THINGS ''NOT TO DO'' ON VALENTINE DAY!!

2009-02-13T22:16:00.000-08:00

Well, everyone of us know what to do on valentine's day, but many commit errors which might have sounded a little insane, but they are grave errors!!

Here are a few "not to do" things to remember on valentine's day:

1. Do not wish just one girl/boy on valentine's day. Wish as many as you could and make it simple( you cannot know on which side luck strikes!)

2.Do not let the other people know that u are wishing everyone else. Make each greetings unique !

3. Do not leave comments on her/his blog or anywhere on her/his public web pages. Instead write stick notes and paste it on their car door handle(where only she can see it) or any where creative(not on her office seat or on her dupatta!lol!!)

4. Have people to greet overseas? Do send them a voice mail(again internet messages sucks!) saying that u are thinking about them(even if it was a lie).

5. Try not taking her out on valentine's day. Instead do it the next day or the day after(if u are successful) and explain to her that every moment with her is a valentine's day, not only Feb 14th!(Man, she will fall for this one!)

6. Valentine's day is celebrated every year, not like the Football world cup which comes once in four years! So, if you couldn't get any dates this year, you might next time!!

7. Treat yourself one valentine's day(Self love is the best love!). Don't shower her with your over love!! Do greet others over the phone to show that there is a world without her!( for relationships with attitude!)

PS : These rules apply to only those who are single. Married/committed people, play safe!

The Colours Of INDIA

2008-08-15T05:18:00.000-07:00

The Colours Of INDIA

"Tamils"are always proud to be Tamizhs; Pretty courteous (that is what they think, at least!). They speak yenglish but sorry, no indi (Hindi)saar...what da??.The more common Madarasi (chennaisi..., now?) is an ardent fan of kireeketmatches.

Their counterparts in Bombay think they live in America but speak Hinglish like ...are you sure ki Sujata aa rahi hai ya Ill go akela!" And
they take great pride in making stupid mistakes in Hindi Grammar.

Thamizhs, are verrry lecky to have "simble" neighbours in the "keralites"who are a komblex race of peoblle (they migrated around 2000 B.C. from the middle east, I guess; and now even the Sheikhs feel wary of them) but they eat a lot of chooclyte and own 99.998765% of chai shops in the world and form 99.89% of nursing community.

Not far begind the kerals is the "telugu desam", who are totally againesht flaunting their wealthu to the woruldu, though they occasionally come out withu brick red shirtsu and parrot green pantsu Generally sane peoplesu (and so you can always findu them judgingu, probhingu, queschioningu othersu ....)

The Canadians, excuse me, the "Kannadigas" aor (are) the coolest dobun When it comes to Rajkumar (actor), if a fly sits on his nose,
they'll burn the entire city of Bengaloroo to kill the fly! To hell with
Silicon valley ! I-ron, firshtu, girlu, Lasht Bussu, roadu, crickeatu,
filamu are some of their favourites.

"Maharashtrians" are a conservative, confused, complex lot-kar. -Kar, that is because gavasakar, tendulkar, bahulkar,.. confused that is because sitting in southern part of India they would ask the other person "are you from Maharashtra or from south India ..?" and genuinely wonder why the other person takes some time to answer the question. They like the principles of pheejix and their favourite character in the alphabet is Zay (god knows where that came from). Although soft, peace loving people but they elect the shivsena to rule them.

And right there next to the Maharashtrians are the "Gujjubhais". They like to keep kes in the benk and their favourite past time is eating snakes(snacks)like paav bhaji, masala papad and pijja at the local snake bar. They gobble down palak sev like their life depends on it and believe in the brotherhood and sisterhood of man and woman (everybody is a bhai or a ben).

If you go further eesht, the land uf Udissa - the land of irron ("r"
unsilent) where sombalpuroa and Bhubaneshbara are big towns. The people are bery cordial and if you are Vikram they bill soorly ask your name starts from B or Bhe. They do not sout, sam or soot but occasnally bawsh their phace at the wasbashin. James Bond Mohanty in our colleze had a roll nomber jero, jero,sebhen.

Bengalees

are bery bery similor, but or bery proud oph Subas Chondro Boash and Shoatyojit Roy (I used to know a director by name Satyajit Ray who was also pretty good) and eberybody is X da. I used to habe a friend by name.Dada. Bonder...neber mind. Bot I most conphess, Roshgollas are bery goooood, tho!

Bihari kids are supposed to be the smartest kids in India (if not in the universe!). How we wish they grow up the same way,...but... And Biharees are bery phond of Laloo and Ranchi , isse bhadiya tumre pass koochi hai kaa?! spit spit...

Punjabis are very sweet and aggressive and offer Rotti Shotti Khayega! to which I once replied No. He said Tage itu, yaar! By Godu! Surjeetu, what happenedu, oi?!. Then of course, everybodys a paappe or a kaakke. Thats Pnjab for you.

And Kashmir (called Cashmir by many, may be because of the amount of cash spent to keep it in India )?!? I know Roja (or Roza?)was shot (I mean filmed) somewhere nearby...

But at the end of the day, wherever you are in the world, whether it is in
Sunnyvale , CA ; Birmingham , UK ; UmmAl Quwain, UAE or Serangoon Road ,
Singapore , ask them who they are and you'll get just one answer ---
"INDIANS"

AFTER ALL HUM SAAB EK HAIN!!

First Time Love......

2008-06-16T22:10:00.000-07:00

For the first time in my dismal life

I feel love flow in my heart
the same heart once thought cold and lifeless
fills with glorious joy and happiness
because of a man
whose spirit is full of passion
he brings happiness to my sad existence
I have never know love until now
because of the way he touched my heart
took hold of my depressed soul
and showed me the beauty of life's wonders
everything that i thought impossible
all seems to be within my grasp
I see everything in a new light
because of something I thought unworthy to feel
to feel love's tender kiss
and I bask in its beauty so
because of the feelings of a man,
whom I would love now and 'til
my heart beats its final note to life's great song.......

Can We Still Be Friends ?????

2008-06-15T22:07:00.000-07:00

I was cold and hurting
lost out in the night
wandering and searching
for heavens light

I saw the night sky clearing
when you spread your rainbow wings
but little did i know
what joy you would bring

From the moment on
a friendship did start
you kissed away my tears
and sheltered my heart

I bless the day GOD
sent him from above
but then i grow fearful
for i had fallen in love

I told you this feeling
You said you liked our friendship
amd that's how it would stay

I cried for a friendship i thought i lost
but then felt your warm ,gentle hand
that by my side you'll forever stand..........

Can I Love You......?????

2008-06-14T22:07:00.000-07:00

I gave my heart to you
i set my standards high
i laid my eyes on you
i laughed and cried with you
i told you my hopes and dreams
my love and fears

My tears i shed all over your shoulder
in the end
i came to see that you were
the only guy i could ever trust
when i see you
my face lights up with asdiration and happiness
when we talk s from you

i have the feeling of love in my heart
in my mind i say "you dont mean a thing"
in my words i say "{you are just a friend"
but in the deep end of my heart
i think of only you

when i tell you my expectations of a guy
you tell me never to fall short of what i want
but only one thing stands in the way-
you are a friend.

Can I still love you the way that I do??????

Until We Meet (by Syreeta Elie)

2008-06-13T22:07:00.000-07:00

Until we meet
My nights will be a little colder
My days a little shorter
My heart will beat a little less rapid
Until we meet
I know that my arms will be empty
My mind hurting from the constant thought of you
Minutes will seem to be hours
Hours will seem to be months
While months will seem like eternity
Until we meet
The stars in the sky will not affect me
with its gleaming sparkles of life
Until I am gazing at them in your arms
And the food that I eat will not be as fulfilling and nourishing
Until it is you that I share the my food with
And Until we meet
I will not feel whole
My world will seem incomplete
Until that wonderful day
When our eyes make first contact
And our bodies and souls collide in blissful whirlwind
The words will roll off my tongue like a sweet love song
"Hello, my love, I couldn't wait to meet you."

You Were Not There......

2008-06-12T22:07:00.000-07:00

I heard your voice calling me at night,
your presence was in the air
I let you come near and hold my hands
and take me anywhere
you held me tight as i started i cry
and told me not to fear
you said you'd never leave me again
forever you'd stay near
with new hope emerging in mind
i hooked into your eyes
the pain in my heart had melted away
i'd forgotten all your lies,
i hugged you,and i closed my eyes
thinking about love and care
i opened my eyes to awake from the dreams
i saw you were not there.........

The Viking......

2008-06-11T22:07:00.000-07:00

A powerful radiance is felt instantly,
flames of passion dance in his eyes,
he makes my heart ache with desire
his words are music to my soul
that fill me with love and longing,
his mind holds the wisdom of the ancients
his heart holds compassion and love
his lips holds a promise of sensual delights
his arms provide security and warmth
he is humble as a begger on the street
yet as noble as a viking chief
there is a sense of mystery about him
but his life he has opened for me to see
he is truely a wonderful and amazing man
he is the best of all my dreams
i will love him throughout eternity
with not part but with all that is me.........

Love Massage 4 You

2008-06-09T22:04:00.000-07:00

I love you more than the heaven,
more than the stars.
Your beauty is greater than one thousand red roses.

And I want to thank you
for bringing the splendor of a
garden full of roses to my life.

When you're near I forget all my strife.

You changed my life for the better,
and I treasure you
and our love.
I truly believe you
were sent to me from above.
I know it's not nearly enough,
but here are one hundred and four roses for you.
In celebration of our love.

Wherever you go;
No matter what you do,
Remember that I love you!

An Aproach

2008-06-08T22:04:00.000-07:00

Lull me love, into a deep, mahogany sleep,
And cease the breath past the oceans deep.
Wine my eyes, so startled, fixed, in sane.
The glories lost, the lustrous cravings plain.

Flare my heart with psalms and elegies.
The tainted harp and hushed melodies.
Oh! Trace my grace in solemn solitude,
In meadows grey and darkening quietitude.

For dead is the soul, the heart in agony pays.
The reminiscence of those doting days.
The hearth, now ashes, warmed the icy manes.
�Tis gone!� they cried, �tis all but in vain.�

The gloom entraps the world of seasoned calm,
No virtuous morn can now afford a balm.
I in grave, the world round me� live
The fate of care, alas! is but to die.

Deep Love Delight

2008-06-07T22:04:00.000-07:00

In the bright moonlight,
with no fear or fright,
I'll show you all my heart,
with my deep love and delight.

Its better for you to go with me,
It'll give you a moment light,
to think about the times to come,
which'll give our bond strength and sight,
with my deep love and delight.

Don't procrastinate your any thought,
It'll make you future out of the sight,
just do whatever you think is right,
But,I'm here to look for you,
with my deep love and delight.

I want you to be with me,
all the day and all the night,
to share my feelings which I've for you,
I'll give you every moment of my life,
with my deep love and delight.

