Being Selfish...

Situations do not come by informing you. Everything's always gonna be a surprise. For everyone, the questions life asks are the same. The only difference being the approach of the person. We usually panic when we don't see our usual old routine. But on the other hand we also tend to crave for a change and novelty. Many of us hate a monotonous life. If that's so, why fear what you asked for?

We are all tested by life all the time in it's unique own way. Unique for us, but it seems to have a particular code to follow, just like all of us. There are bounds which we prefer not to cross. Also, living in a society we need to follow some rules too. We are expected to be "social". Which, if properly considered, means making others around us happy. If our behavior, our response, our approach and other parameters of being are good or up to people's expectations, we are considered good. If we fail to put up to it, we become the rude ones who are arrogant all the time. You are named, blamed, pointed out or even left out. If you belong to the sensitive types, well, god save you then. The weakest is always targeted in our so called society. As I always say, you live for yourself so if all these things affect you they shouldn't cuz in the end nothing matters. You need to tread your own path and follow your own journey. This society is something which makes simple things difficult for you.

You may argue that we must do our bit and let their Karma decide for them as we are answerable to God and no one else. Why didn't we think of the same while deciding for Kasab? Because then, we were the society. I totally accept the fact that we are solely answerable to God and no other being, but to survive and live you need to love only your own self.

There is nothing bad in being good to people but this if affects you, you need to review your steps. A human soul is pretty sensitive towards things. It gets affected by almost everything. But we can close these hyping doors and treat them well to make them behave. To get them under our own control nay than being under the control and direct effect of someone or some group who show all the signs of abandoning you in the time of need.

Play your part in the game, but play it in a way which makes your life better. Just need to keep one thing in mind that while playing your part, see to it that others' lives are not wrongly affected or may be some good is done too. This way you serve the purpose of right existence. No harm done, you feel good because you are good to people and your life is heading perfect too.

So everything seems happy, eh? What about the situations when the "others" are your own? Come on, life cannot be so straight and simple. Your close ones are the ones to hold maximum chances of ditching you and giving you the trouble time of your life. Why? Because they are the ones whose behavior, approach, and being affects you the most. And trust me you cannot blame them. In fact, you cannot blame anybody. Even if they are your own, move on. Change your course and move in the direction of the wind before the next tide strikes.

Wreckage is an important phase of life, any life. Everything good blooms only when there is nothing existing. Learn to accept that nothing can always be good and carry on your role. Not life but you will serve yourself with good.

Cheers to you, cheers to lyf...!

Smiling For The Next...

Another year ends. It was happy, it was sad. It was good, it was bad. We chose few things, few were out of others' choice. But no matter what, or how, it has passed and that is one reality we need to face. We cannot opt to relive those times or days anymore. We do not get a second chance to correct our mistakes.

This year also took many lives which taught us to love our loved ones more than we do, give them as much time as you can because you really don't know what might happen the next day. Our choices, our options, the happiness and our sorrows everything is going to be carried ahead to the next year. Learning from our previous deeds and steps, it's time for us to sort our lives further. Every year brings new challenges and phases for us. But they are threads and branches of one stem that is our soul life. But with everything, one thing we need to remember is to Live.

Be charming, spread love, and learn to ignore wrongs and believe in giving second chances. Life is so much better if lived happily.

Wish you all a happy and satisfying New Year!

Cheers to you, cheers to lyf...!

Diamonds In The Coal

There are all kinds of people whom we encounter in our lives. Some good, some bad, annoying, happening and what not. All these judgements by the way are particularly personal perceptions. When we call a person annoying it’s not him but our perception about him or her. Some might find the person amusing too. It is just about how we look at things. Sometime you don’t give a darn about a person but he or she makes it a point to stand by you. Let’s consider our parents for instance. They may not like certain things we do or don’t but when in need they are surely the ones to stand by our side without any ado. It happens that somehow we start taking certain people for granted and slowly start turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to everything they do or say.

Not just our parents but many people in general who are close to us or, kind of, care about what we do and don’t with our lives. We do not like some people. The way they talk, live, behave with us or anyone. They might have some annoying habits which tend to keep you off them but then there is what they feel for you. How much every you blame them, repel them, say all the possible worst things on the earth to them but they never budge. They stick with you all the way long. They offer you help and say “I’m there. You are my friend after all.” No matter how bad you have been to them prior to this. Things somehow never tend to bother them. Of course they must get hurt but somehow they have the strongest will power and firmest belief on their friendship or if not a friend their relationship.

