Something to ponder

Something to ponder, in fact something that I found weird.

I realize that to whom we are attached the most, to them we share most of our feelings, emotions. To them we open up everything, becoming vulnerable. Then we realize, they are the one who does everything that hurts us. Shattering our heart, chopping them to chunks, slitting them to pieces. We can't blame them. It was our mistake for trusting, believing that they are capable of making us feel happy.

Why is that the one that we love are the ones that hurts us too much?
To them we tell everything, they know us very well, more deep than others. Yet, how come they could do something that will break our heart?

'Being in others shoes'
I strictly believe this quote can save many friendships and relationships if one really understand it. They expect this and that from you. You do for them. And of course you expect something from them, too. They fail to meet your demand. This frustrates you.
Stop blaming my expectations that lead to frustration. It was your character that frustrated me. If you do not expect anything, be it friendship or relationship, then there is something wrong. Either you are tired of them or you dislike them.

Just a simple example: If you want to give respect you, I demand the same from you. If you would like me to wear high collared blouse, I expect you to give extra attention to me.

They demanded, and you do for them. You demanded, they show their 'don't care' attitude. When someone else asks for a favour, they can help, but when you ask, either they take time to respond to you, or they pretend as though they are busy.

What is this? Come on! Girls seriously hate this!

And men claim they can't read womens' thought. So, we sometimes become brave enough to actually spill our emotions. Yet, our feelings are not respected/ important. They just continue doing what they like. Not even a little of toleration. Women have to tolerate, all the time.
This where we take decision NOT to tell men anything.

I know there are gentlemen who does some unexpected things that admirably could sweep off a girls' feet, but wouldn't it make them a lot happier if you do something that they asked, too? Forget the ego, duh~ don't make me start about it.

(Finally, I do not know how to end this, its 1.30am. Thanks to the neverending rain that motivated me to scribble my thoughts, or should I say, 'Generally, All women's thought'.



Good night!

Happy Birthday, Renuka :)

September has left, welcoming October with monsoon rain. How I wish I could just stay cuddled up all day, with a cup of hot cocoa.

The month that I adore, the month that I'm always hyper-active, the month that gives a smile  on each new day, the month of festivals and colors, the month of my BIRTHDAY!!!

Here I am, blowing my 25 candles on Oct 12th.
On this special day, I seek the lotus foot of God for my betterment.
The years past did taught me many things. And I thought that's life.


I was wrong. My life started at 23. Yes, I learned what life is; economically. I haven't talk about relationships and family. Not yet. Life pushed so hard, deteriorating my health and education. To an extent, I swear I thought I can never cope with these. All I do is just pray. Pray. And here I am, truly thankful to Him, instilling faith in me.

The end of comfort zone showed me the other me, who strongly passed the hurdles.

The only thing that I missed so much during that moments was a friend. A friend to talk to. Sometimes, we can't face so much burden alone. We just need a listener. Being introvert, I had hundreds of friends to socialise but not a single to share my situation.

And, now, my true best friend is none other than Narayan Himself.

Learning from my past, may this birthday brings me loads of happiness and inner peace. May I grow old in age but grow younger at heart. May I grow in compassion, less in temper. A wiser and confident person.

~The best writing comes out when you find yourself broken. It's like your heart gets ripped open and all the feelings spill out into a beautiful mess on paper~

Food for thought-the mid 20s crisis


Reaching mid 20s, anyone who do not go through this phase, there's something wrong with you :)

Mid 20s is the most critical phase of life. Finishing degree, believing that a scroll capable of securing a job for you.And then realising that there more thousands more with you on the run hunting for the exact job you wanted. You'll lose stamina and motivation. Just believe this :


And, you landed on a job. Money comes in, and happiness don't stay long. Money goes out to pay edu loan, car loan, house loan, bills, etc.

And you get tired with your job. The same work, the demanding boss, the competitive colleagues. Not to mention discrimination. You're no more productive. Your works stay behind.


And you get this 'disease' :


You just settled and feeling fine with life (excluding the job), marriage talk slowly arises. All memories comes back alive.



