How can I live without.......

Have you ever thought what are the things you just cant live without.....hmm lets say list out 5 things you just cant live without...

Let's do....think about it....

done????did you do that?

ok then let me tell you my list..
1. oxygen
2. water
3. mobile
4. music
5. food
(in no particular order).

I am sure something similar if not same...hmmm most of us think of mobile phones...music...food etc...

can u really not live without these...

well we can...
life goes on there is nothing on this earth without which we can't survive....living body has the tendency to struggle through bad times....

Nothing means nothing??????? (ya ya ya few things like our healthy BODY. heart lungs liver stomach and brain etc etc etc......). But we just tend to move ahead. We see a accident on road we feel bad for some time...feel like helpless and low but then we get back to our work.

Lately I have been thinking what in life is most important for any human been or for that matter any living body. Loved ones, friends, hobbies, food, work...... but somehow I was not satisfied with what answer came out of my head. Wanted something like hmm much deeper thought....

I found my answer when one day while I was driving my car back to home... on the traffic signal I saw a small kid carrying a young guy on her shoulder... the guy couldn’t walk and had only 1 hand... the little girl was in a torn frock and couldn’t talk. The guy on her back did the talking while the girl was a transport for him. When they came near my car I could think of nothing… Nothing at all not even to give them money but I was thinking only one thing... no actually I was busy thanking God that he made me perfectly normal with no disability at all.... that was the time I remembered a saying.

"I cried for a pair of fancy sandals until I saw a girl with no footwear...
I cried for a pair of chappals until I saw a man with no foot.".


Other day I received a mail (a very common mail sure many of us must have received and fwd it). It was a mail of UNICEFF about comparing the kids of South Africa and kids of well off families... when our kids played with beautiful toys they have skulls and bones to play with, when our kids have beautiful sandals they have made chappals out of plastic water bottles, when we feed our kids so much they have nothing to feed their kids at all, when we are abut about our kids over weight their kids have only their skeleton to support... well there is not so much that we can do just feeling sad about. Because we are busy making ourselves so called settled and building a secured future. Thankfully there are people working for such people.

But it made me realise what I cant live without... eyes, speech, proper functioning ears, hands and legs -- in all healthy body is all we need to live...

With out this how will I talk on my phone how will I watch movies, how will I hear my ipod and how will I survive even without one of them......its not that people who are disabled don’t live but it makes life tougher than what we live... now that I know and I have experienced these abilities like seeing, talking, hearing etc., I cant think of living without........

In the end of every day I never forget to thank my dear God who gave me a fantastic life and healthy body...with which I can live like happy... now I have no complaints from my life...its gr8 what ever it is...

God bless....

When some one encourages...

It happens to all. Many times we take a criticism extra seriously. May be that was a positive and good for us but it hurts and we tend to follow it blindly in order to be perfect. Well there have been many instances in my life, which has encouraged me tremendously. But alas the motivation lasted only for sometime and I get back to normal again.

However some time back I was criticized about something. Something I do and was suggested by few of my folks to change the way I do perhaps for better. Yes yes yes… probably they all were right. But my mind was not tuned to follow their suggestions and bright ideas. Still I tried to follow their advice landing nowhere as my heart was not with it.

I know its so confusing to understand the above without actually knowing the story. But for the first time I don’t feel like sharing the incident and just acknowledge the person I had a nice chat yesterday. Without those spur and good words I would still be standing in the same position heading nowhere. Those might be just words for you but for me where a kick start.

This article is for that person who motivated me to write more...
Actually just want to thank my friend to be with me stand by me... I hope you read this….


Friendship is the precious gift GOD gave to us…so that we can move on and on and on… May we all get best of friends and we become the best of friends to others too…

Take care…

Shock of the year

Well yesterday I got Shocked when I switched on my Television for the morning news...Ishmeet Singh is dead. I couldn’t believe the new for few minutes. He was the rising star with perfect voice. Only last year we saw him on star plus as one of the contestant and later winning the title "Amul star voice of India 2007". In the age 18 he had achieved so much. I am really sad for the mother and the father who lost their young talented boy.

How unpredictable life could be. Ishmeet's death, who gave up his studies to be a shinning star in music industry, came as a complete shock for whole nation. According to his relatives he had always prioritize his work. A dedicated young chap would be no more among us we all gonna miss him for ever.

I even heard in the news channel that he had enrolled for swimming classes in his home town and was going to start taking his swimming lessons once he returned from Maldives tour. But he could never return for the same.

Ishmeet could enter to the fame that whole country is grieving today. I pray to God "may his soul rest in peace"
