LIFES BEATINGS

I lay awake at night searching for peace of mind, soul and heart. Trying to gather emotions to understand what went wrong. Trying to figure out how I came to this point in life. Trying to grasp at memories in the air of things I know that I will not ever have again. Trying to live life like an open book but yet always wanting to turn to the last page when the page I'm on ..I don't like.
Wondering where to go from here. Whether to start over in a place in which I am unfamiliar with or to stay where I am at. I fight with the things I have done wrong. I search for penance for the mistakes I have made... hoping someday I will come to understand that it was all a lesson in life and one I had to learn the hard way.
But as I now reach the final stage I question if the things I did were what I was meant to do. As I now pass from one realm to the next, I hope my passing will be quick and painless unlike my life ..slow and painful.
I stand at a fork in the road and to pray to choose the right path in which I shall carry this scared corpse of mine . Hoping to find peace and fearing for the pain of making my final decision. Searching for heaven and the pearly gates and running from the fires of hell. I only ask one thing in my passing.. please forgive me cruel world for I know not what I do!

Life Still Has A Meaning

If there is a future there is time for mending-

Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.

Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow-

If you're looking forward to a new tomorrow.

If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping-

When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.

Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling-

If there is time for praying there is time for healing.

So if through your window there is a new day breaking-

Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching,

If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning-

There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning.

Karachi’s W-11 Minibus Decoration for Australian Tram
via www.melbourne2006.com.au

A team of W-11 vehicle decorators from Karachi will undertake a residency in Melbourne to transform a tram that will run a free service on the Melbourne City Circle tram route during Games time. A fleet of particularly vibrant mini-buses ply the Karachi route called W-11, characterised by stainless-steel panels, brightly coloured plastic collages, flashing light patterns, music beats and exuberant conductors. Karachi had a horse-drawn tram system till the 1930s, then a petrol-fuelled system until the 1970s. Could there be a W-11 tram, a vehicle travelling from Karachi to Melbourne? How would these Karachi vehicle decorators invoke the spirit of this transport? Vehicles of transport have long been celebrated in the Indus valley, adorned with elaborate decoration to keep good spirits with the journey.

Why Women Cry ???


A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?" God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Today I will delete from my diary
two days: yesterday and tomorrow
Yesterday was to learn
and tomorrow will be the consequence
of what I can do today.

Today I will face life

with the conviction that this day

will not ever return.

Today is the last opportunity

I have to live intensely,

as no one can assure me that

I will see tomorrow's sunrise.

Today I will be brave enough

not to let any opportunity pass me by,

my only alternative is to succeed.

Today I will invest
my most valuable resource:my time,
in the most trascendental work:my life;

I will spend each minute

passionately to make

of today a different

and unique day in my life.

Today I will defy every obstacule

that appears on my way trusting
I will succeed.

Today I will resist
pesimism and will conquer

the world with a smile,

with the positive attitude
of expecting always the best.

Today I will make of every ordinary task

a sublime _expression,

Today I will have my feet on the ground
understanding reality
and the stars' gaze
to invent my future.

Today I will take the time to be happy

and will leave my footprints and my

presence in the hearts of others.

Today, I invite you to begin a new season
where we can dream
that everything we undertake is possible
and we fulfil it,
with joy and dignity.

~ TRUST ~

I was reading today a short, cute story related to trust, that really inspired me. Hope you guys too like it.

A little girl and her father were crossing a filmsy bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you dont fall into the river."

The little girl said, "No, Dad, You hold my hand."
"What's the difference?", asked the puzzeled father.

"There is a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens; you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, age, caste, or creed but in its bond. So friends hold the hands of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold urs........

WHAT IS A FRIEND????

Faithful

A friend is always faithful to you, even during the bad times.

Reliable
A friend is reliable..you can count on them to always be there.

In touch
A friend stays in touch, even though it may not be as often as you'd like!

Enduring
A true friendship is enduring, lasting even when friends lose touch for a while.

Needed
A friend is always there for you when you need someone to hug.

Devoted
A friend is devoted to your friendship and will never do anything to destroy it.

It's About LIFE...