You haven't move on from your past, and you can't forget. Neither can you accept a new one in life. You fight with parents, finally choosing to stay single.



And, you have this weird feelings that leaves you feeling empty. 



This is the 20s crisis, from what I've seen happening among the 20s'. Well, I'm still configuring what I'm doing, and what I'll be doing. And, of course, there must be something served on my plate, just not now.

 In the meantime, enjoy life. Have fun. You will not get this in 30s.



I always think of being kids again. Now, I've drop this out of my consideration. I can never be one. But, hey, I can hangout with one or two of them. Instead of being stress free kid, I can LEARN how to feel free of stress, despite of the stress I'm having.



 Don't get drowned in dilemma. Just surf! You will made it through! Sayonara!

October Baby

I watched 'October Baby' yesterday, to fill my boredom. What can I say, I felt very sleepy, yet I forced myself to finish watching it, despite knowing it will be aired again in two days time.

October Baby- I assumed somehow this might be about a teenage girl born in month of Oct, possessing Libran's personality (lame!). But, I was right at one part, she was born in month of Oct.

This is a very different story. I can relate this movie to movies like 'Taare Zameen Par, Fashion, etc' where the world is given a chance to see the real image of an individual life, which you would've never imagined. But, this is entirely different.

You may heard about abortion, but a failed abortion?
No. Well, I didn't.

The story starts with a young girl, Hanna having asthma, depression suddenly collapsing on the stage. Being examined by the doctor, she was told that she was adopted, and that was from a failed abortion. Angry that her adopted parents have never told her, and her biological mother never wanted her, she set to Alabama with her friends to find for an answer from her mother.

Things get harder when the clinic she was born closed and caught by police for breaking into the clinic. Then, when Hanna and Jason (Hanna's childhood friend, cared a lot for Hanna, later becoming her sweetheart) with the help of the police found the nurse who was with Alyssa Porter during her abortion.

Hanna had a twin brother, Jonathon, who died hours after born. Not a doctor myself, just got to know, 'they' are called cells, not babies. Jonathon was born without hands, as the 'cells'  accidentally were ripped off, while being removed. Hanna was the survivor. The nurse hand down the wrist tag, bearing Hanna's mother's name, born 7th Oct 1991. She had her name changed, for she wanted to go to school, have a career. By this time, I was completely (mentally and emotionally) engrossed in the movie.

Meeting her mother with a new family, just to realise she didn't care about her, Hanna went back with her adopted father. When she knew all the truths which was hard to fathom, she went to a nearby church, were her mother always spend her time.

She learnt anger is not a solution, that by forgiving everyone, you attain your freedom and happiness.
Ending of the movie, Hanna going her brother's tomb, and leaving a small note to her biological mother, saying 'I forgave you', Hanna goes to college with Jason.


The adopted father, loved Hanna so much, that he couldn't bear losing her. To me, I feel everything was son fine about the movie. The only thing that was quite weird was Hanna's friend, Jason. Jason is a cool and handsome guy, being the popular guy in college. So many girls after him, and he cares a lot for Hanna, even leaving his girlfriend to help Hanna in search of her mother. As all movies have shown us that popular guys normally not kind-hearted, this was totally different. Maybe I'll take some time to accept Jason's character.

If you pay enough attention, you would actually feel being in Hannah's shoe, and that you too, almost cry knowing your past. The most unforgettable, was when Hanna questioned on why her mother not wanting her, what mistake she did. The perspective of abortion from the child's view was shown under the microscope.

This is a very good movie, as it has made me googled to learn more about abortion, shocking me that abortions had been done since 1868! Wonderful actors, lots of food for thought, and you will never think of under-age pregnant and abortion.

This movie is highly recommended, and there is no obscene as well :)

“ஆயிரம் பொய் சொல்லி திருமணம் செய்

“ஆயிரம் பொய் சொல்லி திருமணம் செய்” என்பதன் அர்த்தம் என்ன..?

