Peppy Pets

Source

How awesome it is to have pets. They are those beings which are always there for you. They are just darlings sitting on your lap and making you forget all your worries. Many a times we act childish and stupid just to irk our non-human friends. How often have you done that when you were with your friends or your family? How often you have done something for which you will not be judged? I guess many of think before act, which is a good thing but if we continue to live in the same way without any emotions then it is utterly wrong. The reason we do all the crazy stuff in front of our non-human friends is just for one simple reason and that is trust. We know that they will not judge us and would always be on our side.

I had a dog named dusty. He was one notorious fellow. He would rip newspapers and would chew off our sandals but still he was our darling. Everyone in our house loved him. I remember one incident when our family went out for a party for two hours and left him alone in the home. When we returned he made an upset face. It took us about half an hour to make him normal. He kept his head low and didn’t look into our eyes. Finally it was his favorite treat that came to the rescue.

Pets are peppy and with them you also feel the same way. They fill you with the same energy that they possess. If you never had a pet then you are surely missing something in your life. People often consider their pets as part of their family and it is for no reason. They fill your heart with joy.

When you come home after a long tiring day and your boss has yelled at you for something and you see your dog running up to you in the same old peppy way and you forget all your tiredness when he comes to you and keep his head on your lap.

You sitting on your chair and feeling bored and suddenly you feeling someone trying to snuggle in and you see it’s your cat. You just cannot get mad at her for it. Pets are someone who cares for you much more than you do for yourself.

Pets are peppy who fill you up with the same peppiness. I remember correctly that my dog used to jump and down in front of my dad when he used to come from office and will not settle down until my dad would pick him up and keep him on his lap and pat him. How good feels it to know that someone is waiting for you to come home and welcomes you with the same affection every time.

Pets are really peppy beings, have one to experience it.

Music: Art Of Living

Source

What is music? Is it really related to the sound that is generated from the instruments or is it something more?

When I asked individuals about their hobbies, I have often come across this answer from individuals that they love to listen to music and name their favorite artists. For me music is not really something that you listen from great musicians or maestros. I will not deny the fact that the creation of those creative minds is music but it is not just plane sound, which is music.

Have you wondered how your favorite song would sound without all those pauses? How empty would be if the music did not have that elegance of pause, which gives that stability to the changing beats and tunes?

I am very sure that many of you have heard of this phrase “Nature playing its music” or “wind was singing to me”. Is it really something that has been said metaphorically or something that is observed keenly? I bet you cannot deny the fact the nature has its own music and the instrument she uses is just jaw dropping.

On a lazy summer afternoon birds chirping and the wind blowing on the deserted road. What is that sound, isn’t that a melody? If you have ever been on beach and paid attention to the sound of the waves, you could relate to the music I am talking about. A music that is not dependent on the instruments but a music that has beauty, which is not repeating itself, that is not created just to soothe few ears.

A kid laughing, wind blowing, lustful whisper and many more happenings of life can be music. Rustle of leaves on an old boulevard to honking of cars in a traffic jam, everything is music.

If the beauty lies in the eyes of the onlooker then music lies in the ears of the listener.

I play guitar and do treat the sound that is generated from it as music but also consider the pause in between the tunes as music. Music is beautiful and truly a stress buster. It gives time to you, to realize and contemplate on your being. For me it is really something in which I can find my reflection. It helps me unwind and let me focus on my being myself. It sets me straight.

As they say music is same everywhere because it has no language, no borders and no appearance of its own. You cannot differentiate between music as rich or poor or black or white. It is universal. If you ask me perfect definition of democracy then it has to be music because music is for everyone and anyone can contribute to it.

Music not only makes me happy, but it can also make sad, it can also scare me and it can also make me violent because music to me is emotion. Emotion that spreads without medium.

Together To A Far Land

 Swapna used to sit in first row, in college. A serious, studious kind of girl. A perfect example of front bencher. She was a women of few phrase. Never spoke much to anyone and never did anyone tried to infiltrate into her little perfect world of silence. She was also our class representative. Few semesters passed and she still remained a mystery that no one wanted to pay attention to.

It was seventh semester of my engineering. We were approaching end of semester. She used to live close to my house and we traveled in the same college bus. As my attendance was short for the semester, I had to attend college every day, while everyone was busy with their exam preparations and project work. She also used to come to class despite of having very good attendance. Only few students used to come to attend the class.

I used to ask her for help and she would happily respond. She would help me in learning the concepts and even clear the silliest of my doubts. We soon became good friends and would go to college together. Then exams came and on the days of exam too, she would help me and share the topics that were important as per her. I got a pretty decent score in that semester.

It was our final semester and many of us were desperately looking for a job, few were planning for further studies, while few were planning to join their parental business. Swapna and I used to look for jobs and placement related events. We went to a lot of placement events, in many of which we got placed but the jobs were too less paying or wasn’t at all related to our field i.e. engineering. Finally the diligence paid off. We both got jobs in good companies with a decent pay.

We completed our engineering. The four years of fun came to an end and now we were out there in the unknown world.  Before leaving for my posted location I met my friends and Swapna. When I met her she had tears in her eyes. I asked what happened. “We are not going to meet again, right?” She said. “We will surely meet”, I said. “Why we can’t always be together, do we need to separate? We are two different individuals but see how perfect we are together. Look at that rose, will it be that beautiful, if it is not going to have those thorns. If they can be together, why can’t we be? “ I just hugged her and we stayed that way for few minutes. We were now officially in a relationship.

