and more of a sweet shop advertisement! lol.. :P

THANK YOU from the 'Spring Baby'!! :D

This post goes out to my friend Isha, and all others who made my birthday special. I wanted to write this earlier in this week, but I have my exams coming up soon, and somehow I was not getting the time to write. But, I had to thank Isha for the lovely post she wrote for me on my birthday. Secondly, it is spring, and I did not want to miss this opportunity to write a post on the spring season on a blog called 'Spring Blossoms'. So the motivation to revive my dormant blog was aplenty. :D

So, here goes -

The flowers are blossoming, trees all around are filled with a riot of colors, birds are chirping, and the climate is not as hot as it gets in the peak of summer. In short, its that time of the year which we call 'Spring'!!

The calls of the cuckoo bird (or Koel, as it is known in India), the Gulmohar trees laden with red and yellow flowers, the breeze all through the day, and lots of such 'small' things are making me reminisce. We often ignore all these things all around us as we rush through our lives at break neck speeds. But, I have always had an affinity towards this special time of the year when nature is at its bountiful best. I have been noticing all these small things and smiling all the time, ever since I heard the Cuckoo at 4 am one day, for the first this year. All those memories of my childhood in Ahmedabad are coming back. And, the 'Spring Baby' is happy!

And, all the love and affection shown by my friends and family on my birthday made me even happier. The day ended with me reading that special blog post, and going to bed with a BIG smile on my face. :) :) ... Thank you ALL!! :)

PS - I know I have been away from my blog for a long time, and have not been able to reply to comments out here. I'm extremely apologetic for that, and will be back soon after my exams. :)

Happy Birthday Bloggie... :)

This is a post that i had written sme days back, but didnt get time to post it. I had it on my comp as a draft, but had my exam on 25th and was caught up in a few other things and just couldn't find enough time to finish it. Doing it today...I guess bettr late than never.. :D ... 

Without any furthur ado... here it goes... 

Its my blog's birthday.. it turned 1 on 24th April 2009. Sorry for not being able to wish you on time bloggie.........

I'm feeling extremely happy that you have turned 1 today. I was the one who brought you into existence. Its like you are my kid ( I said 'like' before anyone starts to have thoughts... :P ....), and its your first b'day !! 

Blogging has been one of the best things that I decided to do...sharing my thoughts, and being able to  have share thoughts of others, freezing my memories in time, expressing my feelings on any thing that I feel for, interacting with other like minded people, and so many othr things, just by writing a simple post on my blog...

I had mentioned this in my in my 'Whats Thr in The Name' post that I want my blog to be able to bring a smile on the faces of whoever reads it. I recently got an award from Annie ... 'You Make Me Smile Award' . Thank You so much Annie. :) :)  It is my first award, and to top that, its gives me immense pleasure to know that I have been able to achieve one of the most important thing that I had wanted to by creating this blog... :) ...

I love my blog very dearly, and it means a lot to me. I would like to keep growing as a person as i blog more, and i hope to improve my writing skills as time passes. But, one thing is very important for me - Whatever i write is from my heart, and would try to keep it that way. Because no matter how jazzy and my blog might get, if it stops having straight from the heart posts, it would only 'look' nice, but wouldn't be actually nice.

  

Kisi ki muskurahato pe ho Nisar...

Kisi Ka dard mil sake toh le udhar...

Kisi ke waaste ho tere dil mein pyar...

Jina isi ka naam hai...

Ke marke bhi kisi ko yaad aayenge...

Kisi ke aansuon mein muskurange...

Kisi ko ho na ho.. humein toh Aitbaar...

Jina isi ka naam hai...

This is what I would like my epitaph to say... 'He brought smiles...he brightened days..' I hope I would continue to be able to bring smiles on peoples faces, and I'm would like to apologize for any hurtful things that I have said to anybody.

I would like to thank each and everyone who has taken precious time out of their lives to read my posts and comment on them. They mean a lot to me, and are a huge source of inspiration. Thank you everybody, and I hope the comments would keep coming. :)  

PS - I'm not in the best of the moods today, and i'm not sure if I should be blogging today and putting up a few things that i have mentiond above. I don't know if i would regret puttin git all up over here tomorrow, and if it would be best to forget certain events and move on. But had to wish you today kiddo... :) I'm sorry for not being my usual upbeat self...would be back soon..with all the pjz and smiles and optimism.. :) ... Happy B'day Bloggie... :) 

Herez a toast to my blog.. :) ...

Cheers...
