Even this will pass...

One night when i went to bed with a particularly disturbed mind,i had read a story...a thought of reassurance...a story that i have remembered for a long time ever since. I wish to share that story with the readers of my blog…
'There was an unhappy king in an old empire. he did not know the cause of his unhappiness. he thought for a long while and realized that when he was happy he couldn’t think of being sad...and when he was sad he couldn’t think of being happy… so he was confused. The king told his son who was a teenager,about his problem. the son thought for a while and told his dad that he would help him..that he needed a time of 2 weeks. True to his word the son returned to his father on the 14th day. he clutched a little box in his hand. the son handed the little box to his father who opened it carefully to see a gold ring in it. The ring had an engraved message on it which read ''EVEN THIS WILL PASS''. From then on the king was neither overjoyed at his success nor depressed at his failure.''
The message u can carry home is... everything is transient. Don't worry...after all ''EVEN THIS WILL PASS…''!!

Gear up...

Every time I conquered a goal,
I looked back and smiled,
said “Thank you for the cheers, dear friend
that were on all while”.

You gently smiled,
and silently left the seat,
with a message left in the vacant space,
“gear up…there’s another goal to beat!”
i replied....."I can...I am ready..."!!

Parable of a pencil...

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting it into the box. There are 5 things you need to know, he told the pencil, before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.

ONE:

You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand.

TWO:

You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.

THREE:

You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

FOUR:

The most important part of you will always be what's inside.

FIVE:

On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.

Now replacing the place of the pencil with you; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

ONE:

You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

TWO:

You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.

THREE:

You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

FOUR:

The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.

FIVE:

On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No

matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties. By

understanding and remembering, let us proceed with our life on this

earth having a meaningful purpose in our heart...

The gift in everything...

Life is opportunity!
Every day,
All seem it gray,
Can stimulate new thought.

Chance is not what rules the world
There's purpose everywhere,
It's just for us to recognize
The pearl that's waiting there.

The opportunity for us,
To learn and serve and grow.
The harder that the 'problem' seems
The higher we can go.

What is ours will come to us,
So fear becomes inept.
Just find the gift in everything
and we will become adept....

The gift of being a single...

Hi folks...this is one of the philosophy i read from my friends blog. sharing with you...Its the diffrent way of looking at your life, if your single!!

The gift of being single. I have a blessing, which is sometimes seen as a curse. I am blessed with the gift of being single.

It seems the world has already come up with its own set of expectations on how we should live life. The world expects us to finish school in our early twenties, get a job, and find the love of our lives by the time we reach our mid-twenties, marry and have kids. But the thing is, not everyone sees his or her dreams come true in the same way.

The Art of Contentment. For most of us, being single will be more of a phase than a final destination. This is the best place to practice the art of contentment. Someday, I'm sure most of us will fall in love and get married. But the thing is, love will always be tested. Someone more pretty, more charming, richer, funnier, would come along. If you have not practiced the art of contentment as a single person, chances are you would be tempted to want that and not cherish your chosen one. Practicing the Art of Contentment as a single person means that you take what life gives you, good or bad.

Being single is a time of your life when you can get to know yourself better. You can pursue different interests and passions without having to ask another person's approval. It is a phase when you can keep focus on other things, discover your potentials and talents, and see yourself become more than what you expect to be. Try to get to know yourself first before you try to get to know other people. To be truly loved means to be known and accepted for who you are.

Treat this stage of your life as a phase to evaluate who is good for you and who is best for you. Sometimes, you won't hear music, or feel magic to know who's best for you. The heart just knows and it doesn't need any romantically charged scenario to decide on the matter. Trust in your heart, and trust that time will eventually lead you to, not to the perfect partner, but to the most suitable partner for you.

Being married doesn't guarantee that it will make your life happy. It doesn't guarantee anything at all. Sometimes, it only brings two miserable people together only to make their life even more miserable. Without the right intention, the emotional maturity, financial security and unwavering love, you're better off unattached.

