Dad's & Mom's Love for a LIFE TIME :)

I've always feel that there is no one like my Dad and Mom.... and I probably dont know someone like my them who can love with soo much dedication...Dad has always been teaching us values... how to behave outside... how to eat... take bath... having food... how to sleep... He always knew the ABCs of parenting. There were times when we used to get scoldings the whole day... :)

Its always easy to say... "Children obey your parents"...! which I don’t do many a times :) always been aggressive used to think why do mom and dad tell us everything that we need to do and also they teach us how to do things... I’ve felt frustrated at times that I cannot simply do what I wanted to…. Now things have changed... I understand how the world is... Probably my mom and dad knew how people in this world are... and they never wanted us to face the situation of being betrayed or being heart broken... May be that was the reason they want their children to be choosy in making friends...We always need inspection ... and their probing questions.. They always wanted to know what time I was going to be home, where I was going, and when I would be there.... However I’am convinced today ... that doing all this saved me from being strayed... :)

Mom and Dad always made me learn how to make wise choice... When I've completed my 10th, my mom used to explain me all the subjects that I would have to study if I would choose biology or maths.. :) They also taught me how to stand strong under pressure... My dad always tell us how he was bought up and how he was treated in his childhood.. He has always been my model and HERO I needed... He taught us the importance of hard work and education... The mental image of my dad's nature always fuels and energizes my life today...

He tells us his life stories and teach through his stories... I’ve always felt-and still do – a deep admiration for all their achievements and I cherish a hope that once we will make them proud and win a high prestige and respect they are njoyin…. :)

May be because dad is the first male role-model in my life, he influenced my life in many profound ways… from how I see myself to what I expect from my othr male frnds… and also from the world… and I really sometimes start comparing all the other men to my father… he is the most loving… the most accepting… the most nurturing dad… Its like when dad is not around, without a beloved person to rely upon … I feel very insecure… and my fate makes me to meet delicate ppl whose mood changes frequently…people around me sometimes prove to be unreliable but at the same time I can’t be too choosy…and I hav to learn how to deal with such ppl as loneliness remains a much more frightening option for me… Whatever relation it may be…strong attachment may always become a barrier for the relation…also sometimes I’ am so very are unimpressed by exaggerated claims or promises and I want to know the facts behind any statement or idea that I hear from anyone….these feelings seamed to be filtered through my mind and intellectualized like a bad omen… but still when I have to make any vital decision I fall victim to emotions instead…I suddenly turn to act very passive… Its like I will be in a dead-locked state… within my own thoughts… and take advice from everyone later when I realize what has happened I turn aggressive within seconds…

Sometimes I feel like... Mom & Dad's love is enough for LIFE TIME :)
LOVE YOU both...!!!

Beautifulll Article..

Everyone, at some time in their lives, deals with a crisis. For some, the crisis is overwhelming: a hurricane; a devastating fire; a tragic car accident. For others, crises are more intimate: the death of a loved one; the disappointment of a dream; a setback at work.
No matter their size, crises can make people feel like God has abandoned them. How could God allow this to happen, they wonder? If you’re feeling that way right now, don’t worry. You’re not alone. A common reaction to crisis is fear of abandonment. I have lost everything, you think. No one can help me now.Well, I have good news for you. You have not lost everything. And someone can help you: God. God did not cause your crisis to happen. But even as you read this, he is right beside you, waiting patiently for you turn to him. That might seem hard to believe. But it is true. And if you let yourself believe it, even just a little bit at first, you will find that your impossible-seeming situation has a solution. For with God, all things are possible.
The Bible tells us that a person who turns to God “shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.” With God, you will not only overcome your crisis, you will emerge intellectually, emotionally and spiritually fortified. Just remember: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” The crisis you face right now may seem daunting. But God will see you through it. He will give you hope for a new day.

HAVE NO FEAR :
The Bible gives good advice for handling fear: "Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."
There are four parts to this. First, stop talking about your worry and pray. Second, ask God to show you how to deal with the situation. Third, and this is so important, after you ask for God’s help, thank him for it, thus letting him know you believe he is there. Fourth, tell him what you need.
Jesus says in the Bible, "Take heart, it is I. Have no fear." By turning your mind and heart to God, you rest in his promises and fortify yourself with his peace. Try it. Turn to God now and feel your fear gradually ebb away.

