Desire!Desire!Desire ! You make everyone tried, People feel happy to get fired , As you are one who gets everyone on livewire. You make all the wives hooked on to you, By displaying Sale you get attention of all the husbands too, As Sunday dawns couples, family and kids come out their house only to enjoy the window shopping, But when they enter the mall you capture them in your web like the spider. You compel them to try the shoe driver( a fictional brand name given to shoes ), You are the cause and effect of their unhappiness, They come to about the side effect only after their laziness, Shopping bags stare at them in all their loneliness. Wives show all their fashion with a lot craziness, Husband face shows hollow emptiness, House looks in total creepiness, Call the cook oh my dear lady is in full readiness. So I request you to give us sometime for tidiness , As you are the most feared, People dread to come near as you are like the cycle gear, People wish to live hear forever, So don't distract them from their dears ones, Oh desire please leave alone , As already they are burning a cone .

This poem I received through my friend via Facebook
The Son's Lament -Written by Unknown
I went to a party Mom,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink Mom,
So I drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside Mom,
The way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive Mom,
Even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing Mom,
I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending Mom,
As everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car, Mom,
I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me,
So responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away Mom,
But as I pulled out into the road,
The other car didn't see me Mom,
And hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement Mom,
I hear the policeman say, "the other guy is drunk," Mom,
And now I'm the one who will pay.
I'm lying here dying, Mom.
I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this happen to me Mom?
My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me Mom,
And most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom,
I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you Mom,
I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others, Mom.
The others didn't think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank and I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom?
It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now.
Pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom.
And I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.
Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven, Mom,
Put "GOOD BOY " on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom,
Not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom,
I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom.
I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me, Mom.
When I needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom.
Before I say good bye.
I didn't drink and drive,
"So why am I the one to die?"

