Bloody Mary met at the Blue Lagoon!!

ha ha ha… this is a piece I write for the pleasure of finding greater interest in the title than the content… there are some titles that come about, inspired!!! I can almost hear the familiar giggles!! Well well…

Giggle Giggle Giggle here come the Bloody Mary wriggle

What must I say for the visuals so strong. Its like I can see it like the morning song. A hot Bloody Mary by the Blue Lagoon. Of life like we knew it… never to swoon.

The music starts to play as she stands by the lagoon. Bollywood ishtyle bole toh… the lagoon spring’s a song to Bloody Mary’s surprise, there’s a slow calm in the voice as the ripples touch her heart… “Hum Bewafaa Hargiz na thay: Par hum wafaa kar na sake”.

To break the romantic lilt and speak of love so vibrant… Bloody Mary picks a place on the rim of salt… it ice to her… ;) “Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyar ke charche”.

Everyone resounded a warm welcome with a group song of her choice.. never was a song so sweet, sung in perfect harmony “Aaj Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai”

and there the story of love so puree begins… wonder where it shall lead… This is turning out to be a brilliant Hindi Movie ka script. Which I must write one scene at a time..

P.S.

As I write this..can’t help it, I’ve managed to find a song that fills my heart with so much joy… for years now, this song has always always made me smile … “Pal Pal Dil ke Paas”, its such a beautiful song. Call me a dreamer, I’ve always imagined a very special someone singing this song to me... it makes me smile, whenever I hear it. For those who know me well… really well… You know I’ve smiled a million smiles as I post this link I would’ve smiled a milllion more times and visualised a million memories in waiting!!

 

Class of ‘95… Reconnected Rediscovered Redefined!!

I’ve been looking around for something new to do! I guess I need to fill in the gap of the idle mind, which is slowly becoming an workshop of the bored mind. Then I found some people truly have changed a million perspectives and have become such a brilliant part of the person I am.
Its time to take a post to introduce some of the strong women I’ve rediscovered, they don’t cease to amaze me, each time we meet, there is something special about each of them, that shows up… I am happy to have you in my life… Thank you Girls!!
The first relationship truly rediscovered was with Devika Chopra Mahajan, in the early days of Orkut, we connected, did some truly crazy stuff, included creating a community on orkut Honest Opinion, the wicked two did a lot of dhamaal on Orkut!! One of the most special things I remember is writing scraps in sync, almost a song… ha ha ha!! Since then, she’s mommy of two truly handsome little boys! Latest is that this special MOMMA is now a famous Momma… get onto FB and get the details Peppy ishtyle!!
The first of the series… well… Uma Handa Rai. A few chats over gtalk later we met in Delhi. A series of happy manifestations later… I realise that Jiah is the key to keep a tab on when we reconnected. Uma hasn’t changed since school and that is the most exciting part of reconnecting with her… meeting her… well… with the super happy news of her pregnancy. The fabulous part of reconnecting with her is getting a chance to bully Sonali Malik , who I’d been chatting forever on orkut and then facebook… we had to bully her into delaying a date ;) with a promise that we would deliver her to him personally, we got her to join us at Uma’s place… an evening to remember… Connaught Place, QBa… a brilliant journey of catching up started… I wonder if you’ve seen the photos of this first meet??? Take a look at them here…
Then came a series of opening conversations with girls from across India and across the globe, new connections on Facebook… here’s a list you’d want to connect with if you’re one of the girls of the batch of ‘95… Check out my friends list, you’ll find a load of familiar faces for sure!!!
Then came 2010 a year of great beginnings… January 1st… and after many online and mobile conversations I finally met up with Geetanjali Bhagra Sharma, Ruchita Chachra, Sonali Malik, Radhika Arora, Devika Chopra Mahajan, Uma Handa Rai!! And since there’s already a post on this meet… well… read more
A trend had begun, which we wanted to cash in on… we were ready for the next event… Nostalgia Meet… this time the venue, even more special… school. It was truly overwhelming really… every part of the school had a story to tell read more… and then ofcourse there were other discoveries to be made along with Ruchi Khanna Tandonand Manisha Gogia Sethi both of whom were quite a revelation in themselves!!! The clincher of this meet was the 178+ comments on the album and the fact that we had tagged more than 70 girls on a special feature created to mark the day. Creating moments of special bonding makes it even more special!!!
Then came our next date with nostalgia, this time for a cause… and the cause was… meeting up… as many times as we could!!! Diamonds are a girls best Memories this meet was planned to support Pooja Arora Joneja, who is a jewellery designer by profession… more importantly, one of the girls of the batch of ‘95. Here we had the pleasure of meeting some more girls, the regulars were of course always make it a point to be there… Ruchita Chachra, Sonali Malik, Radhika Arora, Ruchi Tandon and Me!!! The gang got extended… Radhika Sharma Singh, Niti Sobti Tandon all of whom were a super pleasure to chat up with!! We even did a number on the ramp for the pleasure of taking pictures, we even got to wear some of the exquisite jewellery she designed!! The Showstopper… well… the bracelet refusing to come off Radhika’s hand… ha ha ha. The star of the event… more than the diamonds… Jai Raj Singh… Radhika Sharma Singh’s personal diamond!!
Then came the shortest party of the season, this one introduced 4 new stars!! Hello Girls since that is about all we managed, there were quick fire updates, a chance to meet Radhika Arora’s two stars… Kanuraj and Yashasvini ( you can get a closer look at these stars on Radhika’s photos), have to mention here, that they are brilliantly brought up, very quiet like their Mom(used to be) and such a pleasure to give a quick hug. The girls we finally managed to meet up with, Naomi Ann Lobo, Jyoti Gupta Manchanda, Rimjhim Verma and Ekkta Madan… Here I have to make mention of something special that I’ve continued to observe… Radhika Arora always manages to make it to every meet, even if she’s there for 30 minutes, each of those minutes is super precious!! Ruchita Chachra is another person who ensures she is always available and so totally absorbed in every plan. Sonali Malik, managed to give us the ditch, I can promise you though that no meet feels complete without her being there… We even tried to blackmail her into coming, nothing works when she has work to do… We’re super lucky that you choose us more often… ha ha ha.
Then comes the time to tell you what all of this does for me… I am blessed to enjoy the power of belonging to such a fabulous lot of women. Each of them inspire me to be the person I’ve dreamt I wanted to be, from each of the girls I draw a special energy which is super special. I am blessed and each one of the girls is the miracle I needed to feel bonded for life. In rediscovering each of you, I’ve rediscovered the pleasure of being me. Its phenomenal to know I had you’ll for 12 years of my life… and truly discovered WHY of it all… NOW… that we’re connected again… Thank you Girls!!!

