To A Keeper,
One day someone's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmthof their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimesthere isn't any more. No more hugs, no more special moments to celebratetogether, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away . . neverto return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you.
So while we have it . . . it's best we love it . . . and care for it . and fixit when it's broken . . . and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage. . and old cars . . . and children with bad report cards and dogs with bad hipsand aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it,because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a classmate wegrew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special . . . and so, We keep them close!
the jury is sorta out on that one..it could be about anything under the sun..guess you will have to decide..

isnt it ironic??
Just last week i was asked to write articles for a magazine..strangely..the more i think about it the less i can come up with something..before hearing about this task,i would be coming up with ideas till late at night..sometimes even wakin up in the middle of the night to write things down..ironically when i need it the most..my creative juices seem to have deserted me and ran out..
aaaaarggh!!!..now WHAT???..the worst part of all of it is that i also have a deadline to meet..so incase i dont meet it..basically..i am DEAD..HELLPP!!!

Just a thought...
i've heard this one song that just doesnt seem to get outta my head.especially this one line that goes.."then i woke up and i realised;that i was livin one big lie..."doesnt that make u wonder..practically every song on the radio or the tv has atleast one line that speaks about livin in an illusion..so that means that it isnt just a one off thing but a spreadin phenomenon..i mean is that all our lives hav come down to??livin in an illusionistic world..wher everythin is nothin but merely an illusion-a fantasy-a dream??a creation of our own neverland..wher u dnt ever wake up..a world so far away frm reality that u dnt kno wher the dream ends n reality begins(if it indeed ever does begin..?)??..its kinda freaky if that is true..like we r livin in a matrix of our own makin..except that thers no "neo" to save u but urself..when u realise that u r actually trapped in it..scary but true..isnt it??think about it..i kno i will.
Where has all the time gone???
AAh..Easter..comin up around the bend..like..tomoro..can hardly believe its already been a year..it seems like it was yesterday tht i was just finishing up with school..cant believe tht in another year i will be not only out of school but also out of college..just goes to show how time flies..or rather how the sands of time trickle through your fingers..you cant hold on to it or let it go completely(cos then it wouldnt be living)..but somehow without you realising it..its gone..a moment, a minute, a week , a month seems to jet past you in what seems like an instant..
today you seem to live life just for the heck of it..it aint like the yesteryears when every minute was cherished n treasured..when each day of life gave you plenty of unforgettable memories that added to the variety and richness of life..todays life is just a rat race..we're so caught up in getting to places that we fail to enjoy the journey gettin there..
just makes you stop and think doesnt it???..sometimes the yesteryears dont seem like such a bad place afterall..

I feared...Until i learned to Live
I feared being alone...Until I learned to likeMyself.
I feared failure...Until I realized that I only Fail when I don't try.
I feared success...Until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself.
I feared people's opinions...Until I learned that People would have opinions about me anyway.
I feared rejection...Until I learned to have faith in myself.
I feared pain...Until I learned that it's necessary for growth.
I feared the truth...Until I saw the Ugliness in lies.
I feared life...Until I experienced its beauty .
I feared death...Until I realized that it's not an end, but a beginning.
I feared my destiny...Until I realized that I had the power to change my life.
I feared hate...Until I saw that it was nothing more than ignorance.
I feared love...Until it touched my heart, making the darkness fade into endless sunny days.
I feared ridicule...Until I learned how to laugh at myself.
I feared growing old...Until I realized that I gained wisdom every day.
I feared the future...Until I realized that life just kept getting better.
I feared the past...Until I realized that It could no longer hurt me.
I feared the dark...Until I saw the beauty Of the starlight.
I feared the light...Until I learned that the Truth would give me strength.
I feared change...Until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo a metamorphosis before it could fly.

Whew!!..No more exams..Frm here to there
Hey!!its been a long time since i posted anything in here..it seems to be an especially long time since i seem to have become addicted to bloggin..who would believe huh??..frm an avid anti-voyeurist to becoming a hard core blogger and exhibitionist..hehe
i didnt think i had it in me to exhibit such tendencies..i always thought of myself of being a chalk and cheese person..a traditionally conservative person..i guess Fr.Nigel had me correctly (and incorrectly)pegged..he told me that i was an anti-rebel..a goody goody girl..while i may be like that as far as taking important decisions is concerned..in everything else its more of a case of me against the system..
Guess its just a case of another brick in the wall huh??

Its all about living life to the fullest...

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
