Does age matter??

I'm sure if I was seeing a guy younger to me, alot of people would have probably talked about it! I wonder how does age matter. If you like someone, you get along well...etc... Then why is the age made such a big issue!!?

Love!

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
-I Corinthians 13:4-8

Gotta crush on U!!

Source: poems
I've got a crush on you,
I feel as if I'm a child,
I hope u feel the way that I do!

you make me get butterflies,
you're "sweet",
I like you but I dunno why!


I guess ur just perfect,

may be ur the one for me...

you make me smile,
I think you can see,
that i'm ur not so secret admire;

I dream of things yet so unreal, you and me forever,
may be thats just what i feel and my heart is pushing me to go further;

When I hear ur voice,
it makes me giggle...

because it is almost like we are in our own world,
no other people, just you and me,
forever hold this peace!

When I long to see ur smile,
for a long while,
I get a memory of ur face...


I want to send you love notes,
because I got a crush on you,
and im praying you feel the way I do!

wondering as usual

Life... just one life!

Sometimes things around seems to be so meaningless...

Why everyone is not passionate about life...

What if we had just one day to live...

Friday, June 16, 2006

What a friend we have...

What a friend we have in JE...,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!


O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
JE... knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.

Clueless

learnt by experience
"...there is always something..." : when there is a problem, then there is always something that can solve the problem.
"...try a little harder..." : when things are not easy, you need to just try a little harder.

"...there is always a reason..." : there is always a reason behind what has happened.

God's Gift

I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for prosperity and God gave me brawn and brains to work.

I asked for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for love and God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favours and God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted and everything I needed.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
for ever and ever.


Amen.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live my life as if there isn’t and die to find out there is.

Learn to Live...

In the book of life every page has two sides: we human beings fill the upper side with our plans, hopes and wishes, but providence writes on the other side, and what it ordains is seldom our goal. -- Nisami

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. -- Buddha

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever...-- Isak Dinesen

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.-- Alfred D. Souza

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. -- Albert Einstein

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well. -- Josh Billings

In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed. -- Sid Caesar

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyways. -- Anonymous

Enough is enough?

Ques: If two people really love each other but just can't get along, when do they say enough is enough?


Ans: Enough is never enough.

Thursday, April 06, 2006

just wondering...

Around 4-5 years back I heard Robin Williams, in one of his movies, saying something like-
"...noble Professions like engineering, medicine etc are needed to sustain life BUT love, beauty, passion are the essence of life…"
"Been busy..."

What if, there is no fear and we are bold enough to face life as it comes... will we still take ages to decide which path/way to take? life-is-simple

What is important at the end of the day? ... If this day was my last day on earth... what-is-important

One life!
one-life
- I wonder what the definition of life is. It cannot be same for all... or is it?
- What is that one thing that you want to live for?

Feelings

Feelings (Adapted from: Jo Pye )

My feelings for you I can not hide,
I talk to you all night...being with you just feels so right!

You make me feel like I'm a queen,
Like being inside an awesome dream...

When you not around I get upset…
and fight with you, and remain unrest

You pamper me and say this is real, I believe you, hope u know…
And the love that surrounds us continues to grow

I think of what the future holds...Marriage, children, us growing old

And as I lay, thinking of you, my dear,
I'm just so glad that you're mine, you're real...

Do you know someone like that??

...he knows what he wants...
...he is clear in his words and thoughts...
...he is practical and yet dreamy...
...he is romantic and a lot more...
...he is crazy, he is sweet... he is a baby!

Confuse state of mind

I find it very difficult to identify certain things…

…how I feel for people I am in touch with…
…who are those people who matter to me…
…what is real and what is not…

…where do I stand…?
…how to describe myself… what would be the real 'Me’…
…how I see myself is real or the way people see me as…
…what is real and what is not…

…I know what I really want in life, what I want to do etc…
…but then, a lot of things/people I have in life that don’t really fit in that picture… what should I do about those things/people…
…How to sum up my childhood (and my past)… there were good time and bad times… what would be that one word that will say it all…?
…what would be that ‘ideal scale’ from which I can compare my life to identify the facts…?
…what is real and what is not…

A Good Woman

A friend send me this... Do you have some points to add to this list?

