Bday

Birthday

A birthday is just another day,
young of mind, yet youthful looks go away.
Another year older,
the world seems a bit colder.
Yet my heart still burns,
and for love it forever yearns.
Another year older,
I grow even bolder.
Life is for us to learn from,
as calculated as a mathematical sum.
Another year older,
hurting blazes now just smolder.
Letting go of past rage and pain,
living life and feeling sane.
Another year older,
a tear on your shoulder.
Life has not been so bad,
my tear is of joy not because I'm sad.
Another day older,
more pages added to my folder.
I'm glad of whom I am today,
I would not have myself any other way.
So don't mind that I write my own birthday rhyme,
I've lived through my life up till this time.
I think it is safe to say,
that things will go as planned His way.
He's got more for me yet,
It'll be even better I bet.
Another year older,
and I am in His debt.

रुका सफर

दिन चल रहे हैं,
महीने भी बदल रहे हैं।
साल पर साल चढ़ रहे हैं,
कद सभी के बढ़ रहे हैं।
पर मेरा जीवन क्यों रुका है,
क्यों उसमे एक पल झुका है?
जिस पल तुमने कहा था,
ठहरो मैं अभी आता हूँ।

दान की ही महिमा

एक भिखारी सुबह-सुबह भीख मांगने निकला। चलते समय उसने अपनी झोली में जौ के मुट्ठी भर दाने डाल लिए। टोटके या अंधविश्वास के कारण भिक्षाटन के लिए निकलते समय भिखारी अपनी झोली खाली नहीं रखते। थैली देख कर दूसरों को लगता है कि इसे पहले से किसी ने दे रखा है। पूर्णिमा का दिन था, भिखारी सोच रहा था कि आज ईश्वर की कृपा होगी तो मेरी यह झोली शाम से पहले ही भर जाएगी।

अचानक सामने से राजपथ पर उसी देश के राजा की सवारी आती दिखाई दी। भिखारी खुश हो गया। उसने सोचा, राजा के दर्शन और उनसे मिलने वाले दान से सारे दरिद्र दूर हो जाएंगे, जीवन संवर जाएगा। जैसे-जैसे राजा की सवारी निकट आती गई, भिखारी की कल्पना और उत्तेजना भी बढ़ती गई। जैसे ही राजा का रथ भिखारी के निकट आया, राजा ने अपना रथ रुकवाया, उतर कर उसके निकट पहुंचे। भिखारी की तो मानो सांसें ही रुकने लगीं। लेकिन राजा ने उसे कुछ देने के बदले उलटे अपनी बहुमूल्य चादर उसके सामने फैला दी और भीख की याचना करने लगे। भिखारी को समझ नहीं आ रहा था कि क्या करे। अभी वह सोच ही रहा था कि राजा ने पुन: याचना की। भिखारी ने अपनी झोली में हाथ डाला, मगर हमेशा दूसरों से लेने वाला मन देने को राजी नहीं हो रहा था। जैसे-तैसे कर उसने दो दाने जौ के निकाले और उन्हें राजा की चादर पर डाल दिया। उस दिन भिखारी को रोज से अधिक भीख मिली, मगर वे दो दाने देने का मलाल उसे सारे दिन रहा। शाम को जब उसने झोली पलटी तो उसके आश्चर्य की सीमा न रही। जो जौ वह ले गया था, उसके दो दाने सोने के हो गए थे। उसे समझ में आया कि यह दान की ही महिमा के कारण हुआ है। वह पछताया कि काश! उस समय राजा को और अधिक जौ दी होती, लेकिन नहीं दे सका, क्योंकि देने की आदत जो नहीं थी।

love

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "Idon't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and havesomething to eat.""Is the man of the house home?", they asked."No", she replied. "He's out.""Then we cannot come in", they replied.In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what hadhappened."Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"The woman went out and invited the men in""We do not go into a House together," they replied."Why is that?" she asked.One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing toone of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success,and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husbandwhich one of us you want in your home."The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband wasoverjoyed. "How n ice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let usinvite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. Shejumped in with her own suggestion:
"Would it not be better to inviteLove? Our home will then be filled with love!""Let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife."Go out and invite Love to be our guest."The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love?Please come in and be our guest."Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also gotup and followed him. Surprised, t he lady asked Wealth and Success: "Ionly invited Love, Why are you coming in?"The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success,the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love,wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!! !"

“No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make the other person feel important.”
“Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, ''Make me feel important.'' Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life.”

कहने को

कहने को बहुत है पर कैसे कहें,
दिल की बात जुबान पर कैसे रखें।
न जाने तुम्हारे मन में क्या है?
चेहरे का हर भाव कैसे पढें।
कहीं कह दिया और तुम चल दिए,
यही बात से हर वक्त हम डरें ।

Good mother

To have good sons or daughters in our society, we must have good mothers. A good mother doesnot mean only giving birth to a child and bringing him up so that he take care of his parents in thier old age. A good mother means inputting of good habits, good qualities and a good sense so that a child becomes a good human being and serves a society.

A good doctor always saves life of a person when he needs him in emergency.

A good soldier sacrifies his life for his country. A good leader always keeps his personal interest aside and fights for good cause in the society. A good businessman leads his counrty ahead in world economy. A good engineer always works in dedication and builts nation's infrastructure for comfort of others.

Why mother should be so good ? It is because a child responds to his mother right in her womb. Child listens and follows his mother in every aspect. It is then a prime resposibility of a mother to teach good leasons to her child. A responsible mother produces a responsible society. A good society is group of good families who serve at thier best in the society. Always produce good examples in the society rather than breaking rules, norms and humanity barriers in the society.
