Human Desires

Human desires are like the world of the dead - there is always room for more.

Man & Woman

Gen. 2:18, 21-24

The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him'...and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.

Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man.' For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Marriage

Genesis 2:24
For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

The other day i attended a marriage ceremony after a really long time. And after being a part of the ceremony and celebrations i realized what i had missed on for so long. The priest who preached the sermon narrated true life incidents in such humour that the entire crowd in the church just burst into laughter at times. He did stress on the importance of God & Prayer in a successful married life.

One of the humorous jokes which i had heard before but nonetheless brought a smile went something like this:

A married couple had an argument some days back and they hadn't been talking to each other since then. However, they were giving each other written notes. One evening the husband gave his wife a paper where it said: "Wake me up tomorrow morning at 7 am.” The next morning the husband woke up and saw that it was 9 am. He got very angry, but as he turned around he found a note on his pillow saying: "Wake up honey, it's 7 o'clock!"

Also after going to the hall the compere out there also had some advice for the husband. He said if you want to have a successful married life, honestly accept when you are in the wrong to your wife. And when you are right............. just stay quiet.

It's really wonderful being part of such a wonderful ceremony...The vows which the husband & wife take in the church wherein the groom says: I (...), take you (...) to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life. And the bride responds by saying: I (...), take you (...) to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life.

Marriage is really one of the most wonderful events in a person's life. Someone has rightly gone on to say that "Remember that a successful marriage depends on two things: Finding the right person and being the right person". Love between couples is definitely important; however i feel a happy married life surely calls for a lot of commitment and concern for each other.

So what do you guys feel?

Thoughts..

The bus is empty,
My thoughts are not,
You are the beauty,
To whom stranger am not.

Thinking of you ain't a duty,
Which i don't regret a bit,
Coz memories of you are not just sweet,
They are the best of the lot.

Living the Mobile way...

The other day i happened to be at a bus stop near Santacruz signal in the evening. There was a couple and their child who were sitting on the road behind the bus stop. The woman was cooking food in the open by lighting wood and papers. I cannot even call them slum dwellers as there was basically nothing around them for cover. That's when i seen the husband speaking on the cell phone and then passing on to his wife. It looked really strange and people at the bus stop definitely gave them a glance or two. Sensex crossing the 18k mark and all doesn't make much sense to me. Don’t know if i can even say India Shining or whatever makes a difference to this road side family. Really can’t understand how these guys afford a cell phone when their lives itself is MOBILE living on different streets of Mumbai every day…

What's in a SMILE?.....

It's really a pleasure watching you smile,

Though my PJ's are really sad most of the time,

It really feels as if the day has not been worthwhile,

When you are at a distance away from me a mile...

Ur smile could really brighten up anyone's day,

And this is not something i am pretending to say,

So remember a smile from u is wat some people eagerly wait for,

Hence getting to be around you, i consider myself lucky all the more...

So please keep smiling is all i can say....

Smile and the World Smiles with U

I have recently started knowing a girl, who manages to smile all the time,
And i really feel she should consider herself lucky that this is not a crime,
Coz if that were the case then she would spend her entire life behind bars,
As i really feel it is too much to expect her to breakdown into tears.

She told me if i wrote something about her, it has to be definitely good,
And that is something which i could not have misunderstood,
So i guess she has a clue that it's her smile which i would talk about,
As this is definitely something which i tell her day in and day out.

See girl i have hardly known you for a few days,
And whatever i have said is in terms of your praise,
So let your smile be a kind of a blaze,
That shines brightly and intensively in every passing phase. :-)

Green Zone :-)

This is a story of Mr. A and Miss. B,

And this has really got nothing to do with me,

So enjoy your time reading this crap,

Before Miss. B comes n gives me a slap.

Dressed in colors so bright green,

A n B are out here to be seen,

Colors that catch the attention of one and all,

They have really come here to have a ball.

Don't know if we’re going to see them dance,

But if they surprise us that's our best chance,

So be on your toes to have a glance,

Coz Miss. B is waiting to mesmerize Mr. A with her hypnotic trance.

Hey Miss.B & Mr. A, Hope you don't take my poems too seriously....

Freedom..

Colors saffron, white and green,
With a Ashoka Chakra in between,
Result of the sacrifices of countless great souls,
Representing the struggle in achieving India's greatest goals.

With Saffron symbolizing courage and sacrifice,
And White indicating truth, unity and peace,
Also Green standing for faith and fertility,
All in one flag indicating India's versatility.

Amazing Grace

This girl's really got amazing grace,

That's in addition to go along with her beautiful face,

Memories of such people are difficult to erase,

As it's hard to find someone else to replace.

Decorating herself is something she hates,

Gifted natural beauty is something already on her plate,

It's a nice feeling to have such a person as a friend,

Life without knowing them is hard to comprehend.

Bored...

Life is really getting so boring,

Though there's nothing worth deploring,

From my side i am hardly exploring,

So life's just moving on instead of soaring.

Work is actually so hectic that it consumes most of my time,

Not writing since long on my blog makes me feel like i have done a big crime,

Even when i am writing this i donno what's going on in my head,

Hence i just thought of writing two verses which will simply rhyme.

Mother Dearest

This poem on Mothers was forwarded to me in a mail. I think its really worth a glance n hence have put up the same on my blog.

An excellent poem on MOTHER, the greatest ever personality Almighty created for humanbeings and other living creatures:

I was a just-born and she was thirty-one,

Though we were we, we were one.

I would cry out in Latin and she would respond in Greek,

I would learn nothing but she never got tired to teach.

I was surrounded by monsters eager to pull my cheek,

But they would vanish the moment i was wet and weep.

