tatva for life

Tatva for life ....
The other day I received a mail and surprisingly had the patience to read the whole stuff ..... believe me, it was worth a shot.... I felt the best thing I could do is to share it with all...... kisko patha.... yeh baat kab kiske kaam ajaaye :)
Here goes the tatva.....

Every relationship has a cycle...In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love.
People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU. Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It's a natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship; you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage. At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, "Am I with the right person?" And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when relationships breakdown.
The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the person you found.
People blame their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfilment. Extramarital fulfilment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most common. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your relationship. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this): The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the person you found.
SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it demands WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make it work. Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your partner). Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. If you know and apply these laws, the results are predictable. Love is therefore a "decision". Not just a feeling.
Remember this always: God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let GO!!

BACK HOME

Finally I am back home :D
From my dream land to my home land.
It was one of the most happiest moments of my life.... I was wide awake at 2 in the morning and was watching out of the aeroplane window to witness my entrance into my home land INDIA.
It was such a nice feeling..... I guess the first part of India that I could see was chennai.
The feeling of security was soo intense.... I knew deep inside, now everything is fine, I am in my own country.... with my own people.... speaking my own tounge..... it was just awesome.
The most important thing is, how stunning India looks from above.... to add to this beauty I was listening to this wonderful song "yeh jo desh hey mera.... swadesh hey mera" from the movie swades :)
hmmmm my sense of patriotism was at its best....was feeling like standing up and singing Jana Gana Mana....but the flight was about to land and the air hostess would kill me if i got out of my seat :D
Any ways I am now back in namma Bangalooru.....bach in my own sweet honey comb :)
signing off...
Ani :)

Jab we meet......

SAMBAV this ones for u

I was reading all the wonderful blogs tat my dearest frens shubs and Bhav have written….. phew they are just awesome…. I am not all that good with my words :) :) :) :) But wats wrong in trying…. Let me take a detour .....
As the title suggests, “jab we meet”, we always have a blast…. By the way, I am talking about SAMBAV, that is made up of Shubha, Anitha, Megala, Bhavya And Viju, Vidya.

We are a gang of “like” minded people :) :) :) :) As people say, “birds of same feather flock together” We are a typical example.
We can practically sit and talk hours together….. we will start with one topic and when we finally end it, hmm we will not know how we got there…. We can talk and talk and talk and talk …. I really appreciate our spirit :D

Usual scenario would be, we would meet up at Bhavya’s house [ our head office ]….. bhavya prepares amazing coffee [ actually I showed her how to prepare coffee lol ;) ] ….we have coffee…. And our hot topic starts….. We speak about practically anything in this world….the thing is, we are so comfortable with each other, we can share everything…. Our happiness, sadness, stupidity, bravery, crushes ;) likings, anger, frustration, experiences etc etc.

Its not just about chatting….. its about everything that we do as a gang…. We just enjoy every bit of it….
I just love it when we gals take our bikes out and go on a looong drive…. Its really an amazing feeling….. 6 gals, 3 bikes, long drives…..

I really miss all these…. now that I am away, I understand the true value of all these in my life….. long conversations…..hot 1 by 2 coffee…. yummy churmuri in Jp nagar [our usual adda]….. Dominos Pizza…… nandi chat’s paani puri….. swadisht ahar manchuri…..one dosa and 6 people sharing it…. Gals remember that hot coffee and softy icecream combo ;) yummm.... the list can go on

Its not the food that matters …. It’s the essence that it gets when we are together
its not that 1 dosa or pizza which is important…. its the fun we have sharing it
Its not the beautiful parks we go to…… It’s how beautiful and lively the park gets in our presence.
Its about every single magic that Sambav creates in my life…..

SAMBAV rocks and will always stay rocking …..

Experience is the name given to one's mistake :)

Hi all, this is what I went thru, when i first came here :)

