Once upon a time..!

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed their boats and left the island, except Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,“Richness, can you take me with you?”Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!”“I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.”“Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her. Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and over joyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?”“It was Time,” Knowledge answered.“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered,“Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is..!

Happy Valentines Day

One of the least romantic days of the year is Valentine's Day. Yes you heard me correctly. The majority of men act like robots, purchasing flowers and chocolate for their sweethearts because that is what everyone else is doing. Many people celebrate the day out of obligation rather than celebration.


Valentines are people who
Are willing to be flowers,
Letting us enjoy their beauty
Even if for hours.
No Valentine hides from the sun,
Though sometimes lost in light.
If you love them, they just open,
Not unhappy to be woken
Even in the night.


Love has no desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires;
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.”
These few words truly capture the real meaning and essence of the beautiful gift endowed upon us by the Lords called love. Love is one strong emotion that consumes every person during their lifetime. Nothing in this world is considered purer and greater than true love and many romantics in history like the Greek port Sapho, Romeo and Juliet and the Indian emperor Shah Jahan have dedicated their entire lives to illustrate the fact. To honor and celebrate this beautiful human emotion, Valentine’s Day is celebrated on the 14th of February every year.

An Imperfect Language:
The problem is that we simply don’t have enough words for love in the English language. We have “like” which is just watered-down and kinda lame. We have “adore” which is definitely limited to romantic love and children. But what about the love you have for your girlfriends (or guy friends)? What about the love you have for your parents? For you children? For your crazy Uncle.? For your pitbull Spike? For your job? For yourself? What about the love I have for you, most of whom I’ve never met? Why don’t we have language for these feelings? We could try rewriting the language to more closely reflect the way Eskimos talk about snow, but hey- it’s not my place to reconfigure the language of Shakespeare. So for now, we’ll have to stick to what we’ve got.


Say I LOVE YOU Out Loud:
Let’s just do it, Express your love to those you care about. Say it to your family. Say it to your best friend. Say it to yourself in a mirror. Say it to the Universe. Practice saying it until it rolls off your tongue. Who doesn’t want to live in love? And hey- it’s Valentine’s Day. Do it just because. Do it freely. Offer love like hot tea on a cold day. Nurture others with your fresh, beautiful spirit. Don’t be shy. They want it. I swear- they want it, even if they look askance and change the subject. Expect nothing in return. Just live in love. And watch what happens.

That little disclaimer aside, I'd love to wish all of you lots of love today. I love you.

How much do you make an hour..?

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON : "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD : "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
SON : "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD : "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
SON : "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD : "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."

"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"


The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."


The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 and he really didn't ask formoney very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.

"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the Rs.50 you asked for." The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

Share this story with someone you like....

But even better, share Rs.100 worth of time with someone you love. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close ! To our hearts..!

WORDS OF WISDOM:

-->Share some time this weekend with someone special.
-->Always leave loved ones with loving words, it may be the last time you see them.

This is the real love

It was a gloomy Saturday afternoon. A flock of birds was spending great time searching for food and playing on the main road. Out of the sudden, a big truck sped through... sad thing had happened again.


Birds can feel too. Although this bird had already died, another bird flew over to her immediately, just like a family member, unable to accept the truth.


Not long after that, another car stormed in causing the dead bird's body to whirl with the wind. The spouse noticed the movement. As if she was still alive, he quickly flew beside her again.


He stayed beside her and yelled ... "WHY ARE YOU NOT GETTING UP..!?"


Unfortunately, she's no longer able to hear him. In the meantime, he's trying to lift her up.


He, of course, was unable to bear the burden. Another car soon passed by. He quickly flew off. Once the car had gone, he came down again.


Although other birds told him its useles, he never gave up. He was trying his best to lift her up to see her flying again. Another car passed by, her dead body whirled again as if still alive and trying to fly.

He had used all of his energy, however...

