Just Beautiful...

I wish had written these myself, but truth be told I haven’t. I found them hidden in my mailbox and may be you have even read some of these before, but I just loved them so much that I thought they deserve a better place to be hosted. (These forwards also came with a moral....which i have removed. I'm sure you'll figure that out...)



Give Your Best To Relationships: -

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her.

The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.

That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn’t sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

Anger and Love Has No Limits

While Dad was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car.

In his anger, Dad took the child’s hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, his child has already lost his all fingers & child asked “Dad when will my fingers grow back?” Dad was so hurt.

He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times. Sitting back he looked at the scratches, child wrote “I LOVE YOU DAD”.

I Cried Over You

I saw your face today, In the face of a stranger
But when I looked again, You were not there anymore
I heard your voice today, In the middle of a crowd
I turned arround to listen, But did not hear a sound
I felt your touch today, In the blowing wind
I clung to that moment, Held it to its end
I cried over you today, Drowned in my own sorrow
Then I came to realize, There is always a tomorrow

Treasure Your Love

Don’t throw your back to love when it’s already in front of you.
Don’t drive it away from you because if you do,
Someday you’ll think again,
Why you let love fly away when it was once residing next to you?
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength and loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Finally Goa

After being away for more than a year, I was finally back on Annual leave. I had missed a lot over the last year……events which I had promised myself I would never miss….but circumstances and situations are such that we don’t always have a say on what we do.

As I walked out of that small cringy place they call an airport (I’m talking about the so called Pune International Airport) I had my first glimpse of my friends. My dotsy and son’n’law was standing there…(...long story behind these acronyms) It was then that I truly felt I was back where I belonged. Over the next few hours I met my other friends and that very night we left for Goa.

Ever since my dotsy and I were in college we had always planned this trip, but due to time and money (since our pocket money never seemed enough to support Goa) our plans never materialized…till now that is.

All 7 of us were now working and we all had our busy and hectic schedules to keep but we all managed to take this time off. We were all excited, about going to Goa and above all about being together after such a long time.

Its been more than 2 weeks now since we have come back from Goa, but some how we are still not totally out of that mood. Goa was much more than just a holiday or a long yearned trip. That week made me and some others realize what we truly have together…

A year back we were a bunch of friends waiting to grow up. I used to feel that we will all grow up one day and we will all have our own lives to live and we would all walk a different road. Today I see we have all grown up and we are still together. We do have our own lives but we have managed to stay on the same road. We have matured in our own ways and with this maturity we have come closer together.

Today although we have all grown up and have settled into our own lives, most of us are still bachelors and once we get married things are bound to change again. Maybe we would be less connected then and maybe we will walk a different road then….i don’t know….no one does.

‘Finally Goa’ is not about Goa or about the good times we had in Pune. It is my way of expressing that in some way it was only the beginning. Life will change and we will all be located in different parts of this world…UK, New Zealand, Israel…..and the list will go on. 'Finally Goa' is a place that will remind us that we always have a place to come back too…and that place isn’t Goa….it’s any place where we can all be together.