That person can be anyone from a parent, a friend to a partner in life. There are people or couples you clash in life and wonder “How can he/she bear this? I would have kicked the hell out of the so and so person.” But that’s them and here are you. They have a strong endurance and tolerance but what is important is that you need to understand this at some point of time and really need to treat them right. If they were stuck to you in your thick and thin without expecting anything then they definitely deserve at least something, be it even some little thing that you can do. There is no point telling them to back off. Instead, you need to make a move and understand why do you find them so annoying? Is it their love, constant care, interference or what? You need to point out and try discussing things out. In some situations the person is not even someone close to you but they still keep on nagging. Obviously if you are someone who doesn’t like to open up to everyone and share everything with everyone, you will find it pesky. But then you need to drag the line yourself and try to explain things and sort them. Mind you, you need them more than they need you.

I mean, look at yourself. Are you that perfect? Don’t you yourself have any annoying habits which others might not stand? Come on nobody is perfect so evidently you are not an exception as well eh? You need to remind yourself that when you show someone down you are under the depths for someone yourself. It is not everyday that you get lucky with having someone to count on no matter what you do. So next time before repelling them or hurting them in any manner think about how they stick to you with all your faults and be with you no matter what blunder you yourself are. Trust me you won't need a lot of efforts as they really don’t expect much. All they need is the same love in response to the love they hold for you. Affordable right?

Cheers to you, cheers to lyf…!

Thanks Giving...

We inculcate so many things from the western culture. Their dressing, rituals, weddings, styles, accents and what not. Many Indians blame the western culture for the misbehaving next generation. The reason is the huge gap between both the cultures. There are good and bad things in both the culture if you really consider the facts. How about inculcating the good parts of the West? Every year the fourth Thursday of November is considered as Thanks Giving. Thanks Giving is a part of their culture unlike us by the way. For us thanking someone is a big deal in itself whereas they have this festival mind you, the ones who crib about them being ridiculous. Anyway, that’s not the path we are here to follow today.

When someone does something for us we thank them. Especially if it’s a stranger, we are all into showing our good manners and etiquettes. But what about the people who actually do all they can for us and do not expect a single thing in return? Do we ever consider thanking them for all that they have been doing for us all along? Knowingly and unknowingly people do something or the other for us all our as well as their lives. These people can be our close buddies, our relatives, our siblings and even our parents. Believe it or not but every person you meet in your life helps you with something and lets you grow. Be it your neighbor, some person you have hated all your life or even a few of your good or bad wishers. In some or the other manner all these people have been there always. Let’s take our parents for example. We simple cannot enlist all the things they have done for us. Not only that they have given us birth but they have given us everything we want at all the required times of life. They have always shown tremendous love and support throughout. Even in poverty they have assured us security and provided us with everything that we required. Obviously we cannot thank them enough for all they have done for us. But we can try that by our deeds. Similarly there are many such people who have been through our thick and thin. Someone who listened to us when we wanted to cry our heart out and never shared that moment with anyone else even though they hated listening to us crib. Someone who has taken all our tantrums and not uttered a word, someone who has been through your craziness and yet stood by you calling you a friend.

All these people need to be thanked for whatever they have done. No matter what they feel about you now or no matter what you feel about them you need to thank them not for them but for you to feel good and free. Thanking someone or giving them their earned credit makes them happy and eventually you are happy as well. I have always voiced it through my previous posts as well that everyone who has earned some kind of credit in your life needs to be awarded with the same. Let’s just try and celebrate this Thanks Giving whenever possible. There is no particular time or day when you need to thank people. You just do it. Keep your ego aside and feel all the good things about everyone, even the person whom you might dislike or even hate. This also helps in another way that is, when you think about all the good things about the person you dislike, may it be even one good thing, there is a possibility that your perception about that person might change. You might not hate that person or dislike the person to the extent you did previously. Now, it might crop up in your mind that what if the person you dislike dislikes you too and laughs out at you when you thank him or her for something and you end up annoyed? Just remember one thing, you are doing it for yourself and not for anyone else. Who cares about what he/she thinks? You are following your deeds and you will bear the fruit for the same. There is no point thinking otherwise. Trust me this really makes you feel content and aloof of any feeling of pressure or obligation. Try it once maybe you will find yourself at peace.

Cheers to you, cheers to lyf…!

The Loss



“I am sorry”, he said.

