Jab tak hai jaan :)

I have so many things to say about this movie...

But all I can remember is the dialogue which touched my soul :)

Its a story of love..

undying love that a man had for a woman

unflinching love that a woman had for a man

and unending faith that God had on their love

love that breaks you, but still keeps you together...

love that creates distances but still brings you closer....

love that is true and forever....

and I learnt that if you have the power to love like that then God makes sure that your love finds its way :)

all you have to do is to just hang in there... and wait.. wait for your time...

:) :) love this movie :)

Barfi!!!!! :)

I am writing a post after a long time J well, because I have watched a wonderful beautiful movie after a long time…

Barfi, actually there are so many things I loved about the movie…

First things I loved that life always offers you second chances, its upto us to take them, and we can always take a second chance when we let go completely of what was our first chance, if you know what I mean J. When we truly believe that tomorrow is a new day with new priorities, with new opportunities. When we are no longer scared to risk it again!!! We just have to give love a chance, and magic! It happens!

And that the biggest risk in life is not taking any risks!! Makes so much sense J

Also loved one dialogue in the movie the most, that when we fall in love, we do so without thinking, we never decide and love… it just happens, so when we fall in love without thinking, why do we think so later, but not simply just love J

What I also loved about the movie is, when you love a person, that person is your priority, and it doesn’t matter what priorities people in your past had, you would always shift your priorities. It is impossible to believe in this, considering we don’t trust the “future”, but take examples from your past. Consider a friend with whom you shared some really great moments, memorable happy one’s, but now though you shared so much happiness then, doesn’t hold the same priority, the only people who are your priority are the people whom you love, and who love you back, people who respect you for the person you are… and love you for the person you are always!!

And yes, if you give love a chance(again!) it will surely come into your life… J

The movie is about being happy always, finding happiness in small little things… happiness doesn’t depend on the place, situation, circumstances, other people’s decisions, your happiness depends on you, and you can be happy if you want to be happy J its as simple as that J just smile, be grateful for what life has offered, and be happy J the choice has always been and is yours.

Also loved the trust test in the movie J when you trust a person, you never think of anything else, you simply just trust the person…… it touched my heart so much, when Jhilmil doesn’t leave his side, actually she is unaware of anything else, J she just knows that Barfi is with her, and that’s what matters to her J that scene is my favorite one J

A letter to God..

I remembered pouring my heart to you, good and bad, happiness and sadness, excitement and anxiety, just the way I am feeling, being myself, with no pretence, no fake emotions, just me, because you know me through and through, you have created me, you have planned every moment of my life, and I also remember you telling me then, I will be with you always and I will always love you for the person you are and the person you will grow to become, you are mine...... and today when I enter the same church after 3 and a half years, I hear your voice in my heart again, I will be with you, Maria, I will never leave you, and so it has been God, you have never left me, and you have always answered that one prayer that I pray, Thy Will be done, now and always....... :)

It doesn't matter where you have been, it matters where you are going... :) :)

Hello guys,  I know its long time since I have written on my blog, but today I so want to share with ul the amazing retreat that I went to last weekend.

Ok first I wasn’t going to go for this “theology of the body” retreat, I was like ok, “I-don’t-think-this-is-going-to-make-a-difference-in-my-life”, or “I-don’t-need-this-in-my-life”, or “I-know-everything-that-is-important-to-me”. But alas I was proven wrong, right left and center.

I decided to go on Thursday. And I am so glad I went. I can’t thank God and all my friends enough who have acted as instruments to bring me to this retreat and closer to God, to know that yes I am a precious child of God, I was created by Him, in His own image, He has a perfect plan for me, if I trust him completely he will work his plan in my life.

There were various questions in life that keep bothering us:

Is there a real purpose to life and if so, what is it?

Yes we were created in God’s image, and God is love, so we were created to love, to give ourselves for the greater glory of God. Through our actions, words and deeds, we ultimately show love. Like the Blessed Mother Teresa said, we can’t do great things, but small things with great love.

What is love?

True love is when you want the good of other’s over your ownself.

