some quotes:

It's not hard to die when u know u've lived... so just live to the fullest! (sm movie perhaps ‘twice upon a time’)

My heart is a river..

My heart is like a river...
It flows it's own course.

The good and the bad comes
it mixes in and flows through with it..
but it doesn't change its basic elements.
Its true nature is to free flow and to take its own course.

Nice lyrics: Peggy Lee, soundtrack Bernard and Doris (perhaps from a wise experienced free spirited heart...)

I love the way you're breaking my heart
It's terribly, terribly, terribly, terribly thrilling
I love the way you're breaking my heart
Although you're gonna ruin it
It's heaven while you're doin' it
I love the way I feel when we kiss
You're terribly, terribly, terribly irresistible
Sigh to me, and lie to me, you really know how
It's gonna hurt tomorrow, but it feels so good now
So darling, just keep playing your part
Take your time and really finish the things that you start
'Cause I love the way you're breaking my heart!

Little moments in life..

Some moments that I cherish…

Warm sunshine touching my heart, kissing my shoulders on a soft ticklish wintry morning

Sipping hot, boiling green tea and feeling it’s each granule sink into your senses.

The Beautifully lighted house and the markets buzzing with people (and there families) for Diwali.. the season silently whispers some beautiful stories of happiness..

A ray of hope, enthusiasm

A spark of curiosity, inquisitiveness in my student’s eye when I leave the class

A stranger’s happy smile/ greeting

My faith in me.. When it bounces back to me like a little naughty kid with mischief in eyes and lot of energy

The way one can be so stupid being in love!


Few things that annoy me…

Loud nonstop honking to over take.. what’s your problem? why are you yelling..

My faith vaporizing leaving me lost without positivity

Noise... Someone nagging and complaining all the time.. spare me, can I mute the volume??

Last not the least The way one can be so stupid being in love ;-)

All Growth Demands Destruction...

Ever tasted Failure?
- Bitter, spiteful, despairing, disappointing are the causal- effect adjectives that we relate to the word… Failure. We believe Failure to be an adversary…
But is it so?
lets imagine that we were all blessed with a 100% success rate and none of us could fail….how would that have been? What kind of life would have we lived had man never failed in life…
Umm if you ask me, we would perhaps have been still be living in the Stone Age, hunting for food being our major activity schedule.
Getting pretty much what was needed, would have kept man satiated with what he got, never exploring what he could create. Had all his hunting expeditions given him enough kill (due to the ‘blessing’ that he couldn’t fail..) he would have never starved, he wouldn’t have ever bothered to look for resorts to store food and to grow food for himself..& further & further.. to the 21st hi tech world that we live in.
It’s is somewhat true that our achievements as a society/ as a civilization are somewhere attributed to the failures of our prev. generations. It’s so human to loath failure, which makes it challenging for us to beat the odds come what may. We give it the hardest push; extract the best within us, from our surroundings just to rescind the slap of a failure. Amalgamating the best efforts from within and surrounding always results in betterment, growth and development.
I don’t think success is attributed to failure.. For some it’s a flying start they don’t have to be bashed by a severe failure to achieve. So how can we attribute it all to failure? If it is all about being ‘successful ’we needn’t have to have taste failure for that. But there’s a difference…. And the difference is as much as say- being served a lavish luncheon w/o even working for it.. w/o earning it for urselves.. or starve the whole day and work your ass to get a meal!
So if we really introspect in a way"success” impedes growth because it satiates a person where as failure assists it!
That’s why we may say “All GROWTH DEMANDS DESTRUCTION” (to grow destroy within, wht u r, wht u have achieved in past, but just start afresh...)

"I think therefore I am"

Quoting Rene Descartes, “I think therefore I am”…
The statement institutes a strong interrelationship between ‘Res Extensa’ (extended substance) and ‘Res Cogitans’ (thinking substance)
Everything evolved from an atom…but what makes Human a civilization, ruler/caretaker of earth and everything evolving on its facade is ‘Res Cogitans’ (thinking substance). Our grey matter enables us to feel, think, express and dwell upon.
‘Xpress’ that’s what I concerned out here, which is why I thought of starting to blog, so as to Xpress feelings, thoughts and inspirations that I dwell on!
Therefore I’ll christen my blog as “Imprints of my Muse”
