Leheron Se darkar -- H R Bachhan

Lehron se darkar nauka par nahin hoti,koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti, Nanhi cheenti jab daana lekar chalti hai,chadhti deewaron par, sau bar phisalti hai. Man ka vishwas ragon mein saahas bharta hai,chadhkar girna, girkar chadhna na akharta hai. Akhir uski mehnat bekar nahin hoti,koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti. Dubkiyan sindhu mein gotakhor lagata hai,ja ja kar khali haath lautkar aata hai Milte nahi sahaj hi moti gehre paani mein,badhta dugna utsah isi hairani mein. Muthi uski khali har bar nahin hoti,Koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti. Asaflta ek chunauti hai, ise sweekar karo,kya kami reh gayi, dekho aur sudhar karo. Jab tak na safal ho, neend chain ki tyago tum,Sangharsh ka maidan chhodkar mat bhago tum.Kuch kiye bina hi jai jaikar nahin hoti,koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti. -Harivansh Rai Bachan

Song of Youth... It is "Song for Youth"

Nice thoughts ...

I picked these on the move but forgot from where/whom ... "When the physical distance is more, a small misunderstanding can increase the emotional distance." "Life is not about doing what you want, but liking what you do."

Rowing a boat for the first time!!

Last Friday(25th November 2005) we had a one-day team outing to Muttukad lake and Mayajaal complex on the outskirts of Chennai. During the trip I did two things for the first time in my life - Rowing a boat and try hand at bowling !! About rowing, what to say, still no one is believing me that it was the first time for me Same is the case with bowling, my team consisted of all first time bowlers but still we were the champions; that too quite comfortable .... I think if you can give an honest try to anything and luck is on your side .... nothing is for the first time...... Check out the outing photos at my photo album .

Paradox

Paradox - "A statement that seems contradictory or absurd but is actually valid or true." Few centuries ago, a Law teacher came across a student who was willing to learn but was unable to pay the fee. The student struck a deal saying, "I would pay your fee the day I win my first case in the court". Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course. When the course was finished and teacher started pestering the student to pay up the fee, student reminded the deal and pushed days. Fed up with this, the teacher decided to sue the student in the court of law and both of them decided to argue for themselves. The teacher put forward his argument saying: "If I win this case, as per the court of law, student has to pay me. And if I lose the case, student will still pay me because he would have won his first case. So either way I will have to get the money". Equally brilliant student argued back saying: "If I win the case, as per the court of law, I d...

Truly Inspirational

Quotes the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005 "Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." " Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with...

A tribute to a woman............

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will." Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say. The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?" God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without compla...
