Don't let a damaged past define your present and ultimately determine your future...fight and change the scenario...'coz what you were isn't as important as what you are and what you will be.

'There was no light bulb moment.Loving her made sense to me.From the first time we met,we just made sense.She has a sense of humour and a passionate attitude towards life..which is nice to try to keep up with.'

I heard that the mountains have made a deal with the sun for the glaciers
So i wonder why...
...The rivers in my village are running dry

Every night i slip through the sands of time
And escape to the world of dreams
Only to be rudely pushed back into the harsh world of reality the next morning
And i just hate it

A woman shouldn't be with a man just because she needs to...rather she should be with a man because she wants to...and the same goes for men as well.

Love is a language which the deaf can hear
And the dumb can speak
It is a language which can melt the coldest of hearts
And open every closed door of the soul
Unfortunately,presently the world is so obsessed with hatred
That it has forgotten to speak the language of love

When it comes to confectionary art
I simply cannot look beyond a lemon ****
It is a pure piece of absolute delight
As soon as it touches my tongue everything just feels right
The tension in my stomach seems to cease
And my mind feels at peace
Just an explosion of incredible flavours as it spreads all over my tongue
The incredible combination of sweetness and tanginess...
....oh man...it's *******!
I love chocolates
But if i had to pick one thing i could eat before i die...
....it would have to be a lemon ****
For chocolate fulfills my heart
But a lemon **** fulfills every inch of my existence

You are whoever and whatever you want yourself to be
Have faith in life...
....it's tough
....it's challenging
....it's unpredictable

It will always give you chances
Just be ready to grab them
Your life is a gift...

Husband-So,honey where do you want to go for our honeymoon?

Wife-It doesn't matter where we go..take me whichever place you want.Just promise me one thing.

Husband-Anything you say..just tell me.

Wife-Promise me that we'll be spending most of our honeymoon staring at the ceiling.

Husband-You got it!

Terror has no face
It is pure disgrace
Terror has no religion
It is pathetic
It is sick
Those who don't respect humanity
How can they even claim to be humans?
What is wrong with the world?
Every single day you read the papers
You watch the news...
There is nothing save for depressing stories
Someone gets shot 'coz of the colour of his skin
Someone gets molested
Someone gets murdered
Someone is discriminated against just 'coz of his religion
Some country gets bombed
Then that country retaliaties by counter-bombing
Virtually every single country is intent on increasing it's nuclear power....
In some countries democracy has become a joke....
...The right to freedom of speech and expression is merely present in the constitution
All of this just makes me so so very sad
I sometimes so wish that Mars becomes suitable for human inhabitance
They have found traces of water...
...haven't they?
'Coz frankly speaking i'm totally done with Earth

Let your mind wander in the garden of love
Let it constantly think of the Power Above
Let it not mingle with hate and jealousy
Keep it safe from arrogance and falsity
Let it not worry about any sort of fear
Courage is always here
You just need to go a little near
Keep nourishing your mind everyday
So that it keeps moving in a more focused way

If you can have a certain amount of control over your mind
You will have better control over your life
'Coz in the end it's all in the mind

Do this everyday:-
Momentarily blank your mind completely...fear,insecurity,worry,jealousy,....flush out all the negativity.Meditate.Every breath you take in and every breath you leave..make it count.Every moment should mean something to you.Have a positive outlook towards life.Interact with your inner self.Try and channel your thoughts towards a positive direction.Offer a prayer everyday.Get up close with nature.Don't break down at the first sign of a problem...rather take it up as a challenge.

Remember...unless and until your mind is at peace,you will never find peace.It's not an easy task to do this..but you need to make the effort.

