Christmas Time-----Down The Memory Lane....

Few days back as i was returning from office......walking down the road... a tune caught my attention...it was a familiar tune i used to love as a kid.....the very melodious christmas tune..."Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Jingle all the way Santa clause is coming along riding on this way"...so i turned back....and saw Santa walking behind me....i stopped and looked towards him...and gave a smile...seems he liked my smile...and in return I got a gift....a choclate.......as he disappeared frm my sight....i was pondering on something...yes my childhood days incidence.....thts what i m going to share now.....

As a kid one day I returned home, grumbling that Santa Clause comes with gifts but I never saw him… my mother came up with a quick word, "he visits those kids who are not naughty, who study well and obey their parents." The little brain inside my head was in a dilemma, "should I be naughty or behave well?" I thought. Christmas was round the corner and after a lot of pondering I asked, " mummy, if I behave well, will Santa come?" "Certainly", said my mother.

From that very moment I was a good child, eating whatever was served, completing the homework on time, no talking and playing pranks in school..

On the Christmas Eve…. I inquired, "did I behave well?" mom said, "Santa would decide". That was the first Christmas eve when I slept late waiting for Santa to arrive.. My mother told me that he would arrive only after I sleep. I went to bed and was soon asleep…into the lands of dreams....

Next morning I woke up to see a Polly bag full of chocolates kept beside me… I was very excited to see that….

I was running around the house shouting in elation ….

SANTA CAME ! SANTA CAME ! SANTA CAME!

I made all my friends believe my tale….{I m expert in doing tht....}

It became a regular feature every year, on Christmas I would find a gift on my bedside and my friends tried hanging socks, writing letters but for no benefit….

By the time I was 12 or 13 I realized….. its not Santa who comes but it was mother….

She kept on denying this fact for a few more years but then, I knew it all….

Thanx Mom....for all the goodies and love and caring....nothing can be compared to tht..u r the best mom...u had to handle a mischevious kid like me.....Miss you a Lotttttttttttt.......

Hope my Santa keeps visitng life long.....i hope my children also will love my santa a lot....[heheh]

till then.....
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL...

You made me laugh when I cried so hard----Dedicated to my best frnd

You made me laugh when I cried so hard

You gave me bracelets to cover my scars

You held me close when I was so cold

You offered a comforting hand to hold

You picked me up whenever I fell

You showed me heaven when I was blinded by hell

You answered my calls in the darkened night

You gave me the reasons to hold on and fight

You rescued me when I was drowning in pain

You placed me back on the right path again

You loved me forever and stayed by my side

You entered my heart as an angel to guide

You may not be with me so much anymore
But I know you will leave open a beckoning door
I miss you so much but I'll fight till the end
I love you so much my Bestest friend.

CCD A lot can happen over coffee.....

Yups Cafe coffee day have the perfect one liner for their business "A lot can happen over a coffee" and trust me a lot does happen. Every time you go there you'll find the place packed with people from all walks of life but majority of guys/gals belong to age group 17-29 years, Aha!! thats the catch, you see people who belong to this group are the one going through different phases of life. For instance teenagers becoming adults, High school to college transition, Love stuck couples having those long chats and finally those getting married types.

I am not targeting a group here but its funny how the one liner goes well with the folks I have mentioned above. Let me explain that "lot that happens over coffee" one by one . First lets go with the teenagers, who have recently joined college. Mostly they are from streams like commerce, science, arts, Engineering and Medicine. Ok back to the topic now, modus operandi of typical teenagers, they'll come in groups and groups only. Each group is like a different cult following its own rules, you like same soccer team, have similar taste for movies etc. Their discussions too are influenced by their ideologies and in the end they'll leave in a similar fashion as they came in.

Next place goes to love birds, you'll find them sitting in some corner of the cafe, it's very unlikely to find them sitting in open(where ever one can see them). Maximum number of incidents happen to these folks, there they are enjoying their beverage and suddenly he says some thing to her that pisses her off and she leaves like Katrina(hurricane), but relax most of the time they are like miscible liquids, which when mixed are harder to seperate even through reverse osmosis. These people also exibit high brain activity during this interlude because the number of ways they communicate and understand simply baffels me.

Last but not the least group belongs to those who are about to be married or have been married for like a couple of years. I have baptized this grop as "Inert group" like the one in periodic-table. It has been named so because they are through every thing that is happening around them, above mentioned cases etc. These guys/gals will simply order some thing and stare at each other periodically. We do see behavioural changes when they are in group, guys will talk among themselves and the same applies to gals. Soon after some chit-chat nostalgia will take over and one of them will get up buy a cupon for QJAM and select K.K's "Pal yeh hai pyaar ke pal, Pal yaad ayee ge kal......."

Difference Between Laughter And Happiness

You might be laughing but it does not mean you are happy. According to me "Laughter is momentory while happiness is forever." So if you laugh most of the times in the day, it does not mean you are happy, but if you do not laugh at all you might be the happiest person of the world . The above quote might be appearing like wiered but thats what i think. (Mind u theres a diffrence between Smile and Laughter)...

Everyone knows how to get laughter, Read jokes, go out with friends....do some fun. Ofcourse its nessecary to live life but very few peoples know how to get happiness. Having seen people and there reactions around me I have found out lil bit on happiness and found out how people achieve happiness.

First of all we should understand why we need happiness? According to me we need happiness to live most of the life and enjoy each and every moment of life.... no matter how much worse our conditions are.