நம் முன்னோர்கள் கூறிய பழமொழிகளில் சில காலப்போக்கில் மாற்றப்பட்டுள்ளதற்கு இதுவும் நல்ல உதாரணம். ஏனென்றால், “ஆயிரம் முறை போய் சொல்லி திருமணம் செய்” என்பதே உண்மையான பழமொழியாகும். காலப்போக்கில் “போய் சொல்லி” என்ற வார்த்தை “பொய் சொல்லி” என மாற்றப்பட்டு விட்டது.

பழங்காலத்தில், சுற்றத்தினர் பற்றி அவ்வளவாக அறியப்படாத காரணத்தால் பெண் கொடுக்கும் முன் அந்தக் குடும்பத்தினர் பலமுறை யோசனை செய்வர். அதனால் மாப்பிள்ளை வீட்டிற்கு நெருக்கமானவர்கள், பெண் வீட்டாரிடம் பலமுறை சென்று, “நல்ல வரன்தான், நீங்கள் தாராளமாக பெண் கொடுக்கலாம்” என வலியுறுத்துவர். இதைத்தான் “ஆயிரம் முறை போய் சொல்லி திருமணம் செய்” என்று குறிப்பிட்டனர்.

ஆனால் தற்போது இந்தப் பழமொழி மருவி, “ஆயிரம் பொய் சொல்லி திருமணம் செய்” எனக் கூறப்படுவதால், பலர் மாப்பிள்ளை, பெண் வீட்டாரிடம் சில உண்மைகளை மறைத்து திருமணம் செய்து வைத்து விடுகின்றனர். இதனால் தம்பதிகளின் வாழ்க்கைதான் பாதிப்புக்கு உள்ளாகிறது என்பதை சம்பந்தப்பட்டவர்கள் கருத்தில் கொண்டால் நல்லது...!

My list of scenes, for now.

While watching a movie, an idea came to my mind. You might laugh at my lameness, but the idea is today's subject matter of my post :) I'm not a movie-maniac, trust me. I enjoy watching at home, months later, aired on television (as I've said before, I'm not a movie maniac). I have plenty scenic moments that movies have swept off my feet but these are the ones that came to my mind at the time of blogging :)

 Enggeyum eppothum
Both couples were good, but I prefer this two. Their love was one of a kind, where you spent just few hours, yet your heart tells you he's the one, and it takes you to do anything just to be with him. In a city so huge, she went to search for him, not knowing anything about him. And he is heartbreakingly handsome in this movie!


The scene touches my heart each time I watch this movie. Well, I can rate 5 stars for all the songs in this movie but this particular song is my favourite. It could be yours, too.



Alaipayuthey
Seriously, girls can never hate Madhavan and I better not start about the charm he possess :P
I can brag about each and every scene in this movie, such beautiful the storyline is.. You do not fell bored watching this movie, at all.


 At first, I do not understand what she's saying. She speak too fast, as though all the words have been glued to each other, there's no gap. later on, I seemed to love that.


 No marriage is perfect. 

 Nadodigal 
 Shocked when I knew she's mute. Love the father-son pair. Rarely we see such combo. 


Siva Manasula Sakthi
A very Hilarious movie..  Egoism between them, figthing all the time, yet can't live with each other. nerutthu di...enna radio'le pesura nenappa..summa laba laba laba laba laba'ne pesikithe iruke... pudikile'na munji mele solledi, munji mele. LOL
And, this is a beautiful song! 


 Paruthi Veeran
So, this is how love is between two typical village teens, I believe. It's cute, with his signals, and the way he say everything straight-forward. Funny.

Hepburn and I have slightly different character



Is it true? Catherine Hepburn did not follow the rules, and she had all the fun.

I obeyed the teachers
extra attention, extra love and extra care I get
My life was fun!

I obeyed my parents
they trust me
I was not questioned on my decisions

I obeyed the general rule
not to befriend males in teen age
I had all the fun in the world
No heart ache, no sorrow, no depression
All I remember was
break time, athletic club, friends jokes, pimples, messy hair

I obey the rule to respect elders
I was fondly remembered as the obedient girl
They treat me like important person
It was fun!

