Vidushi Gupta : The SoulHome

Sometimes, the people you love, love you back.And sometimes, the people you love, love you back, but they love some other things too.Things, which could possibly be their dreams, their aims, their passions. And , sometimes to achieve them, they probably have to choose between you and their dreams.If they choose you, you become happy.To some extent, even they do.But after a while, they miss their goal.And they miss it so terribly, that they could even start blaming you as the reason for their non-compliance with their wants.And then things start falling apart.No one wants to be with someone they've tagged as their symbol of failure. On the other facet of the coin, if they instantly choose what they want to achieve over you, sadness is an immediate result. You both love each other, and that's true. Love for a passion cannot destroy love for someone.So even in this scenario, things are falling apart, because  success that is achieved by paying your relationship as a price is prob...

This weekend,I was watching one of my favorite flicks of all times, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara   (You won't get another life),which is,hands down,one of the best road-movie ever made.3 friends.From 3 different professions.With 3 different approaches towards life.The movie is all about how they re-discover their true-selves,their own spark,which they have lost while being busy,and most importantly,the meaning of life,through a road-trip across Spain. Road-trips.Honestly,how many of us have ever wanted to go on one ? The answer is,everyone.The country whose roads you want to measure,may differ,some would want to go to France,or Italy,or Australia,or India.But the downright spirit to let yourself free,to let your soul breathe,doesn't change. But,what is it that makes a road-trip  so  different from the other conventional means of travelling,like air-planes,trains,buses ? Our soul,just like our eyes,loves  everything  colorful and beautiful.Everything that it c...

When was the last time you said thank you and meant it? When was the last time you were grateful to someone who did something for you?  When was the last time you appreciated someone beacuse they did something nice and correct? Remember? We all understand relationships. We understand we have a relationship with family, friends, spouse, colleagues.But that is not sufficient. Today, what we need to understand is the value of relationships. We need to understand, that we need them.We need to understand, that relationships are not just not about taking, they are about giving too.And giving just don't mean materialistic pricey gifts, you could gift someone just by your words too, and they could mean the entire universe to the receiver. Your mother cooks for you.Everyday.Three times.For years.How many times you have appreciated her meals ? Do that today.Your father is doing his job since years.A lot of times he would've wanted to just leave it and do something he actually loved to ...

Many a times,in our respective lives,each of us face the situations,in which we need to choose.It may be any situation,any circumstance,where life would ask us to take one way or the other.But we,the greedy humans,either we want to take all options,or the one which seems the most gainful.But wait a moment,it is not wrong to choose what you think is the best for you,is it ? No.But,we certainly need to check the scales we measure our gains in. A lot of times,we choose the option that could possibly yield us more monetary profit than the another.Like,for example,most Indian parents force their kids to take up careers which they want them to,because they think their kids cannot make the right choices.Also,in situation like,two different job offers,people mostly choose the one with the higher package.Or such as in relationships,people would like to choose a balanced partner,someone who can provide security in all ways.But is choosing like this,all wrong ? No,not all,but to some extent,ye...

Just a short while ago,I paid a visit to our family doctor.After scribbling few names of required medicines on his clinical paper,he asked to me to do some stretching exercises,after hearing my full day "running" schedule,so as to keep my body far away from diseases and tiredness.I told him I already do so.Then we chatted for sometime about the importance of exercising and yoga and meditation.He,being a doctor for about more then 25 years,told me that how doing these things on a daily basis could actually save and avoid the need of medication.I simply agreed.It was the truth. We all are busy in our lives.Be it a teenager,a college going student,a professional,or the house-makers.Our day start at 6,7,8 A.M. and goes on till 11 or 12 P.M.We do numerous stuff in this period-we work,we cook,we travel,we talk,we walk,we sit,we stand.Full day we have thousands of thoughts,both positive and negative,running across our mind.Everyday we intake a lot of unhealthy foods and drinks.And ...

