The LITTLE ANGELS

I always had this question lingering in my mind......"Why are we only choosen to be having all that we have?". It's really haunted me to say the least. Everytime I see kids along the roadside, it makes me remember my childhood which was full of colour, lively and lots of love. Being the youngest one in the family, I had all the opportunity to get whatever I wanted. My father always says "You're too much pampered, as you have three dedicated servants at your disposal"...that's him, mom & my elder brother.........We, as children have always had a mind like a clean paper. Ready to write whatever we want. Paint any colours we wish. And dream to become everything on earth. And when I start getting nostalgic and floating into those days........those feelings are suddenly stopped by the little kids infront of me. I don't know whether they ever have the chance to LIVE LIFE ???

It's really scary to even imagine if we were born in such circumstances???? Just a mere thought...and you see how you feel!!! They just have to struggle through the life right from the time they're born. Forget about being pampered, they just don't know what it is to have a sumptous meal, or a comforting sleep. They just have no choice, but to take whatever comes on the way. Just like any other creature, never questioning why they're like that, or what's the way out. They don't even know that there is a way out. At an age, when everything looks like a wonder and miracle for a child, they're forced to experience the realities of life. Feels so painful to go through all these feelings in a moment, and still not been able to change anything of it.

And when there is nothing that we can do at this moment, atleast hope to do things in future. Because, every action, for that matter, every wonderful thing that happened or is happening, started with a thought. And that one thought which is from the heart, has all the potential to manifest itself in this world. What if these little angels cannot dream?? We'll do it for them, and make them the part of our dream of a "wonderful childhood to everybody born". And to dream, we need to be children first. With a SMILE that is so very innocent, pure like a child, that lightens everyone around us. And when we smile, we become children whose world is full of miracles, wonder and is fantastic.

And not just that, now that we've thought about that, Iam sure we'll get a lot of instances wherin we've something to do which can make their lives better. At the end of the day....what we do is what matters. The thought is only the start to the deed.

So let's be children again and dream for these LITTLE ANGELS.....'coz Dreams always Come true.

Performance... it's been a while

The last one month has been something of a roller coaster ride to say. Lots of surprises, some which we wanted, and some which were never expected. Like to put down a few of them. But on the whole it was a wonderful experience to have. And also am glad in some ways that it's all over.

The first surprise to start with, was to lose my wonderful N73 mobile. And that too just in a few minute's lapse. It's been so close to me, in terms of music, and always ready to give a wonderful snapshot whenever and whatever I wanted. And when I was consoling myself that I had all the collection of songs, and the lovely photos in my comp, it just got crashed a week ago. Lost all the beautiful pics. Frankly, it wasn't as bad as it sounds as I came in terms with it and carried on. But it's too discomforting when people around me keep asking about it, and show sympathy, Iam forced to put a bleak face, even though I was happy about some other things at that moment. Whatever, Iam glad it's all over. And I've a new simple and a slimmer mobile with me.

The next surprise is for sure was a wonderful experience. It's been a long time, I've been on stage. Though I was on stage for sports, or some literary things, they've been very few instances when I actually performed for some cultural thing. And after a long long time, I got an opportunity to sing on stage. The last time I sung for the prelims, the results were not even intimated, so couldn't know whether I got selected for the final event or not. Maybe I was not.

Now that I know before hand, I didn't wanted to miss this opportunity. I should say, Iam really happy that finally I came through my inhibitions to take part this time. As there were some really good & trained singers. A lot to learn from them. Some good quality to hear to, and they had a good experience of singing in big competitions outside too. Somehow I managed to get the last spot to sing for the finals, and that's to be conducted on stage during the celebrations.

It was definetly a huge occasion, with almost the entire campus out there. The singers have really displayed their true talents by singing some tough numbers, and that was really fabulous in terms of the competition. But not all the audience were enjoying the quality display as those were not so much for recreation. So, that came as a good chance for me to entertain them with a soothening song, more of melody and a lighter one. I've sung the one "Main Koi Aaisa Geet Gaon" from the film "Yess Boss". Though I thought that I didn't sing to the best of what I wanted as I was a bit tensed, and I didn't get the 'Male voice of the eve' prize as well, Iam very happy that most of the people listening, enjoyed it.

And now, if not everybody, all my friends knew that I can sing. And the next day everyone was appreciating me for the performance. And even one of my friend has taken a video of it. So nice of her. Then I realized that people did clap for me. Feels good. And I hope, the next time I give a solid performance as I think they'll definetly be some expectations. Hopefully.

By the way, I've also joined the guitar classes last week. It's always been my wish to learn guitar in a structured way. Now it's come true. Who knows, tomorrow I may give a scintillating performance singing with guitar. Anyway, that's a long way I think. Let's start dreaming, it too will come true I hope.

That's for now. Just trying things out, losing some, gaining some, but happy with both. My world is still
rocking. And hope everyone's is.

Cheers.
