'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.'

It's one thing to believe in sacrifice...it's entirely another thing to act upon it. At times i've found sacrifices difficult to implement..in the beginning it stings a bit but at the end of it when i see that sign of happiness on the face of the person for whom i've done it...it makes it worth it.

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

People say that you need to love yourself first in order to be able to love others...but how is one supposed to love oneself when he doesn't know what love is,when he has never ever felt or experienced it?
How is one supposed to know about love when all his life he has witnessed and experienced nothing save for violence and hatred?
Is he supposed to learn about love from books and movies??...does it even work that way?...how can you truly know an emotion if you've never ever felt it?..and if you've never felt it...how do you display 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.

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.

The greatest pleasure lies not in proving others wrong but in proving oneself wrong in a nice way.

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!

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

In my limited years on earth i have found mothers to be the most selfless and dedicated beings....i'm not in anyway undermining the role of fathers in our lives...but mothers are simply irreplaceable...they are just a class apart...but at times i have also found them to be equally stubborn...maybe it is because they love and care so much...maybe 'coz for her the child never grows up...i don't know...happens with me all the time...i keep telling my mom..'don't work so hard...i can do this by myself'...but she never pays any heed...she just keeps on working tirelessly...and i just keep drowning in a sea of shame and guilt.

Although it's a bit unfair to choose between parents...ive always found my heart to be strongly biased towards my mom...and the reason for that I think is this... Among all the  people who have known me or have come to know me...no one understands or has been able to understand me quite as well as she does...its like she can feel every beat of my heart...and I guess that's what makes mothers so special..I deeply regret the times I've mistreated her.. The times I've misspoken to her...i wish I could go back in time and change those moments...I want to give her nothing save for joy and happiness for as long as I live.

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

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

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?

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.

Love your imperfections
Embrace your flaws
Make mistakes
Learn from those mistakes

Work hard to achieve those dreams
Focus on your strengths
Have tons of willpower
Have loads of patience
Try new things
Challenge the impossible
Don't listen to the haters
Do what you want to do
Fall in love
Value and cherish those who give meaning to your life
Learn to give
Learn to help
Express yourself
Love yourself
Believe in yourself
Never give up

You are whoever and whatever you want yourself to be
Have faith in life...
....it's tough
....it's challenging
....it's unpredictable
....but it's not heartless
It will always give you chances
Just be ready to grab them
Your life is a gift...
....make full use of it

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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!!!

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

I say i like you
You say you like me too
I say i love you
And you say you're not sure
I thought love and like were the same thing
Now i know they aren't
Now i get it
You like me...
....So you have feelings for me
But you don't love me
So you obviously don't trust me
This got me thinking
Is it better to like than to love?
Coz when u like someone you are not fully committing urself
While in love ur totally committed and much more involved
Like doesn't carry the risk of a heartbreak
Love has greater risks and so promises greater rewards

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 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!!!

Dare to be
Dare to live
Dare to love
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to challenge yourself
Dare to believe that you are extraordinary

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.

If only the heart was installed with an anti-virus software!
We would have detected the wrong persons and never let them in

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?

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

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

'So..you're physically weak,you're not good looking,you have no friends,you don't own a car,you ain't got much money either...well what do you have then?',X asked

'I have got something which is priceless and more than makes up for the lack of the above',Y said.

'Well what is that?',X asked.

'A non-negotiable soul',came the reply.

The more i fall
The more i learn
And the more i learn
The more i yearn

Everytime i make a mistake
I pick up something new
But i hope i don't repeat them
And i pray that they are in number a few

Mistakes enlighten me
They speak to me
Sometimes in hushed tones
While sometimes they scream their lungs out
I try to get rid of the ones i've met
And yet somehow a few sneaky ******* find a way into my mind
The longer they reside in me
They just keep messing with my head
Some haunt me like bad memories and nightmares do
But truth be told..they are a part of my existence
They've been added to my account
So i can't refuse to accept them
But on the other hand i'm also happy that i've made some of them
For that shows that i've tried
Sometimes i wonder as to whether i would be where i am today without my mistakes...
Have my mistakes made me a better person
Or have they exposed this dark monster inside of me that was for so long dormant?

My heart has been broken so many times that now it can't bear any happiness
Happiness seems like an alien to it
For it has always been familiar with sadness
And no matter how hard i try to explain it to my heart
It just doesn't seem to get what this 'joy' stuff is

Sometimes i feel like i'm destined to be lonely
Loneliness it seems has seduced me and got me under it's spell
It follows me all around
I now seem to prefer solitude over company
I guess being a shy person by nature i connected well with loneliness
The time that i spend with myself...
...it just helps me think and plan better
It gives a better perspective of things
But i'll admit though that there are times when i dread being lonely
At times it kills me
I have this theory when it comes to loneliness
I believe that one needs to maintain a middle path relationship with loneliness i.e.
Don't be too close of friends with loneliness 'coz you might reach a point where you will no longer be able to enjoy or even stand company
And on the other hand don't be it's enemy either 'coz you never know when you might need him or have to spend time with him
