Words~

I'll be there..

If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase " I'll be there". Being there for another person is the greatest gift one can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us.We are renewed in love and friendship.We are restored emotionally and spiritually.Being there is at the very core of civility.

I miss you..

Perhaps many couples would be saved if they simply and sincerely say to each other,"I miss you". This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved.

Maybe you're right...

This phrase is highly effective in diffusng an argument and restoring frayed emotions. The flip side to "maybe you're right" is admitting "maybe im wrong". Let us face it. When you have an intense argument with someone, all you do is cement the other's point of view.They ,or you, will not change their stance and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between the two of you.Saying "maybe u'r right" can open the door to further explore the subject, in which you may then have an opportunity to get your view across in a more rational manner.

Let me help..

The best of friends see a need and try to fill it.When they spot a hurt, they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they pitch in and help.

I thank you..

Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy.People who enjoy the companionship of good close friends are those who do not take daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted, often donot have the attitude of gratitude.

I trust you..

Respecting and trust is another way of showing love. It conveys tha feeling that another person is a true equal. If you talk to your children as if they were adults, you will strenghten the bonds and become close friends. This applies to all inter-personal relationships.

Go for it..

We are all unique.D'ont ry to get your friends to conform to your ideals.Support them in their pursuits of interest. no matter how weird they seem to you. Everyone has dreams, dreams that are unique to that person only. Encourage your friends to follow what is close to their hearts. Tell them to " go for it".

Please forgive me..

All of us are vulnerable to faults and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesyerday.

I love you..

Perhaps the most abused but most important three wors\ds that you can say. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emotional needs. The need to belong, according to Maslow's hierarchy, ranks 3rd, only after basic needs and security.Your spouse, parents,children,friends and you, all need to hear these three little heartfelt words" I love you".



Thus, i would like to end this by quoting," Its only words and words are all i have to take ur heart away".

"When was the last time did u feel happy?...and i mean unconditional happiness.No strings attached."
This was what i was asked at the mandatory counselling session. Left me in the lurch for sometime coz for this i really had to think.Think hard.Yup i could have faked. Said something just randomly. But that wasnt supposed to be. For this question was stuck in my brain, a funnily equiped organ, and those words kept revolving in my mind like a stuck record.
In this day and age where people are busy making preparations for being "happy" in their future, i really wonder when will they ever get the time to enjoy their personally stored happiness quota? If its ever meant to be, i wonder what will 60+ people do? Anyways i donot wish to dwell into that topic, as that would make limited reading. What i want to get into is:
What is "unconditional happiness"?
Is it the comfort of knowing that we are secure from the dangers in life?Or is it a feeling that spills over u when u top ur class?Or it the getting everything one desires?
For all this i believe there never can be happiness which is unconditional. Everything temporary or tangible cannot be a source of unconditional happiness.
The fact that i had to think to answer this simple question puts mee to shame. For there cannot be a more simple answer to this question. The answer to this question is "I feel happy just knowing that i can "feel" happy"....hehehe!...waht better way to define an emotion~totally abstact!

“Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers, the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place, a town, a house like a lot of other houses, a yard like a lot of other yards, on a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years, I still look back, with wonder.”
— Daniel Stern as the narrator, The Wonder Years

I soo wish i were young, to enjoy life sans care and consiousness in my mind,
I soo wish i could have fun of each and every kind.
I wish and i hope and i pray to thee,
To keep most of us young and childlike and free.
For life as it moves from sunrise to sunset,
Brings with it mirth and doubt and regret.

No plan equals good plan!

This was kind of sudden. My aunt calls at 9 in the evening to inform mee that we are leaving for a picnic the next day. Yeah right...i think, this is soo not going to happen. But to keep up wid her enthusiasm i keep my enthu going full swing. The next day i get up and get going wid my usual stuff...and just then she calls. I first thought she must have called only to cancel, but to my surprise the Qualis was ready to roll. With no packing done the previous night, i started running around to find my travel essentials. In 15mins i was stand at my gate ready for them to pick mee up. And off we were to a place not seen by mee. Yes i was excited, yes i was trilled, coz i too like most human love and seek adventure.
We reached late evening to a place called "dive agar". Weird name and equally wierd place. Now in this modern day and age, where will one find a place wid 1.}No network i.e no airtel/idea/hutch signal2.}No pay phones for miles 3.} No cable for the t.v.
With all the modern timepass cut, i thought, "Thank God they've atleast got electricity.", but i was soon to be learning that they had powercuts for a min of 3 hrs...
Insipte of all this info, we had an awesome dinner which included the likes of oriental-tandoori-seafood staples...yummmmm!
The next morning we leave the comforts of our ACed MTDC cottage/tent and head out to "The Beach". Here i must say that upto this point we only had heard the sound of the waves, but when we entered from the thick shrubs into the golden sand...what we saw was priceless.
The sea looked clam with a naughty glimpse in its eyes. The sand was soft and the climate just perfect. It wasnt very hot and neither very humid, however the afternoons werent very pleasant. All we did was~[ate*played*slept]n.....and had a superb time...
I write all this not merely because i want to make mes amis a little jalous...but for highlighting that...."No plan equals good plan"...for i am sure if this trip was planned, it would never have turned out as a truly memorable and cherishable experience!
Go ahead ppl, be imPULSive!!!!
