Miss you still..

" I try hard to get over you,
The memories we share,
The times we spent,
Our dreams..
I feel like I have forgotten US..
But then a little thing
I see, I say or I hear..
Reminds me of you
And it hurts too bad..
I wish i could forget you
Like we never happened..
I"m striving hard to gain back
My strength you drained off me..
I wish we never happened...
I hate that I miss you still.."

Memories!

You walked into my life
Making it ours
You changed even the littlest things about me
Tried making me the best.
And then,
You walked back out..
Leaving memories,
That are locked safe in my heart and mind
Which I preserve and cherish.
The smile that comes up when I think of those
And the tiny drops of tears..
Will always keep you alive within me
And I will always carry that picture of you in my mind,
The memories of us belongs to me
And I'll forever own you there.

WHY???

She was smart and witty, had big dreams and was working towards achieving them..A star she was.. but then, they had to move out from the place they lived in for years.. She being a teenager couldn't take it up..She knew it wolud be really hard to make new friends and will take time to adjust with the whole new scenerio,but she had no other option other than agreeing to leave..She felt terrible,screaming her feelings within herself..

She started her high school again but didn't enjoy or study like she did at home..She finished her schooling and was in university She buried and gave up her dreams because she was forced to do it..She couldn't tolerate but was pressurized and no other option than to do it for her parents dignity!

She had to manage with classes,work, and culture which was the worst of all.The way she studied at home was diffrent and she was accustomed to it..but now it was whole new thing she couldnt cope up. she was lost and lonely no one to guide her except for God. She fought back, tried making friends but the culture they belonged to was different that made the whole situation worse again! she was helpless and the pressure from the society they lived in added to it! She still is in a mess..

Just has the questions on her mind but never found answers for them..She probably might never find the answers..
Why force someone to do something they dont want to? Why cant people follow their dreams?? Why do they have to do this? WHY??

Survivors...

Life aint an easy game,
Only the strongest survives,
The weak lays behind..
Heart breaks are compliments
To the strong
To show us we are worth more,
It binds our strength together
To fight back and show the World
Who we really are!! :)

COST

The cost of everything differs from place to place. Let me begin with "cost of living ". The best way I can describe this is by comparing the cost of living in India and Perth. To me, life in India was once expensive, but not anymore..when we first came to Perth, we would mentally calculate the cost of everything in Indian Rupees! I know it's funny , but my mum would even convert the cost of a carton of milk to Indian rupees!! Today, one AUD is 42 Indian Rupees! Wow! Isn't that great?? But, with a dollar here I can only buy a frozen coke. While in India , if I had 42 rupees, I could have eaten three good meals!! Five people can lead a contented life back in India with the money we earn here! And similarly, there are places like Zambia where the cost of living is even lower.

Cost is not all about money! It is sometimes more about the price you pay for a quantity including time and love.

I am not writing this article just because I had been asked to but because I have always found great pleasure in penning down my thoughts rather than saying them aloud! The time spent on anything that you are interested in doing is the cost that you pay for it. The more you pay, the more you get! I mean , the more the time spent on doing something , the more perfect you become in it! Similarly, the more time we spend with God, the happier and more contented we see our lives become. So watch how you invest your Time!!

Love , I believe is the one thing without which none of us would be able to live! Without love the world would have remained dark. Without God's love there is nothing created. But even He had to pay with His life. But love doesn't keep a record of cost. Often we are willing to give up anything for someone or something! Here is life's undeniable truth - " THE COST PAID LOVE IS THE HIGHEST".

ENVIRONMENTAL COST

GLOBAL WARMING, this is definitely not an unfamiliar term especially in the recent past. How did this begin? Where did it start? What is the price that is being paid? Did we ever care to think about this!!?? It all began because we are plain careless and unconcerned about our planet, our fellow human begins and every living thing around us. This is indeed selfish. What more will it take to have us realize the consequences of our actions or the indelible mark they leave on our future?

Talk about designer wear, Mink Coats and other 'look-at-me-I'm important' goods. I wonder if animal rights and law enforcement officers have been successful with reducing the desire to own exotic animal skin products. I am aware that in several communities, similar to what I have observed in India, festivities often involve rubber and plastic products being burnt in a bonfire releasing toxins and contaminating the air around. What are we celebrating? Ironically, people wonder why so many suffer from breathing/respiratory problems!!

I fear that we are leaving behind us a steady trace of toxins in spite of warnings that the earth is falling through our hands. The toxins of stubborn greed, the lack of responsibility and failing to see the significance of individual action are the ones I fear the most . We seem to have surfaced after the recession. What have we won or achieved?

What is left for us to enjoy?

The cost of our luxury is being paid by millions of innocent lives of animals, people and plants! If we continue living selfishly, we will soon be left with nothing authentic and healthy...there will only be a sea of harsh reminders of a beautiful world that could have been saved we would be left with a remnant generation, which tells of the groaning world that once brought inspiration to music and art. Can we afford the loss of this power? Isn't this cost a little too expensive?

Why let others decide your costs? Stand up and take charge.

If you have always passed the buck so far, take your chances now - make a change and do it for love.

The Wonderful One

"His Majesty is the one I adore,
The beautiful God above
He fills me with his strength
And wraps me in his love
Protecting me with his shield
He takes me as his child
Guiding me through the way
Sitting beside the father
Pleading for my fault
The faithful one of all
He saves me from my fall
The creator of all
He is the unchanging and the awesome one of all."
