Crazy 2009 Resolutions

Hello Friends,

Wish you all a happy New Year's Eve!! New Year's Eve has always been a time to look back to the past and fix few things right. It’s more importantly time to look forward the coming year. When I was asked to post on a ‘New Year's Resolutions’, I had lots of questions in my mind. Mainly, why are resolutions made on this day? Why not some other day? Is there any history for this?

When I have so many questions it is difficult for me to post. So with out wasting time, I Google-d for the info. Well, I got to read lots on the topic. You can know read it here.

Hey, New Year's Eve is a perfect day to echo the changes we want to bring in our lives. Sometimes our resolutions will bring changes in others lives too.

I donno how far people follow through those changes that they have vow to do.

I don’t make formal resolutions and follow them but will surely make changes accordingly. It’s heartrending not to follow something that we have vowed to pursue. Specially when we blog it and all our friends come to know what I am supposed to follow through, it’s difficult to BREAK THE RULE. A rule made by ourselves.

I was chased by one of our Crazy Bloggers to post on this topic. HE hEEE..

What I will do now is.. list the resolutions of our Crazy Bloggers and my friends!!

So that they can’t escape from what they have declared to follow.

Here it goes..

RockSta: It is for the first time that I gave some serious thought on new year resolutions. I really wanted to come with a list of resolutions that somehow reflect what I wanted to do (deep down under), something that was gnawing away sub-consciously. This is what I have managed to come up with:

When I go to sleep wrapped in a warm blanket, I will not forget that there are 78 million Indians without a home.

When I fill up my bike's petrol tank for Rs. 600, I will not forget that 26% of the Indian population earns less than Rs. 540.

When I look at my bulging tummy and decide not to eat the rest of my food, I will not forget that there are 200 million Indians living in hunger and that 47 per cent of Indian children are malnourished.

When I look at myself in the mirror, I will not forget who I am and who I could have been.

But, as always, there is that fear. When you have set yourself some goals too high and not able to meet them. Deeksh had a kind word on this. He advised me to go for what I really want. So here I am, revising my previous list of resolutions to just one:

Stay healthy, thereby reducing weight and enjoy life!

Wishing you all Happy New Year.

Strange!

L.P.M

An illusive Dream,
Transcendental state;
The pleasure of Pain,
Dopamined brain.

The calm breeze,
Tranquility;
Immortality,
And Death.

Pink Floyd,
Adam's steroid;
Devil's win,
Sin?

Human Might

The wind blowing at my face,
I want to see, yet I can't;

Beautiful flowers, colourful birds,
Beauty of the woods, lush green trees.
Yellow sun, clear blue sky,
Bardwisikhla marching in March.

Calmness of the breeze,
Sound of pouring rain;
An old house beside the tree,
Butterflies in the garden.

The wind blowing at my face,
And I don't want, yet see;

Concrete jungle, dark clouds,
Smog on the roads, dust in the trees;
Murder in the skies,
Open dustbin and flies.

Clear day, rainy night,
Hunger and food fight;
Jam-packed roads, beggars on the street,
Use and abuse of Human Might!

Lose and Still be a Winner..

We tend to measure God’s blessings on the basis of how many of our prayers have been answered.
We compare what we sought with what we got.
We do not often get what we prayed for and then we blame God for being unkind.
Subsequently,
We later discover that what ever happened was in fact for the ‘Good’.
The ‘bad’ event turns out to be "blessings" in disguise….

The sun of my life rises!!!

I looked up into the sky
And felt my love as unreachable like the sky, so high!

I looked at the greenery around me
And felt the cool breeze caressing my cheeks

I got drenched in the rain
And felt that erased my hopes which were vain

The warm rain drops falling down on my face
Took all my tears away to accelerate my life’s pace

Those warm rain drops were like thousand small kisses
Reminding me that eliminating the gloom, the sun of my life rises!!!

Greatest Mystery Of Creations..

By Deeksh

I struggled and searched to find some words new,

And yet I couldn’t capture.

I even find it difficult to write it down,

How do I portray, the love that you pour on me..