I obey the traffic rules
zero summons, free-accidents
I"m alive and happy
It is more than fun!!

So, tell me, did I miss out any fun???

Maybe Hepburn trying to say about disobey some particular rules (which I couldn't figure out, the scope is  humongous), but I believe I had all the fun, and I'm still having fun!!

"Karma reverberates"

Karma, Karma, Karma....
I'm inviting more problems by having this topic to ramble.

Having to surf the net everyday, I come across this quote almost daily. One invent this quote, the other came up with a pictured words, and voila, friends start sharing. (I'm not fulminating anyone; just a general opinion).

When one shares this (below pic), it is palpably clear that they are trying to be mean and hinting on others.
 People share it, oblivious of the real meaning of Karma. Your friend did something to you, you hate your friend, there you go, share this. Being sarcastic by sharing this, well, you just got a point for bad Karma.

The meaning is correct, but it is biased; and obnoxious.


First thing everyone should know.There is bad Karma and Good Karma. This, I say because Karma is law of moral causation.Karma is the result of our own past actions and our own present doings. We are responsible for our own happiness and misery. Do good, you create your own Heaven, do bad, you know where you'll end up. 
I can bravely claim that we are the architects of our own fate.


 One should know the realm of love, to let go ego, and learn forgiveness. None of us are perfect. Karma ONLY hits you if you do bad.


This is one of the meanest sentence. It's not a quote, please. And, why do people always have to show anger by slapping? You reap what you sow. people share this funny word. I was wondering. Actually, the person who share this must be the one slapped by Karma. It must hit them hard. They never realise their Karma just 'devoured' them and start hoping for others to get hit as well.

As far as I know, and I've felt, Karma is just angelic. I had my bad moments, too. I have endured many pain and hurting situations in life. Don't blame anyone, not even Karma. How I handle it? (I'm not good at it). I take it as a situation created by God, because in hard situations, we tend to think of Him more. I become too busy and too indulged in work and materialistic life that I spent less time for God. And, this situation is just a temporary one, on and off comes to remind me of His presence. I shall seek for His lotus feet  :D

And, I agree. I face problems when my spirituality is low.


Not again.

And, don't forget about animals. Be kind to animals, even if you don't like furry animals. Animals listen when you talk, you know. An interesting fact. 
Just say 'Hi', they may not understand, but hey, who knows, you might have made them happy?
Animals have heart with feelings, just like humans. They can show pure love. Hatred has never existed in their dictionary. God is truly great for such a creation.
Dogs bark at you not because of hatred, but to protect his owner and himself. Don't get the idea wrong.
So stop throwing sticks and rocks at them. Don't scare them by throwing firecrackers on them.
I really hope Karma for ill-treating animals should be 10 points more.  


Back to humans. The preaching by Buddha. 

A short story. 
Once a  young man approached Buddha and asked regarding this intricate problem of inequality:

"What is the cause, what is the reason, that we find amongst mankind the short-lived and long-lived, the healthy and the diseased, the ugly and beautiful, those lacking influence and the powerful, the poor and the rich, the low-born and the high-born, and the ignorant and the wise?"

The Buddha’s reply was:

"All living beings have actions (Karma) as their own, their inheritance, their congenital cause, their kinsman, their refuge. It is Karma that differentiates beings into low and high states."



This picture gives meaning to' what goes around comes around',  not Karma. It depicts Karma in a bad way.


And with this precious, valuable quote; I'm signing off.



I now gained good Karma by discussing this topic. Please don't curse me and hold grudge. You gonna gain one point for bad karma :)
Have a blessed day ahead!

A victim




Cigarette smokes

replacing the fluids in my lung

Shots of Tequila swirls ‘round inside my head

Beetles blaring 

inside my ears

words become slurry

Lost in world of ecstasy.

They bought me

couple of drinks

none bothered 

my sorrow

They whisper something.

something my mind

hesitates to interpret.

