Friendship.....an unpredictable fate

                       Once upon a time in a small village lived two friends, a horse and a pig. Unlike other animals, they talked with each other.(That doesn't mean in the slightest that they live in Narnia!) They were the original inhabitants of a village where people wore turbans on their heads and trading was their official business. The village was situated in a valley, surrounded by huge hills, beyond that what laid ahead was understood by no one. Well, the horse belonged to a middle-aged man who was bald, hefty and tall. He was very kind to the horse. The pig as usual lived in a dirty place full of mud and other rubbish. The horse did not mind its unhygienic habits and neither did the pig thought that it was bad to be friendly with cleanliness beauties. On a very sunny day, the horse came to be acquainted with a horrid news that he was going to be sold by his master to gain money, as he faced financial crisis.
"Oh don't worry" the pig said to the horse,"you are going nowhere."
The horse stamped his hooves in anger and bellowed,"I am going piggy! There is no chance for me to escape! My life is going to take a terrible turn!"
The pig tried to console the horse but it was of no use. The following day, the man wearing a big turban, who was the consumer, arrived with a big smile on his face.
"So Arsheesh! Ready to sell your horse?"
Arsheesh himself was quite sad about the idea. He loved his horse a lot! Remember I told you how kind he was with his horse? But he had his family too, who were dying in hunger.
"Yes Sir. My dear horse is resting in its stables.Meanwhile, I will get you a glass of water."
The man wearing a big turban with a big smile on his face was about to enter in the stable when the pig blocked his path.
"Hey you!" He exclaimed in an irritated way,"shoo!"
But to his surprise, many other pigs like piggy, started surrounding him and started pulling his dhoti with their mouths.
"Aargh!"
He tried to get rid of them and escape, but he slipped and landed in the most dreadful place. The piggy's place! You can imagine his condition! The big smile on his face disappeared and big tears formed in his eyes when he saw nearby visitors laughing at him.
At the same moment, Arsheesh arrived and his jaw dropped.
"Oh God!How on earth you landed here?"
The man rolled his eyes and managed to come out of the place. Without uttering a word, he stormed away, not even looking back. Coins were spilling out of his pockets.
"Your coins Sir!" Arsheesh shouted.
"Keep those with you! I don't care! And also your stupid horse!" He answered with his back on Arsheesh.
Arsheesh was on cloud 9.  He told his family the good news and the kids jumped in triumph. At the same moment, pig and the horse were also celebrating their victory.
"You are my best friend!" the horse exclaimed in happiness.
"We are best friends!"
Arsheesh entered in the stable after some time and carried the pig in his arms.
"Maya!" he called out to his wife,"why don't we eat the pig in this joyful mood!"
The horse looked at his master in surprise but couldn't help his dear friend, as he was already taken away by his master, before he could do something.

Why always the good has to suffer???

The conversation

Love: The day the world forgets me, it will be the end! No one
           will survive and are bound to face the disastrous 
            consequences!


Jealousy: (A smirk on its face) One-third of the humans have
                already lost faith in you. They are slowly joining my
                army. I say, the progress is quite satisfactory!

Love:       True feelings always win. Humans urge for peace,
                 not war!

Jealousy:   Oh please! Where is peace nowadays? Is your
                  memory so weak that you have already forgotten
                  your history?(mockingly)

Love:         I have not. But I can surely say that history is 
                  enlightening us to look towards a new era, the
                  era of peace,prosperity and love.

Jealousy:   Merely bat's droppings! Humans have become
                  disastrous and this credit goes to me! I have 
                   boosted a new energy in them which would 
                   make them the best and can wipe off anyone
                   who comes in their path.

Love:         That would lead to many wars and finally into
                   an abyss of darkness.

Jealousy:    Who cares? Drink the blood of a soul and earn
                    trillions! Here comes the prosperity, my mate.
                    (Looking with greedy eyes)

Love:          Prosperity is a sign of hard-work and not murder!
                    What's going to happen if people are not one step
                     ahead than others? Live in the essence of  
                     capabilities and not greed!

Jealousy:      Love is blind and also innocent due to foolishness!
                     (Shooting a threatening look) If you don't rise,
                      others will crush you and go!

