From now !

I wish this year wakes you up with kisses,

Drowned in lips pressed against your skin ,

Let all the wishes turn into kisses 

And let the year be like none other ! 

Wishing you all a lovely new year !!

With bike !

It's just a bike for others

But for me it's a ride for love 

I have loved all the speed breakers 

That feeling of hugging u tight 

And looking at you drive fast 

And wen u hold my jaw

I get my nerves out 

The dark roads and the bridges should have 

Seen the most romantic kisses of the world 

That second when you kiss me

The Heavens talk ,rain begins 

And the sky turns black 

I only recollect my eyelashes kissing 

It might just be a ride 

But for me I have lived every moment of my life in it 

And only your bike can give me those feelings ! ! 

#...

Every now and then I see a part of you I have never seen 

Birds can swim and fish can fly 

The road is alone and there is no one to arrive 

One of these days you realize watching me 

Well I tried to talk but I can't 

My soul is turned to steal 

This happens every time I feel to tell you how I feel ..

So if you ever love somebody 

You need to keep them closer 

If you lose grip of their body

You are falling deeper in love 

In love 

Deeper in love! 

Life ..

What is the secret of your  success ? 

Right decisions .

But how do you make right decisions ? 

Experience 

And how do you get experience? 

Wrong decisions .

This is how I conclude life ! 

Bounce

Stop using your past to gauge whether or not love is coming into your life. Stop looking back if you are really looking forward to having someone special one day. When you look back on your past, you should be looking back with a mindset of learning from your mistakes. You should be looking back remembering that what you have been through, will always aid you towards growing into a better person. Stop feeling like you are cursed or that you have bad luck because you have been through a few bad situations with a few bad people. All of us go through trials. All of us have been through a few things designed to break our spirit, faith and beliefs. However, life always gives us the gift of redemption and the gift of bouncing back. You could be hurting today and end up being happy tomorrow. Don't be so hard on yourself. Learn to be more proud, patient and positive as great things start to take place in your life. 

I??

Instead of asking 

Why they left ? 

Now, I would ask 

What beauty will I create in the place they no longer occupy ...

And will I ? 

Rewrite your life..

Decide who you would have been .Decide who you want to become and work towards becoming that. You can let go and start something new, you can build a life completely different from what anyone who knew you expects from you. It's your right - it is your life and you're the one who has to live it. No one else can.

Breaking the ties may be hard, but if the situation's extreme it may be the best thing you can do. Live your life by what you believe and accept the happiness that comes your way in real !!

It's  vital to understand what trustworthy life is ...

Fact of life

The whole value process is like depositing money into a savings account. All the things you do for the other person is the principal. That's not to be touched.

You can only start "withdrawing" value from the relationship once you've contributed enough to generate some interest. Trust me, I learned this the hard way !

You ?

While stress causes some people to crumble, mentally strong people continue to thrive in the midst of added tension. In fact, they view adversity as an opportunity for self-growth.Whether they're dealing with financial setbacks, health problems, or workplace difficulties, mentally strong people don't let stress drag them down

They accept that stress is part of life.

While some people waste time and energy thinking things like, "I shouldn't have to deal with this," mentally strong people know that setbacks, problems, and hardships are inevitableWhen stressful situations arise, they devote their efforts into doing what they can to move forward. Even when they can't change the circumstances, they know they can always take steps to improve their lives.They keep problems in proper perspective.They take care of their physical health.Mentally strong people recognize the importance of keeping their bodies in smooth operating condition. They recognize they won't be able to combat stress if they're worn out and running on empty. They exercise, get plenty of sleep, and maintain a diet that keeps them healthy.They choose healthy coping skillsWhile some people turn to alcohol, junk food, or other unhealthy vices to help them escape stress, mentally strong people choose to cope with discomfort in a productive manner. They allow themselves to feel uncomfortable emotions, like anxiety, fear, and sadness, head-on. They use healthy activities, like going for a walk or participating in a hobby, to cope with emotional pain.They balance social activity with solitudeSometimes, in an attempt to avoid facing problems, people fill their schedules with social activities. Others deal with stress by withdrawing from their friends and family. Mentally strong people, however, strike a good balance. They maintain a healthy social life even when they're stressed, but they also reserve time alone to be their thoughtsStress can cause people to feel like a victim of bad circumstances. But mentally strong people acknowledge that everything they do, from the time they wake up until the time they go to sleep, is a choice. They're willing to say no to things they don't want to do and they accept responsibility for their behavior.Mentally strong people don't necessarily see the world through rose-colored glasses their outlook is a realistic outlook  but they do look for the silver lining in tough circumstances. They recognize that good things can stem from stressful circumstances. Rather than allowing hardship to turn them into bitter people or helpless victims, they choose to use stressful circumstances to become stronger and better.

