Tare Zameen Par:

In the movie _Taare Zameen Par_
The art teacher tells the rude and cursing father of the dyslexic kid about *Solomon Islands..*

In those islands, the tribal don’t cut down a tree. *They surround the tree and curse it for hours every day..*

Within a few weeks, the tree
dries up and becomes dead..

Many of us might find that example too difficult to believe. How can intangible and invisible thoughts and words kill a tree.!

Well, if you get to read Bruce H. Lipton’s THE BIOLOGY OF BELIEF, you won’t only believe in the Solomon Islands story, but would also think a dozen times before saying something demoralizing to yourself and the people you love..

In this book, Mr. Lipton tells in detail about the power of conscious and subconscious mind..

The subconscious mind is million times more powerful than the conscious mind, and decides most of the things in our lives according to the beliefs it has..

Many times we fail to change an unpleasant habit despite our will-power and consistent efforts..

It’s because the habit has been so strongly programmed in our subconscious mind that the efforts made by our conscious mind hardly make any difference.

*Conscious Mind is just a shadow* *of our Unconscious Mind..*

So, when the tribals of Solomon Islands curse a tree, they are actually installing negative and harmful beliefs in the tree’s emotion (yes, trees do have emotions too).

Within few days, those negative emotions becomes a belief & eventually changes the molecular architecture of the tree and kill it from inside..

2500 years ago, when the Buddha said that *‘You are what you think',* he was not articulating a random philosophical theory.

Actually he was telling a scientific fact which is now proved correct by Quantum Physics and Molecular Biology.

The book has a special chapter on Conscious Parenting where it talks about the beneficial and harmful effects of what parents say to their children..

*If you are a parent and you keep cursing your child in the name of constructive criticism, you are installing beliefs in their mind which will keep harming them forever..*

*But if you keep appreciating them in a sincere way, you are installing beliefs in their mind which will help them entire life..*

And also be careful of what
you keep saying to yourself.

Repetition of words and thoughts is the best way to install a belief in your subconscious mind..

If you keep saying you are a loser,
don’t be surprised if you become one within a few months or years..

And if you have friends who keep saying such things to you, there is no harm in saying a quick goodbye to them..

May be you value the friendship a lot. But you must value yourself a little

And ...Always keep saying to urself..
*I am healthy, wealthy, happy, successful & prosperous!*

It's a long message but please read at least the gist of it...

Thank God:

    A rich man looked through his window and saw a poor man picking something from his dustbin ... He said, Thank GOD I'm not poor.

             The poor man looked around and saw a naked man misbehaving on the street ... He said, Thank GOD I'm not mad.

The mad man looked ahead and saw an ambulance carrying a patient ... He said, Thank GOD am not sick.

   Then a sick person in hospital saw a trolley taking a dead body to the mortuary ... He said, Thank GOD I'm not dead.

   Only a dead person cannot thank God. (Psalm 115:17)

Why don't you thank GOD today for all your blessings and for the gift of life ... for another beautiful day.

*What is LIFE*?
     To understand life better, you have to go to 3 locations :

1. Hospital
2. Prison
3. Cemetery

🏥 At the Hospital, you will understand that nothing is more beautiful than HEALTH.

🔐 In the Prison, you'll see that FREEDOM is the most precious thing.

💐 At the Cemetery, you will realize that life is worth nothing. The ground that we walk today will be our roof tomorrow.

*Sad Truth* :  We all come with *nothing* and we will go with *nothing* ... Let us, therefore, remain humble and be thankful & grateful to God at all times for everything.

जो सितारे थे चमकते रहे:

सरकशों ने ताअते-हक़ छोड़ दी

जो गुबारे थे वह आख़िर गिर गए

याद नहीं वो रूठा था या मैं रूठा था !
साथ हमारा जरा सी बात पे छूटा था।

चिराग ए उल्फत जला रहा हूँ मैं
अब अँधेरे मिटा रहा हूँ मैं
नहीं है जिनमे वफ़ा की खुशबु
वो निस्बतें भी निभा रहा हूँ मैं....

Success doesn't change:

Here's a good one for you :)

This is a great story. Take a moment to read it; I Pray it will make your day!

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art..

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas, There was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands..

He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly... He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package. 'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'

The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture.. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'

There was silence...

Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'

But the auctioneer persisted 'Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'
Another voice angrily. 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts. Get on with the Real bids!'

But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting...' Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

'We have $10, who will bid $20?'
'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'

The crowd was becoming angry They didn't want the picture of the son.

They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel.. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'

A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'

The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is over.'

'What about the paintings?'

'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will... I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.

The man who took the son gets everything!'

"Success doesn't change who you are. No, it reveals who you are.”

बुत जलते सालों हो गए ना जला रावण,
ऐब जला लेते गर हो जाता मुल्क जन्नत

रावण:

रावण केवल दानव ही नहीं बहुत बड़ा शिवभक्त और ज्ञानी भी था। आज जगह-जगह रावण का पुतला फूंका जायेगा क्योंकि रावण बुरा राक्षस था, उसने धोखे से पराई नारी का अपहरण किया था।

रावण को रामचरित मानस में गोस्वामी तुलसीदास ने भी भगवान शिव का बहुत बड़ा भक्त लिखा है। रावण एक कुशल राजनीतिज्ञ, सेनापति और वास्तुकला का मर्मज्ञ होने के साथ-साथ बहु-विद्याओं का जानकार था। रावण को मायावी कहा जाता था क्योंकि वह इंद्रजाल, तंत्र, सम्मोहन और तरह-तरह के जादू जानता था। रावण बहुत बड़ा पंडित था और इसी कारण भगवान राम ने उससे विजय यज्ञ करवाया था। भगवान शिव ने खुद कहा था कि रावण बहुत बड़ा शिवभक्त है, उसकी भक्ति पर भगवान राम को भी शक नहीं था। आयुर्वेद, तंत्र और ज्योतिष का ज्ञाता रावण वैज्ञानिक भी था। इंद्रजाल जैसी अथर्ववेदमूलक विद्या का रावण ने ही अनुसंधान किया। रावण बहुत बड़ा और अच्छा राजा था, उसकी सोने की लंका में उसके राज्य वाले बहुत ज्यादा खुश रहते थे। इसी कारण भगवान राम ने लक्ष्मण को भेजा था उसके पास राजनीति के टिप्स लेने को। यही नहीं उसकी सोने की लंका में किसी को कोई भी कष्ट नहीं थी, उसकी प्रजा उससे खुश और संतुष्ट थी। कई शास्त्रों का रचयिता रावण रावण ने तांडव स्तोत्र, अंक प्रकाश, इंद्रजाल, कुमारतंत्र, प्राकृत कामधेनु, प्राकृत लंकेश्वर, ऋग्वेद भाष्य, रावणीयम, नाड़ी परीक्षा आदि पुस्तकों की रचना की थी। पौराणिक ग्रंथों में वर्णन भी है कि रावण को कई भाषाओं का ज्ञान भी था।
बहन सूर्पणखा के अपमान का बदला लेने के लिए रावण ने सीताहरण किया था। उसने कहा था कि वो भाई धर्म निभा रहा है। उसने वो ही किया जो एक भाई को करना चाहिए अपनी बहन की रक्षा के लिए हर भाई प्रतिबद्ध होता है और रावण ने भी वो ही किया, ये और बात है कि उसका तरीका गलत था। रावण ने माता सीता का हरण जरूर किया था लेकिन उसने कभी भी अपने पौरूष का गलत फायदा नहीं उठाया, उन्होंने दो साल तक माता सीता को बंदी बनाये रखा लेकिन कभी भी माता सीता को हाथ नहीं लगाया, उसने हमेशा कहा कि सीता खुद उसके पास आए, तभी वो उसे अपनी पत्नी बनाएगा।

रावण के अंदर इतने गुण होने के बावजूद उसका परायी नारी को हर लाना और उसका अहंकार ही उसके पतन का कारण बना। हमे भी इससे सीख लेकर आज के दिन अपने अंदर की बुराइयों को खत्म करने का प्रण लेना चाहिए तभी सही मायनों में हमारा जन्म सफल होगा।

सुख, शांन्ति एवं समृध्दि की मंगलकामनाओं के साथ आपको सपरिवार  बुराई पर अच्छाई की जीत विजयादशमी की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं।

मजा यहीं है:

एक बार एक विदेशी कुत्ता भारत आया। अपने यहाँ के सारे कुत्ते उसे एअरपोर्ट पर लेने गए। खूब आदर-सत्कार किया गया। विदेशी कुत्ते से पूछा गया,"भाई भारत में कब तक रुकने का इरादा है?"
विदेशी कुत्ता बोला,"अब तो हमेशा यही रहेंगे!"
देशी कुत्तों ने पूछा,"भाई आपके यहाँ क्या कोई कमी है, जो आप यहाँ रहेंगे?"
विदेशी कुत्ते ने एक सर्द आह भरते हुए कहा,"हमारे यहाँ का रहन सहन, वातावरण, खानपान, जीवन स्तर सब कुछ यहाँ से ज्यादा अच्छा है लेकिन भौंकने की जैसी आजादी भारत में है, वैसी संसार में कहीं और नहीं है!"

Company of wind and dust:

In the company of wind, DUST achieve great heights but when mixed with water it becomes MUD; so choose Right company....

"It takes years to build up trust and just seconds to destroy it."

"Sometimes the perfect person for you is the one you least expect."

"जो सफर अख्तियार करते हैं...
वो मंजिलो को पार करते हैं...
बस आप चलने का हौसला रखिये...
क्योंकि ऐसे मुसाफिरों का तो रास्ते भी इंतज़ार करते हैं..."

बड़ा मुश्किल होता है जवाब देना
जब कोई खामोश रहकर सवाल कर लेता है …

वो नदी थी वापिस मुड़ी नहीं,
मैं समन्दर था आगे बढ़ा  नहीं !!

शिक़ायत उसकी नहीं है के उसने ज़ुल्म किया ..
गिला तो ये है के ज़ालिम ने इंतेहा नहीं की

"During a journey, we ensure our luggage doesn't get exchanged with someone else's."

In the journey of life, ensure your bag of Faith doesn't get exchanged with the bag of Doubts someone else is carrying.

Nice place - worst place:

*Short Story...Nice Moral..!*

*A person asked a question to his Guru, "My workers are not true to me. My children, my wife and the entire world is very selfish. No body is correct."*

*Guru smiled and told a story...,*

*In one small village there was a room with 1000 mirrors. One small girl used to go inside and play.! Seeing thousands of children around her she was joyful.*

*She would clap her hands and all the 1000 children would clap back at her*

*She considered this place as the world's happiest n beautiful place and would visit often.*

*This same place was once visited by a sad n a depressed person.*

*He saw around him thousands of angry men staring at him*

*He got scared and raised his hands to hit them and in return 1000 hands lifted to hit him back.*

*He thought... this is the worst place in the world and left that place.*

*This world is also a room with 1000 mirrors around you... What we let out of us is what the society will give back to us.!!*

*"This world is a heaven... It's up to us what we make out of it..."  said the Guru....*

Right partner:

ARE YOU WITH THE RIGHT PARTNER?

During a seminar, a woman asked," How do I know if I am with the right person?"

The author then noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so he said, "It depends. Is that your partner?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?" Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind, replied the author.

Here's the answer.

Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet."Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It's a natural cycle of EVERY relationship.

Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship; you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, "Am I with the right person?" And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when relationships breakdown.

The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the person you found.

People blame their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.

Infidelity is the most common. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your relationship. It lies within it.

I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later.

Because (listen carefully to this):

The key to succeeding in a Relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the Person you found.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it demands WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make it work. Make no mistake about it!

Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your partner), Just as there are physical laws Of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. If you know how to apply these laws, the results are predictable.

Love is therefore a "decision". Not just a feeling.

Remember this always: God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let GO!

5 more minutes:

*5 More Minutes*

A woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground at West Coast park one fine Sunday Morning.

"That's my son over there" she said, pointing to a little boy in a red T-shirt who was gliding down the slide.

"He's a fine looking boy," the man said. "That's my son on the swing in the blue T-shirt."

Then, looking at his watch, he called to his son.

"What do you say we go, Jack?"

Jack pleaded, "Just five more minutes, Dad. Please?" "Just five more minutes."

The man nodded and Jack continued to swing to his heart's content. Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son. "Time to go now?"

Again Jack pleaded, "Five more minutes, Dad.

Just five more minutes." The man smiled and said, "O.K."

"My, you certainly are a patient father," the woman responded.