Life is about experiences, which makes us grow;

According to time and situations, it flows.
Sometimes everything seems clear and perfect,

Sometimes, it’s all haze;

Maybe, life is a maze,

Every time, it leaves us amazed.

Not everyone in life, gets everything.

Sometimes,You lose even by gaining, and gain, even by losing.

Why cry for losing something, which we never owned.

Life doesn't stop by accidents;

Else, the world would have ended.

Anyone can sympathize with our hurts,

But, its only we that bleed when it hurts.

Why should our life depend on someone, for happiness;

It’s we, who create our own happiness...

Even in our whole life, for someone, you change your ways;

At the end of the day, with you, only your shadow stays.

The world may seem beautiful, and people may get influenced by charm;

But, in times of need, it’s our own hand, at the end of our arm.

Love and relations, are like sand,

Which we try to hold in our hand;

The more we want them to stay, the more they slip away

Let no one and nothing control you,

Come what may;

Let you, only your faith in God sway.

Things that are just a part of Life,

Must be kept that way.

If we make them Life, by mistake;

Heart is bound to break.

Today may seem faint and dull,

Compared to the beautiful past;

But, tomorrow will bring beautiful moments to last.

Why look for a shoulder to cry on,

And support from someone;

One moment people are around, next moment gone;

Fact is,

He’s the strongest man in life, who stands on his own...all alone.

Whenever in life, things seem to slip out of your hands;

Give it in God’s hands,

Since, everything is safe in his hands.

After every sunset of hurts and despair,

There's a new sunrise of hopes and prayer.

It takes both rain and sunshine to make rainbows,

And like a spring, life always flows;

Even after a bright day ends,

Still in the dark night sky, stars and moon glows....

3 C's

The 3 C's of life.... are Courage, Capacity and Commitment.

It takes Courage and a commitment to make many of life's decisions, and capacity to follow them through.

The 3 C's of a successful relationship.... are Caring, Consideration and Communication. Communication opens the door between us, consideration allows us to pass through it and our ability to care for each other unites us.

Do u have any 3C's to share...???

I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't. I've learned- that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I've learned that your family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that

I'[ve learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I've learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I've learned that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

UN NEEDED WAR......!

So many dead so many more hurt

Bodies of children lie in the dirt

Hospitals full of crying and fear

Listening to more bombs falling near

Blood on the hands of all in this war

Tears in the heavens, "what's it all for?”

All for one man, a murderous one

For him alone this carnage begun

Had to be another way to stop atan's whore

Instead of the thousands to die in a war

The devil was caught, but the sadness remains

Was the death of so many, worth the gain?

The scars of this terror will never fade

And it’s the living that ultimate will pay

Husbands, wives, children all gone

In a horror most of the world thought wrong

Formula 4 SUCCESS...

A small truth to make our Life's 100% successful...

If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is equal to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then,

H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

L+O+V+E=12+15+22+5=54% L+U+C+K = 12+21+3+11 = 47%

(None of them makes 100%)...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Then what makes 100% ?

Is it Money? ......No!!!!!

Leadership? ......NO!!!!

Every problem has a solution,

only if we perhaps change our "ATTITUDE"

It is OUR ATTITUDE towards Life and Work that makes...

OUR Life 100% Successful...

A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

To achieve this 100% attitude, you must !!!

be disciplined in life……

yes that reminds me...

Even D+I+S+C+I+P+L+I+N+E = 100%

Don't you think so?

Why Worry?

There are only two things in life to worry about:

Whether you are well or whether you are sick.
If you are well,

then there is nothing to worry about.
But if you are sick,

there are only two things to worry about:
Whether you are going to get well

or whether you are going to die.

If you get well,

then there is nothing to worry about.
But if you die,

there are only two things to worry about:
Whether you are going to go to heaven or whether you are going to go to hell.
If you go to heaven,

then you have nothing to worry about.
But if you go to hell,

you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends,

that you won't have time to worry!
So, Why Worry?

Be Happy:)
Do not cry if the Sun sets at the end of the day, because the tears will not let you enjoy the beauty of the Stars.

