Want to send letter to yourself in future

Future... its always the eternal mystery to us...
And to achieve a better future we do everything...

Now I came across this site futureme.org...
Interesing site with a unique concept.

Write a letter to your future self, let him know what you are doing here.
Let him feel your current frustrations, let him feel that what you have gone through to be there, let him know about your stupidities and emotions...
and may be your future gets humbled by your hard work, remember the long forgotten aim or who knows may be his moment is lightened up by reading those little silly thoughts.

So go and write a mail and brighten up your future...

Believe in destiny ??

I guess everyone do believe in destiny. Some readily accept this fact... some take time to adjust to it, that something more powerful is operating there that can disturb their plan, their goals....
Or is destiny a support system for human. When nothing is going right, we can always blame it on destiny. If there is anything that is not going according to our plans, we can say its destiny that is at work.
Is it not possible that we have missed something, something skipped our mind, something that should be there and was not.
Is it not a convenience designed by man to release his tensions, to help him get through the tough times?
But then some things are beyond human control, natural calamities, where one is born, when he is going to die...
This again is another debatable topic...
We can always believe in it or choose to ignore it....
but the strong fact remains is that it is something that has made human existence a little easier

What do you think ?

Irony of life

Till now, I have spent half of my life thinking why am i doing what I am doing.. Is this really what I ever wanted or will want...
People always ask questions like where do you see yourself 5 years from now, 10 years down the line.. what are your plans for the future....
Why nobody asks themselves.. when I will grow old and look back at these days... will I be able to smile thinking that yes I have live life to the fullest.. that I have given time to myself.. given time to my thoughts, my passion, my love...
or will I be facing the situation where my future has engulfed my past, my present.. and now I am not left with anything ....
I am growing old now....I have done everything that was in my power to do... I want to take some rest now, want to spend some time with my family... but they are so unknown to me... ha, I didnt get time to spend time with my children when they were growing.. there were always projects.. always deadlines to meet... and now well we dont have much to talk about...
They are busy, and I can see them going in the same direction as me.. but they dont listen to me anymore... they say that you have lived your life your own way.. let me live mine...

There he is standing among the crowd
trying to figure every passerby
feeling lonely sometimes
but happy too,
coz he know that he doesn't know all
but those walking by are disillusioned
with their own understanding
and this amuses him

Zahir

"Can u hold it", he asked me. And I said sure, holding something as small as pebble is not difficult. But then again he asked,"Are u sure you can hold this".
I said, 'Man, u don't worry. It's so small, I'll not let it go anywhere". So he said that of you are so sure, then take it.
And well, as soon as I held it in my hand, I have to apply my full strength 100%.
I asked him why is it so that when you were holding it, u dont seem to require much effort. but here look at me, I am so drained. And what it is that I am holding?
He said, ' Its PASSION. If you try to hold it too tightly, it becomes obsession and heavy to hold. If you try to hold it too lightly, it becomes wind and you lose it. You have to hold it in a manner that it gives energy to you, not take it from you".

Searching... Waiting...

Catching the dim light of sun in my eyes...
Folding the soft breeze in my hairs...
I am moving towards the unknown destination...
And that shows in the grim set of my jaw...
I am looking for something that is eluding me for so long...
Something that I am not able to capture in my dreams...
Unable to capture in my thoughts...
But the feeling that it is there is so strong...
That I have decided to undertake this journery to find it out....
They laughed at me, called me a fool...
How can you search for non-existent?
How can you go on finding you don't know?
But I paid no heed to what they said...
And embarked on this journey to find you...
Are you a thought or a person..
Are you a thing or a feeling..
I don't know...

But I know that I am about to reach you...
As the wind doesn't have the old chilliness...
The sun is no more scorching my skin...
The clouds don't try to hide the moon from me...

And I can hear the soft wind whisper...
Don't give up on me now,
I am waiting for you.

Silence

Does it happen to you.....

Sometimes all you want to do is to remain alone....
you dont want to hear music.. you dont want to talk....
you dont want to listen... just like the silence around you...
loneliness doesnt tire you.. you want to sit with your God and want to remain silent.....
silence gives you time to observe yourself...
it refreshes your soul.. it brings your mind at peace...
it gives rest to your tormented brain....