For initial months, the conversations were full of love and we enjoyed this new found love between us. We enjoyed our little fights but would sort it out soon. As months passed by our fights got intense and romance got thrown out of the window. We both got busy in our lives and job and were not able to give proper time to our relationship. Whenever we talked, we only fought. Nothing seemed right and the relationship seemed nothing but a mistake.

It was until my college friends came with a plan of trip cum get together. We all needed time for ourselves to get out of the boring routine of corporate life. We went to a place called Harishareshwar beach, close to Pune. The beach was not crowded and water was clean. There were few more beaches there like Diveagar, Shreevardhan. Their beauty was just impeccable.

At night Swapna and I went for a stroll on the beach. We talked, laughed, pulled each other’s leg and it all seemed as if we never had any fights. It seemed like a perfect relationship. It was full moon, we looked into each other’s eyes and we both knew, we have found our moment of togetherness.

I just hugged her and haven’t let her go since then. It’s been 5 years and we celebrate our togetherness every day. Every year we go to some natural place where we can enjoy each other’s company in lap of nature without any shackles of the digital world and celebrate our togetherness.

My Zenfone- A Perfect Partner

As the season of love was approaching many of my friends asked with whom I would be spending this valentine. Even I wasn’t sure about what I would be doing this Valentine’s Day, so checked for the day on which the D-day (Date Day) would be falling. It was a Saturday and I thought about all the things that I do/prefer doing on Saturdays. These are the reasons why my Asus Zenfone would be my Valentine day’s special mate.

Waking Up By Her Side

Well with my favorite song set as alarm ring I would be waking up with my Zenfone then prepare tea and sip it while holding her. I would look at her beautiful face as she tells me the latest news (through news app). Then she would join me for a morning walk and I would listen to her singing into my ears (Sound quality of Zenfone is out of this world).

It’s A Lunch Date

For the lunch I would ask her about the stuff she would want me to eat based on my past liking and she would guide me on what is that perfect lunch for our lunch date (Use of apps to know and order food). I would have her by my side and listen as she sings in her sweet voice.

Always Up For A Movie

With her I can enjoy a movie to the fullest. She makes my movie experience unforgettable. I would hold her and we would have a perfect time together enjoying every single bit of the moment (Great display with high detailing). She is a perfect partner for movies and never ever has she denied for once, she never made an excuse about the exhaustion but has always responded to my call for movies (Long battery life).

A Special Date

At night I would prepare for dinner that I have learned from her and make it a special date. She would always be by my side and help me in each every stage while I cook. It is because of her that I have started making dinner by my own (Learning to cook via online recipe books and videos).  

Ready To Play The Game

Yeah this is one quality that has made me fall in love with her (A great gaming experience with cutting edge experience). I have gone head over heels for her because of such a sporty personality. No lag whatsoever while playing game and no disturbance. A great gaming experience is what I have when I play with her. I could have never a found a better gaming partner than her.

With her I can be assured I have each my day as something special. My Zenfone is my perfect valentine and for me every day with her is a valentine’s day. Great display, great battery, great camera, great performance. It has all the qualities of a perfect smart phone and the best part is it fits in the budget. #UnconditionalLove

Love you Zenfone.  

Cupid Game- The Caricature

Via- https://www.indiblogger.in/happyhours/cupid-games-2015/

Everyone loves to be loved and there is no denying that it is one of the best feelings to experience. When you fall in love the whole world starts to seem like a better place. It makes you feel secure and confident. No matter how hard the day is, at the end speaking to you darling would end it on a high note. The care that your loved one shows is bound to make you feel better.

This is my first valentine after being in a committed relationship I have just pulled the rabbit out of hat to woo her. She has shared the stuff that she used to do as a kid and loved doing. I have taken a note of them and planned to make something special out of it.

I would take her to the place closer to nature and would serenade her with the song that I have especially written and composed on guitar. I have learned to draw caricatures from one of my friends. I have made a small caricature story from that. It was story of her life.

The first caricature consisted of the time she was born and her parents holding her, with a caption an angel was born.

The second caricature was that of a kid rushing out of school with a bag and water bottle around her neck.

The third caricature consisted of her and her elder brother fighting over a team remote.

The fourth caricature consisted of her and her best friends sitting on a bed and smiling with their teddies.

Fifth caricature consisted of her studying under a table lamp and her mother standing next to her with a cup of hot coffee.

The sixth caricature consisted of her entering the college.

The seventh caricature consisted of her hanging out with friends in the canteen and laughing hard.

The eighth caricature consisted of her proud face with the offer letter from a big company.

The ninth caricature consisted of her smiling face in a black robe and a degree in her hand.

The tenth caricature consisted of her sad face while leaving college.

The eleventh caricature was combination of her happy face before entering the office of her first job and her first salary credit message.

The twelfth caricature consisted of her driving with me.

The thirteenth caricature consisted of her standing next to a tree and listening to my guitar.

The fourteenth caricature consisted of her standing and a guy kneeled down proposing her.

At this point I get down on one knee and propose her “I love you, will you be my valentine.”  And she said “Arey pagal offcourse I love you and yes I would love to be your valentine”.

She hugs me and I present to her the fifteenth caricature of me and her hugging each other.
