Ab ke bichde to…….

February 24th, 2009

Teri khatir ye nazrein bichhi hi raheen,
Dil ne maana kabhi tum ne aana nahin

Kitni chaahat hai dil mein tere wastay,
Jaan-e-Jaanan kabhi tum ne jaana nahin

Aakhri deed ko aankhein tashna rahin,
Mil ke jaatay magar tum ne maana nahin

Dil girifta hain ghamgeen hain..choor hain,
fir aise mujhe tum sataana nahin

Tere intezar me sadiyoon se soyi nahin,
Aankh lag jaaye gar tum jagaana nahin

Tujh se pehlay thi be-rung ye zindagi,
Ro chukay hain bohat ab rulaana nahin

Jab say tu hai gayaa, phirti hun dar badar,
Kaisay ruk jaoon ab to mera koi thikaana nahin

Roothna..maan-naa hans ke yun chhedna,
Wo rafaaqat ke pal tum bhi kabhi bhulaana nahin

Thanx………….2 all of You…..

February 24th, 2009

Thanx to all of you for reading my blog, and leaving such a wonderful & inspiring comments ???all my work is dedicated to my husband MUKESH?..last year I lost him in a car accident??he left me without even speaking a single word???


The span between life & death can be as quick and sudden as a puff of wind that blows out a candle…..but the candle does not suffer after darkness comes…….it is the person left in the dark room who falls and stumbles :(

After losing Mukesh…..and that too in a friction of second??I wonder sumtime how God cud be so cruel???I am also with him on that ominous day….I was also badly injured in that accident & bed ridden for 3 months??..but what hurts me most that nobody told me that Mukesh left me for next 2 days??Till date I have that regret that I am not able to see him for the last time

Grief comes in one size extra large (XXL) .If we tuck it away in the bottom drawer, where it never sees the light of day, it remains exactly the same???On the other hand if we wear it, feel it , talk about it, and share with others, it is likely that it will become faded, shrunk and worn ,or will simply no longer fit ……..


So here I am writing all the hogwosh I can write….This blog is very close to my heart as it rescues me from all the phobias…..


Thanks everyone

ZAKHM JO AAPKI INAYAT HAI IS NISHANI KO NAAM KYA DE HUM

February 23rd, 2009




























Ajeeb Shakhsiyat hoon Khudh ko jalana chahti hoon,
Mein khudh ko rakh kar kahin bhool jana chahti hoon,
Mere naseeb ki khushiyan bhi kab milli mujhko??
Bas ab to umar bhar ansoo bahana chahti hoon,
Na janey kitni mohabbat hai ranj-o-gham hai mujhey,
Koi bhi dard ho dil mein chupana chahti hoon,
Baha baha ke yeh ansoo bikhar chuki hoon bohaat,
simat ke raat mein ab muskurana chahti hoon,
Jisey ek umer se Dil mein basa ke rakha hai,
Woh raaz aaj mein sab ko batana chahti hoon,
Wohi yaad hai jo acha kaha hai logo ne,
Baqaya sarey sitam bhool jana chahti hoon,
Mujhe zamaney ne pathar samajh liya hai magar,
Mein ek insaan hoon sab ko batana chahti hoon,
Jo mujh se ruth chuki hain zamane ki khushiyan,
To mein bhi khushyon se ab ruth jana chahti hoon,
Woh meri khwahishein, woh mera khwaab, woh meri bechani,
Umar rafta mein phir se woh pana chahti hoon,
Koi to ho jo mujhe bhi lagaye seenay se,
Kisi ko mein bhi gham apna sunana chahti hoon.

ENJOY……..

A mother and a baby camel were lazing around and suddenly the baby camel asked

Baby: Mother, mother may I ask you some questions?
Mother: Sure! Why son is there something bothering you?

Baby: Why do camels have humps?
Mother: Well, son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to store water and we are known to survive without water.

Baby: Okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded?
Mother: Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert, you know with these legs I can move around the desert better than anyone does! Said the mother proudly.

Baby: Okay, then why are our eyelashes long? Sometimes it bothers my sight.
Mother: My son, those long thick eyelashes are your protective cover. They help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind. Said mother camel with eyes rimming with pride…

Baby: I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eyelashes protect my eyes from the desert.

Then what the hell are we doing here in the zzzoooooooo!

The 11 Rules To Change Our World

February 19th, 2009

I have just finish reading the book written by Robin Sharma, "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari", so I think I should share whatever I have learnt after reading the book, I hope all of you will go through all these 11 rules ..

The 11 Rules To Change Our World

1. You be the change you dream of seeing (Thanks Mahatma Gandhi). “If everyone of us would sweep their own doorstep, the whole world would be clean,” observed Mother Teresa. She was right.

2. Make time every day to reconnect to your highest ideals and boldest dreams. Without hope, people perish.

3. Leave every person you meet better than you found them. Life’s too short to withhold encouragement and kindness.

4. See every setback as a stepping stone and every problem as a blessing in disguise. Contrary to what critics might say, these are NOT corny aphorisms. They are timeless truths of humanity. (And critics are just people too scared to grow their dreams anyway - pay no attention to them. The world needs more people lifting people up rather than putting people down).

