Does Love Do It 2 You

Weekends are off for me. Work hard for five days, long hours and plenty of tasks looking forward to spend two days chilling. I do whatever I want to. Washing up is the usual. Occassionally friends drop in and we talk about what's happening in our lives, discuss any problems, watch footy and play PS2. Life is cool so far.

Some weekends are not like others. I contemplate when I am alone. Thinking about her. Imagining how she would be spending her time. Girls huh! Reading love stories, listening to music, chatting with each other about latest handbag or their all time favourite Retail Therapy - shopping. But the thought of her sometimes just haunts me. She is a known stranger to me. I know her in some ways, but total stranger in plenty. I don't know if she even likes me or not, but I know that I do. Clearity prevails along with fear. I wonder even if I ask her out or even just confess to her that I like you, what would be the outcome?
And that's where my wise mate comes in saying -

"Life is too short and then you die!"

Makes me wonder as well as worry that does love only last as long as this body does?

Is end of Life end of Love? My heart disagrees to believe that and instincts shout to me that you will love her forever. But in all this apprehension what should I be doing? Confess to her that I like you and am crazy about you, she might turn around and say no. But that would not stop me loving her. Love to me is a timeless and priceless feeling that is cherished within the soul and not the body, prevails within the spirit and not within the brain.

Someone whom I want to be with. Spend hours chatting and knowing her. Make her laugh. Want to understand her, rather than everyone who expects others to understand them. Unconditional friendship is what I would love to have between us.
But hey these are just lovely thoughts which bring a smile on my face, reality sits just opposite to me smiling back at me saying - "Dear I am still here."

So the odds of me being alone in my life look more when I text her and get no reply back ever. When I turn up at her place she vanishes in her room doing just about anything and leaves me alone. But my friends what I live for is - Just few minutes with her, Just a smile on her face and enjoying the pleasure of her company.

But she might have a boyfriend whom she even loves more than I could love her, so there you go. But still that does not stop me from loving her.
There is nothing at all wrong in loving someone even if they do not love you back - Well that is just a thought. So I'll just keep on loving her forever and ever.

Courage

Courage - One Thing You Can't Take Away From Me

A seven letter consisting of a lot of potential that if unleashed will succeed in various directions and win many battles of real life.

Courage - The state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery. This is the definition at answers.com.

A quality that resides within yourself bearing such power that it could be used entirely at your discretion and will. My grandfather used to say there are two ways of facing life - accept the fact and live happily with a smile on your face. The other way is you moan and blame the fate is not right. Have a frown on the face facing the world. So decission is entirely yours.

I would rather prefer the first option as I believe my fate is already written somewhere. Courage is a gesture towards life that says that I am ready to face you. Courage is such an armour that not many of us have. It has immense potential if shown at the right time and at the right place. Bravery is another side of that coin. This quality that shines on the shoulders of brave soldiers which is even earns the respect from the enemy. Courage shown in the battle has won thousands of wars.

Courage in daily life is seen at plenty of places. To begin with, a confession of one's mistake in front of group of people is courage. To tell someone you are wrong to someone who is far more larger, greater and powerful than you are - This is courage. Telling your Managing Director you are wrong and still making your point through. Proposing a beautiful girl to marry you. Telling the truth at any cost and in all circumstances.

When you face a disastor like earthquake and loose all your loved ones and family, but still carry on living making a fresh start. A couple who had problems to conceive a child, finally get blessed with a boy bearing in mind that they can never have another baby again. Sending this boy to the Armed Forces for service is called Courage. A mother who is crying, after losing he four sons in Second World War, not to the fact because she has lost them but that she has no more sons to send to serve the nation - This is Bravery.

Courage makes us Bold.

Moulds a person to face any situation in life. Courage becomes the backbone of any pursuit. It makes you powerful enough to stand up to something to which you do not agree. Live life with full confidence and courage and see the results. One trusts other but forgets trusting one's own self. Never ever in life loose your own self confidence.

Trust thy Self.

Your Courage is one thing that would never leave you and no one can steal it from you. Courage enables you to make your dreams come true. Courage obtained in any form thrusts you towards success. This success transforms into encouragement, making you think even more bigger possibilities. Hence Success becomes Courage driving you towards a new bigger Goal of Life.

I would say at this juncture, do something new what you have not tried before in your life.

