Behind Those Beautiful Eyes...!

Her eyes is being created amazingly. You should read about her life. Having those beautiful precious eyes doesn’t mean having a beautiful life.

Sharbat Gula, whose portrait was taken by Steve McCurry in a refugee camp in Peshawar Pakistan.As for Ms Sharbat Gula herself, upon seing every one says..what eyes! The beauty of her, is her, dusty tanned looking face, not groomed, showing the stories of her life, the hardship endured, at sucha young age, living through times when her parents were killed in an invasion, and then leaving her homeland crossing into Pukhtunkhwa, just days before the picture was shot.


During American war on Afganistan...in the shade of an open tent flap, photographer Steve McCurry immortalized the haunted eyes of a 12-year-old refugee in a camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.The girl piercing green eyes, shocked with hints of blue and fear, gave away her story. Soviet helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan.

Is May 11th Mothers Day.....?

Dear readers.... we all are so excited of having that someone special in our life and we often love to share that joy with everyone..But have you ever wondered of sharing the love with your parents especially with the one who give birth to you?...A mother is so precious and so lovely and she is the most beautiful, wonderful women in this world.


I’ve been reading through many blogs and there are many who rather post about their love between boyfriend and girlfriend. Rarely I see people who update their blog about their gorgeous mother. Except on MOTHER’S DAY! It’s saddening that people remember and talk about their mother during that special day which falls on 11th May of each year. But today, let me tell you that Mother’s Day does fall on everyday. No matter how far the distance between your mother and yourself, that does not matter anyway. But she is your heart and she is your life.She is the one who took lots of pain & tribulations to help you grow to a person who can face world with immense confidence. So everyonoe dare to call 'MOTHER' a living god. But do you treasure her love as much as she treasured your loves towards her?

So, kindly sit back and relax and think upon it over and over again for those who have conflicts with their own sweet mother. Giving birth to you is not easy as you grow older. Giving birth to you is like fighting with death just to live to see you grow maturely. To see you hold those high qualifications of certs into your hand. To see you smiling happily with what she has tried so hard in giving you the best. To see you reach for the stars above. But she has never tried praying just to see you cry and feel regret with what you had done to her. Leaving her with full of tears. Making her felt so tired giving birth to you and never give chances in giving her the pleasure all those while you’re seeing her in your life. Until… she is gone to another world…

Readers…lets celeberate every day 'Mother's Day' because she deserves our ove as much she gives us unconditionally..

Our Mother is always with us…. She’s the joy inside our laughter. And she is the pain of every tear drop in our eyes. She is the place you came from, your first home and she is the one who help us to take our first step. She is your first love and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate you. Not time....Not space…Not even death....!

There is only 'One Pretty Child' in the world and 'Every Mother Has It'..!
MAY WE NEVER TAKE OUR MOTHERS FOR GRANTED…!!!

Cheers....!

The word SMILE automatically brings a smile to most of our faces...A smile is ofcourse infectious and surely touches our heart...And we are the only living body who are gifted with such a beautiful expression..

Smiling add more value to one’s face. It completely changes the expression.A sincere smile which should starts from the lips and reaches to the eyes. It happens when a person is happy and satisfied within its heart, that it automatically exudes glow on the face. It speaks worth a thousand words.

Sadly few people have that way of smiling and most of the time we only get to see plastic smiles that adorn lips. Smiling eyes speak a lot. At times we express the pleasantness with just a smiling eye only.

Though we all know the importance of smiling in our life but how many truly realise the need to smile which affects us mentally and socially in a positive way..?


So lets make it to a point to smile whenever possible and help spread the pleasantness among our lives within our fellow beings.. Be it moments of glory or sadness, always put up a smiling face. It might be difficult to do it at times of hurt but remember, if you smile the world smiles with you and if you cry, no one will cry with you. Not a fake but a genuine smile is what touches everyone’s heart. The more you reach out to the world the better your value is worth.

Because, a smile is a smile is a smile....Cheers !!!

Jatinga...Phenomenon..!

