Dear Kshitij,
Here is your horoscope
for Tuesday, June 12:

Deep, slow satisfaction is so much more real than fleeting pleasure -- or at least that's what you tell yourself while you're waiting for your rewards to manifest. You know, you have a point. Keep on keepin' on.

hahahaha very funny ... seeing what all has happened :)

The happiness and freedom of love

2007-06-12T10:17:00.000+05:30

The topic might seem pretty random ... but well its amazing when sometimes we act and feel completely different then what we thought will ... something which should had made me sad ... and did made me sad momentrianaly but well then i was engrossed with a feeling of strange happiness and freedom ... havent felt such good since ages perhaps ... over two and half years i must say ... its been a amazing learning ... and an amazing experiance ... words don't exist for me to express the amount i am feeling good about myself ... feel very energetic ... feel like singing and dancing (now i know i am bad dancer and singer) ... but its just there ... on cloud nine :D just cant stop laughing ...

I guess its a feeling of knowing and relaizing something in your life which makes a huge difference ... something which has always bothered me ... i know now what is love ... i can say that love can never be lost ... we immorals might disagree that aisa nahi hai all ... but well its always there ... many people say that love is lost and all .. i disagree ... i think it can never be lost ... perhaps the way we look at love is different ... love is relationship with any other person ... and its gonna be there always... it can never be lost ... its like we feel and we refuse ke aisa kuch nahi hai ... but then aisa khene se sach to nahi badal jata hai na ... truth still will remain same always ... the feeling is there and will be ....

the friendship is perhaps the most beautifull thing in life ... according to me breakups, etc are not real things ... atleast in a serious relationship ... it is a bond which is there and which will be ... its the bond of care for each other .. and love is about giving only ... what should had made me sad was that i am gonna loose her ... but then over time i knew i am not loosing her ... i can't ... and she also can't cause its a bond which we have and that can't be lost ... chahe kuch bhi ho jaye ... it can't be lost ever ... its something which is always gonna be there with us all our lives ... we are going on different paths cause it was not meant for us to be on same path ... but the love we have for each other will always be ... and thats beautifull ... i guess it not necessary for two persons to live together to love each other ... its just natural feeling that comes automatically ... its a click thingiee ... living together is perhaps a form of insaturation ...

i feel great to know this truth ... hahahahaha ... "satya ka gyan ho gaya hai" :D and perhaps its a huge truth i have realized ... i feel my life fullfilled because of it .. cause for me people in my life are very important and for me its important to ask the questions even if i know the answer of them is NO but i will ask them ... its like i want to be sure about it .. i dont want to pre-assume in certain things in my life ... i will always bug you my friends and ask those questions which i know many of you are not comfortable being asked ... but then i can only be friends when i know that person ... if i dont know that person i will never be friends with him/her and well thats me ... i guess now i can differentiate between love, friendship and insaturation ... a big learning added to my life ...

A friend of mine always says "You should marry your friend rather than someone you love" and i know what he means now ...

jindgi rocks !!! life is beautifull .... i am so happy ...

love u all my friends ...
take care and if u have read it please leave a comment ... even if its just a hi ... cause its gonna be important for me ....

Winners are too busy to be sad, too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful and too determined to be defeated!

Vivek Pradhan was not a happy man. Even the plush comfort of the air-conditioned compartment of the Shatabdi express could not cool his frayed nerves. He was the Project Manager and still not entitled to air travel. It was not the prestige he sought, he had tried to reason with the admin person, it was the savings in time. As PM, he had so many things to do. He opened his case and took out the laptop, determined to put the time to some good use.

"Are you from the software industry sir," the man beside him was staring appreciatively at the laptop.

Vivek glanced briefly and mumbled in affirmation, handling the laptop now with exaggerated care and importance as if it were an expensive car.

"You people have brought so much advancement to the country sir. Today everything is getting computerized."

"Thanks," smiled Vivek, turning around to give the man a look.

He always found it difficult to resist appreciation. The man was young and stocky like a sportsman. He looked simple and strangely out of place in that little lap of luxury like a small town boy in a prep school. He probably was a railway sportsman making the most of his free traveling pass.

"You people always amaze me," the man continued, "You sit in an office and write something on a computer and it does so many big things outside."

Vivek smiled deprecatingly. Naivety demanded reasoning not anger. "It is not as simple as that my friend. It is not just a question of writing a few lines. There is a lot of process that goes behind it." For a moment, he was tempted to explain the entire Software Development Lifecycle but restrained himself to a single statement. "It is complex, very complex."

"It has to be. No wonder you people are so highly paid," came the reply.

This was not turning out as Vivek had thought. A hint of belligerence came into his so far affable, persuasive tone.

"Everyone just sees the money. No one sees the amount of hard work we have to put in.Indians have such a narrow concept of hard work. Just because we sit in an air-conditioned office does not mean our brows do not sweat. You exercise the muscle; we exercise the mind and believe me that is no less taxing."

He had the man where he wanted him and it was time to drive home the point.

"Let me give you an example. Take this train. The entire railway reservation system is computerized. You can book a train ticket between any two stations from any of the hundreds of computerized booking centres across the country. Thousands of transactions accessing a single database, at a time concurrency; data integrity, locking, data security. Do you understand
the complexity in designing and coding such a system?"

The man was stuck with amazement, like a child at a planetarium. This was something big and beyond his imagination. "You design and code such things."

"I used to," Vivek paused for effect, "But now I am the Project Manager,"

"Oh!" sighed the man, as if the storm had passed over, "so your life is easy now."

It was like being told the fire was better than the frying pan. The man had to be given a feel of the heat.

"Oh come on, does life ever get easy as you go up the ladder. Responsibility only brings more work. Design and coding! That is the easier part. Now I do not do it, but I am responsible for it and believe me, that is far more stressful. My job is to get the work done in time and with the highest quality. To tell you about the pressures, there is the customer
at one end always changing his requirements, the user wanting something else and your boss always expecting you to have finished it yesterday."

Vivek paused in his diatribe, his belligerence fading with self-realisation. What he had said, was not merely the outburst of a wronged man, it was the truth. And one need not get angry while defending the truth. "My friend," he concluded triumphantly, "you don't know what it is to be in the line of fire."

The man sat back in his chair, his eyes closed as if in realization. When he spoke after sometime, it was with a calm certainty that surprised Vivek.

"I know sir, I know what it is to be in the line of fire," He was staring blankly as if no passenger, no train existed, just a vast expanse of time.

"There were 30 of us when we were ordered to capture Point 4875 in the cover of the night. The enemy was firing from the top. There was no knowing where the next bullet was going to come from and for whom. In the morning when we finally hoisted the tricolour at the top only 4 of us were alive."

"You are a..."

"I am Subedar Sushant from the 13 J&K Rifles on duty at Peak 4875 in Kargil. They tell me I have completed my term and can opt for a land assignment. But tell me sir, can one give up duty just because it makes life easier. On the dawn of that capture, one of my colleagues lay injured in the snow, open to enemy fire while we were hiding behind a bunker. It was my job to go and fetch that soldier to safety."
"But my captain refused me permission and went ahead himself. He said that the first pledge he had taken as a Gentleman Cadet was to put the safety and welfare of the nation foremost followed by the safety and welfare of the men he commanded."
"His own personal safety came last, always and every time. He was killed as he shielded that soldier into the bunker. Every morning now, as I stand guard I can see him taking all those bullets, which were actually meant for me. I know sir, I know what it is to be in the line of fire."

Vivek looked at him in disbelief not sure of his reply. Abruptly he switched off the laptop. It seemed trivial, even insulting to edit a word document in the presence of a man for whom valour and duty was a daily part of life; a valour and sense of duty which he had so far attributed only to epical heroes.

The train slowed down as it pulled into the station and Subedar Sushant picked up his bags to alight.

"It was nice meeting you sir."

Vivek fumbled with the handshake. This hand had climbed mountains, pressed the trigger, and hoisted the tricolour. Suddenly as if by impulse,he stood at attention and his right hand went up in an impromptu salute. It was the least he felt he could do for the country.

PS: The incident he narrates during the capture of Peak 4875 is a true-life incident during the Kargil war. Capt. Batra sacrificed his life while trying to save one of the men he commanded, as victory was within sight. For this and his various other acts of bravery he was awarded the Param Vir Chakra the nation's highest military award.

Live humbly, there are great people around us, let us learn!

Winners are too busy to be sad, too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful and too determined to be defeated!