STAY CALM :
Often, after a crisis, we find ourselves terribly anxious, unable to think or function in a constructive way. Usually, this anxiety comes not from our bodies, but from our minds. We are thinking the wrong thoughts. So take some time right now to drain those tense thoughts and replace them with thoughts of peace, calmness and faith.
First, open your bible to the 23rd Psalm and read it aloud. Then, whenever anxiety strikes, pray, beginning with this passage from Psalm 46: "Be still and know that I am God." Ask God to take worrisome thoughts from your mind and replace them with his "peace that passes all understanding." If you are sincere in seeking God’s wisdom, you will be uplifted and strengthened.
When you call on God and take his promises seriously, you can meet any crisis with calmness, intelligence and dignity.

A TIME FOR SORROW :
Life deals us some chilling blows, and at times we find ourselves in despair. We don’t know which way to turn, our loss is so great.
God yearns to heal you of sadness. But before turning to him for help, it is important to remember that feelings of sorrow are nothing to be ashamed of. When you mourn the loss of a loved one or something else significant in your life, you acknowledge the great value that person or thing had for you. Your sadness honors their memory and celebrates their life.
No one, however, should remain sad forever. So when you feel yourself overwhelmed by sorrow, pray to God, asking him to heal your wounded heart. Rest assured, he will do exactly that.
If you find it hard to pray in the depths of despair, don’t worry. Just pour it all out to God, as a hurt child cries out to a parent. And it’s perfectly okay to cry. Tears are a safety valve for eliminating tension.
After praying, tell yourself you can make it. Say over and over, "We know that in everything, God works for good with those who love him, who are called to his purpose." Commit yourself to the Lord, trust him, and he will act. And you will find that one day soon, all this will be behind you, and you will look back on your sorrow as someone who has crossed a stormy sea to a calm shore

BE STRONG :
One of the great truths in life is that you are bigger than anything that can happen to you—as long as you know it and act accordingly. Rebuilding from a crisis is a perfect opportunity to ask God to release the creative ingenuity, wisdom and strength that lie within you.
How do you do this? First, pray to God and place your entire situation in his hands. Say, "God, I commit my challenges to you. Show me the way through them. Give me eyes to see your solutions and strength to act on them."
Then sit down and lay out your entire problem, perhaps on a piece of paper. Sketch out possible solutions and pray over them, asking God to show you which is right. When you
feel you have an idea of how to proceed, move forward resolutely, praying all the time for strength.
If doubts creep in, set them firmly aside with a quick prayer: "God, quell these fears and give me your strength." God will answer that prayer, and, step by step, you will find yourself drawing upon an inner power you perhaps never knew you had

SMALL STEPS :
Human beings can be very impatient. We want things right away. We believe our time is our own, and, when we have to wait, we become frustrated. God, however, is patient. His timetable is different from ours. And though that timetable often seems uncomfortably slow, rest assured that God’s timing is not only perfect, it is just what we need.
It is important to remember this when recovering from a crisis. Often we pray for solutions, for strength, for calm, for change—only to find our troubles persisting past what we thought was our breaking point. The temptation is great to conclude, God has forgotten about me.
That is the wrong conclusion. God has not forgotten about you. Rest assured, he is working
mightily on your behalf. However, he is working toward the right solution, not necessarily the solution you want right now.
This can be hard to accept. But you must remember that God sees your whole life, not just this difficult moment. He does not simply want to put things back the way they were. He wants to make a new and better life for you from the ashes of the old.
So stick to your plans. Go through them step by step. And if you’re feeling discouraged, remind yourself of God’s great truth: hard experiences will pass away. Not on our timetable. On God’s timetable. The best timetable.

LIVE BY FAITH :
Some people think faith means a skill of belief you must acquire before you can start calling upon God. That is not what faith means. Faith is simply the decision, each day, to act as if God’s promises are true and present in your life.
It is important to understand this quality of faith because, without it, your work overcoming crisis will be much more difficult. Faith is not a state of mind. It is a practice, a daily practice of calling upon God and trusting that he will respond—even when, sometimes, it seems he is far away.
How do you acquire this practice? By doing it. An easy way to start is simply to affirm your faith verbally. Say, "I believe. God is with me right now." Even if you haven’t completely taken the words to heart, saying them will cause your mind gradually to follow along.
Then pray this prayer: "Dear Jesus, in this time of trouble, I place my life and the lives of my loved ones in the shelter of your loving arms. I’m going to trust you to care for us in every way today. You only want good for your children, so whatever happens, you’ll work today for our benefit."
Once you have done this, approach each of the day’s tasks with the assumption that God is working beside you. The key is to hold on to this conviction even when events seem to be going against you. Remember St. Paul’s great promise: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
And don’t be surprised if living by faith brings you victory more quickly than you had expected. When you arm yourself with faith, you tap a wellspring of intellectual and emotional strength. Before you know it, you’ll be overcoming the calamities you face.

