Thursday, November 1, 2007
Hope is there to make you win...
Do not give up and do not give in,
for hope is there to make you win !!
whether through trouble or through pain,
the lesson should never be in vain!!
Staring through the night,
It might feel like you have lost sight!!
But behold just a few momments more,
and light will break through with a roar!!
Do not give up and do not give in,
For hope is there to make you win!!

whether through trouble or through pain,

Do not give up and do not give in,

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" !!