Be Brave, Be Courageous Make Your Dreams Come True!

Motivation is not anywhere else. It resides within yourself. You are the source of your own success in life. If it was not for you yourself then you would not have succeeded and lived so many years. Life gives you very few opportunities to be Brave and show Courage, if one misses this chance than he is not worth it. Courage is the best ally one can possibly ask for.

Life or Fate is fair most of time in throwing things at you. Life would never throw something that you cannot face it with Courage and overcome it. Even to acheive the love of your life you have to be brave enough to approach it, face the nerve wrecking moment and win it. One of my loved one says - "One Man With Courage Makes Majority"

Face Life With Courage Within.

Saying No Hurts - Ouch !!

The only time it hurts to say NO is while you are saying that to your loved one or the thing which you love. Most of us had that feeling either once or more than once.

The other person suffers more that we do, most of the time. It is a feeling of helplessness that arises when we hear the NO. It feels like end of the world.

Why did my ears ever listened the words? Why???

One of the most miserable feeling one can ever feel is when a couple in love breaks up. Irrespective of who says the NO, the other suffers but undoubtedly the speaker also goes through the same misery. Responsible for uttering those words leaves that person spell bound is thinking about what state of mind the other one is in.

You feel sick, heart broken, sad, rejected, helpless, miserable, what do I lack?, cry out your heart, separated, removed from, insulted, not loved and what not. The list goes on and on. Nothing gives calmness to mind and heart is restless along with mind. You feel down and don't like anything. The things that used to give you joy no longer bring even a modest smile on your face. You don't talk and start self reflection.

Time the best healer of all wounds!

Time proves to be going slow and nothing seems to be moving. Life as if has come to a stand still. But it is only with time that both these lovers move on. Every life takes its own path and there is destiny for every soul. Lovers and loved ones die, but the soul doesn't and neither does the love that used to be there. Amazingly enough we remember those loved ones at unexpected junctures of life. This could be one of the many possible ends of two loved ones, but there is always love and hope that they would find peace of heart somewhere, if not with each other.

Love Comes To Life As Daffodils Come To Spring

One might think that what would happen to this poor soul. Will this one ever be filled with joy and love again? And answer is given, when one sees that another person enters the life of this deserted heart. Cares for this person, has plenty of patience so that this person gains confidence, helps on every difficult occasion and gives unbiased and undivided attention to this soul. This might eventually turn into a bonding that is termed as platonic love. This love eventually changes the life of a deserted soul which was once down with frustration, dejected and severly hurt. The person brings joy, happiness, peace and content to life. But not many are lucky to have the plesure of Love-Spring after a disastrous Breakup-Winter.

But such is life I guess, still more to explore and more to suffer. Plenty to enjoy and plenty to learn from this wise teaching life. But saying no hurts, hurts a lot.

Independence

One of the essential attributes of a state under international law is external sovereignty—that is, the right to exercise freely the full range of power a state possesses under international law. Recognition of a state as independent necessarily implies that the recognizing states have no legal authority over the independent state. The status of a fully independent state should be contrasted with that of dependent or vassal states, where a superior state has the legal authority to impose its will over the subject, or inferior, state. - from http://www.answers.com/

If the similar aspect is covered in a human's life the fresh and free air is felt in the lungs giving the highest form of self-confidence and trust within an individual. Believe to be free. Be free but be disciplined. The freedom of thought affects the life we live and the world we will create and leave for our children.

Be brave in what you want to do and think freely from any bondings or distractions. Be unbaised and independent in your decessions. After 60 years of Independence India is struggling in few matters of its international borders. There is much to fight for and be there for your country. The independence of India came at a huge price which we cannot afford to pay again; Never again. Trust your country and countrymen. Respect the soldiers that protect the borders and provide you the freedom to live as you wish in India.

Struggle Of 2006

Contemplating 2006 as I near to the end, I feel important lessons of life were learnt. Every one has a tough life but for some it is harder and tougher than others. This life does not give retake to you as one would get at Hollywood!

Experienced that why people always worship the Rising Sun and not the Setting Sun! Help was also not free! Hence the saying Everything has a Price and There is nothing like free Lunch. Sometimes I wonder that whom should one trust in this world. And amazingly the whole world works on this simple word TRUST. Contemplate in your own space and search your feelings and you would get the answer.