My mind full of him

the pill is duff.

He still exist.

like the smell of wine, wafting in the air, getting into my breath

like a drug, injected into my arm, getting into my blood

filling my head and thoughts.

He is everywhere.

My screams can’t be heard.

My sorrow can’t be felt.

My scars can’t be seen.

I am, but,

A victim of you.


I spent more time blogging after deactivating my Facebook account. kudos to Renuka

What Love is?






Love.
You must be completely au fait with this verb.


One who is in the first stage would describe it in the most flowery words they could find; one with broken heart would say it’s one of a hell; one who married in the base of love calls it inexistence. I don’t blame them or their situations. You love them, then you hate them for a while, love them back, even more this time. Love them. Hate them. Love them. Hate them. 


Why do people say love just happens. ‘I mean it just happens, I saw him on the monorail, and it struck me he is the one’. How is this possible? What if he is a married man, with three kids? or a drug dealer? Of course, I’ve heard people who are married with their love at first sight, but I say that is very rare situation to take place; by God’s grace.

Love happens for a reason. There must be a reason for everything. The person must have the criterias that pulls you like magnet. That what they possess impress you. You love them for a reason; reason for who they are, or what they’ve promised to you.

A contagious smile, sparks/ twinkle in the eye, butterflies in stomach, sheer kindness, pure thoughts…everything looks beautiful. Euphoria. First sign of love. Love takes time to grow. Till one starts finding faults, despise each other, realizing having a different thinking, and so, and so. Having qualm it was Mr/ Ms. Wrong.


What love is? Love also brings heart ache.
After some time you feel heartbroken, this may be they broke the promise, or no longer who they are. No more those sweet moments. Euphoria fades after maximum one year. You might feel like getting out of the relationship, choosing not to endure more pain. Why this happens? How can one who was so madly in love start fighting like cats and dogs? They blow a gasket for small issues. Your loved was not meeting your expectations. They were no longer what they used to be. This is where everything starts.

How you show your love?
You tolerate each other. Love is not just about kissing, caressing, hugging, clutching hands all the time.You start liking whatever your loved one likes. You start to love whatever they love to do. You do something which will bring happiness to him. You avoid doing something because he doesn't like it. You feel happy when the person you love is all smiley and grateful for what you do for him. In return, you expect them to be so, do so. It’s not wrong to expect things; you expect it because it tells you; by him doing so, he also showing his love to you. This is not sacrifice, you do it voluntarily; just for love. What mattered to you most was happiness of your partner more than your own. Once again, love and care.

You get attracted to countless but to one you fall in love. Why was the one? Because that is the one who did meet your expectation: what type of person you love, be it physically, mentally or emotionally. The reason why you fell for him.  Well, physical attracts first, but within minutes, the heart will decide based on behavior and character. You can like many people, many, without reasons, but you cannot love someone without a reason.  

Why this person and not the other one? Find the reason, there should be one. It may be the care that feel, or treat you importantly, making you feel needed. It maybe the comfort and sense of belonging you feel with them. It makes you feel like a shield of protection layer, always ready to guard you. It may be of the heart with sheer kindness that you love. The smell, the touch, the spark, the kiss…whatever you feel, that you never want to fell with anyone else. You can’t imagine someone else replace his place. In a nutshell, it lit up your world.

The lab accident!



I have this very very bad attitude. I always take things simple.
When people say it's dangerous, I always have the thought that it will not happen to me or God will not let it happen to me.
This one incident had taught me a very unforgettable lesson.

Everyone wears lab coat in laboratory. I hate wearing it as it is very hot, plus the lab assistant will not be around most of the time. Thinking it's very okay to not to wear coat as the lab is just a biotech lab. A friend of mine used COD heater. She had ammonia in the vial with COD reagent. The COD machine was an old one and I've never seen anyone using it before. She switched on and went away. I was sitting opposite bench of the machine.

Bang.

