For all the Ladies...

I got this writeup forwarded by a friend, in an email. I do not know who has written this. but who ever has, has gotten it almost perfect. Its a superb expression, straight from a womens heart!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'The woman in your life...very well expressed... '

"Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;

Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and TRUST her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it. "

My God...

What do you do when you are in trouble, alone? What do you do when you see no way out of a difficult situation? Turn to your parents? Relatives? Friends? Or you turn to God? Sit in his mandir, your hands folded in prayer and tell him to get you out of this all.
Why do people ask for a mannat? Not only old generations do this, even I have done it a couple of times. But why?


Recently happened that I was not doing so well and was sort of surrounded with a host lot of problems. Personal, professional. I really thought that whatever problems there could be in my life, slowly started finding their way towards me, all at the same time. I fought with them. Gave my best. But I also prayed. I prayed to God to set things right for me. Give me my peaceful life back.

And to my greatest relief, my life is returning back to normal. My problems taught me a huge amount of lessons. Lessons, I wont dare to forget my entire life!
So was it god who put all the things back on track for me? Was it my destiny? Was it my people whom I turned for help? Or was it simply me?
What is God? A person? An idol? An imagination? A faith, maybe..
A faith in whom? A belief in whom?

‘I used to be an Atheist, till I realized, I WAS GOD!’

What does this sentence really mean?

‘God helps those who help themselves!’

Both quotes have the same meaning at the end, Don’t they? (though the first one means more like one by an an egoist, but reading it carefully, it might not!!)
All you need to have is faith, in your self. You should have faith that whatever you are doing is correct.
And till the time you have this faith in yourself, not one person in this world can make things wrong for you!