Planting

If you plant honesty, You will reap trust If you plant goodness, You will reap friends If you plant humility, You will reap greatness If you plant perseverance, You will reap victory If you plant consideration, You will reap harmony If you plant hard work, You will reap success If you plant forgiveness, You will reap reconciliation If you plant openness, You will reap intimacy If you plant patience, You will reap improvements If you plant faith, You will reap miracles
But If you plant dishonesty, You will reap distrust. If you plant selfishness, you will reap loneliness if you plant pride, you will reap destruction if you plant envy, you will reap trouble if you plant laziness, You will reap stagnation. If you plant bitterness, You will reap isolation If you plant greed, You will reap loss If you plant gossip, You will reap enemies If you plant worries, You will reap wrinkles If you plant sin, You will reap guilt ,.
So be careful what you plant now, It will determine what you will reap tomorrow, The seeds you now scatter, Will make life worse or better, for your life or the ones who will come after. Yes, someday, you will enjoy the fruits, Or you will pay for the choices you plant today.

A Smile Is Contagious
A smile costs nothing, but gives much. :)

It enriches those who give it.

It takes but a moment,

but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty

that he can get along without it,

and none is so poor

that he cannot be made richer by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home,

promotes good will in business,

and is the cornerstone of friendship.:)

It can perk up the weary,

bring cheer to the discouraged,

sunshine to the sad,

and is nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought,

begged, borrowed or stolen,

for it is something that is of no value to anyone

until it is given away. :)

When people are too tired to give you a smile,

give them one of yours.

No one needs a smile so much

as he who has none to give

Miss u baba in each n every moment of my life, luv u most....

Lone Refuge

Endless HorizonA barren desert

The winds swirl the sand

Into a new desert

Lost are the tracks of life

As if it were untouched

The night brings the moon

Constellations soon follow

Cold and quiet, desolate yet serene

Minds find a voice

Listen to yourself,

for too many others have

SpokenI would like to learn the language of the mind

I would like to be lost in the depths of my sanity

I would like to be alone, with myself

I would like to burrow under sleeping bags and

Listen to the silence

I wouldn't mind

Imprison'd

Just 3 Words

The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship.

1. Let me help

Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt theydo what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out.

2. I understand you.

People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many little ways - that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. And this can apply to any relationship.

3. I respect you

Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that anotherperson is a true equal. If you talk to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends. Thisapplies to all interpersonal relationships.

4. I miss you.

Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other "I miss you." This powerful affirmationtells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider howimportant you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you."

5. Maybe you're right.

This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument. The implication when you say "maybe you're right" is the humility of admitting, "maybe I'mwrong". Let's face it. When you have an argument with someone, all younormally do is solidify the other person's point of view. They, or you, will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriouslydamaging the relationship between you. Saying "maybe you're right" canopen the door to explore the subject more. You may then have the opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to theother person.

6. Please forgive me

Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people wouldadmit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up thathe has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he iswiser today than he was yesterday.

7. I thank you.

Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy thecompanionship of good, close friends are those who don't take dailycourtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.

8. Count on me

A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essentialingredient for true friendship. It is the emotional glue that bondspeople. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady andtrue friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "youcan count on me."

9. I'll be there

If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take asick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I'll be there."Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionallyand spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.

10. Go for it

We are all unique individuals. Don't try to get your friends to conform toyour ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far out they seem to you. God has given everyone dreams, dreams that areunique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to followtheir dreams. Tell them to "go for it."

B o n u s : 11. I love you

Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emotional needs. The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse, your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little words: "I love you." Love is a choice. You can love even when the feeling is gone.

LIFE!

According to Shakespeare this world is a stage & we all are artists performing our roles here. With a bit difference I think 'LIFE' ia an 'EXAM' that we all are giving and this world is an Exammination hall. Prophets send by Allah are our teachers provided with holy books to teach us & guide us. Everything in life whether its wealth, health, happiness, any realtion, each & everything is given or taken away from us is our exam. Like if we r been given any resource by Allah then its our exam in a way that how we utilize it, how we use it to help others. Yes Shatan is always there to misguide but thats our main exam to defeat him and make him fail in every of his attempt. Whatever we do here in this world we'll be rewarded and punished for this on the Day of Judgement and sometimes results are been also given here in this world as well.

Well thats my philosophy and what i think of life.

May Allah bless all !!

