Kaitlyn Maher "DADDY, I LOVE YOU" (LIRYCS).avi

Amazing Kaitlyn :)))
and the lyrics are just so touching.

Our meeting is not a mere coincidence!

This morning, my fav. professor shared what someone wise once told him.

"A thousand moenlams result in a chance encounter, of you and the other person. As a result of which you just pass by...in a restaurant, a book shop, a mall, a gym, a school..anywhere. Or, like my professor said.. You meet in a cab and just exchange a smile. 
And, a zillion moenlams result in you meeting that person and being able to actually strike a conversation. Even if it is but for a few minutes. 
In that case, think how many lifetimes of moenlam went in to having the people that you have right now, as an integral part of your life. "

And, it just moved my heart...so much that I was on the verge of crying. (Thank god! I have this ability to control my tears these days)  Anyways,  I was touched by the sheer truth and wisdom of those words. It was one incredible moment. To realize that I have a wonderful family, who loves me unconditionally and friends who are my second family. To have teachers who guides and inspires me. To meet strangers who eventually become friends. And, all of these happened because of the result of our prayers and moenlams of infinite lifetimes. 
Who says miracle don't happen? Being who you are and where you are; to have the family that you have; to have the sibling(s) that you have; to be married to the person you have by your side; to have found the love of your life; to be friends with the wonderful people in your life. All of these and more are nothing but miracles. The fruit of you and them , praying for countless lifetimes, to meet this lifetime. 
I am so grateful to have my family, friends and of course! to meet all of you here..on twitter, FB and blog..an entirely different universe. But, I am grateful. 
Namae samae kadrinchae la. Thank you so much. As much as I may have prayed for our reunion in this lifetime, I know it is your moenlams ,too. Because of our combined moenlams, we have met and it is a miracle. 

SOS, cries our planet.

The sad reality of this century is we are so engrossed in the daily drama of our lives, the race to be better than the other person. We tend to forget that we're all in this together, that it doesn't mean us vs them and the need for materialistic fulfillment...that we have become short sighted, mean and conceited.
I mean, how many of us actually realize that our planet is slowly dying?
  We are killing it slowly with tons of plastics that we use, the mass production of harmful gases like CO2 and cutting down of trees!
How many of us realized that CLIMATE CHANGE is a REALITY? That we are to blame? Our never ending desires and wants.
It is time we give serious thoughts to this issue. Think of what can we do to actually make a difference?
Please know that "We are living in a time when our lives and actions matter more than ever before. What will be our legacy?" Together, we can do so much because "We are a generation that is united in all that we're losing and also in all that we want to achieve"
Help save the planet, the ONLY planet in the whole universe that we call HOME.

Rekindled love affair

I got A+ for my assignment  but more than the grade, it was my lecturer's comment that made my day. "Very impressive, convincing and well written. If you keep it up, your writings will take you somewhere" 

 
Writing is something I have taken up quite recently.  Although I used enjoy my love affair with writing  during my Junior high, it kinda stopped with reading taking up most of my leisure hours. I had given up all my hopes in writing until I met a Person who not only became my good friend but a guide, too. Dear Dendu, thank you for inspiring me to write. Your words of encouragement instilled hope and gave me the courage to hold my pen again. I may not possibly become your Arundathi Roy but I sure will keep writing.

Sometimes in life, all one need is someone to encourage and believe in you, even when you have lost all hope(s) in yourself. And when you meet someone like that, it's vital that you at least try to stand up to the expectations.. making sure you don't disappoint them. Because, you meet a lot of people that will always bring you down saying you can't do it but only a few will actually have faith in you and the endless possibilities that you .
Therefore, it's important to succeed- not to prove wrong the many people that said you couldn't do it but to prove right the few that believed in you.
I pray, everyone meets some people like that.  For I believe that a kind word, a little encouragement and faith can take anyone a long way.

While you are here

I am least interested in WHY we are here, we sure have our purposes and we will find it eventually. Believe me, we sure will! 

I am wholly devoted to WHILE we are here. And, when you live in the moment... concentrate on the time while you are here...you live, love, hope and dream. When you are dreaming of what is possible for your life, please know that anything is possible. You may not always feel or see it, but you never for a single moment lack the capacity to change course. Take a different road. Cut your hair. Do things you never thought you'd do but always wanted to do. Experiment new dressing styles. Face your fears.
You see, your life is subject to infinite revisions!! :D
I pray, the time WHILE you are here is never wasted. May you find happiness and find ways to bring happiness to others, friends and strangers alike. Hugs!!

To my hero, my father.

You are my greatest strength, my most faithful supporter and my most honest critic.

 Teaching me all that you know, helping me with my homework and assignments; when ever I needed you, be it in sickness or in health.. You are always there when I look back.
Apa la, because I know I can always count on u, I've the courage to chase my dreams. In case, I fall.. I know you are always there to pick me up and inspire me to try again. 

For applauding me in my successes, supporting me in my failures;  for inspiring me to rise every time I fall, for the unconditional love you shower me with... every day; for teaching me with your example- of a life worth living, a person worth becoming;  for all of these and more.. I am always grateful. But,  I'm most grateful for the father I've in you!  Any man can be a dad but it takes a real man to be a father.

Happy father's day, apa la!!


I was truly blessed the day I was born to you and ama la.
I love you both, tons! May you always be healthy and happy;  and,  may I have the good fortune of serving you and ama la. All my love!!

Books and me.

"What an astonishing thing a book is. It is a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance in it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic!"

Inspiration for my future blog posts  :D
I pray it inspires YOU, too.. and writers, especially those who face writers' block. And, also those people who fear/dislike reading. My brother thinks of it more like a chore. I am fortunate I love reading and my baby sister is learning to love it, too.
I'm immensely grateful to my beloved parents, for their unconditional love, care, support and above all, for inspiring me to read. My parents love reading! Anything printed is readable, yes! even the food labels. LOL 
 

 Man!! Had they not introduced me to the beautiful and amazing world of books, I believe I'd have missed the greatest pleasure in the world :)) Thank you apa and ama. I love you both..to the moon and back.
