Life Goes On . . .

In every human life,
there are some moments when one is sad and depressed
Frustrated from every zone of life,
And feel like leaving everything & going away
And Life Goes on..

Some moments in which
one is wrapped with tensions
one wants to get out of them
and fly high in the sky
But cant run away, and life goes on..

Some moments in which,
one who adores hurts sentiments,
one needs a support, a shoulder to dry on,
But doesnt find one, and life goes on..

Some moments in which one gets tired of life
or so intensely hurt that one wants to die
one wishes to end up with
life at that very moment, and life goes on..

And in every human life on day arrives
When there is a big halt to one's life.
And then the people cry
and show that they were concerned

Then the question arises
Do they wait for one's death..,
To care, To understand the one
If so, then wait till death and until then

Life Goes On . . .

Socrates ...

Be sure to read all the way to the end..... it's worth!

Next time someone starts to spread gossip, think of this:

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"

Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test.It's called the Triple Filter Test." "Triple filter?" "That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say.

The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..." "All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not.

Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?" "No, on the contrary..." "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you're not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued.

"You may still pass the test though,because there is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?" "No, not really..." "Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful,why tell it to me at all?"

The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

p.s. It also explains why he never found out that Plato (his student) was having an affair with his wife. :):)

Hope......



We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.
--Martin Luther King

Remember sadness is always temporary. This, too, shall pass.
--Chuck T. Falcon

He who has hope has everything. --Arabian Proverb

Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.--H. Jackson Brown Jr.

The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. --Allan K. Chalmers

Hope is like a bird that senses the dawn and carefully starts to sing while it is still dark.

Hope is the thing with feathersThat perches in the soul.And sings the tuneWithout the words,and never stops at all. --Emily Dickinson

Hope doesn't come from calculating whether the good news is winning out over the bad. It's simply a choice to take action. --Anna Lappe

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for. --Epicurus

Dating Tips for Men

Here are some of dating advice for men which would be practical and would make their dating experience more fruitful:

1. The first piece of dating advice for men is undoubtedly to be on time. If you are bound to be late, make sure you inform her of the same and also apologize about it. Also tell her by what time could you make it.

2. The girl could be uncomfortable if it is a blind date or if she does not know you really well. The best way to relax her is to be relaxed yourself. Make her comfortable and break the ice with a small talk about her and how the day had been for you.

3. Listen to her. That goes without saying, literally!

4. It is said that women are supposed to have sense of humor if they know to laugh at your jokes. But if she manages to say something which she thinks is funny and cute, or if it is a joke you have heard many times, don’t insult her by saying you already know it or that you didn’t find it funny enough. What is your loss, if you smile and laugh at the joke?

5. Ask questions relating to what she says. That shows that you are interested.

6. Be confident. Don’t slouch. Pay proper attention to your posture. Don’t figit with your nose or rub your ears, even if it itches.

7. Be yourself. Don’t exaggerate and don’t lie. Sooner or later, she could see through it.

8. Don’t kiss her on the first date. Control your raging hormones.

9. Make sure that you offer her a drive home or drop her home after the date.

10. Call her up after the date to tell her how wonderful the meeting had been. Don’t make it sound as if you are desperate for a second date, but let it come naturally in the conversation. If she had fun, she would give you hints for another date or tell you straight.

Dating advice for men is important because after all the impression you make on your woman will decide if she wants to continue with a relationship. So make the right impression by reading the above mentioned the dating advice for men, just before going out on a date.

I Wonder...



I sit here and wonder
Why our love died,
Through the days and months
God knows we tried.

I wonder why it is
After all this time,
You're the one thing
That won't leave my mind.

I wonder how you're doing
And do you think of me..?
Or are you glad it's over
And you're finally free.

I wonder why after few months
I still cry myself to sleep,
I wonder if the pain will go
Or if it I will always keep.

I wonder if you'd come back
If you thought you could,
I wonder if you were right
We only did what we should.

I wonder if you think of me
When you hear my name,
I wonder if you have forgiven
Or are you still laying blame..?

I wonder if you care at all
That we are apart,
I wonder if you know
I love you with all my heart.

I wonder why I wonder about
The things that I do,
Maybe it's because after few months
I'm still in love with you . . .

Perspectives......

When I take a long time I'm slow
When my boss takes a long time he's thorough

When I don't do it I'm lazy
When my boss doesn't do it he's busy

When I make a mistake, I'm an idiot.
When my boss makes a mistake, he's only human.

