My Old Diary
- Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because you are different that each of us is special.
- Do not set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
- Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
- Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.
- Do not be afraid to encounter risks. it is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
- Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love, the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.
- Do not dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.
- Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.
- Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
- It's nice to be important; but it is more important to be nice.
- Great minds discuss ideas, Average minds discuss events, Small minds discuss people.
- To handle yourself, use your mind. To handle others, use your heart.
- Remember to Remember me. Forget to forget me. Even if you try to remember to forget me, I will never forget to remember to remind you to remember me.
They are not any different but it was nice to go thru it once again.
uff... Memories.... Memories... Memories...
100 memories, 200 jokes, 300 great times, 400 secrets, 1 reason.... BESTFRIENDS

What Do Women Really Want . . .
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody: the princess, the prostitutes, the priests, the wise men, the court jester. In all, he spoke with everyone but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. What most people did tell him was to consult the old witch, as only she would know the answer. The price would be high, since the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no alternative but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer his question, but he'd have to accept her price first: The old witch wanted to marry Gawain, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified: she was hunchbacked and awfully hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage water, often made obscene noises... He had never run across such a repugnant creature. He refused to force his friend to marry her and have to endure such a burden.
Gawain, upon learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He told him that nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table. Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch answered Arthur's question:What a woman really wants is to be able to be in charge of her own life. Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it went. The neighboring monarch spared Arthur's life and granted him total freedom. What a wedding Gawain and the witch had! Arthur was torn between relief and anguish. Gawain was proper as always, gentle and courteous. The old witch put her worst manners on display. She ate with her hands, belched and farted, and made everyone uncomfortable.The wedding night approached: Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific night, entered the bedroom. What a sight awaited! The most beautiful woman he'd ever seen lay before him! Gawain was astounded and asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her (when she'd been a witch), half the time she would be her horrible, deformed self, and the other half, she would be her beautiful maiden self. Which would he want her to be during the day and which during the night? What a cruel question? Gawain began to think of his predicament: During the day a beautiful woman to show off to his friend, but at night, in the privacy of his home, an old spooky witch? Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman to enjoy many intimate moments? What would you do?What Gawain chose follows below, but don't read until you've made your own choice.
Noble Gawain replied that he would let her choose for herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time, because he had respected her and had let her be in charge of her own life . . .

Break on through
But most days don’t.
Some times you know it right from the start.
But most times you don’t.
* * *
Today, right now, a new day begins. And I wonder how this day is going to turn out. I wonder what is in store for me and how it is going to go. There is no ‘rightfromthestart’ feeling right now. It is another ‘letstakeitasitcomes’ day for me.
I miss the days when you know what is going to happen right from the start. In the sense that, it may not be completely planned, but you know it right up front that this is the way the day is going to go. And that is a good feeling. And of course there are those days when you plan everything, and even then you get the feeling that this day may still not go the way you want it to. And it usually does not.
As this new day takes shape, it offers many wondrous things to do. Which of course will probably be completely passed on for the ordinary. And it is in this ordinary that birth is given to the amazing. The breaking through of the ordinary is what brings about the amazing. The ordinary is needed. So, we go about creating and dwelling in the ordinary in the hope that someday, we will break on through to the other side. And that side will bring us to the place where we want to be. To give us the days that we want. The days when things go the way they are supposed to and you take life the way you always wanted to.
The potential exists in every day. We just need to make it happen.

Words
Words - a Powerful Weapon provided to mankind.
It's up to the individual how best to exploit life with it.
Words influence people....
It can change lives - The effect depends on how words play with you. An encouraging word to someone who is down can encourage them to achieve their goal. A destructive word to the same can have negative effects.
Words are the most powerful drug used by mankind.
Use soft word sand hard arguments.
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their "echoes" are truly endless!
Words:
The snow may look smooth and soft,
but the rocks underneath are sharp!