It is time to introduce my dream!!

We most often shy away from sharing our dreams for the fear of them being robbed or simply being mobbed by too many questions on updates on its success or failure.

Then comes a dream that needs to grow in thought… before the magical manifestation of it becomes the reality the world calls a phenomena.

In keeping with the strong belief that I cannot do this alone anymore, comes this truly S.M.I.L.E moment I would like to share with each of you.

6 months ago an idea was born, DeePositive! The word is a universe in itself, charged with vibrations to energise a million minds. Its about the power of a thought. When the concept first started taking shape, I shared it with just a few people, I believed would anchor this project.

DeePositive is all about empowering the human spirit. The question I am often asked, “what will DeePositive focus on?” Here’s what I believe it will do, it will bring into existence a new awareness that bridges time and thought. DeePositive is a direction, the route it will take will be revealed while it takes one step at a time into existence. The soul of DeePositive is aimed at releasing the human potential by design, a design created by the individual to create his/her own place in the infinite universe.

Are there people who have spoken about this before?

Yes, there are many. Each of them caters to a different level of beingness, defined by their derivations of the wisdom they continue to receive and are prompted to share with the rest of humanity. Each of them inspired by a different perspective of the same experience. You could be a follower of many thoughts and perspectives that fill the energy around you. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Master Del Pe, Anthony Robbins, Abraham and Esther Hicks, Rhonda Byrne, Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay…. there are many. With each passing day there are many more perspectives, being tailor made just for you to experience them. They beckon for a listen. When your soul comes in contact with any of these, a new experience in your life begins and that is when you start living your own path, by design, inspired by every thought you’ve absorbed from each of the teachings you’ve been blessed to receive.

Then how is DeePositive different?

DeePositive is a power thought tool to trigger the inner cravings and thence a manifestation in the realm of reality we call life. DeePositive does not tell you what you can or can’t do, its just a thought, shared, a pause to help you look deeper and create your own blueprint of the life you want to live. The very repetition of the words generates an empowered feeling and energy vibrations that lift your thoughts beyond the possible. A power connector of 4 very powerful words. When affirmed more often, bring into your experience and awareness the cravings of your soul direction. DeePositive: Dedicated, Enthusiastic, Empowered, Positive. When you detail the personal meaning of each word a new perspective will unfold, a new journey will begin. A life changing journey, which you have personally empowered. You can read more about this on deepositivelife.blogspot.com, its only the beginning of this journey. As days pass, you will be on that forum writing your own personal DeePositive story. :)

Coming back to the story I started!!! 

