WENT TO A PARTY, MOM

Though this is not mine I wud Like to publish into my blog..Got a mail forward... its worth reading ... very nice one..

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom
So I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mom
Something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high,
! Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
Tell daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven,
Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mom,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mom!"
So I love you and good-bye.

Tough was swimming.. so is flying..

In the very beginning when man invented the art of swimming, it should be a case of a dream about being able to float on water. To think that a body of about 200 pounds to be able to float, would be an invitation to be a sheer subject of mockery and and certification for ridiculousness. But as proven, dreams do have a potential to make miracles happen. Its purely the inteligence of man to have attained the skill of swimming. As in case of other animals its not god given to man. But still earning due credit, man has learnt it, attained it.
To see that the law of displacement of water can be postulated to hold good for air as well. The volume of water displaced by a body if equals the mass can help it remain afloat. This principle which is used in ships can be the same used to fly. Man increases its movements by say four times to help itself float. May be that same activity if increased many fold can result him float in air too.. So it may be just a matter of power and agility that has limited man to fly. Here the the stories in our ancient puranas come to relevance. Makes me think some times is such a feat so near and achievable??

Surviving against the wishes of GOD !!

Many a times we see the news of a disaster occurring in our near vicinity causing chaos and huge destruction and also taking toll of many a lives
these news often bring with them some very astonishing news of some individuals making a miraculous escapes and surviving through the disaster
their experiences reveal more often the opinion that such escapes or survivals are a lucky occurrence of very low probability.
God which is almighty and the most powerful, thinking of the natural balance of the entire universe brings about such calamities. These in turn bring about the required balance in his view but devastates many a times our lives.
When these happen humans helplessly accept the verdict of god as to the devastation. Also, surprisingly, god is thanked also at the same time by the few individuals and their near ones who have escaped the fury and destruction.
when thinking about both the sentences simultaneously, one gets to a conclusion that God has to be terribly skillful to destroy all humans , animals the life around but saving at the same time , a 5 month old baby or a 4 yr old child or similar individuals or God has to be less than 100% efficient with people escaping the calamity highlighting the error of God instead of the Skill of God.
People here instantaneously vote in favor of the first statement emphasizing on the wondrous skill of God in executing actions. I disagree with this..
I strongly feel that the latter statement has more weight age to be logically true.
Due to the magnitude of the Jobs to be taken up by God it also implies his inefficiency in taking up minute jobs with same level of efficiency.
Lets take for example what would happen if one orders an elephant to collect small dry sticks of wood from forest and pile without breaking instead of the bigger logs which it is capable of and designed for? Any one will say that was the most absurd idea that elephant cannot do it with same efficiency as it does it with big logs of wood.
Similar is the case with God. While performing the huge tasks as to bring around the ecological balance by making calamities happen and similar things done, God would not have the efficiency to save a life or two out of that.
Say for example if we are to transfer a handful of grains from a sack to a vessel, while we pick up the grains some grains spill and get out of our grip while most grains are transferred to the vessel. In other words we had decided the fate of all that grains to be transferred to vessel.. In spite of which some grains have found their own way against the fate. If the number of grains are less we don’t bother to collect again which leaves them free and to be gathered by a broom later on.
Similarly, when there’s a calamity, a handful of lives do manage to escape out of it though as if against the wishes of God.
So when even if one escapes the calamities its his shear luck that he has survived against the Gods wishes and he better beware than thank god himself for the incident.

company.. another basic need of human..

One thing man fears most.. is not dark, not uncertainty, not survival ... but loneliness. Is it not what every body tries whole his life? .. to get a good companion, to be a good companion, to retain a good companion.
As I recollect the incidences of life that bring in happiness, I find myself with my friends or my relatives, my colleagues. Instances occasions are many but one thing is common.. the sense of togetherness. Be it calm moment with dad or a group of friends absorbing the ecstasy of the moment being together.. its the togetherness we enjoy.

Though there are people who actually feel better off being aloof.. but I seriously doubt their inclination to that. Even the thinkers and scientists preferring lone study rooms or labs would get suffocated if there’s no one to share the joy of success.. or triumph of the efforts taken.

It is this need that man can seldom compromise. Man enjoys the most he himself has created .. one thing which brings it closer to god in perfection.. the friendship. This one thing created by man has at least in this aspect brought man in levels with GOD. Its only in this that man wants his whole life to get immersed.
