There are some questions that come to my mind, for which I am not able to find answers...here they are...
1) When we walk a thousand(not exactly) miles back home... y do we feel that the last few steps are taking much longer than the actual 999 mile journey? Similarly its easy to give 90% to anything and everything, improving our performance from 90 -100 % is the toughest task, why?

Unforgettable day in my life!
A get-together with a small group of my friends and we had great fun this day....
After a very long time we all got to meet and something tells me that its not easy for such a thing to happen again...All our friends, Al, Rak, Rah, Ir, Ka, Pr, Sa, Su,Ra and myself spent the evening together.
Birds of a feather flock together, but when they spread their wings to fly to new horizons they have to live apart even though they stay together in each n everyone's heart!
This post is dedicated to all my friends who made this day an unforgettable day in my life.

Are We Really Free?
Hi Guys n Gals of India
This is one of those silly questions that come to mind very often n I realised tht it made sense too.... Are we Indians really free?
Yes, we have freedom of speech, just to be criticised and exploited for wht we talk in public only to come back n appologize....is this freedom?
We toil day n night so that our family has a peaceful life n in the course loose all our peace of mind....is this freedom?
We work with all our effort n round the clock for our boss who happily spends his vacations all over the world...is this freedom?
When are we gonne be really free? Any answers?

So near n yet so far n so far n yet so near!
Why is it that when we r in our own country n native we hardly try to keep in touch with our dear ones and when we r in a far off land, tend to keep in touch with every hi-bye friend as well?
Distance makes the heart grow fonder or only in the absence do we feel their importance?
Still confused...
Hey friends,
Wherever you go, whatever you do, whomsoever you meet, you are always close to my heart!!!
I was, I am and I will be missing you all...

What does it mean to be a 25+?
Hi....
What does it mean to be a 25+?!
Right from my childhood I have always thought that a 25+ person is a very matured, sensible and experienced person, well settled in life, being a good citizen of the country and so on....
Now I look at myself n ask WHAT?!

Marriage
Marriage! I have always wondered why this word could mean a whole lot of difference in the life of an individual...thinking about it coudnt get me to any solution...so started writing this post...but i am sure that at the end of this I you will be able to read whats in my mind...
Marriage is love binding two people. Its about sharing everything about you with one person...more than sharing I feel it is accepting the other person as they are. You meet them, talk to them and decide that he or she is going to be your life partner and
thats the final decision. After that you can make no choice, no choice of making the person look better or look bad, or change the way that person presents themselves or anything about that person....it is only mere acceptance of the person as and how they are as that is what they were when you made the decision of making them your life partner... expecting the person to change is one of the main reasons why a lot of marriages break up... a lot of men assume that their wife will be like their mom or some other ideal women thay have met before and a lot of women assume that their husband will be like their father or brother or some gentlemen they had met and hence get depressed when they find that their partner is not so....see the basic fact is that no one can change their character and behavior for love and even if they do it will not be long before they come back to their usual selves...what each of us have to understand is that your partner has been the way he / she is all her life and that is the way they will be in the rest of the life too, only that they have chosen you to be their partner.....
So, once you have chosen the person, accept them as they are and that is pure love and that is what will make the marriage last....

Quarter Life Crisis
For those in their twenty-something's...
This puts it all into wordsperfectly. They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis."
- It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like.
- You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two,but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
- You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touchwith are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
- You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.
- You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis.But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.
- You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want.
- Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not.
- You are insecure and then secure.You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.
- You feel alone and scared and confused.
- Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
- You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meetanyone decent enough to get to know better.
- You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.
- One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
- You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.
- You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it.We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.
If you a twenty something person, be happy, cause you are not alone in the state of confusion!!!

A True Confession!
Dear Friend...
I was just cleaning up my closet when I discovered allthe priceless treasures that I had saved all theseyears…letters from long lost friends, slam books,greeting cards for all occasions are a few to state. Istood gazed at how much we have lost in this computerera. There is e-mail, chat and SMS and much more butthere is very little time
There is lots and lots of money but not much of value…
There are a lot of expections from others but we hardly deliver…
We always expect the other person to mail you so that you can reply in one line…
You get a lot of forwards and delete them instantlywithout a second thought but you do not respect the feeling of the person whosent it to you…
You are a member of a lot of groups
And you just don’t mail any of them….
If you happen to do atleast one of the above
Then you are not alone…
Life in this century is a lot of challenges…not justfor your knowledge and position but for the relationships that you share and maintain throughoutyour life.
I am sorry if I have done any of the above things toyou….
also I want to let you know that you are a unique person I treasure in my life and I am so very happy to have a friend in you….
Thanks for being there for me…
As always

Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but do not quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
