Sabbatical...is it?

The small talks, the giggles, the laughter, daily events, heart breaks, work, friends, the phone talks, comforting, consoling, giving hope, sharing your secrets, promises, being there....Share all this and than realise that it was all only to become strangers AGAIN!

 

There are these people who chose to be in their 'Sabbatical" than confront situations. The sourness left behind in such events and false relationships can never be fixed...Nonetheless the hope you lose in all relationships... Thanks to the people who enjoy leaving others in despair and confused.What goes around comes around, and it should. Though I hope for the best for all my 'Friends' I wish someone breaks their trust (just like they did) only for them to realise the pain, discomfort and the agony caused...

 

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. 

~Elisabeth Foley

 

People change and forget to tell each other. 

~Lillian Hellman

 

Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you're really strangers.

My baby

He kicked me...and it felt amazing,

His hiccups made me laugh....

His hunger made me crazy..

His presence makes me "Me"

 

He reminds me of what I am

and gives me reasons to be happy

someone who i know can feel

exactly what i wanna be!

 

I can feel the power God bestowed on me

And I forget all my failures

Coz i know if I can bring life to earth

I can be all I want to be...

 

 

 

 

 

True

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
 

Love is worth It

Two butterflies were in love........ .

 

One day, they decided to play Hide n Seek.......

 

 

During the play.....

Boy Butterfly - "A small game within us"

Girl Butterfly - "OK"

 

Boy Butterfly - "The one who sits in this flower tomorrow early in the morning..... that one loves the other one more....."

Girl Butterfly - "OK"

  

Next morning, the boy butterfly waits for the flower to open so that he

can sit before the girl butterfly does......

 

 

 

Finally, the flower opened.....

 

What did he see???

 

 

The girl butterfly had died inside the flower.....

 

 

 

She stayed there all night......so that early in the morning..... .as soon as she sees him.......she can fly to him and tell him how much she loved him........

 

 

 

 

LIVING MIGHT MEAN TAKING CHANCES, BUT THEY ARE WORTH TAKING

 

LOVING MIGHT BE A MISTAKE, BUT ITS WORTH MAKING

 

 

April Girl

Always Merry An April Girl

Praise the spells and bless the charms, I found April in my arms. April golden, April cloudy, Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy; April soft in flowered languor, April cold with sudden anger, Ever changing, ever true -- I love April, I love you.

Poem by Ogden Nash

 

For the Men...

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 achievements

One, 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 name

One, 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...

 

 

Doubtless Faith and Dependency

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather cross my back terrace. Several times it was confronted by obstacles in its path and after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour.

At one point the ant had to negotiate a crack in the concrete about 10mm wide. After brief contemplation the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked across it and picked up the feather on the other side then continued on its way. I was fascinated by the ingenuity of this ant, one of God's smallest creatures. It served to reinforce the miracle of creation. Here was a minute insect, lacking in size yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome. But this ant, like the two-legged co-residents of this planet, also share human failings.

After some time the ant finally reached its destination - a flower bed at the end of the terrace and a small hole that was the entrance to its underground home. And it was here that the ant finally met its match. How could that large feather possibly fit down small hole? Of course it couldn't. so the ant, after all this trouble and execrising great ingenuity, overcoming problems all along the way, just abandoned the feather and went home.

The ant had not thought the problem through before it began its epic journey and in the end the feather was nothing more than a burden. Isn't life like that!

We worry about our family, we worry about money or the lack of it, we worry about work, about where we live, about all sorts of things. These are all burdens - the things we pick up along life's path and lug them around the obstacles and over the crevasses that life will bring, only to find that at the destination they are useless and we can't take them with us!

Dream on..if u dare to!

Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.

 

 

If You Don't

If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it.
If you don't ask, the answer is always no.
If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
If you don't have a dream, you'll never succeed.
If you don't stretch, you'll never have it.

Reasons!

" Reasoned Actions make seasoned men"!

 

I've always believed actions of people as the best interpretors of their attitude and mind. While on my trek in the last few days i've realised sky diving must be easier, as u 've left all results on destiny! Just because others think some thing is incorrect does it mean it is??? Just because everyone will not agree to your decision ...does it mean you are wrong??