Living Life. Don't put your life on hold for Ms. Right but don't let it waste away with Ms. Wrong. Life is about things that you do and happen to you everyday. It's not about the things that could have happened but never did, or things that you think would happen in the future. Live life now. Live it to the fullest and stop beating you up, trying to be perfect on a date. Allow life to surprise you with its most wonderful blessings...!!

Creative Thinking - 10 Mental Blocks !!

This is one of the best article i have read on creative thinking. sharing with you...

Whether you’re trying to solve a tough problem, start a business, get attention for that business or write an interesting article, creative thinking is crucial. The process boils down to changing your perspective and seeing things differently than you currently do.
People like to call this “thinking outside of the box,” which is the wrong way to look at it. Just like Neo needed to understand that “there is no spoon” in the film The Matrix, you need to realize “there is no box” to step outside of.
You create your own imaginary boxes simply by living life and accepting certain things as “real” when they are just as illusory as the beliefs of a paranoid delusional. The difference is, enough people agree that certain man-made concepts are “real,” so you’re viewed as “normal.” This is good for society overall, but it’s that sort of unquestioning consensus that inhibits your natural creative abilities.
So, rather than looking for ways to inspire creativity, you should just realize the truth. You’re already capable of creative thinking at all times, but you have to strip away the imaginary mental blocks (or boxes) that you’ve picked up along the way to wherever you are today.
I like to keep this list of 10 common ways we suppress our natural creative abilities nearby when I get stuck. It helps me realize that the barriers to a good idea are truly all in my head.

1. Trying to Find the “Right” Answer

One of the worst aspects of formal education is the focus on the correct answer to a particular question or problem. While this approach helps us function in society, it hurts creative thinking because real-life issues are ambiguous. There’s often more than one “correct” answer, and the second one you come up with might be better than the first.
Many of the following mental blocks can be turned around to reveal ways to find more than one answer to any given problem. Try reframing the issue in several different ways in order to prompt different answers, and embrace answering inherently ambiguous questions in several different ways.

2. Logical Thinking

Not only is real life ambiguous, it’s often illogical to the point of madness. While critical thinking skills based on logic are one of our main strengths in evaluating the feasibility of a creative idea, it’s often the enemy of truly innovative thoughts in the first place.
One of the best ways to escape the constraints of your own logical mind is to think metaphorically. One of the reasons why metaphors work so well in communications is that we accept them as true without thinking about it. When you realize that “truth” is often symbolic, you’ll often find that you are actually free to come up with alternatives.

3. Following Rules

One way to view creative thinking is to look at it as a destructive force. You’re tearing away the often arbitrary rules that others have set for you, and asking either “why” or “why not” whenever confronted with the way “everyone” does things.
This is easier said than done, since people will often defend the rules they follow even in the face of evidence that the rule doesn’t work. People love to celebrate rebels like Richard Branson, but few seem brave enough to emulate him. Quit worshipping rule breakers and start breaking some rules.

4. Being Practical

Like logic, practicality is hugely important when it comes to execution, but often stifles innovative ideas before they can properly blossom. Don’t allow the editor into the same room with your inner artist.
Try not to evaluate the actual feasibility of an approach until you’ve allowed it to exist on it’s own for a bit. Spend time asking “what if” as often as possible, and simply allow your imagination to go where it wants. You might just find yourself discovering a crazy idea that’s so insanely practical that no one’s thought of it before.

5. Play is Not Work

Allowing your mind to be at play is perhaps the most effective way to stimulate creative thinking, and yet many people disassociate play from work. These days, the people who can come up with great ideas and solutions are the most economically rewarded, while worker bees are often employed for the benefit of the creative thinkers.
You’ve heard the expression “work hard and play hard.” All you have to realize is that they’re the same thing to a creative thinker.

6. That’s Not My Job

In an era of hyper-specialization, it’s those who happily explore completely unrelated areas of life and knowledge who best see that everything is related. This goes back to what ad man Carl Ally said about creative persons—they want to be know-it-alls.
Sure, you’ve got to know the specialized stuff in your field, but if you view yourself as an explorer rather than a highly-specialized cog in the machine, you’ll run circles around the technical master in the success department.

