One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.'God', I said. 'Can you give me one good reason not to quit?'His answer surprised me...'Look around', He said. 'Do you see the fern and the bamboo?''Yes', I replied.When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.I gave them light. I gave them water.The fern quickly grew from the earth.Its brilliant green covered the floor.Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.But I did not quit on the bamboo.In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed.But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.'In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. ButI would not quit. In the fourth year, again, there was nothing fromThe bamboo seed. 'I would not quit.' He said. 'Then in the fifth yearA tiny sprout emerged from the earth.Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... ButJust 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.It had spent the five years growing roots.Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. IWould not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.'He said to me.
'Did you know, my child, that all this time you haveBeen struggling, you have actually been growing roots.''I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. ' Don'tCompare yourself to others ..' He said.
' The bamboo had a differentPurpose than the fern ... Yet, they both make the forest beautiful.' Your time will come, ' God said to me. ' You will rise high! ' HowHigh should I rise?' I asked.How high will the bamboo rise?' He asked in return.'As high as it can? ' I questioned.' Yes. ' He said, 'Give me glory by rising as high as you can. '
I left the forest and bring back this story.I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.He will never give up on you.Never regret a day in your life.Good days give you happinessBad days give you experiences;Both are essential to life.A happy and meaningful life requires our continuous input andCreativity. It does not happen by chance. It happens because of our Choices and actions. And each day we are given new opportunities to Choose and act and, in doing so, we create our own unique journey.'
Keep going...Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong,Sorrows keep you Human, Failures keep you humble,Success keeps You Glowing

I have Learnt...
Oh no.. its not that we can only have expereince after years of exposure to the world.. its always that one fall is necessary for you to rise yourself.. one betray is must to know the value of trust.. one faliure is must to know the value of success.. every body i mean it everybody commit mistakes.. but only few people learn from them.. and fewer have the courae to accept that they have done so...
it is very easy to lie to some one.. but it is very difficult to be true to everyone u meet.. this was a great experience for me.. i learned to trust people and then i learned that everone is not going to keep that.. everybody is not what they show.. looks can be deceptive.. i learned to make freinds.. and then i learned that they are not there to be forever.. infact you make frnz only in ur childhood.. then is the only time when u are connected through you heart not your mind..
i also learned to help every individual in trouble.. and i also learnt that you should not expect the same from them.. cause when its you whos in pain then they never have time and always have excuses..
then i learned to shine.. but i also learned that only after you reach the top.. u start coming down.. people only salute the rising sun.. no body will ever be happy with sunset.. its only a beauty for those who have gone thru it in there lives..
i learnt to burn my hands.. but i also learned that it is the only way to recognize danger.. nothing comes without a cost..
and here i am now.. learning to be myself again.. because i have learnt that people always encourage to leave your path.. but when its the time to get back.. you can not find your path and neither those supporter who have led you from it..
so i am being myself again.. ALL ON MY OWN.. i have learnt all this thourh good and bad experiences of my life in past 2 years...
but hey.. more is to come from me.. its only that the time is not allwoing me to write further.

Me...
Well.. this is my first post at my blog.. i thot i wud start by introducing myself.. i am one person who has been living on the mantra of positivity in my life.. i belive in fighting for existence.. i have a very loving family.. my dad & mom.. my masi & chacha, Shainky, Tanu and my pet Panther (Though dis is only an official name for him.. we keep calling him in different names altogether.. hehehehe)..
my family has made the base of my life.. the most important bond that i have learnt in life is that of love and trust.. no matter in whatever circumstances you are.. u can sail through them if there is one hand of support..one ray of hope.. and that comes from no where but people who actually care for you..
like every individual, i have also suffered losses but if i know how to overcome that and how to survive with that that is just becuase of the support that these guys have ever given me.. my family in my strenght and ironically my weakness too..
through this blog i will share many feelings, thoughts about various experiences that i have encountered in my life.. more to come.. chao