Nature's another mystery which is yet to decode...!

As usual while surfing I came across with a nature's strange phenomenon which touched my heart in an unusual way. Thought it may interest many so posting it on my blog..

Jatinga, a beautiful tribal village in the North Cachar Hills district (Assam), is famous for the bizarre phenomenon of annual ritual of migratory "birds committing mass suicide". Unbelievable ? This phenomenon remains a mystery at Jatinga, that has baffled ornithologists for more than a century now.


At the end of monsoon months, mysterious behaviour of birds takes place. During moonless and foggy dark nights between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. the flocks of birds plunging to their deaths by crashing from sky to the ground with no prior warning whatsoever..This phenomenon is not confined to a single species. Tiger Bittern, Black Bittern, Little Egret, Pond Heron, Indian Pitta and Kingfishers all being affected.

Popular Hypothesis :-

The weather conditions make changes in the electro-magnetic characteristics of the Jatinga ridge. The ridge is bounded nearly on all sides by fault planes. This combined with the mineral content of the valley with its high magnetic properties could be responsible for certain geo-physical changes in the atmosphere here. These are enhanced during the monsoon months of September and October when the ground water comes up almost to the ridge top of Jatinga. All these are believed to cause certain unusual changes in the gravitational pull around the region. The cause of it is likely to be disorientation at high altitudes and high speed winds due to the widespread fog characteristic at the time and disturb the physiological rhythm of the local birds and they start behaving abnormally towards the sources of light lit by villagers. Conservation groups and wildlife officials in India have taken steps to prevent this wanton killing of the birds, creating awareness in the illiterate villagers. Since then, the amount of birds killed have decreased by about 40 percent.

However, no single hypothesis comprehensively explains the Jatinga mystery and research still going on to unravel the real cause behind this un-natural phenomenon. Whatever the reason, now Jatinga is one of the hot tourist spot because of this rare happenings..

Life's Tip...!


The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts..
The great art of life is to have as many of them as possible...!


Jai Hind...!!

In our day to day life most of us used to get irritated of even the slightest discomforts which we face and end up complicating and exaggerating about it to our capacity. Our tolerance and patience has gone down to such an extend that unknowingly we make our life more miserable... Many at times what we dont realise is what really is worth a complain.. Here is an article I happened to read recently which touced me deeply and helped to me to see life in a different perspective..So thought I would post it in my blog which may like many as I did..

Vinodh 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.

Vinodh 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 Vinodh, turning around to give the man a look.

He always found it difficult to resist appreciation. The man was young and well built 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."

Vinodh smiled deprecatingly. Naiveness 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 Vinodh had thought. A hint of belligerence crept 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 could see, he had the man where he wanted, 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 concurrently; data integrity, locking, data security. Do you understand the complexity in designing and coding such a system?"

The man was awestuck; quite like a child at a planetarium. This was something big and beyond his imagination. "You design and code such things."

"I used to," Vinodh 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."

This was like the last straw for Vinodh. He retorted, "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 at the other, wanting something else, and your boss, always expecting you to have finished it yesterday."

Vinodh 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 Vinodh.

"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 t 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 soft 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 sahib 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 and brought that injured soldier into the bunker. Every morning thereafter, as we stood guard, I could 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."

Vinodh looked at him in disbelief not sure of how to respond. 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; 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."

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

The incident he narrated during the capture of Peak 4875 is a true 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 various other acts of bravery, he was awarded the Param Vir Chakra, the nation's highest military award.

'Live Humbly' ...There are many great people around us, let us learn that..!!!!

Topic Worth A Debate...!

Do Ghosts exist?..Or do you believe in their existence..? I know, this is quite a weird question to be asked. Was debating with myself, whether to put up this subject on my blog or not. But finally decided to go ahead with it as I always do wonder on this question..



