    solitude

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
    Weep, and you weep alone;
    For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
    But has trouble enough of its own.
    Sing, and the hills will answer;
    Sigh, it is lost on the air;
    The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
    But shrink from voicing care.
    Rejoice, and men will seek you;
    Grieve, and they turn and go;
    They want full measure of all your pleasure,
    But they do not need your woe.
    Be glad, and your friends are many;
    Be sad, and you lose them all-
    There are none to decline your nectared wine,
    But alone you must drink life's gall.
    Feast, and your halls are crowded;
    Fast, and the world goes by.
    Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
    But no man can help you die.
    There is room in the halls of pleasure
    For a large and lordly train,
    But one by one we must all file on
    Through the narrow aisles of pain.

    How Did You Die?

    Did you tackle that trouble that came your way
    With a resolute heart and cheerful?
    Or hide your face from the light of day
    With a craven soul and fearful?
    Oh, a trouble's a ton, or a trouble's an ounce,
    Or a trouble is what you make it,
    And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,
    But only how did you take it?

    You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that!
    Come up with a smiling face.
    It's nothing against you to fall down flat,
    But to lie there--that's disgrace.
    The harder you're thrown, why the higher you bounce
    Be proud of your blackened eye!
    It isn't the fact that you're licked that counts;
    It's how did you fight--and why?

    And though you be done to the death, what then?
    If you battled the best you could,
    If you played your part in the world of men,
    Why, the Critic will call it good.
    Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce,
    And whether he's slow or spry,
    It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts,
    But only how did you die?

    choice vs Options

    Each Day Startes with our own choices,Shall I wake or stay in Bed...Shower or sleep lil more and have one at office...Coffee or Milk...Breakfast or not...Ciggy or not...All choices are up to us.

     

    We Make the Choice to to woRk...To Earn our Daily Bread...We Choose To Do Our Very Best...We make a choice to go to work, Or just slide by instead.

    Our sense of self comes into play When we choose to wed;
    We make a choice to follow our hearts, Or follow what others have said.

    And when we find our lives are wrong, Each day is faced with dread;
    We choose to stay or choose to go Where angels fear to tread.

    Our lives might end up nothing more Than trying to get ahead;
    Till sometime hence we realize How fast the years have sped.

    The path we take from day to day Can either be followed or led;
    Our lives are lines of choices made, From birth until we're dead

     
    But did you ever tried to stop your self and wonder "IS ALL THT WORTHWILE" i mean we do things cauz we have to do them we never really try to enjoy them so are those things real choices... I dont feel so the fact is tht we dont have a choice we have options...OPTIONS is the word

    me and I

    Me and I are 2 people who often were using to talk to each others..


    Walking all alone, In the strait of life, Me and I are Looking at each others
    And looking for a soul...
    To walk beside me, And catch when I fall,To hold I in the arms, When Me feel so low and dry...But all Me and I found, Is no one close,Walking along with me,Walking side by side... All of a sudden, Me eyes met something,As black as it was,And  it was following I...I tried to run, It ran with me, I tried to hide, It hid with me...Then realized what it was,it was Me own shadow,Walking along with I,All found on that day was,I am my own friend in this lonely life...I supported myself,When my legs gave up,I cheered myself,When i felt a little low...But yet my mind,Desires something,Which I may never get,Which i may never feel...The motherly love,From anyone dear,But walking alone,Me and I can expect none...

     

    Thats how me and I became good friends and decided to never leave each others cauz me will die without i and i have nobody else then me

     

    Sometimes you feel like you got everything but you never wonder that it take a minute to lose everything  and years to get everything back at the end of the day thats how you break down and make me and i best buddy.. I wont wish to anybody to have me and i as best buddy cauz both of them hurt alot...

     
    PS:

    Destiny is what you beleive in,Destiny is what you make off,
    Be the creator of your destiny,For all have the force within....

    new baby born buried

    A new-born baby girl was buried alive by her mother to avoid social ostracism perhaps. The baby girl was dug out by the street dogs. They also licked mud off her face although it had gone in her mouth and her nostrils. For the whole night they kept barking, surrounding the baby and facing the village. Villagers – being human – were scared to go in the fields in the dark and checkout why the dogs were creating such a din.