How To Recognise A Good Woman

  • A good woman is proud. She respects herself and others.
  • She is aware of who she is.
  • She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, nor does she expect them to read her mind.
  • She is quite capable of articulating her needs.
  • A good woman is hopeful.
  • She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true.
  • She knows love, therefore she gives love.
  • She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated.
  • If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.
  • A good woman has a dash of inspiration and a dabble of endurance.
  • She knows that she will at times have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them.
  • A good woman knows her past, understands her present and forces toward the future.
  • A good woman knows God.
  • She knows that with God the world is her playground, but without God she will just be played with.
  • A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past. Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons meant to bring her closer to self-knowledge and unconditional self-love
Roy's List:

3. Happy with her career or job
4. Healthy. Not too thin or too heavy!
5. Intelligent

7. Even tempered.
8. Likes sports or will be O.K. with you liking sports.
9.Good sense of humor

Ten Qualities Men Do Not Like In Women:

Things You Should Never Tell Your Man

...wondering what more points can be added to this list...?

1. Never admit that you hate his mother -
...even if he bad-mouths her first (the Silence Is Golden rule).

...remember, he can say whatever he wants, because she's his mommy... he will preface everything he says about her in future with, "I know you hate her, but--." To be safe, apply this rule to all blood relations... Save your opinions about his family for your girlfriends or your shrink and you'll live a much happier life -- trust me.

2. Never confess to past infidelities -
...(the Don't Tell, Don't Tell rule).

...never admit that you cheated while in a committed relationship. On the subject of fidelity, you are above reproach... in all seriousness, you have to ask yourself how the relationship could possibly benefit from your true confessions, and I think you'll see the answer is not at all. Doubt can do serious damage.

3. Don't tell him that one of your girlfriends is cheating on her husband -
...(the Keep Your Big Fat Mouth Shut rule).
Just keeping your own past slipups under wraps is not enough. In general, you must act as though infidelity is equal to murder. You know it exists, you've read about it in the papers, but you certainly don't know anyone who has actually committed it.

4. Don't make him feel impotent about work -
...(the I Believe in You No Matter What rule)

5. Don't tell him you want a divorce unless you really do -
...(the Don't Give Him Any Big Ideas rule).

Once you introduce the idea of abandonment into your relationship, distrust can grow. You can't unring that bell, so don't ring it unless you're sure the whole damn town is on fire.

6. Never tell him that it does bother you that you make more money than he does
...(the Being Married to You Is a Full-Time Job rule).

10 Things You Should Never Tell A Woman

...wondering what more points can be added to this list...?

10.Your family hates her
…you'll only fuel the fire by making her angry or insecure. If you don't agree with your family's hesitations about her, then politely ask them to butt out. Just do what you can to make them change their minds and hope they'll warm up to her with time.

9.You have insecurities
One of the most important things a woman looks in a man is confidence, and if she sees that you are constantly insecure and jealous, you won't seem so poised. So if you can't put a stop to your insecurities and your green-eyed monster, at least try to keep it to yourself.

8.You flirt with other women
…she doesn't need to hear the list of women that you flirted with all day, nor does she need to hear about the list of women that flirted with you. If it really is harmless flirting, then why make her worry about it.

7.You have wimpy behavior
…you don't kill spiders, you run away from fights and maybe you even cry during movies. Unfortunately for you, the cliché is true: Women like strong men. So telling her that you're afraid of an itty-bitty insect or that you can't stand heights isn't going to work in your favor. Naturally, if you are going to be with her in the long term, she might learn some of these little factoids as you go along. But do your best not to divulge them all in the beginning.

6.You compare her to your ex-girlfriend in bed.
Needless to say, everyone does this; she is probably also comparing you to her ex to some extent. But do avoid offering her specific details about your past conquests, specifically the fact that your past lover was better than her in bed. In fact, even if you are telling her that she is better than your ex… No woman wants to be compared to another, especially in the sexual department.

5.You talk to your mother too often
Do you talk to mom several times a day? To a woman you're dating, that could be a little intimidating. A woman doesn't want to feel like she's competing with your mother, or worse, that you're dependent on mommy. So just keep that cute little secret to yourself.

4.You have not-so-cool hobbies
…you have to realize that it is unlikely that she will appreciate your wacky interests and hobbies. Don't fool yourself into thinking that such quirks are charming; chances are they'll just be a real turnoff.

3.You don't like her girlfriends
Most of her girlfriends have been in her life longer than you have, so talking negatively about them probably won't work out too well for you. If she doesn't end things with you entirely, she's sure to at least become defensive and angry about this -- so if you absolutely need to trash her girlfriends, just make sure she's not within earshot.

2.You've done shameful things in the past
You might think that the two of you are close enough for you to reveal these little tidbits. But unfortunately, she'll never be ready to hear that you've cheated on past girlfriends or that you've enjoyed private dances at strip club. Even non-sexual shameful acts that you've committed -- like theft, bullying or betrayals -- are not things that you want to divulge. While you might want to get some of these secrets off your chest, she will never forget them. And you'll come off looking like a less moral or honest person as a result.