“Both?” she asked, stunned. He nodded, kept a consoling hand on her shoulder and left.

Shivering, she sat down on a chair behind her, rocking back and forth. She got up and left the corridor as fast as she could. She went down the stairs and into the dark night. She had tried to be strong all along the episode and now she was being greeted by the most terrible news. This was not right. This should not have happened. She knew things were not in her hand. She lit a cigarette, and took a long drag trying to suppress her tears down her lungs through her nostrils. Her phone rang. She saw the name and received it.

“Hello?” said a female voice on the other end.

She couldn’t speak. She knew she would lose it if she did.

“Where are you? Are you alright? Say something, I can only hear you breath.”

She could feel the concern in the voice of her only close friend. She tried with all the strength and said, “Yes, in the lawn. Coming.” and disconnected the call.

She took another drag and closed her eyes to feel the breeze flowing on her face making her aware of her lone self. She let the memories fill her. They had grown her up and taken care of everything about her till now. Today when she gets back home it will be hushed and empty. No usual greeting, no one asking her about her day, whether she had eaten anything. This day was to come but not in this way, not all of a sudden because of some random person’s fault, or may be her fault. She felt anger and remorse conquering her. She wanted to crush the person just the way he did with her folks, her creators, with his black Honda. That was the information she had received through the inquiry.

A hand on her shoulder interrupted her trail of thoughts. This was the only person she was left with. Her colleague, her best friend, her guide the only person on whom she could rely blindly.

“You have formalities to complete”, said her only support, “I wish I could do this on your behalf but the doctor wants to see you to wrap things up.”

She took another drag from her tear suppresser.

“I can only assure you that we won't let them get away, it’s a promise!” said her friend.

She threw the butt in the grass, crushed it under her shoe and turned to look into her friend’s face with a blank, stern look. She nodded and her friend gave her a reassuring hug, completely understanding the chaos in her best friend’s inside. She revoked, “Let us go”, she said, took a deep breath and moved towards her horrifying nightmare.

Emerging Out Of Confusion And Complications

We keep pleasing everyone in life; starting with ourselves. Rather that’s the main motto behind everything. We please everyone to please ourselves. Everything in this world comes with a cost; especially happiness. If people around us are happy so are we. That is only until we tend to become indifferent towards everything. But the fact is indifference is the biggest lie. You simply cannot give a damn to things even if you say you do or you might as well behave so but frankly you never actually do that. It always matters what someone has to talk about us. Come on, no one likes to hear anything bad about themselves. We always wish to be in the good pages. And if something makes us not be on the good side, then starts the trail of explanations and justifications.

Life is so complicated, isn’t it? Well, actually it isn’t but somehow things make a huge chaos around and then everything starts looking like a maze. We confuse ourselves with what is right, what is wrong and mainly what is right to be done and wrong to be done. There is a difference between these two. There is a difference between what is right and what is right to be done. What you do sometimes might seem wrong at a point but it may be the right thing to do given, the situation, the circumstances and the right state of mind. No decisions can turn out right when taken on impulse. But there are times when certain decisions have to be taken on sheer impulse. So would you call them wrong? Not at all, they are right for that time. We are so judgmental about everything; about people, about things, about our futures and of course about ourselves. Why can’t things simply stay at their pace? But that is what human life is for. We hurt, get hurt, we are happy, make people happy. We regret, feel bad, we feel good too. There is a reason we are not born alone in this world. There is a reason we are populated because that’s what we have to learn, to live with people. You cannot simply keep yourself out of the crowd and try to get along. That is one reason you tend to please them every now and then. But is that the right things to do?

Every interaction, every meet with a new person gets us closer to knowing the world in our own way. The number of people evacuated from our lives gets replaced by the same number of people on our list again. Looking back in our lives we understand so many things that we should have done and those we shouldn’t have. But at that very moment when they were done, they felt just right didn’t they? So, perfect. What is gone is gone and things are not going to change. The only care to be taken is to see that no mistakes are repeated and one important thing is not to forgive ourselves for those mistakes. It is true that we tend to forgive ourselves a lot more easily than others. Once forgiven, things are taken for granted. The moment we start to become strict with ourselves that is the time we learn to be firm and thoughtful about our every move. Yes it is hell difficult. But no matter what, you can be sure of things and be the one to do the right thing, virtually or practically.