    It was only in the morning when someone went to the fields to answer the nature’s call (in most villages people still go to the fields to answer the nature’s call) that it was observed that there was a mud-covered baby amidst the barking group of dogs. The dogs went away when the villagers assembled there.

    Although in the link above they say the villagers removed the mud from the baby’s mouth, in our Hindi newspaper they wrote that the villagers were so scared that they didn’t go near the baby. They called the police instead. The two constables came and picked the child from there and then cleaned her.

    The girl was later adopted by a mother of 3 and was aptly named Bhumika as she appeared from the bhumi — the earth.

    It was overwhelming to read the news because it was totally the other way round – the baby’s own mother buried her to kill her, and the street dogs – you might as well call them the beasts (I’m not using “beasts” in the wrong sense) – saved her. Then again, while they protected her the whole night and kept barking in the direction of the village in order to summon the villagers there, the meek villagers took their own time and even when they came there, they could muster enough courage to go near the baby. What an irony.

    the fundas of life

    Life is an enigma. All your life you run from pillar to post. Your try to secure your future  Then you die. You die either after arranging everything for the next generation, or you die an “untimely” death. I wonder what’s the purpose of all this.

    Sometimes I’m really put off by the overwhelming nihility of life. Right from the single-cell ameba to the human beings, life is paramount – we have to survive no matter what; for us, for our posterity. What are we achieving in all this?

    We become painters, writers, actors, scientists, musicians, mathematicians, politicians and god knows what and then feel great and after having felt great and all we die smug in the thought that the future generations will remember us. Big deal! We justify all this by saying that we’re constantly making this world a better place for us and for the others. I don’t disagree. But I’m not talking about the betterment of the human kind or all the species of this planet. I’m talking about something else. I’m talking about the existential logic.

    What exactly are we doing here? Are we a part of some gargantuan cosmic assembly line? “Who” is a very human expression, what we should think about is, what are we? What the hell is it all about? Because otherwise it doesn’t make sense. There are planets that go round the sun, and the sun spews out all sorts of gases and it gives us heat so that we can survive as if it has been put up there just for our benefit. There are billions and billions of stars – Carl Sagan’s expression, not mine – and there are infinite galaxies. There are comets and there are asteroids and there are galactic clouds. There are dimensions we know and there might be dimensions we are not aware of. Life may exist as a totally different concept in another part of the galaxy, or for that matter even in some neighboring solar system. Time may hold different meanings in different constellations – they say time doesn’t exist in the black holes.

    So you see, there are such big things, and there are such small things as the husband of my maid beating her up and feeling all powerful. What’s macro and what’s micro, we don’t know.

    Unless we know the primordial truth, the reason of our existence, living and dying seems quite silly. The universe seems silly. The planets and the stars and the seas and the clouds and the forests and the mountains and animals seem silly. Osama seems silly. What’s this hoopla about if we are all going to die in the end?

     

    The real woman of substance

    I am at office working tonite and just took a break and somebody came in my mind..My maid in India Tara man she was fun iw as using to have gr8 laughes with her anyway so I concluded that she is the real woman of substance — despite the fact that she secretly takes away 4 almonds everyday and despite the fact that she is highly irritating if allowed to do her own thing.

    Now, she is totally illiterate, she has a good-for-nothing abusive husband, and she has 3 kids. Perhaps she and her eldest daughter — both work as house maids — are the only earning members. She is continuously trying to improve the lot of her kids.

    I remmember her learning the elementary tables and talking about it with her she told me she’s learning to read and write. She constantly plans to get her children either decent education or some good career-oriented vocational training. She works 15-hours a day in two houses without resting and still she is always laughing. She never grudges her work and does everything cheerfully. This is I think her strength. In the conventional sense she’s got nothing to feel cheerful about. Her husband beats her up on a weekly basis, he doesn’t work, one of her children is perpetually sick and she herself often doesn’t feel quite well. Her attitude is her strength that keeps her going. She not only takes care of her children, she also tries to improve herself by gradually studying, in small proportions.