I wish i could express myself in front of people
The way i express myself in my diaries
You see these diaries that i keep
They aren't just pieces of paper for me
They're the air i breathe
The song i sing
The fuel that keeps me going
The food for my soul
The memories i gather
The plethora of feelings i assemble
The thoughts i pick out from my galaxy of emotions
A place where i can be myself
A place where i'm not judged by anyone
A place where i find peace

At times it's difficult for me to pen down my emotions
The pain is too much to take
And the worst part is that it refuses to subside
And still i write
Not a day goes by when i don't write something in my diary
It's a vital part of my existence
The beauty about writing in my diary is that there is no restriction
There is no rule or law
I don't have to measure my words
Or be extra careful or cautious
With people it's the other way around
I sometimes feel confused
Various questions travel through my head....
What should i say?
What should i not say?
Would this sound rude?
What if i said this?
How should i say this?
How would that person react?
It's such a challenge!

As i started to grow,i realized that writing was a far greater gift than speaking....and i'm deeply and sincerely thankful to Almighty for having given me a wee bit of the former.

Be it a relationship or marriage..it requires constant work.It's never easy and certainly not a bed of roses..so you can't take nothing for granted.Sometimes even the tiniest of cracks can destroy something good..so you need to be very alert and pro-active.

Whenever I feel like crying my heart out
Whenever I feel like screaming my lungs out
Whenever I feel like I'm burnt by the sun of life
Whenever I feel engulfed by flames of sadness
Whenever I feel depressed and low...
...the room in the corner of my home.. That's where I go...
That room is my refuge during my sad moments
The room has dark coloured walls
The room possesses a couple of dim lights
The room doesn't have anything much save for an old bookshelf which contains memories of my childhood
On the walls of the room are some hanging pictures of my childhood...
Those pictures look at me with affection..
...sometimes with a bit of concern
...perhaps they feel sympathetic towards my lonely heart
The room comforts me and takes me its in arms when I feel like I can't take the agonies of life no more..
The room with its eerie quiteness has a soothing effect on me
The room has a solid wooden door which is sometimes hard to pull open
But once it let's you in...it just takes you over with it's warmth and kindness
Whenever I feel like resting my head on a shoulder
Whenever I want to think clearly
That room always helps me out
The room in the corner of my home means so much to me....

If 'a' is success then a=x+y+z,
Where x is work
..y is play
And z is keeping your mouth shut-Albert Einstein

'Don't come near me..i'm a burning flame..i'll reduce you to ashes' she said.

'Good..then fire can't do me any more damage..'coz i'm already ash.The fire of life has reduced me to ashes years ago' i said.

She looked at me with utter disdain and then kissed me like i had never been kissed before.
And i could feel myself burning again.

I want you to destroy me in whatever manner you want
I just want you to decemate me
Oh wait!..you've already done that
This is probably my inebriated and battered soul talking
It still seems to be in a state of daze
But i don't blame it
After all...the hurt you gave is gonna take some recovering
You see you've demolished every inch of heart
Every layer of it has been poisoned with hate
My soul feels so very empty
Coming out of this will be one hell of a miracle!
Now I'm not saying that i don't believe in miracles
But truth be told i ain't ever seen any
So that really doesn't leave much room for hope now...does it?

I might be the captain of my ship
But alas the sea don't belong to me
It behaves as it wants to
Somedays it co-operates
While there are days when it just toys with me
We share a strange relationship
Almost some kind of bond if you may
We fight and then make up and then fight again
This is an everyday happening
And to tell you truth....
....we've both kinda' gotten used to it now
....in fact we've grown fond of each other
I now truly believe that we were meant to be

Never let any doubts or fears defeat your conviction
Make those hurdles face prosecution
Always keep yourself filled with motivation
Remember...the path to success is never easy..it's always filled with occasional periods of oppression
At times you might feel a sense of depression
But don't give up..fight and pummel your problems into submission
And when you reach your goal..
...you will experience this amazing sense of pride and elation

Thwarted by fate
Still won't give up
Admonished by family
Still won't give up
Neglected by lover
Still won't give up
Criticised by the world
Still won't give up
Betrayed by friend
Still won't give up
Bruised and battered
Still won't give up
...giving up just not an option

'So hows your love-life going?'
'I thought love was supposed to make you feel good but at times its terrible.'
'You know love is both the best and worst thing that can happen to a person coz in an amazing way it brings out the best and worst in a person...it exposes him or her.When love gives u wonderful moments cherish it but if you are not prepared to  fight it out,suffer in love and be destroyed by its incredible power you can't really learn any meaningful lesson in life.One thing is for certain....when in love never take anything for granted.You have got to keep working on it all the time.'