Came to know who are my true friends, who are selfish and who are even not worth remembering during difficult times. Life at one point showed me failure, helplessness, debt, sadness, uncertainity in my future and worst of all distrust. Honesty Is The Best Policy, but only if it is towards the right person or worthy master!

Life is a wonderful experience and would love to enjoy and live it to the fullest, because no one has seen tomorrow! The same year gave me friends whom I will be ever so thankful for the moral support and courage they have given me in the darkest hours of my life. Mixed feelings of Frustration, Anger, Helplessness and Apprehension haunted my thoughts in the beginning of this year. But these 2 friends believed in me and were positive even then and are also today. God or Supreme Force does not throw anything at us which we cannot handle, this is what I have learnt! These friends helped me find my path, my own self-confidence and also the ability that I can fight this world on my own.

Father a word that means love, shelter, support, friend, warmth, protector, assurer and many more to me. He stood by me saying just one sentence -

I will be always there for you son, even if you are a failure or a success; I am your father and always will be!

I wish everyone should be blessed with the love of a father and no one should be left out, but in life there are cruel incidents and not everyone gets what they deserve.

Things did change during the middle of the year and ray of hope was felt when I got my work visa. But at that time more than me the 2 friends of mine where the happiest persons on the earth! Amazing is Love of Friendship! One of my good friend always says - "These Days Will Also Pass By"; and I could not argue much on that.

To Change is in the nature of Nature

Opportunity did knock at my door, offering me work purely on my merits and nothing else. Life is showing me the path of progress and experience is making me wiser and knowledgeable. A Smile stays on my face when I call my self, that in a way I have become, a Conservative Liberal. Two words who are antonyms of each other but describe the youth who is gaining wisdom within me.

Sometimes Life does not give us what we want easily, we have to struggle and make effort. Everyone knows that but not many of us implement that; hence only the experience of failure and the spirit of not giving into that failure, makes us wiser, confident and stronger to make another attempt towards success.

You would only know the true person within your friend only when you are in desperate need of his/her help. Try something new, ask for help to your most reliable friends and you would be surprised what you experience! A wiseman used to say

Never Trade Your Funeral Money For Someone's Wedding

There is ray of light at the end of this Dark Tunnel called 2006, but I am ever so thankful to Life and Almighty that without this experience I would have not learnt these lessons of life which I have learnt paying a very hefty price. Certainly one could say I am changed within my heart and mind! Priority of morals in my life has changed resulting in the wisdom and experience which I carry with me.

Making things light, would like to say that Live Life with complete awarness. Never for one minute doubt your inner-self as it is the voice that would never lie to you in any situation of life. Trust yourself more than others and believe within yourself.

Christmas - Gifts or God? Commercialization or Christ?

Christmas 2006 was wonderful. Enjoyed it at one of my mates place. The only time in the western world when families get together with love in their hearts for each other, that is what my little experience tells me.

Commercialisation was widely prevalent in cities rather than the spirit of the birth of Christ. Christmas is still a wonderful thing as it brings families and friends together even though they have been apart for a year. The positivity, kindness, joy and enjoyment is felt all over the place. The weather is cold and snow is always everyone's favourite on a Christmas Day!

People enjoy giving away over Christmas! It is an atmosphere which is immpossible to describe in vocabulary but only best felt and explained if one experiences it. Church holds Midnight Mass and Christmas Carols but very few prefer to go there. Families enjoys drinking Sherry or Wine when gathered on the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Not to forget the wonderful Father Christmas or Santa Clause as we all know him, is expected to bring gifts to kids. Hanging those wonderful stockings overnight and in the morning they are filled with gifts miraculously. But as we all know parents or guardians do it for the happiness of kids. In the morning when the kids open the gifts, the joy of happiness and innocent faces lit up filling the whole atmosphere in the home with joyousness.

People like to invite people who would be alone over Christmas. No one likes to spend Christmas on their own apart from Scrooge! Family and friends come closer discovering how much they love each other. Plenty of food is cooked including the traditional Turkey and the Christmas Pudding.

Good thing about Christmas in today's life is that it brings families and friends who love each other dearly and fills up their heart with the spirit of Joy and Happiness. I enjoyed Christmas and would love to enjoy it for the next coming years of my Life.