The photographer said he couldn't shoot any longer. The photographer was so worried that the living bird was going to get hurt by passing cars. So he picked up the dead bird and left it at the roadside. The live one still lingered at a nearby tree as if crying with his singing and refused to leave.

Do humans have the same feelings nowadays? I wonder...!!!

I Forgot..!

I forgot what life is all about...
I forgot what it meant to cry...
I forgot that pretending to be happy
Doesn't make you happy...
And that pretending to be smart
Doesn't make you smart...
I forgot that you can't just forget the past
In fear of the future...

I forgot that you can't control
Falling in love...
And if you really do fall in love,
Then you can't make yourself fall
OUT of love...
I learned that I can love...

I learned that it's okay to mess up...
And it's okay to ask for help,
And it's okay to feel like hell,
I learned it's okay to complain and whine
To all your friends for a whole day...

I've learnt that sometimes the things
You want most,
You just can't have,
I've learnt that the greatest thing
About life isn't the parties or the hook-ups..!

My Treasures

I find things I treasure the most
Are friends I made in life,
Those precious few who on the way
Shared all my joys and strife.

Their kindly words and helping hands
When troubles had set in
Renewed my strength and gave me hope
As faith was wearing thin.

They also knew the brighter side
Of picnics when it rained;
And soaking wet, we journeyed home,
A closer friendship gained.

At times we would just sit and talk,
Our secret whims to share.
We spoke of all our hopes and plans,
Unburdened all our cares,

Yes, these friends are treasured people
And treasured memories to;
Like lamplight in the waning day,
They keep my footsteps true.

What though these years of ours be fleeting?
What though the years of youth be flown?
I'll mock old Tempus with repeating,
"I love my love and her alone!"

And when I fall before his reaping,
And when my stuttering speech is dumb,
Think not my love is dead or sleeping,
But that it waits for you to come.

So take, dear love, this little token,
And if there speaks in any line
The sentiment I'd fain have spoken,
Say, will you kiss your Valentine?

Love Quote

"Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself."

"I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you."

"For, you see, each day I love you more,
Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow."

"Love is an attempt to change a piece of a dream world into reality."

"Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically - to those who hardly think about us in return."

"I'm not ashamed of wanting someone to love...because I had it once...and it was everything."

"Faith, Hope and, Love but one of the greatest of these is love"

Love is the greater measure, it prevails above and beyond all things. The one thing that I have been able to count on in times of trouble is love it has become and, still is being formed as the most important quality I have ever had. Now, a lot of people perceive when I say "love" they believe I mean friendship, a love between a man or a women something like that but, love is actually more than that, it is the most important attributes to discipleship because it exalts above man now more than anything I don't want to sound like a theologian or, a scribe or pharisee. The Lord has came through my life in supernatural power and has intervened between death in my life and, all I want to do is explain love in the manifested form as it came into my life and set me free.

It dies like that

It's night or day?
That's moon or sun?
Well, anyway,
I have to run.
I see the tears.
Don't cry, my eyes.
I feel my fears,
I feel them rise.
I have to go,
I know it now.
Let's end this show,
Just tell me, how?..
Relax, forget,
Love's just a bird,
She dies like that,
Without a word

The World’s Most Beautiful

I’d give anything to see the sun set on the horizon,
I’d do anything to gaze at a full moon in the night sky;
Even a rainbow would make me smile,
And I’d love to swim in crystal clear waters
Of an untouched sea;
Sometimes I’ll see a shooting star,
And try to gaze from afar,
All the diamonds in the night sky;
The mist on the mountains is breathtaking,
As is walking in rainforest;
To see cascading waterfalls I’d do anything for,
As to stand on the highest peak in the world,
And look at the sights below;
I’d love to soar on wings above the clouds,
Across the bluest skies;
I’d do anything to see
All the beautiful things in the world,
Like a red rose blooming in the Sahara,
Like a river twisting through a dusty land,
All the beautiful things in the world;

But I also know I am looking at
The world’s most beautiful creation,
Every time you smile,
And every time I look into your eyes.

