Denial mode

2010-07-09T09:57:00.000+05:30

It hurts when people whom u hold close to your heart, become rude. But then the mistake lies with in us, we start expecting too much, even when we know what the reality is. Living in denial mode is so wrong.

Death does not favour the fortunate ones.

2010-05-24T11:13:00.000+05:30

My maid told me how children of her relatives died due to negligence of their parents and the MCD. one fell in the gutter and was found 3 days later. one elder boy fell in the huge drain while running after a kite.

and then i realised that doesn't favour the fortunate ones either. The plane crash just depicts that. money or no money, luxury or poverty. No one can escape the cruel hands of death.

Children of the world

2010-05-07T16:53:00.000+05:30

In this world:

the softest thing is : your child's hands.

the most painful thing is : when your child cries.

the most helpless feeling : when your child wants something and you can't give it to them, for their own good.

the most peaceful moment is : when your child is sleeping peacefully.

the most joyful moment is : when your child wakes up smiling.

the most happy moment is : when your child learns to do a new thing.

the most saddest moment is : when u regret scolding your child.

Children are the gifts of God. The purest and the most innocent being on the earth.

Teens, 20's, 30's and.................. the 40;s?

2010-04-15T10:33:00.001+05:30

When we are teenagers we feel the whole world is against us. We want to do so much , but are not allowed. A lot of awkwardness, and embarrassment surrounds us. In the 20's , we feel that we know everything now, we have learnt it all. We are particular about how we dress, how we keep our house, how we serve.And when we are in the 30's, we feel that there is an altogether different meaning to life. Things are not really how they seem to be. There are many layers. some of the things become simpler , while the simple things become complicated. But some kind of wisdom dawns upon us. Whats going to happen in the 40's.......no clue. huge mystery.

life's moving fast!

2010-04-14T10:41:00.000+05:30

Life is passing zip, zap. zoom. Things of the past seem like yesterday. And we are getting old, may be not in the mind! but physically yes! And its bloody scary.

who is to judge?

2010-03-22T16:44:00.000+05:30

There are times when one realises that time is passing by so quickly, and we feel that we have not done enough for ourselves and for others. when we look around ourselves we find that people have progressed. and we seem to be stagnated in some areas of our lives. But then who decides who is successful and who is not? Should we judge ourselves, because we know ourselves the best, or Should we let others judge us, or not get judged at all?

Should we feel sorry for the time we wasted on frivolous activities, or just see them as times from which we have also learnt something , no matter how small.

what will happen later?

2010-03-09T23:07:00.000+05:30

i wonder sometimes, if we suddenly go away from this world someday, who is going to manage our blogs. infactwhat will happen to all our mails and accounts. strange! :)

why do we change?

2010-03-07T13:01:00.000+05:30

Sometimes its difficult to understand self. things that we always believe we wouldnt do, we end up doing exactly that. it gets difficult to stop urself. brings in a lot of guilt, and probably shame. and one wonders what happened to all the principles we always believed in?

Apparently true stories from British Hospitals !

2009-08-19T20:30:00.000+05:30

A man dashes into the A&E dept. and yells . . . 'My wife's going to have her baby in the taxi'.

I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the taxi, lifted the lady's dress and began to take off her underwear.

Suddenly after protests from the lady I noticed that there were several taxis - - - and I was in the wrong one.

Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald , St Andrews Hosp. Glasgow

At the beginning of my shift, I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall.

'Big breaths,'. I instructed.

'Yes, they used to be,'. . . replied the patient.

Submitted by Dr. Richard Barnes , St.Thomas's Bath

During a patient's two week follow-up appointment, he told me that he was having trouble with one of his medications. .

'Which one ?'. . ... I asked.

'The patch; the Nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!'

I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body!

Now, the instructions includes removal of the old patch before applying a new one.

Submitted by Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk General

A nurse was on duty in the A&E when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos,

and wearing strange clothing, entered . . .

It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for an immediate operation..