When beginnings are not beginnings
The start of something new does not have to mean change. It can be something that has been waiting to happen. And when it happens, it is expected. And because it is expected, it all falls into place. Coming together the way it is supposed to.
Of course, in reality, everything does not happen the way it is supposed to. It starts off the way you want it to, but then life takes over. When life takes over, other things happen. Other things that were waiting in the wings. Little unexpected surprises. Welcome surprises. What you have been waiting for comes together, in the most unexpected of ways.
Something Happened
Something, that sparks off another thing. And in that little spark lies a big storm. And when you look back at it, you would have never thought at the moment that that little something happened, it was going to spark off a big storm. But if you had known then, you might have done something different, and that spark might not have been created.
And that brings about all the ‘what ifs’.
But these are not ‘what ifs’ in the way you normally look at ‘what ifs’. Usually in regret. The way you look at it here is in awe and wonder as to how things happened. And you are grateful for the chain of events. The chain of events, that brought about the spark that stirred up the storm. For if that storm had not happened, you would not be here. Now.
The Poetess & Her Story
Began
The story was over
It died
A premature death
In the hands
Of the poetess
Whose craft was faulty
The story she told
Was not the story
She felt
And the story she felt
Was not the story
She wanted to tell
In her paradox
She muffled her emotions
And the end began
Before it was supposed to
And because that happened
Her characters
Came to life
And lived in the world
They were not supposed to
And the end was over
Before they
Could return
To the craft
Of the poetess
And the poetess
Gave them emotions
That they weren’t supposed
To feel
And things happened
That weren’t supposed
To happen
And in the end
That followed consequently
The poetess
Had to taste
A bitter blood
Mingled with
Her poisonous sweat
And as her imagination died
Her inspiration
Deserted her
Leaving her alone
And lonely
As she was before poetry

Everything Happens For A Reason . . .
And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul.
Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet affect your life.
The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

Feelings
I shed what's call feelings,
Long time ago,
But I could not kill it
When I saw the pitiful eyes of it,
It was shivering, Begging me
Not to leave it alone,
Told me that
It will never let anybody hurt me,
Anybody at all
Told me that I will be strong, But so soft though
Dint want to beleive,
How could I?
I wasn't even sure about myself,
I started walking alone.
But everyday when I turn back,
I see my feelings crawling behind me.
I will tell you the truth,
I turn back and see
Just to make sure -
Its coming behind me.....

Mozhi
A movie in Tamil; meaning Language. I have not watched the movie but got to see few scenes from the movie. But I am very eager to watch the movie. I will definitely give it a shot once it is released in
From the trailer got to know that the story goes something like this:
There is this gal who is deprived of the power of hearing and speech. And this guy working in the music field falls in love with this gal. He falls in love with this gal even though he knows that she is deprived of the power of hearing and speech. He learns the sign language with which he can communicate better with her and also understand her better. He proposes to her and I am not sure how the story ends.
He: When I see the moon I get reminded of a story which my mother had told me when I was small.
She: My mother has never told me a story.
He: If you miss someone a lot and look at the moon you can see them in the moon. I used to miss my grandma a lot! So when I was small I used to look at the moon and the grandma in the moon will resemble my grandma. Have you ever missed someone?
He: Haven’t you missed anyone in this world at all?
She: No….
I was taken aback. Could there be someone who have all their dear family friends and loved ones close to them that they will not miss them at all? If yes then he/she is very lucky.
When I watched this I got reminded of my college days. In the night when I used to turn towards the sea it’s just me, the vast sea, the cool breeze and the beautiful moon. The feeling is too good.

Don't Make Anyone Feel Small . . .
No one likes to be criticized. Look for good qualities in others and appreciate them. When you appreciate others, you draw out the best that is in them. Appreciate your friends, your loved ones, your parents, children. Never scold children. When you scold them, you stifle the life-force that is within them.
Mr.X asked a little boy:- "My child, what is your name?"
He answered:- "At school, they call me Ramesh. At home, I am called Ramesh-don't."
Mr.X could not understand. And he explained:- "At school they call me Ramesh. But whenever I am at home, they always tell me, Ramesh don't behave like this, Ramesh don't speak like this, Ramesh don't sit like this, Ramesh don't talk like this!"
Appreciate children. Appreciate your loved ones. Women have complained:- "There was a time when our husbands gave us many pledges, but all that has become part of history. Today, they pay no attention to us. They take us for granted."
Tonight, as you return to your homes, go and tell your loved one:- "Honey, where would I have been without you?" Those few, simple words can enact a miracle.

