Thats Life!!!

If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live. (Lin Yutang)

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

In many cases the person who gives advice hasn't tried it himself and wishes to see it tested to see if it really works.

It's a small world. So you gotta use your elbows a lot.

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. (Henry David Thoreau)

I've done so much, with so little, for so long, that I can do almost anything, with nothing, in no time flat.

Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as you go along.

Never do anything that you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics.

No matter how long you've been walking south, in just a single step you can be walking north.

Not all who wander are lost. (JRR Tolkien)

People are peculiar - they want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the middle of the road

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it. (Jean de La Fontaine)

The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. (Henry David Thoreau)

Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are. (Thomas Carlyle)

Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you. (John De Paola)

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you're really strangers. (Mary Tyler Moore)

Today is the last day of your life, so far.

Yield to temptation, it may not pass your way again.

Ek Boond Paani Pila De..

ek boond paani pila de..
bahut pyaas lagi hai..
ek jhalak tu dikha de..
saalo se aas lagi hai..

amrit bhi mil sakta hai..
par paani ko tarasta hun..
khuda bhi mil sakta hai..
par teri hi raah takta hun..

tu apni raah badal de chaahe..
par meri taqdeer nahi badlegi..
usi raah par milunga tujhe..
jo mere haath ki lakeer kahegii..

Safar..

hazaaro chehre hein mehfil mein..
har chehra ek nayi kitaab..
na jyada milta hai na kam..
kyunki woh rakhta hai poora hisaab..

andhera wahin dikhta hai..
jahan hua karta tha prakash..
sannata wahin mehsoos hota hai..
janah kabhi sunai deti thi uski awaaz..

kyun chaand ki kashish rehti hai..
jab taare mere saath hein..
kyun aasmaan mein udne ki chaah hai..
jab zameen par meri raah hai..

chalna hai musafir ka naseeb..
musafir hun, ye hai meri takdeer..
fir kyun ruk jaata hun mein..
jab meri takdeer hi hai mera naseeb..

Koi Ye Kaise Bataye - Jagjit Singh

koee ye kaise bataaye ke wo tanahaa kyon hai
wo jo apanaa thaa, wahee aaur kisee kaa kyon hai
yahee duniyaan hain to fir, ayesee ye duniyaan kyon hai
yahee hotaa hain to, aakhir yahee hotaa kyon hai?

ik jaraa haath badhaa de to, pakad le daaman
us ke seene mein samaa jaaye, humaaree dhadakan
itanee kurbat hain to fir faasalaa itanaa kyon hai?

dila-ye-barabaad se nikalaa naheen abatak koee
ik loote ghar pe diyaa karataa hain dastak koee
aas jo toot gayee hain fir se bandhaataa kyon hai?

tum masarrt kaa kaho yaa ise gam kaa rishtaa
kahate hain pyaar kaa rishtaa hain janam kaa rishtaa
hai janam kaa jo ye rishtaa to badalataa kyon hai?
