A beautiful quote ...........

When they touched your soul and you cant seem to forget about them, all you can do is live your life knowing they are happy and trying to be happy for them. Isnt that what true love is..as Nicholas Sparks says"...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be

LOST LOVE....

Years have sped by ,time has flown,

To forget you-that is what I had sworn;

To wipe off ur memories from my heart,

To live on,knowing that we are poles apart.

But often on silent,lonely nights,

When the moon is shining bright;

Ur thoughts come stealthily to my mind,

And prod other memories left far behind.

Of times we had,both good and bad,

Of tears we shared and fun we had!!

But what went wrong,I have no clue;

But as long as it lasted,I know it was true.

You have touched my life in many ways,

I try explaining,but just cannot say.

But you have moved on and so must I ;

Must accept the truth,though with a sigh.

Time heals all wounds,but not this one;

The scar remains;the harm is done.

Memories are to be treasured,or so they say ,

That's why you remain in my heart

to this very day also!!!....

All is Well

Don’t you sometimes feel that you could and should be able to live those care free days all again. Those were the times when all one had to do was leave home, bunk college, hangout somewhere and then go back home: not a single concern or bother in the world..
Now there are so many responsibilities that I feel burdened to really take it all
*Sigh*
But is it all to life??
I mean can there be any time when we should get our hair down and behave like kids??
Just forget all responsibility and just let your heart rule the head.And the answer is…..YES!!
Why not??
After all life cant be all that serious can it??
And then no one is going to survive it in any case…so lets enjoy the day to the fullest of our abilities.
When I walk past my old Junior College, i get this feeling of nostalgia: the corridors where we used to hang out, the BCR: Boys Common Room which used to bring solace after an unlikely event of an attended lecture and the whole campus as a whole. In comparison professional college feels like a school, a prison if you want, there are no places to hang out, a bunked lecture needs a year to plan and not to mention those darned assignments which will obviously serve no purpose in life coz they are usually(always) copied. Which brings us to the point of the topic: Should one live half of his/her life in nostalgia or just go wherever life takes one??

A Nice Article about Love -by Swami Vivekananda

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love.
" This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .
For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.
Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring.
" Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....
Life is beautiful, Live it!!!!

Think Outside of the Box

Hi Friends...a great question that encourages us to think differently...creatively...try to get rid of conventional thot processes n be more creative, imaginative...

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? Think before you continue reading...........

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?......... ........

He simply answered:"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.

" Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box"

A small touching story mainly for professionals

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."
SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"
The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. "Are you asleep, son?" He asked. "No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man. "It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.. Here's the Rs.50 you asked for." The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father."Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled."Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied. "Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that Rs.100 worth of your time with someone you love.