When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green,

and above it there was a tattoo that read . . .'Keep off the grass'

Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which read

'Sorry . . . had to mow the lawn.'

2009-02-07T22:44:00.000+05:30

it happened a few days ago that my daughter inikia was about to have a bath, when suddenly i saw a creature like an earthworm. i immediately squashed it without a second thought in my head. i was so amazed at this reaction of mine. im a firm believer of not hurting any animal, bird or insect, ofcourse if here is no reason. but it is the mothers instinct which makes all the difference.

Why were we taught good things then?

2008-08-09T15:48:00.000+05:30

A friend of mine migrated from a distant village in India to New Delhi few years back. It took him quite some time to "adjust" to the city and its lifestyle. He wrote to me recently:

"If we can make money and become influential by telling lies and doing immoral things, why did our parents teach us to speak the truth and do what is right?"

Worthy of a huge international, perhaps universal discussion.

Though he doesn't know much about "Bush" as yet.

everybody has a story

2008-07-02T13:46:00.000+05:30

everybody has a story in their lives.whether its a man walking on the street, or a man flying a plane, a man cutting wood, or a man working on a computer.we all have a story in our life which makes us what we are today. Our attitude , our behaviour is due to what has happened to us in the past. i believe a person behaves in a certain way becoz of what he has experienced. We see people all around who are anxious, over confident, scared, happy, funny, sad, quiet, over talkitive, rude. Im reminded of a man who used had his own show on tv. He used to pick up the directory , open any page, and put his hand in any number, and call that person , and then finally make a doucumentry on him. He believed that every one has a past and a story to it. so next time u see a stranger, remember that he too has something in his life which u dont know and u dont have.

The Pastor's Ass

2008-06-22T01:48:00.000+05:30

A pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.

The local paper read:
PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the Pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day, the local paper headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS.

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:
NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.

The next day the paper read:
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:
NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The bishop was buried the next day.

The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery . . even shorten your life.

So be yourself and enjoy life.

Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer!

Treat the earth as your own

2008-06-14T22:28:00.000+05:30

lets reuse and recycle.lets Lets treat the earth as our own.lets contribute as much as we can to keep this environment clean and healthy.we can start with simple things and make a huge difference.

1.Dont waste paper unneccsarily. Use the back side of papers which are of no use, as rough pads, instead of buying new ones. And when using fresh papers try to write a size or two small than u uaually do.u will be amazed to see how much more u can "fit in" the same paper.

2.when brushing ur teeth, turn off the tap, and turn it on when u need it. And same for shower as well. when appying soap, turn it off.

3.Dont litter.keep a polythene in ur Car, bag, Purse.

4.Try to use poythene as less as possible.

5.When staying at the hotel , try to turn off the lights and AC, if u r going out for a long time.
6. if u have overhead tanks, put a simple alarm which lets u know the tank is full and its time to turn off the motor.
i can proudly say that i follow all of the above and gives me immense satisfaction that i am contributing to save the environment, however little that may be.

Someone is out there!!!

2008-06-14T11:41:00.000+05:30

Do u believe in Aliens, UFOs, and the other world? Do u think someone is out there trying to get in touch with "us"? Do u think someone is smarter than us ?

Ibelieve in it. And im sure if we all believe in it , it will make our world more "united".Imagine all the countries "getting together" "against" the aliens. we will forget all our differences , and will work together to counter them(if they are here to hurt us, that is).The stories of time stopping, abductees, or the unanswerable marks on the body , or the metal like sheets just cruching like plastic and getting back in shape, or the remains of the flying machines (or the aliens for that matter ) is just too exciting.im sure, the more we ponder over it , the more it will open our minds , and bring us together!!!

Do we have the right to crib?