7. Being a “Serious” Person

Most of what keeps us civilized boils down to conformity, consistency, shared values, and yes, thinking about things the same way everyone else does. There’s nothing wrong with that necessarily, but if you can mentally accept that it’s actually nothing more than groupthink that helps a society function, you can then give yourself permission to turn everything that’s accepted upside down and shake out the illusions.
Leaders from Egyptian pharaohs to Chinese emperors and European royalty have consulted with fools, or court jesters, when faced with tough problems. The persona of the fool allowed the truth to be told, without the usual ramifications that might come with speaking blasphemy or challenging ingrained social conventions. Give yourself permission to be a fool and see things for what they really are.

8. Avoiding Ambiguity

We rationally realize that most every situation is ambiguous to some degree. And although dividing complex situations into black and white boxes can lead to disaster, we still do it. It’s an innate characteristic of human psychology to desire certainty, but it’s the creative thinker who rejects the false comfort of clarity when it’s not really appropriate.
Ambiguity is your friend if you’re looking to innovate. The fact that most people are uncomfortable exploring uncertainty gives you an advantage, as long as you can embrace ambiguity rather than run from it.

9. Being Wrong is Bad

We hate being wrong, and yet mistakes often teach us the most. Thomas Edison was wrong 1,800 times before getting the light bulb right. Edison’s greatest strength was that he was not afraid to be wrong.
The best thing we do is learn from our mistakes, but we have to free ourselves to make mistakes in the first place. Just try out your ideas and see what happens, take what you learn, and try something else. Ask yourself, what’s the worst that can happen if I’m wrong? You’ll often find the benefits of being wrong greatly outweigh the ramifications.

10. I’m Not Creative

Denying your own creativity is like denying you’re a human being. We’re all limitlessly creative, but only to the extent that we realize that we create our own limits with the way we think. If you tell yourself you’re not creative, it becomes true. Stop that.
In that sense, awakening your own creativity is similar to the path reported by those who seek spiritual enlightenment. You’re already enlightened, just like you’re already creative, but you have to strip away all of your delusions before you can see it. Acknowledge that you’re inherently creative, and then start tearing down the other barriers you’ve allowed to be created in your mind.

Staring through the night,

Do not give up and do not give in,
For hope is there to make you win!!

The women in your life...!!

The woman in your life...very well expressed... (to all those who are married and to those who are yet to get married). Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry with these facts as well.Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;Who is earning almost as much as you do;One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are;
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievementsOne, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family nameOne, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day 1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen.

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise;One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her;
One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this...are you one of them?? ask this question to your self. Guys understand this because she has dreams and aspirations just as you have!! because she is as human as you are !!

Eyes don't lie...

Those innocent eyes told me,
Someone’s waiting,
Someone’s too happy
My arrival was welcomed
My attention was unbelievable

Your eyes told me you can’t lie
And that you believed me
Even if I lied
Silent eyes conveyed
You wanted me to speak
You wanted to listen

Things you wanted to hide
Your eyes betrayed you
That you’re hurt….. Deeply
That it pains
When I am rude
When I am angry

I know a thousand things
You never said
But meant them
Like, you’ve hurt me
In a way nobody ever did
And it’s no use saying sorry
Like, you cried……..

You forgot
Eyes don’t lie
Never
They were the first one to whisper
Words …………..
You could not dare to say….

The attitude !!

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer contractor of his plans to leave the house- building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the pay check, but he needed to retire. They could get by.
The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favour. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.
When the carpenter finished his work the employer came to inspect the house.
He handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house", he said, my gift to you.
The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own, he would have done it all so differently.

We do the most of the things having such thoughts in our mind. But we only realize when it comes back to us. So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then with a shock we realize we have to live in the house that we have built. If we could do it over, we'd do it much differently. But we cannot go back.

You are the carpenter. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Life is a do-it-yourself project, someone has said. Your attitudes and the choices you make today, build the house you live in tomorrow. Build wisely!!

"You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough" !!

Being in 20's - something...