Sometimes we also tend to be selfish and think about nothing but our own self. Everything but us seems wrong. You need to sit and think on such occasions. No reaction is the best reaction at times. This way we can keep others as well as ourselves happy. If you don’t feel right it’s ok. It is not a compulsion to go and shout to the world how bad you feel or how good you feel. You live for yourself and not for attention. If pleasing others makes you feel happy, be it. But your happiness is your own. Everything does not need to be known everywhere. We just have to get along with the world, not live with it. The more we run behind things the more they tend to get away from us. Respect is what gets affected here. Respect is definitely not a joke, it is something really, really important and you better not play with it. It is something which decides the behavior about you. The world is like a boomerang, everything which goes comes back again. Why not stay where we are and let physics do its job?

Cheers to you, cheers to lyf…!

Knowing Yourself...


You have things in life, your life, that define you. Some things which make you, You. Why is it so difficult to understand that you live and lead your life only for yourself and not for some third person? No one at all. Anyway let us not get there. What I want to say is how well do you know yourself? How many of you face trouble with the simplest question like "Tell me about yourself?" and the first thing you start with is "Ummm..ok"?

If you did face this problem and have overcome it here is my applause of appreciation! If you still have this problem with answering this question, Wow! That means you know and remember everything since birth yet you have not been able to decipher your own self. Well now that is an issue. We learn everything everywhere. But the most important thing we got to learn is about ourself. We keep running blindly in the midst of a dessert searching for that one oasis to help us get some strength. What if we already knew about the path we were taking? Won't that be even better? Of course it would. Knowing about ourselves helps us know where we want to reach and where we want to see ourselves destined. We work our path out gradually and move along.

We are aware of simple things say like our food choices, clothing choices and other preferences. But then is that enough to define oneself? Sometimes yes. But only if these choices are our own. It happens that few of our preferences are grown over the choices that our surrounding people make. Our parents, friends and all the people whom we consider to be the best are the most influential people around. Agreed they always think for your betterment and goodness but that doesn't mean they own you or rule you. They are not the ones to tell you what You like and don't. It is totally Your personal choice. No matter what happens if I like cheese and you don't, you won't how much ever close or beloved we are. So there is no point doing anything against your will for someone, anyone.

With all this, remember one thing that you are not being genuine to the person either. What the person sees here is someone who is not oneself! The person interacting is someone whom the person himself doesn't know! Now that my darling is lame and unacceptable. You are being fake knowingly or unknowingly. Respecting your choice will make others respect them too. Also if you do not respect your own choices I wonder how you can even respect someone else's choices. It's not that difficult you know, making choices and sticking by them. You need to confide in yourself with everything that you do. To know the world it is more important that you know yourself. That is how you can live, that is exactly how you can protect yourself or free yourself too. Life is not meant to live on someone else's rules. You make and break your life so you make and break the rules too but on your own risk and then no one to blame for the same. Life is simple. Keep it so.

Cheers to you, cheers to lyf...!

The truth about being Sad…

You take those things for granted that are not yours. The things you don’t are always yours. You can never be sure about anything in life. The only thing you can or rather are sure of is nothing. We aggravate many things in life; sorrows, pains, denials, rejections and what not. But have you ever wondered why is it always that you have to exasperate sadness? Why not choose a better option instead? Why not ‘Live’ instead? Come on, life isn’t that bad. You have good times too. Just that you don’t ponder upon them as you do with the bad ones. Things have positive and negative both. Every other day is new. Like the old sayings and phrases go, after every night comes day, every coin has 2 sides, there is always good after bad, blah blah blah...

You think you don’t know all this? Oh yes you do! But the problem somehow is in acceptance. May be there is another story for this then. May be you just like being sad. Yes now you’ll argue by saying “You are insane, who likes to be sad?” and all. But trust me there can be something going on deep down inside you, which makes you linger on the negative more than the positive bit. When you are sad you feel left out and probably that’s the reason you wish to have people around you. You keep distancing yourself but might want them to stay on longer just so that you know who actually cares. This happens more with females, though I don’t deny guys behaving so too. No, that isn’t gay! Guys have feelings too and I find no reason for them to behave any different from what they feel. This is where it comes. Acceptance! If you feel sad, be it! There is no need to run away from the feeling. Cry as much as you wish to. Analyze things, sort them out with yourself first, wipe your tears and you are good to go. Sort your problems out with the concerned person, I repeat, concerned person only! If things work out well and good, if not, move on. Scrap everything off and make a new start. By a new start I literally mean a new start. There is no point thinking on those lines again and again. Things go as they come. Just let it go.

