Sometimes. . . .
“Our best thoughts come from others.” -- Ralph waldo emerson
With thousands of thoughts and worries, staring at the monitor, monitoring some un-monitored messages and issues had left me a little tired and jinxed about the whole thing. Just then as any other software guy's day, a forward knocked at my inbox doors. To claim my right for the break i again started staring at the bright monitor that makes me dull end of the day. But the forward did cheer me up and thats when i remembered emerson and thought i should share this piece of writing with all my friends.
Though might seem very known and heard stuff, trust me it gives u a sense of good feeling. I don't really know the author of it and even google failed to tell this to me. Yet neverthless anonymous though, the words were worth a read. So here it goes.
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or help figure out who you are or who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be; your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with theirs, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
Sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience -- they are the ones who create who you are.
Even the bad experiences can be learned from ... those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious about to whom you open your heart.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love. Break free and set your sights high.
Hold your head up because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.
You can make of your life anything you wish.
Create your own life and then go out and live it!!!

“You will always find an answer in the sound of water."
-Chuang-Tse
-Chuang-Tse
This is a neophyte's view of Water. Am not really talking about all the eco-balance and save water jargon though but something really off the beat.
When i actually look back when i was young i have this strange affinity towards water,it has always fascinated me in numerous ways; though i never could swim in it.
Strangely when i look at the panchabhuta's i always was fascinated by water. Its one among those 5 elements that assures is the most powerful in all aspects. Water embodies in its fathoms enormous power, vigor and force. On the other hand its equally calm, peaceful and the most beautiful to look at. I strongly believe that water is one such thing that can communicate and express every expression and emotion of life. Music,Love, anger, calmness, destruction, speed; name it and you would have seen display it in all colors and shape of life. Water could dissolve anything and swallow it over a period of time.The widespread oceans themselves explain the hugeness of water. From Pouring life and growth to so many attributes water any day could work wonders. Something that appealed me most about water is its adaptability, taking the shape of anything that it flows into.

Now why all of a sudden talk so much about water?
“In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.”......
On a finer look its actually about us that i am trying to talk.I feel there is a lot that one can learn form water. A river teaches you to be calm and patient at source. Gather and store as you flow, roar mightily when you are full of wisdom and knowledge, carry good values, settle the bad pebbles and embrace the meaning of life by giving all the good when u meet the ocean. Just as water does being adaptable to things and being among all when with people around, are some of the few of the millions that we can learn.
That's why probably da vinci has said...“In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.”......

ME-mories
Just then i happened to pop onto this pic. It was an amazing moment between us pals. We ate together, rejoiced together. This pic is just few seconds before two of us fell down from the pipe, yet holding together before and even while falling.... Togetherness ticked in every moment.
Now when i look back and gaze into present the other two have flown miles away,across seas to pursue their dreams... one in US and other in Europe. Yet i feel with a faith lingering in my heart that somewhere we still are connected together and as i said its among friends that this togetherness always keeps ticking..!!!
......and reading bob dylan again i was just taking care of the memories i shared.