During my childhood after watching some horror movies, I used to get scared by having some bizarre thoughts or remembrance from the movie. Though I try to convince myself saying that, I am not scared of ghosts and I dont believe in their existence.Well, amidst all these my conscious & rational mind says that there is nothing known as ghost or spirit & such things don’t exist at all. On the other hand my same rational mind debates that if we can believe in God then why can’t in Ghost? For such a thought I do have my own logical points, as in this unviverse everything exists in 2 extreme conditions and that's how universe balances each things..like white/black, summer/winter, glad/sad, heaven/hell, god/devil etc..
Now one side of this debate..

I hapened to read/hear that many do believe that there exists Good and Bad spirits..It says there are worlds surrounding us but we can not see them with our naked eye same as we can not see air/micro organism with our eyes..Those who died in accident/murder and left with many unfinished tasks to perform when they were alive became ghosts. Some even says places like Gangotri, Gomukh, and deep interior Himalayas we can even experince the existence of these spirits..

And some scientific revelations..

'GHOSTS' are spirits of people that have been caught between this plane of existence and the next. They are intelligent beings, often capable of interacting with the living. "A ghost is a human being who has passed out of the physical body, usually in a traumatic state and is not aware usually of his/her true condition. We are all spirits encased in a physical body. At the time of passing, our spirit body continues into the next dimension. A ghost, on the other hand, due to trauma, is stuck in our physical world and needs to be released to go on." says veteran ghost hunter Hans Holzer.

'HAUNTINGS' are recordings of an event on an environment, means it is a fragment or portion of an actual event. A traumatic moment in time leaves an indelible impression on the area, 'replaying itself for eternity'. This could be anything from a 'glimpse of the past' - a recreation of some traumatic or emotion-laden event to footsteps up and down a hallway, or laughter is heard echoing in a specific surrounding. What causes these recordings to be made and how and why they are played back is a mystery, says Strange Nation.

Now as conclusion I am not agreeing or disagreeing the existence of Ghosts as there are many phenomenons in this universe which is beyond our understandings and I would like to leave this subject to each of your own beliefs..

'Human Aura'


Today's post is about Human Aura..We all know that our bodies are more complex than we can perceive with our five senses. Basically our body is composed of various particles and waves of energies.

Its discovered that human body have a luminous magnetic energy field that surrounds the body is known as HUMAN AURA. Though this aura extends several feet out from it but people cant see the aura with the naked eye. However, it says that with training anyone can see the glimpses of it.The aura might be explained scientifically as an electromagnetic or a biomagnetic field that extends some distance around our physical being. But whatever it might be, there is strong evidence that an aura exists around each of us and each one's aura is different from one another. Believers say that the colors of the aura can reveal a person's nature and each color of the aura has a precise meaning, indicating a precise emotional state. According to our moods, health, emotional state and spiritual power the colour changes too.

Here is some examples.. Sometimes when we enter into a room we may feel some kind of uncomfortableness. What we are sensing at that moment is the inherit energy that exudes from the room and the energy in other individuals' auras. It may explain why we tend to be drawn to some people and put off by others.We are always surrounded by energy coming from everything, including plants, man-made materials, human beings, animals even from various thoughts .

Four important auras which we have are Etheric Aura, Emotional Aura, Mental Aura, Astral Aura. The nearest to our body is Etheric Aura which is about 2 inches from our body and denotes the physical condition(health) of body. Next is Emotional Aura which is within 2 inches to 4 inches associate with our feelings .Then comes Mental Aura which is between 4 to 8 inches which shows the thought process and comes Astral Aura which is about 8 to 12 inches from physical body shows the spiritual power of each person.

Buddha, Krishna, Jesus and some saints are known to possess powerful personal energy fields with their spirituality and emanating a splendour of glorious light.

Semyon Kirlian, a Russian electronics expert, discovered a technique in the late 1930's that enabled him to photograph the human aura known as Kirlian photography.Here is a Kirlian Photography of fingers showing aura.

'SERENDIPITY'

How many had heard about the word 'Serendipity'..? I am sure many must have heard it before if not definetely must have deal with the complicated word 'Destiny/ Fate/ Coincidence' in our life and used to wonder what it is all about...

