The Dance Of Life..!


There were two hearts who met in a dance.That moment was magical. There was a sweet song. Playing, there was harmony and soon love in the air.They fell in love and they started building castles in their dreams and promised forever with all certainty.


But, somewhere in the midst of the fun, they got lost in the dance something went wrong but they can never do anything. They were just drifting away, their fortress apart. There were so many questions but no one had an answer. The music stopped and there was silence....



When we truly love someone,we give our best and let the person see the pureness of our intentions. But sometimes that person makes us cry and hurt us for the wrong reasons.That someone must have loved us, but he has not loved us enough to make him stand for what he truly felt. Now we are faced with the seemingly impossible task of forgetting. We have burdened ourselves long enough but we still cant get out of this emotional trap. Let us remember that the more we try to forget someone we love, the more we try to forget someone we love, the more painful letting go will become. Sometimes we never had to take that person out of our hearts at all, for He will always be there no matter how hard we try to drive him away. It isnt his presence that makes it difficult. It is our stubborness to accept our destiny that aligns forgetting next to impossible. We keep a cold face but deep in our hearts there is still that lingering hope for reconciliation. Somehow we still believe that we can rekindle small embers and relight the fire that once burned in our hearts.These thoughts give us hope but it also breeds the seeds of loneliness and despair.


The only way to forget is to accept and the only way to move on is to look ahead and let the footprints of the past be blown by the wind of time. Only then can our hearts find a partner in the 'Dance Of Life' and hopefully never get lost again......

Beautiful Dawn..!

There is nothing more healing than the expectation of a
Beautiful Day..!

Have a Beautiful Day...!

Can U Forgive...?


Can forgiveness make you happy?
Yes it can..Building on the foundation of love, you can begin to forgive others by accessing your compassion, which is the ability to feel empathy for others and act toward them in a non-judgmental way.Forgiveness occurs naturally when you view others through the lens of love and compassion.Forgiveness is really about releasing yourself from the burden of holding onto the conflicts or pain caused by somone.

whenever I forgave someone I could see the present moment in front of me, rather than the pain of the past. I feel a lightness in my step as burdens are lifted from my shoulders. Forgiveness clears the path of obstacles to happiness, and I can't help feeling joy in the process.I've found that happiness is in the eye and heart of the beholder.

Inspite of all these some people miss out on using the power of forgiveness..Because they fail to realise, pain or anger will only harm them than benifit them. It burdens your heart heavily restrict you to feel joy or peace...How sad......????

Missing.....!

When I cant find your presence around me..
Dont know what will happen to my days...
'Smile' from my visage remains at bay..

Imperfections..!


Very often we see that in life how hard we try or how much planning and preparation we do, something will not turn out the way we wanted it to be. Yet even when those inevitable disappointments do indeed come, you can adapt and make the very most of them.
Life is not perfect and yet it can be perfectly wonderful. It’s great to aim for perfection, and even better to achieve excellence in spite of the imperfections you encounter. When people and situations refuse to co-operate, you can be amazingly adaptable. You can move toward excellence even in the most distressing, imperfect scenarios.

Though what you have is not perfect, you can work with it. Accept what you have, imperfections and all, with gratitude and enthusiasm. Don’t spend your time waiting for the perfect situation, something which is not very likely to come at times.

Accept 'Imperfection' is part of your life and go ahead with life as it is, with the bumps and the pitfalls, and give your best to every moment to make it most perfect.

Have a 'Imperfectly Perfect' day..!!!

Genorosity Of A Flower..!

“Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them”

Nothing Is Eternal...!


You never loose anything, specially 'THINGS'...
'PEOPLE, they go away, sooner or LATER...
You can't hold on to them FOREVER...
Like you can't hold the MOONLIGHT...
But if they've touched YOU....
If they're inside of YOU..
Then they're still YOURS...!!!

Set Boundary..!

Life often resembles bleak, never ending treadmill. Mechanically it moves from morning to evening then to fall exhausted into a trance-like sleep, only to awaken next morning to the menacing prospect of repeating the pattern.

Meanwhile we do need to handle most difficult situtaions.Among them some people seems to be so impossible that they are enough to create life miserable..No matter what we do when dealing with negative people or how many techniques we use in dealing with them, it seems we often end up having to set boundaries. In relationships, not only do we have to spend time together and cultivate closeness. But we also have to create distance too.