The law of pure potentiality:
Just for today I will put the law of pure potentiality into effect by making a
commitment to take following steps.
1) I will get in touch with the field of pure potentiality by taking the time
each day to be silent, to just be. I will sit alone in silent meditation at least twice a day for approximately 30 minutes in the morning and in the
evenings.
2) In the ecstasy of my own silence and also by communing with the nature I
will enjoy the life throb of ages. I will enjoy the
pure potentiality and unbounded creativity. 3) Today I will practice non-judgement. I will
begin my day with a statement " Today I shall judge nothing that
occurs" and throughout the day I shall remind myself not to judge.
I hope you will practice this to achieve 'The law of pure potentiality '
Goodreads Blurb: Chanda Maheshwari’s family
is shaken when her thirteen-year-old bridegroom Veerendra runs away immediately
after the wedding. The eight-year-old child doesn’t even understand the impact
on her life. Unable to face their neighbours and friends, the Maheshwaris move
from their village to Jaipur and begin a new life in the city.
Fourteen years later, Chanda is studying in a Delhi College. She takes up a
temporary job at RS Software Pvt. Ltd. and falls head-over-heels for the boss
of the operation. But what about Ranveer Singh? Is he interested in her?
Ranveer’s secretary Shikha is desperate to make him fall for her. All she wants
is life-long security with a rich man. But it’s nerd Abhimanyu who keeps
getting in the way. Abhi is Ranveer’s second-in-command and Shikha isn’t keen
on him as she’s eyeing the main chance.
When Ranveer appears to show interest in Chanda, she’s faced with a new
problem. Astrologer Vidyasagar insists that she would get back with her husband
Veerendra. Does anyone want to know what she wants?
Chanda feels torn between the man she has fallen for and the family values that
have been instilled in her. Will she ever find happiness?.
My take: I
received this book 'Runaway Bridegroom' by Sundari Venkatraman in a
giveaway organised by Privy Trifles blog .
'Runaway Bridegroom' is Sundari Venkatraman
fourth book .She has written the book in
a very beautiful manner describing the
child-marriages happening in our country .Though she has solved the problems of
the main characters who were victims of child-marriage at the end. But the dilemma
of protagonists and their families are very well described in an interesting
way .The emotion of the characters Ranveer and Chanda who were not aware of
they being husband and wife are wonderful described. Chanda's fears ,her transparency
are well portrayed by Sundari Venkatraman. On the other hand Ranveer 's running away from the marriage
,getting completely transformed ,becoming a rich business man on his own accord
,his attitude towards his secretary Shikha and Shikha's attitude towards her boss
and Chanda are weaved in an mind-blowing manner.
What I like about this book is the dedication part of it .As
the author has dedicated this book to all the victims of child marriage which
show that she is a kind hearted person who thinks beyond her family .Another thing what I love about this book is
that Sundari has put all emotions in a platter like Meera and Mohan bringing up
their children in an more liberal and broad-minded way and Dadaji's strict attitude that made everyone fearful and because of this attitude Ranveer was force to run away .With such emotions Sundari has
infused 'Jyotishshastra' to it which I haven't seen any other author playing with this subject. Lastly but not the
least why I love this book is because of the simplicity in Sundari's style of narration
.Language is quiet lucid .The plot is simple and sweet.
Aditya , Samyukta and I were
best friend .Samyukta and Aditya used to live in the same building
whereas I used to live far off from their place but lived in same
vicinity .Daily we used to go school in the same bus and come back in same way
.But one day the owners didn't allow me
in as they found it difficult to handle
me because I had slight problem in my
leg. Alas! Our friendship broke. Time flew by ......I had a grudge against our
Brahma the creator of entire cosmos world. That I could not make any good friends only before this defect which
in fact cannot noticed .But one day as I wandering about the building, compound
I saw my
building friends Valkaya and Lasya running behind me to throw holi
balloons on me .This thing I never expected to happen as none of building were
truly my good friends .Everyone in my building
were very upset and jealous as I
become a near normal girl .This attitude
they had developed because they were all
gossip mongers who did not have any work
to do at home like my parents did as they all had 2-4 servants each to do all the household chorus . But my parents never bother about it as they
used to mind their own business and avoid these people company . In fact they all were 'kaanjoos ' and
they never used to
spend a single paisa for
celebrating any public functions in the building . Slowly slowly all my South
Indians left that building and
settled down somewhere in the eastern suburbs of
Mumbai. Later on we also left
that building in which we living there
for more 14 years and shifted ourselves in the heart of western suburbs of Mumbai
.Coming over here indeed was a great decision by my parents as we are living close to market area. Initially it was
very difficult for us to adjusted here
because we not used the noise pollution. Steadily we got used this
place which had several by lanes as our building is located in between
four other building . My travel to
college alone by Rickshaw started from
here . I could now many good friends who by the way are not of my age .Phir bhi
I made them as my dear friends...
They made me feel special, comfortable which none
of my other friends would be able make feel like this. There are various festivals
like Ganesh Chathurti, Navaratri and other functions like the Independence and
Republic day are celebrated with lots enthusiasm and zeal and they all pull me
out to enjoy the precious human life. Here during Navaratri all the women go to each other's house for Haldi Kum .To
see the sight of all the women going out for Haldi Kum wearing vibrant cloths with a positive look
on their face. My heart start jumping in joy and that made thank god for
sending me to beautiful location. This building has a beautiful garden were all
the kids come here and start chirping like the sparrows but by the evening
their chirpiness is gone as the kids go back to their respective homes. This
area has a lot of schools and it is pure bliss to see all school students flying
together like flock of birds. The kids and oldies in my building have treated
me equal and normal. They do not talk anything negative about me .This makes my
parents feel happy and contended .They socialise with this crowd as the talk about
'Geeta -The Walk of Life'. Here many recreation activities take place for which
my pepper -grey haired friends and I volunteer .It gives a joy to do this kind
of work and to see some new talent. Life here is peaceful and contented .As I
am able to so many things in life and befriend many kiddies here. They have been
apple of my eyes and heart.
Today my situation is such without my friend's Good
Morning wishes through SMS or Whatsapp my day does not began. They may be older
to me but they always are there for me in my new endeavours. Some of them are
quiet like children and some of them are motivating and encouraging sorts.
But those who motivated me I get
along with them easily as they help me in my writings ,my blogs ,my short
stories. As they have become my muse. Eventually things started to fall in its places
and broken pieces of my heart were mended by their smiles and out wittedness.
Now I feel complete with these people coming into my life to make my being more
meaning fully.
Today I don't have worry about celebrating my
birthday or my achievements as my friend are ever ready to join in my happiness
without any excuses or attitude .Sometimes their advices becomes a bit too much
as they try to infuse their thinking and their lifestyle on me so I keep quiet
and ignore it .But they are nice at heart. Some of them have become grandparents
and some have got their desires fulfilled by sending their sons or daughters aboard.
Thank you Mr. CSR, Mr. VR, Mr. Krishna, their families
and others for making my world a better place. Now being with these
people I understood the true meaning of Happiness. Happiness does not
come from befriending your age group people but to make friends with pepper- grey haired people, kiddies and
old wise hags. As they taught me "How to live life by ignoring small problems that god have given
to me and the learning how to face new challenges that life throws at you with ease" .Which
they do with a Zest.
Thank you for teaching me a great lesson .That there
no age of Friendship and Happiness .As Happiness lies within us.
These happening
in my life made me completely forget
about the old building ,the attitude of the members residing in that old
building and my broken friendship with
Aditya and Samyukta .As I got a new lease of life here and also made me realize
that never regret for whatever has happened
in life or for what life gives
you. 'Just be you ' is the mantra which universe has given me.
Special Thanks to
Mamma for inspiring me to write an incident from my life to inspire many. As I have
been very apprehensive about writing it.