Love:          (Smiling pleasantly) We can also rise with an
                    optimistic attitude. Coupled with sincerity and
                    determination, it would make people successful!

Jealousy:     Merely bat's-

Love:         There's no need for shedding blood. Let's make
                   world a better place to live in.





   

A Special Day!

Here comes the special day,
where stars shine in daylight,
Happiness flies in your way,
and party begins at twilight!

That's the time for celebrations,
as excitement bounces in the air,
Friends and family cheer congratulations!
Pick up the best to wear!

Heartbeat mixes with the music,
where you have to break a leg!
The gifts are nothing but classic,
its time to burst out of the egg!

Cakes are finger-licking,
the delicacies are to be served,
Laughter erupts all over,
Merriness is so much deserved!

Our role-models!

                                          The members of a family are just like various characters, who play different roles in an act and the hardest role played by a family member is that of a father. Fathers are nothing but our great role-models, who help us in shaping our personalities with good habits. They are the ones who build our homes brick by brick and always strive to protect their families from external threats and hurdles. Fathers possess a soft heart, just like the mothers do but they never like to exaggerate their feelings. Tears of pain and suffering gets dried away just behind the eyes and never flows down the face. They have a strong heart whose power never weakens and the song of a mind filled with wisdom never dies away. They love their families from the core of their hearts and never expect anything in return from them, except love and care. Fathers are always ready to support their wives and  refills the sense of courage in them during dark hours. They are blessed by God with strength,power,courage and also gentleness to take up the responsibility of being the head of the family.

I wish all the fathers a very happy fathers' day and may all of them lead a happy,contended and long life!!!

Art of Living

                      

                             When I lay down on my mat and close my eyes, the deepest desires which have been buried deep inside my heart comes alive. I see myself in a beautiful world, the unique world which is ruled by me. That is because I see only those creatures whom I want badly in my imagination. There is soft grass beneath my feet, so fresh and warm that it seems as if it has taken birth just now. The wind is flowing in the ambience, making the leaves dance with them in continuous rhythm. Small and beautiful butterflies are mingling with my feet, the feeling of their delicate wings on my skin is so amazing! I see cute white puppies running in the huge garden where I am standing, and then inclining at different angles on the soft grass      
to absorb its warmness. I start tickling their ears and in triumph they start licking my fingers. I giggled and then went forward to feast my eyes on beautiful flowers growing in a row. Their vibrant colours made me fall in love with them, the rays of sunlight just adds on more to their enchanting beauty. I look at the sky and see clouds moving in circles around the sun. The sky is blue, so blue that it feels as if the yellow ball of heat has got drowned in a huge ocean and the white clouds are the aquatic animals swimming around it. When I look towards the west, I see birds of different species flying in the deep blue sky and making voices of their kind which are so pleasant to hear.Far away in the south I see huge hills that are kissing the clouds and beyond that I see a huge valley, where trees are growing and animals like tigers are resting under its peaceful shade.

This is the place that I have created in my imagination, which helps me to ease off my stress and tensions. It is completely a stress buster and in that you can feel your every breath and can enjoy the sound of your every heartbeat. It is a completely different adventure!

Is there a place to find happiness?

                              We all intend to be happy in our lives. The difference can be sighted only when some people can stay happy in any circumstance while others have embarked on a journey like a 'treasure hunt' in search of happiness. The question is: Is there a place that exists on earth which is totally deprived of sorrows? According to my opinion, a place like that exists. That magical place cannot be pictured in a visual form, but can be definitely pictured in an illusionary form. That place is nothing but your soul. In order to spread happiness, you have to be happy from inside. Expensive gifts and luxurious areas can only provide you with materialistic happiness. The real happiness arises from your own soul, which can never get destroyed by any external situations. If you make yourself mentally and emotionally strong, you can stay happy all the time. That doesn't mean laughing or smiling like a lunatic! It implies that whichever hurdles rises in front of you, you can handle it with peace. Even if frustration occurs, it can be shunned away very quickly. That's because your soul is at peace and also happy! 

