Those two words

Those two words.
Those sweetest two words.
Those lovely two words.
Today is the day I will hear them again.
The only reason for writing this post is that I would love to hear those two words from you.
It's my b'day today. :)

Some Gyan from Vidya

Many times we are afraid to do things which are good to us just because what others would say. I came across this piece of article by Vidya Balan on Women's day issue of TimesLife.

I was very young when I heard this story. It was as much a source of inspiration then as it is now. The story is about the frog. He, along with many other animals , was trying to make it to the top of the well. While he took one step at a time, he realised there were animals below him who told him that he shouldn’t  try and that he would slip and fall and never make it. There were animals at the top who told him to give up because it was useless and that he would eventually fall.

Guess what? The frog made it to the top! Everyone was shocked. The animals asked him, "How did you manage this difficult feat?" They got no answer. They asked him repeatedly until they realised that the frog was deaf!

PS: I guess sometimes it is in our best interest to be intentionally deaf. What do you say?

Do you feel life is miserable?

Sadness

I was reading article on Shivaratri  by Sri Sri and then this one line struck me. "Be grateful for the happiness which leads to growth, and also for sadness which gives depth to life."

Being grateful for happiness is alright, but being grateful for sadness? How can or rather why should we be grateful for sadness? Those of you who have just come out of sadness or are going through it, would be in better position to understand my question.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I assume few of you might have gone through sadness due to heart-break, break-up, absence of a lover or other heart related issues. Do you think the sadness you went through has given depth to your life?

You are free to answer it even if you never had any heart related issues, though I doubt you never had any! :)

I See You

Well, "I See You" means more than just mere seeing in Na'vi langauge.  By the way, the Na'vi are inhabitants of Pandora. :)

I watched this movie "Avatar" yesterday and am totally blown up by it! It is one of the best movies I have seen till date. I had totally gone into the movie, though it was 2D. I will surely watch it's 3D version, if I got the chance.

The movie has got a superb story, and the breakthrough technology is nicely used to present the beautiful masterpiece.

Some movies have a soul. This is one of them.
Do watch it, if not in 3D than atleast on a very big screen!

Thanks to VV

Thanks to VV, my blog got a new look! :) Here is how.

On Saturday evening as I was surfing through blogs, I came across this blog whose template I noticed has been changed. I didn't feel the new template was a good one and put a comment on that blog regarding the same. In reply I was asked if I could help in renovation of that blog. Long ago, I had bookmarked few sites where good templates could be found. And I was to find one for my blog in future from these sites. So, I emailed this list to VV.

Then I thought, let me also find a good template, enough of postponding. After spending few minutes, I got a nice template. It had a very pleasing header picture. But I did't like its body. So spend next few minutes to modify that. Later on I realised it was futile to do so and decided to modify my old minimal template by myself! :) And the end result is what you see.

Thanks VV. :)

What's your wish?

I watched Aladin last night, and came to think of wishes.

All of us have some wishes, and even if they are many, we would like to believe they are just a few! :) In the past as well, you must have had them. Some of them got fulfilled and made you happy. Though, the joy might have lasted for few hours or so. Some of them didn't get fulfill and you were sad. But after sometime (may be years), you realised it was good, infact very good that they didn't get fulfill and that made you happy.

Even though, we have been having so many wishes, so different from eachother, since the time we got to know to wish, isn't there something common in all of them? Are we in search of something? Is our each wish an attempt to get that something?

I am not able to figure out that! Can you?
