Every Friday evening is the most awaited moment in life
these days, rather in the recent years… Obviously so as the week ends have
never been so meaningful ever earlier. Time spent realizing our dreamz &
passions, and living life every moment despite ups & downs. Doesn’t mean
that week days we are dead but only that it passes by doing things that we
ought to do to manage living in this world – world that’s driven by money!!!
As I write this, I retrospect… Have I been like this always?
Or is it apt to say only for the recent years, as I mentioned at the start?
What’s new? What’s changed?
Being true to myself, I would vouch for the fact that my
life has taken a new path only the past 4 years. Prior to this, yes I was
living my life the best possible way I could then but probably something was
missing – I say that now because I know exactly what I was missing then!
From my life’s journey, I strongly believe that ‘whatever
happens in life is always for one’s good! And definitely closing of a door
indicates a new opening – just that one needs to be wide awake to recognize the
new doorway! Luckily, I’ve been successful in seeing all those new doors (haha,
it means many have closed behind me, but that’s what makes one’s life interesting)…
While I have traveled through various paths of my life, I would say there have been 2 key cross
roads in my life: After Divorce (2000) & After 2008… While year 2000 was a
rebirth for me in many ways, 2008 was an year when I started loosing my dad for
the dreadful cancer; In parallel, doors opened to unravel myself - ‘finding the
real Sri, her dreamz, her likes, her dream world’ – All thanks to that One person
who had the knack of adding life / adding sunshine to one’s life! Since then,
I’ve been treading a real new, challenging, interesting path and would say this
is easily a dream run in my life :)
Today, I am the happiest person! Undoubtedly, the credit
goes to the one person who made this a reality - ‘Gops’ – who taught me how to
love ‘everyone’, who opened the long-closed doors of my dream garden: Saaral
Video and ‘Lensmangops Pictures’ – my path to fulfill my dreamz of being part
of the Media world – music & movies.
One who’s very special in my life most importantly for
accepting me and allowing me to be part of his beautiful world, which believe
me is most exciting and ever-growing. Without him would I
have ever met such beautiful people in my life? Thanks to him I have my own
small world that I always dreamt for... A world where I am
‘I’… where I can experience genuine love for each
other, where life is not a business deal of ‘give & take’, and most
importantly where I managed to find a purpose for my life :)
Are we friends or family? Many believe blood relationship is
only family but I believe & so does the others in this small world of ours,
that there is no delineation of friends and family whatsoever. Instead we all
bond with each other just by the positive vibes and boundless love, respect,
and value for each other! Ours is a world that’s dominated with fun, laughter,
energy, passion, and predominantly an urge to live life the best possible way,
be it a high or a low tide in life.
Here and now, I want to say this: “I love you – Gops,
Sangee, Prisi, Pupa, Talai, Aunty (prisy’s mom), Ammus,
Uncles, Sajeen, Prisha, Periamma, Sandhya… my sweethearts
kuchu, achu, chinu, and arya; and the world doesn’t end there – many more who are
now part of my life: vivek, sree, kumu, berks, sunil, sukanya, Abhilash, sandeep, rajju,
prabi, bisi, kumar, rupa, karthi, jazz, prassi, prabhu, maheswaran, ramesh, durga, jayan, grb, devi, kala, venky...its an ongoing list.
Here’s to you
Gopsi:)
“You have a way of
bringing out the best in all,
By your caring and the
interest that you take in all they do…
You make everyone
comfortable right from the very start,
For your smile &
love of life come from a warm and giving heart…
You are so special
that wherever you are around, it seems the world is filled with joys, just
waiting to be found!”
…. May the Smiles remain intact and all
your dreamz come true!
Thanks for the beautiful week end - a day out shopping, an eve treated to the best home-made Steak by Chef Gops, followed by so much of love and shower of gifts for my birthday - a day that I hardly ever celebrated much in my life, but that was past... this is the 'now' - thanks & love you all for such a memorable week end!
