A letter to a friend

Before anybody reads this…..I just want to make a confession……………This letter is dedicated to all my friends whose presence I marked through my tough times.

MY DEAR FRIEND,

Today I want to do that , which people usually forget. Today I want to thank you for being beside me through all my odds.

When GOD made human beings, he also made for him, some beautiful relations. He made parents to nourish a child…………..made brothers and sisters to play and enjoy the springs of his life with…………….made teachers to transform a man into worthy human being. And the most important and cherishing relation that he made is “A FRIEND”. A FRIEND to provide shoulder to rest. A FRIEND to lend his ear when you wanted to say something and A FRIEND to spend the whole night………sleepless…..with you when you could not sleep.

And I feel I’ve got these heavenly people for me. Though less in number……………….yet making me feel ………….so many!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So all my friends , I want to thank you all for being by my side when I was left alone , I thank you for saving me from perishing in the sea of my sorrows when I had no one around me. Thank you for taking even my petty things, seriously, just to make me feel comfortable. Thank you for not letting me go in that path where I was not supposed to go , thank you for being my soul mate and burying my all those words and feelings that I told you and needed to be buried inside your heart. And above all thank you for not losing confidence in me when I myself had lost it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And in the same time I apologize you for many things…………..I feel shamed of myself and proud of you when I recall the days when I was busy calling you names………….being rude and discourteous to you……………and you!!!!!! You my friend……..were busy soothing my wounds , busy wiping my tears and busy making me laugh………….I wanna say sorry to you a million times for all these. I’m sorry for not understanding your condition your circumstances and your helplessness when I didn’t get your response or reply. And I’m sorry for being selfish to you all the times.

If GOD had provided me an eraser and I had rubbed all your presence with me………..I….for sure….would too have not been able to survive. This life of mine is undoubtedly a gift of my parents to me………but its you who……….with your love, trust, faith, dedication and wisdom…………..have made it so beautiful and serene for me.

I really fill with anger for those who, in name of friendship, do nothing but exploit their mates for the sake of their greed. They are even worse than the enemies. Coz a person at least knows about his enemy when he does him any harm. But the opportunists aremore ignoble than those enemies. They do everything from behind the curtains with the person left with not a slightest clue.

On the same time I feel pity for the persons who don’t own these prized possessions.

But I feel proud to have you as a friend. I thank God that he neither gave me opportunists in place of friends nor did he deprive me of them………….And personally feel that I am too greedy for them…..God!!!!!!!!I request you, plead you to give me some more friends like the ones which I have today coz “YE DIL MAANGE MORE!!!!!!!!!!!”

It is a common saying that there is no “SORRY”, “THANK YOU” & “PLEASE” in friendship……….but today I want to say just these three magical words my friend.

THANK YOU for being with me through all the hills and valleys of my life and accepting me with my sins and skills

SORRY for being selfish, rude and discourteous to you at times

&

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE……………A HUNDRED TIMES stay with me throughout my life because its you who made me understand the real meaning of friendship and value it. I just can’t afford to lose you.

THANKING GOD FOR GIVING ME “YOU AS A FRIEND”

Your indebted friend

Anuashka or Tanu……… whatever you know me as

Young India and the social change it can drive

When most countries in the world are experiencing ageing problem, India is lush with about 65% of its population below 35 years of age. The youth in India has emerged to be a great force marking its presence in politics, economy, science, civil services and many such important avenues. I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said that there could never be a better time to be ‘young’ in India. People could write at lengths about the positive changes that the Young India engenders but still there are some important avenues that need our immediate attention. If Wikipedia were to be believed, India’s charity index ranks 91 st in the list of 140 countries and the United States of America, 2 nd . The list of most Philanthropic people in the world starts with Bill Gates, an American, and features many more like Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg etc. There does appear an Indian in the list, Azim Premji ranked at no. 4, just one Indian in the list of twenty. India never lacked rich people; still ...

LOST........

This new poem of mine depicts the disappointment that gets associated with the failures in life.... My life is completely lost around me, is mist and frost. The life which once was bright is now just pale and white. Some challenges that I had to meet, some promises I needed to keep are now seeming too far away cos its my luck that has to play. I had to keep a promise I made to my mother as I once said, "Mom you'll one day be proud of me" that pride in her eyes is all I wanted to see. All I wanted is to spread my wings "I'll touch horizons" I used to think. Whom my father would look and cry "That's my daughter touching the sky". There were people all around me 'A loser' in me they see. I had a challenge to prove them wrong and break the jinx that existed so long. I wished to be a reason for them to smile those people with whom I went miles. with whom no sadness was ever allowed I just wished them to feel proud. I had reasons so many to s...

Where CRY means smiles :)

It was the end of November and it was ‘that time’ of the year. Every year I would save up all my holidays for my annual visit to my home country, India. As expected, I had a full agenda during my visit. Meet all the relatives, eat street food everyday, attend a friend’s wedding and do lots of shopping, the regular roster. This year however, I had another item in my to-do list. Ever since I started working for CRY in Seattle and learnt that they have a project in my home state Chhattisgarh, I had made up my mind to visit the project, the next time I went to India and now was the time. I was really looking forward to the visit! So having coordinated all the plan with my friends at CRY, I was all set-up to visit Gram Mitra Samaj Sevi Sanstha (GMSSS) project in Kartala block of Korba district in Chhattisgarh, Here is what I expected my day would look like and how it actually turned out to be EXPECTATION REALITY Leave the origin ...