1.You find one of her friends smoking hot So you think that blonde friend of hers is cute? Fair enough. But do have the sense not to mention it to your girlfriend -- not even as a joke. She won't find it funny; actually, she will probably be angry and hurt, and in the long run, she'll never trust you around her friends. You might think that your girlfriend is secure enough to handle this piece of information, but let me tell you that she's not. Most girls aren't, so don't risk it.

The Power of Positive Thinking!I found this article on the Internet. We all know about the power of positive thinking etc. This article is nothing new. However, In addition to what is written below I firmly believe “Its all in the mind!

Key Point:You are what you think. You feel what you want.

Our present attitudes are habits, built from the feedback of parents, friends, society and self, that forms our self-image and our world-image.

These attitudes are maintained by the inner conversations we constantly have with ourselves, both consciously and subconsciously.
The first step in changing our attitudes is to change our inner conversations.

What Should We Be Saying?
One approach is called the three C's: Commitment, Control and Challenge.

Commitment
Make a positive commitment to yourself, to learning, work, family, friends, nature, and other worthwhile causes. Praise yourself and others. Dream of success. Be enthusiastic.

Control
Keep your mind focused on important things. Set goals and priorities for what you think and do. Visualize to practice your actions. Develop a strategy for dealing with problems. Learn to relax. Enjoy successes. Be honest with yourself.
ChallengeBe courageous. Change and improve each day. Do your best and don't look back. See learning and change as opportunities. Try new things. Consider several options. Meet new people. Ask lots of questions. Keep track of your mental and physical health. Be optimistic.
Studies show that people with these characteristics are winners in good times and survivors in hard times.

Research shows that,
"... people who begin consciously to modify their inner conversations and assumptions report an almost immediate improvement in their performance. Their energy increases and things seem to go better ..."

Commitment, control and challenge help build self-esteem and promote positive thinking. Here are some other suggestions.

Suggestions for Building Positive Attitudes
• Look for positive people to associate with.
• Look for one more interesting idea.
• Find one more concept important to you.
• With every friend, explain a new idea you've just learned.
• Ask questions.
• With yourself, keep a list of your goals, positive thoughts and actions.
Remember, you are what you think, you feel what you want
The only song I know-
If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

Lord I’m one, lord I’m two, lord I’m three, lord I’m four,
Lord I’m 500 miles from my home.
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord I’m five hundred miles from my home.

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I can’t go a-home this a-way
This a-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way,
Lord I can’t go a-home this a-way.

If you miss the train I’m on you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

I learnt this song in 1994 May, Summer adventure camp which is organized every year for Army officers kids. I sooo miss that time...

Relationships

1. Do you need to play 'act-pricy’ games to get some attention? Or relationships are simple?
  • I think we don’t really need to. But sometimes it’s needed; when you feel you are taken for granted.
  • But I am not sure...
2. What is that make a relationship strong?
  • Trust
  • Understanding
  • What else…?
3. I have seen breakups. And I know people give n reasons for why they are breaking up. I am just wondering, how can a person suddenly stop loving someone? What is that one real thing that lead to all these breakups?

February!!

Well… I feel December is the month of Christmas celebrations (in true believer way), spending time with family and friends, shopping, gifts, Red-Green-White color.

Similarly, I feel that February is the month of Red color, gifts, meeting friends and spending time with someone special.

I feel so happy and special already!!

Stabber:
Out of the blue, a fren just said - "I'll tell you one thing... If somebody stabs a knife, you should not hate the knife. You should hate the stabber"
My response to that was - "I so hate that stabber. I wish someone stabs him too!!"
And then he continues - "He is destined for his tomorrow" {He = Stabber}

I probably was mean by saying what I said, but that’s what I felt. And I guess my fren was just supporting me so that I don’t feel guilty for having said what I said.

But I still wonder...
1. Should we hate that 'Stabber'?
2. Or forgive-forget such people?
3. Do people actually pay in future for what they do wrong to others??

Well, I think I will be careful with people now. Don’t want to be stabbed by anyone. Nor do I want to be in a situation where I am paying for what I did wrong to someone in past.

Unconditional Love

My friend sent me a offliner on Yahoo which goes like this-

SN (1/24/2006 9:06:07 PM):
"You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry.” "If we don't feel love with our heart, then how come that's where it hurts when someone doesn't love you back." "Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own."

What made me ponder upon the most is the last one -
"Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own."
... My first few thoughts on this were - Oh My God! I wonder if I really love any one on earth... hummm.... my count will go like err... 0 to 2 max!!

How many people you think you really love (in true sense, really unconditional love)... just think about it...

And I dont think we are even careful in using the word 'Love/Adore'. I think we should say or express such feeling in words only when we really mean it and can keep up to it. And if you really do love someone, I dont think you would need to say it in words much; your actions will say it all :)