One of my friend mailed me this one, i thought its worth to share...

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

"You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough...."

The real game...love!!

Folks...This one is from my friends blog but these are the very true sentences...very true...In evryone's life this situation comes and your the best person to deal with it...

Life is the process of finding love; every person will need to find four people in their life...
For some lucky people out there, three out of the four people will be the same person, but for others, they'll just have to keep looking.

-first person is you,
-second person is the one you love the most,
-third person is the one who loves you the most
-and the fourth person is the one you spend your whole life with.

Sadly, in real life, not everybody can have these three people to be the same person. The one you love most doesn't love you. The one who loves you the most, is never the one you love and the one you spend the rest of your life with is never the one you love the most or the one who loves you the most! He/She is just the person who happens to be at the right place, at the right time.

Which person are you in other people's lives?

and also remeber following three things...in love...

- "If u hold love too lightly, it would fly... but if u hold it too tightly, then also, it would die"

- "If ur love wants to fly, let it... Only if it comes back to you, then its urs"

- "Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out that you still care for that person...!!"

Eyes...

I gaze into twin pools of warmth

Bright and sparkling

I see something indescribable

Something I can't quite put my finger on.

Twin pool, blazing and brilliant

Making all your sweetness

And all your compassion

Crystal clear.

Twin pools shimmering and glimmering

Showing how you're

Sweet, sensitive,caring and kind

Funny athletic

cunning and friendly

Twin pools, so animated and intense

Help me to share

Your love of life,

Your life of love.

I gaze into twin pools of warmth

and I see the sweetest person

I've ever met or ever will meet

I recognize a sincere and honest person

who can never be replaced

I realize you are so special because

When I look into your eyes

I witness a miracle, I find a friend...

Leader....

This one is “Classy” article published in times which clearly defines what is leader and what he should do. This one is written by Mr. Rudy Giuliani. (Former New York Mayor).

“Under promise and over deliver”

Surround yourself with great people. Have beliefs and communicate them. Set an example. Stand up to bullies. Deal with first things first. Loyalty is the vital virtue. Prepare relentlessly. Under promise and over deliver this is the “mantra”. Don’t assume a damn thing.
Leadership does not simply happen. It can be taught, learned and developed. There are many ways to lead and ultimately you will know what techniques and approaches work best – Those you hope to lead will tell you. Much of your ability to get people to do what they have to do is going to depend on what they perceive when they look at you and listen to you.
Much of a leader’s approach must be formed from the raw material of his or her own life. Leadership does not simply happen. It can be taught, learned, developed. Read biographies of leaders you admire. That will tell you more about leadership than any other leadership book.
Leaders may possess brilliance, extraordinary vision, fate, even luck. Those help, but no one, no matter how gifted, can perform without careful preparation, thoughtful experiment and determined follow-through. Any leader is only as good as his word. People need to understand that you mean exactly what you say!!
And as Napoleon Bonaparte said….

A leader is a dealer in hope...!!

"If...

"If" - An Inspirational Poem by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and

blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
but make allowances for their doubting, too.

If you can wait but not be tired of waiting,
or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
and yet don't look too good nor talk too wise,

If you can dream but not make dreams your master,
if you can think and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with triumph and disaster,
and treat those two imposters just the same,

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
and stoop and build them up with worn-out tools,

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
and risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
and lose and start again at your beginnings
and never breathe a word about your loss,

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your turn long after they are gone,
and to hold on when there is nothing in you
but the will that says to them "hold on,"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
or walk with kings nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
if all men count with you but none too much,

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
with 60 seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
and which is more, you'll be a man, my son...

FriendZ....

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend...

Someone who changes your life just by being part of it...

Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop...

Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world...

Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it!!

"Excuse me...Hello..can we"!!

