"Nothing is going to happen that you can't handle."

Save Tiger

My fate will not change in the hands of charlatans.

C-Picasa

"...There is a wheel on which the affairs of men revolve, and its mechanism is such that it prevents any man from being always fortunate."

Therefore, keep on trying till your aim is accomplished, but remember, the path to goal is the most beautiful time you may have enjoyed than accomplishing it.

Don't write me off. I will bounce back with positive energy as I do always.

Special Moments

C-Picasa
Have a great day.

Special moments come

When we least expect them,

Opening our hearts and minds

To the infinite possibilities of life.

We all have special moments

Scattered like jewels

Through our lives.

Treasure them and set them

In the golden ring of memory,

So they are yours forever.

Save Tiger

Be unperturbed even when not appreciated by others.

Good actions

Have a great day.

All troubles arise from fear and worry. Books, which are words and the voice of peace, can help to overcome the twin thorns in your path to success.

Every action is the reflection of your thoughts, from good thoughts will follow good deeds.

Each person must have good thoughts, good actions and good deeds. When you practice all three you can lead a happy life.

Welfare

C-Picasa

Have a great day.

Kindly souls and intellectuals are essential for the welfare of the society.

Education provides knowledge and devotion cultivates wisdom. Together they offer peace of mind.

Chanting praises and sharing knowledge enlightens the surroundings as well as the people present. But transformation is more important than information.

Many criticisms, abuses and accusations can disturb the mind; only fearlessness, stubbornness and honesty can keep the mind unaffected.

Have a great day.

Contentment with one's income and achievement is the only way to peace of mind.

Simplicity in our lives will bring forth fulfillment and peace of mind.

Only through service to society can one adequately repay their indebtedness for being born in this world.

Cleanse your mind with knowledge, and your physical self through social service.

Greed leads to disappointment, which in turn leads to anguish.

Wealth and strength without wisdom will lead to destruction.

Unnecessary worries about life's little problems will magnify them.

Happiness

Have a great day.

The sole purpose of hard work is to forget negative things that multiplies during idleness.

Books are anti-dote against depression and worries, caused by some unsullied people in this world.

Do not hoard everything that you have learnt, but make it available to the betterment of the society as a whole.

Pray for world peace and happiness.

Willingness to help others and then actually doing it are possible only for humans.

Contempt

Have a great day.

Your words and deeds must be the expressions of your good heart.

Human beings alone are blessed with the ability to control any situation turning out from violent scenes and dominance of the poor and the weak by the mighty and powers-that-be.

One must take part in development and progressive works to mitigate sufferings of the needy.

Communication with every one is essential for getting rid of nepotism and favouratism; which are byproducts of one-to-one relations and should be looked at with contempt.

Enlightening

Have a great day.

Hard work and honesty will grant us the strength and confidence to achieve all our goals.

Teasing and mimicking others lead to unhappiness, belying the truth that of all the countless beings living in this world, humans alone have the capacity to make themselves as well as others happy.

Human being's actions must be virtuous and pure to lead a happy life.

Knowledge

Rivers may be expounded in several ways,

but they all ultimately meet the sea.

Too much wealth and strength makes a man insensitive towards fellow living beings before being crushed under their weight.

Success measured by wealth alone is shortlived.

Have a great time.

Destiny

Have a great day.

Worms hate me, but my destiny is to hunt them.

Emotion

"Efficiency and energy comes from emotion, not from intellectual knowledge, which can only direct that emotional energy. But the real impulse comes from emotion. It makes you work at your best."

Have a great day.

"You may create lots of splashes in your life,

but the waves that come from those splashes will disturb the

peace of all your fellow creatures."

Taj

I didn't know that you don't like it.

"I know how to please a tiger.

Then please leave me alone."

Have a great day.

Friendship

Have a great day.

“Friendship is not

Just holding hands, but holding

Hands till the very end….

It is not just walking some

Seasons together, it’s

togetherness of a lifetime."

Mother

Mom, open the door please. I will wish you happy mother's day.

C-Picasa

C-Picasa
Have a great day.

“Children are begging.

Women are assaulted.

Physically challenged are dying slow death.

Poor people are getting infected by more diseases in the slums.

Girl child is still being killed.

Corruption is still rising high.

Circumstances are still forcing young girls to sell their bodies.

Their screaming out for help is deafening for ears and aching for the heart.

We can’t sleep peacefully with so much noise around.

