Stumbled Upon!!! :-D


A few days ago a blogger while leaving a comment on one of my post said that I seem to be a Paulo Coelho Fan. May be he looked at my Good-Reads.


Yes, I just love his books. The alchemist, The Aleph…both these books I can Read and re-read….Sometimes when I m not feeling sleepy at night, I open the book on any page and everytime there is something to re-learn.



A quote from the alchemist says “ Luck and Coincidence-It is with these two words, the emerald tablet was written” I hope everybody has read The Alchemist!


Luck and coincidence…….. Leave luck…..I wanna talk about co-incidences today.
first of all, I would like to tell, I love coincidences. Sometimes they are big and the consequence is either too good or too bad. Sometimes they are small, but the only consequence they have is that they leave a smile on your face.

Like Today….
A blogger left a comment on my post and everytime I get a comment on my blog, I make it a point to visit his/her blog, So this time too, I visited her blog.  She is also a new blogger and  and I liked her posts. The latest she posted about her old dairy that she just found and made a poem over that. A few days back, I also had nothing to post about then I too wrote this poem from my old diary, though it was not about my diary.

Since I liked the poem, I left a comment on her blog where I told her that few days ago I too stumbled upon my old diary. When I was making the comment, I made a mistake in the spelling of “stumble” twice. ( well, I am literate enough, but still find problems with Qwerty ;-)  ) 
Later I checked my blog stats and referring Sites and URLs, The latest traffic was from www.stumbleupon.com. I had never heard of the site before and then just realized these were the same words I made a spelling mistake with. Coincidence, Isn’t it??? 


When I checked the site, I found it really amazing. Its not that I check every site like that. But this “stumbled upon” caught my fancy and I clicked it. But let me tell you, it was totally worth it! In case you are like me and have never been there, Go check once!! Its worth a  visit. Though I am not on Pinterest but I found some similarity between the two sites though the major idea behind pinterest is pin your likes and interests and also see what others pin. But In both, its all about discovering something new in your area of interest. 

One of the interest I chose was of Puzzles ( I loovvvvvvveeeeeee solving puzzles) and this is what I stumbled upon:




The cat keeps running away…lolzz

If you too like games, puzzles…go to the link once and try.. J who knows You like it so much that then you tell somebody “ I stumbled upon this stumbleupon through Priyaa’s Blog.” B-)


And ya, those of you who are still laughing about that blog stats thing, Yes, I am doing all those stupidities of a new blogger like checking my blog stats and referring sites, checking inbox at-least twice a day if there is any comment for moderation..Haha…but I am enjoying it. I am loving my blogosphere <3 just the way I loved this Co-incidence.


So, Anything you stumbled upon coincidentally ?? B-)

    Coincidences are fun when they happen for good. And as u said stumbleupon is a very good websites on days when you feel bored and do not know what to do. It just lands you into something really nice and beautiful which you otherwise would not have spotted.
    And I love "The Alchemist"..Does that make me a fan? ;)

    Very well written. I am impressed. Coincidence? Hope you like history. There are many remarkable coincidences between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Please "google" it. You will enjoy reading.

For Love (Or Not) Of Books...

I remember the time in 2012, January or February, when I began reading , I was so hungry for books. I would spend the whole day reading. And the books I read then, I still remember the story, some lines even today. I used to have at the most three unread books at a time, not starting a book until I was done with the one I was reading. I might not have read many , but that was better. Slowly I developed a mania, not exactly of reading but of purchasing and collecting. Collecting books is a hobby, even an obsession but I am not against that. But I am against piling up unread books one over the other onto the bookshelf. It’s a pure disregard. Or may be it doesn't work for me! I just hate my bookshelf these days. It’s having so many good books yet I am not reading any. In fact, even if I am reading, I have realised that it’s more to finish a book than to read. I am in the middle of four books this time. It sucks you know. Leave. So, no more purchases

This post is a part of  Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for  Indian Bloggers  by BlogAdda Chosen among the Loved posts!! "Again you are scribbling..Can't you put your nose off your books and papers for sometime?" my mother snaps at me as I scribble a poem. "Oh ma! Atleast listen to what I wrote" "Hmm...tell" "Ahmm ahmm" I pretend to clear my throat and My mum laughs back. "Will you open your mouth or should I go back to kitchen?" "Oh!No-no please!" I say quickly and grab her by elbow. Who doesn't want audience? ;) Listen," Life's unpredictable, Can't say when it would take a turn. We can't really say, When life might be deprived of all fun. It's true, What elders say, You should know to walk alone; No matter  Come what may. She smiles and looks at me for some time curiously. "You write well and what you've written is indeed true."

*FICTION* I was going through all the messages and chats we had shared just a month back. How things change I wonder!! Re-reading them was like going through many emotions. Those lines still gave me the same smile, same laughter the way they had given me a month before or so. Though yes, this time, those were accompanied by a li'l sadness and a wish. A part of me still wished if it could be continued, if we could take it further. A wish that at least it should not have ended so abruptly like this. He thought for a while and thought about calling her. Perhaps he could change this. There was no point in continuing but he was feeling a turbulence inside him. He had always felt something different about her. After his previous relationship which ended on a bitter note, he came across somebody different. The reason why they became friends and then why he chose to end everything were unknown to him. It started all of a sudden and then ended. He knew he had his 'be pract
