Your happiness is intertwined with your outlook on life. Above line was my Orkut fortune the other day. I kept thinking on that line, rather on two words, Happiness and Outlook... Happy... The easiest word to say. Everybody says "Be happy, don't worry". But the question goes in mind "Why can't I be happy?". It is true for all. Fundamentally, we have problem in searching for the happiness. We rely on "if only's" - that if only we had a good job, a big house, a nice car, and lots of love, then (and maybe only then) we would be happy. We learn to compare ourselves to our friends, neighbours, even relative strangers, all of those people who seem to have "more" and therefore are better and "happier" than we are. So we think, people who achieve their goals and who have nice cars, big houses and good loving relationshis are happy. We relate directly our happiness to outside events, achievements, possessions, and other external f

I remember my dad teaching me the power of language at a very young age. Not only did my dad understand that specific words affect our mental pictures, but he understood words are a powerful programming factor in lifelong success. One particularly interesting event occurred when I was eight. As a kid, I was always climbing trees, poles, and literally hanging around upside down from the rafters of our lake house. So, it came to no surprise for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree swinging back and forth. My little eight-year-old brain didn't realize the tree could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was fun to be up so high. My older cousin, Tammy, was also in the same tree. She was hanging on the first big limb, about ten feet below me. Tammy's mother also noticed us at the exact time my dad did. About that time a huge gust of wind came over the tree. I could hear the leaves start to rattle and the tree begin to sway. I remember my dad's voice over th

People come into your life for a reason , a season or a lifetime . When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON , it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason, you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON , because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring yo

You will remember (me) when... You would want to share your past and you expect him to listen whole-heartedly and smile at your silly points when you say “I know both the sides of the coin” You want somebody with whom you can sing any duet/song that you think is one of your favourite songs You think of somebody with whom you feel homely and confident in friendship You need a book to read and you know he would be there to understand your need You need somebody to feel the feeling that you have You need help in making your CV/resume look good and you know he would help you out You need help in rephrasing your achievements in a year and you know he would help you out You think of somebody who reads your mind and asks many times “Are you OK?”, “Is everything all-right?”,etc You wear a good dress and think of somebody who would never say “Your dress is good” before you, but never forget to ping you to say so You think of one who would ask you about your lunch and dinner when you feel like

Dear Love, The day when I first met you, when our eyes met, I had given you place in my heart. Really, like the real world, if dream world had some reality, then my rest of life would have been real. I would have spent all my nights in dreams… We can only see the distant moon, but can’t touch. You are also like that distant moon. How can I tell you my inner stories? You have gone, but your memories have become part of my life with which I am surviving. Without you, there is no memory, and there is no life… The day when I had seen you, I had made you my dream girl; not only in my dreams, but in my body, mind and soul too… I had dreamt of giving all worldly happiness to you… But what happened! The strings of guitar broke, all songs became lifeless, all the drawings that I had drawn using canvas got changed, and the petals of rose fell down…  I still remember those memories… I wanted to speak my heart, but could not… I still remember you, but how can I explain that to you? Wit

Let’s have a small retrospective session. Ok I won’t stress your memory. Let’s talk about just a day back in time. So what did you really do on India’s 63rd Independence Day? Sat at home all day enjoying your holiday? Ok… made it for the function for the flag hoisting? Is it enough? Neways, even if you did that, I am glad. But I can bet most of you just, looked up to the flag in great pride may be for a few moments and then you were back onto your couch watching some latest pirated cd/dvd movie and enjoying the holiday. Your feelings need to extend from those few moments you looked up to the flag to your entire day, from this one day in the year to the entire year, and yes certainly for your lifetime. And remember you are not the first one to do this… Martyrs have lived, died and relived in our hearts being as true Indians. Just an Indian citizenship doesn’t really make you an Indian dear! The very fact that you are reading these lines now, is that I have got you interest