True love is Free, Total, Faithful and Fruitful. If none of these conditions are satisfied then you know it is not true love…

Then one of the speakers gave a very good example of how we view ourselves, of sometimes how we judge ourselves, how we so many times fail to forgive ourselves and move on…

She took a brand new 100R note in her hand and showed it to the participants. Asked them if anyone needed it, obviously everyone wanted the money J then, she crumpled it, stamped on it and asked them the same question, but yes everyone still wanted it J because it was still worth 100R, then she asked them even if I put it under my armpit would ul still want it? And everyone was like yes, we still want it.

She even made it wet, and asked them do ul still want it? And alas everyone still wanted it, because whatever she did with the note, the “value” of the note wasn’t reduced, it was still a 100R.

The same is with us, when God created us, we were new, but as time passed and we knew the ways of the world and the pleasures of the world, we sinned, we were crumpled, sometimes by others and sometimes by our own spirits, we chose to walk on the darker paths in life, we felt miserable about taking the wrong decisions in life. We all go through the difficult times in life, And at those particular moments, we make decisions based on a lot of factors. Some of us wonder why me God, and some of us wonder, How could I not see it that time? How come I was so foolish? You probably wouldn't react the same way now and that's a good thing. It shows that you've grown. You've learned something from it.  But you had to go through it to get the lesson.

Our lives are about the decisions we make, about the choices we make in life, so if we have gone through a difficult time, we can decide now about the choice we are going to make today about it. What are we going to do about our lives? Are we going to learn from our mistakes and begin a new day? Or are we going to go back to where we were? The choice is ours.

my Forever friend :)

"Sometimes in life, you find a special friend. Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete because you need not worry. You have a forever friend, and forever has no end."
---Unknown

i could so relate to this, feel blessed to have a forever friend :)

Realizations of a human mind --- Part 1 :P

Well, as the post says, realizations of the human mind… well, first off I realized that, the human mind gets bored of depression, u may feel depressed for a long period of time, but when you are feeling the lowest, it will not want to feel more depressed. Its when you are feeling the lowest, that u will rebound and come back to your senses. Just accept the state you are in, accept that this is a result of the past, accept that its ok, its fine to feel this way, accept that you are weak as you human. Do yourself a favour and give yourself time to heal, time to get back to where you want to be. Don’t try to fix the problem consciously, try to just divert your mind to other priorities.

Now, when I talk of priorities, you should give yourself the first priority, do things that make “u” happy, let your mind be free, not bound by anything, well that is love in its true form, to be free, so if u love yourself, set your mind free, let it go, let it think what it is thinking, don’t bind it with anything.. you are not bound to do anything, and you are never ever bound to hold on to the past…

Well, secondly after you have accepted that you are depressed and don’t want to stay that way, accept that this didn’t work, and not cling to it, in the hope that it will work, some hopes don’t bear fruit, so we should let go… accept that this won’t change by your clinging to it, leave it, learn to trust yourself that you exist even if the past doesn’t. Sometimes when something didn’t work out in the past, we stop trusting ourselves, like I had stopped.

But one thing we tend to forget here is, the person we are within, our soul, is still the same, no one ever can change that, not even drastic circumstances. We have to believe there is a hero within us:

There's a hero If you look inside your heart. You don't have to be afraid Of what you are .There's an answer If you reach into your soul. And the sorrow that you know Will melt away. And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on. And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive. So wen u feel like hope is gone. Look inside u and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in YOU......a song by Mariah Carey…..

So believe there is a HERO, in u, a beautiful wonderful person that God created. Sometimes some very superficial things cloud our mind of who we are, we forget our essence, our true being. We forget the beauty of our soul, but you will be reminded of urself when you see yourself being just the way you were… I was reminded of this myself…. You just have to go back to being you, just how you were…… and its possible!!! Just give yourself a chance… :-)

In the end, God has a plan, a wonderful plan, and you will reach your destiny, the one God has planned for you, even if you took a detour, God will pave another path for you, and you will reach it.. because that’s how it is….. :-)

Theology of the Body!!!

http://savinggraces.blogspot.com/2011/09/theology-of-body-in-sa.html

Well, this is my friends Post on the talk I attended yesterday. :) Do read :)
and she will be posting more so ul can even follow it, i am also going to write about what struck me the most :)

It made a difference to this one!!!!

An inspiring story i cam across...  :)
When you are trying to do some good in the world, and it makes a difference to atleast one, you should be grateful for atleast that one!!!


Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.
He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"
The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."
"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.
To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."
Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"
At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."

This story is written by Mr. Loren Eiseley.

My Testimony :)

There is so much confusion in my mind… confusion of whether what I am doing is right? What exactly is God’s will? Sometimes we take decisions in our lives and later we wonder if it was in line with what god wanted.. whether it was this that God had planned for me? What if I had not taken this step how would my life be? What if I had not taken any decision and left God to do whatever his plans were? The series of “what if” would continue…

I was asking this to God in my heart, and here came the answer:

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

So here we are all called according to his purpose.. so there is nothing… absolutely nothing that happens if it is not God’s will.. here I mean about decisions that you r taking…

Proverbs 16:9

A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

“God has editing rights over our prayers. He will . . . edit them, correct them, bring them in line with His will and then hand them back to us to be resubmitted.”

– Stephen Crotts

Well, as always I came across these two lines, and don’t you think it’s so true, we can ask what we want, but God has the editing authority, he edits our prayers so we finally get what our heart is deeply yearning for… we might sometimes fail to understand what our heart deeply yearns for… but nothing WILL happen if it’s not HIS will…I would like to share two testimonies, where God gave me what I wanted, and one where he edited and gave it to me….. J

Well, exactly 5 years ago, as I was completing my graduation, it was my deepest desire to get a job through campus… that’s what I was studying for; it was why I had been so sincere, hardworking during my 4 years of engineering… I was very focused on what I wanted.. I wanted a job through campus. My didi had told me when I had joined engineering, that I had to study hard, get good marks, and as I was intelligent(it was her faith in me :P) I would get a job in campus, and this stress of getting good marks was due to the example of my brother. My brother is very very intelligent, way more than I am, but due to his focus on football, he never scored much in engg, resulting in a little struggle till he finally got a good job.. so I remember didi telling me to do whatever it takes to get a job through campus. And that was my ultimate goal… and I would like to share of how I got it exactly… not the way I expected.. But surely there could have been no better way!!!!

I was a good scorer in college, and as the companies that would come for campus interviews normally kept a cut-off, I was sure I would be able to attempt for all the aptitude tests… but alas, when I calculated my aggregate, it came out to be 57.something %, and most companies would ask for 58% and above.. so here goes my first disappointment.. Infosys, came and went, many companies came and went and I never gave the aptitude because I wasn’t eligible.. Then I remember Cognizant coming for campus… and I would always ask all of them if I could sit for the aptitude even though my aggregate was less than 58%. But all of them would say no,L. That day while I was idling in college, one of my friends just asked me, “how come ur aggregate is less than 58%? it’s not possible, you have scored well in all ur semesters.. Give me your marksheets.. lemme check..” and I was like, “come on how can I make a mistake in calculation, maths is like MY subject” but anyways he took my marksheets and he calculated them, and to our surprise it was 59%, I had indeed calculated it wrong. But instead of being happy that now I am eligible, I was very irritated, frustrated for all the opportunities lost, for all the chances I had just let go, and I remember going home and telling didi this and crying the entire night, for being so foolish, for all the lost chances, and I had just one question in my heart: why God??????? And God never gave me the answer.. Not immediately though J But I remember didi telling me, God must have something good planned for you… don’t worry… by somehow believing in her words I was hopeful again.. Yes god must have some plans for me, I am his child…so I was again hopeful.. But as most companies had come and gone, I had very few chances now and I had to make it through any of them…

Well, then as we were nearing the end of our year, Emerson, one of the best in our industry, had put on their notice that they would be recruiting freshers from our college. This came as a surprise, because, Emerson had never earlier come to our college for campus, so everyone was excited and me too… and as the story goes, I was the only one who got a job in Emerson, through campus of our college.

And that day, when I got the offer letter in my hand, I smiled and thanked God for finally giving me what I actually wanted.. and then I realized that even though I wanted a job through campus, I never wanted to work in a software company, I had taken Instrumentation as my stream, because I didn’t want to work in software… so u see God finally gave me what I wanted, but in his own way. I can never forget this big miracle that God did in my life…… and this job has given me so much than I could have ever asked for, so you see God knows the deepest yearnings of our heart, even though we have our own superficial one’s, he knows what we actually truly deeply want.

