Smile...

"Smile at each other; smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other- it doesn't matter who it is- and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other." - Mother Teresa

Smile - its an inexpensive tool to make all your troubles go away as easily they came. One must learn to smile no matter the hardship, no matter the trouble that befalls us, because a smile is all we need to find that hidden strength inside us. It takes something as simple as a genuine smile to make all our troubles disappear.

Smile, smile a pretty smile,
Smile and forget your sorrows for a while,
Smile when trouble seems to pour like rain,
Smile when with every heart beat all you feel is pain.

Smile when all your dreams break down,
Smile even when in your eyes you wear a frown,
Smile and give this world a chance to love you,
Smile and paint the world red, paint it bright and new.

Smile my sweetness and keep all your troubles away,
Smile because through all your miseries we’ll find a way,
Smile because on this planet we are just for a while,
Smile and touch everyone’s lives, touch them with a simple smile.

All it takes to beat the odds is no mumbo jumbo, no prayers but courage, confidence, self belief and Smile...

Those Who Love Us Best : Scars on the Heart...

"There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox.


"Is it true ? It surely cant be, I mean how can we hurt some one we love so dearly ?" - This is what most of us will surely feel. But as is the case with truth its always so strange. In my own life, I have seen, that although I may care for a person with my entire life, but even then I end up finding new and innovative ways of hurting that person.

Its Sad, Its Strange but to put it in simple words I would say - Its the Truth...

We say things we dont mean, Do things we know would hurt them, Make mistakes we shouldn't, and in the end, its always our dearest ones, who has to be left in tears, left in pain.

Yes its true that maybe we dont take pleasure in doing what we do, you see, not many of us are Sadist's, but none the less it dosent at all make our actions justified. We must learn to look at life through their point of view as well, it shouldnt be just what we want to see, but also what they want us to see - their side of the story.

Just remember that the ones closest to you are the ones who would be there even when the world falls apart, so dont alienate them, or even hurt them. Its always easy to break a Heart, but it takes a lifetime to build it or even to appreciate its beauty...

Forgiving Myself...

“I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.” - Maya Angelou.

Is it really that important to forgive yourself ?

Well I think its absolute essential to forgive yourself, it can actually make a world of difference in our own attitude towards life and can also shape your character in a much more positive way. Yes it definitely is important to seek forgiveness from others, but if you cant forgive your own mistakes than what good will others do ? If ever you make a mistake try to seek forgiveness and mean it, also try to forgive your own mistakes because that way our inner self can grow, but if we cant forgive our ownselves than we can never grow, we can never live up to being a Human Being.

Forgive your ownself, and grow bigger in life, but try never to make a mistake so big, that no one will forgive you...

Failure - Is It The End ? or, The Beginning ?

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas A. Edison

"In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time." - Anthony J. D' Angelo

Failure - does it really mean that we have failed ? Or, does it mean that if we work hard enough, than someday success will come to us ?

Personally I feel that failure is just another way of saying - "WAIT FOR ME, I'LL BE SUCCESSFUL ONE DAY". Its more like a learning curve where we learn from our mistakes, or better to say that we learn from our not so pleasant experiences. Some days back when I was browsing through the internet I came across these few lines somewhere I cant recall now, but here they are -

"What is the meaning of life ?
'Taking pain,' said the nail.
'Keeping cool,' said the ice.
'Driving hard,' said the hammer.
'Being up-to-date,' said the calendar.
'Being sharp,' said the knife.
'Making light around you,' said the fire.
'Sticking to it,' said the glue.
'Being bright,' said the lamp.
'Being on time,' said the clock.
'Saving a drop,' said the faucet.
And best of all, 'learning from it,' said the mistake."

Previously I used to think that life is fairytale and like a fairytale I thought it was full of happy surprises, exciting, vivid. But now I've come a long way to realise that there is more to life than just this 'Happily Ever After', we get wiser through our mistakes, and no miracle can make us happy or lead us to happiness. I've come to realise that each day we strive, we fight, and finally we move to understand that we have what it takes to beat the odds, and make life all the more meaningful.

But in our quest to success, we have to be dedicated to it, we have to be dedicated to make that difference, to make that winning move. And no matter what comes and goes we must learn never to give up, we must always continue to fight in good spirits and we must have faith in what we do, because nothing can be done without faith and optimism.

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." -Thomas A. Edison.

In the end just remember that in this little planet of ours there is no end to ones problems, there is no end to failures and miseries that follow it, but never lose your heart and never give up on your dreams because you never know what tomorrow will bring, just keep the fight on...

Do You Love Me ? Just How Much Do You Love Me ?

"Love is something even the most perfect assemblage of words can't describe. So please stop scaling or putting it into numbers. It doesn't work". Oliver Metz

HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME ? That fundamental question, the answer to which is ever so elusive. I mean can we really quantify, or even define how much we love the other person ? Personally I don't think we can do it, but yet there are people who ask this question, and they never get a so called "SATISFACTORY ANSWER", thats because no one can define or quantify the amount of Love, it can only be felt (Actions speak volumes, more than words actually).

We always set ideals, we say - "I want this to happen, I want you to do this, etc etc" and when that is not provided we actually get annoyed or even upset. But I've learnt that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. I mean we must learn to appreciate the simple facts of Life and Love. We forget that there is a limit to what a Human being can actually offer, and we crave for more, and in the longer run end up ruining most of the zing offered by Love.

Love means different things to different people, it bears different meanings in the hearts of different people. For me I must say that I know what love is, I may not show it to the ones I care for, I may not Love them the way it should be, but I’m always willing to love them the way I understand it...