When I do something without being told, I'm overstepping my authority
When my boss does the same, that's initiative

When I take a stand, I'm being bull-headed
When my boss does it, he's being firm.

When I overlooked a rule of etiquette, I'm being rude
When my boss skips a few rules, he's being original

When I'm out of the office, I'm wandering around
When my boss is out of the office, he's on business

When I'm on a day off sick, I'm always sick
When your boss is a day off sick, he must be very ill

When I apply for leave, I must be going for an interview
When my boss applies for leave, it's because he's overworked

When I please my boss I'm crawling
When my boss pleases his boss, he's co-operating

When I do good, my boss never remembers
When I do wrong, my boss never forgets........

To be happy with.....

To be happy with a man
you must understand him a lot
& love him a little.


To be happy with a woman
you must love her a lot
& not try to understand her at all.


Married men live longer than single men,
but married men are a lot more willing to die.


Any married man should forget his mistakes
There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Facts About Women :)


1. Women love to shop. It is the one area of the world where they feel like they're actually in control.

2. Women especially love a bargain. The question of "need" is irrelevant, so don't bother pointing it out. Anything on sale is fair game

.3. Women never have anything to wear. Don't question the racks of clothes in the closet; you "just don't understand".

4. Women need to cry. And they won't do it alone unless they know you can hear them.

5. Women will always ask questions that have no right answer, in an effort to trap you into feeling guilty.

6. Women love to talk. Silence intimidates them and they feel a need to fill it, even if they have nothing to say.

7. Women need to feel like there are people worse off than they are. That's why soap operas and Oprah Winfrey-type shows are so successful.

8. Women hate bugs. Even the strong-willed ones need a man around when there's a spider or a wasp involved.

9. Women can't keep secrets. They eat away at them from the inside. And they don't view it as being untrustworthy, providing they only tell two or three people.

10. Women always go to public restrooms in groups. It gives them a chance to gossip.

11. Women can't refuse to answer a ringing phone, no matter what she's doing. It might be the lottery calling.

12. Women keep three different shampoos and two different conditioners in the shower.

13. After a woman showers, the bathroom will smell like a tropical rain forest.

14. Women don't understand the appeal of sports. Men seek entertainment that allows them to escape reality. Women seek entertainment that reminds them of how horrible things *could* be.

15. If a man goes on a seven-day trip, he'll pack five days worth of clothes and will wear some things twice; if a woman goes on a seven-day trip she'll pack 21 outfits because she doesn't know what she'll feel like wearing each day.

16. Women are *never* wrong. Apologizing is the mans responsibility, "It's there in the bible". hmmm who was it that gave Adam the apple?

17. Women do *not* know anything about cars. "Oil-stick, oil doesn't stick?"

18. Women have better rest rooms. They get the nice chairs and red carpet.

19. The average number of items in a typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

20. Women love to talk on the phone. A woman can visit her girlfriend for two weeks, and upon returning home, she will call the same friend and they will talk for three hours.

21. A woman will dress up to go shopping, to water the plants, to empty the garbage, to answer the phone, to read a book, or to get the mail.

22. Women will drive miles out of their way to avoid the possibility of getting lost using a shortcut.

23. Women do NOT want an honest answer to the question, 'How do I look?'

24. If it is not Valentines day, and you see a man in a flower shop, you can probably start up a conversation by asking, "What did you do?"

25. Women cannot use a map without turning the map to correspond to the direction that they are heading.

You have no right............



You have no right...
To ask me how I feel
You have no right …
To take me in your arms
And say you want me back
I have moved on with life
Living by my rules
You have no right……
To judge my conscious
Still hurts to look back
The way I loved you
Cared and wait for you
I left you with dignity
All for the right reasons..
Lies, deception and betrayals
Still haunts me every night
My love is too precious
To be wasted on you
There is no second chance..
You have no right….
To make me love you again

Eternal love



I wanted to shout
I wanted to cry
But I buried my sorrows
In the depths of my soul
Couldn’t stop - a tear or two
Didn’t let - the sighs to flow
I bear the pains - in my heart
Hiding the wound - that still bled
No one to heal - no one to care
Wanted to talk-But no one  to listen
Loneliness did griped - my mind
Confusion was – hard to define
I still do - remember that time
I used to believe – in eternal love . . .