2006-10-10T23:54:00.000+05:30

I will always be there for you,
and I hope you will be there for me too,
for our friendship can never be broken,
I will remain loyal through all the good and the bad,
and in the end we will be glad,
because without you I am nothing,
as you are nothing without me,
we fill the space a lover couldn't fill,
for we hold each others secrets that we would never spill,
and the day you're gone, part of me goes too,
because I wouldn't want to be here with out you,
Best friends forever you and me,
nothing could ever change that; it's destiny!

Lage Raho Munnabhai ....

2006-09-04T20:50:00.000+05:30

Watched this movie .. Lage raho munnabahi ... one of the greatest movies ever seen ... made on such a difficult and sensative topic, extremely brilliant screen play, a movie where you laugh like anything but still passes a very strong message.

That one should always speak truth.
Speaking lie is very easy, but speaking truth takes lots of guts
Many times people don't like hearing truth ... which is a fact aslo. The reason for those are also because we all like to hear good and nice things. I dont understand why are people so afraid to state the truth.

I have experianced many times people not liking when I say truth on their face, but I don't understand why ? Why are you so afarid to face yrself ? Why are people so afraid to say things which they fell so strongly about ? Why do people delay things/ decisions ? I know for sure that if i delay making a choice right not in a problem, or delay a problem it will come back to me more strongly next time. Right now i may get away with this quite lightly but that may not be the case for the long term.

Kher not deviating for the topic I will say a gr8 movie to watch, enjoy it a lot and try to follow as much as you can from it in your life and become a better person. Right now it gives a nice feeling with Bollywood comming with movies for a reason which respect equality of people, respects indian culture ...

The Fateh Sagar Lake Overflow in Night

Quite a big lesson in this little story

2006-08-26T02:47:00.000+05:30

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

"What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the lamb and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The lamb sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the lamb.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

REMEMBER: EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON. One of the best things to hold onto in this world, beside God is a friend.

The raw, crude and happy Kshitij Hinger ...

2006-08-18T12:59:00.000+05:30

It’s been really long since I have written anything ... lately been thinking a lot ... friends will say when the hell was I not thinking :) Today will write about my thoughts about the way I live my life, money and satisfaction in life.

People call me crude and raw, I didn't used to like that some time ago, but now i am happy with being raw ... because I know where needed I can be equally professional ... and I am raw because I don’t like to waste my money. Its been hard earned. I don’t want a lifestyle of branded things or eating out in expensive places. I think that is a waste of money. Now that doesn’t means that I am not fine eating there on regular purpose, its okay to do that once a while but never no a regular basis. Perhaps I can see that because i have been broke in my life and it was me and only me who on himself got over from there. May be that was a phase which changed me and gave me a new direction in my life.

being raw gives me a confidence which very few people posses ... I am never worried about my work, rather than they driving me, I drive them ... yes people do find it uncomfortable of that many times, but I think there is no harm in being like that and what’s great about is that it makes me not afraid of any damm thing, any person ... I guess this is something which only can be felt ...

I am motivated to something only till the time I like doing that ... and I have that discipline in my life that I can literally stop something the day I want it ... I never get addicted, people may feel I am ... but the day I realize I don’t want to do it and than its like the last day ...

People like to know what drives me, I will say its different things at times ... I know I can do a lot many things, but will only do those which I want too ... and people many times find it difficult to understand. I think I have multi-skills and I personally believe that doing something which you like is great ... is ausum ... cause there you get satisfaction ... I guess satisfaction is something which all people want have. Many of my friends think I like to show off ... I would say they are wrong, I want a sea facing penthouse because I want to live in that, I want to feel that fresh breeze every day ... I like to get wet and dance in rains... if its crude so what I will still keep doing that ... cause these are the things which give me lot of satisfaction ... and enjoyment ...one can say "atma trupt hoti hai" meaning the soul gets satisfied....

Yes I like to live my heart ... cause I think that is fun ... and i am happy with that ... I am outspoken ... but I am satisfied with it because it has its own shares of happiness and sadness ... pro's and con's ... I say things which should be told and can be harsh at times ... I don’t like to cause anyone any pain, trouble anyone, scare anyone ... but I like to ensure that in that process they don't end up using me. Yes I do let people use me and I think that's the biggest shortcoming I have ... I am unable to say NO to people even if I really want it and I know people knowingly and unknowingly use that quality of mine.

Yesterday I came across a discussion where a collogue of mine said I check profitability of every day in my life … I never did that but I that is an excellent suggestion because that that will mean that I will be satisfied every day and I think there is nothing better than that 

I forgive people but I never forget.... I recon it’s enough for today ... and I am really happy to be raw and crude ... because I think I am raw and crude because I know how to carry myself around well with anyone and I guess after that it doesn’t matters. I am able to build good level of trusts with people and that is only because I never get back from my word and if anyone wants to make me do that ... that is something which I will always regret ... people would be thinking why has this been posted here ... but I am sure not many will be able to understand it cause it been a conversation with myself!!!!!!!!! and a decision has be taken ...

Kshitij, your connection type is The In-depth Conversationalist

Kshitij, your connection type is The In-depth Conversationalist

Whether it's 4 in the morning or 4 in the afternoon, you're probably the friend people call when they need someone to talk to. "Lean on me" might as well be your theme song. You're a great confidante and advisor who's especially good at listening to your pals when something's on their mind. Just make sure they're willing to do the same for you!

Marathon phone calls don't tire you out! You've been working on your endurance for years. Whether talking about the major events in your life, spelling out every detail of your last vacation, or giving the all important blow-by-blow of your last date, you've got stories to share with the loved ones in your life! And if that afterthought occurs just after you hang up? No worries. You're not ashamed to call back for a quick update. Sure, your friends might tease you about your flair for drama and attention to detail. But they always know that when they need you, you're just a phone call away.

Kshitij, you're a Muse!

2006-07-28T03:01:00.000+05:30

Kshitij, you're a Muse!

Known for your creative powers, you Muses are the poets and musicians of life, the patrons of the fine arts. It's funny, though — even with your inspirational prowess, you're probably not the type to boast about your guitar-strumming skills, or your latest published book of verse.

While it's great when people flock to you for ideas, there probably is a part of you that prefers to blend in sometimes — whether dressing in muted shades or staking out a one-on-one conversation at parties and social events. But try as you might not to hog the spotlight, others can't help but notice you. Must be hard to be such a goddess!

Despite any lingering modesty, you might be surprised at how much your mere presence can help improve the lives of those around you by infusing them with ideas and good thoughts. With that kind of healing energy, your inspirational ways have the potential to change the world, Muse. Whether you're scribbling sonnets, boogying with your friends, or drawing your own constellations — you're tapped in. So keep your eyes wide open to the possibilities and let that inspiration flow!

Life is Beautifull !!!

2006-05-16T00:33:00.000+05:30

Came across a blog which made me think ... not think ... just nod and than i thought i should also write something ... the topic which was touched there was about purity of friendship, not the topic but the way i will take it ... friendship is funny and more funnier is when one compares that with love. I dont understand why people make so much hue and cry about friends, do they because are they jelous ... being always asked a question about my friends, i have always told yes i have friends, and they are just friends, but why the hell do people dont belive it. And its further bad when even your friends are one who question you ... But i think i have atleast understood now that it does not matters, cause i know i am saying the truth, if you dont want to listen and repect the truth then bye bye Mr/Miss.

To me love is a very pure form of friendship, you can say a perfect friendship ... perhaps i am asking for too much ... but i think its about being true to yourself and thats what matters in the end. Friendship is about accepting the other person as he or she is, but there are compromises also, a very simple compormise which we many a times ignore is "when you go out with a group of your friends for a dinner, now all people have there likes and dislikes and you never became friends because of those likes, but still you manage to order something which is accetable to all" isint that a compormise, people will just try to ignore that, its a compormise, but it is ... but when you do a smilar think when for a friend who is of opposite sex, there is so much hue and cry. Man is a social animal, and does in society means always to make comments on people, why do people have to make comments rather than watch themselves, perhaps when they learn that they will go much ahead. started it thinking will write something else, but yehe mind bada he ajeeb hai, wrote complains ... i recon ...

But i know what i will do ... follow Gandhi Ji's advice "Do such behavior to all, as you want them to do to yourself" Perhaps a collection of words which if all people in this world follow there would be no fights, and all people would be so happy.

Whats yr True color ?

2006-04-30T17:30:00.000+05:30

Your true color is Black!

What's Your True Color?

Brought to you by Tickle

Kshitij, your true color is Black!

Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

Dear Kshitij,
Here is your horoscope
for Friday, April 14:

Sometimes the most significant changes start from the most seemingly insignificant events. It's a good time to pay attention to your intentions as well as your actions. Life-altering events are in the making.

hahahahahahahahhahaha ... life altering sure it is :D
chalo aaj ke liye itna he ... comments awaited.

Koi Aap Sa (Contd.)

2006-04-05T22:46:00.000+05:30

hmmm ... a friend of mine after reading my post "koi aap sa" gave me a summary that "i want people to understand me, and they dont understand me or take me for what i am"

perhaps he is party true in that... people do misunderstand me and perhaps that is the reason when i do some things they come out to be shocked, perhaps a blessing in disguise :) But comming back to topic ... there was none anways ... hehehe ... the bigger reason is i think we learn from life, "Life is also a teacher, who takes examination first and than teaches the lesson" Perhaps i have been through many many examinations and from them have learned them a lot, perhaps as i have been alone facing those examinations and that has developed my thinking a lot, may be given some lines on one should and may be because i dont want to hurt anyone and that includes me i have generated the values and morals for friendship ... yes now these things could be very idealistic, but i belive a mahatma ghandi saying "Do to others, what you want for yrself" and i think i just try my level best to do my part and hope for the result, sometimes it comes and sometimes it may not come but well farak kya padtha hai, when you get back than perhaps you are the most happy person, because in today's world getting something which u want is perhaps the biggest thing which one can have and its a dream to have a life the way you want it, even 50% the way you want it, and i have learned that results never come in a day or two, it takes time for your efforts to yield and one should wait for that, its worth waiting for that ... there was a time when i was very unhappy in my life but as that time i never deviated from my values and so perhaps now i am happy, though a few of my friends will life to contradict me on that, but kher thats me ...

why does this questions always troubling me ... why am i writing ... perhaps these days i am writing because that makes it easier for me to talk with myself, and ya a question asked to me "u are not afraid of anyone knowing this" and according to me answer is ... those anybodies wont be able to make out a word from this and perhaps few my friends wont understand some part of it, its something on which it would be very difficult to comment on ... because it is simply my life and how can one comment on that ... hehehehe ... but i will still like to read the comments ...

makes me wonder how much abstractly i can think on anything ... so kuch aur likha jaye kya aaj ? perhaps a few questions will help me write more :) do give

Love,
Kshitij

Koi Aap Sa

2006-04-02T23:28:00.000+05:30

Love … Friendship basically Relationships …

There goes a saying that “ek ladka and ladki dost nahi ho sakte” and well I think it’s perhaps correct and perhaps wrong also .. I think it becomes true in the case when two friends are very close otherwise general type friends mai to aisa kuch nahi hota hai mere hisab se. kher why this topic well was seeing the moving “Koi Aap Sa” for the second time, nothing to do in cuttak and uska TV premier aa raha tha, and me always been a fan of romantic comedies, people may think I am a sentimental fool but I really like the movie, what I liked was there beauty in defining what is love ? What is friendship ? and a very true saying also “A friend in need is a friend indeed” apke acche mai to harr jana aap ka dost hota hai, and the people who are there when you are down are your real friends and such people are very tough to find. Because we never tell when we are down, it has to be made out and I guess that only very few people can do.

Kher as always deviating from the topic, meri to khaisayat hai wo akhir :D, so kya kehe raha tha mai, khud he bhul gaya … ya about the movie … well a very cute movie and which makes you think about your friendship with your friends and the relationships we are into … and I think its very difficult always for other people to realize what type of relationship are we with the other person, even our closest of your friends are not able to realize that, makes me wonder than why are they there If they cant get me as we define friends by those who know me … and perhaps one more reason why these things happen is because we are so afraid to express, we are afraid to express thinking what will the other person will think, I will lose him or her, but in actual not saying we actually lose them.

Bolna apne aap mai ek bahut badi chej hai, and perhaps very difficult too, cause its how interpreted, and that is a function of mood, mindset, person, everything … u never know where to draw the lines, what to say, what not to say, where to stop, and don’t we all fight for very very silly reasons and but the beauty of friendship is there when one person is getting angry, other should not become senti, become hurt as the person who is angry dosent knows what he or she is saying and then we tend to hurt the people who matter to us. Those who are our lifelines, and then we drift. I would say I have been lucky in that regard, I can’t hate people, and I let people come and move out of my life, perhaps that hurts me sometimes but that also makes my life beautiful when we are in touch.

I guess we should cherish the moments when we friends were together, we spend quality time right, is it worth to leave that … I don’t think so it is, with life situations change, people changed, all have phases in there lives and it perhaps that makes us think otherwise, warna to you cant loose touch with that person, how can you?

Now I am wondering why am I writing it, reading this makes no sense to me, parr chalo koi nahi thodi non-sense he sahi ;)

But these are the things which can only be felt in life, I am lucky to have experienced all these (From my side only) and I am waiting for some from the other side … lets see where life takes me and all my friends too and all to be friends. This is dedicated to me, my life and lessons which I have learnt in life  I thought why not put these in words and some day laugh about it ;)

hhehehehehehe
the stupid and senti
Kshitij, or Hinger, or .HI, or K, or Horizon … sayad itne he nicks hai  hehehehe

Waise aj lafi likh diya hai main, and I rarely write my posts on my blog perhaps a change gonna happen now, its gonna become kshitijhinger rather than kshitijhinger’s collection in time to come … don’t know which people would like …

Random Thoughts in my Mind ....

2006-04-02T19:57:00.000+05:30

hmmm .. so what am i doing ? likh raha hoon .. likhna to meri adat nahi hai .. so kyoin likh raha hoon, pata nahi, sayad isliye kyoin ke kuch karne ko nahi hai ... pada hua hoon cuttak mai, there is lots of work to do, but aj kuch karne ke feel nahi aa rahi hai, pata nahi kyoin ? but well work is still going on good and at times somethings are not in your hand and you can't do anything about it. Life is going on and its so funny, things happen when you least expect those to happen ... even with having so many close, real close buddies i feel at times so alone, so lonley .. ajkal chirkutgiri full form mai chal rahi hai ... making many new friends from there but the question is what am i looking for ? sometime i wonder why do i need more friends, itne sare to hai and unse he touch mai rahena at times becomes problamatic ... but i guess jindgi aise he chalti hai ... isi ka namm jindgi hai :)

dekhte hai whats in store for me for tommorow, i guess now will utilize my time to plan tommorow's work day, that is also very necessary na ... parr still don't feel like ... i guess need to take a small break from work ... parr break le ke bhi kya karunga ? will sleep aur kya ... masti karne ke iccha to bahut hai, but aisa koi sath nahi hai, and perhaps thats what i am missing. i need something in my life ... a spark to get me rolling ... waise i doubt anyone would be thinking i am not rolling ... credentials he aise chal rahe hai fortunately or unfortunately ...

want to find internal happiness somehow, searching for that ... sayad khud ko aur explore karna padega uske liye ya sayad kamm karna padega ... samaz nahi ata hai, but well have been always taking my decisons on my own so will do that again ... cause i am the best :)

so mr kshitij hinger, best thing for you is to start writing and getting your thought process sorted out cause thats the only way you can do ...

and well readers, you wont be able to make out what i mean in here ... cause its just whats going right now in my mind and what developed while writing this.

kabhi lagta tha ke mai likh nahi sakta, but now i know its not like that, just need a drive for that ... sayad khud se batt karne ke next state is writing or perhaps i need that now cause ab mai buddha ho raha hoon ... hehehehehe, bechare brain pe maine waise he kafi load diya hua hai ... chalo dinner order kiya jaye, sala koi acchi movie bhi nahi aa rahi hai TV mai :( kitne din ho gaye movies dekhe hue muzhe, soch raha hoon now this sunday back to back 2-3 movies nipta he dallon ... that will get me back on track ... yes thats what i need, i need some FUN ...

dekho how much writing can help :) solution nikal gaya ;)

waoooooooooooooo jst saw .. even my fortune says so .. hehehehehe

Time is short. The music won't last.

You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast.

When u speed so fast to get somewhere

You miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and get through your day

Its like an unopened gift... thrown away.

Life is not a race. Do take it slower

Hear the music before the song is over.

Don't Change the World . .

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows' skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.

Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet ?"

The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a "shoe" for himself.

There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story : to make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; and not the world . . .

isint it so true ... We should stop complaining and find solutions to make ours and life of ppl who matter to us happy :)

This life is yours

2005-11-03T23:07:00.000+05:30

Take the power to choose what you want to do

and do it well.

Take the power to love what you want in life

and love it honestly.

Take the power to walk in forest

and be a part of nature.

Take the power to control your own life.