Hope - Even After The End

Hope as defined in dictionary is - "A wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation of its fulfillment."

Materialistic desires give birth to selfish hopes. People wanting to acheive their targets and goal become hopeful to be successful. Hope in all cases and situations is a neutral term which portrays positivity in the direction of the goal.

Staying hopeful even after the worst has struck you is like bringing a dead man back by giving him electric shocks on a hospital bed. But even described as another meaning - "Hope is an emotional belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances within one's personal life."

This leads me to believe that hope shows commitment, it shows a promise to one's own thoughts that there is a possibility of them coming true even against all odds. Hope in real life is seen at many junctures fighting with the logical and practical thoughts within the mind. Hope is a term that even if there would be nothing at all there will be hope. Hope from all living beings has gained such a momentum that its own existance is not seen through naked eyes but it previals and will exists even after all living beings are extinct.

Being hopeful can make you mentally weak and selfish, but contractdicting my own sentence it might make you mentally strong in helpless and severe circumstances. Desperation on the other hand serves like a traitor when imagined with Hope. At the same time Patience is a wiser and greater ally, if considered as a virtue and placed alongside Hope.

Hope also reminds me of a old saying which my Guru used to tell me inorder to motivate me. "These Days Will Also Pass By." It is just a simple sentence but has the essence of Hope in every word and space. It fills you with confidence, positivity, assertiveness and feeling of starting fresh when you are feeling low. And if one is at the peak of success, this sentence removes any ego, over confidence and self pride that would have made itself at home in one's mind.

Presence of good friends has always been there in my life. At times I have seen those same friends analyse their own problems in the most negative way as possible and loose all the hope. Being a neutral analyser, I could see how hope dies bit by bit when the series of incidences go against your good will. And being a good friend I have always given hope to my friends in difficult times.

Hope is even there after we have faced the death of a loved one, that I will see that loved one again. No one knows where, how and when, but love for that person does give birth to this feeling of Hope. Hence I believe Hope - Even After The End!

Open Invite 2 Friends, Acquaintances & Unknowns

Friends, Acquaintances and Unknowns

Feel free to send me your thoughts, weblinks or pictures to express yourself on this blog in any subject you wish. It would give me nothing but the pleasure of reading and knowing what you think.

So I will be waiting to hear from you!

Visit 2 Home Town

Home town sometimes hold some fond memories in everyone's mind. Certainly it does in mine. Those streets where we played cricket with neighbourhood friends. Those fights for just declaring me out when I wasn't. Peaceful places of contemplation and heart throbbing parties of schools and colleges.

Cherish friends who are always part of parcel that come with only that homely surroundings. Relaxation that comes by just breathing the air of hometown, eventhough, it is polluted by modernisation. But unmatched satisfaction that arises after drinking the water of your own home eventhough it has loads of mineral salts which are not good for you.

Such are the memories and feelings of home city. Your dad is proud and happy to see you and the priceless smile on his old face stays till you stay with him. Family friends notice that happiness and just ask you a dilemetic question - where will you settle, here or abroad? or Are you taking your parents alongwith you this time? Childhood bonding of love is such a thriving force in life that it would pull you back to your roots, where you belong, from any part of this whole world.

Friends are arranging dinnners for you, relatives just ask you which one of your favourite dish would you like to eat this time? And if you are lucky, your gran is preparing a treat of your favourite sweets. The shower of unconditional love makes you so drenched in love that hardly any sunshine or dryer can take that moist of love away from you.

Whenever I contemplate on my stay in my home city it reminds me of a Rose. A metaphor which I can say, that it gives its priceless and pleasant smell to every passing by person but if you try to take that rose away from its plant, there is a possible danger of getting hurt by its thorns.

Short lived sadness prevails in my mind of being back at my Karma Bhumi but the light of hope is there as always that glad would be my mind and heart to be back at my Matru Bhumi.

Freedom Of Speech - Bindas Bol

Expressing your self in terms of speech freely is lacking through out the world. People ashmed of talking about topics which are controversial. Saying a simple sorry or a gesture of forgiveness is also restrained by the barrier of ego. Everyone on this earth who has right to live has the freedom to talk and express freely but not many of us consider and implement this.

Bindas Bol is a place where, not only mine, but I would like to post everyone's expressions of their own thoughts in the purest and original form for the world to read.