'It's all your fault.' Mere words these are. "But words can possess a shadow invincible enough to rob even a soul of its eternity." In a society that finds it easier to mark sins of a victim than the culprit, Nirvi is a young girl punishing herself for the faults she did not do and avenging her hurts by defeating her own truth. She is scared of her future, and ashamed of her past. She is failing herself, and knows it. She has had a long line of boyfriends, and hated them all. She detests the guy she is living with, runs away from the one she loves , and seduces the one who can never love her. When Arsh first sees Nirvi, she's a free and frank girl in whose eyes sparkle the lemony zest of life. The next time he sees her, she is a voiceless doll draped in clothes that cover her body less and shroud her soul more. And Arsh can't rest till he finds out what made Nirvi give up her own real self. Nirvi knows she is dragging herself on a path from which there can be no recovery. Can her spirit survive the treacherous downfall? Or is the pull of fear and push of desperation just too strong to withstand for a girl who believes she has "nowhere else to go" but down. "When it's time for you to fall in love, even a lemon can become the cause of it," says Arsh. But can love survive, when even the self love dies? Can love survive when respect is no more? Does true love have the power to revive a dying soul? Find out in the pages of this brilliantly woven, intense, heart-warming and thought-provoking saga of RISING IN LOVE

Her writing achievements include two novels, three blogs, several wins in national level blog competitions, over five years of freelance writing experience, developing books for kids and abridging 24 famous English novels like Jane Eyre, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn etc. Jyoti's first novel, Dream's Sake, was published in 2011 by V&S Publishers. It received great reviews and much appreciation from readers. Books have always been Jyoti’s best friends. In fact, books so fascinated her from early childhood that she learnt reading, by herself, even before she started going to school. And she considers herself most fortunate that she is able to pursue her dream of being a novelist and work at what she loves best. However, if books are Jyoti’s first love, and she’s still very devoted to them, the thrilling and steadily advancing world of technology also fascinates her. As a result, one of Jyoti’s blogs is a technological blog called Techn0Treats. In 2011, a post in this blog won her the title of Samsung Mobiler when Samsung made her a part of the team of twenty bloggers chosen from all over India through a blogging competition. In this team of twenty bloggers, she was the only woman and perhaps the only one who had studied literature instead of science. As a Samsung Mobiler, Jyoti is a patient of Thalassemia Major which forced her to stop going to school after class seventh. After that, she continued her studies on her own through correspondence courses. Her zest to overcome her medical problems and zeal to achieve success keeps her striving on with her endeavors to make her dreams come true.

Lemon Girl is a fantastic and brilliant
book written by Jyoti Arora. The book consists of two unique and strong
characters Nirvi, Arsh and their journey towards becoming one. The author Jyoti
Arora has described Nirvi in a spectacular manner. In a way that will make you
shed tears for Nirvi in her pain , distress
and anguish which she goes through after
being disrespected and raped by her own brother. This forces her to leave
the house forever .In search of solace and happiness. On the other hand the
author has described Arsh in an realistic way .The author has portrayed him as a gentleman who has his intentions clear
about helping Nirvi in 1000 different ways .The author has also described his helplessness to reproach her, to ask for forgiveness for
his actions in an mind-blowing fashion .The author has described the emotions
of characters in an very enchanting manner .The dialogues are simple .The plot
is very simple and sweet .What I like about this book is that the author has
used Tiya like a sunshine in Nirvi's
life. Lemon Girl by Jyoti Arora is an amazing book .An Awesome Read.
Lemon Girl by Jyoti Arora is highly
recommended read to all book lovers.