No one else can do it for you.

Take the power to make your life happy.

This life is yours.

If you think u can, then you can ....

2005-11-02T17:27:00.000+05:30

If you think you are beaten, You are
If you think you dare not, You don't
If you'd like to win, But you think you can't,
It's almost sure you won't !
If you think you'll lose, You've lost,
For out in the world you find sucess begins with the will,
Its all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, You are,
You've got to think hight to rise.
You've got to think of yourself
Before you can win the prize !
If you don't try the race is lost, Before even a step is run
Think big and your deeds will grow,
Think small and you will fall behind,
Think that you can and you will,
It's all in the state of mind !

Life's battels don't always go to stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later the man who wins,
Is the one who thinks he can !!!

What I Wouldn't Do . .

What I Wouldn't Do . .

What I wouldn't do
Just to hear you say
I love you

What I wouldn't do
Just to hear you say
I want to be with you

What I wouldn't do
Just to hear you say
No one else will ever do

What I wouldn't do
Just to hear you say
I can't live without you

What I wouldn't do
Just to hear you say
There's nothing you wouldn't do

What I wouldn't do
Just to hear you say
Just one of these, someday . . .

Gandhi Jayanti Today !!!

2005-10-02T17:45:00.000+05:30

02.10.05 today ... another Gandhi Jayanti goes by, what do we learn from it, a man who got us freedom in a way which no one else could had done, been awarded so many awards but do we indians recognize the true Gandhi ... perhaps one of the most respected philosophies in the world right now ... a simple priclipal "Live and Let Live" live for yr family, yr friends, yr country ... live simply, dont waste ... so simple things and if followed can do wonders ... I am no gandhian, but i read "Freedom at Midnight" and pretty remarkable how one man made sure that there was no blood shed in bengal during partition ... even the british leaders were surprized how come there whole force was not able to stop blood shed in punjab whereas a one man was keeping Bengal quite which was supposed to be very very vercetile state ...

truly called father of nation .... deserved to be called that ... bow to the great man and i hope we all in the world understand what he really said and do that for the happiness of the world ... the world now no longer is a single country ... it might be now but business and needs of people make it a global country ... spread the message of love and hope for love to come back to you ... it might take time but it will ...

The Rainbow . . .

I See The Sun
Rising On The Sphere
It Pleases My Heart
I Wish U Could Be Near

When I See The Sunset
I Rest Down For A While
At The Ending Of Each Day,
I Think Of You And I Smile

And When Night Shadows Fall,
The Stars Light Our Way.
It Makes Me Think Of You,
Your Words, Whatever You Say

After Every Storm,
I See A Rainbow In The Sky
It Smoothens My Soul
Like A Gentle Lullaby.

It's Through Your Eyes,
I See The World, I See Everywhere.
And It's At Each Rainbow's End,
I Know I'll Find You There . .

Dedicated to all my closest friends, I miss u all and i hate it being here alone but you all are always inside me :)

Opportunity and Life !!!

2005-10-02T17:29:00.000+05:30

Opportunity ... I came across a nice story (below) ... aint opportunity something which entirely depends on the person ... I will say opportunity lies all around us but we dont want to put efforts to reach to them ... I would say go for every opportunity, in start u may feel its not for you, this will get me there and blah blah !!! which u dont want ... but u never know ... "A footballer will miss 100% shots which he did not took" so if u dont take opportunity than dont blabber as you have no right to do that ... A footlballer makes an opportunity by taking the Shot ... arent many of us afraid to take shots, too worried about the outcome ... GO FOR THE SHOT AND YOU WILL HAVE WHAT YOU WANT, IF YOU DONT TAKE THE SHOT THEN YOU HAVE LOST THE CHANCE OF WINNING ...

Opportunity is always there in your life, just depends on your attitude that you see it or not and grab it or not .

written why ? i am asking question :p hehehehehe, comments awaited.

Never miss first opportunity . .

A young man wished to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission. The farmer looked him over and said, "Son, go stand out in that field. I'm going to release three bulls, one at a time. If you can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, you can marry my daughter."

The young man stood in the pasture awaiting the first bull. The barn door opened and out ran the biggest, meanest-looking bull he had ever seen. He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass through the pasture out the back gate. The barn door opened again. Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so big and fierce in his life.

It stood pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as it eyed him. Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice than this one. He ran to the fence and let the bull pass through the pasture, out the back gate.

The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was the weakest, scrawniest little bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull. As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and jumped at just the exact moment. He grabbed... but the bull had no tail!

Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take advantage of, some will be difficult. But once we let them pass (often in hopes of something better), those opportunities may never again be available. So always grab the first opportunity . . .

The best kind of Friendship is the kind you
can sit on porch and swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best conversation
you have ever had ...

what u say ?

2005-09-24T15:54:00.000+05:30

You Are 60% Boyish and 40% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle

- a total eunuch.

Okay, kidding about the eunuch part.

But you do get along with both sexes.

You reject traditional gender roles.

However, you don't actively fight them.

You're just you.

You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

Walk with me my dear friend

2005-09-13T22:26:00.000+05:30

Walk with me my dear friend. .

My Friend please walk with me hand in hand.
Lets watch the sun shine down and kick up all the sand.
Lets watch the waves roll in and in.
Lets sit there and think of how much we have been though.
No matter if its bad or good..
Lets think in the peacefulness.
Feeling the spray of water spring all about on our faces.
Tell me how your day has been and what you plan to do.
Tell me how your life is going so i can have the best picture of every moment.
Surrounded in my mind will be thoughts of only happiness.
All of which will be of us growing, knowing each other more and more.
Since you are my friend I want to know what makes you cry
I want to know what makes you happy,
I want to know every thing that makes you feel like sparks are gonna fly.
When a boy touches your hand or runs his fingers though your hair,
Does anything they do give you a feeling so true..?
You don't have to tell me everything,
And even if you don't.
I'll still have that picture,
Drawn perfectly in my mind.
Of the most wonderful loving friend,
In all the world i could ever be able to find . . .

aha !!! my 50th post on my blog ;) To all of you by friends. Thanks for being there for me :) Love u all !!!

Take care my friend
becoz i cant help thinking
how lonely it is without you
and how nice it would be to have you here..

But most of all..
Take care.
becoz you matter to me . .

Balance in Life, Relationships ....

2005-09-11T18:43:00.000+05:30

A 91-year-old woman died after living a very long dignified life. When she met God, she asked Him something that had really bothered her for a very long time. "If Man was created in God's image, and if all men are created equal, why do people treat each other so badly?"

God replied that each person who enters our life has a unique lesson to teach us. It is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people and our relationships with God. This confused the woman, so God began to explain:

"When someone lies to you, it teaches you that things are not always what they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know what is in their hearts. Remove your own masks to let people know who you really are.

When someone steals from you it teaches you that nothing is forever. Always appreciate what you have. You never know when you might lose it. Never take your friends or family for granted, because today and sometimes only this very moment is the only guarantee you may have.

When someone inflicts injury upon you, it teaches you that the human state is a very fragile one. Protect and take care of your body as best as you can, it's the one thing that you are sure to have forever.

When someone mocks you, it teaches you that no two people are alike. When you encounter people who are different from you, do not judge them by how they look or act, instead base it on the contents of what is in their hearts.

When someone breaks your heart, it teaches you that loving someone does not always mean that the person will love you back. But don't turn your back on love, because when you find the right person, the joy that one person brings you will make up for all of your past hurts. Times a thousand fold.

When someone holds a grudge against you, it teaches you that everyone makes mistakes. When you are wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do is forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those who have hurt us is often the most difficult and painful of life's experiences, but it is also the most courageous thing a person can do.

When a loved one is unfaithful to you, it teaches you that resisting temptation is Man's greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance against all temptations. By doing so, you will be rewarded with an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by which you were tempted.

When someone cheats you, it teaches you that greed is the root of all evil. Aspire to make your dreams come true, no matter how lofty they may be. Do not feel guilty about your success, but never let an obsession with achieving your goals lead you to engage in malevolent activities.

When someone ridicules you, it teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject someone for imperfections over which they have no control."

Upon hearing the Lord's wisdom, the old woman became concerned that there are no lessons to be learned from man's good deeds. God replied that Man's capacity to love is the greatest gift he has. At the root of kindness and love, and each act of love also teaches us a lesson. The woman's curiosity deepened.God, once again began to explain:

"When someone loves us, it teaches us love, kindness, charity, honesty, humility, forgiveness, acceptance, and all of these can counteract all the evil in the world. For every good deed, there is one evil deed. Man alone has the power to control the balance between good and evil, but because the lessons of love are not taught often enough, the power is too often abused.

