mEeE & mY dReAMZZzzz-_….

I dream of many things. I have a million dreams, not just one. They grow and branch out as I grow in age and maturity. I at one time dreamt of being a celebrity but when I realized that popularity will not make one a celebrity its our struggle and passion which makes one. I have dreamt of having and being many things. But never have I had a set dream for more than a couple of years.

Dreams are made to be dreamt, but some are allowed the choice of becoming reality. I dream of becoming professional. “A professional of what ? ” you may ask. I do not know for my dream is to find out. I dream that I will be able to go through all of the good times and especially, the hard times in life. I that I will have a life to remember.

I believe that I had found my main dream, the root and origin of all my dreams that surfaced over these years. Though it is old and unused, I can rebuilt it and work my way towards it.

I dream that I will receive what life has in store for me. I dream that I will learn what life can teach me. So these are my dreams and I will chase it down to my life till it achieve it.

I miss her, And she wAs my best friend for A reAlly long time. Hey wAit she still is …. A little poem dedicAted to one of my best friend who is fAr AwAy by presence but close to me with her cAre And Affection.

I miss those times  

I even miss our silly fights 

The making up 

The morning talks 

And those late afternoon walks 

I miss my friend ……

The bond between friends is all the more special because they are not related by blood. Friends are there in every nook and corner of our lives. But do all friendships last a life time? Certainly not. Some of the friends are left behind in the way as we go further and further towards our destination in life.

This does make us sad, but there is not much that can be done about it.  Friends are missed all the time, but the more joyous occasions like birthdays or any other festive occasions make us remember them even more. 

I miss you on your birthday,

Not only for your smile,

But for the piece of me that’s gone,

Left within your care. 

I’m in an empty hallway

And have been for awhile,

Gazing inwardly towards home,

Neither here nor there. 

How quickly we’ve turned distant!

The months pass by like years.

How could friends so inseparable

So soon seem so apart! 

How imprecise the instant

Held hostage by my tears!

Though Time may seem insatiable,

I have you in my heart.

Thank you for your friendship and your love.

However life may turn, this gift will be

A mountain that has made my river bend,

Nor will it flow the same way to the sea.

Years will not this part of me remove.

One lives for just a brief eternity,

Understanding truths that never end.

Wishing my dear friend long life and never ending happiniess and love from her hubby whom I know is a real lovely person.

All the characters in this story are true image of many in this hopeless world of mistakes. So I dedicate this to all who never thinks of correcting their err and not realizing the fact that it is their life that they’ve to forfeit…..

………………………..Amy married Joe this day. At the end of the wedding party, Amy’s mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With $1000 deposit amount.

Mother: ‘Amy, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there’s something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it’s about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I’ve done the first one for you today. Do the others with Joe.. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you’ve had.’

Amy shared this with Joe when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.

This was what they did after certain time:

7 Feb: $100, first birthday celebration for Joe after marriage

1 Mar: $300, salary raise for Amy

20 Mar: $200, vacation trip to Huwaeii

15 Apr: $2000, Amy got pregnant

1 Jun: $1000, Joe got promoted

….. and so on…

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things. They didn’t talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world…. no more love…Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

One day Amy talked to her Mother: ‘Mom, we can’t stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can’t imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!’

Mother: ‘Sure, girl, that’s no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can’t stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn’t keep any record of such a poor marriage.’

Amy thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home.When she was home, she handed the passbook to Joe, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.

The next day, Joe gave the passbook back to Amy.. She found a new deposit of $5000. And a line next to the record: ‘This is the day I notice how much I’ve loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you’ve brought me.’

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe. Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask. I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru all the good years in their life.

Have you heard yourself saying “I wish I had the time for this…” Well, the truth is, however busy you may be, you do have the time. With the hectic mad pace of life, it is easy to waste time that you could have set aside for yourself. I suggest that you take care of the minutes and the hours will take care of themselves or else TIME FLIES….

Put aside 15 minutes every day and do something worthwhile. Do something for yourself. You’ll be amazed what you can achieve in those few minutes set aside every single day.