A strong mind is not one which is focused and determined..rather it is the one which has the ability to focus and concentrate and as well as divert and distract itself at will...if you cannot divert and distract your mind then it becomes very difficult to filter out the unwanted stuff.

Your eyes are quite something
They say so much
And yet conceal a lot
I wonder what secrets they hold
Beneath those layers of light and love
What pain and regrets do they live with?
What do they see in me?
Do they look at with love or caution?
I wish i could read them better

The eyes i think are the most incredible physical attribute of the human body
They never lie
And say so much without saying
Almost every single emotion is revealed through this medium

Among the many experiences you will have in life...there are two things in particular which will definitely teach you the virtue of patience-

1)Marriage-You will be spending your entire life with another person.There are bound to be occasional conflicts.You can't keep reacting to every single thing.Patience is a must.

2)Parenthood-It's a child we are talking about and not a scientist!...of course you've got to be patient!!!

Day by day the pain just keeps amplifying
And the wounds just keep flourishing
I'm not surprised though
You do a pretty good job of nourishing
them
You regularly water the vulnerable areas
And feed them with an overdose of harmful pesticides
Thanks to you...
....in my world of pain and despair
There's never a drought
What did i ever do to deserve that?
I loved you
I was sincere and committed to you
And yet you had to break my trust
And shatter my heart
Guess i was never good enough for you
I had thought the ugly part of my life had ended with the war
But no.....
Little had i known that my greatest enemy would be the one to whom i gave my heart
You dismantled me in such a manner that i never ever recovered
Piece by piece
Bit by bit
Flesh by flesh
You took away the best of me
And left me bleeding and all alone
And now as i wait for a miracle
As i hope for a saviour to come into my life
I sometimes still think of the glorious moments we shared
They were glorious....
...make no mistake about that
The tragedy is that you gave me some of the best and also some of the worst moments of my life

'So what's your greatest wish?'
'I don't really know...never thought about it.'
'There must be something.'
'Well....Sometimes i wish i was ****** into a blackhole of oblivion and transported to a world of complete isolation...I don't want no family or friends...It'd just be me,my dreams and my fears..interacting with each other,sharing stories and foolishly trying  to predict the future.'

If you think that you know everything about yourself
And there's nothing new left to be discovered or explored
Then think again
For life is a constant process of self-discovery
You keep digging within yourself
You keep exploring the deep recesses of your mind
You will keep unearthing new things
Things you perhaps never even imagined about yourself
Truth is...
...You will truly never know yourself inside out even uptil your dying day
But it is your duty to keep searching within your mind and soul
And try new things
Otherwise how else will you know What you want?
What you desire?
What you are capable of?
Of all the subjects you have studied or will study
Studying yourself is the most important thing to do
For unless and until you study yourself
You have studied nothing

She wondered why he didn't love her no more
It wasn't like this before
5 years of togetherness
And now all of a sudden he didn't notice her no more
What changed?
So she asked him..
...He said he is too busy with his career and work
And so he could no longer give her any more time
To be fair to her...
...she was only asking for a little bit of his attention
But he failed to see it
In fact he refused to even try and understand
For his soul was so blinded by this insatiable ambition to succeed in life..
...to earn fame and fortune
And you see the thing is that the heart cannot feel what the soul cannot see
And he had sold his soul to ambition
But it cost him a lot
He reached the pinnacle of success allright
But when he looked around he realized...
...he was lonely
In his desire to succeed he lost his most precious gift
For she was tired of waiting for him
And had long exited his life
And all he was left with was an emptiness that could never be filled

There's nothing wrong in being ambitious...but don't become so obsessed with your ambition that you lose out on the people who truly and genuinely love you.Success means nothing if you don't have anyone to share it with.