Birthdays in childhood wow .. Those were the best birthdays ever . Though it's not my birthday today am writing here because a boy came to my home to give the birthday sweets . I couldn't send him back empty so I gave him a packet of chocolates and a kiss 😍.I am a neat clean super boy look with perfect hairstyle and proper dress . The real feel comes in when all your classmates wear uniform and yourself colour dress . The birthday boy becomes the hero . Singing happy birthday in the assembly feels like giving an award....with all these thoughts waiting for my upcoming birthday 😝

Birthdays are special ...😎

They !

Most people only pay attention to the final product called success .They say that they cannot be like them because Luck has favored them.

But what most don't see is what they have overcome. The struggles,rejection,rumors,criticism,betrayals and the empty bank account !!!

There is only one difference between them and they 

 Who quits and who doesn't ! 

They have showed up everyday

They have learned everyday

They have improved everyday

They have fought like quitting everyday

They have become who they are today ! 

Keep fighting and your success will be spoken one day !

Ears for kids

This evening I was thinking about some kids who are facing many difficulties in their young age .We always think they are the happiest when we see them .They just have to eat ,sleep,study ,play vice versa.They need not make money, take care of family burdens,no need to pay loans and need not know what's happening around .We do think about our childhood days and wonder won't those days come back .

The truth is the kids these days are facing a major problem at home .A Kids world is surrounded by home and school.

Schools always follow a system so they have a set of rules to be followed by the kids but then at home it is not like that though discipline is important.

When your kids come home from school always listen to what they say.They will have million things to say.It might be a big thing for them but not for us.But still it's your kid and you need to know what they are saying and give ears .Let it be a complaint ,what they did in school, who got punishment, who did the home work.You are supposed to listen to them.The kids always need attention at home.

In this busy world everybody are busy with their own mobile phones chatting or working .You can chat at any time but if you don't listen to your kid he is never going to tell you anything ! 

Do find some time to have a dinner or lunch with your family in the same table and it will mean a lot .
Talk to your kids ..

God has given two ears to listen so much ...

If not both the ears listen with one ..that's enough 

Make your kids life beautiful 😍

A kid is a blessing ! 

Burj khalifa

A tower reaching for the sky 
The tallest in the world they say. 
The tiny country of Dubai 
is very proud they can display 

A master piece in steel and glass 
A building that must be world class 
A tower meant to demonstrate 
the power of this little State. 

Aim

Sir:Children to be successful in life an aim is a must.It propels us forward.

Children: An aim propels us! 

Sir:Tell me what makes you come to school everyday?

Children:PARENTS ! 

True man

The bags under my eyes tell stories,
just like the rings of a tree trunk.

One ring holds stories of the night shifts I worked ,Another holds a long night of loving someone ,But the deepest ones are from staying up all day ,to make my family happy .

But these will never go away....

Happens for some not me !

I had my money and my friend
I gave my money to my friend
I asked my money to my friend
I lost my money and my friend !! 

When mind runs

This is something that I scribbled in my diary 5 years back !