Deepest Desire

2008-06-06T22:04:00.000-07:00

So the breaking dawn of my love begins
As the sun sets in the West
I am overwhelmed with a burning desire
A desire locked down deep inside
One that cannot be concealed anymore
I long for one sweet kiss to quench my thirst
I long for one tender touch that will last a lifetime
At the end of it all you are my deepest desire!
I love you not today nor tomorrow but forever!

STORY OF A LONELY GIRL LOOKING FOR LOVE.

2008-06-05T22:00:00.000-07:00

I walk past your door
I send a special prayer
To the room we both adore
And though my mind is in there with you
My body takes me home.

I wish for a love
But have none of my own

So welcome me love
My name is lonely
I tell you boy
I think of you only

In times when we have trouble
And we left each other down
I know we can make it babe
Just as long as you�re around

So welcome me love
My name is lonely
I tell you baby
I think of you only
only ..

Wondering

2008-06-04T22:00:00.001-07:00

When night is drawing near.
And in the shadows of your room
The walls around you disappear.
I wonder if in your quiet thoughts
Your dreams of me are anymore.
When in the silent, velvet blue
The moon is tapping at your door.
I wonder if the shining stars
That dangle from the clouds above
Reminds you of my whispered words
In promise of eternal love.
I wonder of the lonely light
That breaks upon the early dawn
Still holds a tender memory for now
So long I have been gone.
I wonder if you dream of me
When the cloudless skies are blue
Because across each day and night
My thoughts are constantly of you.

DEEP INSIDE MY HEART

2008-06-04T22:00:00.000-07:00

I wish I had the strength to tell thee
About all the things that scare me,
But one thing I know is true
Is that I can never have you.
For a few long years I have known you,
For a few short months I have loved you.
There is something I cannot decide,
How should I really feel inside?
I think of you all day and night,
And people say "it?s just not right".
Because what I feel comes from inside,
This is something that should not hide.
To me you say that I am only a friend,
But that friendship will last until the End.
But to me you are indeed so much more,
In fact the one I?ve been waiting for.
Oh how much I wish that you could see
You are the right one for me.
I know you may not want to know,
But I must tell you that I love you so.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH....

2008-06-03T22:00:00.000-07:00

Thoughts of you run through my head
Every minute, every hour, of everyday
At night I wake with such a fright
Dreaming of you not being there
What would I do if you were gone
You are thought of in every emotion
When I smile it is because you have brightened my day
When I cry it is because you are not there
When I frown it is because you are sad
When I laugh I am laughing with you
When I am happy it is because I know you are there
Please know you are my reason for living
You are in the deepest part of my heart
Just remember and always know,
You are the love of my life
No one else means more to me than you!

Read But Write More...

2008-06-02T22:00:00.000-07:00

Read But Write More,
Talk But Think More,
I Promise You Will Succeed For Sure.
Order But Serve More,
Quarrel But Agree More,
I Promise You Will Be Loved For Sure.

Endless Dream...

2008-06-01T22:00:00.000-07:00

Another day had pass,
my feelings are still the same.
It has been a while,
since I've said your sweet name.

Why is it like this?
What did I do wrong?
When will these feelings end?
I've waited far too long.

My thoughts are fading,
the answers I can't find.
Oh! how can I get,
you out of my mind?

The words are running out,
there's nothing else to do.
But to wait and to hope,
that I'll get over you.

Can my heart move on,
without another tear?
Will my emotions heal,
if you come near.

If these feelings die,
as it flows to the stream.
Will I ever wake up,
from this endless dream?

My Dream

2008-05-30T21:57:00.000-07:00

I wanted to see the world

through your eyes,
a world happy and cheerful,
I wanted to make you
my life eternal and lasting
where happiness would be lasting
I wanted to dream of
an existence with your presence
where love would be perpetual
I wanted to see the world
smile thorugh your smiles
where smiles would surpass the sorrows.
I wanted to sing a song in your name
the name that would live forever
I wanted your nearness and
the warmth from you.
where your presence will never end
I wanted to become a part of you
and you a part of me.
when we will remain undivided...

I Dream Of

2008-05-29T21:57:00.000-07:00

I dream of... A life without pain...
I dream of... Love that I can't explain...
I dream of... Eyes not plagued by tears...
I dream of... A soul without fears...
I dream of... A pure, unbroken heart...
I dream of... A hope of never growing apart...
I dream of... The smile on your face...
I dream of... A better place...
I dream of... The things I could never do...
I dream of... A dream of you...

It Is Love

2008-05-28T21:57:00.000-07:00

You have filled my heart with your
laughter & my life with your love.
Its notes are compassion, strength &
patience Its melody...your smile.

I know the day will come when the
final "goodbye"is whispered...
Never could such painful words be
spoken aloud. When never again will
I hear your song & my heart
will beat only in silence...

Today...I bask in your sunshine
I dance in your smile your music
fills me completing me for a time
no matter how short
I sing your song And it is Loud and
Bright It is LOVE!

Paint My Love

2008-05-27T21:57:00.000-07:00

From my youngest years
Till this moment here
I�ve never seen
Such a lovely queen

From the skies above
To the deepest love
I�ve never felt
Crazy like this before

Paint my love
You should paint my love
It�s the picture of a thousand sunsets
It�s the freedom of a thousand doves
Baby you should paint my love

Been around the world
Then I met you girl
It�s like coming home
To a place I�ve known

Paint my love
You should paint my love
It�s the picture of a thousand sunsets
It�s the freedom of a thousand doves
Baby you should paint my love

Since you came into my life
The days before all fade to black and white
Since you came into my life
Everything has changed...

A Vision

2008-05-26T21:57:00.000-07:00

I close my eyes & I see
her standing next to me
In all her lovely grace
A beautiful vision is she

Her face is of a beauty
Always smiling never a frown
Her spirits are ever rising
Always going up never down

She winks at me as I look
At the mystery in her eyes
She holds me spellbound
I love her thats no surprise

That vision I hope to meet
For I love her so much you see
Come meet me tonight my love
A vision no longer you'll be

Miles Apart

2008-05-25T21:53:00.000-07:00

I wish I could wipe
your falling tears away,
As you bravely smile through your pain
You see me suffer,
Then you break down and cry
Miles apart
In your dreams
I softly kiss you,
No one can see the pain,
That we both feel inside
Miles apart
You whisper I love you
And I whisper to the skies,
I love you too
When will this pain ever go away
Even though we are
Miles apart
To be by your side
Is a dream I can't deny
But I will wish for it to come true.
I miss you so badly
My heart is breaking
As we cry
Miles apart

But Thy

2008-05-24T21:53:00.000-07:00

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow�st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander�st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow�st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

O mistress mine! where are you roaming?
O! stay and hear; your true love�s coming,
That can sing both high and low.
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man�s son doth know.

What is love? �tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What�s to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty;
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth�s a stuff will not endure.

My Life, Soul & Breath

2008-05-23T21:53:00.000-07:00

Born were I and you apart
Never did know so where we were
And time came now for us to know
That, chosen were we for being one.

We laugh and cry and then again
Get back to life with bliss at full
To love and love and take care of
Is all that life we know about.

My dear, my love my breath and soul
Glad am I for the gift you are
Would never have I, my life so full
Had not you been my chosen one.

Silent

2008-05-22T21:53:00.000-07:00

Time stands still

Stream of thoughts flow
Ponder over absence conspicuous
Stuffed the living daylights out
Immeasurably distressed
Aching for a look
At the glowing incandescence
Gaze enough to make the heart go aflutter
Whereabouts unknown
Unceasing search for lost love
Reminisce over years of glory past
Cornucopia of moments spent
In the womb of Mother Nature
Alike innocent baby's smile cherubic
Mingled harmonious within
Pain away flies distance far
Oodles of happiness abound
Nearness the panacea
Fragrance of Heavenly Presence
A virtual Sparkle Of Delight
Hand Of Temptation passes by
Silky tresses of Hair
Weave a spell of magic inextricable
Imprinted in depths interior
Tucked into arms sublime
Cozy and Comfortable
Elatedly Exuberant
Heavenly Bliss in Dollops
Worth weight in Gold
Burst into Life with Chromatic Purity
Cup Of Happiness to the brink
Wherever you are
Breeze in to get the world rocking
No one to share the solitude
Pangs of despair and gloom
Loom large over life's ken
Heart pines for boundless intimacy
Timeless is the bond shared
United forever in a span of life

If someday you don't want to talk to anyone

2008-05-21T21:53:00.000-07:00

"If someday you don't want to talk to anyone,
Call me,
I'll not ask you to talk to anyone.
But, I can keep quite with you.
If someday you want to run away,
Call me,
I'll not ask you to stop.
But, I can run with you.
If someday you feel like the happiest moment of life,
Call me,
Definitely, I'll not make you sad.
But,
If someday you call me,
And,
There is no reply.
Please, come very soon
Perhaps, I need you....."

NOT JUST A BETTER-HALF

2008-05-20T21:53:00.000-07:00

She's my love, she's my life

So dear to me, she's my wife
Life we have to live this world
Is full of joy and bliss all bold.
Mirror she is, I see myself
Solace in her I find when down
Mentor to me, I learn all time
Happy am I, she's born to me.
Chores she does, chorus we sing
Duo's we do all work with fun
I pass my arms then through her hair
Care she feels from me all while.
Home we built, a fortress it is
Base that's firm on love so true
Family that prays together all way
Life its full that's heaven on earth.
Me myself, in her heart I found
Not just my half but all my full
Life would never have been so full
Had never she spent this life with me.

My One True Love

2008-05-19T21:44:00.000-07:00

As I awaken, each and every day
Thoughts of love turn to you
An unbreakable bond between us two
A special love ever so true
The warm glow in your eyes
The sweet smile on your face
Makes me want to hold you
Forever in love's tender embrace
The gentleness of your touch
The sweet passion of your kiss
Just a couple of many pleasures
I longingly so miss
The sound of your voice
Is like a song in my heart
Always bringing me happiness
As it has done from our start
We've shared many joys
And also felt some sorrows
Yet our future is filled
Of wonderful tomorrows
So, until that bright day
Far away such as it seems
You shall always be my one true love
The woman of my dreams

Love Is

2008-05-18T21:44:00.000-07:00

More beautiful than roses
Much deeper than the seas
Stronger than a hurricane
But timid like a breeze
Real as in a picture
But yet it can't be seen
More beautiful than anything
As vivid as a dream
Precious as rare jewels
A bond between two hearts
A symphony of feelings
When time is spent apart
Sharing common interests
Working through all fears
Looking at yourself
As if two were in the mirror
Finding common ground
On issues not agreed
Giving into arguments
Tending all your needs
Being there for always
Is all I want to do
Holding you forever
Because our love is true

I Miss You So Much

2008-05-17T21:44:00.000-07:00

I miss you so much
today I was blue
I watched the time
and kept thinking of you
Our time together is special
there's nothing else that compares
I miss you so much daily
to you, my love I share
I hope we will be together soon
so I can hold you in my arms
I have your picture in a locket
you are my lucky charm
For now I'll miss you
but I know you will be here for me
My heart is warm and glowing
as I wait for you patiently

you

2008-05-16T21:44:00.000-07:00

DREAMS ARE NEVER FULLFILLED
STILL I LOVE SEEING U IN DREAMZ
YOU ARE PART OF MY HEART
MY SOUL IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT U
I LIVED EVERY MOMENT FOR U
AND THIS IS THE REASON
WHENEVER I TURN
I FEEL YOUR PRESENCE

Until I Found You

2008-05-15T21:44:00.000-07:00

The first time my heart was broken,
I thought I was through.
I swore I'd never love again,
Until I found you.

