Tu Bahut Yaad Aaya.............

Aaj Rootha hua ik dost bahut yaad aaya

Achcha guzra huaa kuch waqt bahut yaad aaya.

Meri aankho ke har ik ashk par rone wala

Aaj jab aankh yeh royi ,tu bahut yaad aaya.

Jo mere dard ko seene main chupa leta tha

Aaj jab dard hua mujh ko tu bahut yaad aaya.

Jo meri aankh main kajal ki tarah rehta tha

Aaj kajal jo lagaya ,tu bahut yaad aaya.

Jo mere dil ke tha qareeb faqat us ko hi

Aaj jab dil ne bulaya ,tu bahut yaad aaya.

Mere jeevan ki har khushi main wohi tha bus

Aaj jab yaad woh aaya ,to bahut yaad aaya.

मुस्कुराते रहो.............

ये दुनीया एक सुख -दुःख की बगीया ,

फूल बनकर इसे महकाते रहो,

तुम बस मुस्कुराते रहो......

हर पल हर लम्हा जींदगी का, कीमती है दोस्तों,

समेटकर बाहों मे इन्हें, मीठी यादैँ बनाते रहो,

कभी लगे जब जींदगी मायुश सी उदास सी,

खोलकर बाहैँ अपनी,ख़ुशी के ये पल लुटाते रहो,

तुम बस मुस्कुराते रहो.............

दील से ढूंदो तो पाओगे हर साज जींदगी मे,

जोड़कर इन साजों को ,गीत ख़ुशी के बनाते रहो,

कभी जब गीरने को हो आंशु आँखों से,

बंद कर आँखें अपनी,ख़ुशी के ये गीत गाते रहो,

तुम बस मुस्कुराते रहो.............

माना की गम तो जींदगी मे आते ही रहेंगे,

ग़मों को लगाकर गले,दोस्त अपना बनाते रहो,

देखना एक दीन जींदगी आकर कहेगी तुमसे,

इसी तरह लोगों को जींदगी जीना सीखाते रहो,

तुम बस मुस्कुराते रहो.............

Mystry in Friendship

Mostly we meet many strangers in our life, sometimes we don’t take them seriously and sometimes they becomes very special to us, and thinks like if we had not met them,what would have been happened to our life.Their existence really matters to us. These special one in our life are our FRIENDS .

Friends may come and go. When they come, it is a pleasure for me. When they go, I believe they leave a sweet memory. Keeping friends is one of the exciting events in one’s life. Being with them is joyous moment. Laughing together, talking about anything under the sun, sharing even the very secrets of life and of course, eating together.

I missed those days when it was still so easy to be where my friends are. We still seemed to have similar interests. Time came when we had to let go of each other. When we lead separate ways and pursue different careers. So, it became so hard to meet and jam.

Nevertheless, I realized that setting time with friends, particularly the old ones, became a sacrifice now. It was a pleasurably sacrifice to meet old friends now. Even if it was hard, we still tried.

Such moment becomes another page in my Friendship Story. Nothing can really compare with the Joy of Friendship. The joy never fades.After walking some distance on a strange path with them they disappears like they hadn’t even existed. But they leave their memory forever.

That’s all mysterious why we met if we were gonna loose them. Strange but true.......

FriendShip

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears.
I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain, nor the future with its untold stories.
I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you cope up with it.

Keep The Faith.....

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.

Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat.But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as cold . Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy . Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

Love is......

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."

Passing thought...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....

Life is beautiful!!! Live it!

Key To Success

1. Ask For What You Want. How does the world know what to give you unless you put it out there? Ask for what you want and need.

2. Be The Person You Want To Be. It's call modeling. If you act like it, people will believe it. Assume the role you want others to see you in. Sell it from the inside out.

3. Believe In Yourself. If you don't, no one will. People will follow; you just need to lead them. Forget worrying; concentrate on making things happen. Action and momentum are infectious.

4. Make A Plan. No one goes anywhere without a destination. Know your destination, and plot your journey. Take whatever pleasures you need on the way, but know that you are moving forward and will arrive at your destination.

5. Nervous Or Excited. Realize that being nervous is the same as being excited. Instead of dreading it, welcome the surge of positive energy. Own it, and use it. It's infectious in a good way!

6. Thinking About Your Failure Brings Your Failure. Concentrate on your success and watch it happen. Your mind will move in whatever direction you point it in. Make sure it's pointed toward where you want to go and not otherwise.

7. Feel Whatever Way You Choose. You control your feelings. You allow yourself to be upset, annoyed or frustrated. Only you control your feelings and no one else. Take back the power you give others and choose to feel strong, clear-minded and in control.

8. Communicate. Listening and being understood are the keys to communication. People want to talk about themselves and they want to hear interesting things about you. No one wants to hear a sermon or hear a rant about your latest victory or great audition. Listen, observe and speak about mutually interesting subjects. Otherwise, you're a bore.

9. Freak Out. Bad audition, interview or meeting? Take ten minutes to beat yourself up. Blame yourself, be annoyed and frustrated. Then,learn your lesson and move on. Now that all your anger is gone, put your energy into the lessons learned and move forward once again.

10. Speak Your Mind, NOW. People swallow their feelings and anger; they postpone what they really want to say, thinking, "I'll just wait till a good time." DON'T! Handle the situation now, before the situation changes. Have a problem? Be a diplomat and talk about it. Handling a minor situation now will prevent it from becoming a festering chasm of misunderstanding and resentment later.

11. Dive In. Dive in and address the problem. Address your feelings and say, "I've got to be honest, I'm a big fan and I'm feeling a little intimidated right now." Everyone wants to deal with someone who's truthful and honest, and not afraid to address their own insecurities.

12. Exploit Yourself. Find out what makes you different and exploit it. Each of you has a quality that makes you unique. Instead of trying to be what others are, exploit your uniqueness.

13. Don't Accept The Unacceptable. Train people to treat you as you want to be treated. Being late is not acceptable, not returning calls is not acceptable and them not doing their job is not acceptable. Don't accept these behaviors from people.

14. Walk A Mile In Someone Else's Shoes. Be someone else. Changing perspective is an amazing tip to see the world from another point of view. You'll be amazed at the new perspective you gain.

15. Say Thank You. Send an email, a card or a simple phone call. Don't underestimate the value of someone feeling appreciated and recognized for their efforts. It leaves a lasting impression when someone thanks you for meeting or helping them.