And the second one, is of my deputation to South Africa.. Well, a year back, I wanted to be away from my home town, wanted to stay alone for a year or so, for personal reasons. And I again turned to God for this… I informed my managers etc etc, that this was what I wanted and if there was any requirement I would be more than grateful if ul gave me the opportunity. And there was a requirement of a long term deputation to go to South Korea. But after getting my visa, all formalities done, the deputation was cancelled… I was so close to getting what I wanted, but God had other plans… I waited and waited.. Then came the South Africa deputation, and it was for 1.5 years, just what I wanted, and God answered my prayers. And I am so so lucky to be here, have met such wonderful people here, I feel truly blessed to be here. Now, here I always ask myself what if I had not wanted to go for a long term deputation… but I know the answer, God will never do anything if it is not HIS will, just as South Korea never happened. There would be no flight that would take me to South Africa, if it wasn’t God’s Will. I know this is God’s Will. He will never give me anything if it is not in line with his WILL J

There are so many miracles God has performed in my life, these are just an account of two of them, and I have written these down, so when ul are confused, wondering what’s happening, or what’s going to happen, ul know that God is always there, if u ask him to help you.. He will speak to you, give u answers u r looking for……. And this post is mostly for me to realize that God will continue to do miracles in my life… I just need to trust him, have no fear in my heart, but trust him with all my heart……..

some beautiful lines

some beautiful lyrics from the serial bade achche lagte hai :)

i absolutely love this serial :)

Dheere dheere hole hole chupke se ab hoga. Kahte hai hum pyar jise naa jaane kab hoga. Bade Achche lagte hai Yeh Dharti ,yeh nadiyaa, yeh rainaa aur ? Aur tum mm mmmm

Dil Ki Dhadkan Badhti Jaye Saamne Jab Woh Aaye.... Pyar Isiko Kahte Hai Kya Koi Yeh Samjhaye...... Magar Sachche Lagte Hai....... Yeh Dharti ,yeh nadiyaa, yeh rainaa aur ? Aur tum mm mmmm.... Bade Achche Lagte Hai........

 

My first angel in SA :)

I remember the day very much, it was very very cold. I had just arrived by Jet Airways to Johannesburg, South Africa.

There was one colleague from my office who was already here and he had the keys to my house here, so I had to come to his house to collect my keys. So morning 9:00 a.m., I arrived at his house. I had never met him in India before.

I knocked and his wife opened the door, and there was a 2 and a half/3 year old kid in her arms. I smiled. And Mahi smiled back. So I had made my first friend in South Africa. The kid had those curious, innocent eyes. That was the first thing I noticed about her.

As it was cold, I entered inside. Chetana, her mom asked me whether I will have tea, but I was very tired and wanted to have a shower soon, so I declined, and I could see Mahi was a little annoyed, so I decided to sit for a longer time and asked for coffee.

I searched for my purse and I had a 5 star with me (luckily) and gave it to her, she just wouldnt take her eyes off me, probably because she thought that I would go. She was clinging to her mother and having her milk now. They bribed her, that I would stay if she finishes her milk, and I too nodded when her parents made the deal.

She finished her milk and I finished my coffee, glancing at each other, me trying to make small converstaion with her.

Her mom informed me that they were the only Indians in that locality, and there were no children in their complex, so Mahi loved when people came home. It seems she was excited way before I was going to come :-)

After a promise that we all will go out later after 1 hr, Mahi finally allowed me to go, though not very happy or sure about the fact that we will meet.

From that day onwards, Mahi and me had become good friends. She would make me forget about my troubles and I would feel like life is beautiful with such angels around me.

I would be the baby sitter, (her parents willingly, enjoying some time together) play slides with her, sing songs with her, tell her stories again and again. :-) and she is such a loving child, very stubborn I should say :P and also very energetic, very active, doesnt quite like a non-activity moment. Keeps you on your toes, in the literal sense.

She has taught me so many things, of enjoying each moment and being happy to the fullest. When I am with her, I am completely immersed in what she is saying to me, her interesting stories about school, or the way she spend her day, or simply about her curious questions about so many things. She is quite an entertainer, knows her "munni badnaam" and dances on "sheela ki jawani".

