Live Life ...King Size

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 dayOn 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.

Why God Created Teachers

Why God created teachers

When God created teachers,

He gave us special friends

To help us understand

His world And truly comprehend

The beauty and the wonder

Of everything we see,

And become a better person

With each discovery.

When God created teachers,

He gave us special guides

To show us ways in which to grow

So we can all decide

How to live and how to do

What's right instead of wrong,

To lead us so that we can lead

And learn how to be strong.

Why God created teachers,

In His wisdom and His grace,

Was to help us learn to make our world

A better, wiser place.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUKUL !

What was his life but a vapor

A grain in the sands of time, A drop of dew in the morning

And a ray of lost sunshine, His love was deep as the ocean

It reached from the earth to the sky

He looked for the wings of an angel

And the land of "Sweet Bye and Bye"

Sometimes his pain was a puzzle, sometimes his joy a rhyme

But his heart reached out and touched me

That wonderful brother of mine

Life is never a highway but a mountainous road to climb

I'm glad I had you beside me

Oh. wonderful brother of mine

You were here for only a momentNow you have slipped away

The stage of life's been traded for one of earth and clay

I think of the days of childhood

When we played on meadow and Lea

All that is left is an echo your voice is calling to me

How many drops of water has gone down the river of time

But none will be more precious

Than ours- Oh, brother of mine

The twilight of life came creeping across the portals of time

And when the veil was lifted....Gone--that brother of mine

Gone like the mist of the morning or flowers at ending of day

The song of the bird has ended and the music has faded away

If God would grant me the power to turn back the pages of time

I'd turn them back one by one till I found that brother of mine

Life's little day has ended your race on earth is run

So fold your hands my brother and wait for the morning sun

Farewell, oh wonderful brother of mine and may these words be read

By those who still remember you...

HAPPY BRITHDAY MUKUL ...

I haven’t taste the meaning of the life...since you have gone so far away. It hurt so bad, when i am alone without your love.My life is empty...I thought that i will never full this empty life...since you turn away. Take care... our wishes are with you where you are.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..... enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of herown even if she never wants to or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...a youth she's content to leave behind....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in herold age....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....a feeling of control over her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...how to fall in love without losing herself..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...How to quit a job, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship....

VERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...when to try harder... and when to walk away...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... that she can't change the nature of anyone...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...that her childhood may not have been perfect...but its over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...whom she can trust,whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...where to go...be it to her best friend's kitchen table...a charming inn in the woods...when her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...what she can and can't accomplish in a day...a month...and a year...

A Rose

A lovely rose with petals soft

A scent so sweet and light

So beautiful a flower

With colors shining bright.

But something not so savory

About the fragrant rose -The thorns, so sharp upon the stem,

That sharpen as it grows.

Yet still lovely is the flower

Despite the thorns that prick

Just as life and love are sweet

They too have thorns that stick.

But do not fear to live or love,

Life's not exempt from pain -So pick a rose, you may get hurt, But you will also gain!

Words Are Not Enough

The words "I miss you" can not display

The depths of how I care.

The words "I want you" do not betray

The extent of what I dare.

The words "I need you" can not convey

The extent of my prayer.

The words "I love you" do not portray

The heights of my love.

Many Times In My Life

Many times in my life I have disappointed you,
and begun to stray.
But you have pointed me in the right direction,
and sent me on my way.

Many times in my life I've needed a helping hand,
and someone to pull me up.
It was you who gave that helping hand,
and always cheered me up.

Many times I've been sad and down,
and taken it out on you.
But you stood by me and comforted me,
In times that I was bad.

Many times I've needed support,
and to know someone was there.
It was you who held me up,
and showed me how to care.

Many times I've wanted to tell you this,
But never got a chance.
You have helped me out in life,
and got me where I am.

You were there for me through thick and thin,
You never gave up on me and you taught me how to care.
From the deepest of my heart I want to say I thank you for being there for me in times of good or bad.

Woman of No Time

I am the woman

Who has no time,

I envy those who have

They envy me for having none.

My desire is to plant forests

But I only manage shrubs,

I want to run one million races

When I barely manage one.

Yet I know I'm not a fly born in the summer dawn

And dead in the afternoon,

My day is a pomegranate

Full of ruby grains --

Time must be my friend!

Stopping me from tasting them all at once

So I can enjoy them one by one.

As long as each grain is a lifetime

I do not care if I am the woman of no time.

House Cleaning!!!

Last Week I threw out WORRYING,

It was getting old and in the way.

It kept me from being me,

I couldn't do things my way.

I threw out those inhibitions,

They were just crowding me out.

Made room for my New Growth,

Got rid of my old dreams and doubts.

I threw out a book on MY PAST(didn't have time to read it anyway).

Replaced it with New Goals,

Started reading it today.

I threw out childhood toys(remember how I treasured them so)?

Bought in some new books too,Called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.

Threw out I might, I think and I ought.

WOW, You should've seen the dust.

I ran across an OLD FRIEND,

Haven't seen him in a while.

I believe his name is GOD,

Yes, I really like His style.

He helped me to do some cleaning

And added some thing's Himself.

Like PRAYER, HOPE and FAITH,

Yes I placed them right on the shelf.

I picked up this special thing

And placed it at the front door- its called PEACE.

Nothing gets me down anymore.

Yes, I've got my house looking nice.

Looks good around the place.

For things like Worry and Trouble

There just isn't any place.

It's good to do a little house cleaning,

Get rid of the old things on the shelf.

It sure makes things brighter,Maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.

Hey.... This one is for you Vaishnavi..

You are there with me when i cry
you are there with me when i smile

we can gossip about anybody about anything
the best thing is our 'AROOPGIRI' (Aroop, i hope you are not reading this)
you are there to make me laugh when i need it most
i make you laugh when your down and sad

we fight over stupid things then we end up laughing it out
we love walking around at kashid beach
but less about that and we'll move on to the important stuff
my promise to you is you is to never leave your side
when you cry ill wipe your tears away
i never want to lose touch with you
or never resolve a fight
i want to be with you through it all.

I wish you all the very best. I wish you success, which brings you happiness. I will miss you a lot.Take great care. we will be colleagues soon at our dream project .. A_Q_ _ _ A. ;-)

He did it just for me

He put on make up
And danced around.
He spun in circles
Til he hit the ground.

He acted like a puppy
And ran under the hose.
He got me a tissue
When I needed to blow my nose.

He made silly faces
And talked like a girl.
He put a little bow
in every little curl.

He played with dolls
And drank some tea.
And even though he hated it,
He did it just for me.

He was my brother and i miss him so much. Love you Mukul.

Words Hurt

Wishing I had not read those words
Would rather be alone in my mind
Feeling like I've been here forever
Wanting to stay, wishing to be blind

Things people say can change your day
Words can hurt more than anything
Some let them spill without a care
Not realizing the damage it brings

Saying thoughts within your mind
Without reviewing before they spurt
Always think before you speak
You will avoid someone being hurt

The world would be a better place
If we thought before we spoke
Looking to see how we would feel
If it was our hearts being broke
