~ Reflections ~

kissi ke intezaar mae hum baithe hai pur samay to kut he nahi raha... aur ye ghatta hai ke mujhe uksa ke chal di !

I learnt a very interesting concept recently.. We all face situations in life when people have a tendency to tick us off... some do it intentionally and some unintentionally.. but in either case , the reflection of what they've said/done is reflected in our moods.. we generally tend to become reactive after such incidents, spoiling our mood ( and even our day sometimes )... The challenge lies in not letting such people/situations affect us.. Going by the concept , it says that anytime someone tries to do such things (read : Tries to Turn you OFF) , one must make a conscious effort and Turn ourselves On again (pun totally unintended ;)). And what is even more important to remember is that though someone has made the effort to turn us Off , only if we try on our own can we get switched back On. An easy and effective way i have discovered for achieving the above is simply by trying to think if the person is worth spoiling your mood.. it works most of the times... Quote : It takes but

One day a child goes to his mother and asks her, "Mother, who is that old man sitting on that mountain?" The mother answers, "Dont call him and old man. He is Lord Buddha, who knows answer to every question in this universe." "Really, he knows answers to all questions?" asks the child. "Yes my dear", replies the mother. The child goes to the mountain where Buddha is meditating, catches a butterfly from the garden, and cupping the butterfly gently in his hands, approaches the buddha. Keeping his hand behind his back, he asks Buddha, "Is the thing in my hand alive or dead?" The child thinks that if Buddha answers that the thing is alive, he will crush the butterfly in his hand and show the dead butterfly proving Buddha wrong. And if Buddha answers that the thing is dead, he will open his hands gently and let the butterfly fly away, proving Buddha wrong again. Thus Buddha would not know the answer to all questions. "Is the thing in my

What is beauty.. is it what is visible , or is it something deeper than just skin.. or should i say face value.. in which case, how much should one understand and take as face value.. But then if what is important is what lies deep inside , then what is love at first sight... is it a reality.. isnt love at first sight simply a direct reaction to someone's external appearance?

Have you ever wondered why we deny what we should actually accept..what we know is true... I wonder what it is in us , that stops us from accepting the truth...which is actually evident..

We’ve been friends for quite sometime now... I had seen this coming for a long time. He finally took me out for dinner…. Even the ambience was perfect…gentle breeze , starry night … dinner (without electricity) hence in candle light .. “We’ve been friends for ages.. so I want to tell you something” I could barely hear what he was saying… my heart was pounding.. say it quick, I can’t bear this any longer , I was saying in my head. “I love her, I really do.. your best friend…..” Quote Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have "

We all have a view about things.. but it is so important to hear what others have to say.. People can sometimes add a whole new dimension to things/situations... and it is not just important to listen to others, but also try and understand their perspective... its amazing how sometimes , it can help solve problems that we consider deadlocks .. Quote “Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

I like this forward a lot.. a friend's impact in one's life is something that can't be expressed in words... So here's going out to all my friends... Thanks for always being there for me ! One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd. "I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with myfriends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and trippinghim so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around

We all have aspirations and dreams about our First Salary... how we intend to spend it or save it ;-).. But what would you say if someone didnt have any emotions attached to their first salary... so would you call me abnormal?!?
