You Are The Creator Of Your Own Destiny!

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes!

Surround yourself by people who believe in your dreams!

I’m not here to tell you if Long distance relationships are easy or hard, only individuals who experience these feelings can decide in their own head.  I can say that Long Distance Relationships are really challenging, and everyone experiences them differently. Long Distance Relationships requires A LOT of patience, which often causes an endless source of frustration sometimes, it also requires A LOT of love and shared trust between you both, when this is not successful at times it causes pointless worries without basis or facts and a fear that you're going to lose each other. Long distance relationships are possible, through the distance you can see how great your relationship will eventually be when the distance is closed.


For Gautam and me personally it’s the United Kingdom’s visa requirements that cause the distance. I explain and imagine the visa process like a rock boulder on a flat bit of grass to start with and at the end of the flat grass there is a declining slope. 


The rock being the visa and the flat part and slowly declining slope describes life. firstly on the flat part is going to be the hardest life challenge, to get it moving and keep it moving requires a lot of belief, strength and trial and error perseverance as we will have to fight with it to keep moving, once it's on the edge of the cliff it should roll by itself, some bits of it the rock will jump forward stages some bits of it the rock might stall but overall it's rolling for one outcome , our destiny and that's for us to be together!

My 2014 Holi Experience!

Happy holi! 

Holi also known as the festival of colours it is a spring festival and the festival of love.

Water Balloon's and Coloured Powders

Holi is a festival in where everyone play's and chases others with dried powder and water (coloured or uncoloured water) usually carried either through water pistols or water balloons or sometimes even just the garden hose. It is a game that can be played by anyone, it's a festival which celebrates the arrival of spring and to celebrate the end of winter, it also celebrates the victory of good over evil for many it is a festive day to play, laugh, forgive and forget and repairing broken relationships. It is traditionally a religious Hindu festival usually celebrated in India but has become popular with non-Hindus also.

Before Our Holi Celebrations

This festival can be played anywhere and often people use this festival for a chance to play music, sing, dance, visit family and friends and it is finished off by sharing traditional food and drinks.

Gautam's Indian Holi Festival


I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted to take part in holi this year in the United kingdom as taking part in holi in India was so much fun! Gautam sent me pictures of his holi celebrations and I couldn't wait to get home to celebrate mine!
Myself, a close friend, my sister and her close friend, my younger brother and two of his young friends (also close neighbours) all went up the back field and started off our holi celebrations. I had prepared the holi colours by myself and I filled up water balloons. 


We didn't prepare for how cold it was going to be but we had a BLAST! There was colours, water, laughter and tears flying all around!

Holi 2014 was so much fun, all the hard work of making the coloured powders was totally worth it and today has been a good day well spent!

Lots of love

Creating my blog

The beginning of my blogging journey

 Like I said previously I have been thinking to make this blog for a few months, thinking to make the blog was the easiest part to say the least, I came onto blogger with the help of a dear friend and fellow blogger, firstly I started by asking her what inspired her to start her blog, this lead into a conversation about blogs and what it entails and she encouraged me to start blogging.
I started by setting up my blog and I got to the stage in where I needed to chose a name and I was stuck again hmmm back with my thinking hat on... I then messaged my friend saying I didn't know what to call my blog, we discussed a few options and she suggested Gori Rani, it was perfect! Unbeknown to her I not only knew the meaning of Gori and Rani, I knew from the little Punjabi I know and have learnt, I knew that Rani was the Punjabi meaning of queen because my Punjabi mummy ji's nickname is Rani.
I then successfully posted my first post onto my blog; little did I know I would then spend the next two hours trying to figure out how to add different topic pages, eventually after the use of my perseverance and patience I finally realized that I have to add pages as a gadget!
I can't wait to be a confident blogger and I look forward to the future 

Lots of love


Welcome to my blog!

Hello, Sat Sri Akal, and welcome to my life in words and pictures, I am here because of my passion and because I have a story to share with you.

 The reason I created this blog was because, I wish to use my writing as a sort of therapy to help myself, not only with the struggles I have to encounter because of the long distance relationship I am in but to help my confidence in my writing abilities. Another big factor as to why I created this blog is because I wish to inspire my readers in the way that others have inspired me, in my blog I aim to share and tell my love story and journey that I have had to embrace because of love and my long distance relationship.
 For a few months now I have wanted to start blogging, the reason I postponed this decision was that I didn't have the confidence in my writing abilities, and that it took me a while to accept the distance. Now I have adopted the attitude that it's not the ability of the way I write or how I write that matters, if I am writing from my heart and with my experience everything will fall into place. I believe that long distance relationships are by no mean a source of frustration, worries and suffering but I honestly think they are amazing, because they can work not just work but be a source of genuine love, pleasure and satisfaction. If you don't know me I suggest that you go to the about me section. 
Thank you for taking your time to read my blog, enjoy. If you need anything just contact me.

lots of love