 

I've come across some people who are so scared to be themselves, to be what God created them....Silly!!

 

I am proud that I know, no matter whether the world agrees or not...I 've my supreme powered Friend and Father figure with me always. He will guide me & allow me to be "Me"!

He will never run away or leave me in despair...thats trust!!

 

Its difficult to make a new beginning with nobody..but this is exactly when you become your own best friend!

 

 

 

Insensitivity!

Some days ago, our most senior management was to decide of our newly established organization's core values. My new CMD, an man with insight, sensitive & sensible, and a leader to stand by his words, instantly said..that our one core vaue has to be " Keeping our Promise"...i could see some frowns and some clueless faces in the room...didnt mean too much to me either but than I thought MAYBE he was right!!!

 

Not too long from that day...in the middle of my rocking ride through life...I am realising that truly, "Keepin up our Promises" is not as simple as it sounds...just the same way, we repeatedy keep doing the same thing after saying a "Sorry"!!!!

 

My very good friend did not turn up today when i needed him...i m not angry but just getting confused on the priorties that others hold today...It's letting the present go by, without realising it is precious and that we need to be more sensible to our surroundings and people...

 

we can spend time on the internet but not call someone and talk, have a party where people comeby only for free alcohol but not spend time with someone who is really forward to meeting us, bother about all the people who are trying to impress us without knowing it may only be a past time for them....where else someone else is passing time only to hear the phone ring to know how u r doing??

 

Life has changed...and change is the only constant in life..I dont like this and the way some people r around me!!

 

Some people actually think that 'crying' and being verbal is some peoples past time...but they fail to realsie that not everyone can do it...probably not even they themselves!!!

It's changing my complete perspective to life and affecting me in ways I could never ever think...

 

 

But than...

 

If you Love something...

Set it free..

If is comes back...

It is yours!

If it doesent....

It never was ....

 

Among Life's rocky ways...there are very few thing we need to survive...we make life complicated by wanting and greeding more....

Appreciate Life , for it has a purpose and a meaning...Appreciate the love that someone gives u, you are blessed to have....Look around and u'll find people starving for attention...

 

Every new beginning comes from other beginnings end...Begin somewhere!!!

 

 

 

Value of Action

I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. 

     ~John Locke
 

I Love you...

I've always been a firm beleiver of 'communication', 'talking' and talking the heart out.

 

I still remember the last time I saw my Dad in front of me...He screamed at me for something and I got very upset and like a normal pampered spoilt bratt I didnt talk to him...i was ignoring him! Before we went to bed that night, he came to me and said "Sorry"! I still didnt talk and slept...not realising ...that were his last words to me...EVER!!

 

Next morning while i was still sleeping he left home to go to work and never returned...he suffered a heart attack and brain haemmorhage and left for the distant world....

 

I can never stop thinking what if i had smiled at him one last time and said "I love you Dad, Thank you for everything" or maybe just a "Good night" No one has complimented me as genuinely as he always did...of how he thought i looked best without any make up, or how he would say i look very good in whatever i wear...

 

Ever since than...i promised myself i will say whatever i want to...not waiting for a tomorrow! Especially tell someone if it is something good..if i think i like them, or i think they are amazing, or they look beautiful, they have done a amazing job....i will tell it!

 

Inspite of such conscious efforts i know how many times i just dont speak up and i know it is bad.

 

I take this post as a opportunity to tell all the people i know who are reading this that i am happy to have crossed paths with you and you have a special place in my heart...Thank you for being there and i hope you know that u can count on me as much i do on you!!

 

To all others who are reading try telling a "Thanks" or a "Sorry" or "I love you" to someone who means a lot to you...who has participated in what you are today...

 

Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst.  ~Willaim Penn


Time is the longest distance between two places.  ~Tennessee Williams

 

 

People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.  ~Douglas Yates
 

Nice one...

Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.

Beautiful Truth

"You know the Buddhists believe that sometimes when everything is in turmoil, it's because something wonderful is ready to be born and that thing is distracting you so it can have some privacy during the birthing process." 
   ~Maya

Nice thought!