I had a real good experience of my life, I was able to witness the same afternoon twice.... guess how..... on 18th oct, I flew from bangalore to Hong kong, which is 2 and a half hours ahead in time, compared to Bangalore.I was there in hong kong, and was able to witness 19th afternoon. and then flew from Hong kong to Sanfrancisco, which happens to be almost 11 and a half hours behind IST. I reached San francisco in the afternoon, again on 19th :) I guess it was the longest day of my life :) But it was a great day..When we were nearing SFO, I had sort of mixed feelings.... here i was, nearing my dream and was also scared about the challenges that came along with it. First challenge was, "IMMIGRATION". We were warned to be careful in answering their questions, as I dint want to be chucked out because of some silly answer of mine ;)
I am here on a business visa, so had to be very clear about my purpose of travel.... I was in full formals ;) [ business Visa u see ;)]Immigration was fineee, I was asked few questions, but it was fine.... I guess it was better than my Engineering viva :D
After Immigration, I felt soooo relaxed.... I thought its finally done. Now I can do all that I want. ....Reema and myself came out of the airport, first thing I wanted to do was, call India. We searched for a phone, all we cud see was a 1 Rupee, oops, 1$ dabba phone ;) We knew it wud not allow us to call home....
We went to the enquiry section and were bombarding tat guy with all questions, how do v make a call to India??.... where do we find a phone...where do v get change for 20$ bill.... HOW DO V GO TO MORGAN HILL [by the way, Morgan hill is where our office is located]....when we asked him that million doller question, he looked out of the glass door, pointed out a bus and said, in 3 mins that bus will leave to Morgan hill..we had to rush out of the airport to catch that bus, the lady driving tat bus was schocked seeing our 4 big suitcases, plus not to mention.... our hand baggage ;)
She said she will charge more for those suitcases.... we agreed.... at that point of time, we forgot to ask her one important question.....Will u drop us at our hotel ?? ..... midway we asked her that question and she said she cannot drop us at our hotel, but will drop us nearby.
I was enjoying each and every sight of America, though i was acting like a fool, by taking photos of traffic, roads etc etc[ hmmm now i realize, it was silly ]. Anyways, thank god, i was silly that day, I was seeing all round and suddenly caught a glimpse of our hotel name.... after a while..... our office name.... then i realized we had reached Morgan Hill...
I immedietly asked tat lady to stop the bus, [ guess wat, i asked her to stop, in middle of a freeway, that is like a highway ]. She went about a mile further and stopped in a deserted gas station.. and asked us to manage from there.. we like bakras, got down with all our 46 + 46 Kg luggage... we dint know how to reach our hotel from there, best part was, no one there knew tat our hotel even existed on the face of earth....
We went into a shop [usually all gas staion has a shop ], tat shop guy was really sweet, he allowed us to make free calls...one of us had to stand out with the luggage and the other had to do all phone work....really ahh, we were like museum peices there.... all were staring at us and our huge luggage. Imagine, One person is standing, with 4 to 5 huuuge suitcases, wat a scene...
Some people even started asking if we were lost.... we tried calling for a taxi, but we were not sure how well he understood wat we spoke to him, accent problem u see....one foreigner uncle, took his cell phone to make a call to the taxi, by then our taxi arrived,.... we were soooooo happy to see him....people here are really sweet and helpful.....it was like finding water in middle of a desert... we just dumped all our luggage in and reached our hotel room....guess wat, we had so much luggage, that we cudnt even close the taxi dikki....We had an adventure, we will not forget tat day for atleast quite some time....It was indeed a nice experience....anyways I have bugged u guys enuf now..... i need to put more blade.... so need time to think ....hope u guys learnt something from this blog.... If u ever come to USA, make sure u ask ur taxi or whatever means of transport u r taking, to drop u at ur destination.... mind u, its not India where, u can manage from anywhere :)
cya

My first blog :)

Hi guys, this is Anitha. A new entry to the bloggers world.....

I am a newcomer, no ragging please :)
Hmmm so i am glad that I am finally here to share all my thoughts and pour myself out onto this forum.
hmmm, starting trouble yar ;)

Ok, so this is my "about me" section and how i landed here.

I am Anitha Seshadri, from the garden city of India, BANGALORE.

I have lived all my life in namma Bengaloooru with my family and friends.... I never used to feel the need to write down something in order to emote.
Happiness or sorrow, fear or joy, dread of exams or anticipation of a party, Love or hate..... everything that I ever felt, I had my people with me to share this.

I used to run to tell appa, amma, ananya [my sister] or sheela aunty. Anything new in my life, I would just go to Bhavya's house and pour out everything..... SAMBAV is my gang.....all frustrations were shown on all the unlucky ones who r close to me ;)

I never felt the need for a medium to put my thoughts out.... my mouth was sufficient ;)
But now, its not so, I am living my dream.... I always wanted to come to USA, on my own.
And now, i have been blessed with an oppurtunity to do so.
I never felt bad that i am coming here, away from my family and my frens.... i was excited about a new adventure, that i was about to step into.... and yesss ofcourse i am having an adventure here ;)
But onething that never occured to me was, now my mouth was not sufficient ;)
So i decided upon using my hands and heart to reach out to all my near and dear ones out there.... and sooooo i am here guys, hope i can put down all the things that i have been mailing u guys offlate..... Shubs and bhavs u know very well, wat i mean :)

So this is my intro to all the bloggers

take care guys......my dinner is waiting for me
