2:12 pm	Dance Slowly This one was forwarded by my friend Asma. And felt it had lot to offer to all of u. SLOW DANCE Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day On the fly? When you ask How are you? Do you hear the reply? When the day is done Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say,"hi" You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over. (Comment on this)

2:56 pm	Does God Exist.... Catching up with daily news on the net..... And i come across articles relating to rituals, festivals, melas..... suggesting salvation of the soul..... I must admit, for todays thoughts, I have very deep faith in God.... and existence of soul... The relation is too deep....and unseparable...only if you have realised one.... But what I don't believe are the beliefs that performing a specific rituals or act, would wash away the sins of the soul.... I fail to see, how dipping myself in Ganga, would wash away my sins...even the sins of killing my fellow brothers & sisters.....are such sins forgivable.... I don't believe the man made rituals....mean what they are suppose to. I believe that within all of us is the spark to make a difference... A potential to change the world for good or bad..... For we are gifted with one common thing called freedom..... Now it depends if we see it or not...and use it for our advantage.... Religion and the advocates of Religion have twisted the term God to their convenience.... For Power, Politics, Fame, Fortune...and all the vice that you can think of... Instead of taking us close to God, they have taken us away from very understanding of ourself. Religion could be used as a tool to create a better world...but like nuclear technology we have used for our own destruction. Even today we are not ready to believe that irrespective of various religion,colour, sect, cast we still are homo sapiens....origin of a common source... We judge people by their colour, religion, country, caste......the list is endless. And I don't see ourself to growing into the realisation of common brotherhood....for a long long time..... And if we are the reason to cause of pain to each other, we have no reason to blame God. I don't know what exactly is God's role in all this.... But God's has nothing to do if you get fired, or your car brakes down, or your loved once hurt you....or there is an Earthquake, Storm..... At the end we have to help ourself......for with our gifted freedom we have the responsibility for that freedom...And God can never take your freedom away from you.... For you have your own mind and you belong to yourself.... God Bless!! (Comment on this)

8:45 pm	What is Love? Love is such a spellbound thing... I could add thousand words to explain.... Sometimes its the Oasis of my baren heart.... Sometimes the sweetest song to my ears....... Sometimes the highest waves of my feelings... Sometimes the deepest thought of my mind..... But, I think its better I leave it with less word... As I could never explain God...I could never explain Love... I am not very romantic, but I think all the feeling... in our heart are tread together with a thing called love... Its only a matter of time, to look into ourself. God bless.....Love.........To everyone. Current Mood: loved (2 Comments |Comment on this)
8:29 pm	Time Love Eternity Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. ...

9:50 pm	Unhappiness and God.... Shonu asked me why do we grow old... And I said... So that we are not happy for ever.... I am just trying to be sarcastic..... Well the reality is that.... Un happiness is shared...... Every unhappy person tries the level best to make other unhappy..... Hence making an unhappy world... Wish happiness was so easy to spread.... Todays definition of happiness is achieved by making others unhappy.... Guess we all are doomed.... Other thing that came in the conversation was about God..... And Thank God! I could prove to my friends that there is no God. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:56 pm	Knock Knock.. Am I the only person on this planet. Am I talking towards the dead end. Hello there..... Could someone tell me why am not being noticed. Am I that bad or is the world filled with ignorance. Well I guess its a little bit of both. Well I will keep on talking till someone hears me. I though that there is space only within me. But I have realised that there is a large space between people. Each one of us being an island. But unfortunately I am a small boat sailing in the ocean of life. Sailing... Can someone hear me... Can someone see me.... Please.....tell me..... I am in a bit of hunger of recognition as any one could be. May be I am bit of a nut.... But I am just trying to be a human.... Till seen... Till heard.... (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:05 pm	Who am I? Ok its been a while I have not bothered people with my thoughts. The reason being that I was too busy watching others doing their move. And contemplating over my next move. Lost as ever, I am still struggling with me and myself. Both never seem to agree. Well not that I have a MPD (Multiple personality disorder) But all of us surely has at least two self. One that you show to others and the other that stays deep within you. We will always struggle with life until these two meet. I love you......Or do I? I missed you.....Or did I? I am happy ...... Or am I? I have visited my deeper self quite some time. And believe me it has amazed me. It really makes me feel that I am not as stupid as I think I am. Its the time when I have felt myself close to myself and God and everything around me. Make me feel that I am an important part of everything around me. Sad I fail to keep it with myself for long.... Its like doing things that you think the best. And doing the things that you like; Make you, yourself. Yesterday I was walking down to the Super Market alone. I just felt like doing a front flip. And I did.. It made me feel great. Made me feel young.... Let the body decay... But never let your mind die.... Young forever..... Current Mood: blank (Comment on this)

8:29 am	Flying with my broken wings I really don't know what to write... So I let the though be with my mind... And let myself flow with the time... I couldn't ask for more time... As time is the only thing that I am so short of.. Life has been a rollercoster drive... With its up and down.... All said and done....but still so much to be done. As I pass the distance of time.... I have found that I couldn't have asked for more. But still it has left me with a spill of dilemma. If only I could ask for new pair of wings. If only I could turn back the hands of time.. And undo all the bad things that I did.... And redo all the good things that happened to me. If only........I could..... But all that I have learned is to do the best with what I have... As the wheels of destiny always has something else on its mind... So I shall fly the distances till I meet with the roads of destiny. And when I reach there I now I couldn't be more fortunate. Till then I give away the peace of mind and love of my heart, for its the only thing that grows by giving. Till then....I dream with my broken wings. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

2:51 pm	Wish I was some one else I start a day....and run towards its end... And at the end find...myself run nowhere... Is this what I wanted to do...Is this what I am suppose to do. Is there something better to do... For now I don't even have time to ask questions where am I going to steal time for answering them..... Lets see what the day has to offer at the end. Till then I can only rush towards its end. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:31 pm	Unknown....Unheard......Unloved.......!!!!!! Another sad person in this world. Another dead soul on the road of life. Another mind ending in a disaster. Another heart without a beat. All Known....All Heard....All loved. Our heart has surely unlearned to feel. To be ...what it is suppose to be. To do ... what it is suppose to do. I don't even know why am i writing this. What does it mean. Does it mean any thing to you. For I am lost...as much as you are. More....if not less!!!. Just trying to remember when did I last time really touched the soul of a human. Forgotten how it feels to make other happy. Forgotten what it means to give a smile. Forgotten...of being myself. If I am awake why can't I open my eyes. Or do I want to..... Seeking answers.....I will find my way out of this dark tunnel. And the day I do so.....I am sure I too will be able to help you find your. (2 Comments |Comment on this)
