Life

Some tough battles have to be fought alone
some paths have to be crossed alone
so never be emotionally attached to anyone
you never know when you have to walk alone

Personal Development - Gems of Wisdom

We live in a world of digital time, we need to rush just to get through our hectic days. We celebrate and can't wait for the week to end, thanking God it's Friday (TGIF!), we quickly react rather than reflect. We skim across the surface and pretend that we can listen while simultaneously answering our text messages.We have brief moments (at dozens of destinations), but we rarely remain in one place long enough to get to know people. We race through our lives without pausing to consider who we really want to be, or where we really want to go.We are wired up with cellphones and the latest gadgets but yet we are melting down. Most of us are trying to do our best, but our best is never enough. There is always a strong demand that exceeds our capacity.We try to survive on too little sleep thinking that this is the way of life. Sleep seemingly gets in the way, we wolf down fast food and fuel up with coffee and many of us cool ourselves down with alcohol and sleeping pills afterwards.Faced with so many challenges and demands at work, we become short-tempered and easily distracted.We return home from long hours of work feeling exhausted and we often experience our family not as a source of joy, but as another demand in an already over burdened life. Is this the life we want? Please take a moment to ponder!"Energy, not time is the fundamental currency of high performance"Performance, health and happiness are grounded in the skillful management of our energy.

Dost

Hasna hamara kisiko gawara nahi hota

Har musafir zindagi ka sahara nahi hota

Milte hain bahot log iss tanha zindagi mein

par koi dost aapsa pyara nahi hota

Dard

Tanhai ne hame dard ke siva kuch naa diya
Yaadon ne har dard ko mohabbatse bhar diya
Tanhai ke har zakhmo ko ab haskar seh lete hai
Yaadon ke marham se har ghav ko bhar lete hai

Waqt

Woh Yaaron Ki Mehfil, Woh Muskrate Pal,
Dil se Juda hain, apna beeta hua kal,
kabhi zindagi guzarti thi hasne hasaane mein,
Aaj waqt guzarta hai, kagaz Ke Note Kamane mein!!!!!!!

Zindagi

Ek din zindagi aise mukam par pahuch jayegi

dosti tho sirf yaadon mein reh jayegi....

har cup coffeeki, yaad doston ki dilayegi....

aur haste haste phir aankhein nam ho jayegi,

office ke chamber mein classroom nazar aayegi....

par chahne par bhi proxy nahi lag payegi,

paisa tho bahut hogo...magar unhe lutane ki wajah kho jayegi.

jee lo khulke iss pal ko mere dost...kyunki zindagi ye pal ko, phir se nahi dohrayegi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jaane waale chale jaate hain, Yaadein bhi khaak ho jaati hai

Bas Kuch palon ki baatein hain, phir tho parchai bhi saath chhod jaati hai

Agar zindagi mein judaai na hoti,

tho kabhi tumhaari yaad aai na hoti,

saath hi guzarta har lamha tho shaayad,

hamaare rishte mein yeh gehraai na hoti

Tanhai si thi jab bheed mein,
socha koi apna nahin taqdeer mein,
ek din achanak hi aap Dost ban gaye,
Tho aisa laga kuch khas tha hathon ki lakeer mein

To make MONEY, we lose our HEALTH; then
To restore our HEALTH, we lose our MONEY
We LIVE as if we are never going to DIE and
We DIE as if we never LIVED

Silence & Smile

Silence and smile are two powerful tools
smile is the way to solve many problems
silence is the way to avoid many problems
Have a silent smile always

The tree does not withdraw its shade from the woodcutter;

so forgive the one who hurt you

they will realize your worth some day!!!

Guess whats most amazing about a human beings tongue; It takes 3 years to learn how to use it; but a life time to learn where, when and how to use it.

Hasa kar kisi din rula mat dena
khaas bana kar, khabhi gair mat bana dena
Maana ki roz hum aapse milte nahin
Isi baat ka bahaana bana kar
kisi din bhula mat dena

Be very careful what you set your HEART upon,
for you will surely HAVE it!