Home is where the heart is
And you've given it to me
I hope you stay here for the rest of your life
I hope we can decorate it together
I hope we can paint it with the colour of our love
My heart before was an unfurnished room...
...damaged and desolated
Cracks on the walls
A leaky ceiling
Broken mirrors
Faulty lights
But then you came and renovated and refurnished it in the most beautiful manner imaginable
Honestly it looks great now
And the view from the verandah is fantastic...
I love you
I treasure you
I cherish every moment spent with you
With you by my side...
...everyday is a festival

I had always dreamed that someday you'd give me a diamond ring
Instead what you gave me were innumerable moments where i had to shed diamonds from my eyes
I had thought that with the passage of time you would change...
...that may be for once you'd be able to see the pain in my eyes and feel the emptiness in my soul
...that may be you'd leave your selfishness behind and be a little considerate towards my feelings
With time more often than not people invariably change(some for the better)
But i was wrong about you
Some people it seems are incapable of change
You were and still continue to be a selfish and inconsiderate person
I wish i had never met you

While there is no standard recipe or formula for success...if you have passion and belief then you will more often than not...achieve your dreams.

I have always been fascinated by the way women eat...how they savour every bite...take in all the flavours...be it a chocolate or a cake or an ice-cream or a flavoured yogurt...every spoonful/bite matters to them...i'm not saying that guys don't enjoy their food...but at times we eat like we've gotta a time limit...just somehow gulping it down like crazy!!! I must admit that i've inculcated this trait of women in my eating habit and i'm certainly enjoying it much more. I realize now that foodgasm isn't a myth!!!

The first step towards achieving success is not being afraid to fail...for if you are afraid to fail, you will not really try and if you don't try...then you will never learn.

I'm looking at the night sky
It's a clear sky tonight
Not a patch of cloud
The moon is shining with all it's glory
But unlike other nights i can see just the one solitary star
I guess this particular star wanted some time alone with the moon
I wonder what they might be talking about
Perhaps they might be sharing some beauty tips or secrets i guess
'Coz let's be honest...the moon might be the jewel of the night sky
But the night sky is incomplete without the stars

I am a well and i'm happy being one
I have no desire to be the sea
For no matter how big and powerful the sea might be
It cannot quench a person's thirst
The way a well can

Hatred has never been my cup of tea
I have always been drunk on love
Right from the day i was born
Till right now...
...uptill this very moment
It is love that has kept me going
Helped me survive
Kept my heart beating
Has kept burning the lamp of my spirit
Once i got a taste of it...
...i just never let it go
It's sweetness
It's strength
Just blew me
I will admit though that there have been moments
Moments when i've doubted whether love alone is sufficient
Whether love will always stay by my side
There've been moments when i've been pulled towards the dark
Hatred,jealousy,ego,self-doubts
....these have haunted me at times
There've been moments when i've felt weak
My faith in love has shaken at times
But in the end love has always won the battle
And it is then that i realized that the path of love is not easy
But true love overcomes every hurdle...
...every obstacle
...no matter how many there may be
Love is all you need

Love is life
Love is bliss
Love is salvation
Love is redemption
Love is conquering all odds
Love is selfless
And yet at times selfish
Love is pure
Love is like a glowing light
Love is the elixir for your soul
Love is the best thing you can give,feel and experience

Feel love
Give love
Love is the only thing which can save this planet from crumbling
And this planet definitely needs lots of it