Unusual Funeral :):)


A man was leaving a cafe with his morning coffee when he noticed a
most unusual funeral procession A funeral coffin was followed by a
second one about 50 feet behind the first. Behind the second coffin was a
solitary man walking with a black dog.

Behind him was a queue of 200 men walking in single line.
The man couldn't stand his curiosity. He approached the man walking with
the dog, "I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to
disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this with so many of you
walking in single line. Whose funeral is it?"

The man replied, "Well, that first coffin is for my wife."
What happened to her?" ! The man replied, "My dog attacked and killed her."
He inquired further, "Well, who is in the second coffin?"
The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife
When the dog attacked and killed her also."

A thoughtful moment of silence passes between the two men
Then the first one asks in excitement " Can I borrow the dog ?
The man replied ......... " Join the queue " !!!!!

It is Madness....


To hate all roses
Because you got scrached with one thorn......

To give up on your dreams
Because one did not come true......

To loose faith in prayers
Because one was not answered......

To give up on your efforts
Because one of them failed......

To condemn all your friends
Beacuse one betrayed you......

Not to believe in love
Because someone was unfaithful or didn't love you back.....

To throw away all your chances to be happy
Because you did not succeed on first attempt.......

I hope as you go on your way
You do not give in to madness...........

Remembering Always......
Another chance may come up.....
Another friend...
A new love........
A renewed strength....

Be persistent.....Look for happiness in every day......


The sure path to failure is to give up! It is often through failure that future success comes...Keep trying..........

Women Vs Men / Apples Vs Wine

(This is for all my female friends out there and……...for the male friends who have good sense of humor...this is funny but true…)

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because .........they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy............ The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and ....... it's up to women to stomp the hell out of them until they turn ....... into something acceptable to have dinner with.

A lovely lesson for life!

A student asks a teacher: What is love?

The teacher said: in order to answer your question,
go to the paddy field and choose the biggest paddy and come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.

The student went to the field, go thru first row,he saw one big paddy,but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later.Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy field, he start to realize that the paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, this is love... you keep looking for a better one,but when later you realize, you have already miss the person.

The student asked: What is marriage then?

The teacher said: In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back.
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick .
The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field,he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfied, and came back to the teacher.
The teacher told him, this time you bring back a corn.... you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get.... this is marriage.

Nothing's Wasted....



Nothing’s wasted but nothing’s gained
Memories still fill up my mind
Regardless of the deleted files
All that I had are still deep inside
But you I never had, would never be mine
If it was a curse that bound me
I wish I would always be cursed
For I don’t want to loose
The warmth I felt for the first time
Nothing has changed but the air I breathe
And the memories lightening through my heart . . .

A Thought From Buddhist Wisdom

Don't seek happiness through the pain of others,
For this is a trap from which you cannot escape .


Be wise
Learn what is real and what is not,
What is necessary and what is not,
Set your sights high and work
Steadfastly towards your goal.


There is no fire like passion.
There is no grasp like hate.
There is no trap like illusion.
There is no flood like craving.



Courtesy is most precious.
Beauty without courtesy is
like a garden without flowers.


Source -"The Dhammapada "- widly regarded as the most accurate of the recorded versions of Buddha's teaching.

In loving memory of.,

As time is ticking by hour
Hours turning in to days……
It is being twelve months
Since you left me…..
But I remember as it today
My memory is still fresh....
I see you coming in the alley way
Carrying your backpack….
Charming smile, sparkling eyes

You were always being good to me
But I never had a chance to thank
For the things you have done......
Didn’t know life would be so cruel
That your time would be up soon

It is not fair….you had to go......
You were my buddy, my brother.
Best thing had happened to me.
Never realized the value….
Until the day you are gone…

Please forgive me for not caring
Never meant to ignore you…
Life can get hectic sometimes
I get carried away with things…
But I know....it is no excuse…

Please don’t get mad at me….
I am still your silly little sister…
Can’t tell you how much I missed
Having you around…it is not the same

I don’t hear you calling anymore
Telling me all the gossips...
If you can hear me just one time
Will tell you how grateful I am
To be your best friend….
I live with the pain…
For letting you go…. Unvalued
For the rest of my life…
Please forgive me….my friend
May you rest in peace……

In Loving memory of Steve McDonald who left this world in a motor accident on his 27th B’day 01.02.05.