Once you get over that situation make sure you do not look back. You might wish to cry thinking about everything again. But then think of those few people to whom you matter and who are affected when they see tears in your eyes or see you upset. They make you strong. Hold their hand and get up again. Life always gives you a second chance. It is always between you and life. No one else has a say in between. The sooner you realize this the better it is. You choose your path, you make your destiny. Being upset or woeful never helps. You need to rise and shine like the morning sun. Yes you have to, because, there is no point. Time will not pause or cease its pace for you, nor will people stop living their own lives. Come on you can’t blame them. They have their own destinations to reach. So simple; you concentrate on yours and attain that. Think about all the things that happened in your life till now.

Think about everything you have been through till date. Has anything changed? Yes. Everything has. Except the fact that you are living and you will die when your part is played. In all the phases of life there came so many things, so many people. None or some of them have stuck to you even now. Everything has an end and so does life. Why waste it cribbing than living every moment of it blissfully? Time is ticking. Step with it and sync in before you lose the beat and trip over the track. Choice is yours if you wish to get up and walk and dance or stay there face down feeling miserable till your time comes. Wonderful things have wonderful times. Grab them. Don’t lose them. There is more to it than it seems.

Cheers to you, cheers to lyf…!

Taking a step, making a start...

Life has just become a joke for everyone nowadays. We have become selfish, self-centered and totally unbothered about our surroundings and the happenings. There is literally nothing which boils up our blood. Even if it does, we happen to do nothing about it, keep mum and when the time passes we are all mouth to blame others. At the very moment when it is actually needed for us to take some actions what we do is, hide behind bushes and try to protect our own bottoms and play safe. May the thing happening be the gravest and sickest of all we don’t care. All we care is about ourselves.

When we see something wrong happening we tend not to interfere, but when something wrong happens with one of our family members or close ones why do we expect others to be thoughtful and take actions? Instead of helping that individual what we do is photo shoot the whole scene and make it public and justify it by saying we did it for public interest. Our police reach every scene after everything is over and the culprits have run away. And the best part is, we make fun of it. This is our system! Considering India is a democratic country every individual should get justice. We say women have got their rights and freedom in India. But have they really? Here women are being raped, molested and taken an advantage of every now and then. Some come in notice others are dumped and no actions are taken. The so-called high class people, who think they have got power in hand, misuse it and get away with it as well. Not like they don’t go through things themselves but that either turns out to be a publicity stunt or they just get away with things because of their so called power. The sufferers belong to the lower groups as they don’t have cash to spend like water. There are women who don’t get justice for years and years and all the system does is blame them for the deeds they don’t do.

With every new day, there are different types of crimes and offenses that come in notice. Molestation, rape, murders all these things have become so common that a normal method of crime is not satisfactory for us anymore. People have started using different techniques and strategies of committing crime. With all this we are among the toppers in corruption. Shove money and matters are sorted. No complaints lodged, no crime committed and hence no justice required. A female gets molested in public by a mob of 20 people in a public place and what others in the crowd do is stand and just capture images and videos of the scene going around than go and help the female out of the horrendous situation. Many of the crimes and situations happening are not even paid justice to. They are left in a limbo to swing in.

Life lines are something that hardly matter to people nowadays. With growing literacy, wisdom and knowledge it is observed that we humans have become self-centered and lonely. Whom do we blame for this, others? This is something we have dug in for ourselves and also by our own efforts. Our egos and attitudes have become more important to us than our morals and values. We talk about culture, etiquettes, manners and ethics. There is hardly anyone of us who actually tries to practice what he preaches. Life has become a serious joke and this is something which is inevitable if there is no humanity followed. If you expect good, you need to do some good too. Things don’t usually work singlehandedly you see. If you want things to work you need to grind yourself a little too. They won’t work automatically. You should not even expect that for your behavior if it’s on the similar lines. As you sow, so shall you reap is an old saying which is to be remembered and obeyed along too.

For a better place to stay you need to be equally good to deserve the good. Then and only then can you expect others to be good to you and value you. A little attention, a little help, a little anything for someone, anyone can make someone’s day or even give them enough confidence to fight for their own lives. You never know what your few words or actions might mean to a needy person. The only way to know is by helping and giving your time. Try it, maybe you can make wonders happen.

Cheers to you, cheers to lyf…!

Bruised But Not Broken, SHE Fights...

