School Days ....

I am sure that the school days are one of the best memories for everyone.I have a few .. actually loads of fond memories of my school days ,I was watching a movie called Surya S/o Krishnan ,directed by the famous director from Kollywood( thats the lame name for Tamil Cinema btw)a couple of days ago and LOVED the movie. I was remembering all my college and school days.
Its always fun to meet all our schoolmates and go down the memory lane with them.Truly going to be a fun time when we all have a re union .I have been in touch with a few mates of mine ove the past few years.To name a few : Sai ,Kaushik,Nimish,Indira not to forget Surender and  a few others.Sai ,Nimish and myself we were the last benchers and always our teachers favourites (most wanted in every class) .Sai has been in touch withover the years even after schooling . During a small gathering in hyderabad met Karthik,Indira and Surender. Then when I moved to Bangalore for an year I met Kaushik ,was fun we used to play TT on the terrace top.Sai also came in a couple of times to play along with us.Then moved to Mumbai and lost touch with all.Thru FB and orkut found most of them in my group again.


About my school days it was fun all the time.Waiting whether our teachers have come to the school,will we have the class ? To name a few instances :

• We once in our 9th standard were asked to draw the heart on the black board and the whole class was standing since we could not and  then entered our favourite Mr.Uncle Sir ...guess what happened then...
• Chalk piece fights were the best during breaks and were always by the Head mistress for this ...
• We always we waiting to see if our Physics lecturer was absent to freak ....
• Not to forget our PT sir who always favoured the girls
• Our Social mam was one of the coolest teachers
• English mam was like OMG the toughest.
• Maths Sir ,who threw what he  had in hand in the name of discipline
• Biology was taught by our Head Mistress and not a class has gone without punishments
• Lunch time was the best time where the reservations for others boxes used to happen during the third period of the day
• Exams were always boring but some how we managed to slide though to the next class
• Parent teachers meeting ,one plat form for the months complaints
• Karate classes were again one more session
• We always had our maths classes after the social classes and was fun when our maths faculty used to walk in wantedly .....
•  Forget to mention that FLAMES was also part of our routine along with BOOK CRICKET during the science classes..
• Chemistry is an interesting subject but our madam put us to sleep during this class...

This visit to Hyd, I am planning for a re union with all school mates to visit our school  ....

BETTER RELATIONSHIPS

I happen to read this article and found it interesting and needy for all of us in todays world.

Three Words That Make Relationships Better

Three-Word Phrases, can be tools to help develop every relationship. 

There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships.

The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship.

~    Let me help:Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out.

~  I understand you:People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many  little ways - that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. And this can apply to any relationship.

~  I respect you:Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that another person is a true equal.  If you talk to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends.  This applies to all interpersonal relationships.

~  I miss you:Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other “I miss you.”  This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved.  Consider how important you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say “I miss you.”

~  Maybe you’re right:This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument.  The implication when you say “maybe you’re right” is the humility of admitting, “maybe  I’m wrong”.  Let’s face it.  When you have an argument with someone,  all you normally do is solidify the other person’s point of view. They, or you, will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you.  Saying “maybe you’re right” can open the door to explore the subject more.  You may then have the opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to the other person. 

~ Please forgive me:Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

~  I thank you:Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don’t take daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of  friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.

~  Count on me:A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship.  It is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating “you can count on me.”

~   I’ll be there:If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase “I’ll be there.” Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us.  We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.

~  Go for it:We are all unique individuals. Don’t try to get your friends to conform to your ideals.  Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far out they seem to you.  God has given everyone dreams, dreams that are unique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams.  Tell them to “go for it.”

~  I love you:Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person’s deepest emotional needs. The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse,  your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little words: “I love you.”  Love is a choice.  You can love even when the feeling  is gone

Wish Karo.....

If You Wish

If you wish to be respected, then be ever respectful.
If you wish to be understood, then sincerely understand others.
If you wish to be appreciated, then be ever grateful.
If you wish to be loved, then give love in each moment.

If you wish to be wealthy, then act to create real value.
If you wish to learn, then take time to teach.
If you wish to climb higher, then life others up.
If you wish to be wise, then share what you know.

Whatever you wish, life will surely give it.
What you must do, though, is to truly live it.
There is so much to live for and so much to see.
You will have whatever you are willing to be

THANKS FOR BEING THERE

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom ......


People come into our lives in different ways - through friends,relatives,parents,colleagues,educational background,travel,meetings etc.....actually can't think of more instances.At first when we meet people we get a few vibes about every person we meet.But only a few become friends and the rest become acquaintances.Of the many friends we have we share a relationship with only a few and of them we share a special or a very special relationship with only a very few.    


I have a very big circle and would like to thank them for being my friends.I would like to specially thank a few of them for always being there when I needed them the most.


I live a lot of roles in my life  son,husband,brother,grand son , brother in law,son in law,friend,yet to become a father and proud 


Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose

I am very fortunate for the kind of friends that I have made all through till this part of life .let me start with  people who are no longer in this world physically are always present with a solution for me when I need it like oxygen. He is my maternal grand father.


Every generation revolts against its fathers and makes friends with its 
grandfathers


He was always there to inspire me in life.I was not the brightest of the students but was always on the toppers list from the bottom.Some how I never believe in the academic system saying that it was necessary to have knowledge rather than pass exams.He always made me realise the importance of life and the importance of education in life.He has taught me,corrected me,heard me,inspired me to be myself and do things that interest me . I am grateful to him for always being with me and what ever I am . 


Most of my firends who know me for quite sometime and those who are close to me always tell me that I am a mama's boy and her lookalike..My mom has always been there to guide me and to give me courage for going ahead in life without fear and fortunate to have a mother like her who has always placed us above all and in everything.I believe that mother is GOD for every human on this earth and should be worshipped and loved beyond doubt. 


Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds.  Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, comrades and friends - but only one mother in the whole world


I am so grateful to my father for teaching me the values of life in a simpler way and for giving us a better and comfortable life  than he led during his childhood.He is a very principled man and is successful in this world by his own terms.He always has been my hero and always look forward to being as successful .


My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.....


I am often told by close associates as being a very protective and understanding brother.I question my self AM I ? The best ones to answer this question are my sisters whom I have always supported whole heartedly in what they wanted to do.I am also grateful to them  being patient with me when I used to get angry and tell me things that were important for me to know.

Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.

This is one of the most unique and important relationships in my life.Some one who is completely born in a different family believes in you and decides to stand by you all your life for the steps that you take.She leaves her family and comes to make a home for you.I am fortunate to get the life partner that I wanted in my life.She has always been there for me when I needed but I let her down a few times for which I always repent .I thank her for everything that she has/had done towards our relationship and completely grateful for everything and making my life a better one to live.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person !!!!!!!!!!

Yeh Dosti hum nahi chodenge : This is what he says

This is my best friend who has been there with me through my thick and thin of my life.He knows exactly what I think and reacts to situations before I think about it .He protects me like a cocoon  and knows me in and out.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born !!!! So True..

I would like to thank each of you personally for being with with me for all those times when I listened to you ,was stubborn and adamant on my views ,was down with my own perceptions ,was not able to stand up to the expectations.

I also would like to thank all my relatives and friends who are not mentioned here 


PS : For other I hope I get a chance to thank each of you someday....