So don't miss out on the fun of being in Love by being blinded by the things that you want, don't say that they don't Love you True, but know this that they Love you the best way they can, and its a sure way of being happy...

Keep Loving and be happy with the simple things in life...

Look Back - Maybe That Is Where Your Dreams Are...

Some times in life, we become so restless just hoping that someone will understand, or maybe Love us, that we never look back, we never realise that there maybe someone waiting quietly and patiently and hoping that we look back, they are silently feeling the same way we are...

Did it ever happen to you, that somewhere, when you were too busy trying to make that dream date of your's love you back, someone else entered your life and expected the same from you ? Or, did it happen, that you were the one who waited for someone to look back, while he/she was just too busy to make someone else love them back ? It hurts to love someone who doesn't give you the time of day. But it hurts even more when you realize that someone you don't give the time of day loved you & gave it up because you loved someone else.



What ever your story, one thing is for sure, it hurts to wait patiently for that person, one who never seems to realise your presence, and it hurts even more, when you choose to be silent as the wind.

You might be thinking, why did I choose such a topic all on a sudden ? It's because, I faced the same dilemma some days back, I was so lost in my quest for that dream, that I had overlooked this small but crucial lesson, offered by life, here I must admit, that I was being a fool and now I feel sorry for the mistakes I made. But I was lucky in a way, mostly people stay silent about this type of delicate issues, but Life decided to give me a second chance, I was made aware of exactly what-it-was that I was overlooking, and some how I managed to rectify my ways.

Today I'm sitting happily, feeling warm in my heart, thinking that although life dose'nt give many opportunities, but if I take the ones that is on the offing, I can be a happy soul, specially if I end up making the correct choice.

So the next time, when you choose to be lost in your dreams, just take some time out, and look back, maybe, just maybe, there is someone waiting, and feeling the same way as you...

Love - Is it Freedom ? or, Posession ?

Him that I love, I wish to be free, even from me. - Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Love, its such a over whelming and pretty feeling, but did you ever gave a thought, to this fundamental question ~ Is it freedom ? or, is it posession ?

Well if you ask me, i'd say Love is freedom, I hate imposing things, and specially when it comes to the one I love, I mean the one I love should be free from all kinds of barriers.

I've seen relations turning stormy, just because of that simple glance your girl/boy friend exchanged with that beautiful stranger on the road. I feel its so childish ? I dont know how these people start such a relation based on so little trust. A relation specially a Love relation should be based on trust, and we should all respect this fact ~ that the one who loves us true, will always be there with us no matter what, and the ones that do want to break free, will go away, no matter what you do, they will go away, no matter how much you keep them from staring at others, who apparently are more beautiful than you.

Once there was a butterfly in my palm, but I let it flew. Not because I don't love it but because I wanted it to enjoy with the flowers & the bees. Keeping it in my palm won't make it the best butterfly it can be. So from a distance I'm happier watching it fly & play in the garden while the sun is still shining because when the rain comes, I'll know if it truly loves me, it will fly back to me. ~ I read this some where on the internet I dont know who wrote it, but it truly echoed exactly what i had to say.

In the end i'd say - If you Love someone give 'em the freedom to find their way and silently see whether it leads them towards or away from you, because after the moment when all is said and done, you'd be contented to know, that atleast, you did not force Love...

Life In A Shopping Mall

Summer's back again and its that time of the year when we take turns flocking different shopping plazas or malls just to be under the wraps of that sweet feeling, bone chilling, A.C, no shopping, no eating, just pure chilling out. Its really a effective way to beat the heat and spend some time in comfort when the roads outside are definite hot pans.

If you ask me I've spent my time hopping different shopping malls, I've seen people spending their time with a wide variety of people starting from their older than the oldest buddies (the ones that we refer as being our chaddi friends) to the new girl they chatted up on the internet. It sure beats the heat and it also beats the prices of costly coffee shops in the city.

These shopping malls have also become a nice place to spend that quality time with your hubby away from that sneaky little neighbour of yours, ohh how you hated that that next door aunty when she came to the roof and ruined that perfect setting - Sunset on the horizon and you in the arms of your hubby. Those days are gone for good, but the fact remains that, though these shopping malls remain a good pick among Lovers, but there is a sense of insecurity, of being caught by your all hip and happening relatives, and if that happens God save you.

Now don't think that a shopping mall without that special one is a complete "jerk's idea". These shopping malls has something to offer to each one of us. It is a good place to meet that old friend whom you didn't meet for some time now, it also offers a perfect setting to do some harmless flirting, trust me it does, I've seen people doing that pretty often although the consequences may vary, starting from a mean look to a straight and painful SLAP across your face. Strangely enough, I've also seen people doing their home work or studies that don't need much of a concentration, personally I feel they are a bit mentally unstable, I mean how can you pull off a tricky maths being inside such hustle and bustle ?

But yes one thing is for sure as the number of Shopping malls increase so will our need to spend our time there I mean its a bargain where you don't have to spend even a paisa and still get to enjoy the comforts of a nerve soothing A.C. So let us all pray that the Shopping malls grow in numbers just for providing us the pleasure of beating the heat.

Life - What is it all about ?

Life - Whats it all about ? is it about the mistakes you make ? or is it about the glorious moments that you have ?


Down below is what i feel about life

Lessons from life

Something good, something bad
Something nice, something sad

Had some faith but lost some fight
Made some mistakes but learnt something right

People say I’m too young and just too naive
But I’ve learnt a lot learnt it all from my life

I dont know about others, but surely i believe that life is a mixture of all those small, small moments that we either refer to as being happy or sad. Judging by my journey so far i must admit that although times might be hard and trouble may seem the only constant in your life its only temporary, not many things stay forever in this world of ours.
