बचपन

प्यार मिला, परिवार मिला
ख़ुशियों भरा संसार मिला।।

जाने क्यूँ फिर भी मन
याद करे वो बीता बचपन।।

वह माँ का आँचल, पापा की गोदी।
भाई के संग बात-बात पर झगड़ना, 
अौर फिर अपने आप मान जाना।।

याद आते हैं वो प्यारे दिन,
न लौट के आएँगे अब वो दिन।।

प्यार मिला, परिवार मिला
ख़ुशियों भरा संसार मिला।।

जाने क्यूँ फिर भी मन
याद करे वो बीता बचपन।।

सहेलियों के संग हँसना और घूमना,
बिना किसी फ़िकर के कुछ भी करना।

याद आते हैं वो प्यारे दिन,
न लौट के आएँगे अब वो दिन।।

दिन बदले, समय बदला, 
कब बचपन अपने हाँथों से निकला।
सोचती हूँ तो लगता है - जैसे... 
इतने साल बीत गए - कैसे?

आज ख़ुद माँ हूँ तो जाना है,
अपनी माँ के त्याग को अब पहचाना है।
जो चीज़ माँगती, मिनट से पहले मिलती थी पापा से;
बहुत याद करती हूँ बचपन की वह कहानियाँ जो सुनी थी पापा से।।

प्यार मिला, परिवार मिला
ख़ुशियों भरा संसार मिला।।

जाने क्यूँ फिर भी मन
याद करे वो बीता बचपन।।

समय बहुत बलवान है,
करना पड़ता इसका सम्मान है।
समझ में आया अब जाके ये,
समय का चक्र चलता जाए।
कोई शक्ति न इसे हरा पाए।।

आज है मेरा अपना संसार,
यहाँ सब करते मुझको प्यार ।
फिर भी मन हो जाता कई बार बेईमान,
सोचता क्या है, और क्या हो जाता है इंसान।।

मन में भरी उमंगें, जैसे समुद्र की तरंगें ।
छोड़ आई हूँ सब कुछ पीछे, आँखें मूँदती हूँ तो लगता है- जैसे,
मेरा प्यारा बचपन मुझको खींचे।।

जानती हूँ न लौटा सकेगा मेरे बचपन को अब कोई,
जिसे आज भी याद कर के मैं सोई।

ख़ुश हूँ बहुत आज मैं अपने संसार में,
न किसी से शिकायत, न गिला;

क्यूँकि - 

प्यार मिला, परिवार मिला
ख़ुशियों भरा संसार मिला।।

Winning is a routine



The latest addition in our kitty is POPAI OMA Gold Award, 2015.  Yes! We won Point of Purchase, International’s Outstanding Merchandising Award, 2015 in the category of Retail Display.  It feels great when you are recognized for your work.  Isn’t it?  Well,   we must first of all thank to those who didn’t like the design we previously made.  Had it been not that way, we wouldn’t have reached where we are today.  


My learning from this is “When God says no to something you want to do… do not get dishearten.  He is instead shielding you from giving you less than the best.”  So here we go – A brief by a client – Acer to develop a table top display for the new range of their W4 tablets.  The existing ones were dull, lacking liveliness with no appealing statement at all.


We began our work to develop something innovative, attractive with a style quotient.  After a number of ‘Failed’ – yes failed attempts we developed the 6th design addressing size, branding and attraction element.  And we were there, Finally!!!!


Executed across India and we won POPAI Gold Award 2015.  


We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has shown faith in us.  Motivation is what we all require and undoubtedly winning motivates us to work towards becoming better.
We are on cloud nine sharing our happiness with you.  Thank you for all the support and love.

Between Dream and Miracle



Read this and since then it was etched in my mind.  The line goes like “you are something between dream and a miracle to me”. How beautifully articulated by the writer, Isnt’t it? I was going through my Facebook posts at random and came across this one by my professor, nah…my guide, nah..my mentor… aah no my friend….Well, she is one person I have always looked upon as a guide, mentor, friend, idol.  She has been my confidant with whom I could share possibly anything and everything without any fear and knowing I would be out of the situation however bad it (was) be with her expert suggestions.  Ever since I passed out from my college where she used to teach me English, I or rather ‘we’ have been in touch constantly.  It has been like more than 4 or may be 5 years we haven’t seen each other despite staying in Delhi (both of us).  She is very kind enough to remember my birthday and wedding anniversary and do wish me on both the occasions.  Well, I in particularly do wish her on September 5 which is a ‘Teacher’s day’ and of course on her birthday too.  Honestly, I do not remember her wedding anniversary in fact, I never asked her about it.

So later in the day when I logged in my FB account, I saw her post where she was expressing herself while wishing her son happy birthday.  The sentence written by her got inscribed in my mind as I mentioned above at the very onset of my piece.  It was very beautifully expressed about the feeling she has for her son which is “something between a dream and a miracle”.  