The COD explode and black smoke was released and get directly into my eyes and mouth. It was so quick, one tenth of a second, I would say. Everything was so fast, I couldn't avoid it. With one eye still can see, I run to nearest tap and start washing my eyes and mouth. My friends were terrified. I really really prayed it was not ammonia at that moment.

And I realised my vision was grey. Slightly blur. The thought of my dog came into my mind. Ammu lost both her vision. I felt how it would have felt. It can't express the feeling. I almost cried.
Again, after washing and washing, it was better.
Rushing to clinic with my friend, all the doctor could do was eye irrigation with saline water. She was a new doctor, I can see from the way she attended me. It was much much much better. My vision was normal.

The doctor checked again and said there is a small dot on my pupil and there may be small damages on my eye and I was referred to General Hospital. I started crying, thought it was a severe case.

I called my sister  and mother to fetch me to GH. No matter how many people comes with you, only a family member can make you feel better and more secure. And, of course it was more better when I saw Garuda Bhagavan on the way to the hospital. Can anything happen beyond His power?

In the emergency room, after some test, the doctor confirmed no scar on the pupil and I can go home,get some rest. My mother start advising on being more careful.

Till now, I feel it's like a dream, I couldn't believe it happened to me. But I learned the painful lesson. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime, anywhere. So, be cautious wherever you are. FOLLOW THE RULES! You don't wanna hurt your loved ones.

Have a blessed Tuesday!

I Promise



I cannot promise you that
I will not change
I cannot promise you that
I will not have many different moods
I cannot promise you that
I will not hurt your feelings sometimes
I cannot promise you that
I will not be erratic
I cannot promise you that
I will always be strong
I cannot promise you that
my faults will not show
But -
I do promise you that
I will always be supportive of you
I do promise you that
I will share all my thoughts
and feelings with you
I do promise you that
I will give you freedom to be yourself
I do promise you that
I will understand everything that you do
I do promise you that
I will be completely honest with you
I do promise you that
I will laugh and cry with you
I do promise you that
I will help you achieve all your goals
But -
most of all
I do promise you that
I will love you

      -Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

I first saw this poem on a mug, at a friends' house. And then, as usual, I 'googled' with some fragments of word that I remember.

Even if...



Even if the rainbow
Never visible to paint the sky
Even if the fireflies
Lost its luminous glow
Even if the stars
Stopped glimmering at night

It doesn't matter.

For I have looked into your eyes
And so, I have seen, all there is to see.

Even if the stream
Stopped bellowing along the way
Even if the crickets
Stopped chirping melodiously at night
Even if the gusty breeze
Stopped whistling inside my ears

It doesn't matter.

For I have heard your voice
And so, I have heard, all there is to hear.

Even if the rain
Stopped quenching my thirst
Even if the dry autumn leaves
Stopped caressing over me
Even if the sun beam
Stopped warming my skin

It doesn't matter.

For I have held you in my arms
And so, I have felt, all there is to feel.

Even if roses and jasmines
Lost its pleasuring fragrant
Even if my small world
Scattered into million pieces
Even if my heart
Stopped beating forever

It doesn't matter.

For I have loved you with all my heart
And so, I have accomplished, all that I ever wanted.

Hugs



Give me a giant hug,
That will last for aeons,
The hug
that will waft away
the wounds, the hurt,
the bitterness
the agonizing pain…
So that when I recall
in presence
of your real warm tight hug,
That only love is real.

The heart would like to spill some emotions






Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again.

Yes, I agree with above anonymous quote. You will agree with me when life throws you such a situation whereby you're stucked, gloomy with all feelings mixed up; anger, frust, depression. At this point, you can only cry and move on, let the situation alone. You will hurt, but you will eventually heal. Giving time some time, lying to one's self that you will be fine in His arm.

And it's horrifying to see that I actually let these situations mess up my entire life. 
Things do not mess up, it's people who does that. We gave them enough bullets, being subservient, giving too much space in our life. Our vulnerability were taken advantage; be it purposely or accidentally. 
You loose your character, the real you, obsequiously making them happy. Fear uproots, bridges burnt, leading us to build humongous wall, shielding our self from more pain. 