You are the one who makes me complete,
The one I think about everyday.
Everytime I'm near you,
I start falling in more than one way.

You may not know this,
But you've always had my heart.
I just wanted you to know,
That I've loved you from the start.

You make my heart beat faster,
With every breath I take.
I know I'm in love with you,
Trust me, this is not fake.

The first time I fell in love,
He ripped my heart in two.
Forgive me if I seem scared,
I just don't want to lose you.

The first time my heart was broken,
I thought I was through.
I swore I'd never love again,
Until I found you

Moments Of Love

2008-05-14T21:44:00.000-07:00

When all world play'd foul with me

And folks of my own forsook my hand
In those moments of utter despair
My love had been my strength

When I turned up ecstatic, having done a new verse
Found no one on earth to applaud for me
In those moments of disappointment
My love was there to stand by me

When I saw people making love to each other
Thought how blessed everyone's, but me
I found her in my arms the moment I so thought
Her lips on my own, making love to me

Never do I want to wake up, if it's dream
Never could I endure it being untrue
Or let me flee to the domain of angels, where
Every dream of yours is made true

My life's but the pillar of hopes
Made up of stones of the moments aforediscrib'd
If those moments be refused to me
What cause shall I have to abide the life

The moment I weep she weeps with me
Her bliss in my joy does rise and grow
Why on earth should I not sustain
Sweetest, those moments of love!

Sard Raaton Ki Tanhaai Mein..
Hum Teri Yaadon Ke Chirag Jalaye Bethe Hain,
Kabhi To Tum Zindagi Ki Haqeeqt Banoge,
Sochkar Palkon Mein Khwab Sajaye Bethe Hain!

Tumhare Saath Ke Lamhe Har Waqt Sata-te Hain,
Ab Tumhare Aane Ki Bus Aas Lagaye Bethe Hain,
Aankhon Mein Ashkon Ko Ab Rok Nahi Pate,
Ki Dil Ko Bilal Sambhale Huye Bethe Hain!

Kaash Tum Mere Dard-E-Dil Ko Samajh Paao,
Hum Jo Seene Mein Abhi Tak Dabaye Bethe Hain,
Par Woh Jo Humse Dard Bayaan Nahi Karte,
Rehkar Khamosh Konsa Raaz Chhipaye Bethe Hain!

Khushi Bhale Thodi Si Par Dene Ke Liye Shukriya,
Paigam Tere Bheje Huye Seene Se Lagaye Bethe Hain,
Hai Ek Tasveer Bhi Nighahon Mein Teri,
Bus Ab Usiko Mann Ki Murat Banaye Bethe Hain!

Tujhe Yaad Karna Teri Raah Takna Hurdum,
Sab Bhulakar Ab Yeh Ek Naya Kaam Liye Bethe Hain,
Janti Hon Tujhe Paane Ka Anjaam �E-NaaZ�,
Phir Bhi Hum Naadan Tumhi Se Dil Lagaye bethe Hain..!!

You Are My Heart, My Hope, My Help

2008-04-12T22:07:00.000-07:00

You are my heart, my hope, my help,
The passion that is me,
The whole of which I am a part,
My peace, my ecstasy.

You are my future, present, past,
My ship, my sail, my ocean,
The wind that brings me home again,
The home for every motion.

You live within me, yet I am
Without you all alone.
With you I am full of light;
Without you I am stone.

Is this foolish? Yes, perhaps,
But also it is true.
I think of life as something I
Can spend with only you.

Ah, my love! Love longs for such
Sweet celebrants as this!
Love is a burden and a joy,
Slavery and bliss.

This day of love come love with me,
Come sing with me my song.
Come be my Valentine, and I
Will love you my life long, my love,
Will love you my life long.

Why Newton Committed Suicide...

2008-04-09T22:13:00.000-07:00

Here is the reason.
Why Newton Committed Suicide.....

Once, Newton came to India and watched a few Tamil movies that had his head spinning. He was convinced that all his logic and laws in physics were just a huge pile of junk and apologized for everything he had done.

In the movie of Rajanikanth, Newton was confused to such an extent that he went paranoid. Here are a few scenes

1) Rajanikanth has a Brain Tumor which, according to the doctors can't be cured and his death is imminent. In one of the fights, Rajanikanth is shot in the head. To everybody's surprise, the bullet passes through his ears taking away the tumor along with it and he is cured! Long Live Rajanikanth!

2) In another movie, Rajanikanth is confronted with 3 gangsters.
Rajanikanth has a gun but unfortunately only one bullet and a knife.

Guess, what he does?

He throws the knife at the middle gangster? & shoots the bullet towards the knife. The knife cuts the bullet into 2 pieces, which kills both the gangsters on each side of the middle gangster & the knife kills the middle one.

3) Rajanikanth is chased by a gangster. Rajanikanth has a revolver but no bullets in it. Guess, what he does. Nah? not even in your remotest imaginations.

He waits for the gangster to shoot. As soon as the gangster shoots, Rajanikanth opens the bullet compartment of his revolver and catches the bullet. Then, he closes the bullet compartment and fires his gun.
Bang... the gangster dies...

This was too much for our Newton to take! He was completely shaken and decided to go back. But he happened to see another movie for one last time, and thought that at least one movie would follow his theory of physics. The whole movie goes fine and Newton is happy that all in the world hasn't changed. Oops, not so fast!

The 'climax' finally arrives.
Rajanikanth gets to know that the villain is on the other side of a very high wall. So high that Rajanikanth can't jump even if he tries like one of those superman techniques that our heroes normally use. Rajanikanth has to desperately kill the villain because it's the climax.
( Newton dada is smiling since it is virtually impossible?)

Rajanikanth suddenly pulls two guns from his pockets. He throws one gun in the air and when the gun has reached above the height of the wall, he uses the second gun and shoots at the trigger of the first gun in air. The first gun fires off and

the villain is dead.....................

Invictus

2008-04-08T22:11:00.000-07:00

By William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbow"d. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Lies but the horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.....

Each morning I would get up

2008-04-07T22:09:00.000-07:00

Each morning I would get up
And the most beautiful smile would look upon
I would be hugged and kisses were meant to make my day happier
My tiny hands could just be able to clutch the fingers
And I would be lifted to get the whole of the touch
This touch is so amazing
The day I am born onwards I can make out the difference
The care and nurture is showered upon beyond comparison
With no expectations as a return
The eyes are clear and crystal
Which reflected just one thought
You are from within me, and I will nourish you

My hands are no longer tiny

I've stopped running around her
Have started keeping secrets
Gotten myself strangers as friends
Whom I claim understand me better than her

Yet, when I see her, her eyes show the same clear and crystal affection

It has gotten no less than it were the very first day, she saw me
Or five years back when my world meant how she saw it

With the hands I too grew vertically

Crossing the threshold of adulthood long time back
She has now dreams being cultivated of seeing me all dressed up at the D day
Like she always saw me as an angel
But I have different lines to follow
Every thought becomes a contrary factor
I've grown old according to me
I can take control of my decisions
People I have, who yes indeed understand me better
Coz I didn't give her a chance to look into me

I distanced myself for I couldn't express

I knew she would be in a dilemma
As how to respond to what I feel

Years gone by, I and she are like complete strangers

She begs to accept the stranger and make her the closest confidante
Coz she knows I've grown bitterness over the years
And now am venting it all up whenever I can

Her eyes sparkle at the very thought of me

Her day starts and ends with my being
But the headstrong me, who can't allow intrusion into my self
Coz I've changed, am no longer her sweet kid
Day by day, my convictions about certain things enforcing way to be concrete

Times have been when out of concern

She spilt the beans before somebody
It was told in complete confidence
And now it was out

The days I've lashed at her

The poison darts that pricked her each time i had something to tell her
The tears she hid from me
The unreachable hands she always extended towards me
The me walking past her without any reflection

Here I sit each moment with just one thought coming across

I am nothing without her
I would have been long dead but for her
I need her as a backbone
For she means everything to me
My being, my self, my touch, my thoughts, my life

Even though I need to cover several miles to reach her

Which are all self created
Maybe I prefer it that ways
Yet, I have all songs to sing for her
I have all smiles that belong to her

I wish to be a tiny girl

Unaffected by the sudden changes around
I wish to be carefree and drown all my inhibitions
I wish to clutch the fingers yet again
For they give me the security i seek

One look at her face and I know she's absorbed everything

Making me numb for as long as I'm with her
The joyous days and minutes spent together
In celebration of the biggest joy of the world
A mother and daughter can enjoy

The lending of the key to the door

Which always has a welcome note
That says I can walk in any day I'm troubled
The crystal clear, glistening eyes in await of me
The wonderful touch I look forward too
The warm her I love snuggling next to

Despite the extra miles I created
Which I need to cover

Sometimes of which I feel, one look is enough to talk a lot
And other times I feel
Feelings beyond words always keeps me around her

WHERE DID SHE FIND THE TIME

2008-04-07T06:21:00.000-07:00

WHERE DID SHE FIND THE TIME
by Dori Bushee

Where did she find the time
that she so willingly shared,
making sure that every day
we knew how much she cared.

Where did she find the time
for all the cookies she would bake,
never once ever complaining
about the work that it would make.

Where did she find the time
to make our house a home,
and fill it up with love
so we"d never feel alone.

Where did she find the time
to wipe away our tears,
and teach us to be strong
overcoming all our fears.

Where did she find the time
to have a moment to herself,
while she was taking care of us
and thinking of no one else.

Where did she find the time
and always know just what to say,
other than being who she was
because Mothers are just that way!

To My Valentine, with All My Love

2008-04-05T22:06:00.000-07:00

To my Valentine, with all my love,
Of whom I cannot say enough in praise:
May my love for you sufficient prove,
Yearning to redeem your caustic days.
Vortices within may drag you down.
Anchor, then, in my serenity.
Love saves some who otherwise might drown,
Embarked alone upon their Galilee.
Nor should you deem your own love not enough
To be the chapel to which I retreat
In search of a pavilion for my pain.
No love is love unless it be a seat
Enchanted, where a stone might weep again.