You can set a 15 minute count down timer for an activity such as do yoga, arrange your cupboard, go for a walk, clear up the papers you don’t need, arrange your clothes, read a book, clean the kitchen, dance, play with your kids, have a hot relaxing shower…. The list is endless. Be creative and think up fun ways to add constructive activity each day to your life for just 15 minutes. This 15 minute fun routine has made a dramatic positive difference in the life of thousands of people. It improves vocabulary to self confidence to finishing off what seemed like cumbersome tasks with ease, improving fitness levels and relationships.

I’m sure you want to know why 15 minutes, why not any lesser or more? There is no clear answer to this. It just seems like 15 minutes is neither too long to get something done nor short enough to be tolerable. Let’s say for example, the hardest part of achieving fitness is taking the first step and making the much needed lifestyle changes. By cutting down an overwhelming goal into 15 minute time slots, it seems so much easier to begin achieving the seemingly difficult tasks. The 15 minute rule need not only be applied to tasks that you need to complete. You can even spend the 15 minutes time to hang out with your kids. Its quality time, you can even read a motivational story to your kids in that time. They will be so delighted and you will know you did the best possible thing with your time.

The best thing is, you can find those 15 minutes at any time of the day, late evening or night. Whatever time fits in your schedule is perfectly fine. You can even use the coffee break at work and go for a quick job, or do some simple stretching exercises especially if you work in a desk bound job. This will relax and loosen your limbs. It can be something as simple as watering the plants early in the morning and thanking God for each new day.

The moment those 15 minutes are up, just stop and see how much you have achieved. And, if you are a lazy slacker like me who leaves everything for tomorrow, you will be amazed how much you accomplish with the 15 minute and rEaliZe the True PoWeR oF TiME.

“These concerns (for orphan children in India and elsewhere in the world) are very good, but often these same people are not concerned with the millions that are killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers. And this is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today, Abortion…For the pregnant women who don’t want their children, give them to me.” - Mother Teresa

A real touching words from a women who was a mother to this diabolic world. If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people to not kill each other? Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. You may have 1000 reasons to justify your devils act but none of them can justify an act which takes a life unless he or she can create it at their wish.

The issue of abortion is one of the most contentious, and emotive dilemmas faced by modern societies. The question is whether one should allow the termination of a child whilst it is in its mother’s womb. For some, the question is even more fundamental: at what stage is the foetus in the womb to be regarded as a child? At conception? At birth? Or, maybe somewhere between. The battle-lines are drawn between strict, religious (‘pro-life’) arguments (that it is never permissible), and those (‘pro-choice’) that emphasise the mother’s right to choose as the primary concern. Yes we believe that a woman has the right to choose what happens to her body and her organs but we don’t believe she has the right to kill another human being to better her life still.

What about the father? What rights does the father have over a fetus? If a mother seeks an abortion, can a father that wants “life” for his child defend it? And, what if the mother wants to give birth to her child, while the father desires an abortion? What say does the father have? Is this, therefore, simply a question of the woman’s rights, or the father’s rights as well?

Moreover what about the Fetus, Is it wrong to assign rights to the fetus? Is it not a person? Is it like wanted fetuses are beloved “babies”; unwanted ones are “tissue” (inconsistent). Life is an individual right, not a privilege, for unborn humans. 

Have you ever thought what would be your answer if your unborn child is questioning your love for child. Will any mother ever say that they don’t like children or they never wanted their beloved. I don’t think so.. THEN WHYYY?? If every feminine life have a self realization and it is by becoming a mother it shows the value of being a mother. Then why some times this MOTHER thing becomes a bother to personal life and why they want to avoid it ??? Hard to give a satisfactory answer HUH??

All human life–from the moment of conception and through all subsequent stages–is sacred, because human life is created in the image and likeness of God.  Nothing surpasses the greatness or dignity of a human person…If a person’s right to life is violated at the moment in which he is first conceived in his mother’s womb, an indirect blow is struck also at the whole moral order.

So here there is no conclusion as it’s hard to change the world unless we be the CHANGE… If the anti-abortion movement took a tenth of the energy they put into noisy theatrics and devoted it to improving the lives of children who have been born into lives of poverty, violence, and neglect, they could make a world shine. I’ve noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born…………..

Before you start reading this, a couple of words about its orgin. I am very glad to present this before all of you as the best blog that touched many people and evolved from one good friend of mine……

On a hot sunny afternoon “Boy” gets a phone call from his long lost “Girl”friend who is now married and settled in a far off place but not so far away from his memories.