But before I get into the nerve of the subject, let me tell you that there is one beautiful romantic movie 'Serendipity' directed by Peter Chelsom & written by Marc Klein. It is about a man and a woman who meet by a stroke of fate, and how fate brings them together finally. So if anyone missed seeing this movie can surely watch the beautiful picturisation of 'Serendipity' on screen.

Now we all know whenever an uncanny moment happens or when something happens that gives us goose pimples we say 'What A Coincidence' ! In other words what we experience the very moment is called a 'Serendipity'.

In our day to day life we happen to experience this so often..like thinking of someone and then soon you get a call/mail from that person or talking about someone and then they show up happens a lot. Doesn't it? Life is an ongoing story and we never know why things are unfolding in the way they do.

Sometimes, we miss a bus/train/flight and keep on cursing . But to our utter shock, we may realize later that we have been escaped a bizarre accident when we missed the trip. On the fateful day of 9/11 many must have escaped the World Trade Centre attack in this way. You can never tell, “why strange things happen. Often things we consider to be terrible plights are blessings in disguise.

We often wonder about serendipity, when things happen so strangely yet so perfectly that it leaves us scratching our heads with the feeling that there is somebody out there pulling the strings? Is it a Coincidence or God's Invisible Intervention or was it really meant to happen? How do you interpret it? What coincidences have influenced in our life so far?

If things happen for a reason then that THING which is meant to happen happens. Especially when it is part of our destiny and appears to us to be merely a coincidence or even as an accident. Whatever path you are on in life and whether you believe in serendipity or not, you will find that in truth, there is much we can't predict. Sure, we can set goals and create our own futures but there will always be instances we have no control over.

Till date does anyone know the future with absolute precision? Is serendipity destiny or just pure coincidence? You decide...but life surely has a wonderful way of making things happen and change your life in a particular way..

Beautiful Abyss..!

For thousands of years, our observations of the beauty of sea were confined to what we can observe from the seashore. But how beautiful sea is from deep down with awesome coral reefs & fishes..Here is a look..!

The coral reefs make the amazing underworld park. Did you know that some fishes make the coral reefs their permanent home and never leave them? Some fishes live in the holes or cracks amongst the coral reef and some fishes hide in them too!

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds on in its net of wonder forever.” - Jacques Cousteau

A Human Mystery...!

'STIGMATA'...One of the most rare human mystery an unresolved religious phenomenon. The word stigmata comes from the Greek term stigma, which means "mark." In Christianity, it is believed that some people develop wounds on each hand & feet just like those received by Jesus when he was crucified. It is believed that these marks are signs from God that the person suffering from them is holy. Some stigmatics feel the pain of wounds with no external marks, these are referred to as 'Invisible Stigmata'. In other cases, stigmata are accompanied by extreme pain. Some stigmatics' wounds do not appear to clot, and stay fresh and uninfected, the blood from the wounds is said, in some cases, to have a pleasant, perfumed odor.

Saint Francis (1182-1226), founder of the Franciscan order of monks, is the first person recorded to have shown stigmata . The feast of the Stigmata of St. Francis is kept on 17 September. An Italian preist, Padre Pio (1887-1968) is one of a famous 'stigmatic'. It is said that Padre Pio bore the perfume smelling wounds for about 50 yrs and surprisingly the wound began healing and all evidence of the wounds disappeared days before he died. On June 16, 2002, Padre Pio is canonized by Pope John Paul and became St.Padre Pio.

There are lots of scepticism on the authencity of stigmatic wounds. Interestingly no case of stigmata is known to have occurred before the thirteenth century, when the crucified Jesus became a standard icon of Christianity in the west. But so far more than 300 people claim to have suffered the stigmata.The bizarre phenomena of the stigmata remain unexplainable any time soon, as those who suffer from it are still few and far between. The stigmata remains one of the strangest and most frightening phenomena noted in the annals of the paranormal.

Why It Is So...?


Sometimes I wonder how different each one's life from one another yet the taste of tear is alike for everyone..Same way how different one person is from the other and yet all are so alike when dealing with similar situations.

