Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder...

The best and most beautiful things in life cannot be seen, not touched, but are felt in the heart.

~ Helen Keller

I feel so relaxed when I look at the sea... Whenever I see a beautiful picture with the sea in it's background, I feel so joyous and delighted.

This picture (taken from Michelle Sedas's blog) gave that feeling... So, thought of keeping it in my blog too...

And yeah, whenever I see a beautiful sea, I recall Andamaan Island every time; The only sea beaches me and my husband enjoyed together.

Only when we leave...

Only when we leave a place or a person, we force our minds to see only the positive side of it !!!

Inspiration from 'Walk The Talk' - 03

It is the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

~ Marlene Dietrich

 

How many friends have you got such? I have got 3-4 (C, S, P, D) so far. Robin Sharma in one of his book "Who will cry when you die?" has mentioned that a person need to have 5 such friends. If he/she has got them then his life is worth living. Don't you think so? It's your that friend who always supports you blindly without trying to find out any benefit from supporting you. It is they who believe you, trust you, have faith on you, motivate you, support you... even more than your family members or anyone else. I am proud to have my best friends and they are with me in all shades of my life bearing that torch of comfort, care, affection, love, respect, honesty to drive me in the right direction. Hope you keeping in touch with your best friends.

Quote of the day - 01

"Invest in truly important things in life. Remember, everything that is worth something costs something."

This is the quote showing in my "daily table calendar" today. This quote has kept me engaged since morning. Every now and then this thought is flashing a glimpse of my past experiences, raising lot of questions in my mind. And those thoughts are making me overwhelmed of what I have achieved and what I have lost. That's forcing me to look at the calendar - quote and the picture in it - again and again. I must have looked at that quote today atleast 20-30 times or may be even more than that. It really is urging me to turn the pages of my past even faster. I feel like I am scampering even the digged pages of my life.

Yes, this is true and is a fact that everything costs you as, "There are no free lunches in this world!" You want something you have to pay some toll for that. Some time that toll is your friendship, your family, your existing career/job, your emotions, your wishes... Its upto us to decide what is important for us. We must make sure we invest on things that are most valuable in our life. It should be our family, friends, relations for the true ones will never return if you have ample money. I know you understand what I mean and I don't need to elaborate on this.

Hope you invest your time appropriately on right things/people/realtions.

Take care

Mother!!

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~ Sophia Loren

Yes, when you are a mother, you think about you and your children. However, you also think about all other people of your family whom you love, about all your best friends whom you adore, your siblings, parents. Ah! a mother really thinks about many people in her family and outside world too.

Yes, she is sometimes too much occupied with her family life. This reminds me of my mother. When she visits any shop before she buys anything for herself, she first sorts out things for us, and only then she with her available budget buys something for herself. Even though she is home maker she would save some money from her monthly budget to get us beautiful clothes. She would sometime pamper us with, various flavored milk, chat, pani puri, samosa, dahi vade, vada sambar, sandesh, kaju katri.... yummy. I love those mouth watering food items. Every time she would go for shopping we would be waiting for her in our balcony for when will she come with some special snacks this time. And she too knew that we would be waiting for the lovely snacks she would bring. The food doesn't taste so much if we sit and have it in the restaurant. However, the love and affection with which she brings the food, brings that special flavor in those. I Love You Mommy ♥.

Inspiration from 'Walk The Talk' - 02

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all. ~ Emily Dickinson

Ah! Hope! few people come to my mind when the word 'Hope' is pronounced. They are: Mr. Barack Obama, My Mother, My Best Friend, My Sister, and few of my friends. Believe it or not, its just a coincidence that except Mr. President of U.S., all are females.

My brother too hopes lot of thing to happen. However, never says it openly, we can read his body language to understand that. So is the case of my hubby and my father. May be there are many other guys who 'Hope! for something they want'. Is it want or need. umm.. it's 'Want' I guess which suits in with 'Hope', cause if it's a 'Need' then people just hope they create a burning desire, a fire in them to get that thing done. However, exceptions are there, as when Mr. Obama said the word Hope, I felt that Need in his voice, which he wanted to convey to the residents of U.S. and the entire world. Ah! It's confusing... or may be I am just confused and not others.

Anyway. I just remembered that yes, I have couple of my school friends, who are guys, who still Hope for good things to happen. I too Hope for good things to happen. However, these days someone/something reminds me to Believe in the good things that I am hoping for. So, if I re-read the quote above I feel: "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all - and that's called as Belief" What do you think?

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. ~ John Quincy Adams

 

The basis of leadership is the capacity of the leader to change the mindset, the framework of the other person. ~ Warren Bennis

 

When I read these lines the first person who came to my mind immediately is my best friend C, who has worked so much on her leadership skills through the past few years. I am so proud that she has become a powerful, rather power-filling leader and for I have her in with me in this life.♥. I thank Lord for this.