Valentine's A Day to Say, "I Love You"

2008-04-04T22:05:00.000-07:00

Valentine's a day to say, "I love you,"
A ritual that stages something real,
Letting out the truth of what I feel
Even as I think it often of you.
Nor could I with such grace without this day
Tell you that I'm grateful that I have you,
Impress upon you just how much I need you,
Needing such a frame for what I say
Even as I would my heart reveal.

It Is You I Dream Of

2008-04-03T22:05:00.000-07:00

By J. R. King
A flower grows from beneath a blanket
Of fine and purest white
It reaches toward the sun for warmth,
For heat and for the light

My love for you grows stronger still,
Despite the surrounding cold
My heart is yours, bartered gone
For yours has it been sold

Its petals shine from morning dew
Its stem grows stiff and strong
It stands strong through the freezing cold
It stands the winter long

I long for you, for your soft touch
I miss the way you smile
The longer that we stay apart
The longer every mile

The flower stretches through the snow
It reaches toward the sun
And now without you the color is gone
The flower's petals, dun

But as we talk, and as we learn
The flower comes back to life
The snow now melts and goes away
As you take away my strife

Spring is here and growth abounds
As you and I are one
We are together, we are in love
The snow for now is done

I see the future, in dreams I have
Of our life, long and true
I see the times where all I need
Are comforting words from you

I see the times when winter comes
As winter tends to do
But we still love, and we still live
And I do still love you

And so we live, with children ours
And a life of much to see
With love we live, to live we love
Happy together are we

I see the flower, older now,
But still strong with fresh new leaves
I see it growing, tall and strong
Reaching to the eaves

We are now old, as years have passed
But old together are we
And strong our love still today
As strong as it can be

agar tu na milpai mujhe to sochkar guzar dun zindagi,
agar tu na milpai mujhe to sochkar guzar dun zindagi
ke aashiqui kismat me nahi,
iske alawa aur kya karun mai,
mauth ko gale laga na chahta hun mai,
mauth ko gale laga na chahta hun mai par kambakhat milti hi nahi,
ai khuda bata ise paane ke liye kya karun mai,
mushkilo me hun ghire firta hun darbadar is ummed me ke milegi woh mujhe ek din,
jina to nahi chahta hun par,
jina to nahi chahta hun par,
par is dilko manane ke liye KYA KARUN MAI.

Stealing Something

2008-03-17T00:23:00.000-07:00

What is stealing?
lost property officeStealing is taking something that doesn't belong to you.
It may be keeping something that you have found without trying to find who owns it.
It may be copying heaps of stuff from a book or from the internet, and pretending that it is your own work in the project that you are doing.
* Did you know that there are copyright laws to protect people's published work, whatever it is?
It may be taking something from home without permission from mum or dad or whoever owns it.It may be copying a CD or DVD so that you don't have to buy a new one.
Why people steal
People steal for lots of different reasons.
* They want something and can't afford to pay for it.
* They think no-one will notice that it's missing.
* They think that someone has heaps of stuff, so it's OK to take something from them.
* They feel angry about something.
Sometimes people steal because they want…
* to impress their friends
* to be part of a group
* some attention from friends, family or the teacher
* to feel excited
* to get back at someone.
How it feels to have something stolen
It doesn't matter whether it is a big or a small thing that is stolen – the effects are the same.
What if you have been very careful about naming and looking after all your pencils, pens, rulers, etc. and you find that someone has taken some of them.
How would you feel?
stealingWhat if you had just saved up enough for a new bike and someone stole it?
How would you feel?
What if you have a really great idea in class, and someone else tells everyone about it as if it were their idea?
How would you feel?
What if someone broke into your house and took lots of things from your family?
How would you feel?
What if you woke up one morning and had to be late for school because someone had stolen your family's car?
How would you feel?
What if you're the person stealing?
Stealing can have lots of consequences for the person who is doing the stealing.
* You may feel ashamed and upset.
* You may feel afraid in case you are found out. This feeling can last for years, and even if you're not found out, you will know that you have stolen something.
* You may have to hide what you've stolen in case someone finds out – so it's no use to you anyway.
* You may get into trouble with other kids, parents, teachers or even the Police.
* People may not trust you in future.
stealing * You could lose friends.
* Friends' parents may think you are a bad influence on their kids, and you won't be invited to their houses.
* You may be banned from a store if the owners think you are stealing.
* Being caught can be very embarrassing.
* You may feel nervous about doing the stealing, but even afterwards, you will never be sure that you have got away with it, so you still feel nervous.
* Feeling nervous and upset can make you feel very unhappy.
How to help your friend
If your friend is stealing or trying to get you to steal, there are things you can do.
* Tell the friend that stealing is wrong. He may get upset with you, but you need to let him know how you feel.
* Tell one of your trusted adults. This is not dobbing, this is trying to help your friend stay out of trouble and learn what is right.
* Don't hang around with someone who steals, because you could end up in trouble too.
* Make sure that you and your friend hang out with positive people.
* Don't ever join in with stealing. It's not cool. It's stupid. Just look at the people who spend most of their lives in jail because they steal from others. Is that where you want to spend your life?
What kids say
"Once I let a girl borrow my new doll for a while. When I came back it was gone. We found it at the bottom of her bag. I never trusted her again." – Ashleigh
stealing"Six years ago my dad's bow and arrow was stolen. There was a big hole in our roller door. We had to get an automatic roller door." – James
"Once when my dad was mowing a lawn someone stole his wallet, mobile phone and credit card." – Luke
"Stealing is not right. It hurts people's feelings too, especially when it was something special from your family. – Tegan
"Some thieves broke in to my grandma's house and stole two DVD players." – Elizabeth
Stealing other people's ideas is wrong.
Taking other people's stuff.
Everyone who steals should go to jail.
Anyone who steals loses friends.
Lying about taking things is bad.
– Louis
Stealing is wrong, stealing is bad,
Stealing is something that makes me mad.
Stealing a present, a book,
Or someone's bag hook.
Stealing is bad and we all know it.
But people in jail never show it.
– Andrea

What is Love !!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-03-14T01:01:00.000-07:00

A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back.But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."
The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders….may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one… but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he starts to realise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, "…this is love… you keep looking for better ones, but when later you realise, you have already missed the person.

Justification

2008-03-08T23:09:00.000-08:00

I opened my plated hair

Put a bow and clip
Needed to justify
I gave the box a glance
Lifted the lid and ate chocolates
Needed to justify
I didn't write the homework
Took a page and drew a doll
Needed to justify
I went to the violin class
Instead of the handicraft class
Needed to justify
I wasn't at the park
Games didn't enthrall me
Needed to justify
I pepped my face with the vanity case belongings
Mom looked beautiful always
Needed to justify
I refused to sing
Dance doors were making the call
Needed to justify
I took on art as a form
Others expressed well
Needed to justify
I finished off the book
Rather sleeping
Needed to justify
I hopped onto the world beyond
Smiled all alone
Needed to justify
I lay on the bed
Blinking away in the darkness
Needed to justify
I quit with all of them
The frequencies didn't match
Needed to justify
Iwent out for lunch
It took four hours
Needed to justify
I visited the virtual life and got hooked
Reality didn't appeal me much
Needed to justify
I found names to faces
Which stabilized my rocketing pace
Needed to justify
I search in the mysteries of the unfound
Missed it despite having it
Will one day feel the need to justify

The Parent

2008-03-05T04:26:00.001-08:00

You cared for me when I was young with tender love and care.
You gave me food and shelter, and some clothes for me to wear.
When I was tiny, you would read me stories every night.
And then when I was fast asleep, you'd tuck me in so tight.

And every day, right after school, you'd be there just to say,
"How was school?" and then I'd tell you all about my day.
And when I had some problems in my life, as children do,
You always seemed to understand. It wasn't new to you.

And at my graduation, you were standing in the crowd,
And when they called my name you smiled and cheered for me so loud.
And now that I have grown, I've seen you ripening with age,
And soon within the book of life, you'll reach your final page.

I know that you need care, but I have children of my own.
So I'll just say goodbye, and then I'll send you to a home.

A TRUE LOVE STORY

2008-03-05T04:25:00.001-08:00

A real story happens to a girl in chennai recently.. must read

Her name was Priya. She was hit by a lorry. She is working in a call centre. She has a boy friend named Shankar. Both of them are true lovers. They always hang on the phone. You can never see her without her handphone. In fact she also changed her phone from Airtel to Hutch, so both of them can be on the same network, and save on the cost. She spends half of the day talking with shankar. Priya’s family knows about their relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya’s family. (just imagine their love) . Before she passed away she always told her friends “If I pass away please burn me with my handphone” she also said the same thing to her parents. After her death, people cant carry her body, I was there. A lot of them tried to do so but still cant , everybody including me, had tried to carry the body, the result is still the same. Eventually, they called a person who know to one of their neighbours, who can speak with the soul of dead person , who is a
friend of her father. He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly.
After a few minutes, he said “this girl misses something here”. then her friends told that person about her intentions to burn her with her phone. He then opened the grave box and place her phone and SIM card inside the casket. after that they tried to carry the body. It could be moved and they carried it into the van easily. All of us were shocked. Priya’s parents did not inform Shankar that Priya had passed away. After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya’s mom. Shankar :….”Atte, I’m coming home today. Cook something nice for me.Dont tell Priya that I’m coming home today, i wanna surprise her.” Her mother replied….. “You come home first, I wanna tell you something very important.” after he came, they told him the truth about Priya.
Shankar thinks that they were playing a fool. He was laughing and said “dont try to fool me - tell Priya to come out, i have a gift for her Please stop this nonsense”. then they show him the original death certificate to him. They gave him proof to make him believe. (Shankar started to sweat) He said… “Its not true. we spoke yesterday. She still calls me. Shankar was shaking. Suddenly, Shankar’s phone rang. “see this is from Priya, see this…” he showed the phone to priya’s family. all of them told him to answer.he talked using the loudspeaker mode. all of them heard his conversation. Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming. It is the actual voice of Priya & there is no way others could use her SIM card since it is nailed inside the grave box they were so shocked and asked for the same person’s (who can speak with the soul of deal perosns) help again. He brought his master to solve this matter. He & his master worked for 5 hours. Then they discovered one thing which really shocked them…

The clearing is dim from the slight rise of a full moon.

Edges of the woods throw a shadow of their presence.
In the deep shadows of the woods she sits and waits.
The ritual is nightly, long and lonely, but she waits.
Small animals scurry in and around the clearing,
But her hunger is not physical, it goes much deeper.

On the far side of the clearing rests a small lake.
High banks of rocks and trees surround one side.
The full moon has fully left her place of rest and
shines brightly casting full shadows now.
At the edge of the lake on the highest rise,
a figure moves slowly towards the high edge of the water.

She raises her head to sniff the air but stays calm.
Is it he? Her heart pounds hard with possible excitement.
She watches as he climbs the highest point of the rocky edge.
Taking a careful step backwards as to not disturb this moment.
His figure is a silhouette against the great moon.
He sniffs the air as if he seems to know he is not alone.

