BIRTHDAY :)
Fantastic answer by Dr Kalam to a question asked at the BBC,
Define BIRTHDAY.........
Answer = The only day in your life, when you cried and your Mother was smiling..............
How to dance in the Rain........a beautiful love story
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.
I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him.I saw him looking at his watch, and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.
On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.I inquired as to her health; he told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.
He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are'? He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is'.
I had to hold back tears as he left; I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life'.
True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
''Life isn't about how to survive the storm, But how to dance in the rain''

To all Sachin Tendulkar's Fan.......
Sachin Tendulkar---- The Person Whom Admire I The Most !!!
CRICKET WAS A MERE GAME, IT WAS SACHIN TENDULKAR WHO CONVERTED IT INTO PASSION !!!!
Great Quotes About This Living Legend !!!
"In an over I can bowl six different balls. But then Sachin looks at me with a sort of gentle arrogance down the pitch as if to say 'Can you bowl me another one?'"---Adam Hollioke
"I'd like to see him go out and bat one day with a single stump instead of a bat. I tell you he'd do okay."- Greg Chappell.
Sachin went to the umpire offered to play with a stump when, Ronny Irani complained that the blade of his bat is broader...!!!
"Sachin should come to our dressing room and asks sorry to every player for his superb innings" -- Wasim Akram on Sachin's crucial 98 in WC2003 against Pakistan.
"To Sachin, the man we all want to be"- What Andrew Symonds wrote on an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially for Sachin.
The pressure on me is nothing as compared to Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin, like God, must never fail. The crowd always expects him to succeed and it is too much pressure on him--- Mark Waugh.
"For me, the best batsman in the world is Sachin Tendulkar. I admire Jacques Kallis' consistency and Ricky Ponting, with the purple patch he's going though. Everybody gets 15 minutes of fame. But if there's one person I've admired over a 15-year period, it's definitely Sachin."----- Brian Charles Lara
"He is someone sent from up there to play cricket and go back" -Ravi Shastri
"His life seems to be a stillness in a frantic world... [When he goes out to bat], it is beyond chaos - it is a frantic appeal by a nation to one man. The people see him as a God... "--Mathew Hayden, Australian Cricketer on Sachin Tendulkar.

Question: Who do you think as most important celebrity ?
Shah Rukh Khan: There was a big party where stars from bollywood and cricket were invited. Suddenly, there was a big noise, all wanted to see approaching Amitabh Bachhan. Then Sachin entered the hall and Amitabh was leading the queue to get a grab of the GENIUS!!

Its INDIA That Matters To Him The Most !!!When I came in to bat we needed 69 runs in five overs or so. I had a go at Mushtaq Ahmed who had taken two wickets and hit him for a couple of sixes. Qadir then came up to me said, "Bachchon ko kyon mar rahe ho? Hamein bhi maar dikhao" ("Why are you only hitting the kid? Hit me too.") Qadir was a great bowler and I was only playing my first series. I didn't say anything, but it fired me up. I took up the challenge and gave it a go. Ultimately we fell short only by four runs----- Sachin Tendulkar.
and the best one....
On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century. This Genius can stop time in India!!------Peter Rebouck.

