What Is Life?

is it about pleasure or about pain?
is it about losses or the gains?
is it about sunshine or the rain?

it is about both
the pleasure and the pain
coz without pain
we dont understand
the importance of pleasure

it is about both
the losses and the gain
coz without the losses
we dont learn
how to value our gains

it is about both
the sunshine and the rain
coz without sunshine
we would not have
the rainbow after the rain!

 

My Infatuation

After slight hesitation
Out of my temptation
In written communication
I expressed my infatuation

It was like an examination
Where I had to convey some information
With utter determination
Not to face any rejection

So with intense preparation
I told her she is my inspiration
And without any speculation
Has my undivided attention

But she failed to understand my addiction
And told me I had competition
So I better take precaution
To save an early cremation
This one is mine :-)

Cheers!

Inspired from "Wear Sunscreen"

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.
But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.

Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind.
The kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts.
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Don't waste your time on jealousy.
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind.
The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults.
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters.
Throw away your old bank statements.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives.
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either.
Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can.
Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths:
Prices will rise. Politicians will philander.
You, too, will get old.
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse.
But you never know when either one might run out.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

Leisure

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

-William Henry Davies

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head!

Raindrops keep falling on my head... And just like the guy whose feet
are too big for his bed, nothing seems to fit. Those raindrops are
falling on my head, they keep falling.

So I just did me some talking to the sun. And I said I didn't like the
way, he got things done... sleeping on the job... those raindrops are
falling on my head, they keep falling.

But there's one thing I know: The blues they send to meet me won't
defeat me. It won't be long till happiness sleps up to greet me.

Raindrops keep falling on my head but that doesn't mean my eyes will
soon be turning red. Crying's not for me cause I'm never gonna stop
the rain by complaining. Because I'm free. Nothing's worrying
me.

A Weekend Full of Movies!!!

Hi,

I am listening to All Out of Love - Air Supply right now. It happens to be one of my favourite songs. I could perhaps describe all my moods and emotions via some song or the other.

Anyways, saw 4 movies over the weekend - all on TV. First Akele Hum Akele Tum, then my all time favourite Gladiator, and then a movie which was pending for long - Yuva. These were one after the other on Saturday, and saw DTPH today.

Apart from Yuva, I had seen the others before. Nihar had once told me that Yuva is worth a watch, though my parents said they did not like the movie much. I loved the movie.

The character of Ajay Devgan, and the concept of the young generation challenging the old junk people who have wrecked our country was great. I second the thoughts of Ajay's character that that soon this generation will have to enter the dark world of politics to lead the country to prosperity. We cannot let money minded politicians suck the wealth and goodwill of our country for long.

The filmy love story that was spun around Vivek-Kareena was good too. So was the acting of Abhishek-Rani. However, the Ajay factor should inspire the youth to pull up their socks and challenge the government. Fasting for days, and having these protests can maybe counter the reservations issue, but what about the other issues!!!

May God Bless us all,
Cheers!