A fog has settled on the lake, lite and wispy.
She has edged farther in the shadows to witness
this ritual and remember a moment in their past when
it was routine to play in a meadow and not think about
what was expected of them as alpha's, heir to their thrones.

Not knowing one choice could change their future.
He stands and looks around him thinking of his pack,
knowing his responsibility, but his heart is stripped.
The spirit to lead is gone. He only wants to walk away.
Something is missing in his life. Something he missed maybe?
The emptiness in his soul is as vast as the night.
The loneliness in his heart as deserted as the clearing.

He takes a step forward and eyes the night sky.
The moon shines so brightly. He looks about him,
"This is my home, this is where I live and hunt.
Why is it such a stranger to me?" Again he looks
towards the night sky and there he sees a glimmer.
The evening star winks back at his gaze. " I remember... "

He raises his head and brings forth a low sweet howl.
It echo's off the hill sides and down the valley.
Again he repeats the sound, not knowing why he makes the call,
but it does seem to help ease a longing he's felt for so long.
Going back to a time when his soul and life was free of such pain.
"Can the spirits hear my plea of the past?"

She turns her head to the sound, so strange and so familiar.
It draws her forward as it did the first time she heard him.
Brushing aside a bush, the white petals of a Cherokee Rose
softy float around her. It is spring, a time of beginning.
Stepping forward into the silvery glow of moon light,
she proudly watches him speak to the night.

Going back in time, she remembers a night like this,
the very first time she came upon this lake.
Following small herd of mustangs who had lead her to this spot,
she had witnessed him standing alone upon the rocky rise.
The sound of a howl chased away the ponies,
but sight of him took her breath away.

The time is late and she has to go.
"Time to go my beloved soul mate" Star whispers
"but I shall return on the rise of the moon."
"I love you"

**Now that it's all said and done,

I can't believe you were the one

To build me up and tear me down,

Like an old abandoned house.

What you said when you left

Just left me cold and out of breath.

I fell too far, was in way too deep...

You took a hammer to these walls,

Dragged the memories down the hall,

Packed your bags and walked away.

There was nothing I could say.

And when you slammed the front door shut,

A lot of others opened up,

So did my eyes so I could see...

Some nice qoutes....

Life is the first gift

2008-02-19T21:42:00.000-08:00

Life is the first gift,
Love is the second,
Understanding is the third.

Sometimes, we think of why friends keep
forwarding mails to us
without writing a single word........
Maybe this could explain why..........

When you have nothing to say,
still want to keep contact,
guess what you do,
you forward mails.

When you have something to say,
but don't know what,
and don't know how,
guess what you do,
you forward mails.

When you have a lot to say,
and don't know why,
guess what you do,
you forward mails.

When you are still wanted,
when you are still remembered,
when you are still important,
when you are still loved,
when you are still missed,
guess what you get
A Forwarded Mail.

So dear friends and family
next time if I forward you a mail
don't think I have only sent you a mail
but I've remembered you in my heart.

Dreaming of You

2008-02-19T21:41:00.001-08:00

Late at night when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I wish on a star that somewhere you are

Thinking of me too

Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight

Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me

And I wonder if you know I'm there

If you looked in my eyes

Would you see what's inside

Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close

But so far all I have a dreams of you

So I wait for the day

And the courage to say how much I love you

Yes I do!

I'll be dreaming of you tonight

Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Corazón

I can't stop dreaming of you

No puedo dejar de pensar en ti

I can't stop dreaming

Cómo te necesito

I can't stop dreaming of you

Mi amor, cómo te extraño

Late at night when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I still can't believe

That you came up to me and said "I love you"

I love you too!

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight

Till tomorrow and for all of my life

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room dreaming of you endlessly

Dreaming of you tonight

Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room

I'll be dreaming of you tonight

Endlessly

And I'll be holding you tight

Dreaming...with you...tonight!

Light of the Lamp

2008-02-18T23:09:00.000-08:00

I stared across the lamp less street
In hope of finding one, where my eyes searched
The focus couldn't go further, for the darkness haloed over
At one moment I thought I'd better give up
For today no fire flies are there too, who could guide me along the way
I rest by the grand tree across the street
Wishing some one could lead me to the way
Something from within had two opinions to sound
The red thing said, I should return
The grey thing said, its somewhere near
Wonder why the red thing gave up so soon
For I heard the grey thing, and I could see something at a distance
I prayed it wasn't a mirage,
For I am nowhere in the desert
Its my mind I wander
And the lamp being the beholder of my life
The grand tree being my memories
And the fire flies my well wishers
Someone up above heard my prayers
And I could find the lamp right ahead
Glistening like the brightest star
Who would light my life forever.

Out of the Box

2008-02-16T23:10:00.000-08:00

I walked by the busy road
Tall and straight and out of the box
Absentminded I crossed the road
Gave a smile to faces that pleased me
In return got some back
The warmth grew in and satiated my minds
A look back and all I could see were silhoutes
Of those who had a smile on their face a while ago
But at the back of the mind, most of the things are a blackhole
Darkness shrouded around every nerve and neuron in the grey mass
Lights of wisdom flow through every minute
But light of hope is long dead
Twitching of muscles cannot evoke the senses long lost
In the jungle of the fast scurrying life
Engulfing every known redened soul
I stretch my hand to reach the figures
Open my mouth to give a call
All that I hear is a gasp
The narrowed eyes searching hazily for the feelings
The yearning growing stronger lap by lap
What darns me was, I was never noticed
Neither anyone else was
The faces were all pale and distant
Imagination grew by folds
And what remained was
Being out of the box

Just Wanna Say..................

2008-02-11T05:16:00.000-08:00

Just Wanna Say..................

Across the Miles,
You have bought me Smile………..

You have wiped my tears by lending an ear...
Although my voice u have never heard...
You have listened carefully to my
Thoughts
My feelings
My words
And I want You to know,
That I m glad
That we have meet..
Coz my heart is
Happy deep down inside..........

And you are a treasure my friend
And that’s not a lie..
Thanks for your friendship
And thanks for being YOU..........

Love Comes Through the Eyes That See

2008-02-10T01:42:00.001-08:00

Love comes through the eyes that see
And through the ears that hear,
For people are quite beautiful,
And words make feelings clear.

Love comes through the hands that touch
With unabashed affection,
For only skin-to-skin can love
Maintain its true direction.

Love comes through the tastes and smells
Of fresh and well-cooked food,
For in the gift of nourishment
Is much else that is good.

But though love comes through senses five,
Love comes from the heart,
For there resides the greater love
Of which ours is a part.

Will You Be My Valentine

2008-02-10T01:41:00.000-08:00

Will you be my Valentine?
I know that I am yours.
You are like a tossing sea
And I am like your shores.

You are like an endless wave
And I your waiting sand.
And I will wait forever as
You come and smooth my hand.

I will wait forever, yet
You are a part of me.
I hold you in my arms, while you
Come to me endlessly.

Will you be my Valentine?
I know that I am yours.
I love you with a love that yearns
To be your golden shores.

Here I sit preparing myself for the day

2008-02-09T23:03:00.000-08:00

I keep postponing the event Have been thinking for long How long would my clinging onto help me Yes I need him for as long as I’m sane But maybe it’s suffocating him I keep telling myself it’s been long I’ve tagged around Making him dread of the start of each new month When my calls would reach him For me each month brings an equal dread That perhaps finally he would ask me Why am I so bothered about his well being? It’s so hard to tell him I care As I always used to, but its loosing its charm Breaking and pulling away That’s what I think With no firm source to confirm So that for once I could leave and move away But it’s so tough even to think What would happen to me after that? I would completely loose myself I lay crying in the wee hours of the night Listening to ‘Under My Umbrella’ Wishing to be soaked deep down in the rains For once he would break his silence And the night after night, I hug myself The storm inside me, finding roads to come out The silent tears I hide from everybody Each day I think, I should go ahead with the plans But next month I need to write my papers The next to it, I need to wish him for the New Year Next I need to wish him on his birthday I need to give myself space and time But only if he would break his silence Which he has donned into Wonder why he has no questions to ask me Why he understands it all Yet refuses to even shun it It’s the distance that keeps holding on Making me feel incapable to make a difference In his smile and his life For once he said I am a dear one And he is glad we came together I wish to break free Of the thoughts that keep haunting me forever I don’t want to loose him But I want to see whether he’d come back for me Yet I don’t have the courage To go ahead and make the decision Am already lost and grief stricken I would rather pain myself more Than seeing him getting hurt I would rather bash myself Than seeing he hit by the ways of life All for the friendship I count in him All coz I cared too much All coz I restrained stray thoughts making my way And developing something new For I knew some wild turn would ruin all that we have had And nothing else would matter Is what I don't wish to feel Here I sit taken the decision Which grew along with the prose Embarking the New Year And has taken its final shape One last call of acquaintance The silence and remorse Beginning to overwhelm inside And bring a lump in the throat So strong he could understand And ask this time Only if he did understand months later When I would have let go him Which I hope, but docile wishes go unheard The last question was asked The Wish I wrote, did it mean anything Which got the answer, feelings are long dead now And I have nothing to say Its not the way I had imagined I want to heal now And I want to feel forver Coz i believe in FOREVER... Which exists in the tamed mind of ours

A flower that gives life

2008-02-06T23:04:00.000-08:00

A flower that gives life, Blooms even in harshest adversities, Thats" what the name means. The bud enveloping the petals so firm Inside lies the secret of life giving power The juices all white and transparent No colour biasing and no taste preference Wherever it positions, creating a climber to hold onto For the other that is in need The other may not even have to whisper Just turn around and give one soulful look Perhaps that may too not be felt There are strong vibes that flow through Of energy at one end, and synergy at the other The flower that is not infested by pests Which seemingly keep targeting its stalk Like the sun advancing the day, and intensifying its glare Year after year, the reach of the flower expanding by folds The roots gaining more of ground, The bark thickening with a strong turf And the richness being savoured by many All forming a network of links Chained together for as long as one can remember Its the flower that gave life

Apna nahi kahte

2008-02-02T21:18:00.001-08:00

muhje deewana kahte ho ye tum achchha nahi kahte
samjdar admi auro ko bhi aisa nahi kahte

samaj me aa nahi sakti kisi ke mahsalat unki
muhje apna samjate hai par apna nahi sakte

wah fir barbad hi karde magar dil le to le mera
mai har kimmat pe raji hu muhje sauda nahi kahte

jo sach puchho to unse to hamare haq me gair achchhe
bura bhi to nahi kahte agar achchha nahi kahte

abhi aaye abhi fir chal diye par khair aaye to
magar fir aise aane ko to hum aana nahi kahte

wafa karne jiske aapko itna taqlluf ho
na hone ke barabar hai ise vada nahi kahte

jo sakhti se kisi ki kham hui gardan ko kya hashil
ise hum kufr kahte hai ise sajda nahi kahte

unhi ke muh lagane se badhi agiyar ki himmat
wah jab diwana kahte hai to wah kya-kya nahi kahte

apni kaha kismat ki ji yu hi jara khoosh hokar
samajate to hai wah apna magar apna nahi kahte

Everything to Me

2008-02-02T21:11:00.001-08:00

You are the light when there is no sun.
You are the rainbow after the rain is done.
You are the star that twinkles in the night.
You are the moon that glows so bright.
You are the wind that whistles my name.
You are the love when the world is the same.
You are the flowers the bee's never miss.
You are the beach the warm sun kisses.

