RIP Steve Jobs.

-
Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011) passed away on 5th October, 2011.Half the world heard the sad news on the devices he was instrumental in making.

The enigma only recently started interesting me enough to find more about him.As a matter of fact, after his resignation as the CEO of Apple Inc. did i start reading up on him.I read as much as i could lay my hands on and i was completely in awe.

Very few people come along who can truthfully say they made a difference to the whole world.The genius the world just lost was one of them.Some were a fan of the devices he made, some of his values and some, like me, of the enigma himself.



I salute his passion which remained undiluted despite the ups and downs.He stuck to what he loved and didn't give it up.Nothing could stop him from doing what he loved and did best.Be it the rarest form of pancreatic cancer or getting fired from the company he co-founded.



Mr. Steve Jobs, you have left behind a legacy.Not only in the form of a technological renaissance, also in the form of your values.If even some of us can stay as hungry and as foolish as you, only then can the world hope to fill up the void that you have left behind.

Following the quest of looking for what i love to do, i bid goodbye to your physical form, for, you shall be with us for a long time to come in our thoughts.

RIP.

    Very true Upasana, he has left a legacy of values. Nicely written article and the line I mentioned before is the best one, I read in all the tributes so far.

"Say you love me"

They slept close.Slowly, his hand slid inside her clothes.She didn't react, pretended to sleep.He touched her and it made her face him.She opened her mouth to ask but his lips stopped her.Withdrawing, he asked her, "say you love me", she could just nod.She does not remember what happened next except the excruciating pain enough to bring tears in her eyes. Next morning she asked him "I told you I love you then why did you hurt me bhaiya?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post is an attempt to highlight the fact that child abuse is not something that happens in others houses only.It could be happening right under our noses, making us ignorant.It is not something to be ashamed of and swept under the carpet in the name of society.With a little awareness from our side, we can make sure that it doesn't hurt to be a child. ----------------------------------------------------------

Little packets of hope...

Things are not going your way, Black is more evident in the gray, Not a smile on your face, Nothing gives you solace.. Everyone and everything appear distant, In favoring you, luck seems hesitant, You feel time is not on your side, and there is nothing you haven't tried. Just when you think it can't get worse, Something happens and life seems like a curse, You stop smiling and give it all up, Not half filled, its an empty cup. I am the same as you, Having felt this,in times old and new. But now when i look and ponder, It all makes perfect sense, i realize in wonder. The cup was always filled up to the half, I found no reason to not laugh, There are little joys around in every season, Always believe everything happens for a reason. Just when you think its difficult to cope, Look around, You will always find , Little packets of hope!

I don't wish for a fairy tale....

Neither the red roses, nor the candle light.. No popping of the bubbly on a moonlit night.. I don't live on the rainbow, the huge castle isn't mine, long tresses are Rupenzel's, without the genie i do just fine! Not the sea shore bonfire, limo is too huge for two.. Dont want a life queen size.. only love n comfort will do! All of it is impressive but am not looking for materiality.. I dont wish for a fairy tale.. just a beautiful reality..