Sometimes you just want to close your eyes and want to feel near universe...
sometimes you want to write something to share your thoughts with yourself....

sometimes you want to cling to this slience....
you are afraid that some one will come and will ask you to detach yourself from this silence....

sometimes it becomes your armour and sometimes your weapon....
sometimes it brings your dream near to you....
sometimes its your friend and sometimes its your foe....
sometimes its joy and sometimes pain...

Silence... today I am silent....
I am at peace with myself....
I feel joy so I am silent...
I dont have any questions in my heart right now....
So I am silent.....

Stranger

Was walking alone on the pavement, and then somehting suddenly caught my eyes.
Yeah you must be thinking its a color, or a cloth or just some handsome guy.
Na, I 'll say coz I essentially found something more interesting,
that appeals to my senses in almost poetic way,
yes he is justa guy but completely different from you or me
an ordinary person though, you probably wouldnt have noticed him if it is not for aura that surrounds him....
he was wearing very ordinary clothes... nothing special about them.. denim jeans, shirt and sneakers... not very tidy....
he was leaning on the wall.. and watching the passerbys....
but that glance was not insulting....
it was not too undermine them....
its a glance that says that I am going to conquer this world.....
I am going to make myself known...
I'll get the power and then this all will be mine....
and so much more......
its a glance that wants you to go and share his dreams...
his ideas... his thoughts... and his glance....

Now only today we are talking choice ....... some people say that we don’t have any choice in what we do.. its all destiny, we are already programmed to do things in the way we are doing.. its all their in the stars.. its all there in the hands,…. And what they say is wrong.. no I don’t think so when so many people believe in it then there must be some bit of truth in the whole thing.. may be its absolutely true for them who can read these signs.. but what about ppl like us…who don’t know these rules… should we also believe these things or can we say that we have choice to do things our way the way we want without any problem …

Well I think yes, its my destiny that I am born a female but its my choice whether I want to be happy with the way I am or be sad about the whole thing…

Its my destiny to lend up in software industry but its my choice whether I turn everything that comes my way to my best......

Its my destiny that I met with so many people, but whether I want to share with them a part of my life is my choice....

You can find lots of example in the daily life which will prove that your choice can make your life easier and well in the end you may like what your destiny is offering you….

Aah this thing called Music!!!!1

I am sure lot of us must have experienced this feeling.. this sensation while hearing music. This feeling that music is not just a thing, it has the power to influence our emotions... sometimes I am pure sad, and it lifts my spirit.. sometimes it takes me to the highest peak of pleasure..
sometimes suddenly it makes me long for people, it creates yearning in the heart for love....
it can create gloom or even ease it as easily....

When I have nothing to do and this boredom grasps me, I just have to pick my guitar and this loneliness fades away.. all those whom I miss are with me.. I can sing to them and play for them......

songs make me sing, cry and laugh...
songs want me to sway with the beats.....

I am sitting here in my office
listening to this song Mehfuz..
it wants me to go and tell the person I love
that I care and will be there
no matter what happen...
It makes me feel that I shud go and
sort everything thats been wrong till now
It tells my heart to stop listening to my brain
and just follow this music
wants me to stand and shout
that I am free
that I feel
that I am human.....

Aah this thing we call Music..........

When I have nothing to do

Sitting idle is a big task too.....
When I heard my Manager telling my TL...
oh the client is not ready to give the code right now...
I thought bingo manu you are so lucky....
saved for so many days... one full month...
but now I know sitting idle is no small task...
Neways I did this herculean task of doing nothing...
browsing through the net where there is nothing to read...
hiding my mails and games from the manager...
phew... well but days whether good or bad never stays same...
So came the day when i have to fill my effort sheet for the month..
I tried to divide my efforts... but never any task prove more difficult..
Nobody recognised my hard work...

Aah the lie of a SE...
you have to do so much to do nothing

standpoint

i have come across this very interesting site... standpoint..
its kind of different from regular blogs....
it gives u chance to state what yo think.....
i believe its gud platform to reinforce what u think.....
when u make others see what u believe in...
u r sharing a part of you...
and well i feel it will let people connect on the more mature level....

dont know why but most of them, have shared there ideas but refrained from giving the reasons for their belief.... as if they themselves are not sure of what they are writing... and writing it just for the heck of it.....
argue it out..... let others share your vision...
what say :))