The man smiled and then said, "My older son John was killed by a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent much time with John and now I'd give anything for just five more minutes with him. I've vowed not to make the same mistake with Jack.

He thinks he has five more minutes to swing. The truth is, I get Five more minutes to watch him play."

Life is not a race.

Life is all about making Priorities.

What are your priorities?

Give someone you love, 5 more minutes of your time no matter how busy and you will have no regret forever.

Once you have lost it, shall be lost Forever...

Life can only be understood backwards; But it must be Lived forwards.

Life is an uncompromising reconciliation of uncompromising extremes.

Life is real... Life is earnest... And the grave is not its goal.

*Live Life before you Leave Life* - *5 More Minutes*

Naughty at 40:

*Why Do Men Get Naughty At 40?*
Men are like open soda bottles at age 40., Before the fizz runs out they take that last leap.

Age is a natural born killer. You realize this in-depth with every passing second. Men sober down when they reach 35-37. However, as they near 40 they exhibit mischievous teen-like symptoms. Perhaps it’s got to do with the fact that the prime of their youth is fading and it’s the last plunge to relive the past, and in the process never feel old. At age 40 men love that occasional glance they get from younger women, it’s enough to convince them about the flame of youth being alive and kicking. The raging hormones that make a quiet disappearance in a man’s life make a loud comeback at 40.Boy! The bull is ready to run again!

It doesn’t come as a surprise why women keep a close eye on their men when they reach 40. In a man’s mind 40 is a gateway to a new phase in life, something completely new, unexplored, and exciting.For married men and bachelors, life at 40 is a newfound high, a thrill seeking adventure that fizzles out as time goes by. However, until that adventure lasts, a wife/girlfriend can have sleepless nights.

At age 40 men gang up with past friends from school and college. The highest number of reunions a man attends is in his 40s and yes, that college sweetheart or college crush is around to tell a story. At 40 a man seems to find time for everything, just like in his hey days.
So cheers ....

Love yourself constantly:

How many times have you waited for someone to reply to the message you wrote, but never received it?

How many times have you dressed up for someone, waiting to hear from them that you’re beautiful?

How many times have you waited for someone’s call, so that they make you feel happy?

How many times have you waited for someone to appreciate the work you’re doing, so it’s easier for you to continue doing it?

With the reply that never came, the compliment you didn’t hear, the phone call that wasn’t intended, and the appreciation that was held back – you and I, we lost our self-worth.

Since kindergarden, we began to associate our self-worth with the golden stars our teachers gave us.
By middle school, this turned into how popular people thought we were and by college, we were living on the compliments we received, and the number of people who praised us.

And till today, we think that our worth is determined by the way others perceive us. Thus, we want our boss to happy with our work, we want our partners to constantly praise us, we want to be noticed, and we want to be appreciated.

Slowly, and gradually, this will harm us. Seeking approval and validation from others will change into a permanent, life-long struggle if we don’t start believing in ourselves.

Stand in front of the mirror and look at yourself – carefully. Speak to your reflection.

Tell your reflection you are beautiful, you are strong. Tell your reflection that you appreciate yourself, that you love yourself, that you want to make yourself happy. Tell your reflection that you’ll be there for yourself.

Because, sooner or later, you will realize that there is no one who will always be there for you, there is no one who can constantly praise you, appreciate you, and keep you happy. That is your job. And that job begins by believing that you can. 👍

Love yourself unconditionally. .

Aristotle angry :

We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Anyone can become angry--that is easy.
But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way--this is not easy.

         ~ Aristotle

रास्ते कहाँ खत्म होते हैं, ज़िन्दगी के इस सफ़र में;

मंजिल तो वही है, जहाँ ख्वाहिशें थम जाये!

जिंदगी छोटी नहीं होती
बस हमारी ख्वाहिस बढ़ जाती है,

कोई बुरा नहीं होता
बस हमारी सोच बदल जाती है।

खूबसूरत लोग हमेशा अच्छे नहीं होते है लेकिन ,
अच्छे लोग हमेशा खूबसूरत होतें हैं !

Sunder Pichai cockroach:

A beautiful speech by Sundar Pichai - an IIT-MIT Alumnus

The cockroach theory for self development👍
    
At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and  sat on a lady.

