Fairy Tale???

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

Happened to me. It made me very sensitive to cruelty....

"Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul."

yesterday, i was passing through some market in pindi, i saw a grey haired man,about 65 years old wearing torn clothes which i am sure were not warm enuff to hinder the cold,holding his cycle in his both hands and walking along the road.My car was moving slow coz of the "terrific traffic" and i caught site of the old man.I focused on him and started looking into his eyes....looked again...and again!!
OHHH!!! TEARS! Yes there were tears in his eyes.....my heart sunk right at dat moment...hundereds of thoughts blocked my mind....in the process of finding the reason...y he was weeping.

May be coz his weak shoulders were not able to bear the burden of responsibilites,may be he was thinking of that utter need of one of his family member which he was unable to fullfil,may be he was the only bread earner of his family and on dat day he was unable to earn dat even,may be coz his children left him alone to face the brutalities of life!

Cruel! world as well as life..........

Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.

Wait For The Right Time!!

Women are like apples on trees, the best ones are on the top of the tree. The men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and don't want to get hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't so good but easy. So, the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top becuase they value quality.

What Happens in Heaven???

What Happens in Heaven

This is one of the nicest mails I have seen and is so true:

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked
side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.


My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the
Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels
sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from
people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.
Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and
delivered to the living persons who asked for them."

I noticed again how busy it was there.
There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings
had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a
very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there,
idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section,"

my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed How is it
that? There's no work going on here?" I asked.

"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they
asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.

"Simple," the angel answered.
"Just say, "Thank you, God."

"What blessings should they acknowledge?"
I asked.


"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead
and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. "If you have
money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.


"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the
world who has that opportunity."

Also ....


"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness .... you are more
blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation .. you are
ahead of 700 million people in the world.

"If you can attend a Namaz in Mosque without the fear of harassment, arrest,
torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion
people in the world.

"If your parents are still alive, you are very rare.

If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique
to all those in doubt and despair."


Ok, what now? How can I start?


If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that
someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than
over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

The Way to Be Followed Alone!

I came across this content on somebody else's blog and found it damn interesting and usefull. Anyways, I liked it, and I’m posting it here. these lines were written over there too

"Follow this, and you will stay cool all your life, and kick life’s ass. It’s is called as the Dokkodo."

i found this line to be the most catching one :P:P:P

• Accept everything just the way it is.
• Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.
• Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling.
• Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.
• Be detached from desire your whole life long.
• Do not regret what you have done.
• Never be jealous.
• Never let yourself be saddened by a separation.
• Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself or others.
• Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love.
• In all things have no preferences.
• Be indifferent to where you live.
• Do not pursue the taste of good food.
• Do not hold on to possessions you no longer need.
• Do not act following customary beliefs.
• Do not collect weapons or practice with weapons beyond what is useful.
• Do not fear death.
• Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age.

FATE???

“It’s a book that says the same thing almost all the other books in the world say,” continued the old man. “It describes people’s inability to choose their own Personal Legends. And it ends up saying that everyone believes the world’s greatest lie.”
“What’s the world’s greatest lie?” the boy asked, completely surprised.

“It’s this; that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s greatest lie.”

GOD! An Artist!!

God is an artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the ant. Actually, he never sought for a style -he was simply doing everything that he wanted to do.” The master says: “When we begin along our path, a great fear arises. We feel obligated to do everything right. In the end, since we have only one life to live, who was it that invented the standard of “Everything right?” God made the giraffe, the elephant and the ant -why do we have to follow a standard? A standard serves only to show us how others define their own reality. Often we admire the models of others, and many times we can avoid the errors committed by others. But as for living well -only we know how to do that for ourselves.

You Must Exactly know what is it that u want!

The master says: “If you are traveling the road of your dreams, be committed to it. Do not leave an open door to be used as an excuse such as, ‘Well, this isn’t exactly what I wanted. ‘ Therein are contained the seeds of defeat. “Walk your path. Even if your steps have to be uncertain, even if you know that you could be doing it better. If you accept your possibilities in the present, there is no doubt that you will improve in the future. But if you deny that you have limitations, you will never be rid of them. “Confront your path with courage, and don’t be afraid of the criticism of others. And, above all, don’t allow yourself to become paralyzed by self-criticism. “God will be with you on your sleepless nights, and will dry your tears with His love. God is for the valiant.”

LIFE!

What’s life after all??

“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
“A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle. “
Sounds like a wrestling match, I say.
“A wrestling match.” He laughs. “Yes, you could describe life that way.”
So which side wins, I ask? ” Which side wins?”
He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth.
“Love wins. Love always wins.”

~ “Tuesdays With Morrie”, Mitch Albom

Unfaithfull Men!

Unfaithful men seem to be everywhere nowadays. Your chances of becoming involved with an unfaithful man in this day and age are great. Yet, the age-old question of why men are unfaithful is difficult to answer.

Most husbands probably have the urge to cheat at one time or another. Those that choose not to respect their partner and their relationship too much to risk it. Many experts feel that an unfaithful man cheats because he is in an unhealthy relationship that already had existing problems. It would be interesting to know how many men who are in happy relationships are unfaithful.
However, what are the reasons as to why men are unfaithful? Sometimes it can be a simple reason, other times a complex combination of reasons. Is an unfaithful man really controlled by his “privates” and not his mind?

Various statistics claim that the more attractive a person is, the more likely they will be unfaithful because their opportunities to cheat increase. However, just because you marry an ugly guy doesn’t mean he won’t be unfaithful.
Reasons why men are unfaithful in a happy relationship may be because they are selfish or to pump their ego. Cheating is an extremely selfish act and men who cheat rarely think about their partner’s feelings when committing the act. Since a cheating man lacks respect for his lady, he is obviously much more likely to make moves on beautiful ladies only.
Are men’s genes really that out of control that they can’t remain faithful? Expert’s views are divided. Some experts state unfaithful men cheat because they are lonely or simply as an escape. Since men are taught not to show or communicate their feelings, stopping the cheating behavior becomes even more difficult. Sometimes having "special relation" is the only way a cheating man can even achieve an emotional bond. Because of this, it isn’t surprising that when men cheat, many times their emotional needs are not met at all. Those cheating men that suffer from the guilt associated from the affair, may experience a mix of emotions ranging from lashing out in anger, depression or being overly nice. It’s a vicious cycle and one that is hard to break.
A cheating man is more likely to stay in a relationship if there is a long relationship history of time, there are intertwined monies or if there are children.

Mom's Favourite Dialog!!

the much loved dialog of ma mom is :

"PERHA LIKHA K TINNU..KHO ICH SUT DITTA...AKAL KOI NAHI AAYE FER V" :P

Marriage!

Then Almitra spoke again and said, "And what of Marriage, master?"

And he answered saying:

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together;

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.


Khalil Gibran
