Life is hard, trying to take it easy!

I'm trying to learn, to take life easy, not let every little thing, get to me.It doesn't do me any good, as far as I can see! I'm constantly in a dither, when anything goes wrong.

It doesn't matter what it is, it's whatever comes along. I never usedto be this way, I never let things get out of hand. Just what made thechange, I cannot understand. At one point in my life, nothing would faze me. I'd manage to think with a clear head.

Now, at the slightest provacation, I'm falling apart instead! I don't like
feeling like this, as it's not the way I want to be.

In the meantime, I hope I can emerge once more, like the same old me!

Miss you!

Memories are more than a link to the past.
Sometimes they're all we have that will last.

First hug and my first ride on your bike.
That first special gift, I gave to the person whom I liked.

First date and we were lost in the lonely lane
at 12 in the night, unafraid..A Hope that said you are with me .

Late night movie and our crazy plans
Everything that we did was a perfect land

That lovely Sunday at home, oh we had so much fun.
We played and we laughed, and relaxed in the sun.
The moments were so good, the life that we had.
Our friendship grew stronger in good times and bad.

But now things have changed, and my heart's full of fear.
I weep bitter tears thinking of you my dear…
The silence we have in between, feels like a lost dream
It is hard to say something ,its not right to keep within

Now comes the time when I must say good-bye.
My heart is breaking, I can't help but cry.

A terrible fight has taken you away from me.
But you are happy and that’s what is relived

The memories that will be cherished, will always be mine.
No matter what others may do or say, Nothing will ever take them away …

Its true but I sure will Miss you!:(

Filhaal....Jee lene de!

“The secret of health for both the mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, not to anticipate troubles, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”
- Buddha

All of us know that happiness is not experienced in the past or in the future. It's always experienced in the MOMENT (Filhaal)! If we have wait to be happy sometime in the future, we might be waiting a very, very, very long time.....

.........Aur yeh dil bole......

Phela se likha kuch b nahi,Roj naya kuch likthi hai tu,
Jo b likha hai, Dil se jiya hai!
Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de...

Masoom c husi;
Bewaja hi kabhi hoton pe khil jathi hai,
Anjaan c kushi,
Behthi hui kabhi sahil se mil jathi hai,

Yeh anjaana sa durr.. ajnabi hai; magar Khoobsurat hai! Jee lene de!

Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de...

Dil he mein rehta hai
Ankhon mein behta hai;
Kachaa se ek khwaab hai...
Lugtha sawal hai,shayad jawaab hai;
Dil fir b betaab hai

Yeh sukoon hai tho hai; Yeh junoon hai tho hai! Jee lene de!

Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de..


“Yesterday is ashes; tomorrow wood. Only today does the fire burn brightly.”

Life is really too short for regrets....

Life is really too short for regrets....
To use a well known phrase: We forget to pause long enough to smell the roses.

Date: 21st June 2009

Today when I was sitting in the hospital and getting my dressing done after almost a week after I met with an accident, the pain had not reduced from any angel but yes I was able to stand on my own legs without anybody’s help.

Wednesday around 8.30pm when I was crossing the road in Marathalli I was hit by a call center van. Luckily, i GUESS since the driver was already braking, the speed was reduced and due to the impact the summo stopped after it hit me and I fell infront of the car otherwise he would have run over me.

Well, no doubt it was a miraculous escape but the moment I fell on the road and lost my senses. After few minutes my brain communicated the need to get off the road. Till then crowd had gathered, somebdy held me and made me sit on the road. Stark with fear I pulled my duppata to discover a long gash on my knee that stained my light blue kurti a brilliant red.

An aunty pressed a cloth on my knee to stanch the flow of blood. My blood was drumming through my veins so rapidly, I felt deaf. Only the horn of a scooter told me I could still hear. It sounded so loud.
Too loud!

Frightened, I felt everything paused for few minutes. I could only hear hum of
voices of people standing next to me. Thanked all my stars for saving my life and I would shoot that crazy driver, I decided. It would be justifiable homicide. I wanted to go home early. A horrible daylong meeting had culminated in a horrible evening. I had passed exhaustion a long time ago and needed sleep. The Pounding only increased in my head thinking of all this. With a vicious oath I somehow stood with an aunt’s help and was taken to nearby hospital.