Boy: Hello
Girl: Hello… How are you?
Boy: (excited but skeptical about the nature of the call) I’m fine…. How about you?
Girl: I’m ok (and silence follows)
Boy: You didn’t go to office today?
Girl: No… I’m on leave… a months leave.
Boy: Ok…. but why? (suddenly realizing something) Are you pregnant?
Girl: (after a short silence) yes
Boy: (trying to exaggerate his excitement) Oh… ok! great! congrats! Thats a very good news!!!!
Girl: (as if she is not excited) mmmmm…!!!!
Boy: Whats the status now? 2 months?
Girl: (a bit uncomfortable) No…. Just 1 month. The delivery date is expected to be in November.
Boy: (mentally counting the months) I think it would fall in the month of October…. I mean if we go by the calculation….
Girl: Yeah….. It can go 15 days this side or that side.
Boy: mmmm….good….I wish its in October…. he he (making up a false grin)
Girl: (exaggerating interest) why???
Boy: He he….! So that you will have to live with and tolerate a libran girl or boy through out your life…. ha ha..!!!
Girl: Poda…!!! My husband is also a libran….
Boy: Oho..!!! Thats good…. So librans are not the problem but the real deal is individual characters… right?
Girl: (doesn’t reply….a long silence)
Boy: I had told you long back to consider me among the first 5 people to whom you will convey this news…… remember?????
Girl: (after a brief silence) I haven’t told this to many……
Boy: (not believing and completely unsatisfied with the answer) mmmmmm…..!!!
Girl: So whats up with you?
Boy: (with out much interest) Hey… nothing much… everything is still the same.
Girl: (already expecting this answer) Ok.
Boy: (sighing) Anyway take care of yourself and congrats once again….
Girl: Ok.. Take care
Boy: Bye.
Girl: Bye.

Boy spent the next one hour trying to ruminate how they had planned for this when they were together and how different it is now. But he couldn’t remember much of what had happened though he never thought that he will forget all those things. He strolled up and down the aisle trying to recollect the past but in vain. Soon he realized that time have played the role of a culprit- A blessed and welcome culprit- who stole all the memories but willed, in bits and fragments, the pain associated with it…..

He took his phone and browsed through the folders and found one with her name on it. He opened the folder to find a music file. It was a song sung by her long ago and he had recorded it in his phone. He played it aloud……

“Kunjilam thumbiye pole nee (Like a tiny and cute butterfly)
ente jeevanaayi vaa (come and be my life)
vennilaa paal kadal neenthi nee (swimming in the twilight)
swarna hamsamaayi vaa (come like a golden swan)
nee enikkori omana kili (You are my dearest bird)
kunju thooval veeshi vinnil ooyalaadi nee varu…..” (swaying your beautiful feathers, come dancing to me)

He switched off the phone with his trembling fingers. He wished that she would sing this song to her child…. and that this would become the little one’s favourite lullaby…..

He left his thoughts to rest…. thanking time for healing all the wounds!!!!!!!

Decide yourself whether you want to be the CHANGE. Simple ideas to participate in the Joy of Giving Week. From giving clothes to organising an event, depending on your energy level!

Alwayzz a Beginner!!!

I had thought of starting a new blog since more than a year after I tasted the sweet and sour of life. I certainly couldn’t call myself a beginner, right? But then I got a new laptop, and now I got a new cell phone which is a business phone…so guess what? I’m still a beginner and probably always will be when it comes to technology. I’m still a beginner at blogging because I’m still struggling with my sense of responsibility to demonstrate a willingness to enter into public discourse and my aversion to making my thoughts not only so public, but also so permanently “out there” in a way I have little control over. Chances are, not a soul out there cares what I think about anything, but I still worry about the few who might care too much and give me grief over it. I am such a coward. Then again, maybe I’m just cautious about spouting off opinions unless I have all the facts, and the more I learn the more I realize just how difficult it is to come by “facts” that I can trust are “true.” Sometimes I have very strong opinions and am short on facts, so I might as well keep my mouth shut. I’m also aware that what might seem an innocent and innocuous statement can come back to bite a person in the butt in unexpected ways, depending on how the statement is interpreted. Language is just so slippery that way no matter what medium is used.