Experience & Decision

Good Decisions comes from Experience
But Experience comes from Bad Decisions

Desire & Deserve

Always ask GOD to give you what you DESERVE, not what you DESIRE
Because your DESIRES may be few; but you may DESERVE a lot :-)

YOU

Forgetting you is a crime

Ignoring you is a sin

Remembering you is a pleasure

Thinking about you is a habit

Attitude

Attitude is what life is about ..........
Soldier: "Sir, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides";
Major: "Excellent, we can attack in any direction"

Aapki Yaad

Na Jaane kyon abhi aapki yaad aa gayi
Bin Mausam ke hi barsaat aa gayi
Maine chukar dekha jo boond ko tho,
Har boond mein aapki tasvir nazar aa gayi

HELP

Dont be disappointed if the world refuses to help you out ......
Remember words of Einstein; "I am thankful to all those who said NO, its because of them,
I did it myself"

In Life dont trust people who change their FEELINGS with TIME, instead

Trust those people, whose FEELINGS remain the same, even when the TIME changes

Man - Woman & Silence

Its funny that a man's silence can break a woman's heart into 1000 pieces, while

a woman's silence can give a man, 1000 moments of peace

Log pyar ko Khuda kehte hain
par koi karein, tho gunah kehte hain
kahavat hai ki; pathar dil roya nahi karte, tho phir
pahado se hi kyon jharna baha karte hain

Mohabbat

Kash hamari bhi parwah kisine ki hoti,
Tho aaj ye duniya humse ruswa na hoti,
Aata aapsa muskarane humein bhi,
Tho humse bhi mohabbat kisine ki hoti

Zindagi

Zindagi Udas hone ka naam nahin,
Dosti sirf paas hone ka naam nahin,
Agar aap door rehkar bhi humein yaad karein,
isse badkar hamare liye koi inaam nahin

Watch & Time

In the primitive society, nobody had a WATCH but everyone had TIME
But in the present society, nobody has TIME, but everyone has a WATCH

Trust

Trust should be like the feeling that a one year old baby has;
when you throw her up in the air, she laughs,
because she knows you'll catch her back :-)

Friendship

Friendship is like water.... No Colour, No shape, No Place, No Taste, but still Essential for living

WRITTEN BY AN INDIAN SOFTWARE ENGINEER..

As the dream of most parents I had acquired a degree in Software Engineering and joined a company based in USA, the land of braves and opportunity. When I arrived in the USA, it was as if a dream had come true. Here at last I was in the place where I want to be. I decided I would be staying in this country for about Five years in which time I would have earned enough money to settle down in India. My father was a government employee and after his retirem ent, the only asset he could acquire was a decent one bedroom flat. I wanted to do some thing more than him. I started feeling homesick and lonely as the time passed. I used to call home and speak to my parents every week using cheap international phone cards. Two years passed, two years of Burgers at McDonald's and pizzas and discos and 2 years watching the foreign exchange rate getting happy whenever the Rupee value went down. Finally I decided to get married. Told my parents that I have only 10 days of holidays and everything must be done within these 10 days. I got my ticket booked in the cheapest flight. Was jubilant and was actua lly enjoying hopping for gifts for all my friends back home. If I miss anyone then there will be talks. After reaching home I spent home one week going through all the photographs of girls and as the time was getting shorter I was forced to select one candidate.. In-laws told me, to my surprise, that I would have to get married in 2-3 days, as I will not get anymore holidays. After the marriage, it was time to return to USA, after giving some money to my parents and telling the neighbors to look after them, we returned to USA. My wife enjoyed this country for about two months and then she started feeling lonely. The frequency of calling Indiaincreased to twice in a week sometimes 3 times a week. Our savings started diminishing. After two more years we started to have kids. Two lovely kids, a boy and a girl, were gifted to us by the almighty. Every time I spoke to my parents, they asked me to come to Indiaso that they can see their grand-children. Every year I decide to go to Indiaâ?¦ But part work part monetary conditions prevented it. Years went by and visiting Indiawas a distant dream. Then suddenly one day I got a message that my parents were seriously sick. I tried but I couldn't get any holidays and thus could not go to India ... The next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there was no one to do the last rights the society members had done whatever they could. I was depressed. My parents had passed away without seeing their grand children. After couple more years passed away, much to my children's dislike and my wife's joy we returned to Indiato settle down. I started to look for a suitable property, but to my dismay my savings were short and the property prices had gone up during all these years. I had to return to the USA.... My wife refused to come back with me and my children refused to stay in India... My 2 children and I returned to USAafter promising my wife I would be back for good after two years. Time passed by, my daughter decided to get married to an American and my son was happy living in USA ... I decided that had enough and wound-up every thing and returned to India ... I had just enough money to buy a decent 02 bedroom flat in a well-developed locality. Now I am 60 years old and the only time I go out of the flat is for the routine visit to the nearby temple. My faithful wife has also left me and gone to the holy abode. Sometimes I wondered was it worth all this? My father, even after staying in India, Had a house to his name and I too have the same nothing more. I lost my parents and children for just ONE EXTRA BEDROOM. Looking out from the window I see a lot of children dancing. This damned cable TV has spoiled our new generation and these children are losing their values and culture because of it. I get occasional cards from my children asking I am alright. Well at least they remember me. Now perhaps after I die it will be the neighbors again who will be performing my last rights, God Bless them. But the question still remains 'was all this worth it?' I am still searching for an answer.................!!! START THINKING IS IT JUST FOR ONE EXTRA BEDROOM??? LIFE IS BEYOND THIS ...DON'T JUST LEAVE YOUR LIFE .... START LIVING IT ..ENJOY MAXIMUM.....

