Woman

अपने साथ लेकर चलती है,
समझौतों के कई जोड़ से गूँथी हुई
ख़ामोशी दर ख़ामोशी, मज़बूत होती हुई
कभी चाँदी की, कभी सोने की
कभी “इस घर” की, कभी “उस घर” की
तुमने नहीं देखी
हर औरत के पाँवो में बंधी होती है
इक सुंदर सी ज़ंज़ीर

Obituary of Common Sense

Sad Demise of An Old Friend

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

Knowing when to come in out of the rain;

Why the early bird gets the worm;

Life isn’t always fair;

and Maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 -year- old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouth-freshners after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Crocin, Burnol or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; places of worship became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers – I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I’m A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, follow this. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Moments…..!

Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when you just ran out of words and you go… s i l e n t ….Let me assist you in recalling… 

.. the moment when you left your home for the first time and you look back at your parents who are worried that their son/daughter are leaving them yet happy that their child took the first step towards independence. 

… the moment when the boy/girl you like most.. smiled back at you! You dont say anything.. you just smile back.. 

… the moment when you get better marks than you expected… those“numb” moments of ecstacy n surprise “is that true?”… 

… the moment when you are parting with your old friend(s) and the train has just started… and you are standing on the door of the wagon..waving “bye-bye” with your heart beating fast… 

… the moment after the HR manager has just called you and toldyou,”You are through! Congrats!” 

… the moment when you sit alone in your room after having told everyone that you cleared that exam you prepared for 6 months!!

You can go on remembering your “special” moments! I had always wondered why I never said anything to myself at thosemoments.. as if it was “understood”… happiness, joy, pain.. all feelings just flowed ceaselessly in the ‘years’ that passed in those flash moments! 

They say.. the best way to communicate is through “silence”.Love. Joy. Grief. Surprise. Anger. Hope. Expectations. Support.Non-cooperation… 

Can you imagine the importance of a silent moment in a song ??When Bryan Adams stops for a while along with music, before he goes onin his husky voice… … Please forgive me. I cant stop loving you! 

Ever had those moments when you thought you were tired enough that you reach for your bed after dinner.. but find yourself wide awake looking at the roof of your room silently… 

But you sure are ‘thinking’… those moments of self-talk are the mostimportant in our lives. Those moments when we listen to our own hearts! Those promises… those decisions… those are the moments when we makeour destinies! 

Next time you go silent… listen carefully to what your heart is  saying.. listen to its joy…listen to its pain.. listen to its fears.. listen to its desires.. Dont make it shut up and go off to sleep… LISTEN TO THAT VOICE and ACCEPT EVERYTHING IT SAYS! That voice alone can lead you to the abode of peace that your sleep lacks… peace that awaits you!Be in touch with your true self… be silent once a day, every day !

Believe in Yourself

‘There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU.

You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.

Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life. ‘The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself’.

Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don’t be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself and your reality. It’s the way you face Life that makes the difference.

There may be the time…

I have read this somewhere and i try to follow this….

” There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be, ….that’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better.There are times when people disappoint you and let you down,but those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself and all that you are capable of.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life,

and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are, So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities,

remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be, because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep believing in yourself. “