This is where boundaries come in. If someone is going negative on you a lot, chances are good that you're spending too much time together or that person has too high of expectations from you. What's needed is more space, at least emotionally.

I had a relative that would call me on the phone a lot and the conversation always ended up being negative. She'd gossip about other family members and criticize them. I always felt gloomy afterwards. So I started cutting the call duration by saying some excuses. BUut I'd call her once in a while, so as to not offend her, Sure enough, the phone calls decreased. Now we communicate mostly by email and it's so much more positive, both for her and for me.

This is a way to gently set boundaries. In some situations you might need to be more extreme. Especially if the person is hyper-critical of your goals or things you care about most deeply. But don't hesitate to back away from these people and instead fill your life with people who support you and have a possitive influvence on you. So set boundaries in your relationship on time if needed which will help you to navigate the various relationships and interactions in your daily life.

Good luck..!!

Amazing Rock...!!


This is a picture of a rock formation near a lake in Burma .. The photo can only be taken on a specific day once a year when the sun rays touch the rocks at a certain angle.

To see the speciality of this rock...Just tilt your head to the left side and then look at it again. Got amazed...??

Say It Now....!

If you want to extend a helping hand, or say a kind word, Then you shouldn’t wait. It might get too late. If you have a kind word to say, say it now If you have something to give, give it now, If you can make someone glad do it now... or make some other less sad, do it now…

Happened to read an article which strengthen this thought once again..





The incidence goes this way..Agnihotri & Tara lived in Tanzania for few months as a part of project work. Tara got the opportunity to interact with few locals.In Tanzania many locals worked as maids in the Asian homes specially Indians and even learnt how to prepare Indian delicacies depending on who they stayed with. A Tanzanian can even make puran poli or idli sambhar perfectly.

Jamma, a frail-looking Tanzanian, worked with Agnihotri family. A very simple lady, she had a serene look on her face all the time. She lit up the place whenever she smiled. She did her work efficiently and never complained about anything. Often, Tara noticed that she wore the same outfit that hung loosely on her bony structure and several times, though Tara thought of giving her some of my kurtas which she could tailor into a skirt, but somehow that never happened.

The last time she saw Jamma was when she went out in the rain. She remembered looking at her and wondering what it was like to go out in the rain without a covering and worn-out footwear. A few days later, she learned that Jamma was sick and hospitalised. She thought of going across to see her, but somehow this visit didn’t materialise, or maybe he just didn’t make that extra effort to do so.


It was Tara's birthday a few days later and she was in a foul mood as she didn’t get the ‘Tanzanite ring’ that she expected from her husband. When Agnihotri came home for lunch, tara still expected him to bring out the box containing the ring. Instead, he said quietly, “Jamma expired today.” All she could say was, “What!” Till today, we don’t know the cause of her death… was it malnutrition, depression or a terrible disease? Did Jamma know she was sick and maybe even dying? These questions still rings in Tara ears and left with enough guilt.

That was the the time I realised all about the importance of time. She had been given a chance to share something with Jamma and lost it forever. I also realised that there is much more to life than being involved with our own little worlds. There are people all around us who have nothing in life and yet expect nothing.

Time never waits for anyone or anything...act quickly before it is too late to even repend..

'Woman'.....Through an eye of a man..!!

I wonder what it's like to be "That Woman."
The woman who walks in the room
and demands everyone's attention.
The woman with the dark eyes
full of mystery and magic
that draws curiosity in adam since eve born
and make men yearn to know the secrets hidden within.

The woman with the cascading raven hair
have powers to evoke imagination to be a poet
The woman whose vision lingers in dreams
and whose voice echoes softly amidst whispers.
The woman with fingers tender enough
to caress the most delicate of mists
The woman who lingers on the edge of darkness
while clinging to the shadows of moonlight.

See Sea....!!


Sit in reverie and watch the changing colour of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind...What a way of relaxing !!!...


Life...A Canvas !!

Life isn't just full of happiness, there is love, there are sunset, there are tears. It's the thoughts of yesterday's refreshing memories, that can wash away all our fears. Sometime it's that very painful experience, that each one of us has had. It's the laughter that fills the air, It's the tears when you are sad. It's loving that someone special, that at one time made you smile. It's the pain of losing that person, but the memories that make it worthwhile. It's that child in every one of us, although in time we'll all be old. It's the good times we'll never forget, it's the memories we'll always hold. It's the hug that we all need, when we'd rather drown in our sorrow. It's the hope in every one of us, that makes us hold on for tomorrow..

