I still very much remember everything... how'd i forget...how'd u even imagine that i'd...
PURPOSE OF LIFE: Every moment well spent makes your life worthwhile.
"Life is a big Distraction".
Life certainly is a distraction, and if u choose not to get distracted, you are dead. We are here with a mission, but we need to find it. we need to savour every moment that has been given to us.Most often,we find people brooding about what could have been done or what is going to happen in the future. how many of us take time to enjoy the breeze blowing or thank god for the life he has given us?
Every moment well lived makes life worthwhile. you are here for a reason and if you will let the divine power show you the way, you will see what the reason is. if you continue being worried about yesterday or what you have to tell some friend tommorow, you will never be able to see it.
Today well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness!!! Do you want to have a life of regrets or would you rather live it a second time by simply going over your memories??? The secret of life is to know who you are and where you are going. You will discover this secret as you proceed through life. You can only be peaceful if you will put your faith in god and allow him to take care of the rest. So all you need to do is,live in the present.Do u see now,why is it called a present???coz...
yesterday was a cancelled cheque,
Tomorrow is a promised note,
Today is cash in hand.
I still remember this, I cant forget this and all the mails that u have send me.. all the ways in which u used to taunt me, irritate me, criticize me, I love those things abt u and I cant forget a thing i cant even forget u, no matter however hard I may try, no matter how hard I try not to miss u but heart in heart I really do. and I know that u don’t but its alright..i know once upon a time u did..and I’ll try to understand..i’ll somehow convince myself to let go..if not totally,I’ll adjust myself to the new circumstances
Once upon a time I had asked for ur frienship..i really don’t know why I did that??its something that just came out..i’m glad it came out..atleast u know what I am looking for,and I don’t regret abt it at all..i don’t want to..regret is the last thing that I’ll do with our relation…
I know as long as u were with me u gave me everything that u could, did everything that u could..
I know that while u were with me we were real friends and u were always happy for all the good things that happened and were always there for me when i needed someone..
I know that u always did whatever was needed to be done..whatever I wanted without cribbing abt any problems though u had many
I know that u always helped me in all the problems that I faced sometimes even without me asking it from u
I know that a thing should only be at the place where it is the most needed.. that’s why u are where I see u now..
I know that we can never be the way we were anytime in the future, and after a couple of weeks when I’ll be gone the distance between us will increase further..
I know I can go on writing this for a long long time…but still I’ll never be able to express what I really wish to..all I can say is for everything that has been and probably is between us I’m thankful for that..i really am..u were with me thru the time I believed in friendship and needed a friend..
All I want to ask of u now is just be in touch with me..of all the things u and I got to do,of these busy schedules if we manage to take the time out and get to talk to each other even once in a while I’ll be happy..
I want to ask u this one question that I might have asked u a million times and never got a satisfactory answer….why do I lose the people I love the most???

Got 10 minutes for your country?
Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke,The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?
Take a person on his way to Singapore. Give him a name - YOURS. Give him a face - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your Internationalbest. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores.
YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM.
YOU come back to theparking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity... In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU?
YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai.
YOU would not dare to go out without yourhead covered in Jeddah.
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds ( Rs.650) a month to, 'see to itthat my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'
YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop,'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.'
YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia andNew Zealand.
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo?
Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston???
We are still talking of the same YOU.
YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papersand cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India?Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay, Mr. Tinaikar, had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on thestreets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels thepressure in his bowels?In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan. Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right.
We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility. We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to doeverything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide cleanbathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public. When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's thewhole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system? What does a system consist of ? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and thegovernment. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with amajestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away. Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run toEngland. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country.
Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too.... I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians.....'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'
Lets do what India needs from us.

She came back...
She finally contacted me...
20 days of oblivion.. not much, but long enough..
She had dissappeared without a trace..taking away many a thing from my life..
I know things werent all that normal..ok, i'll keep this for some other post..for now, the important things...
She had some dental operation, now she looks pretty different from the way i'd seen her..She say that she lost her long nose, but is looking better now..I still dont understand why the doc's had to chop off your nose, if it was a dental surgery..beats me, i guess thats why its good i didnt become a doctor..but.. It was soo wonderful talkin to you the other day, after such a long time.. i dont quiet have the words to describe how it has changed things soo much..
We might not be in the best of the times..
We might not be what we really wanted to be for each other..
We might not be totally sure of the other persons feelings, thoughts or whatever...
We might not even share what we used to earlier..
but, now i have hope....

My Love..
My love is like an ocean
It goes down so deep
My love is like a rose
Whose beauty you want to keep.
My love is like a river
That will never end
My love is like a dove
With a beautiful message to send.
My love is like a song
That goes on and on forever
My love is like a prisoner
It's to you that I surrender.
And i know,still it just wouldnt matter...
It goes down so deep