He studied her as if she was a work of art. No words to explain her beauty. There was complete pin drop silence for a moment.
“Do you have any girlfriend?” she asked him suddenly but his mind seems to be pre-occupied in his own thoughts.
"Raj" she hushed a bit loudly second time. This brought him back to the reality."Huh?" he reacted, as he regained his composure.
She just smiled at him and said, "You must be thinking of something."
“No…Nothing, what you ask?” Raj said looking into her eyes again. He just loved to do that.
“Do you have any girlfriend?” she repeated her question.
“No…no girlfriend,” he answered with a smile. He hadn’t smile so much in single day ever before.
“Your…boyfriend?” this time Raj put the ball in her court, albeit with some nervousness. In a way, he was too enjoying every bit of tension. “What you think?” she teased him.
“How I know?” Raj blushed visibly.
She did not answer at once. Her dark hair spilled out on the sides of her face. She paused for a moment and sighed. Fiddling with her little finger ring, she looked at the ceiling and tugged the hair into a tiny ponytail. And then the response came.
“Well…I don’t believe in this ‘boyfriend-girlfriend’ thing, so I don’t require one,” she explained her reason with the answer.
“Hmmm…common excuse,” he shrugged his shoulders with a leg-pulling smirk on face.
She laughed loudly throwing her head back to the pillows. She pulled the quilt closer to her body. In between, light drizzling began. Within few moments, raindrops got heavier. Both could hear the music of raindrops falling outside. “I just love rain, feeling like dancing right here, right now,” she giggled with a note of happiness he could hear in her voice, “I can sense the music of rain, drops falling on leaves, beautiful clouds in sky,” she continued spreading her arms with closed eyes.
“Do you like rain?” she asked again, probably reminding herself that there is another person too was sitting in the room.
“Yes...Me too,” he replied.
“Let’s play a game,” the next moment she came down from the bed and sat on his mat. For Raj, it was totally unexpected move from her. “You’re joking, right?” he blinked his long lashes.
“Of course not,” she was enjoying his stunned face ex-pressions.
“Not this time,” he ineffectively negated the idea.
“Playing a game in the mid of night in a cold January night, isn’t it cool?” she resisted.“What game?” he asked.
“Let’s focus into each-other’s eyes and see who blinks first?” she said enthusiastically.
“Okay,” he readily agreed. How could he loose the chance of looking in those beautiful emerald eyes! They were full of innocence and depth. His heart missed a beat when she came closer.
Both sat face-to-face first time. Raj didn’t know exactly what ex-pression he should have on his face: joy, surprise, innocence, love….????????
Eyes met…with butterflies in stomach…. he just tried to hide his feeling.
Her eyes were so deep, like a blue ocean. Dreams were coming true one by one.
Raj couldn’t have asked for more. There is only a limit to which one can resist the ultimate pleasure.
She was smiling sweetly and amazingly focused at the same time. Her smile had the power to make him fall in love, not only with her, but with life too. He wanted this to go on forever. If possible, he’d love to gather all the moments in his hands forever.
Moments then passed away in silent contemplations. Raj couldn’t sustain the focus and blinked his eyes.
“I won…I won…I won,” she stood up and began celebrating her small insignificant win making funny faces towards him. It was her turn to blink now. The deep sound was weaving its spell around him.
Raj saw the real happiness first time, the strong effect of pure bliss in simple and small things.
“Switch off the light, its too late,” she said with sudden seriousness on her face and moved back to her bed. He follwoed her words.
Lights were switched off and darkness was singing its own sound of silence.
Raj buried his head in the pillow and tried to make some meaning out of this song of silence.
As the golden rays of sun kissed the first part of the earth in the morning, the street was abuzz with ambulance and police sirens. Policemen in their neat khaki dresses thronged the first floor balcony of the house no. 21/A1, Kamla Park, Pune, while a larger crowd stood down braving the drop in temperature. The crowd’s whispers were no different: “When did it happen?” “Who did it?” “Who was the guy?” “What he used to do?” “Jamana bhut kharab hai!”
The mutilated body (or, say parts) of the guy was lay in the ambulance by the hospital ward-boys on a stretcher covered under a pure white cloth.
With deep wounds on the back and ribs, face had been battered beyond recognition. It seemed that the eyes had been gouged out after he died of nonstop brutal attacks on his body.
“Ye pichle ek maheene me saatnwa dil hila dene wala murder hai, or Police poori tarah se apradhi ko pakadne me nakamyab rahi hai...laash itni buri tarah se bigad di agyee hai ki post-mortem ki bhi jaroorat nahi padne wali, Police aakhir kab tak soti rahegi…kab tak masoom logon ki jaane ek bimar dimag wale serial killer ke hatthon jati rahengi…Police department ko iska jawab dena hi padega,”
(It is the seventh shocking brutal murder in past one month, and police is totally failed in bringing the culprits to book, murders are happening with such brutality that it even doesn’t require any postmortem anymore, how long police would continue to be ineffective, how many more innocent lives would be lost because of a sick-minded serial killer on prowl, Police department have to answer this!)