Love that no one can ever explain.

Love which is kind and made of sentiments..

Love made of sacrifice and pain..

Love which is unselfishness and endless.

Love that cannot be stolen or destroyed.

Love made of forgiveness and purity..

Love that means everything in the world to me..

Love which makes me feel so special.

Love that wipe my tears and worries..

Love that face my fears.

Love that always cross that extra mile, just to make me smile..

Love that is mystery so far.

Love that Mom shares with her kid..

(Specially dedicated to the Motherhood)

….at least once!!

By Deeksh

Next time you're in a training session, try this little experiment: Take a big yawn, cover your mouth out of courtesy. Watch out how many people yawn.

Before you finish reading this post, it's likely that you will yawn at least once. I am not intending to bore you, but just reading about yawning will make you yawn, just as seeing or hearing someone else yawn makes us yawn.

As we all know, everybody yawns — from unborn babies (Research shows that 11-week-old fetuses yawn) to the oldest great-grandparents. Animals do it, too.

But the simple truth is that even though humans have been yawning for possibly as long as they have existed, we have no clue as to why we do it.

Let’s look what a Yawn is:

Yawning is an involuntary action that causes us to open our mouths wide and breathe in deeply.

Did you know the interesting Yawning facts:

Ø The average yawn lasts about six seconds.

Ø Your heart rate can rise as much as 30 percent during a yawn.

Ø 55 percent of people will yawn within five minutes of seeing someone else yawn.

Ø Blind people yawn more after hearing an audio tape of people yawning.

Ø Reading about yawning will make you yawn.

More from our bloggers:

“I love yawning......it refreshes ..... kind of the refresh we do in our computers...”

- RockSta

“YOUR yawing is injurious to MY health…”

- Hari

“When the laziness rises up in your body and threatens to erupt , it evolves into a reaction ,"the yawn", and when its coupled up with outstreched hands and legs, the feeling is just pure heaven…”

- Niyad

“I find it relaxing when I yawn… rather than being just a precursor to sleep, sometimes yawning also cools my overheated brain, helping it to operate more efficiently and that keeps me awake….may be that's why I like yawning..”

- Shilz

“Early morning early morning when i wake up from my sleep.. thoughts of yours crosses my empty brain, and make me yawn like sheep.. and then I go again to sleep”

- Jeshal

“Yawning is the most powerful way to release my stress... it energizes the body and the soul...”

- Guruvardhan

COME...WALK WITH ME

Come along, take a walk with me
a walk down a trodden lane
this walk may give me the answers
this walk may break the chain

I dare not take this walk alone
I dare not, lest I get scared
I've never taken walks alone
I've never ever dared

I know I've been there before
coz it’s all coming back
I can see the pandemonium
like darkness through a crack

Help me with these first steps
The trip ahead is long
Talk me thru these first steps
or maybe... sing me a song

What do you see round the corner?
coz I think I see light
Just can’t wait to get there
It’s been a really long night

I'm feeling a lot better now
I'm glad I took this walk
Thanks for all your songs
and thanks for all the talk

You've been there through the dark
Now stay with me while it’s bright
Then I'd know your not leaving
coz then it'd never be night..

Now that we've reached this place
Please… don’t let go of me
Coz I've walked right into your heart
Right where I want to be..

Niyad

Is there a silver lining?

By Shilpa C Nangali

When I realized that love was an illusion
My heart got wrenched and the body was trembled

The cold hand holding the mobile started shivering
Awakening a pain within myself that is never easing

Eyes of my mind dart back and forth searching for dangers
Invoked by an over-active imagination of mind

The heart was stroked; words were caught within the throat,
In a battle between vain hopes and false promises

Knowing that the beloved never cares
An anxiety overtakes

In a mourning for my own life,
Betrayal of beloved keeps my heart wounded

Minutes pass, quietness returns,
With peace of mind being an oasis

Sadness settles upon the worn out soul,
Until sleep once again puts me away from haunting dreams

Hope never seizes
But is there a silver lining?
