EVERYTHING HAS A REASON!!

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away they were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them and you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair, but in reflection ;you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never would realize your potential, strength, will power, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, and lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all acure to test limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to know where safe and comfortable but dull and otterly pointless.

The people you meet affect your life. The successes and the downfalls that you experience can create whom you are and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make everything count. Appreciate everything you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.

Talk to people whom you have never talked to before and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you're a great individual and believe in yourself, ... Create your own life and then go out and live it.

well lastly if ur currenlty reading this post then it has a reason too!!cheers!!

a few practical quotes!!!

"the first step to getting the things u want out of life is this:decide wat u want."-ben stein

"a friend is one who knows us well,but loves us anyway."-jerome cummings

"your learning is useless to u,till u have lost ur textbooks,burnt ur lecture notes,and forgotten the minutiae which u learnt by heart for the examination."-alfred north whitehead

"the problem with political jokes is they get elected"-henry cate

"remember the two benefits of failure.first you learn wat doesn work and second it gives you the oppurtunity to try a new approach."-roger von oech

"whenever u are asked if u can do a job,tell them certainly i can!then get busy and find out how to do it."-theodre roosevelt

"to belive in urself and to follow ur dreams,to have goals in life and a drive to succeed and to surround urself with the things and the ppl that make u happy-this is success."-sasha azevedo

Change ur consiousness and change your world!!

long time back i read this article in a local magazine and found it really captivating so jus thought i ll put down a gist of wat i remember of it...here it goes!!!
Well jus visualise this....see urself acting as if u had everythin u wanted ,capture the feeling of completeness and satisfaction u would have...ahhhh wat a wonderful feeling it is...and ya it is possible...
thougths are the things that create ur reality which means u can only have things that are in harmony with ur thoughts and beliefs..hmmm tat s universal law for u!!for example If u don get a job it was because there was something equal or better awaiting u out there..this wonderful knowing itself gives u a sense of freedom of calm and peace of mind...knowing that god is the source and substance of ur supply and that ppl are jus channels is absolutely key to ur happiness,success and prosperity...
the next important point to getting prosperous is to begin to affirming that ur prosperous...so over and over again say "i am prosperous " and say it with meaning!!
right now jus know that ur mind is one of your prized possesions...well then ask urself ..wat kind of a life are u building for urself?? a magnificient one or a limited one??everything that has been available to everyone is also available to u...start knowing the potentiality of one is the potentiality of all..never underestimate urself or others...if anyone has wealth u can have too,if anybody has a beautiful home u can have it too,if anyone has a beautiful partner u can too...for after all LIFE'S A STATE OF CONSIOUSNESS...and as the saying goes..."AS A MAN THINKETH IN HIS HEART,SO IS HE"....CHEERS!!

YOU CAN SAVE LIVES TOO!!

For a long time I have been wanting to put this down here…after a lot of information collected from doctors, the net and from magazines I am gonna put this down here…this is one post which I jus don want ppl to read but actually learn it and spread it to as many as possible…wat I am gonna talk abt here is how u could administer a CPR(cardio pulmonary resuscitation) to a person whose jus lost his heart beat!! So here I go to tell u wat u should do to become a life saver and ultimately “GOD “to that persons FAMILY AND FRIENDS…
Firstly be bold and act smartly rather than shyin away from the situation.call up the ambulance and rush to the victim. If the victim shows no signs of breathing,let the person lie down with chin facing up. Tilt the head back, pinch the nose and cover the victim s mouth with ur mouth and blow until u see the chest rise. Then put ur hands on the centre of the chest and press. Keep pumping the chest atleast 100 times until the person responds or until help arrives.