We have to replace the ’scream for help’ with the ’screams of joy and happiness’.”

-------an email content.

You will love it.

C-Picasa

Have a great day.

Don’t argue

Know your medium

Think freely to be clear in your thought

Don’t mind what the ignorant says

Don’t feel shy to say, silence please!

Don’t expect any thing

Watch silently

Be an observer than a spectator

Speakers tell a bundle of lies and borrowed facts

Desist from hollow praises

Revitalise energy with actively pursuing your hobbies.

Don’t befriend with gossip-seekers and rumour-mongers

Don’t allow a negative person speak to you

Say no to gossip

Practice patience

Smile often

Savour special moments

Make new friends

Discard worries

Forgive a human being

See beauty everywhere

Spread joy

Don’t fret and fume

Forget bickering

Never lose temper

Decline everything, politely

Stop quarrelling to remain in peace

Watchful !

World Cup

Have a great day.

Beware of tomorrow's high-voltage encounter between India and Pakistan---it's not for chicken hearts!

Journalism

Have a great day.

Think before you write, particularly if you are a journalist, for this profession is full of fools who can easily point out your silly mistakes and then shout from the rooftop that you don't even know your basics.

"I thought you are worthy of confidence," said a journalist to his colleague; little realizing how unworthy he is. Had he been worthy of confidence he would have corrected the mistake instead of making the foolish remark.

Zidane

Have a great day.

I always keep on pushing for friendship and keen to maintain relations; but tragedy with me is, I have always been reactive like football ace Zinedine Zidane.

Zidane's infamous headbutt may have defamed him, but it was a sharp provocation by Marco Materezzi that had led Zidane lose his cool in the 2006 World Cup Football final between France and Italy.

The world saw Zidane's reaction, but did not try to understand why he lost his cool before worldwide audience.

Zidane's reaction vindicated today (March 17, 2011) when Bayern Munich's Bastian Schweinsteiger said he could now understand Zidane's infamous headbutt on Materazzi after the German clashed with the Italian in a Champions League match in Berlin.

The 26-year-old Schweinsteiger claimed that Materazzi had provoked him before and after the match.

I have also been at receiving end several times in my life with people watching my reaction, without realising or trying to realise why I often lose cool-----because of their provocation, ridiculing me or finding faults in me.

Yet, I am sincerely trying to avoid people who love to provoke me and enjoy my reaction. little realising that their joy may lead to my doom one day.

I, however, take these immortal words from the Gita to soak up provocative remarks and gestures---"

Tis brief and mutable! Bear with it. Prince!...Undetered, unassailed, unharmed, untouched, immortal, all-arriving, stable, sure, invisible, ineffable, by word and thought uncompassed...."

Joke

Have a great day.

I thought to share a joke,

but people made me a joker.

I thought to keep my humour intact,

but people made me to cartoon act.

I thought I will be an extrovert,

but people said I brag about.

I thought I will be inclusive in my approach,

but people pulled me to their level to reproach.

I thought to forgive sinners and forget their sins,

but people threw me in a bin.

Then I gave up my efforts after reading somewhere that;

"Never argue or joke with idiots.

"First they bring you to their level and then

"they beat you with their experience."

Corruption Point

Have a great day.

Motivational Guru Robert H. Schuller observes in one of his books, “I still am shocked recalling the time I was in the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. A bellhop pointed out a room that had been totally sprayed with broken glass – everywhere.

I was so depressed. Why? I wondered. It wasn’t my doing. It was no expense to me. I analyzed the depression as an expression of inner shame. But why should I be ashamed when I didn’t do it?

Then the insight came clearly. I was ashamed because I knew this was done by one of my relatives. Yes, it was done by a human being, not by apes or dogs or animals.

And every human being is a distant relative of mine. And by despicable behavior, some fellow human being had just contributed to the lowering of my self-esteem!”

Read his observations once again, but only after substituting 'bellhop' with corruption and 'broken glass' with scams.

What is your feeling now? Is your inner voice reacts?

The most valuable contribution a citizen can make amid a plethora of scams in our country is to feel guilty and hang his head in shame.

When I asked a friend what he thought about corruption he said “I am still hopeful that the powers-that-be can overcome the scam bug. All they have to do is, instead of ordering probe after probe they should have a self-regulatory mechanism that could kill the corruption bug before it kills the society.”

What is more surprising is every political party accuses the other of corruption. Does it point towards 'hum sab chor hein' ?
