Mistakes

“Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.” - Swami Vivekanda

I would like to keep the dates I have with my journals. It would have been interesting, had I, faithfully kept a dairy and recorded all the events in my life. The worrying thing about me is that I don't remember my mistakes...I am been contended with my life and still I keep doing mistakes again and again. It is better to write down how I felt when a mistake has occurred...it is good to revisit that feeling so that the mistake is not repeated again.

Dreams Of Desire`

This poem totally touched my heart...

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon…
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it
or fade it or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own,
if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day.
And if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.”

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

My Father...

I stumbled upon this poem....best expresses my thoughts about my father....

We don't stand at your grave and weep.
You are not there. You do not sleep.
You are a thousand winds that blow.
You are the diamond glints on snow.
You are the sunlight on ripened grain.
You are the gentle autumn rain.
When we awaken in the morning's hush,
You are the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
You are the soft star that shines at night.
We don't stand at your grave and cry.
You are not there. You did not die.
You are always when I wanted you to be.......

Music that turns me on

I think, one of the things that keeps me moving is music.  It is a great healing force on me.  Being a constant traveler,  I have enough time in my hands to ponder on lot of things and some are quite disturbing.  My work, for example, was quite taxing and it hits my nerves badly.  I tend to carry these negativity to my home....but in the meanwhile, my mood takes a 180 degree turnout, if I listen to something soothing. At times, it makes me nostalgic, brings back good memories and silently makes me smile. 

Every morning...

when I get to start to the office...I start thinking the things which I am going to miss during the absence at home. Usually, it starts with my son requesting me to stay back and play with him. It's funny at times when he throws some spetacular questions at me and I blarping out some funny answers. Not that I want lie to him, but I dont have the answers to his questions. His interests in the new things he sees in his life, perks up my interest in life..here is my inspiration...tiny and serious about life..

lessons to be learnt

It was a long time since i had put in some words here. The real reason was that I was depressed for reasons known only to me. I was unlucky enough to loose a friend for no fault of mine. Even now, I am wondering why I was hated for no reasons. Sometimes people use you for their own welfare and when the means are achieved, you are out of there life. I pray for this friend of mine and may God put some good sense into the mind of this person.

As I was reading one of the blogs....I tumbled upon this wonderful true story of inspiration...http://www.alexisleon.com/story.html

The English Language

Read this interesting thing about the Queen's language

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
It ends?
