Life : A Speech by Bryan Dyson

If you need any words of encouragement. Here’s a speech I recently came across that resonates with me on what “balance” really means in life. Hope it does for your as well…
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.
You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
How?
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find time. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

PERFECT sATURDAY!!

I started my day with feeling to laze around the weekend, going to shopping and parlor was just a zing added to it. But suddenly M calls me up to escort her to the doc, without even taking bath on that sultry afternoon we headed towards the hospital with M cribbing whole way through as she had just returned from U.S last night. Every thing in India seemed to be bad to her, then we went for lunch with S. He ordered his usual briyani where he tells me that his friend is getting married and he wants 2 more witnesses for the court marriage. Then I asked SF to become one of the witnesses and as expected she agreed to it along with B. S friend’s came to pick us up, bride was German and the guy Indian, we went home to pick SF & B they took time and swaiting down I was cursing them. We had to go to some remote place beyond Marathalli and we had 30 mind some how we managed there in one piece at the right time and with the right no. of ppl only to realize that there is one doc missing which they hadn’t told him earlier… W was swearing left right and centre and C was very calm and composed with a cute smile on her face. In between I realized that SF has got label tagged on her top, I told her and she got so embarrassed and asked S to tear it off. Her behavior made me feel weird and amused at the same time. On our way back SF & B were dying of hunger, it was 4:30 that made SF all the more hungry, we cracked jokes and had a good laugh while coming and both became good friends with S. while coming back we stopped at a shop to pick up their wedding rings, the shop keeper ripped them off. He charged fucking 12k for re-sizing the two rings and it seems he has exchanged the ring, the couple was really sad feeling that the rings have lost its worth, but W ended it up saying it’s okay baby I am never gonna sell it off. The finally all hungry and tired we all went to Mojo’s where finally had nice food to it. From there we bid good bye to the couple and then was heading towards A&S. SF & B forced S to come along, I was very amused the way they wanted him to come and finally it was him who took the limelightJ………….

And to top it all when I reached home one of my enemy called me to ask me whether I want to come out for coffee with him……….

What a perfect day!!!!

Feel Good Factor

Long time no Post!! yeah it's been long. Well I don't have much these days to share with you people. Time is really flying and life seems to enjoy this roller coaster ride with new friends, new job and all together a new lifestyle. But from now I will be a regular writer here. For a change I have decided to jot down what ever interesting i read throughout the day and would love to share with you. Read this to get the flavor-

"The cat could very well be man's best friend but would never stoop to admitting it."

"The world is round; it has no point."

"Having a holiday weekend without a family member felt like putting on a sweater that had an extra arm."
What say......?
Ponder over these for the day will see you soon...

Life in a Metro

Dil khudgarz hai
fisla hai yeh fir haath se.
Kal uska raha
abh hai tera ish raat se.

O meri jaan.....

Tu aa gaya yun nazar mei,
jaise subah dopahar mei
Madhoshi yun hi nahi dil pe chaahi,
neeyat ne li angadaai
chua tune kuch ish tarah badli fiza badla sama

Omeri jaan.....

Nadaan samjhe naa yeh dil mera
Jaanu na jaanu na ishko kya hua
Teri baho ki fir se dhoondhe yeh panaah
Tu hai kahaan
O meri jaan........

Such a Trash

It's been long that I have written my last blog. Actually was busy with too much things happening around. Well I think I am lying if I am saying that, rather I never bothered to take out time for writing the blog from my not too much busy schedule.
What was I doing for past couple (more than) of weeks. Nothing actually.......
Everyday come to my office, opening my gmail sanguinely expecting my offer letter. Getting disappointment of it not nesting there, consoling myself that the process takes time. With a silly thought that what if it never comes, I start my each day. Then think a bit what am I suppose to complete by the end of the day and after that forget about it the whole day. First thing that puts a smile on face is "gud morning" from a mallu friend of mine. Without failing he does that. Then we discuss what had happened from last nite till this morning. Misery loves misery! then we discuss where to go for lunch, thinking about this chaman dude friend of ours who has problem in going in whatever we decide. But we love to discuss about him and by default every discussion ends with, "ask chaman he wont come". Then we all get back to our perfunctory activities till 1. Heading off for lunch and come back thinking few more hours and then another end of the day.
Girl next to me generally out of office. I wonder what she does, essentially she hardly works or rather she doesn't like to be pretentious. Looking busy doing nothing kinds. But man she come after 11 and by 4 she packs her bag and bids me good bye for the day. Well I am no better these days I also leave by 5:30 giving myself an excuse that I have to go for my yoga classes. Which i go and intentionally miss in the morning to catch up for that half an hr more of my morning sleep saying myself that will go in the evening. Then coming home call everyone one by one. Everyday thinking of finishing off this Jhumpa Lehri novel of mine which is dying to get out of my bag and praying to rest in peace for ages. But then one call and other, friends dropping in. I love them coming home but then at the same time I crib I don't get time for my self. If they don't come I wish them to drop in. Irony of life.
My room is at sixes and sevens. Just want to clear up the mess in life. Not happening!!! I will do it today for sure (std line coming out of my mouth every day). But today I will, missing the party at Taj Residency:(.
Well to be honest I started this blog to write something else but this muddle headed state is in a mess and now I am ending up with this trash. I need a break it seems, all you people just gimme a break I need it badly.....................................

Main

Dil mein aag hai chunna hai aasmaano ko
Ajnabee shahar mei apnana hai begaano ko
Anjaani raahon pe chalte hi jaana hai
Yeha hosla hai mera manzil ko paana hai
Jamaana jaan jaayega
Mujhe pehchaan jaayega.