    I wonder if women like her — and there are thousands like her in India, even millions — can ever feature in the glossy magazines that are specifically published for “the women of substance”. These magazines can publish pages on self-obsessed bimbos but can never in their wildest dreams imagine featuring people like Tara on their pages. Their basic definition of women of substance is that they should know what dress to wear on what occasion, how to put that lipstick without smearing the already stained teeth, how to patao that guy in the party and how to get the maximum out of their g-spots.

    If they really want to experience the real substance, they should feature women like Tara in their magazines.


    inside me the world

    Inside me lies a lil angel

    with a broken heart
    who thinks everything in life sucks
    all because her world was torn apart

    She feels she has nothing left to gain
    and everything to fear
    at night she sits and cries
    just one too many tears

    She doesn't really understand
    Why it happened
    but all she really wants to understand is
    when its gonna be over


    She never really knew how easily
    things could just slip away
    and the more she tried to forget about things
    made it hurt more each and everyday

    She can't seem to move on
    no matter how hard she tries
    every night she thinks about life
    her heart screams and cries

    It's hard to open my eyes and write this poem
    knowing that little angel is me
    i wish i could close my eyes
    and never again see what i see

    To live life in one color For your entire life This, your heart's desire, isn't right
    To live life in one color For your entire life This, your heart's desire, isn't right

    To live life in one color For your entire life This, your heart's desire, isn't right
    Sadness and happiness are two paths To walk on one path, isn't right

    Season changes, happiness comes, sadness goes
    Season changes, happiness comes, sadness goes 

    To live life in one color For your entire life This, your heart's desire, isn't right
    To live life in one color For your entire life This, your heart's desire, isn't right

    Sadness and happiness are two paths To walk on one path, isn't right
    Sadness and happiness are two paths To walk on one path, isn't right

    Season changes, happiness comes, sadness goes
    Season changes, happiness comes, sadness goes

    Happiness comes, Sadness goes Season changes
    Happiness comes, Sadness goes Season changes

    this is all about life

    This is a very simple poem.....read it with feelings and u shall know!


    Its all about life
    which is fair to some
    unfair to some

    it simply goes on
    about its own way
    teaches u to carry on
    no matter what comes in your way.

    Its all about life
    which waits for none
    cares for none

    you have to live it
    whether you like it or not
    even if you are with it
    even if you are not (i mean life after death).

    Its all about life
    which goes on for none
    which ends up for none

    takes away your dear ones
    and never returns them to you
    but gives you power in tonnes
    to fight with might too.

    throughout our survival
    we fight a battle with life
    but amongst the two rivals
    its death who wins over us & our life

    why

    Why does life become a complete hell
    Right after it just begins to shine?
    Why do I have that feeling...
    Why do I torture myself with memories
    When I know they are just simple gestures and conversations?
    Why do I let myself become extremely happy for nothing
    Why do I tell myself over and over again that things will b better
    Even though seems like nothing will ever change...
    Why do I constantly try to keep that smile
    Even though my feelings are lost ...
    Why does life make me break into tears
    When things are the main call of my cries?
    Why is it that just a happy yesterday,
    I felt I had finally won over life
    But today, everything seems to be the same

    Why things are like that Why arent they better...

    Even though that is going to happen only when pigs fly?
    Just yesterday I thought maybe I had finally succeeded
    But now today, I see that was just a mirage.
    Why do I let myself dream?
    Why?

    dont quit

    not mine but i liked it so wanted to share it
     
    When things go wrong as they sometimes will
    When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
    When the funds are low, and the debts are high
    And you want to smile, but have to sigh
    When care is pressing you down a bit
    Rest if you must, but do not quit

    Success is failure turned inside out
    The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
    And you can never tell how close you are
    It may be near when it seems so far
    So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
    It's when things go wrong that you must not quit