2008-06-14T11:28:00.000+05:30

when we look around us , we find so many people who are less fortunate than us.whether its a child begging at the traffic light, or a man sleeping on the flyover , or a person who is wearing a warm blanket in peak summer coz he has nothing more to cover himself, or young children puffing away.it just forces me to think that do we have a right to crib about the jams on the road , or low voltage or the maid not turning up yet another time. It just breaks my heart to see the suffering around us. But we convinently look the other way , pretending that it doesnot exists.I feel that if all of us make just a little effort to help the less privledged around us , it will make a better place to live in .And it will also make us less guilty when we indulge in food, fun and shopping.

God created the donkey

and said to him.
"You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset
carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass,
you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years."
The donkey answered:
"I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years"
God granted his wish.
............................................................................................
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God created the dog

and said to him:
"You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend.
You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years.
You will be a dog. "
The dog answered:
"Sir, to live 30 years is too much,give me only 15 years.
" God granted his wish.
...........................................................................................
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God created the monkey

and said to him:
"You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks.
You will be amusing and you will live
20 years. "
The monkey answered:
"To live 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years."
God granted his wish.
...........................................................................................
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally God created man ...

and said to him:
"You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth.
You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals.
You will dominate the world and you will live 20 years."

Man responded:
"Sir, I will be a man but to live only
20 years is very little,
give me the 30 years that the donkey refused,
the 15 years that the dog did not want and
the 10 years the monkey refused.
" God granted man's wish
...........................................................................................

And since then, man lives
20 years as a man ,

marries and spends
30 years like a donkey,
working and carrying all the burdens on his back.

Then when his children are grown,
he lives 15 years like a dog taking care of the house
and eating whatever is given to him,

so that when he is old,
he can retire and live 10 years like a monkey,
going from house to house and from one son or
daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.

That's Life.

Is'nt it ??????????

Only if I had worked a little harder...

2007-06-28T04:41:00.000+05:30

If you survey 100 students just as they're coming out of the exam hall, 99 of them will say "I could have done better had I studied harder".

Ever wonder why?

I think it's human nature to procrastinate. It's quite natural for many of us to keep postponing the inevitable. If the deadline is not imminent, we slow down. As the deadline comes closer, we speed up.

Therefore, it's very important to have a deadline for every day. Then you might stop saying "Only if I had worked a little harder..."

Before you speak

2007-06-27T03:41:00.001+05:30

A friend said something disturbing to you yesternight. Today evening she came to me and apologized. She says "Can we just start being like what we were before yesterday?".

The question is very innocent. And I don't want to answer it in words. Because a "No" sounds awful.

So I give her a cup of water to drink. She drinks from it, finishes it. Now I ask her "Give me the water back". She is stunned - she got her answer.

Just like a bullet can't re-enter the gun after firing, in the same way you can't take back your words.

So think not twice but thrice before you speak.

What is the meaning of life?

2007-06-26T13:03:00.000+05:30

At 29, I'm too young to ponder over this question. "What is the meaning of life?". If I do, I'm either a budding philosopher, or dead already. Nevertheless, I feel each one of us has a different meaning of life.

For a scholar, the meaning of life is knowledge.
For a soldier, the meaning of life is winning the battle.
For a politician, the meaning of life is to achieve power.
For a peace activist, the meaning of life is to stop war.
For an ordinary man, the meaning of life is to live and let live.
For a sparrow, the meaning of life is just to spend life.
For a mountain, the meaning of life is just to be there.

What is your meaning of life?

Dreams

2007-06-25T12:44:00.000+05:30

We all dream, literally, when we are asleep.Some of us remember them , some dont . Some are in eastman colour , some in black and white. Some are lucid, and some are not. But everyone dreams! There are a few dreams that come to us very often , the same message , but a little different in approach. personally for me , dreams are a very intergal part of my life. It gives me something to ponder upon the whole day. Sometimes i just wait to sleep , because i get such beautiful dreams and sometimes im scared to even close my eyes.
The most frequent dreams i get are about the UFO's, Space ships, Rockets and Jet planes. And the others are about the hide tides and water.And some are about flying constantly over the building (like spiderman or superman).
still havent been able to decode them.
if anyone has a clue to it, please write back. Also the dreams that you get would be interseting to read.