You are the answer to every prayer i have offered...
Life is always beautiful but it has more colors when you find someone special, with whom you can share your feelings, your emotions, your joyful moment, difficult times, and that one is always with you in every moment…like an extension whose shadow sprung besides you in every moment
Train was an hour late and I just thanked to God for his blessing which came in the way of time. I wanted to spend more time with Shivi. I was counting every second which was going on and with that my heart was beating faster. I was asking the favour from God that just give me more time or stop the time for some extent so that I can live more life with the person, who has became everything for me. My dream, my hope, my passion, my pray, my life & my most powerful emotion …Love
Destiny …Shivi will become my destiny I didn’t thought at that time. But who know serendipity can change one’s life.
Both of us were sitting on a bench without speaking a single word, I never felt that way which i was feeling that time. It was like something was going away from me, Like my soul is going out of my body and i can’t stop… i wanted to say to shivi that how much she meant to me, I wanted to live my life with her, i wanted to lay down in her lap and see the stars in the sky till they disappear and the ray of sun touch our body. I wanted to say her that you are the answer of all the prayers I have offered…. But I said nothing to her as I was afraid of the response. I watched my watch now it was 40 minutes left to train come……
College Camp -
I was walking alone in the silence enjoying my solitude, lot of thoughts were running in my head. Why I have joined this camp, it was better to skip the camp and enjoy those days with friends. Lot of students came from different states to attend this 10 days camp. There was lot of gathering, every one was busy in meeting with each other in order to know, I got bored soon and left the campus and walked towards the near by garden for some relax.
This was the first time when i watched Shivi, she was sitting alone in the cold breeze watching the sun being swallowed behind the trees. She was being cherished by the beauty of nature. The trees were swaying in the wind; bird song - the musical sounds made by birds was being sonorous, the color of sky became reddish as it has taken the sun in his arm. I was just gazing at her ….she was looking so pretty, she was the child of nature. She was in love with nature so that she used to spend her lot of time in peace, alone watching transformation of nature. Flowers, butterfly, cute animals, were her best friend. Sometimes we didn’t recognize the nature itself teaches the lession of love and this time God has sent her to this world as a messenger of love. She is the beautiful creature of the nature, nature has given so much love, and affection to her so that she has became the epitome of love. I simply could not take my eyes off her and seemed glued to her like a magnet. God certainly creates human beings matching the beauty of a fairy. She seemed to be an angel stepping on earth with the purity and sacredness of heaven oozing out of her face. She was the great believer of God. According to her everything is in God’s hand. Whatever happens with us is the God wish. She was always ready to help the person in need.
Sometimes in life God gives us some sign so that we can understand what god wants and what he has planned for us. Something was going to happen and I was not aware ……
I still remember her bonhomie and her way of joie de vivre. She wanted to savour every moment …even my heart has word with my inner voice and both have decided something for me, I asked them to tell me but they denied, even after my effort of asking I was failed to know the secret. Both of them became good pal and I felt envy towards them.
Ashu …ashu … I came out of my trance …I turned my face towards shivi …after a long silence she spoke and I was like mute …thousands of thoughts going in my head & ready to come out of my imagination. In front of me there was a sign board of a Telecom company with a caption “kariye dil ki baat”. I have seen movies, read lots of book there was thousand ways to express feeling towards someone you really love or someone who meant to you. She was meant to me everything but I was lost….
I looked in to her eyes and say “yes shivi …. My eyes was ready to tell everything which I had hide. She looked in my eyes ………..

Kal Ho Na Ho........Live for today tomorrow can wait
"life is full of beauty.Notice it.Notice the bumble bee,the small child,and the small faces.Smell the rain,and feel the wind.Live your life to the fullest potential,and fight for your dreams"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

Sarhad par kal raat.....
Subah subah ik khwab ki dastak par darwaza khola,
dekha Sarhad ke us paar se kuchh mehmaan aaye hain
Aankhon se maanoos the saareyChehre saarey sune sunaaye
Paanv dhoye, Haath dhulayeAangan mein aasan lagwaaye...
Aur tandoor pe makki ke kuchh mote mote rot pakaye
Potli mein mehmaan merePichhale saalon ki faslon ka gud laaye the
Aankh khuli to dekha ghar mein koi nahin tha
Haath lagakar dekha to tandoor abhi tak bujha nahin tha
Aur hothon pe meethe gud ka jaayka ab tak chipak raha tha
Khwab tha shayad!Khwab hi hoga! !
Sarhad par kal raat, suna hai, chali thi goli
Sarhad par kal raat, suna hai Kuchh khwaabon ka khoon hua ha
(~Gulzar~)
Such beautiful words...simple yet touching. Every word leaves a mark. Every word tells a story of life. Every word hits deep down
