Christmas cards..complete finally

Free!!!!

Life is so beautiful if we dnt plan it.The reason why we feel bad is that life is leading us to what is best for us with variety of experiences.Experiences of all kind-bad good(Well there is nothing bad or good.It is beyond our understanding).But we begrudge because we start accustomising ourself with present and least prepared for next.Next is what leads us to next(a chain ,a knot,a step).We are so beyond understanding all these unless we have our emotions on -ON THE MOVE mode.

After so long i can actually understand it, though the application is yet to take bold charge. Yet I can see things.

I wish I have conveyed what all I am feeling.But as always I fall short of words when it comes to explaining my feelings!

I feel freee...free free free...free bird!

Bride Wars!!!!!!!!

This movie is about two friends. Thy had same dream to marry at a mansion in the month of June. how things go wrong and they have to marry on the same day! no one is ready to compromise and cancel the date. its a fun movie to watch as we gals can easily relate to our shopping trips, discussion about guys, marriage. how we save to fulfil one wish! our love and gratitude towards each other. After i saw the movie I called up my best friend and in fact i wish we saw it together.

Its a fun on drama and masti. especially when these two fight against each other. how they being best friends know the weaknesses of the other and pick on each other.

It has some really amazing moments. to begin with, the role play of groom and bride in childhood, after the gals grow up,they go for jogs. which all of us do with our friends and prefer friends over ipod,shopping. there are times we buy gifts for each other and end up lying and giving{this doesnt fits me}

Also when we plan to get married, we take minimum advices from our grooms. even if we take, its to keep them happy.

We love to shop for your trousseau and plan everything ourself.

Our best friend know what kind of person we are. She even know when we need her the most. there are times when even our boy friend can't console us. its just our best friend who we need at that time.

the story makes you value your best friend and also realise what mistakes me make when we become selfish.

From my side-All stars to this movie to make me feel nostalgic and call my old and oldest friends and get in touch!

So people! do watch the movie!

I am a BSG member and this picture below is the Festoon made for the January meeting.





This picture is the collection Snowmen that I made to add on my Christmas Day board.I used foam and paper to make them.










I don't know if there is something with the talent I have or it is just another skill that I have acquired.I have been working with paper since ages now and sometimes I want to take it as a profession.I have worked in various projects and still working.In fact many of my friends tell me to take it seriously and start my own business but guess I am still not sure if I am made for it.
Yesterday I made a community on orkut on request.

All my work displayed here is with paper!!!

Sensei-Thank you!!!..Tisca Chopra's experience

Name : Tisca Chopra
Occupation: Actor

Good morning. I am Tisca Chopra, WD district chief from Andheri chapter Mumbai. I have been practicing for seven years. At that time, when my seniors told me that all prayers are answered in 7 years………I laughed, but as you can see they were right. I am here to report victory in all departments in this year of TOTAL SOKA VICTORY!! I was a failure as a film actor suffering from pessimism and depression, acute fears and doubts; I found it hard to believe any of the positive, hope filled things my seniors said. But I read all the Buddhist books I could lay my hands on, day & night and attended all possible meetings because I had nothing else to do. I was out of work and had no hope of finding any. In fact, I got into the habit of getting chucked out of projects. My husband and friends would often remark on how unlucky I was.

Slowly, I saw changes in my environment, small bits & pieces of work started trickling in and I noticed that I was getting an opportunity to become a better actress. I still really didn’t believe that this was the result of my practice, but I continued anyway.

Strangely enough I was made group chief and then block chief……I found it very hard to chant for others. Often I would quickly pray for my members and finish it off and then get to the fun part of long and fulfilling prayers for myself.

I felt like a total fraud at group and block meetings, living in fear that my members would find out that I was just talking the talk but couldn’t walk the walk.

On the home front, my husband would get a laugh out of my practice. He called it cult and a fad. Then & there I determined that he must not only practice but also become MD Chapter Chief.

I still had very little faith, but fairly strong practice and I really enjoyed Buddhist study. Soon I was able to pray more strongly for my member’s happiness. I realized that a good home visit was one, where I came back encouraged. My shakubukus taught me more about Buddhism than anyone else. The concepts of Esho Funi and Ichinen Sanzen had a very deep impact on me. I stopped blaming my parents, the fact that I was married, & my work environment for my failure.

In “On Attaining Buddhahood In This Lifetime” I read, “Your practice of the Buddhist teachings will not relieve you of the suffering of birth and death in the least unless you perceive the true nature of your life.”

I tried to perceive the true nature of my life & found a very weak person; selfish, pessimistic & arrogant. So I picked up my prayers beads & got to work on my Human Revolution.

Sensei says: “You must be strong. There is no hope of winning in this chaotic world if you are weak.

I noticed a very strange thing……the more my members began to trust me, the more I was trusted at my work place with bigger & better work.

I began to feel great pride in my practice. I realized that perhaps the only thing special about me was my faith!

Around this time last year I had a few films on hand, but still no regular work. I was on the wait list for the AGM here in Delhi, when I was offered a regular part on a hit T.V. serial. Suddenly I was also confirmed for the General Meeting. The dates clashed. Much to the producer’s dismay, I joyfully turned the T.V. serial down & landed up for the General Meeting. On my return to Bombay I got a very prominent part in another very huge serial, which turned out to be bigger than the one I had refused. My work karma finally changed with the General Meeting. All of last year I have been extremely busy & now am in a position to choose what work to do & what not.

I am gaining regard & praise as an actor in the theater, television & film & as a result of which, I am now doing 3 mega serials and a few films – blocked for 22 to 25 days of shooting each month. And in each piece of work there are quite a few cases of advance shakubuku.

My husband by the way, though not MD Chapter Chief yet has become very regular with Gongyo & daimoku; attends NHR study meeting & to my utter disbelief has started taking guidance. He has just become a full-fledged commander with AIR INDIA and freely admits that Gongyo & daimoku helped him tremendously during his tough training. Together we have shakubukued 2 of his other pilot friends, thus opening up the International skies for Kosen-rufu.

I now determine, every single member in my district will become a strong, caring & capable leader & the district will soon become a chapter.

I determine to selflessly work towards the formation of the performing arts division in Mumbai & towards this, forge a character devoid of meanness & arrogance. I will continue to shakubuku outstanding individuals & do great work in Indian & International Cinema & make Sensei proud!!
