The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." Elizabeth Kubler Ross


Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy....

कोशिश करनेवालों की हार नहीं होती
"लेहरों से डरकर नौका पार नहीं होती,

कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती,

नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है,

चढती दीवारों पर, सौ बार फिसलती है.

मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है,

चढकर गिरना गिरकर चढना न अखरता है,

अखिर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती,

कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती.



डुबकियां सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाता है,

जा-जा कर खाली हाथ लौट आता है,

मिलते न मोती सहज ही गहरें पानी में,

बढता दूना उत्साह इसी हैरनी में;

मुठ्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती,

कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती.


असफ़लता एक चुनौती है, स्वीकार करो,

क्या कमी रह गयी देखो और सुधार करो.

जब तक न सफ़ल हो नींद चैन की त्यागो तुम,

संघर्षों क मैदान छोडकर मत भगो तुम;

कुछ किये बिना ही जयजयकार नहीं होती,

कोशिश करनेवालों की कभी हार नहीं होती

ZINDAGI............

Har khushi Hai Logon Ke Daman Mein,
Par Ek Hansi Ke Liye Waqt Nahin. 
Din Raat Daudti Duniya Mein,
Zindagi Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahin. 

Maa Ki Loree Ka Ehsaas To Hai,
Par Maa Ko Maa Kehne Ka Waqt Nahin. 
Saare Rishton Ko To Hum Maar Chuke,
Ab Unhe Dafnane Ka Bhi Waqt Nahin.

Saare Naam Mobile Mein Hain, 
Par Dosti Ke Lye Waqt Nahin.
Gairon Ki Kya Baat Karen,
Jab Apno Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahin.

Aankhon Me Hai Neend Badee, 
Par Sone Ka Waqt Nahin.
Dil Hai Ghamon Se Bhara Hua, 
Par Rone Ka Bhi Waqt Nahin.

Paison ki Daud Me Aise Daude,
Ki Thakne ka Bhi Waqt Nahin.
Paraye Ehsason Ki Kya Kadr Karein,
Jab Apane Sapno Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahin. 

Tu Hi Bata E Zindagi,
Iss Zindagi Ka Kya Hoga, 
Ki Har Pal Marne Walon Ko,
Jeene Ke Liye Bhi Waqt Nahin...

CHANGE.....

I wanted a perfect ending.
Now I've learned, the hard way.

Some poems don't rhyme.
Some stories don't have
a clear beginning, middle, or an end.

Life is about - not knowing, having to change,
taking the moment and making the best of it
without knowing what's going to happen next.

Every human being wants a perfect ending...but life has its own twists and turns, we always think we are in command of the situation and we are the master of every situation in our life........Thats when the almighty decides to take up the reins of our life and steer it in a direction which we never even in our weirdest of thoughts, then we get into situations where you never know whats gonna happen next, you are always guessing, everything about your life makes you feel negative, you kind of become rigid and restless..........you are scared of the thought about not knowing what is happening and what will happen............probably everybody goes through such a phase and probably not.....but such phases in life do have a galvanising effect on a person, either the person comes out stronger and better equipped to face the problems in life or he is completely shattered.............I had a choice to make in life when I was in such a situation ...welll...to be true I was shattered it was like the end of the world for me........I could'nt handle the change...things I had  taken for granted and which I had thought were but obvious..were no where true...........the change in the situations had pushed me back to the wall...I was left pondering about what had gone wrong and could have gone right....I was distressed,desolate and hopeless.....but that was not taking me anywhere............then one fine day I decided  not to fight the change but accept it....accept what life throws at me....it was difficult..(it is difficult)....taking one day at a time.....biding my time...waiting to get over my past..(the problem is one can get over their past but can never forget...)......Now, as everyday passes I realize that there is no point fighting a lost cause...it is better to accept the winds of change and make the most of the time ....you have been granted by the almighty....if not for yourself....learn to live for others..who..care for you...........................

LIFE A BLESSING OR.....

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled,
and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make
and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen,
you will never lose your value.

You are special.
Don't ever forget it!

So true, is'nt it!!! Well, it happens to the best of us many times in our lifes we are pushed into such circumstances where we really feel that we are down in dumps even our best friends and wellwishers seem more like strangers. It feels its the end of the road and you will never see a better tomorrow. I, myself have gone through such terrible situations in life where I was'nt in a position to think about my tomorrow for me everyday was like an ordeal a test of my patience and tolerance. There was a point of time where I lost the trust of everybody(probably it happens to everybody when they are in the worst phases of their lifes). The most important virtues I learnt throughtout this ordeal were probably "patience and persistence. I learnt the value of smaller things in life and the importance of relationships...All through this I never gave up because deep down the line I knew that things would change, it was just matter of winds blowing in the right direction. My persistence paid of after a long period of trials and tribulations, but that period was like a blessing in disguise for me I learnt about life, I learnt about do's and dont's, I learnt about people..It was a big learning curve..which made me a better person...which made me feel better about myself..which gave me the stregnth to go and face the world.........all these things were only possible because...deep down I knew  and people who were really close to knew that I was special........and God had chosen me..for this hardships because he knew I was capable of handling them...........so never think that.....you are worthless....