Waqt Nahi

Har khushi Hai Logon Ke Daman Mein, Par Ek Hansi Ke Liye Waqt Nahi.
Din Raat Daudti Duniya Mein, Zindagi Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.
Maa Ki Loree Ka Ehsaas To Hai, Par Maa Ko Maa Kehne Ka Waqt Nahi.
Saare Rishton Ko To Hum Maar Chuke,Ab Unhe Dafnane Ka Bhi Waqt Nahi.
Saare Naam Mobile Mein Hain, Par Dosti Ke Lye Waqt Nahi.
Gairon Ki Kya Baat Karen,Jab Apno Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.
Aankhon Me Hai Neend Badee, Par Sone Ka Waqt Nahi.
Dil Hai Ghamon Se Bhara Hua, Par Rone Ka Bhi Waqt Nahi.
Paison ki Daud Me Aise Daude,Ki Thakne ka Bhi Waqt Nahi.
Paraye Ehsason Ki Kya Kadr Karein,Jab Apane Sapno Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.
Tu Hi Bata E Zindagi,Iss Zindagi Ka Kya Hoga,
Ki Har Pal Marne Walon Ko,Jeene Ke Liye Bhi Waqt Nahi.........

How Far You Go In Life

How far you go in life depends on;
your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the struggling and
tolerant of the weak and the strong
because, someday you will have been all of these.

Burden of Life

God will not give you a burden you can't handle.
If you ever find yourself in a mess which seems impossible to resolve...Take it as a compliment.
God thinks you can do it!!!

Make a difference for others

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.
They are the ones who care for you. Only those who care, make a difference.
To make a difference to others, care for them.

I Cried Over You

I saw your face today, In the face of a stranger
But when I looked again, You were not there anymore
I heard your voice today, In the middle of a crowd
I turned around to listen, But did not hear a sound
I felt your touch today, In the blowing wind
I clung to that moment, Held it to its end
I cried over you today, Drowned in my own sorrow
Then I came to realize, There is always a tomorrow

Time is like a river
You cannot touch the same water twice
Because the flow that has passed will never pass again
Enjoy every moment of life

When you keep saying you are busy
Then you are never free
When you keep saying you have no time,
Then you will never have time
When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow,
Then your tomorrow will never come

Never explain yourself to anyone
Because the person who likes you doesn’t need it and
The person who dislikes you wont believe it

Relationship

Don’t Let someone become a priority in your life
when you are just an option in their life
Relationships works best, when they are balanced

Don't make promise when you are in JOY .
Don't reply when you are SAD.
Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY.
Think twice, Act wise. BE happy

It's better to loose your Ego to the one you Love, than
to loose the one you LOVE because of EGO.
JOHN KEATS

Love your job but don't love your Company because
you may not know when your company stops loving you.
Narayan moorthy.