"Break-ups" one of the most scary words. How it feels having no right on someone, who was all yours, just a while ago. Breaking up of relationships, trust, dreams, homes or anything, which was once build with a lot of love , respect & trust by two or more people. How much emotions they would have put into it, giving it a shape and then someday, due to something, it broke-up.

You never know, when someone would change. The person you met a year ago does not remain the same, a year later. Someone whom you had trusted and loved most at some point of time, becomes a stranger. Friends, you used to bank on heavily, fail to keep up the promise anymore. You can not talk to him/her, can not hug him/her, can not adore him/her, whenever you want..because he/she does not belong to you anymore. As if people are a part of property and your stake has ended in him/her.


Though, with time, people come out of all the traumas, but it certainly leaves an ugly scar, somewhere. They become a different person, either a rebel or an apprehensive forever. Either they refuse to accept any relation in their life.. or they become so much emotionally dependent, pushing themselves on the path of many more break-ups.


And who else can capture the essence of this agony than the great Gulzar.

"Haath chootein bhi to rishte nahi choda karte…
Waqt ki shaakh se lamhe nahi thoda karte,
Jisne pairon ke nishaan bhi nahi chode peeche,

Us musafir ka.. pata bhi nahi poocha karate,
Choot gaye yaar, na chooti yaari, maula.

Tune awaaz nahi dee kabhi mudh kar warna,
Hum kayee sadiyaan..

Tujhe ghoom ke dekha karte,
Haath choote bhi to rishte nahi choda karte... "

'Thank You'.....A Wonderful Expression..!

Well how many amoung us often use these 2 words 'THANK YOU' in our life..?

I bring this topic up because each day that goes by we tend to do various things for others or help in someway without hearing these two simple words ‘Thank You’. Its a fact that there wont be anyone in this world who really dont want to be appreciated by others when we deserves to be appreciated..Hearing these two simple words ‘Thank You’ can evoke a sense of acknowledgment or appreciation.

In a relationship its very important to acknowledge. But these two words can be easily forgotten to be said or used without sincerity. Not feeling valued or feeling unappreciated can negatively impact one’s relationship. Relationships can be improved when one is cognizant of their efforts in displaying gratitude, appreciation, and encouragement. Often, it is easier to focus on negative aspects in a relationship; however, saying ‘Thank You’, ‘Great Dinner’, ‘I love the way…’, etc can bring a greater response . Ongoing gratitude and appreciation can strengthen any relationship which could offset times of arguments and conflicts because gratitude creates the most wonderful feeling..


Expressing gratitude and appreciation is a great tool that could improve your relationships. I ask you now to take this time to think of the people who are supportive and appreciated of you. I ask this of you because people can easily go unnoticed for their efforts, support and encouragement. I hope that this insight on the importance of appreciation, gratitude and saying ‘thank you’ inspires or reminds to say ‘thank you’ in the near future..It does not take much to make someone feel valued.

"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." Said by William Arthur Ward..So lets start saying 'Thank You' sincerely and liberally in our day to day life and lets see what great difference it can bring to our relationships..

Have You Ever...?

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most..saying something and wishing you had not or saying nothing and wishing you had..?

Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because..your fear of rejection was too hard to handle..?

Contentment..A Real Blessing..!


In our life we must have heard many times the word Contentment..But I used to wonder well how many among us really understsand the meaning and importance of being contented with oneself and ones life...I doubt.

It says that contentment could be derived from various resources of what life has to offer. It could be in the form of people, things or circumstances in one’s life. But I am asking you..are we contented with what we have? Or does it lie in the material things that we desire so much to possess? What is it in being contented with? What we have with us or that is around us? Do we need to fulfill all our desires, always?

In life actually I have experienced..what it is like to fall over and over again and still manage to recuperate from it and ready to take on the world. Each experience has taught me something new to learn from and adapt to it in my daily life. So no dissatisfactions to crib about as of now and definitely trying to enjoy whichever way my life is flowing. I know I am not talking something new here as each one of us may have gone through similar mind-boggling and life-changing experiences to relate to. If given a chance to glance back on life’s journey, for most of us, it would still be a fresh memory. One may simply smile off with a shrug that it wasn’t that a bad experience to cling on.. But at times we deliberately, tend to miss out on the goodness of it and brood more over the displeasures that caused that situation.

