You are who you are Mandy...
You are Mandy because that's the first name that comes to my mind as I listen to Barry M's Mandy.
Mandy , you are precious , don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You are the most beautiful woman in my eyes
Yet people are still talking about the color of your skin.
You are the idol of strength and courage
Yet people try to break down your spirit
Do you even know the inspiration you are to me?
You are the best friend one could ever have
I feel blessed Mandy that you are that friend to me
Graciousness has smiled upon you
And nobody could drape her as beautifully as you do
Beauty is after all in the eyes of the beholder
Mandy you are beautiful
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
~A, Dedicated to a very special friend.

Eat , pray , love
It was a gilded cage bound to break.She is happy that the shackles broke.Does he see her as she is even now?After all isn't it all about being real ? Time will tell.While these events of life unfold , you fall back into what you usually do most.Think about life.And what matters and what doesn't ?There is this book "Eat , Pray ,Love".It is about a woman journalist who embarks on a journey alone to Italy , India and Bali after being left by her partner.It is a year full of revelations , recovery , faith and falling in love for her.There is always a new start if you want it.In life we get so caught up in things and start looking for that panacea we believe there is around the corner that we forget the small things on the way.I am not the first one to realize that neither am i the first to write about it but every individual who feels it for the first time has the feeling of first within him or her.Don't get caught up in life.The three words - Eat , pray and love makes life so much simpler and beautiful again.Everybody knows that there is much going on beyond that.But going back to your basics is a healer at times. Don't make room for hate in your heart.Give peace and everyone a chance.And lastly I believe a Sunday morning with music you love can almost redeem your soul from the travails of life.

Realization
It's strange how the thing I most resented about a decade back , is the thing I miss most right now.I really miss my dad's disciplinarian ways .He would always give his opinion on how I should do things and how things should be done and how I am not doing it the right way.It would end up in a big fight with poor mom playing the mediator in a near warn torn zone at home.I would play my histrionics; doing justice to my utmost drama queen self and dad would not change his opinion.I stay miles away from home now.My dad still gives his opinion but its more like another perspective of things.He is more accommodating about my decisions now.He does not question me so much as he used to and for some strange reason I miss that.I have grown and dad has aged.Things always change.It's how it is.He is more generous towards me and I am more kinder.More than missing our heated arguments,I think I know there is a realization that he is aging and I can't change anything about it.And there is a slight ache in my heart.

Never let the worst get the best of you "Picked as a reminder
The scariest things are the most worthwhile "Picked as a reminder
Waiting with grace...." Picked for self
Hair , makeup and wardrobe are our best friends "Picked for fun
I <3 DC ..." Picked in acknowledgement
You are jesus's brother with a guitar and the same eyes.."Picked while trying to describe you
Shallowness abounds and swirls around me.There is only so much one can take. "Original and jotted down in exasperation.
~A , saving lines for my rainy days.

She was a poet by heart
A materialist by wants
A lover by desire
A jealous woman by envy
A good girl by tradition
She was magic by passion
She was Pasternak's Lara
She was Helen of Troy
She was aspiration's arrow
She was a saint's kindness
She had the wisdom of years beyond
She was a child's playfulness
She was crying on the inside
She was making the world laugh
She was an open book's honesty
She was your intrigue , your mystery , your wonder
Look more closely into her clear brown eyes
Maybe you will have your answers...
~A , know her even if you are with or without her ?

Not even an opinion...
What is an invention ? Something which did not exist and man created it.Basically somebody played God ! So an invention is not an inherent phenomenon.We grow to grow into the idea of that invention.I am not threatened by dangerous scientific inventions.I am at risk as much as the person next to me.But what about social inventions like networking sites? Its not something innate in man.What I know is that it is an invention , new to us and not a part of our DNA makeup.We have no handbook for it.So are we misusing it ? Is there a possibility that we might go wrong somewhere ? Are we too much out there ? Will intrigue & mystery of character disappear ? Aren't those qualities the most attractive ones that draw us to another person? Just a question , not even an opinion..
~A, sure to irk many...

Cook on repeat..
What is it about David Cook that makes me wanna come back again and again and listen to his songs ? Watching him on American Idol Season 7 was not like watching any other season of American Idol.According to me he is one of the best rockers I have listened to in my lifetime.But I have not been taken in by anyone's talent as Cook's.I think the reason why I wanna listen to Cook recursively is because he is so believable.Rockers generally have this air of surreality in their lifestyle and antics that almost lead you to believe that they are a different species from a different planet.No wonder they are demi-gods. But Cook is like any other regular guy but oh how extraordinary when it comes to talent.He is one of the best discovery of the decade.I loved his version of Billie Jean , Hello , Little Sparrow , I still haven't found what I am looking for etc.If you are snowed in like I am today , he is definitely worth your time.I am sure you would agree.Check him out.Enjoy.
~A, smitten by talent..as always

These are some of the things I noticed..
No one's a hero until he is wronged.
You live for the fight when its all you have got.
We are fascinated with and intrigued by handsome/beautiful troubled people.
You have to pay a price for every good you get in life.Nothing comes for free.Point is if you are willing to pay that price ?
Life is nor fair.Deal with it.Stop hoping for happy coincidences.
You wish you were a little taller , a little thinner and a little more assertive.
Till you achieve it , its big.Once you are there , you might tend to underplay your achievement.
Romance can start in the weirdest of places.
Rockers in suits have undeniable appeal.
Nobody gets rid of past baggage entirely.What matters is how much you check in to the next phase of your life.
Being optimistically pessimistic keeps you grounded.
Cliched but you can always choose who you want to be.There is always a choice and its upto you.
Men and women will always play games.
Most of the times it is not about winning but sure is about living upto it.
When you are traveling alone there will always be flight delays.
Nothing works better than sinful high calorie food when you are feeling blue.
Your parents think you are the most beautiful kid ever.
If Monday were a person , I would really feel bad for him.An object of so many's dislike without actually doing anything .
There is no right way or wrong way.Its only about doing the right thing.How you do it is again a matter of choice.
To make dreams come true you have to believe you deserve it.
How people perceive you is how you project yourself.So its best if you are the most confident and happy person to be around.Always works.
Humility and niceness never go out of fashion.
Life always gives you chances.Grab.
~A,a snow day can lead you to think in so many tangents...
