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!
