You Live Within Me.......

The world has declared you dead,But I don't believe...

With me, within me, you still live!!

It has been almost one year....

still I can feel you, smell and hear!!

I had created you, you are my part!

I don't believe that you can ever depart....
In every single day,you are always there..

In all my acts,and in my prayer...

I can't see or talk to you,

But I always care....

More than my daughter You were-My beloved little friend!

It was great fun!growing together-hand-in-hand!

I am desprate to see you just for once!

Will you agree? Will I get a chance??

Will you come? Will it be possible?

May be in the dreams!!!May be in the real??

The smart brains advise me--
I should not reason the Death!
But isn't it obvious
With the fractured faith?

Whom should I blame?
whose fault should I claim?
The position of stars??
Or the lines on the palms??

It is very tough!
But I have to try...
It is ridiculous to laugh..
When I want to cry..

I have to live in the name of-
"Life has to go on!!"
so living the deadly life,
with each new Dawn!

You are not dead..
Still living within me!
in your Maa!
who else can it be??

...Maa

Kids in the pool....

Today my daughter and I both were excited! She wanted to show me that she can swim….for last three years I was trying that she should learn swimming but she was so scared…like mother like daughter!
I don’t know swimming and for this matter I didn’t want her to be like me! But for her refusal to learn I gave up…..

This year she had been at her cousin’s place for few days. All her cousins used to go to the pool there …...she was the only one to be at the pool side watching them…she decided that she won’t allow her cousins to have fun without her! She decided to learn so she did!

She came back to me and I wanted to see her swim!
I enjoyed one hour at the pool….and this is what I saw there…....

Kids were there in the swimming pool,
Learning to swim with the “float” tool!

Blue, yellow, green and red,
Beautiful costumes with various shades!

Four, five, six….eight ,ten years old,
Some were shy, others were bold!

Some were energetic, others were lazy,
Some were dull, others were crazy!

Tiny pretty princess, sweet and cute!
That chirpy little girl, refused to be mute!!

The sweet little boy, worried and crying,
The trainer came shouting, “why you not trying?

Come on kid! Relax, be cool!
Don’t hide there, don’t make me fool!!”

Time and again, comes his turn!
Boy O boy! He was so scared to learn!!

“Few days later you will win!”
The trainer encouraged him, holding his chin!

All in all joy was beaming,
Kids were happy with playful swimming!

Like ducks or turtles or fishes do!
These “aquatic kids” can swim too!!
---------

One thing I would like to add that some parents just force their kids to learn. I was sad to see little kids in tears while their parents scolding them…they should give some time to the kids..let them enjoy to learn……

Live and ticking!!!

Hello friends,

All of you have been kind enough to drop here every now and then…and asking for me :) thank you !!
Well, I was here only…..
…Not that I forgot to write in English , it is just that I am enjoying more in Hindi…( mujhe bhee kuchch kahana hai) ….
** If you can read Hindi, please do visit there..I promise I won’t disappoint you. :)

…Not that I have nothing to share with you.. it is just that expressions are not coming out in a neat blog post….

….My little friend ( I fondly call her so!) Ketki is completing one year of her blog tomorrow. Though she didn’t write much as she was in her “tough 12th" standard….I hope to read more from her in the coming year….I love her way of “expression”. She has written a nice post on happiness a few days back….

I am very happy for Abhay kumar... his book “ River Valley to Silicon Valley” ( story of three generations of an Indian family ) has released on 2nd may ….. I had read this book and I liked it very much ..My coment on his book is- --“ A true Indian story told in a very honest, humble and innocent way without any drama.”

I am wishing all the best to both of my friends…..

MIGHTY OCEAN

Oh! Mighty ocean what happened to your mood?
Why you have become so much rude?
We know your powers, and so we pray,
You need not show that in such a horrible way!
Just in a moment you wiped away lives,
There were children, husbands and wives!
There were cows, dogs and cats,
The master lost all, his possession and pets!
You cheated the fishermen, who depended on you,
Now where they will go? They don’t have a clue!
You can do that again, that is a fact,
But please try to give us little time to react!

After two years, the sufferers of tsunami are still struggling to find pace of their lives....May God help them to win their fight with life.....

AN OLD FORWARD

* In case none of your friend has sent these lessons in logic, read on and smile!!


If your father is a poor man,
it is your fate but,
if your father-in-law is a poor man,
it is your stupidity.


Practice makes perfect,
But nobody's perfect,
so why practice?

If it's true that we are here to help others,
then what exactly are the others here for?

Since light travels faster than sound,
people appear bright until you hear them speak.

How come "abbreviated" is such a long word?

Money is not everything.
There's Mastercard & Visa.

One should love animals,
They are so tasty.

Behind every successful man, there is a woman
And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.

Every man should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.

The wise never marry
and when they marry they become otherwise.

Success is a relative term.
It brings so many relatives.

Never put off the work till tomorrow
what you can put off today.

"Your future depends on your dreams"
So go to sleep

There should be a better way to start a day,
Than waking up every morning.

"Hard work never killed anybody"
But why take the risk.

"Work fascinates me",
I can look at it for hours.

God made relatives,
Thank God we can choose our friends.

The more you learn,
the more you know,
The more you know,
the more you forget
The more you forget,
the less you know,
So.. why learn.

A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk, I have a work station
what more can I say........

COLOURED LIFE !!!

I was sitting idle..... doing nothing....No, not that I had nothing to do ! In fact I had a fantastic reason for not doing anything...'too much work ........don't know where to start from?'
I tried to talk to my daughter, but at times children play adults! she simply ignored me. She was busy with her drawing...all the crayons, colour tubes and brushes were there on the floor..... Different colours pulled some strings in my mind.....I tried to relate those colours to the events of my life..........

Blue--- Colour of the universe!
To be here as the wisest creation of God in the form of human being.

White-- Honesty and sincerity!
- To live life peacefully with best of my ability.

Red--- Moments of anguish and anxiety!
- Making mistakes and then regreting them.

Pink--- Health!
- No major health problem for the family(*touchwood*).

Yellow--Satisfaction!
- Be able to be happy with life's little pleasures....believing in my own ability and work.

Green-- Pride and Richness!
- To be able to *create* two wonderful daughters!

Gray-- Failures!
- Moments of trying hard and not getting desired results.

Saffron--Courage!
- I think I am not a coward, some fighting spirit is there in me.

Then there will be a complete 'BLACK-OUT' when death will be meeting me, making my life whole!! Till then I am enjoying these different shades of life.....
