Friendship

Friendship....
is not about....
how long you know a person
what race, religion or nationality you are
how rich or poor you are
is not even about...
what languages you speak
it's simply about...
being comfortable with each other
it's about...
a special bond and feelings
it's about...
being caring, loving and understanding
it's about...
sharing, respecting and tolerating
it's about...
correcting, motivating and guiding each other
and there are many more
last but not least...
trusting and being honest.
I am truly glad...
I have found all those in you.
Thank you my friends.

Fated~ 21st. Wedding Anniversary~ 2nd. June
30 minutes gone
waited in anxiety
60 minutes gone
started to worry
90 minutes gone
waited and waited
120 minutes gone
total stranger appeared
"He wants to talk," my sister said
tongue completely tied
a long silence......
eyes shied away
thank you mirror mirror on the wall
saw the stranger's reflection
gathered the courage
gained the confidence
uttered a few words
voice trembled, I mumbled
what......happened?
why.......late?
"Caught in the traffic," he said
why......you came?
"I like the question," he said
I smiled
I started to laugh
he too
"Wait a minute," he said
" I am staying for lunch," he said
I was confused
I didn't know what was in his mind
"I like her," he said to his mum
no invitation
no sign
no insistent
no dream
it just happened
"Love at first sight," he said
first experience, new experience
"I feel the same," I said
21 years ago......
arranged marriage that's how it started
sweet memories forever.

Silence of you...

I felt it 
so much 

though I know
the reasons

I just couldn't 
help it

for the thought 
of you

always 
in my mind.

It hurts a lot....
when a loved one ignores you
it really hurts...
when a loved one avoids you
it truly hurts....
when a loved one keeps a distance 
from you
and....
it deeply hurts....
and....
it hurts even more....
when a loved one refuses to respond
as how things used to be

Death

Sitting next to my loved ones
Witnessing the weeping and crying
Trying to console and convince
But....of no use
Invisible to the naked eyes
Only soul am I
Watching my own body
Surrounded by loved ones.l

Remembering MH370

8th. March 2014
a tragic incident
awaken the whole world
the pain and agony
you went through
is beyond everything
my heart goes out to all of you
17 days of unsolved mystery
finally came to the end
piercing pain in my heart
and all loved ones
may your souls rest in peace
my heartfelt condolences
to all family members, relatives and friends
oh God so kind and loving
give them the strength 
to accept the reality.
~remembering MH370~

A pair of mystical eyes
but......
full of sorrows
a pair of humble eyes
and.....
full of hopes
whenever......
I look into your eyes
in my heart
a kind of sadness deep inside
sometimes.....
I just wonder WHY

The moment I mentioned about him

About him coming back into her life for good

I saw her eyes sparkled with excitement

I saw the most enchanting smile on her face

At that very moment I realized

How so deep she is still in love with him

And……….

How so painful it is for her

to just let him go

And………

How hurting it is for her

To see him moving on with another girl

I know my friend…….

It is not easy though

But………

Do not worry my friend………

God has a better plan.

 Last night, as I was going through all my old mails and greeting cards, I spotted this beautiful and memorable gift. It was sent to me by a very dear and special friend. It has been 9 years since I received this beautiful gift. I still preserve and treasure it very much. The messages on the gift:-

" THANKS FOR BEING A GOOD FRIEND
THANKS FOR THE CARDS
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORTS
THANKS FOR THE CALLS
THANKS FOR BEING NICE
HOPE YOU LIKE THIS ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS"


My dear friend, I wish to convey the same messages to you and they are deep from my heart. Last but not least, I just wish to respond to the last line "HOPE YOU LIKE THIS ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS"My dear friend, the flowers maybe artificial but our friendship is "genuine".
Thank you for the beautiful friendship. God Bless.

(Reposting it as it means a lot to me)

Life........

a piece of plain canvas
some colours are needed
to colour the life
some touches are needed
to give life to the lives.
( It's a repost)

Am not angry 
am not mad 
because I know....
no one is perfect
no one is pure
but....
am hurt
extremely hurt
easily hurt
because....
bad words....kill                    
harsh words....grill
so....why not....
sweet words 
that surely heal
and kind words
that surely shield.

Thank you Arti Honrao for the lovely gift which I received almost 2 months back. Sorry for the late respond.

There is a reason....
why we have eyes
not only just to see.
there is a reason....
why we have ears
not only just to hear.
there is a reason....
why we have mouths
not only just to talk.
move on....
action speaks
louder than words.

God is here
God is there
does that.....
make any difference to you?
God is in you
God is around you
does that.....
make any difference to you?
God exists
God does not exist
does that.....
make any difference to you?
we still live
we still love
we still live the life
we still love the life
life still has to go on after all.