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. 

    ~Confucius
 

 

Having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night is a very old human need. 

    ~Margaret Mead

Thought for the day!

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today.  Have you used one to say "thank you" or "I love you"!

  ~William A. Ward
 

Dreams can come True!

Dreams can come true,

Look at it Baby...u know u want it

U know u gotto have her....

 

Have you had a time in your life, when you felt you've had this moment earlier & you know what's gonna happen next....I have!

There are moments that I feel...I've been through this earlier and I kinda know & feel what is gonna happen next.

 

Dreams are a future we want to live and we need to work towards it today!

 

 

"There is more to life than increasing it's speed"!

-Maya

 

"The way to love anyhting is to realise that it maybe lost"!

-Maya

Larger than Life!

I believe there are somethings larger than life; maybe a dream, maybe a person or maybe a relationship.I am at the turning point of my life...i m evaluating myself, trying to understand & working hard to be independent.......in every aspect! God works in mysterious ways...Everytime I am in a fix I can feel the indirect ways in which He gives me cues.

 

Hope i can go through this phase...and handle it well!

To Give up...or Not!

I Read the following lines but still...today i've decided to give up on something....though he following lines sound good!

 

Never Give Up On Anything

Its Madness -
To hate all roses, because you got scratched by one thorn.
To give up all your dreams, because one did not come true.
To lose faith in prayers, because one was not answered.

To give up on your efforts, because one of them failed.
To condemn all your friends, because one of them betrayed.
Not to believe in love, because someone was unfaithful.

Remember that, another chance may come up.
A new friend, A new love, A new life.

Never give up on anything!

Food for thought...

Trouble is part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough. 

 

~Dinah Shore
 

 

Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else.

Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute. 

 

~Josh Billings
 

 

Thought for the day!

If you were going to die soon

..... and had only one phone call you could make,

who would you call ......

and what would you say? ......

 

And why are you waiting??

Expectations

Our Expectations

A turtle family went on a picnic. The turtles, being naturally slow about things, took seven years to prepare for their outings. Finally the Turtle family left home looking for a suitable place. During the second year of their journey they found it. For about six months they cleaned up the area, unpacked the picnic basket, and completed the arrangements.

Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all agreed. After a lengthy discussion, the youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home. Although he was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined, cried, and wobbled in his shell.

He agreed to go on one condition: that no one would eat until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle left.Three years passed and the little turtle had not returned.Five years â Six years… Then in the seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and began to unwrap a sandwich. At that point the little turtle suddenly popped out from behind a tree shouting, "SEE I knew you wouldn't wait. Now I am not going to go get the salt."

Lesson Learned:
Some of us waste our time waiting for people to live up to our expectations. We are so concerned about what others are doing that we don't do anything ourselves.

Quote for the day!

"Sometimes we must be hurt in order to grow".

We must fail in order to know,

We must lose in order to gain,

Simply because...Some lessons are best learnt through pains.

If Only...

If Only....

 

You would Know what you mean,

You could listen to my heart,

You could hear something unsaid,

You could be around,

You could comfort me....when i needed it

 

I miss our times together...laughing & Talking,

Please dont hurt me....it really feelds bad!

But not many guys understand tis...

Special someone...but sweet nothing!

I feel i can connect to people! I think I can do what i want...Is this confidence, over confidence or a will to do something!

I think it is "Me" that gets to think about things & people ina way that may not be necessarily be understood by all...but than That is my essence, me as a person! B'coz someone or some people dont understand me , should i think different...I dont want to!

 

There are special people, we cross paths with...some stay, some leave & some are present but yet far off...i believe there are realtionships that are too special to be forgotten and too important to let go off!!

 

Take life your way, Dont get swayed off by it!

It is too short to repent forever!

Dont Quit!!

When Things go wrong

As they sometimes will

When the road you're trudging

Seems all uphill

When Funda are low

And debts are high

When u want to smile

But u've to sigh

When care is pressing you down a bit

Rest If u must

But "Dont You Quit"!
