spirited scribbles

missed it again!!:( don’t know when it will occur naturally to me..

well, have you ever said sorry and thank you’s to your furniture, walls, vehicles, utensils, books etc? ah, they are non living things! then do we need to?!

they can’t express.. but can we?! should we?!

well one can only decide for self and i am extremely thankful to my parents who did in corporate this habit in me.. 

habit of being polite and grateful to your things which help you and are part of your daily life.. and without them you are almost handicapped!

so as the checklist begins..

one of my precious thing would be this blog and yes i missed it again this year! missed IT’S birthday.. well if you treat it as good as living thing then it has birthdays :p and by the way, who defines what birthdays are really if only of living things or of non living things too?! i guess not even lord bhrama - lord of creation can decide that truly.. that what when and how spirit takes birth! 

it’s been so long for the last post and probably longest that i haven’t even thought or anything hasn’t inspired me to even ponder and keep in my computer drive..  no un posted but saved files either :( and thus, it feels so much more today when you almost can’t write?! (for what so ever reason like - life is busy, too many things piled up, work pressure, nothing to inspire etc) it then feels so significant that how far pondering over thoughts and sharing experiences  before been like! a way out to so many emotions experiences and expressions and how the tiny blog truly helps..

of course those who read loved criticized admired and encouraged it to go on.. and hence it happened and still happening..

but for me its been mostly great way and medium of expression. without which woman feels suffocated ;)!

So now it strikes me on my birthday to wish my blog belated birthday! that

'may  it continue long..  and may it gets better..'

ps:  how do we know and decide birth date? simply the day when I posted my first blog.. 8^th june 2008! :)

grazie.. gracious..

one incredible year spent post arangetram..

first arangetram anniversary today!

a smile through one eye and tear drops through other..nostalgic day.. the day when i danced my heart out..

gained so much pre, post and during that and lost even double..

that’s how life trade is :)

it naturally takes me to the past, not just by a single year but by many years..

and while i contemplate and think about the most special thing dance has ever given me?  is the grace!

‘grace’ to live life..

and like i mentioned before, what it took back as a fair trade is something so unfair and hell so special;(

and if life permits, then we can talk about it some other day.. but for now, gracefully getting back to the grace :) yes,

dance has been teaching me that grace not just to dance gracefully but to learn to live life gracefully against all odds..

how and what and why and i am not sharing it all ;)

dance blossoms with grace and its my sincere opinion that life too can if lived in graceful manner will blossom..

though this particular learning is a life time and a challenging process in real life..

but how and when this grace is tested?

see ourselves learning for years back stage, struggling to get that one step correct and sometimes we give up only to pick up again.. and on stage is there is any escape?  ankle bells may loose may fall, jewels may break or disturb and a lot can happen with costume too, cd’s might run too fast, system can fail or one might be unwell.. but the show must go on!!

how even double gracefully and smartly we would compose ourselves then..

similarly in life.. in tough times, i think we are only expected to handle those with grace.. but we over react, misbehave, feel bad, think negative, handle, quit, cry, crib and do all of that which blasts so naturally within us.. :)

instead this is my very simple understanding of accepting life that whatever it offers, it should be lived gracefully.. and that’s one of those special lessons dance has been teaching me.. to live with grace.

needless to say, only masters have achieved and mastered it to live it that way.. and we can little bit try and try again if and when fail.. but someday wouldn't we be grazie to that gracious way? :)

so here i am thanking my stars..

also a big thank you to particularly those whom i forgot to mention and thank in my speech on arangetram day..

cheers..

from shadows to light.. from life to life..

success and prosperity
peace and harmony
love and people
happiness and smiles
may 2011 bring all in magical ways to you and your loved ones..
wishing you great new year! priti parekh

it felt nosy:p and weird when i saw this message some friend put it up as her facebook status on new years day! not cause one shared my mere words without any of my consent.. neither i am a big famous writer nor i vouch that i dont copy and paste anything at all!
but i doubt if one really considers or rereads the meaning of these beautiful heartfelt words.. and the little precious time one spends over thinking on how to greet loved ones.. sigh

some 2 years back my blog initiated the same way when nothing came to my rescue for new year's wishes and i am totally glad today that i didnt opt for any ready made life or any ready made writeup back then.. or else the blog would have never happened!! :)

this funny friend of mine unknowingly sends my own thoughts aka my phone messages back to me as forwarded messages and may be she really likes it and hence she shares with everyone including me too :)

don't i say always, everything in life happens and comes for certain purpose..
thanks to hers,
she helped me update my blogpage which was idle for half year or more, clearly wanting to move on and was looking for some provoked intuition:P
she helped me value my writeup's knowingly unknowingly
she helped consider my blog birthday .. awe its born on 8th june 2008  :)
so i will continue writing messages and sending her as well :P whats the big deal when purpose is fulfilled ;) !
