While you are passing by a road, you see an old, dilapidated building that was probably somebody's house once. A family lived in there maybe. A young, newly married couple moved into that house a few years ago, spent lovely romantic days and nights. With the little they had, they as if magically transformed the house into a home. And soon their lives got even more beautiful with the cackle of a young child, then two then more. And so they spent their lives in their home sharing happiness and sorrows, pain and gain, tears and laughter- all in that one structure.

Now as you pass by, it doesn't even look close to a home. The building that used to be home is in ruins, shattered, all you can see is piles of rubble and a half broken staircase that once led into a beautiful room. What happened to the happy family that lived there? Where did they all go??

Life is similar to the old broken, dilapidated house. During one point of time all is going well. Things are just the way you planned and they couldn't get any better. Not like there are no tears or sorrows, but nothing so bad that you cannot handle. And then one fateful day everything falls apart, and you feel like that is the end. The beautiful room in your life is no more- it is in ruins. The people you held close to you, are not with you any more, the things that you thought would last forever, sadly end sooner than the others. That's when you find yourself at a dead end in your life and feel like nothing can be better than killing yourself.

After a few months you pass by the same dilapidated structure but it does not look the same. There are people working on it. It looks better now. Oh and look! there's a spiraling staircase this time. The house is being renovated, it is going to be freshly painted and will have a beautiful bedroom once more, pretty chandeliers will lighten up every room in the house and soon another family will move in and make it their Home.

And that is exactly what will happen to your life if you hold on despite all the pain and hurt and if you have the courage to pick yourself up and walk. Because some day your life too will transform with spiraling staircases and pretty chandeliers that will light you up. And then you will feel like you're Home.

Anything that's broken can be mended with Time.

Life Is Beautiful

At the hospital

                              I had been to a hospital today, with my sister who is not keeping well. But what I noticed there while I was waiting outside during her examination was funny . I thought I would write about the experience I had.

                       

 So, I was sitting in the waiting area just looking around, and what grabbed my attention there- the men! Men-young and old, who had accompanied their wives,mothers,friends; and even the male staff working in the hospital.

                           

 At a little distance from where I was sitting were three men. I'm guessing they were friends and one among them was meant to get a scan done. As they stood waiting for their turn,they were talking about everything else, mainly gadgets, but the reason why they were there . Unfortunately, I wasn't able to figure out which language they were conversing in till the very end,though I tried so hard.(I think it was Hindi or Telugu or Bengali...). Anyways,the only words I could hear and understand from their conversations were- I-Pads,I-Phones,Samsung 3s,Apple and so on!! In a hospital!! 

                          

Then in the other corner of the area where I was sitting was this man who had accompanied his wife. First of all his attire-a t shirt and shorts which looked like he wears them at home, and a pair of slippers. He receives a call in the middle of the appointment and so he gets out to attend it. Everything was fine until he started speaking on the phone. Either he had forgotten where he was or that is how he normally talks on the phone(which was so annoying). And there he was walking up and down the passage like he was at home and talking loudly like the other person was deaf. I think he has taken Idea's-Walk and Talk commercial very seriously. Fine,at least don't drag your feet while you walk and talk softly!

                       

 And there was also a young handsome guy trying to flirt with the nurse. And the male staff, just looking for a chance to talk to the lady patients. Need I write more?? ;)

Life is beautiful! :)

For Someone Special

Sometimes I wish I would just get one more moment with you

So I could tell how much I love you

And I would never let that moment pass

And I would never let you leave.

Every day I miss you a little more than yesterday

And in your memory I shed tears

I wish you were still here with me

But you left.

You were special,

You were everything good

Sorry for the times I misunderstood.

Now you are away from all the worries,hate and bitterness

You don't deserve any of it

In a way I'm happy that you left

You are safe and in a better place.

I Love You.

Life is Beautiful.

You wake up late,take a look at the clock

Late again!And you begin to rush!!

Brush your teeth,take a bath,

Skip your breakfast,in no time you're out;

He's there waiting for you.

 Reach your destination,yelled at for being late.

You begin to crib,feel sad about your sorry state

It's time for lunch,and you go out with friends;

He remains waiting for you.

Get back home,you feel so nice.

Spend time with your family,play some dice,

Eat your dinner,oh,so full!

Lights out,and you fall asleep.

He's still there waiting for you.

The passing of another day,

Once again you've forgotten to pray.

Prayer makes life that much more beautiful.

I'm Here For You

Ask for me when you need me,

I'm just a word away.

When your sad or lonely,

Or you've simply had a bad day.

 In the darkest of nights

Or when the sky is blue,

I'l always make you feel better,

And that's my promise to you.

You'l find  me in every person,

Everybody around you

Your dad,mum,your friend.

Without me,you cannot do.

I am simple to spell

With just three letters

When you put H,U,G together

You get me, a HUG.

 Il always make you feel better,

And that's my promise to you.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL :)

RUHI!

I have been waiting for this day for sometime now,it is finally here and it has been wonderful ! 

To see children grow up is such a treat. Today I have been witness to that amazing experience. My little niece,Ruhi,came down today with my sister. Though she was here just a few months back,she has changed so much-she's grown taller,her speech has improved and she doesn't tire of talking!(typical girl eh?) 

But most of all,she looks gorgeous!Her twinkling eyes,rosy cheeks and the silky soft curly hair..ahhh!!She is so Beautiful! 

I just hope and pray that she grows up to be a beautiful strong woman,just like her mother;that she grows in the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord and that she has all the success in her life!May God bless her.

So here it is.....Life is Beautiful!

 And it gets even more beautiful when you have children around you.

Stand a little stronger.Fight a little harder.Do not be a quitter.The wounds will heal.The scars will fade.Time is all it takes. Dont be sad  few are not friends anymore.Some people are not meant to stay.All you need to do is learn.Because everybody has something good in them anyway.
Hold on to your faith.
Hold on to what you believe in.
Don't hold grudges,dont be bitter.
Life is not worth it.
Have a kind heart,be a giver.

Respect.Care.Share.Value.Be Grateful.
                 LOVE!!!!

Because no matter what....Life is Beautiful.
