In times of trouble or sadness, when nothing seems to work, this one song will cheer you up ...
(whistling)
Here's a little song i wrote,
you might want to sing it note for note,
don't worry, be happy
in every life we have some trouble,
when you worry you make it double
don't worry, be happy
dont worry be happy now
dont worry be happy
dont worry be happy
dont worry be happy
dont worry be happy
aint got no place to lay your head,
somebody came and took your bed,
don't worry, be happy
the landlord say your rent is late,
he may have to litagate,
dont worry (small laugh) be happy,
look at me im happy,
don't worry, be happy
i give you my phone number,
when your worried, call me,
i make you happy
don't worry, be happy
aint got no cash, aint got no style,
aint got no gal to make you smile
but don't worry, be happy
cos when you worry, your face will frown,
and that will bring everybody down,
so don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy now...
don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
now there this song i wrote
i hope you you learned it note for note
like good little children
dont worry be happy
listen to what i say
in your life expect some trouble
when you worry you make it double
dont worry be happy
be happy now
dont worry, be happy
dont worry, be happy
dont worry, be happy
dont worry, be happy
dont worry
dont worry be happy
don't worry, don't worry, don't do it,
be happy,put a smile on your face,
don't bring everybody down like this
don't worry, it will soon pass whatever it is,
don't worry, be happy,
i'm not worried

Salt and Light
Was reading a random chapter from the Bible.It was Mathews 5:13-16.
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14-16 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Here Jesus tells us that we are like Salt and Light. Both are highly essential for our existence. Salt enhances the flavour of the food that we cook and light removes darkness so that we can see. So by us becoming like salt, we are passing on God's flavour to all that we are doing and to everyone we come across. But if we don't have God's flavour in us, then we are just useless. Similarly if we are like the light then we always walk in the right path. When others who are in darkness see this light, they too will follow.

FriendHappy ShipDay !!
On another Friendship day I look back at my life , all the friends I met, starting right from Kindergarten till now. Some are still there , some came and went like a breeze of wind, some hardly in my memory, and some leaving such a long trail behind .... some friends turned foes .. other foes turned friends ...

Busy buddy's Day
Ryan's day is always a busy filled day. The start itself is excellent. What amazes me always is that for me even if I am awake I need a few minutes to get up. Not so for my son. The moment he is awake and notices someone else awake too he jumps out of the bed and in the direction of the person. He is fully fresh. And he always starts his day HAPPY. He has a small chat with us and a great smile.
When at my parents' he is most eager to run out into the garden and play. Outside in the garden he'll run towards our dog Tiger and greet him. Ryan calls him "Tikku". Then he will either play a bit football with me or he'll settle down for some serious stuff. He'll take a bucket or some container and open the water tap to which the water hose is connected and fill the bucket until I close the tap or just keeps it running. Then he'll get pebbles and drops them into the bucket one by one. He'll wash the pebbles and repeat the process with more pebbles and stones and small coconuts. He also loves plucking the beautiful flowers that have blossomed.
Other fun activities include trying and walking in one or both of grandpa's shoes, coloring with crayons, running around with a broom and cleaning the house, removing the covers of the sofa set, climbing on the sofa set, the chairs and the staircase, playing with the tv remote or my mobile phone and throwing them away after use. Nowadays he throws a lot of tantrums as well. And lots of kisses. When you ask him for a kiss, he will not only give you a kiss but everyone else too.
Ryan loves watching the programs in Ceebeebies, his favourite being Mister Maker, GrandPa in my Pocket, I can Cook, Teletubbies, In the Night garden and Boogie BeeBies where he learns a new song and dance every time. He has become fascinated with cooking after watching the little kids cook in "I can Cook". So whenever I make chapati dough, I let him knead it in the end and when I make Schnitzel I let him sprinkle bread crumbs on top of it and cover it. He feels really happy and important like a grown up when he can do this. It's really nice to hear him say "Appachan" when he calls Grandpa. He also loves it when I read him "Elly's story" and now he can shout "Yippie" just like Elly the elephant.
Lot many more adventures waiting not only for him but also for us ...

Perfect Friend
You don't have to be perfect to be the perfect friend !
What a true statement, even though it consists of two contradicting points - one saying that you are not perfect and the other saying that you still can be the perfect friend.
It makes perfect sense. If I look at my best friends, none of them is perfect but irrespective of that they have been good listeners, they have shared a good laugh , they have shared even some tears with me, they have stood with me through good as well as bad times. And if I look at myself, I am not perfect either, some would maybe say I'm full of mistakes, but I have tried to be there for my friends, and I still do ...

Please listen ...
In so many instances in our life we come across people who desperately want to tell us something ... but either are we too busy or not at all interested ...
Mom, I want to tell you something .... Later, honey, I'm doing something very important.
Honey, there's this beautiful movie which I watched today. It has such wonderful meaning .... Oh honey, I had a tiring day at office.
Honey, we shouldn't have had this fight. But your action hurt me ... I felt ----- and ----- .... Oh don't talk to me. You are so wrong.
Hello. There is a mistake with this bill. .... Sorry Sir, but there is nothing we can do.
Every situation requires us to listen, every person requires us to listen , ... be it your child, your spouse, your parent, your friend, or even the stranger you meet at the help desk or the customer you are helping. If you can listen, the rewards will be huge. You are not only giving a bit of your time , but a bit of your love and care as well. In today's world , is there anyone who doesn't need that? It would improve our relationships and our lives ! In the end, what's the purpose of having lived a busy life and not having had the time to listen to your loved ones ??