Now that she has gone, I miss her so much :)

But I now realize why I loved this city from the day I came, because I had found an angel on the first day, who was always there to cheer me up with her innocent loving ways :)

Miss u Mahi :)

Names Black People have :) :P

Well, the black people here in South Africa are quite weird. They have names like Beauty, Priviledge, Knowledge, Justice, Innocent etc etc.. Isn't that extremely funny.. yes they are NAMES of people :) means the other day we had been in a restaurant and the waitress was named Memory :D i found it so so funny :)

Anyways, yesteraday had been to a function, and the MC was a comedian, and was cracking jokes on black people (he himself being black) and he said a funny thing :) he said imagine if a guy named knowledge went to the army then he would be called General Knowledge :) :D LOL :D oh god was i laughing or what :) funny :) i love this country for everything :) the people are so lovely :)

Toh Zinda ho Tum

ZNMD - Imran Poetry - Toh Zinda Ho Tum

Beautiful poetry :) and the best scene of the movie!!!!

Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum

Nazar mein khwabon ki
Bijliyaan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum

Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise
Aazad rehna seekho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise
Lehron mein behna seekho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo
Khole apni baahein
Har ek pal ek naya sama
Dekhen yeh nigahaein
Jo apni aankhon mein
Hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum

Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum

what u REALLY want!!

Remembered a dialogue from Jab we met, after chatting with a friend via mails...

"jo kuch insaan real main chahta hai, actual main, use wohi milta hai..."

and then i remembered the story too, yes after certain time Shahid Kapoor is full of positive energy. he gets what he wants, peace of mind and he also responsibly takes over from his dad's business :)

but what about the girl who told this dialogue, she didnt get married to Anshuman and then i realized that maybe she had a doubt in her mind, somewhere that he wouldnt get married to her, and if u have a doubt how would u want to get married to someone who doesnt want to get married to you, u wouldnt want that, you would want to be accepted and loved :) and i was wondering ki woh actual main chahti kya thi?? shayad sirf sachcha pyaar, shayad adventurous zindagi ;-) whatever the case...

it is true, insaan jo sachme chahta hai use wohi milta hai, kabhi hum jaante nahi hai hum kya chahte hai, kahi chupa hota hai woh but samajh aa jayega :) agar tum chaho toh :)

u always get what u REALLY, ACTUALLY want :)

Oh! The Places You'll go!!!

An inspirational poem i came across...

http://www.teamhope.com/seuss.htm

Oh! The Places You’ll Go!
by the incomparable Dr. Seuss

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
You’ll look up and down streets. Look’em over with care. About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.” With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down a not-so-good street.
And you may not find any you’ll want to go down. In that case, of course, you’ll head straight out of town. It’s opener there in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you.

And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too.
Oh! The Places You’ll Go!
You’ll be on your way up!
You’ll be seeing great sights!
You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.
You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed. You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, you’ll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don’t.
Because, sometimes, you won’t.
I’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.
You can get all hung up in a prickle-ly perch. And your gang will fly on. You’ll be left in a Lurch.
You’ll come down from the Lurch with an unpleasant bump. And the chances are, then, that you’ll be in a Slump.
And when you’re in a Slump, you’re not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked. Some windows are lighted. But mostly they’re darked. A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin! Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in? How much can you lose? How much can you win?
And if you go in, should you turn left or right…or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite? Or go around back and sneak in from behind? Simple it’s not, I’m afraid you will find, for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.
You can get so confused that you’ll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place…for people just waiting.

Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or No or waiting for their hair to grow. Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite or waiting around for Friday night or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil, or a Better Break or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or Another Chance. Everyone is just waiting.
No! That’s not for you!

Somehow you’ll escape all that waiting and staying. You’ll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing. With banner flip-flapping, once more you’ll ride high! Ready for anything under the sky. Ready because you’re that kind of a guy!
Oh, the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all. Fame! You’ll be famous as famous can be, with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.
Except when they don’t. Because, sometimes, they won’t.
I’m afraid that some times you’ll play lonely games too. Games you can’t win ‘cause you’ll play against you.
All Alone!

