“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

..........WHAT DID YOU EXPECT??????

You came into my life
As quickly as you left.
You grabbed a cutting knife
And sliced right through my heart.

You didn't mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

My heart now cut in two
It feels beyond repair.
Injury done by you
God, life just isn't fair.

You didn't mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

So here we are, just friends.
But I long to be more.
Desire with no end
Throbbing from my core.

You didn't mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

......what do they know



  I face the world with a smile, no one knows what is hid inside.
 They see only happiness, they cant see the tears I've cried.
 When I am alone I hurt, because here I do it well.
 In front of all the watchful eyes my heaven turns to hell.
 The judge and jury awaits me, everyone has a say.
 In a life that hangs suspended for yet another day.
 Who are they to judge if what I have done is right or wrong?
 In the end I gave her up, but inside still sing her song.
 I don't know how to find the strength I thought I had.
 If only I could play tough it wouldn't be so bad.
 They say that life goes on and someday I'll smile again.
 But, how do they know my pain without being where I've been?
 I've traveled so far from home, and can't find my way back.
 Somewhere along the way I must have jumped the track.
 I saw her just today and her smile is still the same.
 She looked at me so sweetly, but never spoke my name.
 I wonder if she remembers me, It hasn't been that long.
 She may have forgotten me, but I still sing her song.

DO NOT PURSUE

Do not pursue the past.
Do not lose yourself in the future.
The past no longer is.
The future has not yet come.
Looking deeply at life as it is.
In the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom.
We must be diligent today.
To wait until tomorrow is too late.
Death comes unexpectedly.
How can we bargain with it?
The sage calls a person who knows how to dwell in mindfulness night and day,
'one who knows the better way to live alone.'

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GIRLS

Observation:
      Guys never notice differences in their friend's appearance unless the difference is too obvious (like a very poor haircut that leaves the scalp like a partially mowed lawn). But with girls, it's not the case... Try walking to your friend who is a girl (the phrase girl friend avoided for obvious reasons) with a small stain on your shirt which is usually unnoticeable. Chances are that you would get caught within the first couple of minutes.

Care:
              Guys try their best to be caring but come on... they are not designed for that! Girls often tend to care more than what you want them to and often that makes them question every 10-15 seconds about your wellness. If you are down with fever and you let your best friend who is a girl (quite funny to type) know, chances are that you'll end up answering the phone at least 20 times that day!

Childishness:
                   Almost everyone has some childishness in him/her. The famous quote "There is no point growing up if you cannot be a child at times" is an illustration of that fact. However, the proportion of girls I've observed to be childish is much higher than what I observed in guys!

Talking:
           Even the most silent girl is highly talkative within her group. With guys a reserved guy is a reserved guy wherever he is but with girls, a reserved girl acts differently when she is with her friends and when she is in a larger gang.

Possessiveness:
                I might be generalizing a bit too much here. But many girls are possessive about their friends and belongings! At least that is my observation.

Gossip:
         A girl who stays at home knows much more than a guy who is hanging out most of the day!

Independently dependent:
               Girls seem to depend on someone way too much either emotionally or personally but at the same time they easily switch preferences. Someone who was inevitable a couple of years back becomes a good friend today and a good contact tomorrow. At any point, a person who shows a lot of interest on her is always considered the best by a girl! Again, may be I'm generalizing... But that's something I observed out of my experiences.

Emotional handicap:
            With the brain being locked in an emotional trap, girls usually end up taking decisions purely out of their heart which in most cases will not be correct. Ironically, even after realizing that they made a mistake, it is next to impossible for them to correct that.

Hypocrisy when it comes to guys:
        Girls enjoy guys falling for them but many do not want to reveal that. A beautiful girl almost always confirms that the guys around her are interested in her through unnoticeable gestures. Guys however strong just start shaking at the sight of a beautiful girl staring at them and get caught. But a girl never reveals anything more than a smile at the corner of her lips... Gets hard for the guys to assess her pulse

"""""" WHAT I HAVE LEARNED """"

I have learned-
I came alone and I've to go alone......

I have learned-
People will call you only when they need you,not otherwise...

I have learned-
Extra care of anyone will ultimately fetch you blame,not appreciation...

I have learned-
A simple lie from your close one can break you more than anything..

I have learned-
Its very hard to weep alone when there's no shoulder to support you....

Ultimately, I have learned-
Help people but not beyond your dignity.

.........A poem from Sappho.........

There are those who say
an array of horsemen,
and others of marching men,
and others of ships, is
the most beautiful thing on the dark earth.

But I say it is whatever one loves.

It is very easy
to show this to all:
for Helen,
by far the most beautiful of mortals,
left her husband

And sailed to Troy
giving no thought at all
to her child nor her dear parents,
but was led...by her love alone

Now, far away, Anactoria
comes to my mind.
For I would rather watch her
moving in her lovely way,
and see her face, flashing radiant,
than all the force of Lydian chariots,
and their infantry in full display of arms.

A gem from Ancient Egypt

I shall lie down in my house and pretend illness. 
Then my neighbors will come by to visit me 
My beloved, perhaps, among them. 
How she'll smile while She send the physicians away.
She knows perfectly well what ails me.