Then came the big move back to Delhi, the power of thought has since, brought into my experience a multitude of reasons to get back to the beginning. Then comes the moments when faith is put to test, there are delays, procrastination and all the things we hate to believe exist in our minds. For the longest time now, which is 60 days, I’ve been trying to accept all the things I never believed I was. In accepting the lesson of this phase, comes a new beginning just as I had believed it to be… there are new people taking centre-stage and a new beginning beckoning to be followed… new direction with renewed hope and oodles of miracles.

There are a plethora of new facets waiting to be discovered, one facet at a time. The bliss of finally sharing this, well brings me to the end of yet another post.

A new thought is already making its way into my thought… “Mommies are special….” this is a piece on typical mommy stuff… funny mommy stuff that we so appreciate in retrospect and giggle about. In that moment however, this repeat performace by habit, could be quite a twister ;) 

Life as I knew it… well… is history.

The Manifesting Way of Life

Idle thoughts maketh for great writing.

In my thoughts, there is a resurgent belief, EVERYTHING does happen for a reason… and the reason doesn’t always present itself in the present. Its like a surprise waiting to be discovered. A quick retrospect and I realise the power of idle thoughts, each of them have had the pleasure of manifesting in different degrees. These are the ones I’ve noticed.

The power of manifesting is when you have a thought, don’t follow through and then you hear the words ‘I TOLD YOU SO” so loud in your head that you are able to remember the specific moment, nothing and the one prompt you got, turned a deaf ear and then FORGOT!!

I had a moment like that this morning, am so excited about the learning. 2 days ago, I found my ipod connector on mum’s rack, super happy, though I was in the middle of looking for someone else, I kept it back somewhere there. I heard prompt, “keep it safely or you won’t be able to find it when you need”. Busy Dee that I am, I brushed away the thought to focus on what I was looking for then. For the last couple of hours I’ve been searching for the freaking connector and you guessed it… for the love of all the memory in the universe, this one eludes me. Now, all that is doing the rounds of my head… “I TOLD YOU SO!!!”

This is one of the smaller incidents, maybe its meant to be shared, a brilliant example of how we should follow the prompts!! Maybe an even greater learning, that I have a connect with guides at every moment of my day, just that more often than not, I turn a deaf ear to their constant chatter.

In meditation one day, I wrote the entire script of a conversation that came true 2 months later and changed the course of my life. The trill of manifestations, especially the ones you remember are a clear sign of the power of the mind in creating the reality you live.

Are there times that this process is scary… well YES!!! There are times when you receive messages that aren’t too exciting or you manage to say something you didn’t mean and the fear of manifestation brings it into reality. Its funny though, a couple of weeks back, I sensed a friend getting too overbearing, I didn’t seem to enjoy their company, it hurt to tell them to scoot off, at the same time, I knew something wasn’t right at all. It was the vibrations I picked up in their presence which seemed to weigh down on my energies. While I didn’t want them around, there wasn’t a nice way to say it. There is NEVER a nice way to say oUTA HERE!! In the week that followed, they stopped calling or asking if they could come over, its like they eased out, wanted their space. While, first finding out that they were infact behaving like SHIT, did hurt, then the voice within said, “Happy Manifesting”. Like a flash, the thoughts of their last visit flashed and I knew the source. Amazing isn’t it! without saying a word a lot simply happened and YES it was a manifestation of my thought… without any provocation from me, the hurt feelings don’t exist, for there is no memory to trigger it! Loving the manifesting!!!

The power of BEING AWARE OF MANIFESTATIONS also brings with it, huge responsibility. There is an immediate need to EDIT thoughts before the set into motion. It is an auto move to say the right things, feel the right emotions, take control of immediate thoughts. Is it easy to always stay tuned… NO… Each time you pin point the exact moment of the shift and breathe yourself back into the awareness of the present moment, you conquer another realm of learning to lean how to manifest. Another very important part in manifesting, is to be AWARE of emotions all around you, especially the emotions that come from people whom you truly truly trust. They have the power to influence your awareness. These challenges apart, manifesting is a cake walk.

Just as I decided to end this note, another thought comes my way… “Had you found the connector, you wouldn’t have been blogging”… the voice fades out… time for me find the connector and I can promise you, it will find me… and I shall feel silly, for some thought would’ve prompted me to go there… before this :))

Happy Manifesting!!

Good Friday

The name of the day in the normal flow of life is pretty misleading. Good Friday isn’t a day of jubilant celebration in is a day of spiritual celebration. This is the day in the Christian calendar that marks the end of life as we all know it and the beginning of a greater life.

While I’ve given you a link on my favourite information site on the subject of Good Friday. I’d like to share with you my own personal agenda for this day. For me, this year a new thought has given this day a whole new twist and a bright new meaning. I am hoping that a lot of new see this new perspective of Good Friday as a step forward in your quest for a new understanding of your own motivations in life.