It's been 5 years.5 years of promises,dreams,notes,emotions,feelings,passion,and,love.But one day,he stand in front of her,to tell her that he don't love her anymore.That his 5 years old love has changed within a month.That she doesn't mean to him what she used to,anymore.She is in tears,asking him if he is joking.Pleading him to tell the reason,to tell her what is wrong.But he is in more tears than her.He struggles to finally tell her that even he doesn't know what the reason is.That he thinks that the flame between them has extinguished.He just feels that they should go their separate ways.That they are not meant for each other and should find happiness without each other. You all probably think it is a story.Maybe.But,before reaching any conclusion,just look around yourself.Don't you see people falling out of love as much as you see them falling in love ? The heart-breaks,the break-ups.Probably,at-least once,we all have come out of "love" with someon...

Ever thought about your short-comings ? Ever wished that life would have been so good if you or someone else would have been just "perfect" ? Ever felt frustrated that you cannot do a lot of things accurately ? Or ever felt angry when someone called you "lazy" or "clumsy" ? Do I hear a "Yes"? Good.Because it's what I was expecting,too.Because if that's not the scenario,then something is definitely wrong with you. "Nobody is perfect.And,I,am nobody." It's an edited quote I see quite often on internet now-a-days.A lot of people,especially teenagers,have a tendency to believe that they are perfect.Way too perfect.And till a point,it's acceptable.They,have a small world or their own.Protected,safe,little world.Even,a lot of grown-ups,are too adamant or arrogant to accept,that they too are imperfect in some way.But that is not the real problem.They can happily live in their bubble,but only as far as they are concerned.The re...

Mother.Possibly the biggest hearted creature ever created by God.The one who bears a child in her womb for 9 months, and gives it birth.The one who sacrifices her sleep for her young one.The one who happily go through the never ending tantrums of her toddler.The one who teaches to walk, and to stand up again after falling.The one who keeps on singing poems herself, so that the little kid could catch it.The one who does millions of jobs, who handles from office to home, and groceries to homework.The one who never complains, seldomly scolds and cries a lot, because she loves you more than yourself.The one who saves and fight on your behalf from your father. The one who provides you everthing, from nutritious food to branded clothes.The one who listens to your problems and cries with you.The one who stand at the back when you succeed, but instantly comes in front like a wall when problems approach to protect you.Basically, a mother is the one who magically is always there for you. And wh...

"Will you dance with me ?" She looked up.Black hair,ending just above his eyes,flying in the wind.Brown eyes,depicting a lot of experience.A little smile,just like a kid.Maturity,with innocence. "Will you dance with me ?" "No." "Why ?" "I don't know you." "Fair enough.Hi.I am Yug.Yug Sharma.I am a software engineer.I work in Mumbai,in ABC company.I came to Goa,with my team.We had a meeting.We are going back tomorrow.Since we are in Goa,my friends thought,why not celebrate the new contract ?So we came here.Do you want to know anything else ?" "No." "So now,will you dance with me ?" "No." "Why ?" "Because I don't want to.Will you now leave me alone,Please ?" "Alright.Anyways,it was nice meeting you.Bye." She didn't responded.He sighed,and left.                                                   --------------------------------------- The par...

Ever since I was a child,I grew up hearing "Oh,you're a science student.How lovely.You must have been very bright in studies."Or "Oh you want to be an Accountant.Handling money and stuff.Good."Or "You are from Arts & Humanities ? You study Sociology? Literature? Languages? You are definitely not getting any good paying job."And the most hilarious and ridiculous one "Oh,you have taken arts,you must have been really weak in studies".I just can't believe people like them exist. Yes,we all can admit that,Arts is definitely not as much as technical as science and commerce.That there are not many formulas,experiments,derivations to cram.But saying that Arts is not difficult,or it's just about reading stories,painting some "non-profiting" pictures is as dumb as saying that only rich people have brains and talent.I mean,why just people can't accept that a lot of people take up their stream just because they love it.A person...