WHICH IS BETTER.....FORMER OR LATTER?

2008-02-02T21:09:00.001-08:00

Dad used to give us a measly Rs. 20/- per month,

in that we were not only able to eat stomachs fill,

but we were able to save too!!!

Now we earn a sum of 20K, we have no idea

where it goes, let alone saving it!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

6 subjects per year, 6 different teachers!

One project since we joined

and just one manager!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

We used to make notes;

we used to study for ranks!!

Now we scan thru our mails;

we struggle for our ratings!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

We have still not forgotten the people

in the next section!!!

Now we don't even know who sits

in the next cubicle!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

After getting back from a tiring play,

we used to do our home work!!

Now who knows/cares about home;

all we do is just work!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

We knew our history and economics!!

Now let alone reading books,

we don't even catch up with the daily news!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

We had an aim in life;

behind our backs we had our teachers!!

Now we have no idea about the

future nor do we find any

one who would tell us anything!!!

Now just ask yourself,

which was better,

the former or the latter????

Have you ever been lost in the mist?

2008-02-02T21:05:00.000-08:00

Have you ever been lost in the mist?
Have you ever found temptation so hard to resist?

Have you ever tried to cry, but your tears don't seem to bare?
Have you ever wondered why life is never fair?

Have you ever loved so much you thought you would die?
Have you ever questioned the reasons why?

When words don't seem to matter anymore
And a heart is nothing but an open door

When you let someone in, only for them to walk right out
Was that your fault? Is that what love is about?

Why are decisions sometimes so hard to make?
Why is a heart so easy to break?

Sometimes I think that love is just a lie
Because you learn the truth as time passes by

Heaven is merely a footstep away
Do you live for the future, do you love for the day

Do you prey for the moment or the road ahead?
Do you lye in misery all alone in your bed?

Loneliness is sometimes better to keep
To avoid the world before you fall to deep

I often want to give up this fight
It doesn't change my fears, I fear both day and night

To be broken like a window, shattered like glass, to let in the rain
I can't bare the cost I won't take that pain

So ill walk away and think of nothing but sorrow
And hope my days are brighter, ill look forward to tomorrow

Have you ever . . .

Personal Quote:

2008-02-02T21:03:00.000-08:00

1: If you want to know how people look at you, stand in front of the mirror. What you see, people see same.

2: Life span is too small. So do not waste it in anger, fight. Live every moment as if there is no tomorrow.
Life ends & one leaves the world physically but leaves lasting good memories in heart of loved ones as well as leaves a little smile & sweet memories on clean few (may be very SMALL NUMBER) friend's face & in their hearts. I am working on incrementing this
NUMBER every day. (My personal Belief).

And Always Remember..

2008-01-22T05:15:00.000-08:00

Somebody cares if you're happy today,
If your heart is cheerful and light.

Somebody cares if you're feeling good
And everything's going just right.

And somebody hopes that this message will show,
In a warm little heart-to-heart way..

You're thought of, remembered,
and happily wished an especially wonderful life !!!

And tht person is Me...........

JUST FOR You

2008-01-22T05:14:00.000-08:00

JUST FOR You

JUST FOR You Decide to be happy today, to live with what
is yours - your family, your business, your job. If you can't have what you like,
maybe you can like what you have.

Just for today, be kind, cheerful, agreeable,
responsive, caring, and understanding.
be your best, dress your best, talk softly, look
for the bright side of things.

Praise people for what they do and don't criticize them for what they cannot do.

If someone does something stupid, forgive
and forget. After all, it's just for one day.

Who knows, it might turn out to be a
nice day!

Fried Eggs..........

2008-01-22T05:13:00.000-08:00

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.

Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.

"Careful," he said,

"CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD!

You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW!

We need more butter. Oh my GOD! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER?

They're going to STICK!

Careful...CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL!

You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up!

Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt.

USE THE SALT! THE SALT!!!

THE SALT!!!"

The wife stared at him.

"What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

The husband calmly replied,

"I wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving."

Positive Attitude Development

2008-01-22T05:01:00.001-08:00

Is Attitude Development Important?

Whether we like it or not, our attitude towards life can have a significant impact on the quality of life. By learning how to listen to our inner selves, we can figure out how our inner thought process works and how it may have a bearing on the way we deal with stress in our daily lives.

A lot of people discover that their internal dialogue is largely negative. If you find yourself thinking such thoughts as “What if I fail?” or “I could never accomplish that,” then you do not have a positive attitude. This can affect every single aspect of your existence.

Whenever we encounter stress, certain hormones in our bodies are activated. When produced on occasion, these hormones are no big deal. But when one’s body is constantly producing such hormones, then serious damage can be done. Cardiovascular disease is one of the long term effects of the continual production of stress based hormones.

The key to avoiding stress and the negative thoughts associated with it is to remember who we are deep down inside, outside of our momentary emotional lapses. For most individuals, the transition to a positive attitude consists of numerous small steps. Let us take a look at the ways that attaining a positive attitude towards life may be accomplished. We will start with one of the most basic fundamental human needs – sleep.

How does Sleep Impact Attitude?

Sleep is the key to the maintenance and improvement of one’s energy levels. It also helps to maintain the body’s immune system, while vastly improving the emotional and mental clarity one needs in order to focus and maintain a positive attitude towards life. Whenever you feel good, you function a lot better – and one cannot feel good without getting a decent amount of sleep every night.

If you have difficulty sleeping at night, you may want to try one or several of the following:

- Try to decrease activities that require a lot of mental energy in the evenings.
- Make plans for the following day.
- Take a hot bath before you go to sleep each night.
- Dim the lights and listen to soothing music.
- Do not read or watch TV in bed.
- Try sleeping in another part of the house if you have difficulties falling asleep in your bedroom.
- Listen to soothing natural sounds on a high quality listening device. This might include waterfalls, streams, waves, the wind, etc. You can order such soundtracks over the Internet.
- Turn off all the lights in your bedroom.
- Consult your doctor or pharmacist on natural remedies for sleeping such as valerian, calcium, and melatonin.

How does One Develop a Healthy Attitude?

There are many ways one might go about developing a positive attitude and thus greatly enhance his or her life.

You should keep in mind that it is the simple things in life that provide us with the most pleasure and stimulation. If you feel like you are dealing with an overwhelming amount of stress, do things that you enjoy. Relax. Go to an art gallery. Re-connect with an old friend. Listen to your favorite song, or go to a movie. Only by treating ourselves to a fair amount of free time can we hope to maintain a positive attitude.

Helping others also helps us maintain a positive attitude towards life. This can be as simple as carrying groceries for an elderly person, or as elaborate as calling your local volunteer center for insight in to community based programs that you can become a part of. Helping others enriches our lives, and thus improves our general attitude.

Ultimately, it is all about paying close attention both to yourself and the people around you. By treating yourself well, you can in turn use the energy that you save as “points” towards the pursuing of your ultimate goals in life.

How can I Improve My Day?

One of the main sources of our daily unhappiness is our inner critic. Our inner critic has been with us our entire lives. It is what makes us critical not only of ourselves, but of other people as well.

You should never allow your inner critic to overwhelm your thoughts. The most positive aspects of your thought will always come from a place of self love. Learn to accept your shortcomings as a human being, and you will position yourself on the road towards attaining a positive attitude.

A good way of keeping one’s inner critic in check is to keep a journal that records all the negative thoughts you can remember from that day. Try to think of a “flipside” for each of those thoughts – effectively turning a negative in to a positive – and write that down next to each of the negative thoughts.

Introduction of Coffee

Coffee is the most widespread drink in the world with approximately half-a-trillion cups consumed every year. There are two fundamental types of coffee: espresso and regular, or non-espresso. Espresso is the variety of coffee available in cafés and restaurants, whilst regular coffee is generally meant for the home.

History of Coffee

Discovery of coffee took place in Eastern Africa in a region that is presently known as Ethiopia. According to a popular legend, a goat herder called Kaldi, watched his goats behaving in a strangely frolicsome manner after ingesting berries from a bush. Inquisitive about this occurrence, Kaldi made an attempt to consume the berries himself. He realized that these berries provided him with a new vigor. The news of this fruit rich in energy rapidly unfolded all through the region.

Monks learning about this remarkable fruit desiccated the berries in order that they could be shifted to far-away monasteries. They soaked these berries in water, consumed the fruit, and gulped the liquid to make available stimulation for a more stimulating time for prayer.

Coffee tasting

Cupping is a technique coffee tasters employ to assess the distinctiveness of coffees. Cupping is a useful way to discover more about the characteristics of various coffees.

For cupping, a few types of fresh whole bean coffee are required for comparison along with grinder if possible a burr grinder. A tea kettle for almost boiling water, tablespoon, and porcelain cups measuring 8 oz for each coffee, silver spoon together with a cup for sputtering out the coffee are required for the purpose of cupping. Aroma is a chief constituent of taste; hence cupping should be done in the absence of strong, perfume-like smells in the air.

Coffee Categories

I wonder how many of us would realize while drinking coffee that after oil it is the largest traded commodity. And hence coffee trade is considered a global trade. Richness of soil contributes greatly to the growing of the best coffee beans. Learn how geographically divided the world is in terms of coffee growth from our section ‘How they are Divided Geographically’ on our coffeeclues.com website. Also learn about the three kinds of beans and their qualities.

It is not just enough to know the beans; the style and the right kind of roasting have to be learnt. How in different stages one has to be careful about the intensity of the beans being roasted. The fact that roasting coffee beans is an art is undoubtful. Dissimilarly roasted beans taste differently. One can choose the way of roasting keeping in mind what kind of coffee one wants to drink.

Every country prefers a different taste of coffee. Researchers have done a great deal of research in this aspect. To further complicate the preparation techniques the taste preferences vary within the country itself. Coffee industry has to thrive on these research materials to know what exactly is a country’s preference so that the exported material could match the expectations of the buyer.

The latest that people usually prefer are the blends that taste entirely different from the different pure versions of coffee. The intention is to achieve a unique flavor that can be attained easily but still remains unique.

Even flavored beans are sometimes preferred by people to get a unique taste of coffee. If you do not prefer the bare taste of coffee you can have a fruit flavored or spice flavored coffee to settle your differences with coffee drinking fad.

For those who are health conscious caffeine is the biggest factor because of which they avoid drinking coffee. But it is actually possible to get decaffeinated coffee, which would be completely healthy to drink. Know more about it in our “What is decaffeinated coffee’ section.