When you enter someone's life, whether by plan, chance or coincidence, consider what your lesson will be. Will you teach love or a harsh lesson of reality? When you die, will your life have resulted in more loving or more hurting? More comfort or more pain? More joy or more sadness? Each one of us has the power over the balance of the love in the world. Use it wisely!"

Don't miss an opportunity to nudge the world's scale in the right direction!

And well also be yrself always and keep learning from everything, as everything happening around u has a reason, its for your eyes only to see it and act on it. Enjoy:)

Unexpressed Love . . .

2005-09-11T00:45:00.000+05:30

Unexpressed Love. . .

I feel like left aloneAmidst of all the knowing faces
Knowing that you won’t stand beside me hereafter

Sweetest melodies wouldn’t make me entertained
Coz’ I know I’m gonna miss your enchanting voice

I feel my heart about to freeze
Right under the blazing sun
Knowing that I’m gonna miss the warmth of your heart

I feel so helpless & missing
Even in the company of my friends
Coz’ I know I’m gonna miss your loving care

I felt like shattered to pieces
On the day that you said
Someone else has stolen your heart

But how could I ever blame you
Coz’ I never let you know that
I do care a lot and keep thinking of you . . .

Don't ask me . . .

2005-09-11T00:41:00.000+05:30

Don't ask me . . .

I'm not begging you to love me.
I'm not really even asking you.
But, isn't it alright
If I cherish that hope in my heart..
If I dream of just holding your hand,
It will hurt me - not you.
I will try to keep my eyes from shining
When they see you.And I promise
I will try not to smile a special smile
When you say hello.but, please
Don't ask me
Not to love you . . .

I had a dream in my mind . .

I had a dream in my mind,
It was a dream not meant to see
I felt a whisper in my lips,
It was a whisper not meant to say
I kept a promise to my self,
It was a promise not meant to break

I felt a beat in my heart,
It was a beat not meant to feel
Let me dream you in to my mind,
It is the dram I want to see
Let me whisper love to your life,
It is the words I want to say
Let me promise never to apart,
It is the promise never meant to break
Let me feel your love in my heart,
It will stay for eternity . . .

Why are helpfull people lonley most ?

2005-09-02T22:39:00.000+05:30

The people who help around and who are being there for there friends most of the times they find themselves to be lonley most.

Why is the world like that ? when u are there for your friends when they need you ? Why does it happens that when u really need someone nearby u dont find one ? Is there something wrong in helping around ?

I have seen so many instances in my life, have seen in a few of my relatives lives, the people who used to help most also get all the blame from this world ... Those are the ones who are called as "bura" meaning "bad people" or people who are disrupting.

I am so much confused that is caring wrong ? is helping wrong ? are you not entiteled for some love or some care when u need ? why do u have to at times go and tell your friends that u need them ? why cannot they realize that on there own ? why do u have to remind them that u need them ? and why do they feel that they are doing a favor to there friend ?

Why are people who have good intention, who help, who want that no one suffers are lonley most ? why why why ?

why does that happens ... I guess lot of questions ... but i think from today on i would start writing my own ...

and to my friends ... i don't want you to call me ... I just dont want that .. I just want you to put yr comments right here in the COMMENT BOX .. as i am not going to hear anything nor discuss this over phone to anyone ... Yes i can also me adamanent ... and i have had enough of one sideded ness.

And if u think u never told that because u thought its too small thing to tell ... then i will say IT MATTERS so please say ...

You may not be here with me ...

But thoughts of you are

Always in my heart ...

Love is not something that happens at first sight ...

2005-08-30T12:03:00.000+05:30

Love is not something that
happens on first sight,
it happens when u start
knowing each other and
in turn end up needing each other,
for every feeling,
for every thought and for every
moment ...

It is case for me ...
I can only hope and
wish its same for you ...

Dear Friend . . .

2005-08-30T11:59:00.000+05:30

Dear Friend . . .

We might not meet,
we might not chat,
but we would still be friends,
you better don't forget that..

Times would go passing by,
changes would come with you and I,
our lives destiny would shape,
as with time progress we make.

Distance would take us away miles & miles,
we might not even see each others smiles.
We might not help each other;
but still let not,our friendship wither..

Remember the moments which we share..
no matter, now you are where
you would then miss me
but in your memories I will be..

The magic of friendship would call me
and I would miss you then
thinking..
together we would be when . .

I just can wish ...
and Hope ...
Love ...

Eight Gifts that Do Not Cost A Cent . .

2005-08-24T18:48:00.000+05:30

Eight Gifts that Do Not Cost A Cent . .

1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING . . But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.

2) THE GIFT OF AFFECTION . . Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds.Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.

3) THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER . . Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."

4) THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE . . It can be a simple "Thanks for the help" note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.

5) THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT . . A simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "You did a super job" or "That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.

6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR . . Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

7) THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE . . There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.

8) THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION . . The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone, really it's not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us . .

Is it love ..? Will it be for ever . .

2005-08-18T20:50:00.000+05:30

Is it love ..? Will it be for ever . .

Her sight does make me confident
Her presence does make me nervous
is it love ..? Will it be for ever..?

Her day does make my dreams
Her nights do make me lonelyBut,
is it love..? Will it be for ever..?

Other flowers do attract me
Other birds do inspire my poemsYet,
is it love..? Will it be for ever..?

Waves do rise wonderfully high
but my castle is yet dryYet
is it love..? Will it be for ever..?

Should I wait, until one day
something in me would answer
"Yes, this is love & it will be for ever"

But will the wait be too long
until someday I would realize
the loss was love & it would have been FOREVER . .

The courage to let you know
What my feelings are -
I'm so afraid to show
You're the one for me
But soonI'll let you see . . .

and i will wait ...

Tree, Leaf, Wind & Love . . .

2005-05-05T02:29:00.000+05:30

Tree, Leaf, Wind & Love . . .

People call me "Tree".

I had dated 5 girls when I was in Pre-U. There is one girl who I love a
lot but never dared to go after. She didn't have a pretty face, good
figure or an outstanding charm. She was just a very ordinary girl. I
liked her. I really liked her. I liked her innocence, her frankness, her
intelligence and her fragility. Reason for not going after her was that
I felt somebody so ordinary like her was not a good match for me. I was
also afraid that after we were together all the feelings would vanish. I
was also afraid other's gossip would hurt her.

I felt that if she were my girl, she'd be mine ultimately & I didn't
have to give up everything just for her. The last reason, made her
accompanying me for 3 years. She watched me chase other girls, and I
have made her heart cry for 3 years.

She was a good actor, and me a demanding director. When I kissed my
second girlfriend, she bumped into us. She was embarrassed but smiled &
said, "Go on!" before running off. The next day, her eyes were swollen
like a walnut. I did not want to know what caused her to cry. Later that
day, I returned from soccer training to get something & watched her cry
in the classroom for an hour or so. My fourth girlfriend did not like
her. There was once when both of them quarreled. I know that based on
her character she is not the type that will start the quarrel. However,
I still sided my girlfriend. I shouted at her & ignored her feelings and
walked off with my girlfriend. The next day, she was laughing & joking
with me like nothing happened. I know she was hurt but she did not know
deep down inside I was hurt too.

When I broke up with my fifth girlfriend, I asked her out. Later that
day, I told her I had something to tell her. I told her about my break
up. Coincidentally, she has something to tell me too, about her getting
together..
I knew who the person was. His pursuit for her had been the talk of the
School. I did not show her my heartache, just smiles & best wishes. Once
I reached home, I could not breathe. Tears rolled & I broke down. How
many times have I seen her cry for the man who did not acknowledge her
presence?

During graduation, I read a SMS in my mobile. It said, "Leaf's departure is
because of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay"

Leaf..

People call me Leaf..

During the 3 years of Pre-U, I was on very close terms with a guy as
buddy kind. However, when he had his first girlfriend, I learnt a
feeling I never should have learnt - Jealousy. Sourness to the extreme
limit. They were only together for 2 months. When they broke up, I hide
my happiness. But after a month, he got together with another girl.

I liked him & I know he liked me. But why won't he pursue me? Since he
loves me why he didn't he make the first move? Whenever he had a new
girlfriend, my heart would hurt. After some time, I began to suspect
that this was one-sided love. If he didn't like me, why did he treat me
so well? It's beyond what you will normally do for a friend. I know his
likes, his habits. But his feelings towards me I can never figure out.
You can't expect me a girl, to ask him.
Despite that, I still wanted to be by his side. Care for him, accompany
him, and love him. Hoping that one day, he will come to love me. Because
of this, I waited for him. Sometimes, I wondered if I should continue
waiting. The pain, the dilemma accompanied me for 3 years.