It's sleepless nights 

I could hear the traffic moving 

It's at this time I could think for myself

How cruel life has been 

It's like please god don't get my life in trouble 

But again the same continues 

How much can I bear ..stronger shoulders

I feel m too young to be this empty 

How could life be so cruel to me 

Accept the weird reality 

But at times it's the worst tragedy 

There is nothing other than happiness I need 

Life ditches at times without anything 

And leaves blank in hell 

Can't die or live 

The word I hate adjust 

No option left

I pray !!!

Clever Tin

Sam: I have found one rupee coin !

Tin:Its mine ! My father gave me a rupee coin this morning.

Sam:But I have found two fifty paise coins,not a one rupee coin.

Tin: Thats all right.when my coin fell it must have broken into two fifty-paise coins !!!

Motivational

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.
She started screaming out of fear.
With a panic stricken face and trembling voice,she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.
Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.
The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group.
Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.
The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.
In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.
The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.
When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach
responsible for their histrionic behavior?
If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?
He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.
It is not the cockroach, but the inability of the ladies to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed the ladies.
I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.
It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.
More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.
Lessons learnt from the story:
I understood, I should not react in life.
I should always respond.
The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.
Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of, just and right to save a situation from going out of hands, to avoid cracks in relationship, to avoid taking decisions in anger, anxiety, stress or hurry.

Love

I want to grow with you, to see how much we can thrive together.

I want to help you fight for your dreams, and see them come to life.

I want to be there for you, when it all seems too much, I want to be the voice that reminds you of hope.

I want to make you smile and laugh, to experience joy every day.

I want to be real with you, to open myself and lay down my armor.

I want quiet nights, filled with sweet nothings.

I want days filled with you, and I want to continue seeing you, in your weakest or in your strongest, I want to be there with you.

God

Look at the trees
And what do you see?
The beauty of God.

Look at the flowers
And what do you see?
The beauty of God.

Look at the sky
And what do you see?
The beauty of God.

Now, look in the mirror
And what do you see?
The beauty of God !!

Empty pocket teaches you life
A full pocket spoils you in million ways !

Next?

The past is the past for a reason
That is where it is supposed to stay
But some cannot let it go
In their heads it eats away

Until all their focus becomes
The person that they used to be
The mistakes they made in their life
Oh, if only they could see

That you cannot change what happened
No matter how hard you try
No matter how much you think about it
No matter how much you cry

What happens in your lifetime
Happens for reasons unknown
So you have to let the cards unfold
Let your story be shown

Don't get wrapped up in the negative
Be happy with what you have been given
Live for today not tomorrow
Get up, get out and start living

Because the past is the past for a reason
It's been and now it is gone
So stop trying to think of ways to fix it
It's done, it's unchangeable, move on

First Pastels

Oil pastels I loved it .I never knew that oil pastel painting would be such beautiful and easy to stroke.Its just that we have to know how to hold it and sketch.As I am a beginner I first checked YouTube and learnt how to paint simple ones.I had some canvas boards with me but as I am trying pastels for the first time thought to do it with normal drawing paper.I really wanted to draw a fish or a bird but thought it would be difficult and started with a big tree like a grade one child does in drawing period .Then I tried some scenary,mermaid,Radha Krishna,flowers ,a dark night and so on.The pictures have come out well ,not bad .I am planning to draw a beach , butterfly , boat and continue with my work.I don't know what to do with all the boards so I have decided to take it to my home town , frame it and hang .

Planning to gift some for my close friends ! 

Posting a cartoon and pencil sketch as well .

As I said painting is a beautiful language.You have to paint to know how it feels .

