Tittle-Tattle

And sometimes silences are so needed--to remind you that you are really stronger than you think and you can manage perfectly without those that have no time for you. Don't be the one who always goes the extra mile. Give them a chance to miss you.:-)

From The Heart............

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.

You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement.

They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.

There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are.

The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant.

Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face.

In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you.

You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.

You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end.

Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

Friend

A casual smile,a caring word,a joke to brighten up the day,
A phone call,when you are not at your best,a light to lead the way,
An ear to listen,a heart to accept,to care and understand,
The simple way you walk to me,the gentle touch of your hand.
The way we think differently on fun or serious things,
    Yet, with every moment of togetherness,our friendship,has taken to its wings,
   Through days,weeks and even months,we shared a lot 'deep' within..
Guaranteed with trust,care and love,is a great way to begin.
When two people,distinct like us,can meet and almost blend,

I have read your thoughts,felt your heart and am grateful to call you my friend.....

Happy Mothers Day

Belated Happy Mothers Day...

ईश्वर हर जगह हो नहीं सकता था, इसलिए मां भिजवाई,
न मैं गुणी हूं न मैं ज्ञानी, और न इतना जग जाना।
पर इक नन्हे फूल ने खिलकर गोद में मेरी, भेद मुझे ये समझाया,
कि लाख जतन चाहे कर ले वो ईश्वर हो ही नहीं सकता मां जैसा।
एक ठिठुरती सर्द रात में, क्या देखा है कभी किसी ने,
उस ईश्वर को गीले बिस्तर पर सोते।
ये केवल मां हो सकती है..

वो तो पूरी कायनात का जादू लेकर बैठा है,
कोई करिश्मा कर भी दे, तो बात बड़ी इसमें क्या है।
पर मैंने महसूस किया है, मां के छू लेने भर ही से,

कैसा जादू होता है, गहरे से गहरा दुख हो चाहे छूमंतर हो जाता है।
हम बंदों को पता है क्या कि ईश्वर दुख भी देता है?
कर्मो का करके हिसाब वो फिर पीछे ही कुछ देता है।
कहां वो इतने दरियादिल कि, झूठ-मूठ के आंसू से पिघलकर,
जान-भूझकर भी सारा छल, फिर भी ठगाए बच्चों से।
ये केवल मां हो सकती है बस, केवल मां हो सकती है..
कहकर मां को रब जैसा, क्यूं उसके भोलेपन पर प्रश्न करूं?
क्या देखा है कहीं किसी ने उसमें मां-सा भोलापन?
ये तो बस मां हो सकती है,
बस केवल मां हो सकती है..

मां की व्याख्या, केवल मां है, मां का वर्णन केवल मां।
केवल मां ही मां जैसी है। रब नहीं है उस जैसा।

Thought Court

Life has many things to offer .. sometimes we forget to see where they are and how to get them .. look, see, and you will get ..

Thought Court...

Few days back someone was trying t o explain me that its so difficult for any one of us to control our own behavior so how can we even think of controlling anyone else’s. I didn’t quite understand it then…

But just today I realized its so true.. it is so difficult for me to control my own behavior! And hence, its so unfair of me to try and control someone else’s behavior and expecting that person to behave in a particular way. I must learn to control my own brain wave… and I guess everything else will follow!

Thought Of The Day

There's just 2 ways of living your life

1 . As if nothing is a miracle !!
2. As if everything is a miracle !!

I was Alive when India won Cricket World Cup 2011 :)

It's India won the World Cup 2011 by defeating Sri Lanka by six wickets. A wonderful moment for all Indians.
We were right there screaming our lungs out. When Dhoni hit that 6, I almost collapsed in joy. That moment will remain one of the most proud moments in my and most of our life for a long long time to come. Many many years down the line we will tell our grand kids...how history was being created.

I really feel happy that I was there when History was being written. I am intensely aware of the fact that I don't get the technicalities of the game, unlike a true fan. But so what …it was the moment of joy and we celebrated it in our own way.

We went on drive after this glory and got stuck at traffic around 1am midnight…. People on roads..be it boys or gals or families…everyone got crazy..Indian flags everywhere..dhols..dancing..fire crackers..happiness on every face...we were also joined that lovely crowd. How did you celebrate the legendary moment in Indian cricket?

It indeed was a one of the most cherishable moment and will remain forever !! Proud of the Indian Team. This was for Sachin And was for everyone who wanted India to win more than anything else.
This gives immense satisfaction that we are now the real champions.