At the end of my 3rd year, a junior pursues me. Everyday he pursues me.
He's like the cool & gentle wind, trying to blow off a leaf from a tree.
In the end, I realized that I wanted to give this wind a small footing
in my heart.
I know the wind will bring the leaf to a better land. Finally, leaf left
the tree, but the tree only smiled & didn't ask me to stay.

Leaf's departure is because of Wind's pursuit. Or cause Tree didn't ask
her to stay..

Wind..
People call me Wind..

Because I like a girl called leaf. Because she's so dependent on tree,
so I have to be a gust wind. A wind that will blow her away. When I
first met her, it was 1 month after I was transferred to this new
school. I saw a petite person looking at my seniors & me playing
soccer. During ECA time, she will always be sitting there. Be it alone
or with her friends, looking at him.
When he talks with girls, there's jealousy in her eyes. When he looked
at her, there's a smile in her eyes. Looking at her became my habit.
Just like, she likes to look at him.

One day, she didn't appear. I felt something missing. I can't explain
the feeling except it's a kind of uneasiness. The senior was also not
there as well. I went to their classroom, hid outside and saw my senior
scolding her.
Tears were in her eyes while he left. The next day, I saw her at her
usual place, looking at him. I walked over and smiled to her. Took out a
note & gave to her. She was surprised. She looked at me, smiled &
accepts the note.
The next day, she appeared & passes me a note and left.

It read, "Leaf's heart is too heavy and wind couldn't blow her away.."

"It's not that leaf heart is too heavy. It because leaf never want to
leave tree." I replied her note with this statement and slowly she
started to talk to me & accept my presents & phone calls. I know that
the person she loves is not me. But I have this perseverance that one
day I will make her like me.
Within 4 months, I have declared my love for her no less than 20 times.
Every time, she will divert away from the topic. But I never give up. If
I decide I want her to be mine, I will definitely use all means to win
her over. I can't remember how many times I have declared my love to
her. Although I know, she will try to divert but I still bear a small
ray of hope.

Hoping that she will agree to be my girlfriend. I didn't hear any reply
from her over the phone. I asked, "What are you doing? How come you
didn't want to reply?" She said, "I'm nodding my head". "Ah?" I could
n't believe my ears.
"I'm nodding my head" She replied loudly. I hang up the phone, quickly
changed and took a taxi and rush to her place & press her doorbell.
During the moment when she opens the door, I hugged her tightly.

Leaf departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask
herto stay...

Moral..

In love, we win very rarely, but when love is true, even if you lose,
you still win just for having the tingle of loving someone more than you
love yourself.

There comes a time when we stop loving someone, not because that person
has stopped loving us but because we have found out that, they'd be
happier if we let go..

Why do we close our eyes when we sleep? When we cry? When we imagine?
When we kiss?

This is because THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN THE WORLD ARE UNSEEN.

There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want
to leave behind, but keep in mind that letting go isn't the end of the
world. It's the beginning of a new life. Happiness lies for those who cry those
who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried. For only
they can appreciate the importance of the people who have touched our
lives.

A great love? It's when you shed tears and still you care for them, it's
when they ignore you and still you long for them. It's when they begin
to love another and yet you smile and say, "I'm happy for you." If love
fails, set yourself free, let your heart spread its wings and fly again.
Remember you may find love and lose it, but when love dies, you never
have to die with it.

The strongest people are not those who always win but those who stand
back up when they fall. Somehow, along the course of life, you learn
about yourself and realize that there should never be regrets, only a
lifelong appreciation of the choices you've made.

Loving is not how you forget but how you forgive, not how you listen but
how you understand, not what you see but how you feel, and not how you
let go but how you hold on.

It's more dangerous to weep inwardly rather than outwardly. Outward
tears can be wiped away while secret tears scar forever..

It's best to wait for the one you want than settle for one that's
available. It's best to wait for the right one because life is too short to waste
on just someone . .

Unseen . . .

2005-04-29T06:36:00.000+05:30

Unseen . . .

It tears my heart in two
not being able to tell you how I feel
when you are with me,
and the love I feel, which you can't see.

As I sit across the table from you,
Breathing the aura of your life,
Who would have known of a love so strong
That would surpass the eternity of this life..

Knowing I could never touch you, hold you,;And love you the way I want to,
I still smile sad tears that fall
Slowly down my heart.A
s you walk away from the love,
You never knew to look for the soul mate
I could have been to you..

I linger a while and watch you pass me by.
I realize you would never love me,
And I watch my heart break down and die.
My soul mate it is you..
if only you knew . . .

And Forgive Me . .

2005-04-22T08:27:00.000+05:30

And Forgive Me . .

You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.

You forgive me for missing you so,
And I'll forgive you for being so cold.

You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I'll forgive you for not hearing it.

You forgive me for playing your games,
And I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.

You forgive me for finding you so attractive,
And I'll forgive you for not noticing.

You forgive me for raising you up so high,
And I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.

You forgive me for wanting to be with you,
And I'll forgive you for avoiding me.

You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.

You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I'll forgive you for never having latched on.

You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I'll forgive you for crushing them . . .

Aint this so much true ... dont we all sometimes feel like that ... i don't know about others but i have felt this way many a times ... somtimes one simply understands the things .. even when they are unsaid ... Love u my Friends :)

Never go on appearance

Never go on appearance

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He then handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.

Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and had willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped onto the inside back cover of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

This one is so much touching :) and i guess this can happen simply with any one, Take care Friends - Kshitij

Never Abandon Your Loved Ones . . .

Never Abandon Your Loved Ones . . .

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tear open the wall.

Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.

What happened..?

The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years!?!! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind boggling. Then he wondered, how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step - since its feet was nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what has it been doing and what has it been eating? Later, don't know from where appears another lizard, with food in its mouth... AHHH! He was stunned and touched deeply. For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years..

Such a love, such a beautiful love!! Such love happened even on this tiny creature... What can love do? It can do wonders!! Love can do miracles!!

Imagine it has been doing it for a tired some 10 yrs, without giving up hope on its partner.

Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with the brilliant mind can't.

As the technology advances, our access to information become faster and faster. But the distance between human beings, was it getting closer as well?

NEVER ABANDON YOUR LOVED ONES. Share this story with everyone that has
touched your life and make you grow and understand and feel more about your \r\nlife. Share it with everyone!

May everyone be loved... a quote from Cae Hiew: "Love makes your heart young again and magically erase all your wrinkles." So, start loving . .

We Have Today . . . Live it .......

2004-12-31T02:49:00.000+05:30

We Have Today . . .

Sometimes I think when I'm alone how life can change so fast,
We realize so many times that nothing ever lasts.
When we are young it seems as if the world will never change,
The world just keeps on spinning and our lives don't rearrange.

When I was just a teenager my whole life was ahead,
Having fun and living life with nothing yet to dread.
Yes, I had some problems but I never dwelt on sorrow,
I knew then that everything would work out by tomorrow.

Then I reached my twenties and I felt that I was grown,
I could handle anything in my direction thrown.
I had my life ahead of me and nothing in my way,
I was so enjoying life in work and also play.

Then I reached my thirties and my outlook changed again,
Now the world was not so carefree as it once had been.
New responsibilities became a part of life,
Caring for a family now my children and my wife.

Then a new horizon loomed as I reached middle age,
I then paid more attention to the headlines on the page.
I was so much more aware of worldly news events,
Middle age awakened me to such a broader sense.

The carefree life I knew was gone of being worry free,
Suddenly it seems that all events affected me.
Worry of a world gone mad and worries of myself,
Worries of a stable life and worries of my health.

Worries of the future and just what it all will be,
Worries of the ones I love that mean so much to me.
Worry will not help a thing it only hinders health,
But it seems as I get older I can't help myself.

So as I sit and watch the world that has raced by so fast,
I crave to have that carefree youth that I had in my past.
As the years pile up on me they stop me in my tracks,
Making me just realize what this old world still lacks.

It lacks the love of life we had when we were young and free,
It lacks the human kindness that we once knew it to be.
So in this world of chaos as we struggle to maintain,
With so many worries it could drive us all insane.

Stop to smell the flowers and don't dwell on negative,
Take each day as it comes by and don't forget to live.
For if we live in fear and worry thinking of the sorrow,
We will miss the day we have by thinking of tomorrow . . .

A Successful Relationship . . .

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and fascinated by its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words..