She would come running and hold me in her arms,

As if i had won the contest of the charms.

Now I was able to walk and chew,

Hey, i was two.

I and she could now understand each other,

I was her everything and she needed no other.

I would try to walk and fall down,

But knowing she was with me, the fear of getting hurt was now gone.

We still could not converse that effectively,

But she would understand my needs so easily.

I could now roam about free,

Because now i have turned three.

I was ready to join a new world,

My academic life was now gonna mould.

She would dress me as best as a prince,

But when i would come back, she would need at least an hour to rinse.

I was now able to talk,

I was a ferry and she was my dock.

I still remember the child, whose shirt I had tore,

Hey buddy, i have turned four.

I now came home a little late,

Nevertheless finding her waiting at the gate.

She would hug me and carry me in her arms,

It felt like flying through the farms.

We now did the homework together,

I would spoil the home and she used to work.

Years passed and now i was fifteen,

And with each year i would forget to lean.

I wouldn't care for what she said,

Because now i had become mean.

She would ask me to study for a good future,

But i was busy in a different culture.

Now i had many shes in my life,

I dreamed of having one of them as my wife.

I changed a lot which she did not teach,

She would try to hug me but i was out of reach.

She still waited for me at the gate,

But i would look at her with utmost hate.

She would be awake till late in the night,

Because i wasn't home, i was in a fight.

She had so much to scold, but she never did say,

Hoping to find me better the next day.

Time went on and now i am grown,

Lost in the world of my own.

I and she, between us have a river,

I have left her for my career.

When i was young, for me, she sacrificed her ambitions,

But i don't care, i now have my own mission.

I am not with her now, i am in a different city,

She is so old now but i don't even pity.

She needs me now but i am nowhere to find,

In the race for appraisal, i have become blind.

In a few years from now, i will be two,

There will be in my life someone new.

Then i'll forget even to bother,

I am her son and she my Mother.

Janne hum kya payenge...

Socha na tha ki aise bhi koi din ayenge,

Socha na tha ki aise bhi koi din ayenge,

Ab aye ho itni door say tum, to chalo gaur farmayee.

Unko samjhate samjhate ham khud bhool jayenge,

Unko samjhate samjhate ham khud bhool jayenge,

Agar woh samhaj gaye toh shayad hum jannat payenge.

Project plan banathe banathe din kat jayenge,

Project plan banathe banathe din kat jayenge,

Patah nahi yeh plan implement karne ke liye waqt kaha se layenge.

Kehthe hai ki project accha ho toh pahnayenge tumhe har,

Kehthe hai ki project accha ho toh pahnayenge tumhe har,

Magar agar kuch galtiya hui ya pakdi gayi toh honge tum halal.

Waiting for....

Rah mein ruke the hum unke,

Rah mein ruke the hum unke,

Woh nahi ayi or nahi hue hum unke.

Ladkiya kehthi hai ki bhaag khul gaye unke,

Ladkiya kehthi hai ki bhaag khul gaye unke,

Nahi hue woh hamare aur na hum unke.

Nothings Gonna change....

Second weekend in a row it has rained so heavily,
And just as before all things came to a stand gradually,
The system in place here has hardly learnt any lessons,
And it’s the people who have to face the brunt of their inactions.

Before the monsoons arrived they went ahead and declared,
"We are completely geared for the rains" is what they proclaimed,
This statement is made every year much to the amusement of viewers,
As a huge per cent of the roads is dug up and waiting for completion.

It really doesn't seem like things are going to improve in any way,
As the corrupt officials have started taking the common man for granted in every way,
Not owning up for the mess is something everyone seems to be doing nowadays,
So Mumbai's days as a developed city, is being taken to the cleaners with every passing day.

How about some Maths in LIFE?

These are some quotes i received some time back in a forwarded mail. It sounded very interesting, and hence of thought of putting the same on the blog.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Life: Enjoy the Ride

I watched a movie called Along Came Polly starring Ben Stiller & Jennifer Aniston this weekend. It's a movie that released way back in 2004. Along Came Polly happens to be a very hilarious comedy. However even this comedy movie had a serious dialogue which delivered a message..

The line that i am talking about is this: "It's not about what happened in the past, or what you think might happen in the future. It's about the ride, for Christ's sake. There is no point in going through all this crap, if you are not going to enjoy the ride. And you know what... when you least expect something great might come along. Something better then you even planned for. "

These lines really means so much in terms of our daily life, don't they?

Is that YOU?

A Smiling Face,
That could brighten up anyone’s Day,

Those stunning Eyes,
Which speak more than Words,

That Glance of yours,

Which could make anyone DANCE to your tunes,

That typical sound in your Laughter,

Which keeps coming in the mind thereafter,

That’s enough I can say about YOU,
Coz this is just another person who’s crazy about your Natural Looks.

Written in the B.E.S.T Bus

Sitting in the crowded bus,
Here i am perspiring with fuss.
Traffic here only adding to the mess,
I am trying my best to overcome the stress.

Suddenly a girl dressed in yellow catches my eye,
With looks so simple, don't feel like saying goodbye,
After a while she gets up and makes a move,
That's when i start wondering what she's up to.

Realize a bit later that she just got up to purchase the ticket,
Coz she returned few seconds later just to find a comfortable seat.
Sooner than later she got up once again and my joy was short-lived,
As this time i guessed it right, because it's her stop that had arrived.

There is seriously nothing going on in my mind,
Just thought of writing a crap poem that would rhyme,
My stop is just about to arrive and i am making a move,
So till the next time you visit my blog, hopefully my poems would improve.

Testing of Your Faith

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

—James 1:2-4