Secondly we need to know what is happiness, Happiness is just an emotion, a good feeling, a feeling that keeps us satisfied most of the time. A feeling that saves us from sorrow, a feeling that fuels our life. A feeling which gives us a hope to live in this world of non perfect people.

Now everyone wants to be happy, so to achieve happiness we need to do one thing, simply feel satisfied with what you are contented by God. Actually human mind constantly generates desires. If our desires get fulfilled it makes us happy and if not it makes us sad. So if our one desire gets fulfilled a new desire borns and we start working to achieve that desire. So life is like a game, get your desire fulfilled (it can be anything, a car, a big house, a beautiful wife/husband or anything) and that makes us happy. The more we have worked for our desire the longer happiness stays and if we work a lot to fulfil our desire but if it ends in nothing it makes us sad. The harder we work for our desire (which is not fulfilled) it makes us more sad .So human life is all about filling desires. If one desire is fulfilled/rejected another desire is born and similary our life gets happy/sad moments accordingly.

So a normal person's life is filled with sorrow/happiness (depending on how much of his/her desires are fulfilled and how strong his/her desire was). But there are some special person(As i call them Exceptions....and Exceptions are always there) who just stay happy no matter if their desire gets fulfilled or not. These are the people who have strong faith, (faith on god, because we can't have faith on human being because no human can be perfect...and again few exceptions are there....i have faith in god and one of my deraest closest sweetest frnd :) ). So people with strong faith in God enjoy True happiness. A Happiness that never ends. The stronger your faith is on god, the more happiness you will enjoy in your life. These people's mind generate desires like any other person, but they have more stable mind. They do work to fulfil desire with faith in god. They leave the result on God. They just do their work and do not worry about result in their life. So if their desire gets fulfilled it makes them happy more than anyone else as they enjoy it as wish of God and do not worry about loosing wat they lost. But if their desire do not get fulfilled, it does not make them sad .They accept it as wish of God. They accept every bad thing happen to their life as wish of God and such bad things does not make them sad. According to them our life is Prewritten and we cant do anything about it .We just need to have faith in God and do our deeds. We are born to do something good in our life. We are born to change other people's life. We need to understand true meaning of life and start working . This does not mean that you just keep faith in god and stop working to acheive your dedires and goals....Faith in God along with Hard work is desired to achieve SUCESS AND HAPPINESS....

These are my thoughts, Your comments are welcome....

How Poor Indian Rich People Are.....

Last night i was out with friends for hangout. We were roaming in city's best area . We den stopped car near a juicebar and ordered juice. We were waiting for juice in the meanwhile a kid came near to us on old bad looking bicycle. He was not well dressed too.

He stopped his cycle near us and asked us to purchase Agarbatti.We just said what we will do with agarbatti. He replied he has to pay his school fee so please buy it. It was for Rs. 10 and upon asking how much will he get he replied he will get Rs. 2 profit on it. Well what a big deal...we said we will buy it no problems....We bought 7 packets frm him...so he made a profilt of Rs. 14..a small amount for us but a huge profit for that guy....

Then we just started kidding with him (i know it was wrong at my part) one of my friend asked him, hey dude you should be making lot of money from this right. It's a posh area who will deny to buy your agarbatties, everyone will buy it and you must be making a lot from it.

The kid started looking at my friend's face with little wonder. We just asked what happened . He replied "I tell everyone that i need to pay my school fee so please buy agarbatti from me but peoples rearly buy it."

Upon asking how much money he makes per month. He replied he works for 3-4 hours per day and hardly makes Rs.100-200 per month. He just makes money to pay his school fee, after working so hard (yes its right he makes rs. 200 per month or rs. 6 per day)...

We were little wondering (infact wondering a lot), but we did not believe that kid, thought he must be lying. We offered him a glass of juice, and then thought he might be selling stuff to poor people. We asked him to go to everyone with car and tell them you need to pay school fee and they will most probably buy it from you...

A car stopped near juice bar. We were watching at it , the kid went near the car and told the family sitting in car, he needs to pay school fee....can they please buy agarbatti from him for just Rs. 10...

Just guess what the family inside the car told that needy kid.... They just told the kid "Go away stupid ask your father to pay your school fee.."Then another car stopped , he repeated process , and he also did not buy we were watching all this , he requested atleast 10 people with big cars to purchase from him . But all of them denied ...(yes peoples who own cars who were drinking juice of rs. 50 and probably all of them were millionnaires did not have money to buyagarbatti worth rs. 10).

Now i would like to ask a question......

1) Does the so called rich persons have gurantee that they will stay rich forever ? wat if they lost there money and there kids haveto work like this ?Are not we humans ?Is not our moral duty to help someone who need it (specially little kids)

2) I would like to ask from school , cant they pardon fee(not charge them ) of poor kids? Will it really affect them if they discount fee of 5-10% percent kids who are really financially weak...

3) Can't govt schools improve level of education can't they provide finacial aid to such students.

Ok i am confident about career of that kid. Anyone who works so hard just to keep his education continued will defenately be very successful in future . He will be star of future and he will do much better in education and life than the kids of those so called rich people....who spend thousands of rupees just on tutions..... So these people who said " no " to purchase the kid's agarbatti should just think once again that if they did right by saying "no" ? If we are in condition to help someone then why not can we come voluntaririly come forward and help such students and lead India to bright future....As India's future is current generation and kids.....So the so called Rich People please give it a thought....Help the Needy and Deserving people...