Coffee From Crop To Cup

The evolution of coffee from a crop to a cup is very fascinating. Growing and Coffee harvesting needs to be done in ideal situations. Not every soil responds well. In order to learn right conditions and the possibility of harvesting coffee check out our website ‘coffeeclues.com’. Even different techniques serve as important factors in coffee harvesting.

Processing plays an important role in separating the green beans from the cherries. There are two kinds of processing procedures: Natural and Washed. Natural technique includes the dry technique. Washed technique is famous for Arabia coffees. Even in washed technique there are two different mechanisms that can be employed to process the coffee beans. If you want to go for a not-much-complicated technique natural processing is the best way to choose. And that is apparently the oldest method of processing coffee.

Though all this makes it appear that coffee making is a complicated method, once learnt it is not so difficult. The case is similar to roasting the coffee beans. Coffee roasting at home is neither tricky nor bothersome; and the only thing ludicrous is opting for less than the finest coffee achievable. The greatest motivation for home roasting is that it gives an opportunity to exercise total control over the degree of freshness of one’s coffee. Or else it can also be ones hobby.

Grinding and brewing is the last process through which the beans have to go through. If you get the basic things right it doesn’t matter if you add a little twisters to make the coffee taste better.

TYPES OF COFFEE

TURKISH COFFEE

Derived from the Arabica bean, Turkish coffee is a very fine, powder-like grind. An aromatic spice called cardamom is sometimes added to the coffee while it is being ground. One can also boil whole seeds with the coffee and let them float to the top when served.

CAPPUCCINO COFFEE

Cappuccino is a strong coffee with frothy cream, topped with a pinch of powdered chocolate. The pale brown color of the coffee is reminiscent of the robes worn by Capuchin monks.

ESPRESSO COFFEE

Espresso is a black strong coffee prepared in Italian way by forcing live steam through dark-roast coffee beans. Coffee is placed into an espresso machine designed just for this purpose and hot water is forced through the coffee at very high pressure - extracting all the flavor possible.

Coffee and health

The talk on decaffeinated section brings to the aspect of health attached to drinking coffee. Caffeine in coffee is know to increase blood pressure and increases heartbeat. But recent research establishes that this effect is actually milder than what it was thought to be. On the other hand there are several benefits of drinking Coffee.

When consumed in sufficient quantity coffee drinking helps reduce the risk of developing colon cancer. Coffee, akin to wine, possesses antioxidants that aids in checking heart disease and specific types of cancers by eliminating oxygen radicals from the blood that damages cells. Benefits can be reaped only when coffee is consumed moderately.

To be aware of the amount of caffeine in coffee check out our ‘caffeine content in coffee’ section. From the types of beans to the way the beans are crushed everything determines the amount of caffeine in one-cup coffee.

Though caffeine is responsible for the short-term effect of coffee, there is a complex blend of chemicals in coffee. Therefore the speed with which one gains energy by drinking coffee will fade equally fast. Coffee if had before bedtime may delay your sleeping routine.

Long-term effects of drinking coffee include a habit-forming tendency. If it is consumed limitlessly in a day and if it becomes a habit then there are chances of a quick heart attack It can also lead on to decrease in fertility rates in both- men and women.

The best relief to all this is to avoid an overdose of caffeine. People find it difficult to stop consuming coffee with their morning cup, this generates trouble in long run. To understand what is the health y amount that you can consume check our coffee and health section.

How to Reduce Caffeine Intake?

A cup of coffee seemingly invigorates one’s senses but consumption of large amounts of caffeine which is present in coffee can adversely affect one’s health.

This is due to the fact coffee merely invigorates the central nervous system, augments the stress hormones in the blood streams, consequently causing a person to feel unusually alert. As a result stimulated alert conditions have an inclination to suppress the body’s natural impulses and stop it from unwinding. This results in unwarranted strain and causes different types of ailments. Addiction to caffeine can take place while combating strain and dejection.

Cyclic disorder

Daily caffeine ingestion causes a 24 hour cyclic disorder in one’s body.

Although a cup of coffee in the morning helps in elevating one’s mood the majority of individuals are unable to stop at that.

Nearly all those who go out for work acquire a desire for the subsequent cup and afterwards a heavy tiredness sets in by late afternoon.

Although continual cups may revitalize an individual at a specific point of time during the day, a complete collapse is predictable by evening.

Bad temper, exhaustion and depression together with an unpleasant feeling are the common indications of addiction to coffee. What is awful is that at long last when one makes an attempt to sleep away one’s depression at night, one simply cannot. That's not the concluding stage. The subsequent morning one gets up exhausted, craving for a hot cup to calm down one’s disposition.

It is imperative that people who are addicted to caffeine should reduce their caffeine intake to avoid health complications that may arise due to an overuse of it.

Gradual reduction

When individuals realize that caffeine is the source of problem in one’s diet, they should diminish their caffeine reliance status.

However it should be borne in mind that one should not take any hurried decisions of reducing all such ingestion.

In case of sudden eradication of all caffeine products from one’s diet, the withdrawal symptoms maybe excessively difficult to manage.

Consequently, one may undergo a number of the following withdrawal symptoms for example headaches, bad temper, increase of premenstrual symptoms, exhaustion, widespread muscular stress, queasiness, short of appetite, constipation, short of concentration and absentmindedness.

Hence it is vital to ensure that one should decrease one’s normal caffeine ingestion slowly. To begin with one should try to diminish one’s ingestion by half. One should keep away from the other half by substituting it with a cup of mild organic green tea or herbal tea. For instance if an individual is accustomed to four cups of coffee every day, he should begin ingesting two cups of coffee and two cups of mild green tea. Slowly one should substitute the mild tea with soup or plain hot water blended with honey and lime. Subsequently one can substitute the remaining two cups of coffee with mild tea and stick to the identical pattern.

Sea Star Fish

2008-01-22T04:50:00.001-08:00

If you've ever had the pleasure to go tide pooling then you already know that Starfish are the most popular creatures there -- especially among the younger crowd.

[photo: pink star] Tide pool excursions are a wonderful experience: the sound of surf accompanied by the refreshing sea breeze are reason enough to go. But the diversity of creatures living between sea and sand are the real treat on these trips.

At the shoreline, a certain camaraderie pervades the atmosphere. Strangers approach one another to share information about interesting finds; families with younger children ask: "Have you seen any starfish?" [like the Pink Star (Pisaster brevenspinus) to your right]; students follow teachers who are thoroughly enchanted by the tide pool ecosystem; and perfect strangers who may never meet again form close friendships while wandering in search of another unusual living creature in the small pools formed by the receding tide.

[photo: leather star] Starfish may well be the most unusual well-known creature. They have no front or back: they can move in any direction without turning. Rather than using muscles to move their hundreds of tiny legs, starfish use a complex hydraulic system to move around or cling to rocks. The intake valve for this system is generally located on the top of the Starfish, just off center, as can be seen clearly on the Leather Star (Dermasterias imbricata) to the left.

If you've ever tried to pry a Starfish off a rock, you know how effective its hydraulic system really is.

[photo: knobby star] Of course, starfish don't have to make themselves symmetrical. They can rearrange their arms any way they please in order to wedge themselves into a small nook in the rocks -- as you can see in this almost human-looking Knobby Star (Pisaster giganteus) to the right.

Starfish are usually fairly sluggish, have five or six arms and get pretty stiff when you try to pick them up. The Sunflower Star (Pycnopodia helianthoides, below) breaks all of these stereotypes. It typically has around 20 arms, moves -- practically flows -- quite gracefully across the surface, and is soft (mushy?) to the touch.

[photo: sunflower star] [photo: bat star]

Just for the record, the Starfish at the top of the page are: Ochre Star (Pisaster ochraceous), Bat Star (Patiria miniata), and Six-rayed Star (Leptasterias hexactis) respectively, from left to right. The mottled Starfish above right is also a Bat Star.

RED FORT-LAL QUILA.

2008-01-22T04:45:00.000-08:00

The largest of old Delhi's monuments is the Lal Quila, or the Red Fort, the thick red sandstone walls of which, bulging with turrets and bastions, have withstood the vagaries of time, and nature. The Lal Quila rises above a wide dry moat, in the northeast corner of the original city of Shahjahanabad. Its walls extend up to two kilometers, and vary in height from 18 meters on the river side to 33 meters on the city side.

Mughal Emperor Shahjahan started the construction of the massive fort in 1638, and work was completed in 1648. The fort sports all the obvious trappings, befitting a vital centre of Mughal government: halls of public and private audience, domed and arched marble palaces, plush private apartments, a mosque, and elaborately designed gardens. Even today, the fort remains an impressive testimony to Mughal grandeur, despite being attacked by the Persian Emperor Nadir Shah in 1739, and by the British soldiers, during the war of independence in 1857.

Entrance to the fort is through the imposing Lahore Gate, which as its name suggests faces Lahore, now in Pakistan. This gate has a special significance for India, since the first war of independence, and has been the venue of many an important speech, delivered by freedom fighters and national leaders of India.

The main entrance opens on to the Chatta Chowk, a covered street flanked with arched cells, that used to house Delhi's most skilful jewelers, carpet makers, weavers and goldsmiths. This arcade was also known as the Meena Bazaar, the shopping centre for the ladies of the court. Just beyond the Chatta Chowk, is the heart of the fort called Naubat Khana, or the Drum House. Musicians used to play for the emperor from the Naubat Khana, and the arrival of princes and royalty was heralded from here.

The Fort also houses the Diwan-i-Am or the Hall of Public Audiences, where the Emperor would sit and hear complaints of the common folk. His alcove in the wall was marble-paneled, and was set with precious stones, many of which were looted, after the Mutiny of 1857. The Diwan-i-Khas is the hall of private audiences, where the Emperor held private meetings. This hall is made of marble, and its centre-piece used to be the Peacock Throne, which was carried away to Iran by Nadir Shah in 1739. Today, the Diwan-i-Khas is only a pale shadow of its original glory, yet the famous Persian couplet inscribed on its wall reminds us of its former magnificence: "If on earth be an Eden on bliss, it is this, it is this, none but this."

The other attractions enclosed within this monument are the hammams or the Royal Baths, the Shahi Burj, which used to be Shahjahan's private working area, and the Moti Masjid or the Pearl Mosque, built by Aurangzeb for his personal use. The Rang Mahal or the 'Palace of Colors' housed the Emperor's wives and mistresses. This palace was crowned with gilded turrets, delicately painted and decorated with an intricate mosaics of mirrors, and a ceiling overlaid with gold and silver, that was wonderfully reflected in a central pool in the marble floor.

Even today, the Lal Quila is an eloquent reminder of the glory of the Mughal era, and its magnificence simply leaves one awestruck. It is still a calm haven of peace, which helps one to break away, from the frantic pace of life outside the walls of the Fort, and transports the visitor to another realm of existence.