You can compare your happiness with either of these: a straight line or a wave. A straight line indicates that you are always at peace and  happy, without any fluttering. Whereas a wave is an upward and downward motion, indicating that your mood changes according to the situation. The choice is yours.

Stepping into new world......

   Dear Jessica,

                       I am so happy for you! You bagged 90% in your tenth boards and your hard work has made me proud. I am on cloud 9 to have a sister like you. Well, it is time to bade farewell to your school days and welcome the challenging days of college life! You have to make yourself mentally strong for stepping into a new world that lays ahead. All these years you were living in a shell, protected by parents and teachers, but now is the time where you would be facing the real world. You would have friends and also foes, whom you have to face with friendliness, yet smartly and wisely. There are going to be new opportunities, coupled with hurdles and circumstances which you might not have thought of. With an optimistic attitude, you can tackle them and also enjoy your life in a good company. Choose your friends with care because you become what they are. Strive hard to achieve greater heights in future and our blessings are always with you. Remove the nervousness from your heart and let the feeling of confidence seep in which would help you to start away with a new journey. This is just another milestone of your life and many more are yet to come. 

All the best for your future and do give my regards to mom and dad. Waiting eagerly for your reply.


Yours,
Meena.

Its raining cats and dogs!

Its Raining Cats and Dogs!!! 

The ray of light vanishes,

as the dark clouds take birth,

The first pure drops are awaited,

as they gently take place on earth.

  

  Slowly they begin to dance,

  when thunder plays the song,

   The flowers get golden chance,

    to extend their beauty life long!

     There is an outbreak of joy,

      along with laughter and fun,

      Water becomes the favourite toy,

       no one misses the blazing sun!

        There is water and mud,

         and the dry leaves turn green,

         Colours appear from the smallest bud,

          the area turns fresh and clean!

          The frogs are croaking,

           gradually disappears the dark 

           helmet,

           With flying colours the rainbow

            appears,

            to mingle with the pleasant climate.

          

         

       

  

  

Trust.!

                        A 15 year old girl named Maria was sitting in front of her window, feasting her eyes on the scenic beauty of a rainy day and also trimming her nails simultaneoulsy. Her sister Samantha, entered into the room and sat beside her on a chair.
"What's going on?" she asked her casually.
"Nothing" Maria replied.
"Are you sad?" Samantha asked by judging the expression on her 
face.
"No."
Samantha sighed and stood in front of her. "You don't know to lie Maria. Now tell me what it is."
Maria looked into her eyes and said, "Why can't you just leave me alone?"
"Here's the deal. You tell me what exactly is on your mind and then I would leave you alone. Deal?"
Maria rolled her eyes and said irritably,"Fine! It's about my friend, Chelsea."
"Go on."
"Chelsea and I used to be really good friends. But I found her gang really boring. So I decided to spend more time with my school friends.
It has been six months and we are not in touch. Well, I had a fight with my school friends."
"I never liked your school friends Maria" her sister said sceptically, "I feel they are really very bossy and always try to act over smart. What happened next?"
"I only have Jessica on my side after the fight. We both are really getting bored nowadays. So I decided to call up Chelsea."
"Oh! So now as you have no friends, you are calling up Chelsea eh?"
Maria's cheeks turned red. "She is not interested to hang out with me by the way."
"Of course she wouldn't! All these days when you were hanging out with your school friends, you didn't think about her! Don't you realize you were playing with her feelings?"
"I have one more thing to confess. Do you remember that day when I called her up to come to my place during Halloween? I did that thinking mother would let me out as I have a company. She didn't turn up by the way."
Samantha sighed. "Technically, you were using her."
Maria nodded, her head bowed low.
"You did that to her and that's why today you have no friends except Jessica. You really deserve it."
"It was not done on purpose!" Maria snapped angrily.
Samantha took her hand and said, "Always remember one thing in life. Never ever break anyone's trust. It is the only medium that strengthens any relationship. If you take that for granted, it is obvious that the relation would also break. Friends are like passing clouds but never forget the ones who helped you first."
Maria nodded and hugged her sister. "What if I apologize to her?"
"As far as I know Chelsea, she is really a nice girl. She will definitely forgive you."
Maria thanked her sister and went out of the room to call her up.
