My favourite gifting sites

Is your friend's birthday coming up and you have no clue what to gift ? Are you bored of the regular gifts like a Shirt / Wallet/ Perfume or a soft toy ( for a girl :P ) ofcourse. Atleast thats what has happened to me and made me search for the newer gift ideas and the online sites. I had come across a few ones and thought of sharing it with everyone .

1. http://www.excitinglives.com/
Here you will find variety of gifts from the regular simple ones to the most exotic ones. Somethings are just too good that you will plan to order for yourself . Few ones which I liked includes, Magic Mug , USB Tea Warmer , Coffee Break Mug , Cool USB Fridge and many more ...

2. http://www.craftmygift.com/
Are you looking for something more personalised ? Then you definitely need to check this one once . I wanted a farewell gift for one of my colleague/friend and found wonderful gift " Ancient Manuscripts" . You get to modify the content the way you want.

3. Planning to send someone Chocolates ? Send it from http://www.infibeam.com/ and not other sites like http://www.floraindia.com .. If you compare the prices of 16 pc chocolate box on both the site , its 675 on floraindia and 325 on infibeam . So you know which one to select :) ..

4. Want some photos printed or may be a photo album ? There are many sites available for the same but I personally like http://www.zoomin.com/ :) .. Fast delivery and nicely done ..

5. Planning to send someone a card but don't have enough time to go and get one .. You can select a card online at http://www.indiacardsgallery.com/ .. and tell them the content you want . They write it very beautifully with the sketch pen and deliver it to your loved one .

These are my favourites and will keep updating it , once i find out more . If you have any other good suggestions , feel free to comment. :)

Jiyo Zindagi Aaram Se

Looking from the window pane, I am pondering sometimes if having a cubicle with such an awesome and pleasant view is good or bad. Seeing those raindrops fall on the glass and then slowly move down just distracts me from everything and I am left staring at them. When I sit inside there, I always think that

"Office kyun hai yaar … Koi mujhe bahar jaane de .. Itna acha mausam hai … "

But when the office ends and I am supposed to leave for home, I have an opportunity to go out in the rain and just feel the beauty around me. But what happens is opposite; I am cursing those rains for raining so much because of the bad roads, traffic jams, fear of being wet before I reach home. You walk very safely on those bad roads with the potholes everywhere protecting your white shoes / jeans .But then suddenly comes a car / Hyderabad special 8-Seater Auto and splashes the puddle over you .. What’s the thought which comes first

"Kya yaar .. Itna dhyan se chal rahi thi .. Kya fayda hua .. ? "

Have you ever planned big for tomorrow and suddenly something came and ruined your entire plan? But tomorrow still came as a new day and the difference was it had lot many surprises with it since it wasn’t planned.And this applies to the general funda of life too, that it’s not about planning/thinking always, sometimes it’s all about enjoying the moment , living the moment. It’s not about keeping yourself inside the fence of restrictions/rules; it’s about living life fully. So go ahead, do what you always wanted to, live the way you always wished to. Bas “Jiyo Zindagi Aaram Se …….”

"HOW" Do We Know ??

Whenever I sit with myself and think about the outside world, my mind is befuddled with unanswered questions of life!! I am lost into the continuity of the questions leading to nowhere and asking me again and again to solve them, asking me to answer them. I always think "How do we know what part of us is fake and what part is real!!" Sometimes when i don't like someone and my mind wants me to do something wrong to that person; but I don't do wrong and behave good to him/her . Does that mean I am being a diplomat or it means that i am controlling my mind to behave good (which is good)!! How do you know if you are being a diplomat or you are actually good to that person?? How will you rate me on this?? Good or bad?? Your friends will always say "Bitching is bad" but they will also say "You should speak out whatever you feel". So when I feel not so good about something/someone; and I try to share it; is it bitching or speaking out?? People often say that there exists a very thin line between friendship and love.. But how do you know where does that thin line exist?? Why do you always think its friendship and others think it as love?? How do you know if you are crossing that line or not?? There are different philosophies of life and different paths to live your life , but how do you know whats the ultimate aim for which you live it?? Is it you who decides what matters more for you or is it people who judges you on what you decide?? People find happiness in different things and some find it in the average life which they live . So is there anything wrong if I want to live average life ? If happiness is the ultimate goal of life and I find happiness now , why do people judge me and say "This is not what you are meant for". I know "Hard earned happiness lasts more and is more precious" but how do you know that the present happiness won't last more!! What if small things make me more happy than the success in life ; does it still matter to run for success?

My mind is stuck between fake & real, love & friendship, happiness & success!!