Two beautiful (?) prying eyes, standing alone in a street corner behind the crowd were watching the entire thing. The eyes were shining with fingers clinched into each-others snugly. Eyes were smiling more than the lips.
…………..
Today night…
The clock struck 11:30 pm. A guy is standing near the JM Road, waiting for the bus. Suddenly he hears a sugary voice.
“Excuse me…Helloooo...can we...,” she called him with a juicy smile on her lips.

Goals...

In life everybody wants to achieve something for that everybody sets goals. I think that's definitely a good topic to talk about.

You have a great routine (exercising, working, partying!!) and life as usual changes on you. This isn’t a bad thing, it just is. It’s a natural part of life and something that should be looked towards as opposed to resisted. The problem comes into play if you have a goal you’re trying to reach and the change interrupts it. This is where the idea of getting back on track comes into play. Personally, you have to reevaluate whatever goal it is you have and decide if it’s something you still want to do, or if it’s a priority in your life.
I’ve noticed when changes come in life that interrupts your flow, it’s usually for a reason. It’s either a test, to see how much you want something or a sign, pushing you to something better. That’s why re-evaluating your goals is so important. You may realize that the purpose you use to have may be outdated to who you are now. It may also need tweaking for your current needs.I learned to make list of most wanted things in my life, it’s an excellent tool to keep myself on track and constantly focused on my goals and desires.
It’s really simple and works like this: On a sheet of paper, you write down a list of the 10 things you want most in your life right now. It’s usually best to start with smaller goals or steps in the direction of a bigger goal you have; that way you can see the immediate progress you’re making. Look at this list at least once a day, and visualize yourself as having each one of these goals and your life with them.
If you notice you don’t really have a passion for one of them anymore, it’s ok, just remove it and put another on there. It’s all about honestly asking yourself what you want in your life right now.The awesome thing about this list is as you start using it more and more, your goals will start coming faster and faster. You’ll align your life to reach the goals you set for yourself. For instance, one of my goal last year was to reduce 15Kg’s of weight. I wrote it down and kept visualizing it everyday. Naturally, motivation came to me to workout everyday and eat right.. For anybody who knows me, this is huge, Now I am fit and fine!!
As long as you refer back to and update this list, your actions will be geared toward satisfying your goals and your life will follow suit. Then when the inevitable changes occur, the problem becomes overcoming the obstacle as opposed to ending your desire.

In life, as in football, you won't go far unless you know where the goalposts are!!

