Love Hurts ...

This is so so true!! You are the most vulnerable in the hands of people that you love, you bare open your soul, and believe that you will be loved and cared for the same way in return.  Which is why, you have to be careful about the people you love.. If you don't choose wisely, you could end up hurt and betrayed, probably where the line " Love Hurts " comes from. 

Writing...

I am the kind of person who is always writing down lists, lists of things to shop, list of things to do, list of movies to watch, list of people to call... Basically I am a list kind of reason, and if I don't write down these lists, I tend to forget everything. Writing basically helps us to better memorise what we want to remember. It could be due to the education system we are brought up in, where we were taught to write down everything to build it into our memory.

With the change  in times, this writing though has become more of typing,  the paper has been replaced with the laptop / IPad / iPhone.  And the more this has happened, I realise that when I actually try to write with a pen on paper, my handwriting is not so much the same as it used to be, and it feels awkward to some extent.  Like you are meeting a long lost friend after a relatively long period of time. So anyways, I have decided to keep in touch with this friend of mine, - writing... Hope I will be able to keep my word! 

Love Paulo Coelho's writings

I really admire Paulo Coelho, and am really influenced by his writings. Here am reproducing something I read on his blog..

1 MIN reading: I have learned

by PAULO COELHO on JANUARY 21, 2012

(This text, which I found on the Internet, is attributed to me . I did not write it, but I think worth reproducing here)

I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them;

I’ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back;

I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

I’ve learned that you can get by on charm, for about fifteen minutes. After that, you’d better know something;

I’ve learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I’ve learned that no matter how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take it’s place.

I’ve learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re downhill are the ones to help you get back up.

I’ve learned that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry.

I’ve learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I’ve learned that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to doesn’t mean that they don’t love you with all they have.

I’ve learned that maturity had more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.

I’ve learned that your family won’t always be there for you.

I’ve learned that no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while.

I’ve learned that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to forgive yourself.

I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I’ve learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I’ve learned that just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other. And just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do.

I’ve learned that we don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I’ve learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I’ve learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt and you will get hurt in the process.

I’ve learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don’t even know you.

I’ve learned that it’s hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people’s feelings and standing up for what you believe.

Add Responsibility

Take responsibility for something, somebody... For anything, anybody. It could be a small thing like grow a plant, keep a pet, or something huge like volunteer for some cause or adopt a baby. Basically, responsibilities help us have a sense of fulfilment and joy, they give us purpose and focus in life.  It helps us to develop ourselves and feel good about life.  And of course if you believe in karma, it adds to your good deeds. So we all should add some responsibilities in our life !!

Sleep like a baby

In our life, sleep is more important than even food, and yet why do we try to compromise on sleep to get other things done. In today's hectic world, sleep is the top loser. We feel, we can get more accomplished if only, we sleep an hour less. This is not so.

On an average we need around 8 hours of sleep, to rest, recover, replenish ourselves. It helps us to focus on our tasks and gives us more energy during the day.

So what we all need in today's fast paced life is an alarm to remind us to go to sleep and fortify ourselves, as much as an alarm to wake up.

Good night lovely people.. Zzzzzz....

Mornings are a blessing!

Good Morning...... Have a lovely day,



Everyday, try and do something that really makes you happy, like listen to a song, go for a walk, bake a cake, tickle and hug your kids..... It will keep a smile on your face, for the rest of the day... 

The Rubik's Cube

Life is like a Rubik's cube... Never perfect. The more you try to solve it, the more messed up it gets. And, if somehow you manage to solve it, and it is perfect for a moment in time, you are tempted to mess it up again.