What good is my pen if it doesn't write about you
What good are my thoughts if you're not in them
To have spent a night without dreaming about you feels like a crime
My day feels lost if don't talk to you
Believe me when I say I love you
For me there's no one or nothing in this world above you
You are to me
What the waves are to the sea
We're inseparable
You're the oasis in my heart's desert
You are light that guides me through the darkness
You are the queen of my mind's forest
You are the goddess of my soul
I'm your dedicated devotee..
...your humble worshipper
I'm enchanted by your generosity and grace
You fill my soul with the most exquisite of colours
You carry me through on those difficult days
I can't quite describe it in proper words
But I feel so strongly for you
Ever since you came into my life
There's this incredible sense of positivity and hope that keeps running through my veins
My heart keeps pounding at the rate of knots
My mind is filled with your images
I feel you in every nerve of my body
I've never felt this way before
I think I've found my soulmate in you

The evening sky streaked with the colours of the setting sun
To look at it....oh so much fun!!!
Like a bullet fired from a solar gun
Whose main purpose is to stun
Aw!!!  ****!!!.  ....the sun's gone...that's it...i think i'm done!!!
The beautiful amalgamation of fireworks has now turned into a dark empire
But wait....it seems to have has it's charm...
....namely the stars and the moon
Gosh that does make me swoon!!!
Soulgasms followed by soulgasms
I can't take it no more
So i'll just close my eyes and give in to this incredible pleasure
And as the cool breeze strokes my hair away
And the sound of leaves dancing in the wind give me eargasms
I can feel myself "coming" again!!!

A bad case of love destroys you in ways much worse than hate ever does
For hate merely hurts you
You can still bear it and accept it
But a bad experience in love severely damages your heart's ability to love again
And most importantly it becomes that much harder for you to trust someone after that shattering experience

Every face tells a story
It's just that with the passage of time one is able to teach oneself as to how to fake it

As a kid superman was my favourite superhero
Then as i grew up and started experiencing the dark side of life
I realized that it is only because of the dark that light exists
And so gradually my preference shifted towards batman

If you're addicted to something
Or love doing something
Then you'll find a way of doing it
Even if you haven't done that thing for a considerable amount of time
Sure it'll take a wee bit of time to get back into the groove
But once you get your confidence back
You'll be doing terrific

The demons within me sometimes torment me
They torture my soul
There's this constant inner conflict going on in my head
Am i fit for this world?
Do i need to change myself in order to survive?
Am i a good person?
Questions like these haunt me every night...
...not allowing me to sleep
I mostly suffer in silence
Sometimes i do weep
I can't explain these things to no one
I can't share these things with no one
I sometimes feel so lost
I sometimes feel so weak and helpless
I sometimes feel alone among a multitude of people
Slowly but surely i'm going insane
With whom do i share this horrible pain
I sometimes wish i were dead
The problems
The sadness
The depression
At times it all becomes a bit too much to take
But then i realize..death would be a cowardly escape
I need to face my demons
Eliminate my self-doubts
Take my problems head-on
Fight it out
Take a few blows
But make sure that i will be the last man standing

The one thing that sports has taught me is that you can start slow and still finish well..you just got to be patient, believe in yourself and grab every opportunity that comes your way.

But all the clocks in the city
  Began to whirr and chime:
'O let not time deceive you,
   For you cannot conquer time

In headaches and in worry
  Vaguely life leaks away,
And Time will have his fancy
  To-morrow or to-day

-W.H. Auden

When two people detest each other
And still find a way to make it work
That's  'effort'

When two people deeply love each other
And still can't make it work
That's  'tragedy'

Come and get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I have no twists and turns
You get what you see
I'll take you for a ride
Don't worry..
..I'll be by your side
I'll be your friend,philisopher and guide
We'll travel and see many places
Meet and greet new faces
Getting in is very easy
You just a few sweet words
And after that the journey is nice and breezy
We'll have candy floss
And play that shooting game
Don't worry..
..i won't tell nobody your name
An entire day of fun and frolic
Will give your soul the much needed tonic
So what do you say?
Wanna come in and play?