Well these are the things u could do which could probably save someone s life..trust me it doesn require a medical degree to do this..all it requires is a sensitive heart and a sound mind….try this out next time wen ur caught in an emergency and soon u ll know tat saving a life is not jus a doctors job....now after reading this pls try to pass it on to one person atleast…it may sound silly for me to put it up on my blog and actually beg u to pass it on but I don mind doin it as long as it saves someone s life for after all; i know how it is to loose ur dear ones jus becoz of sheer indifference or ignorance…so I thought instead of brooding over how indifferent or insensitive ppl are I’d rather help in imparting that small knowledge which could drive off that bit of ignorance and indifference ….so be bold, and know that “YOU COULD GIVE A SECOND LIFE TO A PERSON”..

now here s the link wher u can see how to administer cpr to a person...

Right here right now!!

I decided to write on somethin which i love to do or rather somethin which i enjoy doin .okie let me not keep u guessing.Wat impresses me the most???not looks,not intelligence not money,not any materialistic things….phew!!!then wats it???its nothin but the very act of being selfless!!!yes!! i jus love people who are selfless…I strongly believe that the happiness you get after helping someone can be got no where..The moment that person turns upto u and says a thankyou!!!oh my god it feels like heaven that time…if u haven experienced it try it out and see.Ul agree with me.Now why did i choose this topic???simple i was truly impressed by one person and i jus wanted to write about him and tell the world that it still has the best of people!!ok here goes the story.
There s this doctor called MOHAN KMESHWARAN a renowned E.N.T specialist in chennai;the place where i reside.Incase u didnt know who he is ;all i can say is u have missed out on him!!but nevermind ;here i am to talk abt his deeds...wats in him that other doctors lack???or probably is it that i know him better; so his deeds seem big to me…wat ever it may be!!!its jus that a man of such high stature these days cannot act as humble as him!!he was also one of the padma shree awardees last year.i have jus been followin up his activities for the past 1 and a half yrs or so and that itself has impressed me so much.we all grumble about how much work we have wen we actually don have so much!!But this doctor whose busy 24/7 performin 6-7 surgeries a day seems to take it so lightly..i used to wonder how its possible??as in how can someone be so cool and composed wen they r surrrounded by people of all age groups jus treating him as god!!probably tat composure is wat the profession demands!!!only after seein him did i come to the conclusion that there s somethin more in life than books and our normal day today routine!!so why are u waitin for??so jus make up ur mind and perform a good deed today and feel the happiness!!!and i am sure u ll come to know wat real happiness is!!be happy and make others happy !!!so go ahead!!the world is waitin for u ,ur ppl are waitin for u!!show them who u are and make a difference”right here right now”!!!!

Wat s with the P's and Q's!!

Have u ever thanked ppl ;or ever repented for the small mistakes u ve done ;or requested someone to do a help for u!! well if u haven i must say u have kinda missed out on somethin big...wats it??nothin but real "happiness"!!ppl may ask wats in a please or a thank you?? why be so formal...but try using those words the next time and u ll feel the difference ur self!! there again ppl may argue why be so formal to ur close friends and family...??well ya may be but consider everyone as an individual and u ll realise those words have nothin to do with formality or relationships..rather its jus a token of sayin things in a nicer and a more pleasant way whoever be the person....everyone of us like to be treated well be it our friends,family,anyone....so wen we can say a sorry or a thank u or a please to some outsider why not to ppl close to us...after all it is those ppl who matter a lot to us then why hestitate to say it!!

ever thanked ur mom for the cup of tea she makes at any time in the night,ever requested ur dad to do a help for u or ever said a genuine sorry to ur friends for a mistake u ve done???try this out and soon u ll know how grudges can jus be vanished into thin air rather than being carried throughout ur life!!

life is really short and no one knows wats in store for them ..so be thankful for the small gestures which make the present moment memorable...appreciate small things around u , thank ppl for any kind of help they ve done to u,request ppl rather than ordering them , have courage to accept ur mistake...after all these small gestures make our life worth living...so remember next time ur being helped by someone say a thank u, or wen u trip on someone in the road say a sorry,!! and wen those words are used on u accept it humbly and be happy of the work u ve done..after all we all deserve to be treated in a nice way....!!!so treat ppl the way u want to be treated... soon u ll know wat it takes to make a difference to someone...so there u go..."make a difference to feel the difference in u"!!cheers!!

