Small Things..!!!

You know how sometimes some things that u see make u feel all lighthearted and good abt the fact that life is not all that bad… things that draw an involuntary smile onto ur face… I just witnessed a couple of instances that made me feel all happy and cheerful… Yesterday night I had gone to the nearby restaurant to get dinner… I was waiting for my order when my eyes fell on this old couple having their dinner at a table nearby. And they were really old… past their 60’s definitely…!! It struck me as quite surprising that they had come out for dinner..! but what struck me even more than that was the love and the camaraderie that they shared still… the grandpa was having dosa and the grandma was having pulao … she leaned over to her husband and gave him a piece of paneer from her plate saying I know how much u like paneer and therefore you have it while her husband was protesting…!! It amazes me to see that kind of love still alive and the spark and twinkle in that grandma’s eyes when she ...

What's the meaning of this?!!?!

I came across this quote on the net… and have been trying to figure out the meaning ever since… I just don’t seem to get it… Anyone care to enlighten me…. :-$ Put yourself in Hamlet's shoes. Suppose you were a prince and you came back from college to discover that your uncle had murdered your father and married your mother, and you fell in love with a beautiful girl and mistakenly murdered her father, and then she went crazy and drowned herself. What would you do? Go back for masters ?

Being in the twenties - Worth a read...

This is one of the best forwards that i have received till date! I can just totally relate to it!! Read thru' it to find out for yourself...!!! BEING IN TWENTIES – SOMETHING… It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you. You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job ...

Purple Hats - Erma Bombeck

Let's All Wear Purple Hats! In honor of women's history month and in memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer. Here is an angel sent to watch over you. Pass this on to women that you want watched over. IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck (written after she found out she was dying from cancer). I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded. I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband. ...

Resolutions for New Year!?! or for LIFE :-)

Work hard at what you like to do and try to overcome all obstacles Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know Don't be afraid to show your emotions laughing and crying make you feel better Love your friends and family with your entire being they are the most important part of your life Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams always remember life is better than it seems There comes a time when you must stand alone. You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams. You must be willing to make sacrifices. You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved. Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged. There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities. Be strong enough to at least try to make ...
