The first Rains !


Rains....almost everyone would hold a pleasant or an unpleasant memory with a rainy day!! To me it’s like drops of memory......that fall on me and follow me throughout in life.

This was very recent...I'd decided to walk in the rains with no reasons at all. (I don't enjoy them as I did before!!) It was pouring crazy and was the first rains of monsoon. I had just met a few of my friends...who did of course offer to drop me home by the car...but the wired me had a firm mind to walk home.

I did have an Umbrella but it dint really help much. I could see only a few cars, gallons of water flowing down the road, all people trying to squeeze in where they could find some shelter from the rains, cars stopping along on the road as they could not drive ahead.

Thinking of the rain to me it is the
condensation of thoughts and emotions into unmanageable feelings and behavior that pour out....they are so heavy that they just drop to the surface and yet can’t be differentiated. Depending on the condensation and the swift of the wind the power of it is defined......(Does that make sense??)

Continuing on this day....after quite a lot of walking in the rain a car approached towards me and stopped there with a sweet lady lowering her window and asking me if I need to be dropped somewhere...I was amazed...I just answered to her, '. Thank you aunty! I am ok' I was just wondering if she was not ok? or I was not ok? As I walked ahead I saw this old man who with a bag of food was try to cross the road. He was signaling the traffic that he could not see due to the rains to please slow down and allow him to cross. I went up to him held his hands that were shivering in cold took him under the umbrella and walked him across the road.

I walked with him till his small little hut where is old wife stood waiting. She worked as a maid at homes close by, he told me. He was affectionate and blessed me like any other Indian old man would do. I was pleased that he reached home and enjoyed the moment when the two of them waved at me with a smile as I continued to walk towards home.

As I continued to walk my way home, I had another car to my surprise stop and ask me if I needed a drop. This time it was a man who was aged as much as my dad, with a sweet smile he asked me would you need a drop? No Uncle I am ok, I said and continued to walk. I had noticed his car a few minutes before as he had parked along the road.

I was wonder struck when I thought of the events that occurred as I walked in the rain.....Why was I offered a drop twice to my destination while the old man on the road was left alone to reach his destination. I wonder why?? There could have been anyone with an umbrella to walk out of their car and help him across. Why dint that happen? Why was there no one to initiate??

With all the thinking running through me.....i looked to my left to find myself in front of my home. I slowly walked in to find my mom and grand parents asleep....I sneaked in and changed before anyone realized I walked in the rains. But there is always a question in my mind 'Why?' for every happening of life.

Cheers to life!

Its not tough to value people.......everyone is worth it!!!


Woman!!
A little child asked its mother:
"Why do you cry?"
"Because I am a woman"she answers.
"I dont understand" the child says.
His mother hugs the child and says : "and you will never".


Later the little child asked its father: "Why does mommy cry?"
"All women cry for no reason", is all that his father could answer him.


When the child became an adult it asked god:
"God, why do women cry so easily?"
And God answered:
"when I created woman, she needed to be special.
I created her shoulders strong enough to bear the weight of the world.....
And soft enough to be comfortable."
"I gave her the strenth to give life,
The kind that accepts the rejection that often comes from children."
"I gave her the strength to allow her to go on when everyone else gives up.
The kind that takes care of her family, despite illness and fatigue."
"I gave her the sensitivity to love her children uncinditionally
Even when they have hurt her deeply."
"I gave her the strngth to endure her husband in his faults
And to stay at his side without weakening."
"And finally , I gave her tears to shed whenever she needs them to be shed."
"You see my child the beauty if a woman is not in the clothes she wears, nor is it in her face or in the way she does her hair"
THE BEAUTY OF A WOMEN RESIDES IN HER EYES.
IT IS THE DOOR TO HER HEART;
THE DOOR WHERE LOVE RESIDES.
"And it often through her tears that you see her heart go by."

To those who made you simle, when you needed it the most.....To those who have made you see the good side of things when you only saw the bad....
To those to whom you want to say...How much you value their friendship...or simply....
....thank you for giving me a glimpse of.....
....a better world....
Respect every human in life for life to return it to you!!
Treat the woman in your life with respect ( just views from all*!). It means putting her in high regard no matter who she is, where she came from and where she is heading towards. It means valuing her spirit within. If you show respect to any woman you meet this way, you will have a sure spot in her heart. She will respect you back and so will life.

Take the time to understand woman’s nature. This includes her physical and emotional makeup. True, a lot of men complained about how women can be very hard to understand and predict.
Women can be very mellow one minute and erupt in rage the next moment. Men should not get discouraged with this for its just one small part of how a woman is (The way men say, ‘That’s how we are!’ or That’s how I am!’). When you put more time understanding a woman’s mind and heart, you will find that women are lovable. You just need to know how to appreciate her uniqueness (Every human is unique!!).

Appreciate her by your love and gentleness; for all that she has done for you to be what you are today. Showing love means being patient, being kind, listening to her with an open mind, supporting her dreams, seeking out her good, etc (I am not kind or patient with my mom or others but most importantly I try!!).

The best way you can show your appreciation to the woman in your life is thru your words. It’s an important step not just to improve your relationship with her but also to make her feel wonderful and happy (genuinely!).

Tell her what a wonderful job she is doing at home, in her career, in school, community, what a wonderful cook she is, her recent accomplishment, etc. Remember to let her know also how much she means to you. Use words to encourage and support her to do the things she loves.

Spending time with her……. It’s the best investment you can ever make to maintain your place in a woman’s heart. Find even few minutes each day to focus yourself on the women who are dear to you (positively). Even a simple conversation with her means so much and will let her feel appreciated.

“Make a special woman in your life smile today; above all days, make them smile today!”
Cheers to life and womanhood!

Check if you understand this??

This one is totally not my kinds but I am trying to put it in words!!


Major topic in everyone's life!! LOVE....wow....no too much philosophy but just a small narration.


I observe people for reasons unknown to me, times unknown and some observations just remain deep within me and come out like this one!!


This was on a very busy road near Vijaynagar (Bangalore) .......I was walking my way on a hot summer afternoon with all my madness. I thought I was the only one mad but as I walked I saw a cute couple with their faces shining bright in love.(unmarried, but in love for life)

Both of them looked very cute and walked hand in hand.(very much Bollywood) One could see the love in them as they walked amidst the crowded street yet in their own sweet world of 'love'. Appreciable for their age and to my critical eye they walked very respectable.



I was to cross the road with this couple ahead. I was watching them continuously!! The lady in love was quick and the gentleman was careful about his love.......What a moment it was when this girl took a step to cross the road and the traffic rushed from the other end of the road.


He was prepared and knew her moves. He spontaneously pulled her back with all the force his in his hands and all the love in his heart, stepping back she turned to look into his eyes....And they looked at each other as the traffic and people continued with their respective tasks.....none watched them...but they watched each other and felt no one there.


She waited for him to speak, but he smiled and the had everything said to each other with no words. Moments froze.....for them with each other and for me with questions!!


Why was it that I could feel that they were in love???
Pulling her back and looking into each others eyes...was this love???
What was it that was spoken and still remained unsaid???
What was it that was understood just by the two of them???
How was it that they had their world amidst the crowds???
How was it that he knew her so well???
What was she waiting for?? a smile or words as I thought???
Did she really wait for anything or was it just my illusion???
Was it a moment of love that I witnessed???
IS THIS LOVE???


If it was may their love flourish and may they together live happily all their life!


To this couple it was just another moment of love in life, which they might not have noticed themselves. But for me it was among those moments when something was strange now and became familiar in a matter of time!!


Cheers to lives in love !!
