma,who accompanied me.We were talking,when i heard someone singing a folk song.I was struck by the beauty and soulfulness of the song and the voice.I asked Gowramma,whether we could visit the singer,and she promptly agreed. Madha and Yellamma were perhaps the most poorest people in that village.They had to beg for their meals everyday.Yellamma was quite sick that d

Each and everyone of us have that little part inside us that yearns for being wanted,needed and most importantly,being loved.We all want that someone special,for whom we mean the world.Deep down,everyone wants to experience the feeling we read about in all love stories,or watch in those "ULTRA-ROMANTIC" movies. A lot of people on earth,falls in love with a lot of people they meet on earth.But the rarest of the rare ones,falls in love with someone,and that too for forever.Some of the lucky ones get married,some less lucky ones come in a relationship,and spend at-least some years of their life with each other.But sometimes,there are certain people,whose love remains unsaid,unheard.....but not totally unnoticed and in-reciprocated.And this type of the love is the most truest and purest of all.You know why..? Because such lovers always love that person without any expectation.That person becomes a certain part of their identity.I think,such kind of is the most powerful of all,t

Depressed.?sad.?Unhappy..?Frustrated..?Irritated..?Just living.....not alive...? WHY..? What are the reasons of such feelings.Problems,various kind's of..? Probably.But dear people,let me ask you very simple question,will your being miserable and gloomy will solve your problems.?If yes,go on and continue being like that.But I think we all know that,it won't make things  any better. So let me try to help you a little........Negative emotions are because of negative thinking,negative thinking arise because of negative circumstances in life,and negative circumstances are because of  problems we all face.So what is it......OFFICE ISSUES-solve them,change your job,start your own work.FAMILY ISSUES-talk to them,tell your problems,ask their's,go on a holiday,give time to each other.LOVE ISSUES-love that person..? accept.bad habits..? try to change that patiently.converse.listen.care.say you love them.A candle light dinner,a soft romantic slow dance,flowers,remembering dates.Don

You have your own different perception for surroundings,life,issues,future,etc,etc,etc.Some people will think that you think too much,some people will think that you are too philosophical and some people,will think you are completely mad.But then,what's the point in living the life similar to everyone else.And in anyway....people will always find something to think about you,good or bad.And that's the only thing that you shouldn't think about.You all are really unique,and you should enjoy the fact that you have different perception,or think too much,or are philosophical,or completely crazy.And that is what makes you different from other's.if someone else's view doesn't match with your's it's ok,it's not a problem.In short.......life is too short to be anyone else....so just love being you....!! :)

Love.........aaahh...the most,most,most beautiful feeling...simply divine.Once you're in it,you just know it...don't you..?? The most foolish thing in this world is to fall in love with someone without any reason.But the smartest thing ,once you are in love,is to respect that fall forever. Love does not have expectations.It is based on respect.It does not feel sorry for anyone,but it does have compassion.When you truly love someone,you do not have any expectations,you just act because you want to.Love is completely responsible.All that we do,everything we think,has a consequence.We always experience the consequence of our actions in some way or the other.Everyone is responsible for their own actions,even if they wish not to be,therefore actions are very,very,very important in love. Loving someone doesn't need a reason.If you can explain why you love someone,it's not called "LOVE",it's called "LIKE".Forget about all the reasons why someone can