- Muhammad Edwan Shaharir -

You are friendly, kind and caring
Sensitive, loyal and understanding
Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there... yes that's you.

Special, accepting, exciting and wise
Truthful and helpful, with honest blue eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

You're one of a kind, different from others
Generous, charming, but not one that smothers
Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game
But not just another... in the long chain.

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold
Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old
You'll always be there, I know that is true
I'll always be here... always for you.

Crush and Love Quotes

I gave you the whole sun and stars to play with. I gave you eternity in a singal moment, strength of the mountains in one clasp of your arms, and the volume of the seas in one impulse of your soul ... I have given you the greatest of all things; and you ask me to give you little things. I gave you your own soul: you ask for my body as a plaything. Was it not enough? Was it not enough?

I think that I might fly away, in my hot air balloon,
And hide from worldly worries on the dark side of the moon;
There’s but one thing I need before I float into the blue:
I need a sky companion and I want it to be you.

We’ll fly beyond the storm clouds and we’ll watch from up above,
I’ll cover you in rainbows as we feel each others’ love;
You’ll shower in the stars at midnight in our special place,
I’ll dry you with a comet’s tail and kiss your beaming face.

Dreamy drifting panorama, changing every day,
Every night your loving smile will be my milky way,
The moon will wane before us, sailing there in heaven’s height,
For nothing else can challenge our love’s everlasting light.

Venus shining on us, glowing soft at our devotion,
Our daily drifting dalliance in love’s celestial ocean,
I’ll write you lovers’ poetry, and you will be my muse,
Orion and Andromeda will oversee our cruise.

We’ll sleep with clouds as pillows, maybe steal an angel’s wings,
Then fly as magic lovebirds, or slide round Saturn’s rings,
And should we tire of drifting and the stars all floating by,
We’ll hook onto a meteor and soar across the sky.

Will you consent to be my mate on our celestial ship?
I’m ready, heart all packed with love, to last us for the trip,
Take my hand and step aboard, we’re heading for the sun,
We’re flying till we find the place where our two souls are one.

- Graeme King -

My tears splash against the ground,
Like a heart when its shattered,
These broken tears fall without a sound,
Not like it even matters.

I'll wait as long as I need for you,
Because I know your worth it,
Right now your mending your heart with glue,
Not all the pieces will perfectly fit.

I know when your picking flowers,
It takes longer for you to be there,
After each moment I always wait a bit longer,
But thats the consequence I'll have to bear.


Its only fair
I'll just wait for my day.

.....


Take your time with that glue,
And you can go pick the flowers,
I'll just have my feelings and I'll wait here,
Whether it takes days, or hours.

Love is like a mustard seed

Three sleek black cars drove down a dirty muddy road. On each side stood trees, just sitting there so still so spooky. The cars had tinted black windows so seeing the people inside was impossible. A man inside the car in the middle relaxed on the leather. "Relax." He told himself. "Billy and his team are gone the team had them taken care of." But still the man felt uneasy he flicked his fingers at the guard next to him. The guard flinched "yes?" "I want you to call my team to see if the job has been done." The man ordered. The call didn’t last long the guard quickly hung up. "Sir Billy and his men got away." The man gasped "They could've told the government that we're en-route from the warehouse." At that moment there was a screech of brakes and a sound of crushed metal. The man looked out the windshield the car in front was crushed by a bulldozer. "Back up!" The man ordered the driver at that second machine gun fire erupted.

The driver slumped dead in his seat. The guard o n passenger side got out and fired his weak firearm. He was quickly shot through the head. Blood splurted from his head. The guard got off and tried to protect the man but got shot in the back. "No Viekal!" The man shouted but the guard Viekal died. His eyes shut very quickly. The man was scared he reached for the dead bodies firearm but was stopped by a voice behind him. "Freeze!" The man raised his hands and turned around to see the big troublemaker working for the government "Billy." The man gasped.
