Un Bon Serviteur

I may be different than you,
but that doesn't make me bad.
When you tease and make fun of me,
it makes me very sad.
I may not be as smart,
or as attractive as you.
But I am still human,
and my heart can break in two.
I have special things about me,
I think you would agree,
If instead of laughing,
you would take the time to see.

I really loved this poem when I read it. Just sharing...

How bad can a goodbye be???

There's something about goodbyes that scares the hell out of me! They seem so permanent, and so irreversible! Yes, yes, I know people say things like: Absence makes the heart grow fonder... but then what about: Out of sight, out of mind?? Interesting.

How does one say goodbye to one they share a bond with, a history with? Tears arent a very good idea. Too dramatic! They seem to add to the tension and sadness. Hugs are nice, I guess, but not too clingy! Its always nice to say goodbye with a parting gift, sort of a forget-me-not kind of thing...

But its still going to be excrutiating... all this business of saying goodbye.

Anyway dear readers, let your loved ones know you love them when they are with you; dont wait for the goodbye moment! Take care you all...

Judging Jane

I judged too much today. When I pointed a finger at my friend, I pointed three back at myself. I realised too late the hurt I had initiated. I regret it to this minute. Experience is the worst teacher, it gives the lesson after the test!

Fight Club

My message for today is:

"A small cut is better than a deep wound"

Just think about it. Fight the fights that are worth fighting. Motivate yourself to win. And dont worry about the small cuts you may have to bear. These will heal sooner or later.

Culture Club

Hello Readers,

I have no profound truths and thoughts to share with you today! I would instead like to introduce to you a very interesting pakistan-based website. I personally feel this website caters to a variety of tastes. I also think that the rewaj.com forum helps the younger generation exchange their views values. If you have ten minutes to kill, do check it out(Click on the title to access the mentioned site).

To Sir, with love...

Father's Day... hmmm, let's see now... I think Shakespeare said it best, "It is a wise father that knows his own child". We all defy our fathers like their fathers were defied by them. But inside we love them and we respect them, and we always want them to be proud of us. However, somehow we spend most of our lives trying to figure each other out. We test each others limits, highlight each others faults and ignore the plus points. All I can say is, life has a strange way of making us put our feet in our mouths! Be nice to your fathers... and hope that you can bond better with your future children. We can't choose who our father is, but the choice to be kind and understanding, with a touch of love, is yours.

"It doesnt matter who my father was; It matters who I remember he was." (-Anne Sexton)

Stand By Yourself

Today was a pretty all-in-one kind of day... a little bit of romance, a little bit of tears, some smiles, some screams.... but at the end of it all, all the players came out clean! Some days the elements like to test us, test our spirits and our strengths. And it is at moments like these when we show our true colours to each other... and to ourselves. I liked who I saw inside me today. Being happy with who you are is an essential thing. Recognize yourself... and stand by you!

Dreamy Treasures

They say that it is better to be practical than to run after our dreams. Today I ran across a very interesting quote, "All the treasures lie in the sea. But for those who want safety, stay ashore". How true is that? I guess, it is great to be responsible and practical. However, once in a while some amazing thing happens in our lives, and it is at times like these when we must DARE TO DREAM...

One Way Lovers

A good friend once asked me, "If you had to choose, what would it be, spend your life with the man you love, or spend your life with the man who loves you?" It's been nearly four months now and believe it or not, I have still not managed to answer this question! Of all the emotions we feel and learn to feel during our lives, the most intense and complicated one is obviously love. Medical studies prove that a person in love may at some point go into a state of madness (clinical insanity) to prove and receive the love that he or she feels.... scary, huh? Coming back to answering the four month old question... Does it feel good to BE loved, or does it feel better TO love? I suppose for love to be and to survive it has to be both ways; two people who love each other and value the love offered by each other. One way love is meaningless no matter how strongly you feel it inside you. It can only come alive if the one you love returns your love. Just make sure the person you go clinically insane for is worth it!

To err is Human... to get even is Divine!

Hey we all get stabbed in the back every once in a while.... its horrible,right? I know! (Been there, felt that) But every once in a while it feels really good to not forgive and infact, stab back! So next time someone steps on your toes, bullies you, crushes your heart to fragments, or uses you like a doormat, I recommend: please get mad, and do get even. Being forgiving is all very nice and angelic, but really face it people we aren't angels, so why pretend?

Daddy VS Daughter!

It was another one of those "look busy, do nothing" kinda days when you just want to go through the day undisturbed, procrastinating to the limit!!! But then can you???? Nooooooooo! Cos Daddy dearest decides this is the day to unload all of life's greatest wisdoms on you, to deal with all the troubles life has managed to spin around your pretty little neck! Girls always make ALL the wrong choices/decisions in their father's eyes. It is (a) because you are a GIRL (b) because you think completely different from his generation, and (c) because you are infact, a GIRL! No matter how you try to make him see it your way he wont.... cos basically there isn't going to ever be a 'your way' and the best way out is to nod and smile frequently and not hurt his feelings or get your heart crushed.
