Happy New Year !

The clock  for 2014 has come to end . Before we could recollect the happy times, sad times, bad incidents , good incidents - the days and moments have turned into memories .

New Year accompanies us with 365 days of time into our life with  all freshness  . These days can be worst / bad / good / better /  best based on our attitude to the situations we come across in the next days.

NEW YEAR comes with new THOUGHTS
NEW YEAR comes with new RESOLUTIONS
NEW YEAR comes with new WISHES
NEW YEAR comes with new DREAMS
NEW YEAR comes with new HOPES

NEW YEAR gives an OPPORTUNITY
NEW YEAR gives an AMBITION
NEW YEAR gives an UNSAID STORY

Let's welcome NEW YEAR with PEACE
Let's welcome NEW YEAR with LOVE
Let's welcome NEW YEAR with INTEGRITY
Let's welcome NEW YEAR with HAPPINESS

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY  NEW YEAR 2015 !!

MONEY

I'M - Dream of poor, struggle of common and status of rich. 

Day in and day out you all put in your best efforts to sustain your lives by working hard. Few of you get your wishes fulfilled, few of you undergo the process of struggle and few of you still dare to think of the life you want to live.  

The moment you attain the self goals you have to be happy.Irony is that neither of  you are happy (most of the cases) .Poor envy rich for the things they got because of me and Rich envy poor for the peace of mind they have.

Question is are you  HAPPY and PEACEFUL  because of  ME or CONTENTEDNESS?

You start day with my thought
You envy me for everything i gave 

I'm the reason for the bread on your plate 
I'm the reason for the people around you
I'm the reason behind fragile relationships
I'm the reason for the negative shades in you
I'm the reason for the best life

I'm only the means for your happiness
I'm only the means for the people who stand by you
I'm only the means at times of crisis

In the race of achieving me,you lose peace
In the race of achieving me, you lose character
In the race of achieving me, you lose time
In the race of achieving me , you lose everything

I'M NOBODY..I'M JUST MONEY...JUST MONEY !!

Happy B'day

It's been long I have written any article. Is it the time that hold me back from writing or was it my laziness , I have minimum levels of knowledge to judge. 

Arun  and Vamsi , as always were curious for the next article from me . Whenever this question was asked to me , I just ignored  by shrugging my shoulders.

Better late than never as they , I start fresh again putting down the ideas.

Today , one of the pal from our group is in other part of the globe pursuing his dreams .
Isn't it the best occasion to start again ? I felt that it's the best way to start .

I , along with Arun and Vamsi, take this opportunity to wish you HAPPY BIRTHDAY  VIJAY. 

We may be miles apart 
We may not exchange words every day 

The bond we share is eternal
Even the unsaid words are understood from our signatures
 
Every minute we spend, makes us nostalgic 
Even this phase of life shall also pass 

We wait for your return
With the flying colours of  yours 
Brings smile to us .

We pray to God for your Wellness and Prosperity 

GOD BLESS !!

100 Likes :)

"Do the work and the price will be paid " is often said , the importance of it proved once again today in my life. Eager to know ? Here it is!

Finishing lunch at office cafeteria , I was walking out. Out of blue moon I see friend Vamsi , after decent time (5 days :P ). We started with a pep talk and landed on the topic , Blog at the end.

He acknowledged me for the latest article Father and how it moved him. Before I could reply , he started introducing me with his other folks explaining about my work in writings , career and how eager he was  like others to read my new article.

I was overwhelmed for few moments , as I was getting celebrity status , though I'm not. Who would mind if you get one ? ;)

Most of them promised to read and follow my page. I hardly believed because the pals I knew did not even bother to see my work , this made me wonder if these new acquaintances would stick to the word given.

Surprisingly , when I logged into FB this evening , they did read my work , messaged me their views .I was so impressed by those folks who stuck to their own word. Eventually the mark that every FB page owner looks for , as soon as they start an official page of their own is achieved. Yes , the first mark "100 Likes" is reached.

This article is dedicated to them who kept me encouraging . I wish to write more often with your support and Almighty's blessing.

Thanks once again for all the love and care.

Until the next article is out , Good Night and God Bless !!

FATHER

Every person who crosses our path will leave an impression either positive or negative on our skin. Similarly,we do have our own perceptions towards them and leave an impressions on them .One person in our life who always lives behind the screen of the film  he crafted (me/you/us) - concealing his emotions , hiding himself in the shade to throw light on our future , silently baring the pain without expecting an acknowledgement from us. He is not God but he is no less to God , yes the person is FATHER.

 This is an attempt to reveal the emotions of  every Father .,  appreciating the hardships he goes through , not allowing us to even understand his mental stability and thought process in our upbringing .

I wasn't settled yet
Your news bewildered
Hesitant for responsibility
Accepted it , after long introspection

As the date approached
Numerous thoughts whirled my mind
Lonely  prayers I did
Concealing my emotions

The day you born , made me FATHER
The day you called , made me COMPLETE

Before I seal you in my memories
You grew into adult
Started building your career

I melted like candle , to earn a penny for you
I lived in dark ,to let you see the light

You hated me for being strict
You scolded me for being miser

You  noticed the bills I paid ?
You  realized the shield around you?

You didn't know,I ripped myself for you

I'm a person with emotions
I'm a person who just cant display them

I know you are so dear to yourself

I don't complain for your behavior
I stay patient for the day to come

I know you will be ME ,  a "FATHER" !!