SHE S STILL A DREAM TO ME!!

After a lot of contemplation I ve decided to put this down here. Finally I ve drawn myself to write it .I am gonna describe the person i miss the most today. RAMYA-my sister,my friend, my partner in crime, my college gossip updater, in short –a person who was my world. It is after she left me tat i started feeling the emptiness in my life. Wen ppl say we gotta forget things and move on.. yes I do agree!!but hell why forget the person and their small gestures which had brought in immense happiness to us..well this is why I chose to write abt her so that I keep her alive in my thoughts atleast.

Ramya and me have grown up together. She was jus 3 months younger to me. We used to be more of the cool cats in the house and showin a bit of attitude-“the give a dam types” to the older ones …our school days were lot of fun..i was kinda studious then; flaunting off my grades and stuff to her.. though we both studied in different schools we made sure we introduced all our friends to each other. We never used to study together as our way of studying was different but we used to have those short discussions on various subjects and update each other of wat we knew.. we had two other sisters too and four of us used to be grouped into two for all those stupid small fights and stuff..every summer vacation we used to visit Bombay where my aunt stayed..my god I still remember the innumerable times we ve had that road side pani puri in bombay,the mc donalds burger we used to long to eat as it wasn in Chennai then, the shoppin we used to do,the theme parks we used to go…jus makes me feel bad wen I think that such things will never happen again.
suddenly times flew,we grew older, and started considering each other more as friends than as sisters.. all four of us were unique in our own ways but there was one thing common in all of us…we loved spending time together and yappin all day about almost everythin …we longed to be with each other wen we weren together…

now for the best yrs of my life with ramya…undoubtedly my college yrs…god studYin in the same college as hers gave me so much pride…we both were so excited abt bein together…there again though we did different streams we never used to miss out on our share of fun especially during the bus rides, the lunch breaks ,after coll hrs…god still cant forget our silly comments on ppl around us…if there was one person who understood me fully and let me be myself totally it was her only!!!actually there are two three of my friends too who understand me quite well and let me by myself but none who can take her place obviously..!!

wat I miss the most these days is her comments and teasings , and her stupid yet cute logics which was mostly directed towards me and our friends…I never used to get offended at any point coz I also used to do the same kind of teasing with her…I miss all those bithes,dogs,idiots,etc….we both were more of the fun loving type…we gotta have a lighter moment in whatever we did…otherwise we wouldn enjoy it….we always used to treat ppl the way they treated us…talk to all but be friends with few was our policy…I still follow the same…she s one person who ll never hestitate to say wat she feels and becoz we used to be together all the time we both started adopting each other s policies,…

the last time all of us had fun together was during my elder sister s wedding,,and obviously dec 31 st 2007-the last day she and I spoke ..we enjoyed every bit of it!! I still wish we could go back to those days!!

Finally a note on how life has changed without ramya for me. It is only after she left us that we ve realized the value of life..we realized that life can change in jus a wink of our eyes…my entire family struggled a lot for the initial two months after she left us….each of us din know how to convince the other as all were equally affected….at that juncture only friends played such a big role…all our friends helped us come out of the shock…and today wen we think of ramya we remember her good deeds which has earned her the best of friends ……
Lastly I d like to say “life never stops at any point for anyone..it jus moves on come wat may…it is hard to forget our dear ones but wat we can do is keep them alive in our thoughts and actions… so here after live life every moment like it was ur last and appreciate the small gestures happening around u..coz u never know wen u ll be able to do it!! therefore there s no bad time to do the right thing… !! so jus go ahead and enjoy ur life..don let other ppl steal ur happiness from u coz ultimately wat ur life is; its solely becoz of u… cheers!!