Attitude..!

In many ways, we all human beings are alike. However, one little difference almost always makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude.

William James, over a century ago, said, "The greatest discovery of this generation is that a human being can alter their life by altering their 'Attitude'. How true it is...

What most people fail to realize is that your attitude not only impacts your happiness and your success, it also can impact the happiness and success of all the people around you...your family, your friends, and your peers at work. Attitudes truly are contagious, and from time to time we need to ask ourselves...

"Is mine worth catching?"

There is no way to overstate the importance of a positive attitude in your life. However, no one can underestimate the difficulty in maintaining it. It's not easy, and it's a very personal thing, but it can be done if you have 'Will'..


Change your attitude and transform your life..!!


Sunset..!!

Each 'SUNSET' is different..
You can still see a piece..
A piece of something..
Something never to return..!!

Soul Mate..!


Having a 'Soul Mate' such a wonderful thought.....!!! we all must have been secretly longing for a soul mate in our life. And we keep on searching that in our relationships . But as we understood your soul mate need not be your husband or lover — a past life relation, a distant pen friend or an old crush may hold the key to your soul, here it discovers thru few example of incidents.
RAGINI folds the creased letter and glances into an auburn skyline. A poignant pause ensues. “The letter's from Adam Hill… he’s my soul mate,” she rushes to finish, catching her breath to add, “I don’t know if you’ll understand.” In the complex maze of urban humanity, a 30-yearold, married software geek is claiming a cosmic connection with an Australian mountaineer she’d met as a young woman of 20 on an exchange programme. “He’s much older and was engaged to his present wife when we met. On the night of our farewell, an Australian friend introduced us. Something unspoken transpired as we talked for the rest of the night,” says Ragini.

Ragini’s story is distinct as she remains physically distanced from her ‘soul mate’, “happily married” as she claims. “A lot of people are curious about my sexual equation with Adam. He completes me, he’s my twin soul and I feel closest to him,” she adds. Tarot card expert Sunita Menon explains, “We like to romanticise the concept of a soul mate as only one’s spouse or lover. But the soul has seven multiple births and you can share more than one soul mate in a lifetime. It could be anyone with whom you share a deep bonding, bordering on telepathy.”

Author Kunal Basu, whose poignant tale The Japanese Wife, explores the intimacy between a Bengali school teacher (Snehamoy) and a Japanese woman (Miyage) through love letters believes, “Twin souls have their own communication, even if others find it difficult to comprehend.” Menon narrates another surreal saga. “One of my clients loved a woman from another community with whom he couldn’t get married due to family pressure. Years later, he bumped into his ex at an airport and there was an instant spark. His wife, tired of his perfunctory attitude towards their marriage suddenly agreed to a divorce as he ended up with his ex,” says Menon. “It’s the playing out of a karmic connection. Sometimes, recognising your soul mate takes a fleeting second. At others, it may take years and numerous complications,” adds fellow tarot card reader Poonam Sethi.

Thirty-four-year-old oncologist Dr Krishna Reddy recalls how as a 23-yearold intern at a Coimbatore hospital he’d developed a ‘surreal intimacy’ with his first patient — an 18-year-old cancer patient Malati. “The pain of being unable to save her lasted till I resorted to past life regression which revealed that in my second life I was a woman whose daughter was brutally murdered. Every birth thereafter, I’d met her in some form as she came to me craving to be saved,” avers Dr Reddy.

Dr Yogesh Choudhary, director, Indian Institute of Hypnotherapy explains, “Twin souls are fragments of the same soul who inhabit two different bodies and encounter similar life experiences in diverse environments till they merge, before retiring to the spiritual realm.”

Be it a hurried brush past a stranger at a cafe, a sustained friendship, a heady love escapade or the pathos of a loved one lost — the soul continues to find its path back. Touching lives and living beings along its journey. From time to timelessness. Towards its mate — the keeper of its conscience.

So I wish all readers and friends who would able to find their soul mate in this journey of life...Good Luck!!

Keep Life Simple....Else....!!!!

We all see that gadgets are conquering the market everywhere like never before. New improvised gadgets are hitting the market on daily basis and people are crazy to buy them at any cost. Because many blindly believe that material things can give them happiness so they chase to possess them. Apart from that it has become the style statement of luxury living.