Whether you like it or not, Alone will be something you’ll be quite a lot.
And when you’re alone, there’s a very good chance you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won’t want to go on.
But on you will go though the weather be foul. On you will go though your enemies prowl. On you will go though the Hakken-Kraks howl. Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak. On and on you will hike. And I know you’ll hike far and face up to your problems whatever they are.
You’ll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)

Kid, you’ll move mountains!
So…be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ale Van Allen O’Shea, you’re off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So…get on your way!

Thought provoking!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
quien eres tu? (Who are you?)
donde has astado? (where have you been?)
he removido cielo y tierra y no te encontre
(i've moved the heaven and the earth but i coudn't find you

Y llegas hoy, (but you arrive today,)
tan de repente, (so suddenly,)
y das sentido a toda mi vida con tu querer
(and you give meaning to my whole life with your love)


na main samjha...na main jaana...jo bhi tum ne mujhse kaha hai Senorita
magar phir bhi...na jaane kyun...mujhe sunke accha laga hai Senorita

no desvies la mirada (don't look away)
quedate cerca de mi (stay close to me)

mujhko baahon mein tum ghero, samjheen na Senorita

chaahat ke do pal bhi mil paayein
duniya mein yeh bhi kam hai kya
do pal ko to aao kho jaayein
bhoolein hum hota ghum hai kya
Senorita, suno suno, Senorita kehte hain hum kya


jamas podre (i will never)
interpretar (understand)
el sentido de las palabras que me dedicas
(the meaning of the words you dedicate to me)

pero el calor (but the warmth)
de tu mirar (of your gaze)
me hace sentir como la mas bella senorita
(makes me like the most beautiful senorita

nigahon ne nigahon se kahi armaanon ki daastaan hai Senorita
ke chaahat ki, mohabbat ki saari duniya mein ek hi zubaan hai Senorita
mujhse ab nazar na phero, aao paas tum mere
mujhko baahon mein tum ghero, samjheen na Senorita

chaahat ke do pal bhi mil paayein
duniya mein yeh bhi kam hai kya
do pal ko to aao kho jaayein
bhoolein hum hota ghum hai kya
Senorita, suno suno, Senorita kehte hain hum kya


jo bhi pal beeta hey Senorita
har pal tumne hai dil jeeta bas itni si to baat hai

no desvies la mirada (don't look away)
quedate cerca de mi (stay close to me)

mujhko baahon mein tum ghero, samjheen na Senorita

chaahat ke do pal bhi mil paayein
duniya mein yeh bhi kam hai kya
do pal ko to aao kho jaayein
bhoolein hum hota ghum hai kya

chaahat ke do pal bhi mil paayein
duniya mein yeh bhi kam hai kya
do pal ko to aao kho jaayein
bhoolein hum hota ghum hai kya

Kisi Ko Sapna Lagey Tu, Kisi Ko Behti Hawaa
Kisi Ko Bas Baaton Mein, Kare Pal Mein Yahaan Wahaan
Kisi Ke Sau Jhoot Sun Le, Kisi Ka Sacch Bhi Gunaah
Kisi Ka Bas Yaadon Mein, Kare Hulchul Saara Jahaan
Te Amo Me Te Amo
Tu Chhaanv Hai, Tu Dhoop Hai
Te Amo Me Te Amo
Tere Hazaron Roop Hai
Koi Samjha Nahin, Jo Bhi Hai Bas Khoob Hai
Falling So Crazy In Love
Te Amo Me Te Amo
Tu Chhaanv Hai, Tu Dhoop Hai
Te Amo Me Te Amo
Tere Hazaaron Roop Hai

-Sunidhi Chauhan-
Kabhi Lagey Raaton Mein Main Khwaabon Se Baatien Karoon Subah Unhi
Khwaabon Ko Main Kaabu Karoon
Kabhi Lagey Taaron Se Bhi, Unche Udaane Bharoon
Kabhi Lagey Baadalon Se Jaibein Bharoon
--

Te Amo Me Te Amo
Taare Ginu Tere Liye
Te Amo Me Te Amo
Saare Chunu Tere Liye
Khwaab Saare Bunu Tere Hi Tere Liye
Falling So Crazy In Love
Te Amo Me Te Amo
Taare Ginu Tere Liye
Te Amo Me Te Amo

