We met, we became friends , then destiny brought us closer ...
Two became one , until death do us depart ...
Though the journey hasn't been smooth ...
Lots of hurdles and obstacles to reach where we are ...
Now, when I look into your eyes I see my present and future with you ...
I see Hope, Love and Happiness ...
We are different like day and night,
Yet the bond that binds us is stronger than the strongest chain ...
Together, yet we fly like free birds ...
Soaring higher and higher ...
I know what you think even before you say it ...
You know my dreams even before I tell them ...
You like me just the way I am, with all my imperfections and flaws
My strengths you love
My weaknesses you happily overlook
You have made me a better person ... and still do ...
The best thing in the morning is to wake up besides you ...
and the best thing at night is to lie in your arms ...
Life was a garden of thorns with a few roses,
now with you in my life it has become a garden of lovely roses with a few thorns ...
You are the Angel that God sent from heavens
To wipe away my tears and
To make me laugh till tears come
Fights do happen and an occasional tear rolls,
yet we always make up and hug
Now thinking about them we laugh out heartily ...
You helped me up whenever I have fallen ...
I learnt from you to never give up
The most beautiful gift you have given me are our children ...
I can see You in them and them in You ...
And the best gift we can give our children is our Love

The power of E
I was wondering ...
What has made women such as Mother Theresa, Oprah Winfrey, Princess Diana or Mata Amritanandamayi so popular ?
They come from different backgrounds but they all do or did the same thing.
All have been compassionate and caring. And more, they have or had an ability to emotionally connect with the people around them - be it lepers or AIDS patients... All people longing for just one thing - LOVE.
A touch, a hug, a kiss or just the time taken to listen to the needy and showing empathy has brought a rainbow of happiness into the lives of so many people.
Interestingly, it is all women whom I have mentioned above. I don't doubt though, that there would be some men who could be as compassionate, but in the end I believe it is a woman's prerogative to be blessed with such values.

Happy New Year
I wish you all a Happy New Year 2012 !
Even more, I wish myself a Happy New Year.
Looking back at the last year ... It was a turbulent one. Lot of laughter, lot of tears, lot of happiness, lot of sadness.
The books I read last year were 'Megaliving' by Robin Sharma and '3 Mistakes of my Life' by Chetan Bhagat.
The former helped me achieve some new goals in my life ... I practised my driving, cooking, wearing of the Sari and also my blog writing.
However I let myself get hurt again and again.
It is in these times that I realize who really loves me. My family and friends are the ones who are there for me always. In this new era of facebook and twitter I may not have hundreds of friends or followers, but I must tell you ... I cherish the few that I have.
This year there is even more to do ...
My dream is to fulfil my dream ... And I shall do it !!
I will face obstacles, but I need to overcome then.
My goals should be:
* Learn to understand God better
* Take out more time for myself
* Meditate and listen more to your inner self
* Laugh more and be cheerful
* Be there more for my son and my family
* Learn to accept the fact that not everyone you love may love you
* Work hard & Party harder
* Enjoy every day and thank God for the good things in your life
* Exercise and keep an active life
* Daily ask yourself:
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail
* Never give up hope.
* Make your talents work for you
* There are people who need you more than you think.
* Learn to play the Keyboard
* Do what you love and love what you do !!
* Dream and imagine .. what you see is what you get
* LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
This year, this day is a new chance for all of us. Let us embrace it with all our heart !!

The Time I bought
It is about 20 days that I wrote the post "Can't Buy Me Time".
In that post I concluded to include more and more activities in my daily life.
So here is what I have been doing in the last 3 weeks:
I've been doing a Sudoko puzzle almost every day.
We bought a baking oven (OTG-Oven Toaster Grill) and I tried my hand at baking.
My first attempt was a pizza, and it wasn't that bad.
Then I baked some German Weihnachtsplätzchen (Christmas Cookies) and "AngelEyes".
My little son and my sister liked them very much.
Roy and I made a Christmas crib and did some Christmas decorations for the Christmas tree and home.
I got the chance to be the "Master (Mistress) of Ceremony" for our Christmas programme in church. It was a great experience and I am happy that I was able to do it well.
So far so good ....
The last 2 weeks though were pretty stressing ... with so many Christmas programmes in church and other engagements coming up. Now I hope to get more rest.
For my future activities, I feel exercise needs to be added. And more "Me-Time"..
Well, let's see how it goes.

Love to be the lesser one
Had gone for a christmas choir preparation with some people.
An idea came up to stage the nativity scene with our kids. Though mine is too small to participate I was listening to what was being discussed.
The very little ones would enact the angels. One of the group then said that her son and his cousin sister would act as Maria and Joseph. Rest to play the 3 Kings and shepherds. There were no counter suggestions... maybe because there were no big enough kids to play Maria and Joseph.
But it made me think. If my son had been big enough, I possibly would have wanted him to enact Joseph. Why ? Because Maria and Joseph seem to be the next big roles after baby Jesus.
And I started to think again. That thought itself is wrong.
Everyone in the nativity scene - from the shepherds to the 3 Kings, to Maria and Joseph , everyone is important. The nativity scene is not complete without anyone of them.
I guess for the little kids it doesn't matter anyways which role they play.
Only we adults think about the "main" role. This reminds me that I need to think more like a child, more self-less, in so many ways.
Now, I can be happy whichever part my son will play, in the future ...

Circumstancial Conflict
Yesterday I got very upset over something. Rather someone I should say.
I felt that this someone X was purposely (not) doing some things so as to hurt me.
I felt very bad. It affected me so badly I wanted to run away. I was mad.
I imagined already the worst assuming very strongly that this person may just not like me.
But then I was thinking, the last time we talked this person was very nice and friendly. I started to calm down and decided to confront the person and talk it out.
So when I got a chance to meet this person I requested for a chat. Only after talking I realized there were no such bad intentions from X.
This person genuinely liked me. I was very happy and relieved.
What bad things would have happened had I followed my initial feelings ....
I would have lost a very good friend ...
It was as if my feelings were playing with me. They were like a whirlwind storming through my mind and heart. But then calmness prevailed and I was able to think clearly again.
Sometimes circumstances play havoc in our lives which affects our thinking and the actions we take. In such times we must remember that only if we think clearly and calmly can we see the blue sky behind the clouds.

Can't buy me Time
I was thinking, every day there is so much of the common chores to do, I don't get time to do the extra fun stuff that I want to do.
And then I thought "Stop! There is no point complaining like this. Each one of us gets 24 hours each day. Make it or Break it !!"
True. I got to do more. I CAN do more. Even if it means that I will get less sleep. But maybe I can sleep and dream better then, seeing all the nice and enjoyable things that I am doing in my dreams.
This has to be it. It's now or never. For a start, writing my blog has been an activity that I try to be regular with. Fit in each day some new thing, however small or big, a new activity, some new learnings, a new song, a new movie, a new word taught to my son, a new game played with him, a new prayer, a new joke, a new puzzle solved, a new acquaintance made ... .
There are so many so little things that can be done in a day.
At the end of a week I should make a list of all things done .. and hopefully it is going to be a huge tower at the end of a year.
Great! This should keep me motivated to do the monotonous activities as well :)..