Heart Speaks or Soul Talk

Do words mean so much or does life mean so much?
I feel so comfortable when I feel love around me. No matter whether it is an article I read about love, or a movie, or any drama, anything and everything about love affects me deeply. But I have to accept one thing one powerful vision that drags me in to the soul and makes me listen to all my soul conversations is the media, especially some lovable movies that are classically made. I wonder sometimes how powerful these feelings are. They just eat me in when I think about them.
You may wonder what I have been leading to. I am talking about the beautiful feeling that happens inside me when I watch some beautifully made movies. And how they affect my thoughts and drag me towards my own thoughts. When I say the word "love" it is not restricted to just one feeling that exists between a man and a woman. It is inside every form of object. It needs to be perceived in a proper way else it vanishes unrecognizably or else is misinterpreted badly. It’s like oxygen, which is all around us but which can never be noticed only be inhaled.
When I think about some person whom I wanted to be with always or at least wanted to spend little time talking to them I feel touched and moved, emotionally blocked sometimes. But if they are not there or they are busy in some other job and refuses to meet me I feel shattered. I feel very angry and hurt about that situation. Irrelevant questions about what or who is more important to them begins to crowd my mind. I cannot concentrate on all my other jobs. Well, all of them become so unimportant all of a sudden, whatever their earlier priority in my life may have been.
If a friend with whom you have lost touch remembers your birthday and sends a card that is engraved with emotional words, the moment when you read it a great joy pumps in and you feel the whole world is revolving around you. Every time you think about that person you seem to see them as your most favorite person. And all of the sudden you feel like you are being noticed by every one. Every instance that happens around you looks as though its been made for you specially. The breeze that flows on your face, the little street dog that wags its tail when it notices u, a butterfly suddenly tapping your shoulder, every single incident no matter how silly and normal they are, appear to be laden with great importance to you. Your face is filled with great joy and a beautiful smile the whole day. That day would have a great importance in your life. Perhaps a memorable day that you would always recollect with fond memories and a smile. All because someone sent you a birthday card. Sounds simple right?? Yet so full of meaning affecting your life not just one day but for on and on.
What is that great ingredient that made one day of your life so important? Its simply nothing but the feeling that tells you that you are being liked by some person you never thought of. The feeling that helped you realize that you r being cared by some one unexpected. That simple greeting with most powerful words on earth would be preserved by you more carefully than a diamond. Life seem to be so meaningful.
Sometimes a few minute commercial song means so much when you hum it. You feel that happiness and completeness in you when you sing it. If you look behind the reason for it, you find that there is some beauty you liked hidden behind those commercial song's lyrics. It would probably reveal that passion in you that you never realized. Love is around you in every single form that you can never predict. Some of us have the habit of preserving silly things like chocolate wrappers, feather, bottle caps, a thread from your favorite dress etc. If some one accidentally throws them you really get wild. Can you explain the reason if some one asks for it? Well definitely not! Its that soothing feeling that is with you whenever you are with those lifeless objects that make your life more lively.
Some say that these are meaningless things. I can declare one thing about such people. They are all people who successfully found the meaning of their life and failed to experience the meaningless joy around them every fraction of second. Love is definitely a whole packet of energy that makes you climb the sky. It makes all your seconds more valuable. Love always exists between every one you mingle with. It has no boundary, enemy or friend. You would also discover some good thing in your enemy, there is always a good thing hiding inside every heart. And whenever a living thing comes in contact with this good thought it blossoms into love. No matter how much you hide them from others; you cannot hide this truth from yourself.
Though you have this love and affection for others it is always ‘the time’ that explains it and makes it more meaningful. So do find the right time to make others understand your affection. Never feel too bad to wish your friend ‘belated wishes’ no matter how late it is. It is not always too late to tell some one that you care about them a lot. This ‘belated wishes’ would then turn to be the best birthday present your friend ever received for birthday. The thought of love and care for some one is considered ‘valuable’ only if that is understood by the person whom you like. "It is utter stupidity to sacrifice your life and your affection for someone who never ever bothers about you and your feelings. Instead of wasting your time to make them understand your care for them, try to understand the trust and faith others have on you." This sentence is especially for those teenagers who waste their life on unrequited love totally unbothered about the faith and trust their parents have on their future!
If you want to make your life more valuable and fun-filled then don’t be calculative in each and every single conversation you have with others. Do not always expect things from others and if at all you expect something from others and it fails then try to learn something about the situation. Don’t try to blame someone for it and don’t change your attitude about that person you have all the sudden. There is some good, lovable quality in every worst thing you consider. Love is a secret password inside you if you can hack it and try to use it in every global system ( every living things in world) then you can have all the secret password of every other system. You can make any place a peaceful world where god and goodness join their hands, sharing the life’s secrecy with all !A Tamil saying in Tanglish : " Anbirku unndo adaikum thazl …" – " Love has no boundaries…."
