Thank you...

-

Midst the routine humdrum of life
out of nowhere a smile, word or gesture,
gets the missing glint back in your eyes.
Moments when someone says they care, 
relish these moments for they are rare.
Days when you realize life is 
much more than you thought,
 And you always had with you what
you went out and sought.
When you finally see that
the best grades or that coveted job post,
none were worth missing what matters most.
When you find the meaning of life 
is simple and pure as morning dew, 
Pause and take some time out 
to say a heartfelt thank you!

    Upasana, thank you for the nice composition. As a matter of fact, irrespective of what we receive, we have already been blessed so much by the Creator that we have to be thankful each and every day. The more we thank him, the more we get blessed.

    I FOUND OUT THROUGH EXPERIENCE WHATEVER HAPPENED AS THOUGHT OF THAT GAVE INSTANT JOY AND BENEFIT BUT JUST THE OPPOSITE OF IT GAVE ME ALSO THE SAME THING ONLY A LITTLE LATER. SO IN BOTH CASES I THANK THE GIVER(S).

    It is these days, the ones when life catches up, that I wait for the most, but they catch up when I am not waiting, and never when I am looking forward to them. Life has this enchanting beauty of surprise in it, isn't it?

    Nice post!

"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..
