Too shy, and I don't know why..

 "I have known her since I was 16 years old. She was my best friend ever since. Everyday we used to sit together for class and exchange our notes the next day. I used to secretly stare at her face and her hair, wishing she was mine. She never used to see me the same way. And that was fine. Coz, I was with her all the time. She used to kiss my cheeks, and her caring hugs used to make me feel nice. And soon enough I realised, I wanted something more from this. I wanted to tell her straight from my heart that I loved her. But then, I was just too shy, and I don't know why."

"She was a dancer, and a beautiful one at that. She looked very pretty and graceful as ever. Dedicated and hard working, she was the perfect one for me. She used to write notes in her diary every day. Notes that no one could read. The lake was our favorite place to spend time together. Everyday we used to stroll endlessly. I loved the feeling of being with her all day. I wanted to tell her there, that she was more than just a friend, that I loved her. But then, I was just too shy, and I don't know why."
"Late in the night, when my phone rang. It was her. I wondered what happened? She used to call me and cry. She told me everything. Everything that she went through. She was feeling low and down and was wanting to be loved. I used to console her and did it selfishly though. I had noticed that when things went wrong, she always shared with me and wanted me to be around. I couldn't sleep that night. And I figured she may not have too. I should have said the words. But then, I was just too shy, and I don't know why."

"There were days when I used to sing and strum for her. But she never used to enjoy. Never was she impressed. And I was fine with that. Coz, she was the best and no one could question that. Best in her dancing, best in singing, best in her acads. I was so impressed. Slowly but surely, years passed by. I had to leave the city for my job. I always wanted to keep her close. A tight hug was all that I could do before she could leave. I wanted to keep her near, but I couldn't tell her. And soon after she disappeared. As I had always imagined, she looked very pretty in her wedding dress. I remained seated near the aisles."
"I used to meet her. We used to talk, share our experiences with each other. I felt I should tell her that I loved her despite my fear. But it was too awkward to express now that she was away. Distance kept us busy in our own lives. But we remained friends always. She had two kids. I loved playing with them and buying them gifts. Her husband was successful, smart and kept her happy. I remained the struggling writer I always was, alone, unpleasant."
"After several years, I grew old. Yet alone with heart of a stone. And then one day, my phone rang. It was her husband. I got to know that the girl I had loved for 60 years was no more. She died at 69. Memories of the past came flashing to my eyes, as I paid my last respect to the love of my life. My feelings still hidden to me, her husband handed me the diary in which she used to write everyday. With a heavy heart I started reading."

"He has been my best friend, ever since we were 16. I stared at him everyday wishing he was mine. I wanted to tell him that, but I didn't know what he feels about me. I feared for our friendship, I feared it would all end. I held back my feelings, only hoping that he would read my signs. I notice him staring at me sometimes, but I don't know why he looks away the next moment. I don't know if he loves me or wants things to remain the same way. I am sure if he feels the same, he will find it in him to confess his love and convey. But then, I can't keep waiting for long. Things need to move. I wish he tells me now. He seems too shy. Too shy, and I don't know why."
------

"But that is not how the story ends. Coz am not shy anymore."
I looked at her. As I finished reading my story. She looked at me with awe, tears rolling down her eyes and a gentle smile. I could notice the diary in her hand. It was held tight. The moment said it all. Everyone was applauding my story at the open mic story-narration gathering at the college cafe. But that didn't matter to me. I could hear the claps as she came towards me and gave me the most assuring hug I have ever got from her.

I couldn't stop my tears. Tears of joy.

                           there is power within YOU..!!

If you have started your journey never turn back in any case. Just have the thought  that you don't have any other option thereby you have to give your best in your work not going to be distracted and deviated as you have undertaken your long journey whole heartedly with patience. And if you continue in your work passionately then you are very near to the success. People generally start very well in their journey but in the mid they start deviating ,so have a firm determination in your mind that you are which you have to complete optimistically. Just try to be very honest with yourself and your work then definitely you will be rewarded. Need is to have patience and continuity in your approach.!!!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. 
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

                                          LOVE YOUR PARENTS...:) 

Mothers are the Soul of our homes... whereas fathers are their very existence.

But have we ever given much thought to the nature of this existence?

Little is written or said about fathers, even though we understand their value in our lives.

We hardly ever hear anyone talk about fathers.
Mothers are made of an ocean of tears. Fathers are a wall of self-control.

Mothers relieve their pain through tears, fathers only console, and it is harder to console than it is to cry.

Surely the candlestick is hotter than the flame, yet it is always the flame which gets the praise.

We remember mother as the one who took care of our daily needs, yet how easily we forget the father, who arrange finances for daily needs!

Mothers can cry uncontrollably in public, n fathers sob in their pillow at night.

Mothers are allowed to cry; fathers can never be seen in tears.