How many gadgets modern technology has blessed us with! Yet, they only seem to add to the stress and tension of our lives. I have seen young men and women walk down parks and green lanes with earphones completely shutting out the world of beauty around them.When our life becomes complicated with power and possessions, we move farther and farther away from the simple joys and pleasures of life.

I have seen young men and women walk down parks and green lanes with earphones completely shutting out the world of beauty around them.When our life becomes complicated with power and possessions, we move farther and farther away from the simple joys and pleasures of life.


In actual we are blessed with lots of freely available simple joys of life around us.But we hardly experience any of them,like the freshness of a brand new day, the beauty of a sunrise, the glamour of a full moon night amidst blinking stars, birds singing, the pleasure of seeing dew drops on flowers/landscapes, smile on a kid's face, the playfullness of a pet, and how many more..

These days everyone's life become so fast that we loose the best moments of our life without even realising it.Day by day We drift away from the state of childlike innocence and simple joy, which is our basic nature.Our life is getting more machanical and all are deriving pleasures mostkly from luxurious gadgets than natural simple pleasures of life.


Everyone knows that life is at its best when it keep it simple and stress free. That is the only way one can help to reduce stress and tension. Possessions and acquisitions may seem marvellous and give momentary pleasures.But not being able to get them often makes any miserable which urge us to chase for more. The worst part about wanting material things are, after a while, you do not own them, they own you.

Simplicity is not self-denial. It is a return to those values that matter most in life. It emphasises spontaneity and helps us to rediscover the feeling of wonder and joy that we have lost as adults. Simple things can actually give greater pleasure.

Try To Keep Life Simple And You’ll Be More Happy..!

Whose Wallet Is This...????

A ticket collector in a train found an old worn our wallet in a compartment full of people. He looked inside to find out the name of its owner. There was no clue. All that there was in it was some money and a picture of Lord Krisna. He heltd it up and asked "who does this wallet belong to?"


An old man said."That's my wallet. Sir, please give it to me." The ticket collector said, "you will have to prove that it is yours only then I can hand it over to you." The old man, with a toothless smile, said."It has a picture of Lord Krishna in it."
The ticket collector said, "That's no proof, anyone can have a picture of krishna in his wallet." "What is special about that?" Why is your picture not there in it like most normal people?"

The old man took a deep breath and said, Let me tell you why my picture is not there in it. My father gave me this wallet when I was in school.I used to get small sum of pocket money then.I had kept the pictures of my parents in it.


"when I was a teenager I was greatly enamoured by my good looks. I removed my parent's picture and put in one of my own.I loved to see my own face and my thick black hair. Some years later, I got married. My wife was very beautiful and I loved her a lot.I replaced my picture in my wallet and put one of hers. I spent hours gazing at her pretty face.

"when my first child was born, my life started a new chapter. I shortened my working hours to play with my baby. I went late to work and returtned home early too. Obviously, my baby's picture occupied the prized position in my wallet."

The old man's eyes brimmed with tears as he went on. "My parents passed away many years ago. Last year my wife too left her mortal coil. My son, my only son is too busy with his family. He has no time to look after me.

"All that I had ever held so close to my heart is now far, far away from my reach. NOw I have put this picture of Krishna in my wallet. It is only now that I have realised that HE is the eternal companion. HE will never leave me. Alas ! If only I had realised this before. Had I had loved only LORD all these years, with the same intensity as I loved my family, I would not have been so lonely today!"

The ticket collector quietly gave the wallet to the old man. When the train stopped at the next station, he went to a book stall at the platform and asked the sales man. "do you have any pictures of GOD?" I need a small one to put in my wallet!"

Nothing lasts forever...our true forever companion is ourself only...and the ultimate solace one can have from God only...!!!

You Learn..!!!



After a while you learn the subtle difference, between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that, love doesnt mean eternity and company doesnt mean security. You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. You begin to accept your defeats with the grace of as man not as a grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's grounds is too unceratin for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you have too much so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and that you really do have worth. You learn and learn with every person you meet or mingle, you learn with every friend or lover, You learn with even every goodbyes you do with tears...

Medow Flowers...!!!


Little things seem nothing, but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air. I like to see flowers growing. A heavenly experience to see them and feel them. But...their likeness to life makes me sad. Because they get plucked so I cant help looking at them as things rootless and perishable and cease to please.How sad ??........