AMAZING...!!!

THINGS TO KEEP

• Keep your THOUGHTS positive, because your thoughts become your WORDS.
• Keep your WORDS positive, because your words become your ACTIONS.
• Keep your ACTIONS positive, because your actions become your HABITS
• Keep your HABITS positive, because your habits become your LIFESTYLE.
• Keep your LIFESTYLE positive, because your lifestyle becomes your DESTINY.

Sacrifice Is Always of the Self

Sacrifice is always of the self

As one decides to serve the greater good,

Crossing in one's heart an inner gulf,

Replacing what one wants with what one would.

It is an act of faith sustained by love,

For faith or love alone is not enough.

In choosing, one creates what one would prove,

Chastened by the will that all things moves

Even as one wanders in the rough.

I hope it works...

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby ! bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly. "I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did. Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin. The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

I hope it works...

Don't Look Back

As you travel through life there are always those times

When decisions just have to be made,

When the choices are hard,

and solutions seem scarce,

And the rain seems to soak your parade.

There are some situations where all you can do

Is simply let go and move on,

Gather your courage and choose a direction

That carries you toward a new dawn.

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward -

The process of change can be tough,

But think about all the excitement ahead

If you can be stalwart enough!

There might be adventures you never imagined

Just waiting around the next bend,

And wishes and dreams just about to come true

In ways you can't yet comprehend!

Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new things

As you challenge your status quo,

And learn there are so many options in life,

And so many ways you can grow!

Perhaps you'll go places you never expected

And see things that you've never seen,

Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds

And wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring

And somebody special who's there

To help you stay centered and listen with interest

To stories and feelings you share.

Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends

Are supportive of all that you do,

And believe that whatever decisions you make,

They'll be the right choices for you.

So keep putting one foot in front of the other,

And taking your life day by day...

There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road -

Don't look back!

You're not going that way!

US mine tragedy in West Virginia

Families of 11 US miners found dead have expressed anger and disbelief at communications failings which led them to believe their loved ones were alive.
Relatives were celebrating a "miracle" before they were told only one of the 12 West Virginia miners had survived. A 13th miner was found dead earlier.
"There was no apology. There was no nothing," said Nick Helms, son of dead miner Terry Helms.
The survivor, Randal McCloy Junior, 27, is still critically ill in hospital.




Only one of 12 miners trapped underground in West Virginia was found alive, hours after it had been reported the 12 had survived. A 13th miner had been found dead earlier.


Earlier, relatives had celebrated news of the "miracle" that 12 miners had been found alive.


The 13 coal miners were trapped 70 metres underground after the mine explosion . They are thought to have been poisoned by toxic fumes.


Rescuers knew they were battling against the clock before the men ran out of air, food and water.

Mining officials tried to explain what happened at a news conference, but there were tough questions over how the miscommunication occurred. Ambulances rushed from the scene, but it transpired only one miner was still alive, Randal McCloy Junior. A vigil was held hours after news of the deaths was finally confirmed.

OH CUTEEES!!!

JAZBAY!!!

Kiyuon lafz zaroori hain akhir,

bayan kai liyaee?

jazbay tu ehsaas hotay hain,

khud aik awaaz hotay hain

kabhi ankhon kai rastay sai,

tu kabhi khayal sai

bina soochay, bina chahay,

yeh pohunch hi jatay hain

yeh kab ropoosh rehtay hain,

kab khamoosh rehtay hain

yeh tu na dastaras mein hain apni,

naa hi ikhtiyaar main

jazbay tu khudmukhtar hotay hain,

bai-ikhtiyar hotay hain

jo rokay nahi ruktay,

chupayaee nahi chuptay

haan jazbay khud aap apni hi aik awaz hotay hain....!

Little Lamps

My friends are little lamps to me,

Their radiance warms and cheers my ways.

And all my pathway dark and lone

Is brightened by their rays.
I try to keep them bright by faith,

And never let them dim with doubt,

For every time I lose a friend

A little lamp goes out.
You're such a great friend to me,

I hope you will always know,

I thank you for standing beside meand

Lighting my way as I go.

