Funny Love Letter...

Awesome mail…but the best part is the signature…
(By a Software Engineer… )
 

Sweetheart ,

I’ve seen you yesterday while surfing on the local train platform and realized that you are the only site I was browsing for. For a long time I’ve been lonely; this has been the bug in my life and you can be a real debugger for me now.

My life is an uncompiled program without you, which never produces an executable code and hence is useless.


You are not only beautiful by face but all your ActiveX controls are attractive as well.

Wonderful Japan...

 

1. THE CALM

Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY

Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

The One who Loves Us..

If you never felt pain, Then how would you know that I am a Healer?


SELF ESTEEM - Importance and Ways to Boost it

IS IT SO? THEN READ THIS ARTICLE THAT GIVES   YOU CONFIDENCE........ 

What Is Self-Esteem?

          To understand self-esteem, it helps to break the term into two words. Let's take a look at the word esteem (say: ess-teem) first. Esteem is a fancy word for thinking that someone or something is important or valuing that person or thing. 

Every Freedom in Life - Using Our Gift of Freedom

At this age... lots of dreams... dreams of coming out with flying colors...some remain just that... as dreams deep inside the heart. Now my parents give pressure for making me score high marks. I feel like I have an egg on my face every time I'm not able to attain my goal and am criticized for it. But only when my distance towards the goal starts decreasing do I rectify my mistakes. Parents give lots of freedom to us.... [Something we're fortunate enough for] I would illustrate my own experience of freedom and how many have little of it.

Holidays.... Everyone would enjoy holidays. My heart jumped in excitement when we all planned out for a trip. We went on a car journey..... with songs buzzing in my ears. My eyes enjoyed all of nature's bounties... The cloudy sky, chirping birds, green paddy fields, glittering butterflies around flowers... I admired each second.

Pursuing Dreams in School

If we dream of being a musician, artist or even a scientist, realizing those dreams while still in school is not that difficult. All we need are opportunities and dedication. But if we dream of something different – like doing some good for the society, it’s surely going to be one tough ride... But that’s exactly what I dreamt of.

Courage - Without it, Nothing is Possible - A Collection of Quotes

"Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid."  ~ Franklin P. Jones
I never used to show people that I'm afraid or sad or disappointed... Though my face reveals it very easily, I usually keep my mouth tightly shut about such kinda feelings. I believed what Franklin P. Jones believed - the lie that bravery is not showing your feelings to people around you. But I no longer believe that and I actually disagree with Mr. Jones about it. There are lots of things one can write about bravery, courage and fearlessness, but why bother, when many amazingly wise people have written it down already with their great command of the language, immortalizing their words forever? :)

Is India growing? The So-called 'Developed Cities'


Tall buildings touching sky, sophisticated awesome cars rushing on the roads.......people busy walking on roads, flooded roads with traffic jams, metro running in jet speed. This gives the outline of urban cities. Everyone dreams to live in this type of city, to have good education, to search a satisfied job....etc. Do you know how bad is ' so called ' good, developed city?

Even I was admiring the metropolitan cities because education will be best, apart from that i can even get my own satisfied jobs. Suddenly after my 10th class my dad was transferred to Bangalore, a metropolitan city.

Religion And Culture

My English teacher and I have identical motives – to help make a difference in our country, and sometimes, even our methods are pretty much the same. But often, [almost always] we have contradicting views about almost every single aspect about India. And we never, and I mean never, hesitate to discuss them, debate about them, almost argue with each other… not to see who wins, but to see who is right, and that’s always important for us.

This is one about discussion [sadly incomplete, due to my lack of access to a computer with internet connection] which we had in facebook. My English teacher [from here on, I’m gonna call her as ET] was all praise for the BJP for banning cow slaughter and I replied that their motives were communal and hence wrong. There began the debate. Somehow the discussion went over to the relationship between culture and religion, and set me thinking.

Problem: Exam Stress; Solution: Cancel the Exams

There was a lot of noise when the Human Resources Department considered canceling the 10th board examinations for students owing to the huge stress they induced in the students. I suppose now these exams for tenth standard students have been left to the choice of students in CBSE board [I’m not sure about the other boards].

Before I talk about what I think about canceling exams for tenth, let me share with you a little story:

Cricket and India [How far Patriotism is Related]

I’ve always had this sort of aversion to cricket since 2007, when India lost to Australia in the world cup… Not because team India lost, but because I found it meaningless – the whole of it. People cheered and praised the team if it won, but if it lost, they attacked them verbally, and sometimes even physically. Another reason I started disliking the game was because everyone seemed to think that wearing a dark blue team shirt and waving a flag was all that patriotism was about. So, I totally revolted at the sound of ‘cricket’ [I even started hating the insects]. But this World Cup has helped me get in touch with the truth.

Proud to be Indian - A Little Boy's Spirit

The orange-pink sky; the dusk was so beautiful. What a feast for my eyes.... we were waiting for a darshan of lord Ganapathy, Annegudde (near Udupi) Karnataka, when I was relishing the scene. After the prayers and offerings we lingered around the village enjoying each second of the scenery. Suddenly a boy with jet black hair, so lean for his age appeared before us. He pestered us to buy pens a cost of 10 rupees. We kindly rejected his offer, but then he said something to us which nearly pierced deep inside my heart.