Jesus, was a simple man, his belief made him extra ordinary and that is what he wants as an experience of him for each one of us. Its easy to be an ordinary person, with ordinary belief, live an ordinary life and die an ordinary death. He wants for us to take a closer look at how his life changed when he took an extra ordinary step. To believe most in the power of his thought, of course, the route isn’t easy, the The Stations of the Cross is like his walk down memory lane of the 33 years he walked the earth, his belief, that he was so special to the Creator that, in remembrance of his death and resurrection each one of us will lead more inspired lives.

Jesus, underwent all of this to let us know, that we are equally special, that our problems, no matter how big in our minds, is pale in front of that which he was put through, that we must derive strength to take on our little problems HEAD ON. How many times do we allow our problems to weigh on our enthusiasm, love and health? If we could take one quick look at Jesus’ problems, would not our problems pale? Would we then, not be moved to saying Thank you Jesus?  We are motivated to hurt and grieve by problems created by us. Jesus, allowed the most cruel infliction upon himself, only for us to understand just that… what a power sacrifice… what a brilliant example of an extra ordinary life, made extra ordinary and life changing by vision.

Jesus, lived a simple life with an extra ordinary belief in humanity. He reached out by choice not by compulsion. He was moved by his deep belief in God’s creation, a human being. As he continued his sharing and healing, Jesus wanted us to know something very simple, when you share of yourself with another human being, you lift his spirit to share and thus is created a ripple of goodness. How many times, are we truly able to reach out and create special moments for people other than ourselves? Don’t we first want to know HOW we benefit? How many times, have we taken life in our stride and truly believed that everything does happen for the best!!

My experiences with Jesus began when I was all of 2-3 years. My Dadima repeats this story each time, she needs to tell a story of me. Its most beautiful when she tells it. I am going to shorten, really shorted the version for the essence of it.

Dadima: “Deepa, you don’t ask me any questions. Kittu, asks so many! Where does the sun go in the night? Where do the stars go in the day?”. Deepa looks back at her Dadima, most amused, that she should be making such a statement or questioning her knowledge skills and replies, “That is because I know it.” Dadima is even more curious to know what her little grandchild is so confident in knowing and asks, “then, you tell Dadima!”. Deepa smiles and says “Because Jesus wants it!!!”

Simple!!

To this day, this holds true for me. Jesus has been telling me what to do, where to go? How to tackle everyday. How to face the pain? How to share the pain? How to live my life in his guidance… each day is a miracle I live in trusting his design for my life. He in turn, is so generous with giving me more reasons to live in gratitude. Thank you Jesus. Today, through this new understanding of his motivation to be crucified, comes a greater humility to follow his footprint. He isn’t counting the steps, nor is he asking me to keep the pace in the world set to race. He has just let me know once again, that he does have every answer, if and only if I am ready to listen and follow.

Here my friends is what Jesus wants us to know this Good Friday and as I write this, I believe, with all my heart, that I receive this just as the 3 year old received this 30 years ago, with faith and pure innocence. I know not what you will derive from it, or what you will hold on to… all I know is that I must share it!

Jesus didn’t do this for a particular community or religion. He did this for every creation of God, he took the path less tread that we may know it and release our own burden.

Jesus, healed, you can heal too. Just know that you were created with a free will. Free will to be an extra ordinary human being with special powers, each power is waiting for you to claim it.

Jesus, prayed for long hours, not to save himself, he did it so as to be able to hear the voice of the creator so clearly, that no matter what the reality projected into his conscious mind, he just KNEW. Spend time in silence, silence is a prayer. Silence is the is the door that opens you up to a life greater than expected or accepted.

Jesus, spoke and shared his thoughts. He did this for memories to live on. He spoke, that we might repeat it. We must find time to quieten our minds each day, to receive divine guidance and pump in every iota of faith into these words of wisdom, that we might continue to be blessed and bless each breath with gratitude, for the only time we most fear the loss of a breath, is when we feel we may never breath again..

Remember, to live each day cheerfully following your deepest instinct, there is nothing more rewarding than truly believing. Create a memory each day, these are the stories that will live beyond your living years.

I am so grateful for the joy of receiving this, for sharing it and for a new perspective on living it.

Before I sign off this post, here is a simple way to make the breakthrough of life you’ve always been WAITING for! This Sunday is Easter, the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. Let this be a day marked to give yourself a brand new perspective on life. Buy an Easter Egg, the symbol of new life, for from an egg a chicken is born! In cracking it open, believe, that you have triggered a new beginning for the rest of your life. The more fun you create around the ceremony of cracking open the egg. The more significant a memory you’ll create of the day you decided to chance your very perspective.

Good Friday, you are the gift Jesus gave me. Thank you for being my guide and wisdom.