Eid

Eid  in Dubai is always an exciting time. Dubai, the city that never sleeps, is full of fun and excitement activities to indulge into during the Eid holidays .I would say people should visit Dubai during this period.The festival of food, colors, aromas,sales (eeee) goes on.The three days off was well spent roaming .It was a difficult task to reach Dubai from my home.Open the window anytime and its traffic all time .The first thing that I did was trying three different hotels . Should say that it was damn crowded but had some yummy food so that I can get some more energy to roam around.I couldn't find anybody sitting alone an eating .They have come with their families .The small babies were asleep.Look at any shop it was all about sale and crowd .I managed to peep in and buy some t shirts ,story books ,some fabric colors and some lipstick :)There were different cultural dance shows going on , Poster exhibitions,singing goes on  .So for me it was all about going out and roam as much as I can .I missed my sleep but once in a while that's ok . The perfumes wow ...every corner people were busy taking selfies with friends and families .I saw few people taking videos as well,guess they were tourists .Anyhow they have been in Dubai at the right time .I saw many Arabic movies getting released and people buying tickets .So,that's all I remember ..

A special thanks to the metro service which we had till 2:00 AM.

Hope you all had a great Eid too.

The month of fasting, charity, and gratitude is over for now .

Waiting for new year ! The fireworks :)

Just a working man

This morning while drinking Horlicks my head thought how does it feel for an ordinary man to go for work and save the family till the end of his  life .It seems to be nice when we see from outside but it's real hardship they go through.

There are two sides for a coin like wise here also .Just writing one side of it !

I am not sure whether I can portray what they feel but just putting in some of my views .

Firstly what came to my head is -BOYS hate COMPARISM !

Their life would be happy till 10 th or 11 th grade ,playing cricket ,roaming around the clock.A father who shouts all time an a mother who supports him .All his wishes have succeeded by the help of his mother....there is a saying mothers support son and fathers support daughters ! Ha ha ..

From 12 th grade his life starts .
Don't roam around here and there without studying .Sit and study !
Questions arised -when is your final exams ? Which group are you going to study ? Will you be doing post graduation ? Etc etc

Bugging a person with all these itself is pathetic I would say .

Now the result comes .The first statement. If you would have not roamed could have got more marks .Look at Naveen  eventhough he roamed and played with you he scored more marks .I would say marks doesn't matter  .I was an average student but then I was the first to get a job in my batch .Differs in others life .

Now he selects a bachelors degree course and has a happy life at college .Hope you all know how it would be .The most memorable days of life .

Next question -Do you have campus interviews ? You will get placed with good salary right ?
Now the real tension starts .Will I get a job with sufficient salary ? Will I be able to take care of my family ? Will I be able to live for my self ?

He completes college and might get a job ! If he gets its wow or else that's it .He will get to know the real world !!!

In my opinion I would say getting a job is not a big deal .What you do with that job matters ? Are you really happy with what you do ? Or you just earn to save your family ? Most of them fall in the second line .

Not every guy gets a job which he wanted to do and that is the worst feeling ever .For all who have succeeded in doing what they wanted a big kudos !

Then comes the salary part .. Searching another job ..roaming with file to each and every company .

His life goes on like that

In between of all these he would have got married having kids and probably 30+  in life .

He keeps thinking how will I keep my family happy ? He always wants others to be happy

Does he really do what he wanted ?
Did he buy anything for himself ?
How does he went off his feelings ?
Does he cry ?

It's difficult to be a boy ! Each and every boy is precious !Let them live for themselves .

Take care of them  ! They do have dreams ...

Happy fishes @ my home

What did i do this week end ?I spent a day in the ornamental fish shop near my house .I have 2 tanks in my house a rectangle one  and a bowl.Thought of adding some more small colourful fishes and some big ones.This Craze for fishes started from my home town .I remember me and my brother taking some empty bisleri bottles to the river next to my house and dip it and collect some small fishes and tadpoles and we leave it free in the well which is in our farm.And we used to put some bread and rice into the well for the fishes.Those memorable days :).We did have a tank with 70 fishes such as black,white,orange,red mole,tiger,angel,succer,fighter,gowra,cat fish,neon,Tetra,some guppies...goes on .

A motor wherein a boy pees :)We used to close the roof of the tank so that the fishes dont suicide :)

Though i don't have a well& a river here and i live away from my hometown i managed to have some fish tanks at my home.

Adding some pictures for you all