Confused
I reject for no reason at all. All that I asked for is present but no nothing seems to have that spark. How do I know?
I am not in a position to give a proper reason to reject. Obviously they get wild and I need to pay for the damage.
I never knew it was this complicated. What do I tell them? How can I explain? Sometimes I think I should be here and other times probably there. I can give good reasoning to why I should stay here and why I should stay there also. But where is it finally going to be?
People get pissed off coz they don’t understand why I keep changing my decision. Yes I know you guys get tired but common it’s my life.In the fight for survival, a tie or split decision simply will not do.
And finally, try to find your deepest issue in every confusion, and abide by that.

A chance to start anew
How often we wish for another chance
To make a fresh beginning
A chance to blot out our mistakes
And change failure into winning.
To make a brand-new start,
It only takes the deep desire
To try with all our heart.
To live a little better
To always be forgiving.
To add a little sunshine
In a world for which we’re living.
Never give up in despair
Nor think you are through,
For there’s always a tomorrow,
A chance to start anew.

Wordsworth
A very apt name to the famous English Poet.
This weekend was clearing up stuff at home when I came across the slam book which was signed by my friends from college. Remembered each and every one of them as I was reading the book. But failed to remember some. There was one which caught my interest. He was a good old senior of mine. Ganesh... Some call him Gunzz... and some Gunny... These were some thing which he had to tell me:
U r the best judge of urself. No one can come close to it. - Good line
He also quoted Wordsworth:
"The woods are Lovely, dark & deep,
But you have Promises to Keep,
And Miles to go before you Sleep,
And Miles to go before you Sleep."
Something very apt to be written in the Slam Book.
What happened in the past makes people what they are now. Some people are trapped in the past and some are unstable because they lost their past. Look at the past, face it and come to grips with it... that's true internal strength.

Valentine's Special
Once, there was this guy, who was in love with a gal. She wasn't the most beautiful and
gorgeous but for him, she was everything.
He used to dream about her, about spending the rest of life with her. His friends told him,
"Why do you dream so much about her, when you don't even know if she loves you or not?
First tell her your feelings, and get to know if she likes you or not".
He felt that was the right way. The girl knew from the beginning, that this guy loves her.
One day when he proposed, she rejected him.
His friends thought he would take to alcohol; drugs etc. and ruin his life.
To their surprise, he was not depressed.
When they asked him how was it that he is not sad, he replied,
"'Why should I feel bad? I lost one who never loved me & she lost the one
who really loved and cared for her."
Never Cry for One Who Makes You Cry!

He - She
She kept thinking about it over and over again.
She had never expected him to ...
But yes it was he who ...
But then why did he ...
She said that only out of jealousy...
But then she never got a chance to explain what happened.
Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.
He was angry and decided the plan.
It was planned too well for her not to believe it. Even after she was told that it was all mere acting she still dint believe it.
He was a genius. But she dint know that he would act this good.
She was shattered.
It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame.
But then now she is happy for all that - Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.
Later she analyzed the situation...
What would she have done if she was in the same situation as him??
Perfectly right - The same way he did it.
But would not have acted like how he did... She would have ignored him totally.
That would be best way she could have punished him...
But not as severe as how he had done.
If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. -- He and She.

My Blog
Some don't say anything... - Silent Readers
Some had their own doubts.. (which were later clarified)...
But yeah a good friend of mine was perplexed... - What do I say scared is that the right word that I should use?
He said I look like a very cheerful person but...
He said he dint expect this from me..
But yeah I write this too my friend.
He said that I needed a BREAK ASAP.
Do you think this is the solution??
His reaction actually shocked me
I write what ever I feel like..
Traffic
Passing by
The sound lingers
Until replaced with another
Like memories that fade out
And then wait to be replaced
Sometimes the cycle breaks making memories eternal
...Thanks dear friend!