REACH OUT :
One of the best ways to recover from a crisis is to reach out to others. This may sound counterintuitive. But giving your time and energy to other people is one of the greatest boosters of strength and spirit.
How do you do this? First, reach out to God. Talk to him about everything, no matter how small, just as you would to a close friend or a loved one. Ask him for strength and creativity—and the discernment to see others who need your help.
Then look around. There is always someone in need. If your area has been devastated, pitch in when rebuilding begins. If you have lost a loved one, think about counseling others facing loss once you have recovered your own equilibrium.
Remember that all human beings experience troubles similar to your own. And, though it seems paradoxical, remember that the more you give, the more you grow. Alone, you might find this giving hard to do. But with God, it is not only possible, it is one of the key ways to recover your strength and sense of belonging in the world.
Try it now. Reach out to God. Then reach out to others.

THE POWER OF HOPE :
Here are some of the truest, most beautiful words ever written: "Why are you downcast, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God. For I shall again praise him, my help and my God."
Hope is a small word. But it is one of the most powerful. Why? Because in hope lies the power of the human soul to turn to God and live as if his promises are going to come true.
Some people think hope is an emotion. "I’m feeling hopeful," they say. But true hope is a discipline, a determination to believe in God’s reality and power, even when the world seems to be crashing down around you.
That is the genius and the power of hope.
It flies in the face of calamity, saying, "The world can do its worst to me. But still I will hope. Still I will know that this is the day the Lord has made, and he will take care of me."
The key to surviving a crisis is hope. Hope that Jesus loves you. Hope that he is, right now, working out a solution for you. Hope that the future you place in his hands will be better than the present you hold in your own.
Practice this hope, even if you have to will yourself to do it. With its power, you will overcome all things. You will pass from the night into hope for a new day

Some times Life amazes me....

I've got my appraisal last week... I've got Above expectation..

Life really amazes me sometimes...
Have you ever planned what to do in life... or how to live your life... :) I always do the same mistake...When I plan out things they wont turn the way I expect ....& sometimes I wont really plan anything and it is when the life really takes a worng turn before I realise the mistake....and I end up solving my problem, which I dont even understand.....Sometimes I feel like Iam the root cause so I need to find out the solution for such situations... Hmmmm...

The thing is, this time I've planned so very well and I was least expecting it to happen the way I wanted..... and it really amazes me to know that it all came out so very well and as I want things to happend.. I know I've worked hard and put my strength in working in this project... though it doesnt need any ;) but still I worked like a dog... seriously! even when I was non-billable... I was wishing to get AE and I vowed to myself but somewhere I had a feeling that things always wont happen as I wish them to happen.... and when I really got it, it is hard to accept it :) When you look at certain things, they may look easy, but when you look into it again... everything turns blue and they seam to be impossible...
I must say its all because of God's amazing Grace :)... this reminds me of the song..."Your amazing grace..."

I wish I was tought how to enjoy LIFE

Why do I blog..?

I blog because life amazes me sometimes, and I want to put down the amazing things... and I wnt to capture those fleeting moments...the wisp of a moment, which would quickly fade away... and which I wish to recollect more often.....

I write when I feel like it.... and u read when u feel like it.. I blog because it makes me to articulate my thoughts..... Sometimes, I don't know what I think, until I write it down.... Examine my thoughts.... analyse them.... Sometimes what comes out in a blog surprises me....The act of translating thoughts into words forces me to be precise...I even learn new things this way...

There is something about September

September always makes me think of bad endings and new beginnings....This seams to be the most depressing month... This reminds me of all the sad things tat happen in life... We lost Mamma on 21st, it was when we were wishing for something unexpected...
We wished it was all a bad dream....

We wish someone could tell us tat it was not him....

Life could have been so wonderfull for all his dear ones if he was still with us...they still expect God is going to do good things for them... He snatched him away to heaven leaving us behid to suffer his agonizing deaths...It reallly makes me cry... This month seams so Dark to me...Only for this reason it really makes me feel tat there are so many bad things that happend to me in September...But there has been something that gives strength and a way to control our feelings and we finally understand that LIFE goes on... Though it looks like "September" will never end...

"Wake me up when September ends!!"