Without your involvement you can't succeed.
With your involvement you can't fail.
Dr. ABDUL KALAM

Write your Sad times in Sand, Write your Good times in Stone.
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

A man is lucky if he is the first love of a Woman.
A woman is lucky if she is the last love of a man.
CHARLES DICKENS

Don't compare yourself with anyone in this world.
If you do so, you are insulting yourself
ALEN STRIKE

You are not responsible for what people think about you.
But you are responsible for what you give them to think about you.
STANLEY FERRARD

When you really want something, the whole universe conspires to get you the same

Before you think of saying an unkind word, Think of someone who can't speak

Before you complain about the taste of your food, Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife, Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion

Today before you complain about life, Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Before you complain about your children, Think of someone who desires children but they're barren

Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep Think of the people who are living in the streets

Before whining about the distance you drive, Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet

And when you are tired and complain about your job, Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another, Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down, Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around

Decision & Commitment

A decision is made with the brain.
A commitment is made with the heart.
Therefore, a commitment is much deeper and more binding than a decision

You can close your eyes to things you dont want to see.
But u cant close your heart to things you dont want to feel

Love Hurts ???

If love hurts then love some more,

If love hurts some more then love even more,

If love hurts even more then love till it hurts no more!!!

Love Hurts !!!!

If love hurts then love some more,

If love hurts some more then love even more,

If love hurts even more then love till it hurts no more!!!

Ability, Motivation & Attitude

Ability is what you're capable of doing.
Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it.

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed,
you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move.

It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried it before;
it's important to realize that whatever you're doing, it's your first attempt at it.

A life’s worth, in the end, isn’t measured in hours, or dollars.
It’s measured by the amount of love exchanged along the way.

If practice makes perfect and no one is perfect, why practice?

Mistakes

Assert your right to make a few mistakes.
If people can’t accept your imperfection, that’s their fault

No Market for Sorrows

There is no market for your sorrows; so never advertise your feelings.

I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle.

I just wish He didn’t trust me so much

True Friend

Making a million friends is not a miracle;
the miracle is to make a friend who will stand by you when millions are against you

Respect the old, When you are young,
help the weak, when you are strong,
confess the fault when you are wrong,
because one day in life, you will be old, weak & wrong

True love does not come by finding the perfect person,
but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly

If at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished.
If at first you don’t succeed, swallow all the evidence that you tried

I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they do their lives. Probably that’s because, escape is easier than change

jaane waale chale jaate hain ......
yaadein bhi khaak ho jaati hain.....
bas kuchh palon ki baatein hain.....
phir to parchhai bhi saath chhod jaati hai...

yaado main kabhi aap bhi khoye honge
khuli aankho se kabhi aap bhi soye honge
maana hasna hai aadat ghum chupaane ki
par haste haste kabhi aap bhi roye honge

Teri Qurbat mili ..magar tera Sahara na Milaa..
Kareeb pahunch kar bhi Sahil ka Kinara na Mila..
Dekhta Raha Gaur se main hatheli apniii
Magar Mujhay apni Kismat ka Sitara na Mila...

Duaon ki bheed mein ek dua hai hamari

jis mein maangi hai, humne har khushi tumhari

jab bhi aap muskuraaye dil se

samjenge dua kabool hui hamari

Zaroori toh nahi, ke jeene ke liye koi sahara ho,
zaroori toh nahi, ke hum jis ke hai woh bhi hamara ho,
kuch kashtiyaa dhoob jaaya karti hai,
zaroori toh nahi, ke har kashti ke liye kinara ho

kushi mili hass na sake

gum mila, ro na sake

zindagi ka yeh dastoor hai,

jise chaha, usse paa na sake,

aur jise paya, usse chah na sake

aapki iss dillagi mein hum apna dil kho baithe

kal tak uss khuda ke the, aaj aapke ho baithe

pyaar suna tha, ki diwaana kar deta hai,

aaj khud karke hum bhi, hosh kho baithe

Thame hue paani mein bhi ab jaane se dar lagta hai

khule aasman mein bhi ab jaane se dar lagta hai

kabhi sunathe the, yaaron ko hum bhi kisse mohabbat ke

ab to ishq ke dhai akshar gungunane se dar lagta hai
