These are a few of my favourite thoughts.. ;-)

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colours. But they all have to learn to live in the same box.

I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things.

Thumb Rules

I saw a lady sitting peacefully yesterday. She was sitting in a small 'Tapri' kind of thing selling cigarettes and other such stuff. There was a purane zamane ka phone (the one which did not have the comfortable press buttons but those rotating dial), which I presumed made the 'Tapri', a PCO (I wonder in today's mobile world who uses a PCO).What's so different in that? But the most striking thing of the whole scene was that she was sitting inside the 'Tapri' without any lights or candles at 7:30 pm on that cold January evening. I initially thought that there might be some electrical problem but when I observed carefully, a shiver ran through my spine. The lady was blind and it did nt make a difference to her whether it was broad light or lurking darkness. It was the same to her!

It was such a blow to me which triggered an emotional and philosophical catastrophe.

I realized how lucky I was to see this darkness and feel the need of light to see different things. I could see people, things, images, and colors-the Wonderful world.

I suddenly started valuing the fact that I could see the world and eyes made me what I am. I imagine things because of them. I dream of being on trip with my boyfriend because I have seen him. I feel good when I wear good clothes because I have seen them on myself. I am writing this because I have eyes.....

I never valued my eyes so much I did yesterday. I realized if I lose these pair how will my life be. And then I realized the same was with all the other organs of my body. I will miss them if I don't have them but don't value it when I have it today. The other day I hurt my right thumb and could not move it and I realized how dependent I was on this thumb and so many things could not be done because it was not functional.,

Why is that we realize the importance of something only after we lose it...



Tell me isn't it true with people too? We miss people only after they are gone (temporary or permanently).when we are with them we feel irritated, we fight, we crib and when we go separate ways we realize and cherish each day spent with them and find that life without them is meaningless. We miss them and feel paralyzed without them but till then its too late...



The incident stamped me with the fact I need to value things I have- the healthy body, the good job, awesome family, loving friends, the sufficient finance,,,,the list goes on! And really it makes me feel how lucky to have all these things...



Thank you god (i am not an atheist, u see)!!And i love you mummy daddy!!!!

Life teaches us lot of different things as we grow old. It depends upon us what and how we learn from it. Making the same mistake again and again shows that we have not taken these lessons seriously.

But the main question all of us have is" How do we know that what we are doing right now is going to be termed as a mistake at the end?"
Most of us don't want to make mistakes on purpose. It is circumstances which turn it into a mistake .

Say, you are driving into a new city and you need to find a particular street. You take a road, ask for directions, follow the sign-boards but still there is a good chance that you land up on the wrong street. So is it not a mistake? You thought you were on the right path and were making sure from your part that you really are. But still you ended up in the wrong street and realized it was a mistake!

Okay! Now you have the chance of going back and finding the street again but what if you have finished up with your fuel and stuck up in the wrong street. You can't go back home or find the right street. Then what do you do? I would say go ahead, get on your feet and find the path again.

Never get disheartened. You will surely get what you desire or maybe something much better than you desire...
At the end of the day, we all need to realize that we all make mistakes and we are destined to do the same.
So don't be scared of making mistakes because as someone great once said "The only one who never makes mistake is the one who never does anything"