She started screaming out of fear.

With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.

Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.

The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group.

Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.

The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.

In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.

The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.

When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach  responsible for their histrionic behavior?

If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?

He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.

It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies.

I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.

It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.

More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

Lessons learnt from the story:

I understood, I should not react in life.
I should always respond.

The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.

Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of.

A beautiful way to understand............LIFE.

Person who is HAPPY is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life..

He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right..!!,,,,,,,

Spend time with your loved one:

कल जब मैं मर जाऊंगा,  तब तुम मेरे लिए आंसू बहाआगे
.....पर मुझे पता नही चलेगा तो ....उसके बजाय मेरे लिए आज रोओ ना...

तुम मेरे लिए फूल चढ़ाओगे .....पर मैं तो नही देखूंगा
तो .....
उसके बजाय मुझे आज फूल दो ना

कल तुम मेरी तारीफ़ में लफ्ज़ बोलोगे ....पर मैं तो नही सुन पाऊंगा
तो उसके बजाय आज तारीफ़ के लफ्ज़ बोलो ना

कल तुम मेरी गलतियां भूल जाओगे....पर मुझे नही पता चलेगा,
तो उसके बजाय आज मेरी गलतियां भूल जाओ ना

मेरे बाद तुम मेरे लिए तड़पोगे ....पर मैं नही महसूस करूँगा
तो उसके बजाय आज मेरे लिए तड़पो ना

कल तुम तमन्ना करोगे की....काश मेरे साथ और वख्त बिता पाते तो
....उसके उसके बजाय मेरे साथ आज वख्त बिताओ ना

Moral......
Spend time with every person you love,
Every one you care for.
Make them feel special,
For you never know when time will take them away from you......

never ignore

तेरा मुड़-मुड़कर देखना, हमें बदनाम कर गया

"दूसरों को उनकी गलतियों के लिए माफ़ करना आसान होता है ,लेकिन अपने करीबी लोगो को माफ़ करना मुश्किल होता है.जब हमारे करीबी हमें ठेस पहुचाते है तो हम भावनात्मक रूप से जादा क्षतिग्रस्त हो जाते है.और उस समय हम अपने को जादा असुरक्षित महसूस करने लगते है.और इन परिस्थितियों का सामना हमे बार बार करना पडता हैया जिंदगी भर .ऐसे में हर रोज किसी की गलतियों को भूल जाने के लिए बहुत सारी ताकत की जरुरत पड़ती है.यह ताकत हमें क्षमा से मिलती है"

तेरी महफ़िल से उठे तो, किसी को खबर ना थी,

तेरा मुड़-मुड़कर देखना, हमें बदनाम कर गया

और भी बनती लकीरेँ दर्द की शायद कई,

शुक्र है तेरा खुदा, जो हाथ छोटा सा दिया...!!

अजीब फलसफा है इस मोहब्बत का ऐ दोस्त , 

निगाहेँ फरेब करेँ और दिल गुनहगार हो जाता है ।

“If things go wrong, don’t go with them.”

Let's be better today:

वो शाख है न फूल, अगर तितलियां न हों
वो घर भी कोई घर है जहां बच्चियां न हों

अश्रु वो शव्द हैं जो हिर्दय कभी नहीं कह सकता

There is only a thread gap between Love & Friendship... stealing heart with permission is Friendship... stealing heart without permission is Love !!!

भावों ने भिगोया जिन्हें नहीं,
बरसात की कीमत क्या जानें।
बस,बातों के जो सौदागर,
जज्बात की कीमत क्या जानें।
दिल-दिमाग जिनके बंजर,
... तन ही सब कुछ,मन क्या जानें।
जग को ठगकर भी जो भूखे,
उपवास की कीमत क्या जानें।
खुदगर्जी जिनकी फितरत है,
अहसास की कीमत क्या जानें।
खून भरोसे का जो करते,
विश्‍वास की कीमत क्या जानें।

“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection”

रफ्ता रफ्ता दुनियादारी आ गई:

रफ्ता रफ्ता मुझ को भी ये दुनियादारी आ गई...

मुस्कुराके हम मिले हैं रंजिशों के बाद भी..!

When GOD takes away something from your hand, don't think He's punishing you... He is merely emptying your hand, for you to receive something better. Have Faith!