Most of the time, our close ones will pull the trigger purposely. They know you very well and how much it can hurt you, but they will do it; thinking 'alah, dis girl oni, she wil be okay wan'. And, you, on the other, can't take it, end up hating them and hurting yourself. It always happen.

If they treat you as important as how you treat them, chances are they will understand your pain. If not just forget it. Your plea fall on deaf ears.


We make mistakes. Its okay. Life need to be adventurous, not masterpiece.
Make mistakes, learn from it. Laugh at your mistakes. But repeating the same mistakes again and again, not something to be laughed. It's...maybe idiotic?

It's disheartening after so much of talking, discussing, whatever u name it, they still do that.
Yes, the right term is Selfish and Ignorance. Let them be. 

Sometimes, you really hope someone will banish you to a place where you are stranger. Complete stranger.

Let me explain my feelings: infuriated, hurt, teary, frustrated, betrayed, used, disparage (tempestuous, in general)


A feeling outpouring on a bad Friday.

Stolen from Marley

Don't get deceived with the title. I'm used to manipulating things. 
A lengthy invaluable quote by Bob Marley. A little alteration from me. Spend some time going through it. Each verse makes your jaw drop, as whatever you've felt and struggled for the exact words; well Bob Marley has done it beautifully.


Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. They cry with you because roses have thorns and they celebrate with you that thorns have roses. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. They love your beautiful heart and your appearance is not in the count. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk under the moon become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face, knowing someone has thought of you today. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Their presence means the world to you. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Your mind keeps chanting their name every second and once in a while, you say it aloud and find little joy in them. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Your build the strength by giving and receiving at all times. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!




••• Story time •••

A woman baked bread for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra bread on the window sill, for whosoever would take it away.

Every day, a hunchback came and took away the Bread.

Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way:
" The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

This went on, day after day. Every day, the hunchback came, picked up the bread and uttered the words:
"The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

The woman felt irritated. "Not a word of gratitude," she said to herself...
" Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?"

One day, exasperated, she decided to do away with him. "I shall get rid of this hunchback," she said. And what did she do? She added poison to the bread she prepared for him!

As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled.
"What is this I am doing?" she said.

Immediately, she threw the Bread into the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window sill.

As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the Bread and muttered the words:
" The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

The hunchback proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war raging in the mind of the woman.

Every day, as the woman placed the Bread on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune.For many months,she had no news of him.. She prayed for his safe return.

That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway.

He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn. He was hungry, starved and weak.

As he saw his mother, he said,"Mom, it's a miracle I'm here.

While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed.

I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by.I begged of him for a morsel of food, and he was kind enough to give me a whole Bread.

As he gave it to me, he said,"This is what I eat everyday: today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!"

As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale.
She leaned against the door for support. She remembered the poisoned bread that she had made that morning.

Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have lost his life! It was then that she realized the significance of the words:
"The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

Moral ♥ : Do good and Don't ever stop doing good, even if it is not appreciated at that time.

----> Read this short story awhile ago. It's not inspiring or touching, rather wisdom and truth. Live abide your faith. A sentence with with a very deep meaning.

words and expressions
So I never write about you

Socially social



Gone those days where you had little privacy not only in your room but in your life. The things that you feel you want to keep among your circle, your loved ones; or keep it close to your heart.
Yeah, secret but-not-so-secret.
Those time, people meet up to spend some quality time, and catch up with things, and going back home feeling 'ohmyfriend-I-miss-her, She-didn't-change-an-ounce'. You do think about the date again. And, the meet up remains only between you two or the group (we friends hang out in groups). Priceless moments!

Now it's a trend. People meet up for lunch, just around 15mins, have gibberish talking, snap loads of photos, upload instantly. And they have the same-lame-name,'outing with crazy friends, outing with bestie';and two third of the outings would be in malls with only their pictures eating, posing, the worst-toilet background. (I would have used 'restroom', that sounds too decent for this situation).