I gave vent to several of mine favorite swearwords thinking of the driver as I made my way to the hospital.

Was feeling miserable as my new dress got torn and after the dressing doc gave me good news that I have got an hair line fracture on my knee and he put a plaster..

It was around 10.40pm and I was still in the hospital waiting for my cousin to pay the bill and get me discharged.

Cursed Sathya (Friend and colleague) ‘Selfish, thought-less, demented soul’ who left office early without informing me, i wish he had dropped me home...

Well, he is not as vile as I just thought of him. ..

Whose fault it was and how I could have avoided it and all is immaterial now..At that moment you can’t think straight.

After I reached home me just hit the bed… Had to position myself in a way that my knee doesn’t gets bend as it ensures more even degree of compression along the fracture line.

Well, after an action-packed day I wanted to just rest in peace… I saw my inside of eyelids after 18 hours and I deserved to sleep. But for a minute in my pensive mood I just thought what if it was the last day of my life??

Got very disturbed and was tossing/turning around whole night with this thought running through my mind.

Life is really too short for regrets....it's always after someone you know or close to you to leave this world to make us realize this fact.

I don’t think I would have got a chance to thank my parents for everything they did for me and tell my Parents them that ‘I love them unconditionally’
I always wanted to say sorry to my sis after all the senseless fights we had but ‘ego’ came in between… If I was dead today I don’t think I could have ever…
I have always been very strict with my brother but today I just wanted to hug him and say that I love him the most and he is my life.

Quite a disturbing experience and I myself have learned a lot from it. Hope others do too.

Attitude is what Matters.

This is by far one of the most beautiful pieces I have read in a while. Very apt and pertinent for all of us who are growing 'younger' by the day, to further stimulate us to believe in our dreams, and for those of us growing older by the day, reminding us that age is of no consequence except for being a number we are associated with.Cheers! Have fun and enjoy life's challenges today, tomorrow and always....
Worth a read...... I am sure you feel good after reading this... go on.

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, 'Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?' I laughed and enthusiastically responded, 'Of course you may!' andshe gave me a giant squeeze. 'Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?' I asked. She jokingly replied, 'I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids. 'No seriously,' I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. 'I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!' she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this 'time machine' as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, 'I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.' As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, 'We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets'
She concluded her speech by courageously singing 'The Rose.' She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
WE MAKE A LIVING BY WHAT WE GET. WE MAKE A LIFE BY WHAT WE GIVE.

Rebirth

“It isn’t that we dare because things are difficult;it is that we don’t dare that they are difficult.”
- Séneca
I lost a childhood toy but have the memory of the person who gave me the gift with unconditional love.I lost the privileges and fantasies but had the opportunity of growing and living free.
I lost a lot of people whom I loved and still love… I lost moments of life because I cried instead of smiling but I discovered that: It is from planting love that love is harvested.
I lost many things many times in my life but in that “loss” today I intend for the value of “gain”
I realized that in life we have always time to start things all over again. It is not important the time of life when you are dead beat, Important is that it is always possible and necessary to restart. Re-birthing is a new opportunity; It is renewing the hopes in life and more importantly, it is behaving in oneself.
When I suffer greatly sometime… that was a time of learning.The day I cried a lot… I was cleansing my soul.Once I felt spiteful ...It was a lesson on forgiveness.In my teens sometime I use to feel I am all alone… but realized it was because I had closed all the doorsThe times in my life when I believed everything was lost it was simply the beginning of my improvement… Bottom line: Re-Birth
Today is an excellent day to start a new life… Look Higher, Dream Higher, Desire the best, Life brings us what we aspire…If we think small, the small will come. If we think determinedly on the best , on the positive and we strive for it; the best will come in our lives.To be happy one has to throw away all that binds you to the past, all that hurts you. Discard everything into garbage, lets clean our heart; prepare it for new life; and for new love…

AND YES WE ARE CAPABLE OF LOVING MANY TIMES BECAUSE WE ARE THE MANIFESTATION OF LOVE!
