BUT.....

BUT we all wanna go abroad ..atleast once ..wanna be foreign return..wanna have a honeymoon in switzerland. awsome places ....isnt it.

we get carried away by the life style of the west...try to inculcate that into our own lifes...we love the Barristha coffee..we love the DIET coke and HAWAI PIZZA..we would die for a bottle of JACK DANIELS Scotch...hmm i can see few mouths watering.

But truth is......Now am abroad..in a beautiful place in europe. rich lifestyle, everything organized, every one taking care of his bussiness, clean roads...clean and fresh air...but i still miss INDIA. i miss the 1/2 tea....i miss the pakodas and bhajji sold at road side thelawalaas, i miss the KF beer with friends..i miss the cigaretes i shared with them ...i miss the road side toddy shop ..i miss the comments we passed on the girls at ITPL...i miss the friday night movies at local movie theatre with the worst DTS ever...i miss the huslle bussle for a rajni movie release...i miss the bike ride on ringroad...i miss having kara bath and sevpuri...i miss my bus journey from bangalore to trivandrum...(i used to pray that a girl would sit with me and most times it would be some old nut )...i miss parotta and beef at madiwaala...i miss looking at beautiful chiks at garuda and forum..i miss the late night cofees with my friend at the army club(RSI, near MG)....i miss the walk to the kempfort shiva temple on saturdays...(haha not always being spiritual...but could meet some beautiful homely girl...mummy se milane waali types)......i miss the FABindia outlets(i know one girl-one of my best friends who is also a fabindia fan...i know she would be missing it too)..i miss cooking food for my roomates.........

I MISS MY FRIENDS ...MISS MY PEOPLE ....MISS MY COUNTRY...

walk away holding your tears

Sometimes you got to smile and walk away holding your tears and pretend you r ok. It happens but life goes on. Our reason for living is not in the things we acquire, but in the collection of memories, loves and friendships we gain along the way. Do you ever get that feeling where you don't want to talk to anyone & you don't want to smile & you don't want to fake being happy but at the same time you really don't know what's exactly wrong either? One mistake can ruin your life, but it depends on how you take it, you can take that mistake and turn it around and learn from it. Have courage. When u says I love u don’t just say it because u think u r in love because if u don’t really mean it u will only end up hurting the person that u say u love. Sometimes people have hurt us. We ask ourselves, "Why me?" I say, "Why not me?" The things we go through in life happen for a reason and help prepare us for the next step in life. Have faith in yourself and anything you want will happen. Always go forward, don't go backward." We could all take a lesson from crayons, some are bright, some are beautiful, some are dull, some are short, some are tall, and some have weird names. But they all have to learn to live in the same box.

Its great to surf on those waves if you know that the lifeguard is there to help you, but what if the help is rendered to someone else at your expense………..Hmm now the situation looks dicey. Well don’t bother it’s not the end of everything…you dint start the surfing thinking that you would require help. You have the choice of either drowning in the upcoming waves or try to cry out for help (try the second option though even that isn’t going to help…coz mostly cries are left unheard).
Now you have another option that most of us have but don’t realize. You got to help yourself. Now the question is how…come one wait be patient am giving the solution………………………….
Since you have encroached into unknown territory you got to bail out your self. Slow down on your pace and swim back to the shore and make a promise to your self not to venture into unseen waters with some untrustworthy life support.
Love is also like unseen waters…looks calm and beautiful like the sea. But you got to be careful with the undercurrents. They can topple you off the surf board. There are few surfers who manage to get life support when they are caught of guard but everyone isn’t that lucky.
There are another group of people who never venture into such extreme sports but are happy with off shore games. They have a smooth trouble free life, but the worth of a trouble free life is valued and enjoyed only by one who has dared to go on the surf board with an untrustworthy life guard.

Appreciating Our Past
It is easy to be negative about past mistakes and unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at ourselves and our past in the light of experience, acceptance, and growth.
Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons.
Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.
Today, God, help me let go of negative thoughts I may be harboring about my past circumstances or relationships. I can accept, with gratitude, all that has brought me to today.