QUESTIONS:

1. What were the four words?
2. What is the implication of this story?

Scroll down to read..

ANSWER: The husband just said "I Love You Darling" The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in findingfault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not happen. No one to be blamed. She had lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiving attitude, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

"A successful relationship requires falling in love many times with the same person . . . "

well this simply was wondefull and superb ... i hope u like it :)

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. Hewas astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit hisback, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off andtake a step up.As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of theanimal, he would shake it off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyonewas amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well andhappily trotted off!Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.

A Very Good Lesson in Life

2004-10-03T17:04:00.000+05:30

Jerry is the manager of a restaurant. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would always reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs when he changed jobs, so they could follow him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude.

He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don't get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"

Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood. I always choose to be in a good mood.

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it.

"But it's not always that easy," I protested.

"Yes, it is," Jerry said "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood. It's your choice how you live your life."

Several years later, I heard that Jerry left the back door of his restaurant open one morning, and was robbed by three armed men.

While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him.

Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.

When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Want to see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,"

Jerry replied. "Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or choose to die. I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared?" I asked. Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the Emergency Room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything."

'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'."

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day you have the choice to either enjoy your life or to hate it.
The only thing that is truly yours that no one can control or take from you - is your attitude, so if you can take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier.

Smile !!!

2004-09-12T14:28:00.000+05:30

You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling, too.
I thought about that smile
Then I realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine
Could travel round the earth.
I passed around the corner
And someone saw my grin
When he smiled I realized
I'd passed it on to him.
So, if you feel a smile begin,
Don't leave it undetected
Let's start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected!

Perfection is a misconception

2004-07-22T21:44:00.000+05:30

A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck.. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house." The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house"

Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. Blessings to all my crackpot friends.

As I've Matured.

2004-07-22T21:17:00.000+05:30

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in...
I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jackasses. I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.
I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. I've learned that it is not what you wear; it is how you take it off.
I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished.
I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things.
I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity. I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it.
I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.
I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it
I've learned that there is a fine line between genius and insanity.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. And the real pains in the ass are permanent.

The Road to Sucess ........................

2004-07-15T15:33:00.000+05:30

The road to success is not straight.
There is a curve called Failure,
a loop called Confusion,
speed bumps called Friends,
red lights called Enemies,
caution lights called Family.

You will have flats called Jobs.
But, if you have a spare called Determination,
an engine called Perseverance,
insurance called Faith,
you will make it to a place called Success.

Remember Good Times, Forget the bad ones ....

2004-07-15T14:14:00.000+05:30

Always Have A Dream

Forget about the days when it is cloudy,
But don't forget your hours in the sun.
Forget about the times you've been defeated,
But don't forget the victories you've won.

Forget about the mistakes that you can't change now,
But don't forget the lessons.
Forget about the misfortunes you've encountered,
But don't forget the times your luck has turned.

Forget about the days when you have been lonely,
But don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen.
Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right,
But don't forget to always have a dream.

Feelings ....

2004-07-08T14:23:00.000+05:30

When you find someone you love
It's hard to tell them how you feel,
but even harder to explain it's real.
It hurts so much to hear that person say,
Im wrong to feel this way,
What can I do? What can I say?
To make you understand how I feel about you each and everyday,
Is it that my heart skips a beat everytime you pass or how the
walls around the heart came down with just a glance.
I toss and turn all night in bed,
thoughts of you running through my head
I don't know what to say to prove that it's real
Words cant express the way I feel
Just hold my hand and look into my eyes
If you see tears falling to the floor then you know
It's meant to be,
that I really do love you . . .

It's Okay To Say Goodbye . . .

2004-07-04T08:37:00.000+05:30

It's Okay To Say Goodbye . . .

I can truly understand
if things have gone astray
but please love me enough
to tell me to be on my way

Don't worry about my broken heart
the hurt will mend in time
but thinking I'm a burden
would only be a crime

Maybe the feelings are not the same
or things are getting boring
maybe you want to have some fun
going out and do some exploring

My love, there's nothing you can do
to change the way you feel
I hope you know within my heart
that what we had was real

You were my most precious gift
something I'd cherish forever
the most fantastic friendship
that I'd never want to sever

Be happy for the time we had
of all the good we felt
fate may have other plans
for the cards that we were dealt

I will love you always
in my heart you'll always be
because you were the only one
to see the real me

Thank you, Love, for everything
that sweetness in your voice
for allowing me to be who I am
and for giving me the choice . . .

The Triple Filter Friendship Test . . .

2004-07-02T22:24:00.000+05:30

In ancient Greece, scholar and intellectual, Dr. Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about one of your friend?"

"Hold on a minute," Dr. Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

"Triple filter?" asked the man.

"That's right," Dr. Socrates continued.

"Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and wanted to tell it to you"

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"

"No, on the contrary, it is bad "

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, Because there's one filter left: the filter of usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really." Replied the man.

"Well," concluded Dr. Socrates, if what you want to tell me is neither true, nor good, and nor even useful to me, why tell it to me at all . . .

Smile and Spread Smile !!!

2004-06-28T16:08:00.000+05:30

Smile!

Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized,
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,
then I realized its worth.
A single smile just like mine,
could travel around the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infected!

A Real True Friend

2004-06-27T17:31:00.000+05:30

A Real True Friend

If I could take a minute
To help you understand
I am a better person
Because you are my friend.

And it really doesnt matter
If we're together or apart
For I swept you up into my hands
And placed you in my heart.

And if at any moment
You ever start to doubt
There's a special bond between us
That I can't live without.

You truly are the answers
To many of my prayers
When I told God I needed
Someone who really cares.

Someone to stand beside me
To help comfort and to cope
To remind me that there's always
Some room for one to hope.

You've helped me through some things
That no one could help me through
I never knew what friendship was
Untill i first met you.

And if i had one wish
it would surely be
That God would keep you in my life
Throughout all eternity.

And now I hope you realize
Just how much you mean to me
You are the definition
O what a real, true friend should be

I'll Always Be There

2004-06-27T17:29:00.000+05:30

What would you do if every time you fell in love with someone you had to say good-bye?

What would you do if every time you wanted someone they would never be there?

What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness?

What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt?

So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life.

I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you.

Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you.

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will.

Remember, everyone needs a friend, someday you might feel like you have NO FRIENDS at all, just remember this e-mail and take comfort in knowing somebody out there cares about you and always will.

I'll Always Be There

In times of trouble,
In times of need,
If you are feeling SAD,
You can count on me.

I will give you a wink,
Until you smile,
give you a hug,
And stand by your side.

I'll be there for you till the end,
I'll always and forever, be your friend!

Good Luck Everbody !!!

2004-06-26T00:20:00.000+05:30

As I was walking down life's highway many years ago I came upon a sign that read

Heavens Grocery Store.

When I got a little closer the doors swung open wide
And when I came to myself I was standing inside.
I saw a host of angels. They were standing everywhere
One handed me a basket And said "My child shop with care."

Everything a human needed was in that grocery store
And what you could not carry you could come back for more

First I got some Patience. Love was in that same row.
Further down was Understanding,You need that everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of Wisdom And Faith a bag or two.
And Charity of course I would need some of that too.
I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost It was all over the place.
And then some Strength And Courage to help me run this race.

My basket was getting full but I remembered I needed Grace,
And then I chose Salvation for Salvation was for free
I tried to get enough of that to do For you and me.

Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought I had everything To do the Masters will.
As I went up the aisle I saw Prayer and put that in,
For I knew when I stepped outside I would run into sin.
Peace and Joy were plentiful, The last things on the shelf.
Song and Praise were hanging near So I just helped myself.

Then I said to the angel "Now how much do I owe?"
He smiled and said "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again I asked "Really now,How much do I owe?"
"My child" he said, "God paid your bill a long long time ago."

This poem has been sent to you with love and for good luck.
The luck has now come to you and you will receive good luck.
As this message has no price. Do send it on to someone who Needs good luck.
Of course, good luck Is just another way of saying blessings.

Worst then dying ......

2004-06-26T00:15:00.000+05:30

The greatest pain in life is not to die, but to be ignored.
To lose the person you love so much to another who doesn't care at all.
To have someone you care so about so much throw a party...and not tell you about it.
When your favorite person on earth neglects to invite you to his graduation.
To have people think that you don't care.
The greatest pain in life, is not to die, but to be forgotten.
To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.
To never get a call from a friend, just saying "hi".
When you show someone your innermost thoughts and they laugh in your face.
For friends to always be too busy to console you when you need someone to lift your spirits.
When it seems like the only person who cares about you, is you.
Life is full of pain, but does it ever get better?
Will people ever care about each other, and make time for those who are in need?
Each of us has a part to play in this great show we call life.
Each of us has a duty to mankind to tell our friends we love them.
If you do not care about your friends you will not be punished.
You will simply be ignored... forgotten... as you have done to others.