Happy Holi guys.Hope you had a lot of fun today,and hoping you are still having a lot of fun even now,because,holi,isn't over yet.And,to my foreign friends,who don't know about the festival of holi,guys,holi is an Indian festival of colors.We,the Indians,celebrate this three day festival with a lot of energy,enthusiasm,happiness and of-course,a lot of love,across the country.If you have never seen it,I strongly recommend you to visit India during march.You guys will love the atmosphere of the country during this festival.It's so colorful.Red,yellow,blue,green,orange,purple......name it,and we have it. But guys,this article isn't about holi only,but also what holi could,and should do to us.We celebrate it with so much enthusiasm.We meet our loved ones,color them,let them color ourselves,have holi get-together's and parties,but after 2 days,we are back to our lives.Dull,boring,mechanical and robotic lives.It's like,it's just our skin that is colored by thos...

Recently,I met a very close friend of mine.We were chit-chatting,and suddenly,we started talking about my blog.I asked her to suggest some topics,and she did suggested quite a few.So,today.....I am going to pick up a topic which she suggested. Is beauty everything...? I know,a lot of you will say no,but there are quite a number of people out there,for whom,a person should only be judged on his or her physical attributes.Rest of the personality,character,behavior etc is quite down the list.If a person has a bad hairstyle,he/she is so downmarket.If they have a bad dressing sense,they doesn't belong to the group.If they don't know how to "look good"...they shouldn't be dated and loved.Seriously ?. Alright guys,tell me one thing.Have you ever see your parents snaps,when they were young ?.I suppose we all have.And look at them now,after 20-25-30 years.No matter how they looked then,do they still look the same ? I think not.But,they are still with each other,aren...

"You were doing two-timing with me...?",or "You said you were with your brother,but he isn't your brother" or "You broke my trust,I'll break up with you".Very common lines in today's world and scenario.Right ?.Everyone of us know a lot of people like them.People who are in "relationships",and still have the heart and guts to cheat,two-time,or as simple as like breaking the trust of their other half.People who treat love like money.....the more the better.Disgusting. The world has three types of people.First are the one's who take love as seriously as their life.The second type consist of the ones who misunderstand, and are highly confused between lust and love,and the third one groups the ones who don't have the time to waste on a fruitless topic like love at all.The people of the second class,are unfortunately growing.Like,seriously,be honest and ask yourself,how many people do you know who are cheating their partner ?.Cheat...

Dear people,I simply want to tell you that all the ads you are seeing on my blog have been forced by blogger,and I've NOT PERMITTED THEM.I am trying to fix these nonsense ads that keeps popping up.I am terribly sorry for them.Hope I would be able to get rid of those.I seriously didn't expected such kind of unprofessional-ism from Google and Blogger.Very,very disappointed. 

                     "It started heavily raining down           When we both were walking down the street,                  And we ran fast to find a hiding place            When I saw you started dancing on your feet.                   Raindrops were falling like diamonds                     And you were shining amidst them,                         You danced like a little child                 And then you asked me to count till ten.                    I closed my eyes and started to count                 At ten you whispered me to open my e...

                     "You were just in love with someone who didn't love you.                                                    And you ?                       I didn't realized I was in love with someone who did."

"Something that happens once,will never happen twice.And something that happens twice,will surely happen thrice."A quote that I read somewhere,and liked it to the core, because a part of me believe that sentence.But...the question it not whether I liked/believed it or not.The question is.....does the sentence applies to love ? "CAN LOVE HAPPEN TWICE" a novel by Ravinder Singh deals with the same.Can love really happen twice ? All of us falls in love with someone ,somewhere,at sometime in our life.But unluckily,not all of us succeed in that venture.Then what ? some of us move on,and some of us,don't.Let's just drop down the people who move on for a little while,and talk about the ones who couldn't. Why they can't move on ? Maybe,they are just afraid to love again.Or maybe,they haven't met someone else.Or maybe,just maybe,they are not giving themselves a second chance in love.As much as I can say,no-one fears or hates love.No-one.Some people are j...

"Everyone is blessed with creativity and imagination.The only difference is-some recognize,value and love these virtues of their's,and the rest are just oblivious of them.It is something as simple as it can be.Having a talent is not a blessing,realizing that you have a talent,is."