Those days, we meet friends with an agenda, as I've said earlier. Now, they meet up just to show the world how social their life is. Lunch with A, at 3star restaurant, Tea with B at J.Co, Dinner with C...... and it goes on. And I think it's getting expensive, too. They have to wear really beautiful outfit, studded ballet shoes, hair well trimmed, leather bags, meet up in well-known franchise( food ordered must be in the pic)-just to look stylish in the picture. I mean, What-The-Heck???? It really get to my nerves when I see such photos, and the lame caption.

I still feel special when I meet up my old friends, do something crazy, laugh till jaws ache, and thinking about the date after that. Letting it be private;unless its like a trip- it has more value gripped on it. We share only certain things with the world. A closed book has more value than an open book :) (chewah, berfalsafah)

Go for cause together, do some campfire with friends, bake cookies with friends- upload those things, I can see your friendship values! That's what fun all about.

There was a time I came across this, ' outing with crazy frenz'-24 pics, and I don't see anything but same few people in front of a temporary deco the mall set up for a festival. What do you think I can do? A big Sigh!

Maybe because I don't like such social meet-ups and again meet up in malls, oh god.

Your food is your doctor




                                 

Yes, the truth. Well explained.  So, now, we see the differences.




Yes, why should you?


For a healthy and fit body, follow a balanced diet.

The first two pictures says a thousand words.  Eventhough the burger is tasty, I would not want to give a try. 

At first, I wanted to write more, discussing on the picture. Then, I realised I don't have enough time. Maybe next time. But, definitely by seeing the pictures, you would have learned something.

Conversation on humanitarian



People who does charities will be bestowed by God.

This is what everyone believes,well what Hindus believes. I don't know the cogent reason, but I just know when I do it, instantly the whole day will be filled with weird feelings, mixed with happiness. Or, is that people call pure joy?

The Hindus love doing charity-thaanam, for the sake of getting something in return (approx 55% of them) (pardon me if I'm wrong). They do a lot, mostly money wise or food-'annathaanam'.

So, what am I trying to point out here?

Let me replay a conversation which I had with a few elder men.

Location : Thaneer panthal

Me: Oh my, look. There's a dog inside the panthal. People are eating. Some may not like pet. We should get him out of the panthal.

Friend 1 : ???????

Me: I bet he is here for food. It looks clean and well groomed. The owner might be looking for it. ( I should ask a male help to carry this dog)

Ignorant Male 1: Hi!

Me: HI! there's a dog here, in the panthel. We must bring him out of here (tuuki veliye udenoo)....(before I finish)

Ignorant male 1:  Go catch the dog and let it outside.(poi tuuki veliye udenghe)
                        -at this point, he was smiling at me. I should have punched his face!

Me: (I better ask someones help)

Me: Hi, I must let the dog outside, but I'm scared it might bite me. Can you assist me?

Good guy: sure.

Me: (gently touched the dog, he was friendly) carried outside. Let him there.

Few mins later....

Me: oh god , the dog is here again! I think we need to give him food. Put the food outside so that he won't come in again.

Good guy: there's paper plate. Go ahead.

Me: uncle, pls put some food.

Male jerk 1: no polystyrene allowed

Me: not polytsyrene.

Male jerk 1: there's silver plate. Use that. Why this plate?

Me: no, there's a dog there, It might be hungry. I want to give some food.

Male jerk 2: I thought for you. The dog can find its own food. (laughing)

Male jerk 1: Yeah, don't waste the plate and food. The dog can find its food. (laughing, joining Jerk 1)

Me: (Good, you've served the purpose of annathanam. Keep laughing jerks)


At the end of the day, they were happy, they've served all the people who came. But, they failed to feed one hungry mouth, which can't speak and ask for food.

All that happened between 1 girl and 4 men. Sad thing they doing these blindly. What's wrong giving just two spoonful of rice from a large bucket? People waste food. A plate full of rice, they can't finish it, they throw it.

Dogs don't eat vegetarian food.
In hunger, all dogs eat whatever they get. And they love ghee.

“Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.”