This poem was written by a young girl who committed suicide.Perhaps if the people surrounding her had shown a little more love, and had paid more attention to her, her death could have been prevented.

Remember that when going through life, you can't judge a sad, lonely, or suicidal person by their facial expression. You need to get to know each person you come in contact with, cherish your friendship with them, and show them that you care.

I hope you all know I'm always here for you.

Gone are the Days When .................

2004-06-20T01:20:00.000+05:30

Gone are the days when we used to talk for hours with our friends.
Now we don't have time to say a HI.

Gone are the days when we played games on the road.
Now we code on the road with laptop.

Gone are the days when we stood to watch birds.
Now we see and hear them in mpeg files.

Gone are the days when we saw stars shining at night.
Now we see stars when our code doesn't work.

Gone are the days when we sat to chat with friends on grounds.
Now we chat in chat rooms.....

Gone are the days where we studied just to pass.
Now we study to save our job

Gone are the days where we had no money in our pockets and fun filled on our hearts
Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart

Gone are the days where we shouted on the road.
Now we dont shout even at home

Gone are the days where we got lectures from all.
Now we give lectures to all... like the one I'm doing now....

Sunshine and Rain

2004-06-17T09:41:00.000+05:30

No Life is useless and no day is vain,
For God has a purpose for sunshine and rain

All are discouraged and everyone cries
But we're never alone beneath cloudy skies,

All hearts can break... they're fragile as glass
But God will mend them, and this too shall pass.

Sometimes we succeed, and sometimes we fail
So follow your dream whatever the trail,

For no one's a loser, who gives it his best,
And you can stand tall above all the rest.

Those who are faithful are noble at heart,
And no life is useless when God has a part.

Be swift to give praises and slow to complain....
God has a purpose for sunshine and rain.

Remember .... "Love is Eternal" ..........

2004-06-16T18:02:00.000+05:30

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love. One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, love decided it was time to leave.

She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?" Richness answered, "I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere." Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please." "I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat." Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you." Sadness answered,"Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now." Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, "Happiness, please take me with you." But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him.

Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder. Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?" "It was
Time", Knowledge answered. "But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

The Facts of Life:

1. At least 5 people in this world, love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you, in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you, is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you, can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. Without you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique, in your own way.
9. Someone that you don't know even exists, loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned it's back on you, take a look, you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance at getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, you probably sooner or later will get it.
13. Always remember complements you received, forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them, you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Send this letter to as many people as you care about, you'll brighten up someone's day, and might change their perspective on life, for the better!

I wish i knew who those five + fifteen people .. are .. i think my family ...

10 th Grade
As I sat there in English class,
I stared at the girl next to me.
She was my so called 'best friend'.
I stared at her long, silky hair,
and wished she was mine.
But she didn't notice me like that,
and I knew it. After class,
she walked up to me and asked me for
the notes she had missed the day before.
I handed them to her.

She said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I don’t want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.

11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end,
it was her. She was in tears,
mumbling on and on about how her
love had broke her heart.
She asked me to come over because
she didn't want to be alone, So I did.
As I sat next to her on the sofa,
I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine.
After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie,
and three bags of chips, she decided to go home.
She looked at me, said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss
on the cheek..
I want to tell her, I want her to know that
I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don’t know why.

Senior year
One fine day she walked to my locker.
"My date is sick" she said, "hes not gonna go" well,
I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade,
we made a promise that if neither of us had dates,
we would go together just as 'best friends'.
So we did. That night, after everything was over,
I was standing at her front door step.
I stared at her as She smiled at me
and stared at me with her crystal eyes.
Then she said- "I had the best time, thanks!"
and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her,
I want her to know
that I don’t want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.

Graduation.

A day passed, then a week, then a month.
Before I could blink, it was graduation day.
I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel
up on stage to get her diploma.
I wanted her to be mine-but
she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it.
Before everyone went home,
she came to me in her smock and hat,
and cried as I hugged her.
Then she lifted her head from my shoulder
and said- 'you're my best friend, thanks' and
gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I don’t want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.

Marriage.
Now I sit in the pews of the church.
That girl is getting married now.
and drive off to her new life,
married to another man.
I wanted her to be mine,
but she didn't see me like that,
and I knew it.
But before she drove away,
she came to me and said 'you came !'.
She said 'thanks' and kissed me on the cheek.
I want her to know that
I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.

Death.
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin
of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'.
At the service, they read a diary entry
she had wrote in her high school years.
This is what it read:
"I stare at him wishing he was mine;
but he doesn't notice me like that,
and I know it. I want to tell him,
I want him to know that
I don't want to be just friends,
I love him but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.
I wish he would tell me he loved me !
.........'I wish I did too...'
I thought to my self, and I cried.

Spread your Heart .... it makes world more beautifull ... remember it can bring smile to someone ... and making someone smile is one of the tougest

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he
had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and
they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw
in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever
seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful
heart.

Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your
heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked
at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had
places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't
fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places
there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing. The people stared --
how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they thought?

The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You
must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and
yours is a mess of scars and tears." "Yes," said the old man, "yours is perfect
looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a
person to whom I have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give
it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the
empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough
edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't
returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges -- giving love
is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open,
reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they
may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true
beauty is?"

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up
to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped
a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands. The old man
took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old
scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but
not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked at his
heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the
old man's heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by side.

Please let everyone know each day how much they mean to you, as they may be
gone tomorrow.

That is the kind of love I want in my life . . . "Or don't we all"

Please leave yr comments :) a great story ... telling what is true love :)

It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly
gentleman, in his 80's, presented to have sutures (stitches)
removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he
had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him
take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone
would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and
decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate
his wound.

On exam it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got
the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation.
I asked him if he had a doctor's appointment this morning, as he
was in such a hurry.

The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home
to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired as to her health.
He told me that she had been there for awhile and that she was a
victim of Alzheimer Disease. As we talked, and I finished dressing
his wound, I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late.
He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not
recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him. "And you still going every morning,
even though she doesn't know who you are..?"
He smiled as he patted my hand and said..

"She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is . . ."

I had to hold back tears as he left. I had goose bumps on my arm,
and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."
True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an
acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be . . .

To Unseen Friends

2004-06-12T02:33:00.000+05:30

We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens.
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze,
Looking for something or someone, as we with in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name.
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt.
In PM's we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships - but - how, we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

Why is it on screen that we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that has never been told.
Why is it we share the thought in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must,
So we turn to the 'putter, and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends without Faces, and odd little names . . .

Don't Stop yourself How u feel .... else u may regret it later ...

Around the corner I have

a friend,

In this great city

that has no end,

Yet the days go by

and weeks rush on,

And before I know

it, a year is gone.

And I never see my

old friends face,

For life is a swift

and terrible race,

He knows I like him

just as well,

As in the days when

I rang his bell.

And he rang mine if,

we were younger then,

And now we are busy,

tired men.

Tired of playing a

foolish game,

Tired of trying to

make a name.

"Tomorrow" I say! "I

will call on Jim"

"Just to show that

I'm thinking of him."

But tomorrow comes

and tomorrow goes,

And distance between

us grows and grows.

Around the corner!

yet miles away,

"Here's a telegram

sir" "Jim died today."

And that's what we

get and deserve in the

end.

Around the corner, a

vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean.

If you love

someone, tell them.

Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and

tell someone what they mean to you. Because when

you decide that it

is the right time it might be too late.

Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most

importantly, stay

close to your friends and family, for they have

helped make you

the person that you are today.

Listin to your Hearts

Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier, as he saw his lifelong
friend fall in battle. The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out
to bring his fallen comrade back. "You can go., said the Lieutenant, "but
I don't think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you
may throw your life away.. The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the
soldier went anyway. Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted
him onto his shoulder and brought him back to their company's trench. The
officer checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend.
"I told you it wouldn't be worth it,. he said. "Your friend is dead and
you are mortally wounded.. "It was worth it, Sir,. said the soldier. "What
do you mean by worth it?. responded the Lieutenant, "Your friend is dead..
"Yes Sir., the soldier answered, "but it was worth it because when I got
to him, he was still alive and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say,
"Jim... I knew you'd come..

Many times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not, really depends
on how you look at it. Take up all your courage and do something your
heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in
your life.