We can notice the patches on his shoes. His tattered vest is a sure sign of the struggle he gone through. His unshaven beard is a sign of his frugality. He will buy new pairs of expensive jeans for his children, while an old pair of pyjamas will do for him.

While children don’t blink an eyelid when they spend 1000's of Rs in a beauty parlour or salon, yet in their own home, a father may be using talcum soap to shave because his shaving cream is finished, or he might be shaving
in just water.

When father is ill, he does not rush to the doctor. He does not fear his illness
but is afraid in case the doctor tells him to rest for a month, as there will be no other bread earner in the family.

Whether he can afford it
or not, he works hard to get his son admitted to an engineering or medical course. Despite the shortage of funds he send money regularly to his child at university even some children go on a gala spending spree on the same day the money arrives.

Father is the existence of the home. The home is secure from outsiders when a father, in the form of its manger, is alive. He holds the position of the chief executive of the household. He sees, repairs and cares for jobs around the house.

When you announce your exam results, it seems that mother is the closest person to you because she takes you in her arms, praises you and blesses you, but no one notices the father who quietly slips away to the sweet shop to get sweets to distribute among family and friends...

Salute to all the Fathers.....love you daddy mummy..:* 

Learnings of LIFE

We all want to lead better lives. We all want to be happy too! .Yet, this is life. We’ve so many problems and responsibilities that it can be hard to be happy, much less achieve all our goals in life.

And guess what? On some level, it’s your own fault. You’re holding on to useless things in life. It’s time to let go.

Life isn’t meant to be useless

It is simple. We pretty much know the answers to how we can improve our lives. But we’re holding onto too many useless things.

We ought to step it up! It’s time to let go of the useless things in life!

9 things that are extremely useless for your life

1) Toxic friends

Dump them. Surround yourself with positive people only. This is key to living a life where your own environment can lift you up and inspire you.

2) Revenge

Do you feel hurt or angered by someone so much so that you want justice? Or, you simply keep thinking of revenge?

It’s useless. Let it go. Resentment is like holding on to hot coals, waiting to throw it at someone.

Only you get hurt.

3) Worry

Whatever you’re thinking about, whatever that’s ahead, whatever you got planned. Whatever!

Don’t worry. I know, it’s in our nature to worry, but think about it, does it have any use?

It doesn’t. It will never change the situation or even change your feelings. Drop worry. Now.

4) Violence

It’s for losers. Use your words. Walk away.Violence only causes more violence.

5) Guilt

It’s time to let go of the past. It’s natural to feel bad for a bit, but eventually you need to let it go.

You can absolutely become a better person without guilt. Think about that.

6) Clutter

Clean up! Tidy your surroundings, especially your workspace. You may think it’s just some crap lying around, but if you put in the effort to clear the area, your mind will be more clear too.

Most of the material things you hold on to are literally useless anyway. The key thing is to realize that immediately and not wait until it’s way in the future.

7) High expectations

Lower them now. High expectations build up for disappointment only. It’s useless to keep wondering how things will turn out with a pie-in-the-sky mind. Instead, be realistic and then keep learning from your tasks.

8) Waiting

Good things don’t come to those who wait.

Good things happen for people who make it happen for themselves.

Stop waiting for anything man. And I do mean anything. Don’t even wait for people who are perpetually late. Get them to come to you instead.

9) Judging people

Being judged? Forget about it. They don’t know any better, and that’s their loss.

Feel like judging someone? Stop it. It’s useless. You’ll never get it right.

**If any person or thing is truly yours then you need not to worry whether it will remain with you or not and if it is not yours then whatsoever you do it will not come to you . So don't worry for anything , feel light , don't hold anything , everything and everyone in your life has some special purpose .

Learn in every single instance , collect as much experience as possible , GOOD Days are waiting for those who feel beauty of today and utilise their time and energy to the utmost .

SO focus your time and energy on your life instead.

AJEET SINGH & SHALINI SHARMA 

                 

                              Something for something 

Plenty of people will promise you something for nothing, yet those are always empty promises. Even when you can manage to get something for nothing, it does not bring any real joy to your life. 

The point of life is not to figure out how to get something for nothing. The real fulfillment in life comes not from merely consuming, but from creating.

You cannot be truly rich simply by having a certain set of material possessions. The richness that matters is genuine inner richness, and the satisfaction that comes from knowing that you’re making a positive difference in life.

Don’t waste your time wishing, hoping, demanding or begging to get something for nothing. Joyfully put your energy into creating new, useful and beautiful value out of the unique abundance with which you’ve been blessed.

The great thing about being alive is that you can, through your creative endeavors, transform whatever you have into whatever you desire. That amazing, limitless opportunity presents itself every moment of every day.

If you wish to have something of value, then work to create something of even greater value. That’s the reliable way to be truly rich in all matters small and large.