5. Go the extra mile in everything you do - you don’t need a title to be a leader. And on your deathbed, you’ll never regret expressing the best within you

6. Do what’s right rather than what’s easy. Being a great person isn’t a popularity contest. Many of the greatest leaders were disliked because they refused to bend to the winds of public opinion. That’s called Strength of Character

7. Care for your health. You elevate the world by elevating yourself and your health really matters. Why be the richest person in the graveyard?

8. Tell your kids they are geniuses - and how much you adore them. Each of us are born geniuses but lose that gift within the first 6 years of our lives as we adopt the fears and limiting beliefs of those around us. Your kids are the leaders of the future. Grow their potential. Now.

9. Learn something new every day. As you grow, you begin to see possibilities you didn’t have the eyes to see before. Read from an inspiring book, listen to an audio program, visit a good blog, go to a powerful workshop or have a conversation with an elder. One idea is all it takes to transform your life.

10. Keep your life simple. Please. The secret to success and happiness is building your life around a few important things. The person who tries to do everything accomplishes nothing. “What’s the point in being busy doing the wrong things?”

11. Remember that life is a mirror and we receive what we give out. To get more joy, give more joy. To have more respect, give more respect. To realize your dreams, help others realize theirs.

BE POSITIVE………IT’S FREE OF COST

February 18th, 2009

Think Positive!!

My Friend send me this mail ..and I like to share this with all of you ..I hope U too become a little positive after reading this .Have a nice day

This is nice - finding positive out of every negative - which we don’t always manage to do.




I am thankful…

1. For the husband who snores all night, because he is at home asleep with me and not with someone else.

2. For my teenage daughter who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she is at home & not on the streets.

3. For the taxes that I pay because it means that I am employed.

4. For the mess to clean after a party because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.

5. For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.

6. For my shadow that watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.

7. For a floor that needs mopping, and windows that need cleaning because it means I have a home.

8. For all the complaining I hear about the government because it means that we have freedom of speech.

9. For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.

10. For the noise I have to bear from my neighbours because it means that I can hear.

11. For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.

12. For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been capable of working hard.

13. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am still alive.

AND FINALLY ……. for received e-mails because it means I have friends who are thinking of me, at least.

Decision Making


Which one will you choose?


A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids.


However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?
Let’s take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make…………….


Scroll down if you have no patience.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 







Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, I thought the same way initially because to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.
But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?


Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are.
The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.


The person who wrote the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train’s sirens.


If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake!
And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.


While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.


“Remember that what’s right isn’t always popular… and what’s popular isn’t always right.” Everybody makes mistakes; that’s why they put erasers on pencils.

 

Zindagi……..

February 17th, 2009

andaaj e bayaan hi badalta hai har baat ka matlab…
warna duniya mein koi baat nayi nahi…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Milna tha ittefaq bhichadna naseeb tha
Wo itna hi door ho
gaya, jitna kareeb tha


mai usko dekhne ko, tarasti hi reh gayi
Jis shakhs ki hatheli pe,mera naseeb tha


Dafna diya
gaya mujhe chandi ki kabrr main
main jisko chahti thi,wo shakhs gareeb tha

 

Zindagi main jeet kar bhi yahi sochti rahi,
Jo har kar
gaya tha,Bahut Khush naseeb tha

 

Fear of living alone……….

February 16th, 2009

For Mukesh………I know you are not with me physically……but for me…….you are always here

The heart of grief,
its most difficult challenge,
is not “letting go” of those who have died
but instead making the transition
from loving in presence
to loving in separation.

I am scared of so many things that I never was before
I wish I could go back in time- I couldn’t ask for more
I miss the wonderful plans we made
The memories we shared could never fade
But where do I go now? What do I do?
How do I continue to live without you?

Others may think I can continue where I was before I met you
They don’t understand that it’s impossible to do
Having you in my life, was the best dream come true
But since you’ve left this world, the sky is a different blue
Words can’t describe the emptiness inside
I get so lost without you here, I need you as my guide.

You can no longer be seen, by the human eye,
But your soul and love that you gave so many, will never ever die
Sometimes I wish I could tell myself that you’ll be back someday
If I could make just one wish right now, I’d wish you back to stay
I guess this is the way life goes, and God’s will we must accept
But I hope you didn’t feel this pain or weep the way I’ve wept

I miss a million things, every detail of who you are
I miss your mind, body and soul- I pray that heaven’s not too far
I still say I’m one very lucky girl to have been given the gift of you
Love like ours is rare these days;
I guess this earth can’t handle things so pure and true
People who knew us as a couple saw the happiness perfect love brings
So many people in this world care too much more
About less valuable things.

You taught me so much in the short time we spent together
You taught me the value of the truest of loves
That I’ll carry it with me forever
I know that I shouldn’t question God
Because obviously he knows more than I
But I can’t help constantly asking myself
“Why did he have to die?”
Why can’t all your dreams come true?
No one deserves them more than you.

I look around and see so many mean people who get to keep living
Why did God take you if He is just in His giving?
I have thought maybe He chose you
Because you were better than the rest
I pray everyday that heaven is as perfect as you;
You only deserve the absolute best
They say that only the good die young, never were words so true
I wonder if I had lived the way you did, if God would have taken me too?

TEARS…….

February 16th, 2009

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming GRIEF, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.

I think of you in silence,
And no one see me weep.
Because my silent tears are shed
While others are asleep.

God gave me the strength to face the sorrow;
The courage to bear the blow.
But what it meant to lose you,
Only He will ever know.

They say times helps us to forget
But time so far has only proved,
How much I miss you yet.
