We are choosing hope over fear !!!!

We are choosing hope over fear., originally uploaded by sharaff.

I first liked that color combination but, the lines below that photo was more powerful i believe. it says

“Hope — hope is what led me here today. With a father from Kenya, a mother from Kansas and a story that could only happen in the United States of America.

Hope is the bedrock of this nation. The belief that our destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by all those men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be.

We are choosing hope over fear.”
By Barack Obama.

Another good pic i got from Flickr.

somebody said once “I despise making the most of one’s time. Half of the pleasures of life consist of the opportunities one has neglected.”

I Remember…

I remember the pretty face
I remember that sweet smile
I remember the touch of your skin
I remember the warmth of your kiss

I remember you holding my hand
I remember your sleeping face
I remember you humming a song
I remember you dancing with a tune

I remember the joy of togetherness
I remember the pain of loosing
I remember the feel of loneliness
I remember the smile of hurt

I remember the words you said
I remember the promises you maid
I remember those good times
I remember this until my end

My Confort Zone

I am so busy that i forgot to open my blog these days until i found something interesting today. I saw this in the net but the author name is unknown….The title given for the same is “My Confort Zone”.

I used to have a comfort zone
where I knew I wouldn’t fail.
The same four walls and busywork
were really more like jail.

I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before,
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

I said it didn’t matter that I wasn’t doing much.
I said I didn’t care for things like commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.

If you’re in a comfort zone,
afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.

Reach for your future with a smile;
success is there for you!

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing, originally uploaded by Silvia de Luque.

I saw this photo in Flickr. It reminds me about one line i read somewhere :

“Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait. The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don’t count.”

Known Stranger…:-)

On the side of a country road
I found someone waiting alone
When my eyes collide with her
Strange feeling made me shiver

I know this face long ago
But where is the life in those eyes
Without a single word or thought
We started walking together

With the golden rays of evening sun
We took the road which has no ending
The birds are singing on our way
The night is ready to take us away

Evening thoughts…:-)

Today is very different… Don’t know why…After office I took my bullet (my bull is my part of life now) and gone for a long ride…evening was pleasant enough and after couple of kilometers I was away from the mad traffic…I had a car here in Bangalore but I was totally fed up with that for parking, driving in this stupid traffic etc…I am lucky I don’t have one now… Bull is good …you can feel the surroundings …the wind blowing against your face…you can feel the ride in all aspect …

Life was always different to me. ..I always had a reason for my thoughts and actions…I never tried to think life from others point of view…I paid a huge price for that…but still I am not changed that much…why is it like that? Why can’t I pretend at least?

I got two comments today on different occasions…

one told me …”you are a dreamer and there is no way you can live the way you want…forget it…your thoughts are not gelling with the society…you are answerable to lot of people…mind it”

My mind said…”sree …you have only one life…forgets the society rules …this is also created by people like you once…so you have all the rights to change the rules…if people can’t understand you, its not your fault…may be they can’t think from your point of view…” (This is why I love myself…J)

On the other occasion I had to give solutions to someone’s problem. He told me…”No wonder people think you are arrogant…you are truthful to your thoughts and your actions…change it dude…otherwise the mass crowd won’t accept you”

My mind told me…” forget the crowd…you are surrounded with some good people who can understand you as you…who are there for you every time you need…don’t look for the quantity look for the quality…”

The evening was pleasant …I turned my bike…while riding my mind started singing a scorpion song

“I saw the evening
Fading shadows one by one
We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
The children of the sun
How they wept, how they bled, how they died

Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a heaven in the sky
Why cant we stop the fight

cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why cant we live as one…

The song goes on …like my thoughts…never ending…

I told myself …follow your dream…never allow time to fade it…

Beach

Last week I was there in Chennai. I had a very nice time even though the temperature was high. In the evening I went to the beach.

It’s a long time I visited a beach. My camera was not with me so I missed some shots there. Looking at the waves I felt like they were speaking to me. I sat there for sometime.I felt like scribbling…

Like a dolphin I want to swim
Like a wave I want to rise
I felt the freshness of a sunrise
I felt the calmness of a sunset

I saw a lonely girl sitting nearby
Tears filled her eyes like pearls
I started walking back
Thinking about her in my mind

Scattered thoughts filled my way
From a distance I looked back
She was sitting really far
Like a lonely boat in the endless Ocean