The Red Fort of Agra is perhaps one of the most magnificent specimens of Mughal architecture which portrays their creative and artistic genius to the fullest. It took several decades to build this extraordinary monument. The credit for this work cannot be attributed to one person alone. Three emperors, Akbar, Jehangir and Shahjehan partook in the construction at different periods of time.

The first person to start a construction in the area was Sultan Sikander Lodi who named the fort “Badalgarh”. It was Akbar who tore it down and built in its place the high red sandstone ramparts, which give the fort its name. Legend says that Akbar built more than 500 buildings, palaces and pavilions overlooking the banks of the river Yamuna within the precincts of The Red Fort. These were mostly all torn down by his grandson, Shahjehan and only the “Jehangiri Mahal” still stands. The white marble palaces and courts that one sees today are mostly the work of Shahjehan.

Shahjehan completed the Red Fort, which is known as “Lal Qila” in Hindi, in 1648. The walls surrounding the fort extend for more than two kilometers and vary in height between 18 meters and 33 meters. Shahjehan built this fort because he wanted to shift his capital from Agra to Delhi. But, before he could do this, he was captured and imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb in the fort itself, where he stayed until he died.

The Red Fort is to be entered by the Delhi Gate to the west, which pierces the outer wall. After this, one goes through the “Hathi Pol” or Elephant Gate, which is a tiled and ornamented entrance that pierces the inner wall. Once inside, one sees the “Diwan-e-am” and the “Diwan-e-khas” which are pavilions where the king gave audience to the common people and the elite respectively. The “Rang Mahal” is a water-cooled apartment for the royal ladies and in the basement of the fort there is a market where one can buy traditional Indian goods at very competitive rates. The “Khas Mahal” and “Sheesh Mahal” are exquisitely ornamented halls, which portray the brilliance and splendor of Mughal royalty. There is also another entrance to the Red Fort, which is the “Lahori Gate”. This entrance leads to the well-known “Chandni Market”. In the evenings there is a special light and sound show organized for tourists which is a must see.

Why do we do aarati?

2008-01-22T04:42:00.001-08:00

Why do we do aarati?

Towards the end of every ritualistic worship (pooja or bhajan) of the Lord or to welcome an honored guest or saint, we perform the aarati. This is always
accompanied by the ringing of the bell and sometimes by singing, playing of musical instruments and clapping.

It is one of the sixteen steps (shodasha upachaara) of the pooja ritual. It is referred to as the lighted lamp in the right hand, which we wave in a clockwise circling movement to light the entire form of the Lord.

Each part is revealed individually and also the entire form of the Lord. As the light is waved we either do mental or loud chanting of prayers or simply behold the beautiful form of the Lord, illumined by the lamp. At the end of the aarati we place our hands over the flame and then gently touch our eyes and the top of the head.

We have seen and participated in this ritual from our childhood. Let us find out why we do the aarati?

Having worshipped the Lord of love - performing abhisheka, decorating the image and offering fruits and delicacies, we see the beauty of the Lord in all His glory. Our minds are focused on each limb of the Lord as the lamp lights it up. It is akin to silent open-eyed meditation on His beauty. The singing, clapping, ringing of the bell etc. denote the joy and auspiciousness, which accompanies the vision of the Lord.

Aarati is often performed with camphor. This holds a telling spiritual significance. Camphor when lit, burns itself out completely without leaving a trace of it. It represents our inherent tendencies (vaasanas). When lit by the fire of knowledge which illumines the Lord (Truth), our vaasanas thereafter burn themselves out completely, not leaving a trace of ego which creates in us a sense of individuality that keeps us separate from the Lord.

Also while camphor burns to reveal the glory of Lord, it emits a pleasant perfume even while it sacrifices itself. In our spiritual progress, even as we serve the guru and society, we should willingly sacrifice ourselves and all we have, to spread the "perfume" of love to all. We often wait a long while to see the illumined Lord but when the aarati is actually performed, our eyes close automatically as if to look within. This is to signify that each of us is a temple of the Lord.

Just as the priest reveals the form of the Lord clearly with the aarati flame, so too the guru reveals to us the divinity within each of us with the help of the "flame" of knowledge (or the light of spiritual knowledge). At the end of the aarati, we place our hands over the flame and then touch our eyes and the top of the head. It means - may the light that illuminated the Lord light up my vision; may my vision be divine and my thoughts noble and beautiful.

The philosophical meaning of aarati extends further. The sun, moon, stars, lightning and fire are the natural sources of light. The Lord is the source of this wonderous phenomenon of the universe. It is due to Him alone that all else exist and shine. As we light up the Lord with the flame of the aarati, we turn our attention to the very source of all light, which symbolizes knowledge and life.

Also the sun is the presiding deity of the intellect, the moon, that of the mind, and fire, that of speech. The Lord is the supreme consciousness that illuminates all of them. Without Him, the intellect cannot think, nor can the mind feel nor the tongue speaks. The Lord is beyond the mind, intellect and speech. How can this finite equipment illuminate the Lord? Therefore, as we perform the aarati we chant;

Na tatra suryo bhaati na chandra taarakam
Nemaa vidyuto bhaanti kutoyamagnib
Tameva bhaantam anubhaati sarvam
Tasya bhasa sarvam idam vibhaati

He is there where the sun does not shine, Nor the moon, stars and lightning.
then what to talk of this small flame (in my hand), Everything (in the universe) shines only after the Lord, And by His light alone are we all illumined.

Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata on Thursday unveiled the Tata Nano at the 9th Auto Expo in New Delhi.

Details of the Nano:

Ratan Tata, while unveiling the Nano, said: "The car will meet all current safety norms and all emission criteria. The pollution it will cause will be lower than 2-wheelers."

The car, he said, is smaller than a Maruti 800, but has 21 per cent more volume or space inside than the 800. He said that the dealer price of the car will be Rs 1 lakh, plus value-added tax (VAT) plus transport charges.

The car's dashboard features just a speedometer, fuel gauge, and oil light. The car does not have reclining seats or radio. The shock absorbers are basic.

It will sport a 30-litre fuel tank and 4-speed manual gearshift. One of Nano's three versions will come with air conditioning, but will have no power steering. It will have front disk and rear drum brakes. The company claims mileage of 23 km per litre.

The Nano, designed with a family in mind, has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Four doors with high seating position make ingress and egress easy.

Yet with a length of 3.1 metres, width of 1.5 metres and height of 1.6 metres, with adequate ground clearance, it can effortlessly manoeuvre on busy roads in cities as well as in rural areas

Determination and Persistence .....(triumph of one man's indomitable spirit)

Determination and Persistence .....(triumph of one man's indomitable spirit)

In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an

Idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before.

Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge.

He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it

could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After

much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.

Working together for the first time, the father and son developed

Concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be Over come. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.

The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a

Tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington

was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move.

"We told them so."

"Crazy men and their crazy dreams."

"It`s foolish to chase wild visions."

Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project

Should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever. He tried to inspire and pass on

his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay on his bed in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through the windows, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtains apart and he was able to see the sky and the tops of the trees outside for just a moment. It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an Idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.

For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on

His wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed.

Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a

tribute to the triumph of one man's indomitable spirit and his

determination not to be defeated by circumstances. It is also a tribute

to the engineers and their team work, and to their faith in a man who was considered mad by half the world. It stands too as a tangible monument to the love and devotion of his wife who for 13 long years patiently decoded the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.

Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that Over comes a terrible physical handicap and achieves an impossible goal.Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem Very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that dreams that seem impossible can be realized with Determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are.

WORDS WOMEN USE !!!

2008-01-10T06:46:00.002-08:00

enjiyed reading - just sharing with you all !!!!! - shailesh

FINE

This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks - this will cause you to have one of those arguments.

FIVE MINUTES

This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

NOTHING

This means "something," and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with "Fine"

GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows! )

This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine"

GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows)

This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care" You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

SOFT SIGH

Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content.

THAT'S OKAY

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow."

GO AHEAD!

At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

PLEASE DO
This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay"

THANKS

A woman is thanking you. Do not! faint. Just say you're welcome.

THANKS A LOT

This is much different from "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh." Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing

Quick Tips to Improve Self Confidence

2008-01-10T06:01:00.000-08:00

Here are some quick tips to improve your Self Confidence. If we are committed to have a healthy self confidence there are many things you can do every day to boost your self confidence, each small steps that will help you to reach your goal. The good news is that self-esteem is not fixed and can be improved, try some of the steps below to boost your confidence and self-esteem.

1) Identify your successes. Everyone is good at something, so discover the things at which you excel, then focus on your talents. Give yourself permission to take pride in them. Give yourself credit for your successes. Inferiority is a state of mind in which you've declared yourself a victim. Do not allow yourself to be victimized.

2) Look in the mirror and smile. Studies surrounding what's called the "facial feedback theory" suggest that the expressions on your face can actually encourage your brain to register certain emotions. So by looking in the mirror and smiling every day, you might feel happier with yourself and more confident in the long run.

3) Exercise and eat healthy. Exercise raises adrenaline and makes one feel happier and healthier. It is certainly an easy and effective way to boost your self-confidence.

4) Turn feelings of envy or jealousy into a desire to achieve. Stop wanting what others have just because they have it; seek things simply because you want them, whether anybody else has them or not.

5) When you're feeling superbly insecure, write down a list of things that are good about you. Then read the list back. You'd be surprised at what you can come up with.

6) Don't be afraid to push yourself a bit - a little bit of pressure can actually show just how good you are!

7) You can try taking a martial arts or fitness class/course (or both). This will help build confidence and strength.

8) Invest in some new clothing and donate some of your old clothing to send a message to yourself that you both look sharp and feel sharp.

9) Try to make yourself talk positively at all times. When you hear yourself saying you can't do something, stop and say you can. Unless you try, you will never know whether you are able to or not.

10) Don't get wrapped up in your mistakes and dwell on bad points; they can contrast your good points or even give you something to improve. There's no feeling like being good at something you were really bad at.

11) Don't confuse what you have with who you are. People degrade their self worth when comparing possessions.

12) Surround yourself with nurturing friends, not overly critical individuals who make you feel inadequate or insecure. This could do great harm and damage to your self confidence.

Why should the world be void of love?

2008-01-10T05:53:00.000-08:00

If I look at you, why are you angry?
If I smile to you, why are you angry?
If I say hi, why are you angry?
If I touch you, why are you angry?

If I don't look at you, why are you angry?
If I don't smile to you, why are you angry?
If I don't say hi, why are you angry?
If I don't touch you, why are you angry?..
I only wish to love you
but I don't know how to.
Please open your heart
and let me see in your soul.
Let me touch it softly and gently,
let me fulfill all your longings
and wipe away your anger.
You opened your heart once
when you said 'I despise you'.
Thank you for letting me see in your soul
but why should the world be void of love?
I can still love you by staying away.
My world is not void of love.
I love you as you wish
and I am happy to do so
