Dilon mein tum apni.....

Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum
Nazar mein khwabon ki
Bijliyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum
Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise
Aazad rehno sikho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise
Lehron mein behna sikho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo
Khole apni bhaayein
Har ek pal ek naya samha
Dekhen yeh nigahaein
Jo apni aankhon mein
Hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum
Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum

If you carry impatience in your heart then you are alive
If you carry dreams in your eyes then you are alive
Learn to live like the free waves of wind
Learn to flow like the sea does as waves
Receive every moment in life with open arms
Every moment is a new beginning seeing with your eyes
If you carry surprise in your eyes then you are alive
If you carry impatience in your heart then you are alive

Hold on.....

Keep the light burning inside...

Cling on to that string of faith....

Not today....

May not be tomorrow....

But someday God will act for you.....

Heart is feeling pierced on reading this news. No idea why God is allowing the world to go on after such a cruelty happened in it !!!

And then it started raining.....

Everybody around is going crazy about rain.

I am also joining in :)

As if hit by a thought she looked at the clock
Oh no! I totally forgot the task, she said
Now, there's no time to tie hair or change dress
In her house kurti she rushed towards the door

Anxiously walked to and fro in the corridor
She was punching her palm with the fist
Finally the lift came.
She hopped on it and waited

Soon it came to a halt
She knew there is no time to loose
She ran and ran
Suddenly she realized it is drizzling and there's no umbrella

It didn't stop her though
The sound for her anklet blended with the sound of rain
And her locks leapt in the wind
Quickly she stopped for some vehicles to pass

Then crossed the road and fled
Finally just before the man was leaving the main gate
She identified his uniform and stopped the vehicle
She grabbed the package with all smiles

Ran back home dripping all over
But all the effort was worth it
For inside the parcel
Was her long lost childhood diary!

Gift of a friend

I want to tell you about my two friends Sonal and Priyanka. They both took care of me while I was having chicken pox and got confined to a single room for a week. Both of them have two kids. But still they kept calling me and asked about my health. They even send food to me everyday for a week. I remember crying at night with pain in my head, mouth and all over body. I wanted my mother to be with me. But because of her health, she was not able to travel. Out of my pain, I asked my mother, "how much my condition should worsen for you to come here?" (Well, I now regret saying that)

While my hubby took care of the needs of kids, my friends took care of our food. This is something that I want to count as an example of the story I heard from my father, that on the most difficult times in our life, when we feel lonely and helpless, it is when God actually carries us.

Both of my friends helped me during our house shifting too. Sonal has a 5 month old baby. But still she cooked for my family. When I told her that I don't have a big heart like you and I am not sure whether I will do something like this, her reply was, "We will do anything for someone we love"!!!! I felt very touched by her words. I thank God for the gift of their friendship!

Walk alone

I should say I am very lucky to know closely this special person in my life. She is a woman with lots of courage. Life has not been easy for her, especially from the last month. Every day, she has to go through new challenges. Sometimes, she will smile and face it, sometimes she will explode, sometimes she can handle it as if nothing has happened and there are times when her eyes get flooded and lips shiver.

Yes, these days she has to walk alone, run, climb stairs, for a hell a lot of time.

Yet, she hasn't lost faith in herself and the power that guides everything. When I met her a few days back, I just couldn't stop observing her. I saw the tension in her eyes, the smile in her lips and the grace with which she is handling things, her silent moments etc.

"I want you to know that, I will never forget how I saw you that day,

and from now on, when I hear this song, the image of you will come to my mind"


Ekla Cholo Re


Jodi tor dak sune keu na ashe,
Tobe ekla cholo, ekla chalo, aekla chalo re,
Aikla cholo re,

If no one answers your call,
Then walk alone,
(be not afraid) walk alone my friend.

Jodi kue kotha na koe,
ore o re o obaghaga, keu kotha na koe
Jodi sobai thake muhk phirae , sobai kore bhoye,
Tobe poran khule,
O tui, mukh phute tor moner kotha,
Ekla bolo re

If no one talks to you,
O my unlucky friend, if no one speaks to you,
If everyone looks the other way and everyone is afraid,
Then bare your soul and let out what is in your mind,
(be not afraid) Speak alone my friend.

Jab kali ghata chaye,
Ore o re o andhera sach ko nigal jaye
Jab duniya sari, dar ke age sar apna jhukaye,
Tu shola banja, Wo shola banja, Jo khud jal ke jahan raushan karde,
Ekla jalo re.

When dark clouds cover the sky, When darkness engulfs the truth,
When the world cowers and bows before fear,
You be the flame, The flame that burns you and banishes darkness from the world,
(be not afraid) Burn alone my friend.

A dream

When it comes to reciting rosary, I am lazybones. I prefer different short length prayers. :)

But in the past week, I said it at-least 4 times. After skipping a few days, yesterday night, I prayed with rosary. And today morning, I woke up with a clear image of my dream I had the night.

In my dream, I saw a pure blue sky with no clouds and on it, there appeared a big rosary with pearl- white colour. I think it was a little bit transparent enough to show the tiny hue of blue sky.

All the people on earth could see it for 3 hours. I thought the world was going to end.

But that didn't happen...and I woke up :)

A ping from up above

On April 14 th 2013, our wedding anniversary day, I tried hard to remember the time my father called me to wish last year. I terribly missed his sound. I felt sad on the thought that from now on, I won't hear a wish from him.


When I saw my brother's e-card, before starting to read it, I simply wished that I want to see 'daddy'in the from section.

I got my wish granted.

Also today he called to tell me that daddy had set a reminder in his phone for April 14th and it rang on that day. That news totally moved me.

Songs for long drives......

Try to do something nice without any expectation and the bliss you got while doing it will remain intact.

What others think about us is a matter, that is running in their head. We shouldn't allow our mind to think about it, unless we did something wrong.

Peacemaker

When you don't like someone's behavior and your heart feels the hurt, just look at your favourite picture of God, take His name, take a deep breath, and imagine that you are putting that person and your associated feelings unto Him. And "ta-da", peace will come back. This absolutely works for me. And if the hurt is caused by me, I recommend you to do the same. Let the power who understands all hearts take care and guide our feelings.

There are times when people become reluctant to make new friends as they are afraid of getting hurt.

I usually wonder, "this man likes God and that man also likes God, but why they don't like each other? "

'I know everything, you know nothing' attitude is a friendship killer and so is hard-core selfishness
