Saathiya tune kya kiya!!

One of my favourite love songs...

Saathiya tune kya kiya� beliya ye tune kya kiya?
Maine kiya tera intezar, itna karo na muje pyar

Saathiya tune kya kaha� beliya ye tune kya kaha�..
Yoon na kabhi karna intezar, maine kiya hai tumse pyar..

Itni mohabbat seh na sakunga..
Sach mano zinda reh na sakunga..
Tujhko sambhaloo, ye mera zimma
Main hoon to kya gum jane tamanna�
Ab jeena marna mera, janam tere haath hai..
Maine kaha na sanam, ab tu mere saath hai..

To phir sambhaal..le main chala ..
Jana kaha ..aa dil mein aa..

Saathiya tune kya kiya� Beliya ye tune kya kiya?

Dil ke chaman ka hasna to dekho..
Jaagi nazar ka sapna to dekho..
Aise hue hum ek jaan ek dil, tu hai ke main hoon
Kehna hai mushkil..
Jhonka basanti hai tu.. tan hai gulabi mera..
Do rang milne ke baad hote nahi hain judaa..

To phir sambhal..dil yeh chala ..
Jana kaha ..aa dil mein aa

Saathiya tune kya kaha� beliya ye tune kya kaha�..
Yoon na kabhi karna intezar, maine kiya hai tumse pyar..

Strength of Character!!

A lot of people believe that strength of character means to avoid being in situations where you might fall weak or give in to a temptation. Personally, I don't believe in it. The strength of character is not to lock yourself in a room where there are no temptations and project that you are a strong person. Being strong means to stand in between all the temptations and then say 'NO' to them, then stick to what you really believe in.

Here, I am not talking about doing the right thing or the wrong one. I do not believe in right or wrong. There is no absolute right or wrong. These are very subjective terms based on people's perceptions and often used to justify their actions. People just do what they believe in and label that as the right action.

I heard/read somewhere that "Strength of character is doing the right thing when no one is watching over". I will like to change it a bit. For me, "Strength of character is doing what you believe in, when no one is watching. It is also doing what you believe in, when the whole world thinks that you should do otherwise" And that is the difficult part specially when your loved ones are against your belief.

This strength is not something you are born with, it is what you develop over time. Thats why it becomes even more important to be out in these temptations, to be a part of the realities of life rather than being a silent spectator from a distance. Our conscience is the source of this strength. It stops us from giving into temptations, and each time we give into the temptation, the volume of the conscience goes down until the time when it becomes mute. And that is when we don't care what we do, we don't remember what we believe in. We get haunted by our own thoughts, actions, words..

I know that this strength may cost a lot of things a lot of times, sometimes everything you have but it is worth it.. Coz then you are not haunted by yourself. You can look in the mirror and smile and have the most peaceful sleep in the world.

In Love with 'Macha'!!

Well.. If you have met me in the past 3-4 days then you will know what I am referring to.. 'Macha', 'Da', 'Chumma' have been added to my vocabulary and have been placed in a special function which is run every time I communicate.. Now its not that I had never heard these words, but one of my colleagues does complete justice to these words when he uses them and since then I have started liking them.. Specially Macha.. I think it is a very very cute word :P

Now I think that its such a cute word that I should not waste it on everyone, specially the people who get irritated when I use it.. So I have finally shortlisted 3 machas :)

• Preeti Macha: Apart from the fact that she has to be a part of everything I do, I think the way I use Macha for her is different from how I use it with everyone else.. I don't remember now whether I caught the habit of Macha by her over-using it or was it the other way round, but now we both use it a lot.. Our SMSes are Awesome Macha, tell me when you are back da.. Macha, I am hungry.. and even one of our emails was titled Macha!!!! So, my top Macha is Preeti :)
• Shankar Macha: Well, being a South Indian himself, Shankar understands the importance of the word.. And also, I like the way he laughs when we use Macha coz a lot of times we use it in a wrong way or are over-using it..
  
• Bharat Macha: I think Macha suits him more than his name (The name is very good but he is such a Macha :) ).. And I just realized that I have never called him Bharat, I have been calling him Macha only..
  

But being a Google Era girl, I googled Macha, which gave me weird results. Then I googled, Macha South India and my favourite favourite Urban Dictionary enlightened me..
Here are some of the meanings:

• Literally is term for brother-in-law (wife's brother). Used more commonly as an addressal to friends - So its more like Saala in North India.. I don't like using Abusive words for addressing friends so I will neglect my knowledge of this meaning. Just like how I call Ker Ying a Chikopeck coz both Ker Ying and the word Chikopeck are cute.. Although Chikopeck means a lecher and he is always conscious of where I use that word :P
• Slang for a friend, basically means cousin
  
• A term of endearment used by homosexual and bisexual males hailing from South India - hahahhahahahahhahhahha.. Is this the reason why some people get irritated when I call them Macha?

I don't think I care much about the meaning of the word.. For me its a word I use with people I think deserve the word.. So if I have called you 'Macha', its just coz I think you deserve that..

Work VS Study!!!

I completed 2 months of my internship today! :D And man, I have survived those 2 months fairly alright.. But I really miss University.. So, I just thought I should write how work sucks compared to studying and vice Versa:

Studying is better :

1. You get to wake up at whatever time you want to.
2. You can have cheap lunches at places you want to.
3. You can slack unless a deadline is approaching or have a mid term soon
4. You get to have a recess week 6 weeks into the sem and then long 3 months break 13 weeks into the sem.
5. No matter you are interning, you still have 2 heavy modules to handle. And if you are an iLEADer, you have a whole lot of other work.
6. You get to be close to your friends.
7. You are in the safe uni environment.
8. You are never free :P
9. You can still be actively involved in AIESEC
10. You can attend your brother's wedding :(
    

Work is better:

1. You get to practically see all that you have been learning.
2. You start hanging out with mature people and learn a lot from them.
3. You gym everyday of the week :)
4. You can spend a lot without caring much :P
5. You can watch all movies you want.
6. You don't feel guilty when lazing on weekends
7. If you are working in my company, you have hell lot of fun with all the learning and get to work with some of the most amazing people.
8. If you are part of iLEAD, you are excited about the Silicon Valley Business trip and the extended trip which your batch is planning.
9. You become more calm and mature.
10. You realize that being a student and studying is so much more fun and can't wait to be a nerd next sem onwards ;)