Amidst all these, at times I feel contented with my life and sometimes I dont miss anything at all..When I see things or people around me, it doesn’t seem to make an impact on me as a being. I wonder why? Am I not human being or is that I am impeccable or absolutely flawless.? By saying so may be I'm trying to justify my actions or glorifying self unpropotionatelty or I could be trying to shirk away from my trueself or the expectations from myself including my family and friends who look upon me trustingly to see me succeeding..? But the fact is I don’t try to stop myself from sailing along as I know there will be many pleasant things/unpleasant things that I shall come across en route. Because somewhere I realise the neccessity to be contented with my life ..so striving for a little more attainment in a blissful way, which I see as a genuine need for a better quality of one’s life. Many life has changed by walking on a humble and spiritual path. Setbacks of life should be always a experimental learning path to take us ahead in a mature way.




I happened to read a few beautiful lines somewhere, which touched me deeply. It said, “Success is getting what you like; and satisfaction is enjoying what you get. Excatly, satisfaction can only be derived from contentment only. In other words 'Contentment' is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have.. Another thought provoking reality is that rejoice in everything that you have, instead of pondering about what is missing. Be grateful for it but do go ahead and work on what it is not, yet in a humble way. These are such thoughtful and beautiful lines to rely on..

I believe that the best way of remaining content is to simplify one’s life by doing what one feels is right and what makes ones life happy. Fewer desires, less complexities. But same time achieve what you once desired without completely denying, yet be contented with what one has without losing one’s charm and dignity...

Flowers...!


Flowers are always one of my favourite in my wishlist and nothing capture my heart like flowers do..As I think about flowers and see or inhale its pure fragrance, it makes my heart glorify with happiness. I think there wont be anyone in this whole world who wont like flowers..

How eloquently flowers can speak the language of love... perhaps nothing can convey the way flowers do in such a natural & simple way.. because it is so delicate & beautiful like love...But how many of you get chance to say it with flowers and mean them? Frankly speaking I never had that many opportunities to either say it. Though deep inside, my heart has always longed for it or waited for that opportunity to make that someone feel special about their existence in my life.

Flowers and new born babies are very much alike. Both can be groomed and moulded as you like it. All it requires our love, care and patience in trying to make them what we ever wanted them to be. Flowers have an empowering affect on people’s lives. They bring joy and excitement when given or received during weddings, anniversaries, birthdays. A symbol of love to be cherished forever. They also provide utmost comfort when you miss your loved ones.

Shakespeare once said..."A Rose will still smell as sweet, with whatever name you may call it”..Yes, how true it is..!!!

Often Times...!

Often times...
In the heavy stillness...
Between sleep and waking....
When I am yet unsure....
Of my conscious thought...
You slowly creep into the secret corners....

Often times...
When I lost in myself...
And struggling to pave my way...
A light comes shining through...
That spreads a smile across my face...
Is undoubtedly a happy thought of you...

Often times...
Just a thought of you...
Brings me faster to you...
Than the autumn breeze...
While whispering your name...
And quickly erase the distance between us...

Life Goes On...!


This world consists of people and things. People are meant to be loved, things to be used. We mess it up by loving things and using people. As we grow up we learn that the one person, who wasn't supposed to let you down, probably will.

You'll have your heart broken, probably more than once, and it's going to be harder every time.

You'll break hearts too, so remember how it feels.You'll fight with your best friends and lose friends you thought you would always have.

You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.You'll cry because time is passing so fast and you'll eventually lose somebody you couldn't picture your life without.

So take too many pictures, laugh just a little too much, and live life to its fullest!

You have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad,love what you have, and remember what you had, always forgive, but never forget, learn from your mistakes, but never regret, people change, things go wrong, but just remember that LIFE GOES ON !