-Sunidhi Chauhan-
Kabhi Lagey Mili Nahin, Tumse Main Khwaabon Mein Bhi
Kabhi Lagey Kahin Toh Hai Ristha Koi
Kabhi Lagey Chhu Tumhe, Yunhi Khayalon Mein Hi
Kabhi Lagey Nahin Nahin Chori Nahin
--

Te Amo Me Te Amo
Tu Paas Hai Par Door Hai
Te Amo Me Te Amo
Jaata Nahin Yeh Noor Hai
Teri Chori Bhi Yeh Manzoor Manzoor Hai
Falling So Crazy In Love
Te Amo Me Te Amo

Te Amo Me Te Amo
Jaata Nahin Yeh Noor Hai

Your Destiny :-)

Well, I tried to relate driving to life…

And I was revealed with two very important things:

One is that when you are driving, suppose you know where you are going, like you know the destination but if there are no street lights on your road, would you doubt whether your destination really exists or not?? No right!!! Even though you cannot see your destination, and you can probably only see for the next 50 to 100m, but still you drive in the dark, because you know your destinations exists, even though you can’t see it at the moment.

For eg, I stay in Pune, and I drive to Bombay, it is a straight road, and I can see only for the nest 50 to 100m, but do ul doubt whether I will reach Bombay, no right, ul would be 100% sure that I would reach Bombay because Bombay exists, it just that you can’t see it from where you are doesn’t make it an illusion J Bombay exists and so does your destination J because God has planned your life even before you were born..

Jeremiah 29:11 says:  For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

And the second most important thing is, ok suppose there are many different routes to go to you destination, and God had planned you to go by one route, but you decided on a different route, coz it was your choice, would you still reach your destination, for sure yes J

Its like a drive with a GPS, you feed in your destination co-ordinates on the GPS, even before you start off the journey. That’s what God does, he decided your life for you while you were in your mother’s womb.... and after you feed the co-ordinates in the GPS, it keeps giving you directions, the GPS says, after 500m take a right, after 300m take a right, after 100m take a right, but you (smart as you are ;-)) drive past the right turn.

Does the GPS say, now you are lost… there is nothing that can be done, you will never reach your destination! NO!!!!!!!!!!!

The GPS finds out another route for you that will lead you to your destination J

In the same way, God has planned our lives so much beautifully for you, you are his child. And would a parent want anything less than a child’s happiness?? Never. So trust in the Lord and no matter whichever route you go, god will make a way where there seems to be no way, he works in ways we cannot see, he will make a way for you J

A Poem for my True Friends :)

You have been with me through thick and thin

You are my best defense for a certain win

You light up my day

With ur heart so full of love....

When I think about you

The first thought that comes to my mind

Is you have always been there for me

And that’s what matters in friendship

It doesn’t matter how often we talk

What matters is we’ll be there for each other no matter what

I know I can share anything with you

Be it silly, stupid but true

And you don’t judge me based on that

Coz u see my heart beneath that

You always inspire me when I am really down

You always know how to say the right thing

You have always inspired me to be me

Becoz u made me believe in the person of me

You r very close to my heart

And I know I am also to urs

And no matter where we are

I know ill always find you beside me wherever we are

Undying Faith...................

Faith.. it’s the one thing common to all religions….

Well, in today’s world there are so many religions everyone is following. Some people believe in the “Supernatural Power” some in “Ganpati” some in “Jesus Christ” some in “Allah”, but in the end what matters is the amount of faith you have in whatever you believe in.

Faith makes miracles happen, not the God.  I know being a Catholic I am making a very wrong sentence here, but who can answer my question of why miracles happen when people pray with faith to “Ganpati”, why do miracles happen when people pray with faith to “Allah”. There is no answer to these questions right?

So that makes me believe in all religions, you choose the one in which you have faith. You have faith that “your God” will always, no matter what, make your life the way you pray (want) it to be.

Or let me put it that way, that makes me come back to the “the secret” theory. That your life is how you make it. That if you believe in something, have faith that it will happen, there is no possibility that it won’t happen because there is no chance that it can’t happen. As in “the Secret” book, the author calls it “the Universe”, she refers to the Law of Attraction:

It states that: “Everything that’s coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And its attracted to you by virtue of the images your holding in your mind. Its what you’re thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind, you are attracting.”

So if you are thinking of a miracle, then you sure are going to attract a miracle in your life :-)