A Prerequisite for Belief

Are you worried because you find it so hard to believe? Don't be surprised at the difficulty of faith, if there is some part of your life where you are consciously resisting or disobeying the commandment of God. Is there some part of your life which you are refusing to surrender at His behest, some sinful passion, maybe, or some animosity, some hope, perhaps your ambition or your reason? If so, you must not be surprised that you have not received the Holy Spirit, that prayer is difficult, or that your request for faith remains unanswered … The person who disobeys cannot believe. Only if you obey can you believe.

A TRIBUTE

( 1961 - 1997 )

Lady Diana Frances Spencer was born on July 1,1961 to the Eighth Earl Spencer. Her softspoken and caring nature allowed her to feel most comfortable working with small children. However, fate had another destiny in store for her. On July 29,1981 Lady Diana went from being a shy twenty year old girl to being the future Queen of England when she married Prince Charles, heir to the British throne.She could no longer be simply a mentor for young children, but would now also have to become a role model for an entire nation.

The world watched in awe as the fairy-tale marriage began it's journey. Soon, everyone would rejoice as Prince William Arthur Phillip Louis Windsor, a new heir to the throne, was born on June 21,1982. A short two years later, another Prince, Harry Charles Albert David Windsor, made his appearance into the world. Britain now had an heir and a spare to carry out the royal blood line.

The fairy-tale would soon turn into a nightmare, however, as the royal marriage between Prince Charles and Princess Diana began to crumble. On August 28,1996 the final decree of their divorce was issued after fifteen years of marriage. The People's Princess was no longer royalty and Diana found herself battling constant bouts of depression. But her hardships were never strong enough to ovepower her love for her children as she continued to play an important role in their upbringing.

After years of anxiety, Diana slowly seemed to be turning a new leaf. She began dating Dodi Al Fayed and appeared to be the happiest she had been in a long time. However, her life was cut tragically short when Diana was killed in an automobile accident in Paris. The world, stunned from this unexpected loss, mourned as it never had before. Millions of flowers and sympathy notes were placed in front of Buckingham Palace in rememberance of her. A funeral was held for Lady Diana Spencer on September 6,1997 as her family, friends and the world alike said goodbye to the People's Princess.

Although Diana lost her royal tittle, in the minds and hearts of those who loved her, she will always be the Princess of Wales. She has left behind two young sons who carry with them all her hopes and dreams for a brighter future. But more importantly, she has left behind her legacy; that determination and compassion are primary weapons in the struggle to create a better world. Though she will be missed, she will never be forgotten and so Lady Diana Spencer will live in our hearts and minds forever.

DREAMS!

Dreams!

beauty of life,

a star that shines,

in the dark of night.

A light that guides,

the way to strive.

A hope that brings,

a purpose to life.

Its a bunch of flowers,

that makes you smile.

But yes besides,

can bring tears to eyes.

Can make u feel depress,

when u open ur eyes.

But still,

we never stop dreaming,

as dreams are life.....!

(My first english poetry that i wrote years back)

Three things of life that once gone, never come back:

Time, Words & Opportunity
Three things of life that are most valuable:
Love, Self-confidence & Friends

Three things of life that are never sure:
Dreams, Success & Fortune

"Success without honor is an unseasoned dish;
it will satisfy your hunger, but it won’t taste good."

Keep Smiling :)

A Wonderful Resolution for the New Year!

What amazing gifts the new year sunshine brings!

An entire year's worth of wonderful opportunities,

given to us one sunrise at a time.

Many of the moments ahead will

be marvelously disguised as ordinary days,

but each one of us has the chance

to make something extraordinary out of them.

Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life.

The secret of success is in

turning taht diary into the best story you possibly can.

Have pages on understanding

and tales of overcoming hardships.

Fills your story with

enthusiasm, adventure, learning , & laughter.

And make each chapter reflect time doing these things:

Follow your dreams. Work hard. Be kind.

Do what u can to make the door open

on a day that is filled with inspiration

in some special way.

Remember:

Goodness will be rewarded. Smiles will pay u back.

Have fun.

Find strength. BE truthful. Have faith.

Do'nt focus on anything u lack.

Realize that people are the treasures in life, and

happiness is the real wealth.

Have a diary that describes how u r doing ur best,

and.....

the rest will take care of itself.
