I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it
before me, and said this:"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It
symbolizes Love."
This was how I saw it:As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to
remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it,it will spill through the first cracks it finds
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love,
Allow them to be free beings.
Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."
Passing thought...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by
the moments that take our breath away.....
Life is beautiful!!!
Live it !!!
I picked some fragrant flowers
to bring to you today.
I gathered them together
and made a bright bouquet.
There were lovely pale pink roses
with petals paper thin,
I touched one with my hand
it felt soft against my skin.
I added perfumed lilies,
wet with morning dew,
And hope their special magic,
Speak of my love for you.
The phone bill was exceptionally high and the man of the house called a family meeting.
Dad: People this is unacceptable. You have to limit the use of the phone.I do not use this phone; I use the one at the office.
Mum: Same here, I hardly use this home telephone as I use my work telephone.
Son: Me too, I never use the home phone. I always use my company mobile.
Maid: So what is the problem? We all use our WORK telephones

Two lawyers had been life long friends: they were partners and shared everything, including their hot-blooded secretary.
One day the secretary announced she was pregnant. They told her not to worry and assured her that they would pay all medical costs and would act as co-fathers when the child was born and provide all expenses thereafter.
The day of delivery arrived. Both the lawyers were at the hospital pacing the floor in the waiting room. Finally one of them said, "I can't take this, I'm going down to sit in my car and wait there. Please come down and tell me as soon as the child is born!"
The partner agreed to do that. About an hour later the partner approached the car with a very grave look on his face.
"What happened?" asked the waiting car occupant.
The other partner announced, "They were twins and mine died!
****************************************************
A few minutes before the services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the back entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon, everyone had exited the church except an elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So, Satan walked up to the old man and said, "Don't you know who i am?"
The man replied, "Yep, sure do."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.
"Nope, sure ain;t" said the man.
"Don't you realise I can kill you with a word?" asked the Satan.
"Don't doubt it for a minute." returned the old man in an even tone.
"Didn't you know I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical agony...for all eternity?" persisted Satan.
"Yep" was the man's calm reply.
"And you're still not afraid?" asked the Satan.
"Nope".
More than a little perturbed, the Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for the last 48 years.".
How do we measure the height of a mountain? Is the sea level same for all oceans?
There are several methods of measuring the height of a mountain. In a physics-based method, the height of the mountain is related to the barometric pressure which reduces with increasing height by a well established formula. Approximately a height of about 115metres reduces the atmospheric pressure by 10 mm of mercury.
Thus a measurement of the atmospheric pressure at the top of the mountain would provide the height. However this method has two main deficiencies. First, because the barometer reading also depends on the atmospheric temperature, a complete temperature profile along the height of the mountain needs to be known.
This is not only difficult but varies with time; so the height measurement by this method can be inaccurate. Secondly, one needs to climb the mountain in order to measure its height. The following methods overcome these problems easily.
In one of the methods, the length of the shadow of the mountain is compared with the length of the shadow of a pole of known height. The height of the mountain is calculated as the product of the height of the pole and the length of the shadow of the mountain divided by the length of the shadow of the pole. This is a simple but elegant method.
In yet another method, the angular elevations of the tip of the mountain are noted from two points on the ground along a line passing through the base of the mountain. Such a line is easily identified by joining the shadow of the tip of the mountain at two different time of the day.
Use of the trigonometric tangent ratio of the two angles of elevation and the accurately measured distance, between the two points of observation yields the required height of the mountain. In this method the two chosen points are required to have same mean sea level (MSL). Because d is in the range of about 500metres, the MSL does not differ significantly.
Therefore, this method gives fairly accurate value of the height of the mountain.
Coming to the second question, the MSL of all the oceans of the world is not the same. The mean sea level at the south-east end of the Panama Canal, in the Pacific Ocean, is seen to be higher than at the north-west side in the Atlantic Ocean.
Such variations arise from the oceanic currents, variations in atmospheric pressure, temperature and local salinity. In the same ocean itself, the earth rotation alters the MSL at different latitudes. Even temporal variation in MSL is observed at the same location mainly owing to tidal conditions.
You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day? O man, because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God. *
Man suffers so much simply for want of devotion to God. One should therefore adopt such means as would help the thought of God to arise in the mind at the last moment of one's life. The means is practice of devotion to God.*
There are pearls in the deep sea, but you must hazard all perils to get them. If you fail to get at them by a single dive, do not conclude that the sea is without them. Dive again and again, and you are sure to be rewarded in the end. So also in your quest for the Lord, if your first attempt to see Him proves futile, do not lose heart.*
A man who spends his time in discussing the good and the bad qualities of others simply wastes his own time. For it is time spent neither in thinking about one's own self nor about the Supreme Self, but in fruitless thiinking of others' selves.*
Be not a traitor to your thoughts. Be sincere, act according to your thoughts; and you shall surely succeed. Pray with a sincere and simple heart, and your prayers will be heard.*
Just to look in your eyes again
Just to lay in your arms
Just to be the first one always there for you
Just to live in your laughter
Just to sing in your heart
Just to be everyone of your dreams come true
Just to sit by your window
Just to touch in the night
Just to offer a prayer each day for you
Just to long for your kisses
Just to dream of your sighs
Just to know that I’d give my life for you
For you for the rest of my life
For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you
Just to wake up each morning
Just to you by my side
Just to know that you’re never really far away
Just a reason for living
Just to say I adore
Just to know that you’re here in my heart to stay
For you for the rest of my life
For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you
Just the words of a love song
Just the beat of my heart
Just the pledge of my life, my love, for you.
Love asked Friendship why are you
in the world when I am here?
Friendship smiled and said,
to spread smiles in those
eyes in which you
leave tears....