Often when out of words, we find phrases to complete the blank space for that word but this in particular touched my heart instantly.  Why? May be because being a mother myself, I could relate to it - the relationship between a mother and a son.  I fondly remember the chilly early morning of December when I was rushed to the hospital by my parents (since my husband was away at work in the other town) to deliver my son.  It was freezing cold and I was in pain, immense pain for about 2 and a half hours.  The chaos, the screams got over and a sigh of relief was taken immediately after I heard the baby crying.  Yes! I told myself; (taking a deep breath) I am a MOTHER!!!! 

When I first held him in my hands, I was teary eyed and thanked god for blessing me with this lovely miracle.  My husband often says, “It’s a miracle”.  He still says and feels this is god’s creation which is unbelievable.  I cannot forget how euphoric he sounded on phone when he came to know that he’s a DAD!!!  He just couldn’t believe.  He arrived late evening.  It was a new year’s eve (31st December, 2003).  He held him in his hands and gave a contented smile looking at him.

Blessed, he shared that emotion of great happiness with me in the hospital.  

And today Aarohan (my son) turns 12!!! God! Time is just flying.  This boy makes my heart melt.  The affection and care that he shows for me gives me a feeling of how blessed I am.  Yes, he is my dream come true, a miracle for us (me and my husband).

I wish him god’s choicest blessings, a life full of health, wealth and success.  My boy, “Grow up to be a good human being, respect all and stay away from all evils”. 

Happy Birthday my son!!!!

My Culinary Emotions



Okay! I am back here again exactly after two months and four days.  It’s awful, I know.  That feeling of emptiness was always there and I just couldn’t help it.  Or rather, I should put it the other way round; I never made an endeavor to help resolve my emptiness.  Everything that happens is the will of God.  So basically, I never thought that I would ever pen down a food post here on my blog which is called ‘Sentiments’.  Peeps, I started this blog to pen down the most touching moments of my life which are tender, nostalgic, romantic or full of emotion, feelings that I could share with you all.

One fine day while going through my newsfeed on my facebook account, I saw a very good friend of mine posting pictures of the dishes she had made to a group page.  I was curious to know since besides a foodie, I am an avid lover who is always ready to experiment with the little culinary skills that I possess. (Special shout out and big thanks to my mom for that).  The group is called “Chef at Large” better known as CAL.  

It is a wonderful group where people come together on this platform and share their innovative ways of cooking.  My friend pushed me to join and after a couple of days of going through her posts and reading beautiful comments and some awesome pictures of mouth watering delicacies, I decided to join as well.

Forewarning: CAL is contagious. (I am just hooked to the posts and keep reading, admiring, liking and commenting on the awesome posts of great Chefs out there) and am so full of spirit after joining it.   

The slow paced series of posts from my side to the CAL group began.  I was happy to share my posts with pictures and recipes to CAL.  Today incidentally is “Teacher’s Day” too and I prepared an “Eggless Black Forest Cake” on a special demand by my little munchkins.

Everything was homemade that I used and to my surprise, it came out just so wonderfully.  I always used to bake cake but never knew how to decorate it or do the icing on it.  This time I tried my hands on the decoration/icing part.  Before posting, I thought that there are many experts on CAL and I stand nowhere in comparison to them.  But as it is rightly said, “You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.”  Hence, I decided and moved on to get that icing done on my baked Black Forest Cake and guess what with a homemade whipped cream. Can you guys beat that?

And Voila! My first ever endeavor to decorate it was liked nah! loved by all.  The very evidence of it I got witnessing the million dollar smile on the faces of my little munchkins.  Within minutes of posting getting a call from my better half made me feel as if I am on cloud nine.

I am quiet joyous sharing about my culinary skills with everyone and as I said before, little things in life that makes me feel good, tender, nostalgic, romantic or full of emotions, I share it with you. And lastly, a special shout out to Nisha Ambar who pushed me to come and join the platform called CAL. Babe you know me well :)

Happy 5th



Yes! We are ‘Five’ Now.  The journey so far has been a roller coaster of events.  We have touched new benchmarks and envision soaring high.  The incessant and diligent endeavors of the team have made everything possible.  Our laundry lists of course increased and so the list of our clients too.

The confidence that our clients demonstrated towards us is itself a validation of our success.  Augustus’s momentum gained as we got ‘pat on our back’ consistently from our clients.  

We strive hard to give our best by providing groundbreaking and money-spinning ideas that are cost-efficient.  We work as ‘extended arms’ and not just as an agency.  Our association has been a bang-up with each one of our clients and hence, the taste of success.   

We did get accolades for our work and with each project comes learning.  With learning comes creativity and creativity is an outcome of thinking.  Thinking is knowledge and knowledge is having a right answer.  It speaks.  Therefore, in this journey of learning, we have acquired skills unmatched that has led us to the ladder of success.  

These 5 years flew at the blink of an eye.  We saw our goal, overcame the hindrances and embraced the challenge with open arms thereby, standing on the track accomplishing the objectives. 

Wow! It feels amazing and we know this is all because of you.
