• Title: A Man Should Strengthen Himself

  (Stanza 1)

  Vigorous when facing the beatings of ten thousands heavy waves

  Ardent just like the rays of the red sun

  
  

• Having courage like forge iron and bones as hard as refined steel

  Having lofty aspirations and excellent foresight

  I worked extremely hard, aspiring to be a strong and courageous man (AKA Hero)

  In order to become a hero, One should strive to become stronger everyday

  An ardent man shines brighter than the sun

  (Stanza 2)

  Allowing the sky and sea to amass energy for me

  To split heaven and part the earth (To create a new world) , to fight for my aspirations

  
  

• Watching the stature and grandure of jade coloured waves

  at the same time watching the vastness jade coloured sky, let our noble spirit soar

  I am a man and I must strive to strengthen myself.

  Walking in firm steps and standing upright let us all aspire to be a pillar of the society, and to be a hero

  Using our hundredfold warmth, to bring forth a thousandfold of brilliance

  Be a hero

  Being ardent and with strong courage

  Shine brighter than the sun

well....

it has been a long time since i had posted anything in this blog...

So much has happened in life ....

Recently quit my well paying and absolutely safe job for starting up a business venture..... deemed idiotic by a lot of people who had my best interests at heart... blessed to succeed by even more people... some of them blessed because they thought it was not relevant whether i won or not..

A few of these well wishers.. my friends were the reason ... they reminded me why there is still life on earth...
So am back to surfing the web full time ... exploring interesting things... forcing my limitations... seeing my limitations take effect...
it is a great feeling to find out what are the issues.... and then gain the courage to correct them.... it is the simplest of issues that require the maximum effort to correct... the bigger problems are not that difficult....

Wil keep blogging regularly from now on ....

my friends

well... in life there has always been people who have helped me what i have become today..
there were so many things that i feel towards them and wish to tell them but would seem so unbelievable if said to the face..


i will be posting about them in the days to come ... the order in which i will be posting will be random.... it will serve more so as a way of thanking them and remembering them during long periods of absence as it may happen in life...

because you .......

It seems as though that we as people would like to thank someone in our life for being there and being the reason we are the way we are ...


wouldn't it be wonderful and make us truly blessed if we could look at someone and sing the following song..

( because you loved me by celine dion )


For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

waiting for the screams of the dying to propel us into action ?

We often watch in movies that when the hero of the movie faces a tragedy like the murder of a loved one to take action and destroy the villain...

In real life though the state of affairs are even more pitiful.... From a point where we need to prevent bad things from happening people usually wait till something bad happens befor they change themselves or take the necessary action.

In real life though I have started thinking why i should wait for something to happen before i am propelled into action.

When we read stories of great people we come across incidents in their lives that had a lasting effect and caused the to do what they did and become what they are. When people talk about achievements they talk about the over whelming odds against which they succeeded,....

But what of the people who do not have that many challenges. who are not facing dire things in life... We usually hear of a person who succeeded against overwhelming odds. What about the common man who does not face overwhelming odds.

In an era when most evils are being considered as part of life what can be done ?

When will he rise up to the occasion. When will we start acting before the screams reach our ears ?

The time is near...

acceptance

the last week was one roller coaster ride of a life time ..... was with friends for the entire week and as usual the monkey upstairs was up its usual tricks...

was feeling extremely confused and out of touch with everyone and sad..... it was kind of weird concoction of feelings...

i had these feelings inside me and a part of me was extremely scared because of a recent debacle in my life.... i just kept trying to understand why i was feeling this way... but the more i tried to understand the more i felt frustrated and confused and angry ......

then i was sitting along with my friends and suddenly i realized .... no matter what happens the way i feel is not going to change... it was not a mere feeling ... it was something beyond that ..
that was what i was at the moment.. i had to accept it no matter what ..

I realized at this point in my life whether i understood why i felt about her that way or not i am not going to change.. i will always feel the same way no matter what...

once i accepted that everything became so clear. just a few moment ago i was in all this turmoil as to what to do and after i accepted the inevitable there was so much freedom that i could think clearly.... that i all of a sudden became so happy... the way was clear... the actions that i had to do was so clear that i was on top of th world....

am still there waiting for her to join me ....

beauty

This happened a few months back..

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about situations in life. We were just chatting along when he started talking about a girl that he met along with his friend. they had met online and were planning to meet at the movie. The girl was not too good to look at and he was making fun of her saying that he would not have gone for the movie at all,if he knew that she was going to look like that..

I actually could not laugh at his jokes about someone someone's looks.. In my experience the beauty of a person is never in the skin and bones but it is in something beyond that. Something that is not tuned to our normal senses. You will know whether a person is beautiful or not only when you know about them..

In my life i have met people who are very shy about their appearance because they are dark or because they do not look good and a lot more.

But many of the people who have made a difference in my life are not beautiful at skin depth. They look like me. But every time i have fallen down , their memories , their words, their actions, their examples, their heart has brought me up in a matter of moments. I have been silently thankful to so many of them in different phases of my life.

Whenever somebody i know talks about people who are not handsome or beautiful i really feel sorry for them for they are missing out on some of the most wonderful people on earth just because of this view .

Never will i make that mistake that a lot o people around me make..

Think about this .... how many people have you turned away from being friends because they do not look good. It takes a lot of courage to admit it. Because i almost lost some of the best people in my life because of this thought. A wise man learns from others mistakes.

beauty is never skin deep... it is at a depth much greater than the deepest oceans..
