Just yesterday I saw Asmi my lil kid sitting and doing her homework. She is very particular about the way she does her work. Has her own style to do things..so when she sits to do her homework she makes sure that she has this big eraser with her. She was engrossed in her homework..and then suddenly she seemed to get upset with herself. She looked around.. i could see a frown on her cute face and then she slowly picked up the eraser and rubbed off the mistake she had made while writing, making sure that the eraser marks are not seen on the paper...as she rewrote on the erased paper and i could not help but notice her smile as she finished off the work. She got up and came to me beaming with joy....and showed me her homework...it was a neat job..I asked her....so beta did you use the eraser...she smiled and said "haan ek baar" and she told me how she corrected it.
After she left to play with her friend...i kept thinking of what i had just seen...and with nothing better to do.....a few thoughts came up in my mind....the paper that she was writing her homework...appeared to be like our life.....the pencil...which she used to write on the paper appeared like us....humans......and the eraser....it was like the moment god gives us to rectify our mistakes....and how true it is.....our life too is like that white paper...and its upto to us how we end up using it......for asmi....she wanted it to be neat and clean....she wrote slowly and made sure nothing was untidy..the same is with us too.....some of us choose to live a clean life...careful with everything we do...every decisions we make. The pencil she used to write is like us....its upto us as to how we write on that blank paper.....whether we want it to be clean.....patchy .......colorful...or at times torn and tattered and the eraser......its the oppurtunity that we get....to make amends and make our lives better.
I feel that i have not been as good as my kid when it comes to handling life...i have had so many oppurtunites to make amends....try to make things better but have lacked the will power or the heart to try...wonder why i end up being meek....maybe i am not the only one who feels this way.....if you have read this and u feel u can add to what i have just said i would welcome your thoughts......

A tribute to my Dad !!
YOU LEFT US ALL SO SUDDENLY
YOU WENT AWAY SO FAR
YOU TOOK YOUR PLACE UP ABOVE THERE
YOU HAVE BECOME A SHINING STAR
I MISS YOUR WORDS OF AFFECTION
I MISS YOUR WORDS OF CARE
YOU MAY HAVE GONE FOR EVER
YOUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH ME EVERYWHERE
YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME
YOU ALWAYS HELPED ME ON
YOUR ABSENCE IS FELT IMMENSLY
NOW THAT YOU ARE GONE
NOW THAT YOU HAVE LEFT US
DON'T DEPRIVE US OF YOUR CARE
MY EYES STILL SEARCH FOR YOU
HOPING THAT THEY MIGHT SEE YOU SOMEWHERE
THE TRUTH IS YOU'LL BE WITH US
IN GOOD TIMES AND IN BAD
GOD WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU
REST IN PEACE DEAR DAD

Hurt
Just yesterday i got to hear a few words that were said to me and I am surprised that how quickly rejection sensitivity and/or stress can kick in. I sat alone all morning retrospecting the things that affect me and my life and ended up being more confused.I deduce from my own retrospection that I suffer from "Low Self Esteem"
Many people have a good self-esteem. They have a great deal of inner confidence. They know who they are and any sort of negativity would not internally affect them. They would have just pressed the ignore button and continued on with their life. Many of you can do that and many cannot me included.
One can apply this to many situations in life. Do you ever say to yourself: Why do I become upset or stressed so easily where others do not? Why does it take so little to make me cry? People say I worry too much. I get angry quickly and easily. People have said they have to walk on eggshells around me. I can go from one mood to another in a matter of seconds. All it takes is just one instant of rejection and I'm on a downer. Even though I know in my head that I am over reacting and this is silly, I can't help my feelings. Just the thought of rejection frightens me. I know I am a good person but when people say bad things about me, it still hurts even why I know they are wrong.
I have put forward a foreword on this topic and I would appreciate each one of you who has read this topic to put in his/her views.

What women say and what they actually mean
ARE YOU WILLING TO: This means you better do it.
FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of "those" arguments.
FIVE MINUTES: This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.
NOTHING: This means "something" and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and will end with the word "Fine".
GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows): This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine".
GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows): This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care". You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine", and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.
LOUD SIGH: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here arguing with you over "Nothing".
SOFT SIGH: Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sigh" means that she is content. Your best bet is not to move or breathe, and she will stay content.
THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead". At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.
PLEASE DO: This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay".
THANKS: A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say "you're welcome".
THANKS A LOT: This is much different than "Thanks". A woman will say "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh". Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh" as she will only tell you "Nothing".
FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of "those" arguments.
FIVE MINUTES: This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

A sad poem about the reality of drinking and driving
Drunk Driving Poem
A sad poem about the reality of drinking and driving
I went to a party, Mom, I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank soda instead
I really felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive, Mom, even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending
Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me, so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mom, but as I pulled out into the road,
the other car didn't see me, Mom, and hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say,
the other guy is drunk, Mom, and now I'm the one who will pay.
I'm lying here dying, Mom.. I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me, Mom, and most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others, Mom. The others didn't think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank and I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom, and I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven, Mom, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom, not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom, before I say good bye.
I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?

Do do not stand on my grave and weep !!
This is a beautiful poem which was given to me by a friend from ICQ and it really touched my heart.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep,I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight, I am the star shine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing,
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I did not die.
Mary Frye