In the chaos and hustle of the fast moving life, she strives through many ups and downs. Very distinct and out-of-the-box kinds externally, but she is indeed the same old one from the inside. Deviating from the basic instincts, she made a walkthrough to the inevitable transformation. Abandoning and getting abandoned she kept struggling with all her might to enforce a strong and firm rooting in the ground where she stood still without budging even in the storms. Sporting a smile even when she was suffering and caring for others even when she needed to be nursed herself, being stronger than a man and innocent like kids at the same time, this is the Woman in the City.

She was known as just the one who is able to nurture the house and the family. With no identity for herself more than a man’s maid she was treated just as an option. That’s when she decided to substantiate herself against all odds. She decided to get out and go get a name for herself. In a chirpy and determined mood she did get out but then it was reality which hit her on the face. There was a dearth of strength she realized. As she went out when she was searching for light, it was darkness which welcomed her, which scared her, made her fall, bruised her and made her go astray. She was confused and hurt. There was no one to back her because she had chosen a new and different path altogether. She came back again with more determination and the prior days’ experience. She was able to put a step forward and see a little through the dark. She felt a little more potent and confident. She knew she would do it. With more trial and error she sought her path and gripped it, as tightly as she could because she knew she might become weak and she couldn’t afford it.

She was blamed and waived. Neither her family nor the world could stand her achievement. She was never praised. This weakened her and at the same time gave her strength to prove her and establish herself. She did start doing it. Conquering one thing after another, overpowering one man after another she reached her destiny. With this came the praise and the confidence that people didn’t portray before with their prejudiced minds. “Success brings you everything” is nothing but true. The way in which she grew brought numerous changes which were expected, accepted and unaccepted too. After the mission of getting an identity for herself, there came another twist which had comparison involved. This was more complicated and equally indigestible. But she had to go through this too. Proving her man that she was better in all terms and fields, proving every man about her prowess had become her main motto. She struggled and fought for her rights and prerogatives. The man wasn’t multitasking but she was expected to be. Expectations were what she was named to fulfill. She conquered this too. Standing on equal stairs with the man she now was not compared. But still wasn’t the man for the society.

Every place every quarter she was there where he placed his foot. He still couldn’t change the diapers of the baby but she could readily manage the company’s turnover with triumph. He still was a lame cook and she could bring business to the company with her charms and potential. She walked hand in hand with the man, wordily and literally. She no more needed him. The woman in her was subdued by the man in her. She was now addicted, to herself, to the power, the attention, the praise and the loneliness after abandonment. With loneliness came literal addictions, alcohol, drugs, smokes and also the worst physical addictions too. She needed someone to hold her yet no one to rule her. Bestowing trust on someone was completely out of question because this was taught to her by the experience of heartbreaks and betrayal. People used her sometimes and she was broken and disheartened but never did she once think of leaving her place of pride and self-contentment. If she was showed some consequences and if ever anyone tried to discourage her all she had to present were her times of journey from the worst to the best and phrasing her favorite quote, 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn' - Gone With the Wind. Nothing else mattered to her anymore.

Along with this resentful side, there was also a pleasant bit to her. She is lively, positive and headstrong! She always shows a Can-do attitude and looks for nothing but happiness around. Wherever she goes, she has heads turning towards her with her charm and confidence. This Woman in the City also has a home. Where people love her, care for her and trust her, where she has people, whom she loves and cares for more than her own life. Manning the house is sometimes enlisted in her responsibilities too. She falls but gets up. She soars high but stays stuck to the ground. She is full of life, love and affection. Lover to her husband, daughter to her parents, responsible daughter-in-law to her in-laws and friends to her kids and siblings, these are the roles she has to play in her daily life excluding her professional circle.

Irrespective of what work field she belongs to and what people she comes across, she never pays much attention to her bruises. At one instance she is an out-going well earning, modern chick, with abuses and fighting spirit and carefree attitude and on the other hand she is homely and considerate, with care and affection in her veins. Like when we see a person we are just able to see one part or side of him, unless the person turns and we are able to see the other. This woman has the strength to vanquish the evil and protect the virtuous.

Living in the city she is open to anything and everything. She is aware that she has scope, she is aware of her surroundings very well, in and out informed with the good and the bad of the city. Well versed with where to stand put and where to give up she goes out with and without her fears to vanquish them and be more independent that she already is. Helping people on her way and beaming with her confidence, the Woman in the City is the successor of tomorrow!

Cheers to you, cheers to lyf...
