Last evening I went to the city with my friends to roam around and have fun...Pune city is about 20-22km from my place so we take a bus that’s takes about half an hour and with the traffic in pune takes about 45 min to reach pune... As we boarded the bus we were chattering around, laughing and giggling...
I couldn’t help notice a couple seated next to where I was standing... Their child who was about 10 years old was crying for some toy or something... I didn’t see them very properly at first but suddenly the woman turned around to ask the person behind her if it was her stop... She was blind...He replied positive and she nudged her husband to get down...He was blind too...I tried to move ahead so I could help the family get down the bus... But to my utter wonderment I saw their child, who was crying till that moment behaving like any normal kid, wipe his tears...he held his mother's hand and she in turn held her husband's hand...Then the kid waited for the bus to halt and helped his parents get down...Tears filled my eyes when I saw such a mature and wonderful behavior by the kid...
We are so lucky God has given us everything, we are physically perfect, mentally stable, educated, and financially sound yet we crib that life has been unfair to us... There are so many people who are physically challenged, mentally unstable and major population of our country is below the poverty line...They don’t understand branded jeans, they don’t crazily watch Tom Cruise’s movies...They have accepted life as it has come and they enjoy it to their fullest extent... just like the blind couple in the bus...They cannot see any color but still that does not make them feel sad. They know colors exist and they have started loving black as their favorite color...They don’t crib any more coz they are doing complete justice to their lives...
So next time u see a blind person realize that he has a better grip on life than u can ever have...
Life is like that!!!

Merry Christmas!!!
Christmas Eve is here and suddenly even the busiest person seems to spare some time for his family, shopping and buying gifts for all his loved ones… Christmas carols are being sung everywhere, suddenly it seems life has taken a very beautiful meaning…
Confessing our mistakes, trying to rectify them and asking forgiveness from the great
Lord so we could learn life in a better manner…The wine, the cake, the yummy food, new clothes and goodies and huh! Is that all Christmas about!!!
Surprisingly it is not….
Christmas depicts the birth of Lord Jesus Christ; it marks the dawn of hope and happiness at a time of ignorance and despair… It is the rise of truth and marks the end of ignorance,
Darkness, selfishness and pain…
Christmas reminds of the birth of a person who bore the burden of our sins so that
We could live a better and peaceful life. He cried in pain so we could smile and be happy… It is said that when Christ was about to die the sky was overcast with dark clouds and it seemed like the sun was lost somewhere… The clouds are misunderstood as God’s grief... No it was not His grief it was our sin that Christ was carrying with him..He
Suffered so we could live peacefully… He cried tears of blood so we could sleep happily...
Now after knowing the truth think for a second are we doing justice to one man who lived with us, preached for our betterment and sacrificed His life carrying our burden so we could live happily… Do we pay any heed to his preaching…? No here we are killing our own brothers for money.. Fighting, screaming and hating one another… Abandoning
Our own parents when they need us the most.. All we can think about is how I can become the wealthiest person in the universe… Jesus’ preaching seems long way gone.. But no, we definitely mutter some words in the morning not knowing what it means thinking about the work that is to be done the following day…
Christmas is not just about Santa and gifts and goodies... It is about spreading the message of love of a person who was born like us, lived like us and died for us... No doubt he finally reached the Kingdom Of God… No doubt he was called the Son of the Lord...
It is very easy to be a true human and a true Christian just follow the religion of humanity
And spread the Gospel of Love...

The deaf ,dumb and blind....
It seems odd but there was a time when writing was my life i couldnt stay without scribbling in my diary and now i am writing after such a looooonnng time! Newayz, life has its own mysterious ways... My exams are starting up from day after tomm......
Sometimes i feel how hyprocritic can we be..Trust me we dont mean to be so but eventually we end up being the same... LAst night i was so enraged with an incident and trust me ur gonna be terribly upset too....
A friend of mine was returning home after a tired day at office... While clinging tightly to the support rod in the bus she felt someone touch her... She dint understand and just ignored it. Then a second time she again felt a touch...She turned back and saw a man in his late 40's glaring at her..He smiled in a lewd manner and winked at her...She slappped him right in front of everyone in the bus and to her dismay the guy hit her backa dn in fact startedhiting her..My poor friend couldnt escape from his tight clutches...She crieds out for help and there was nobody in the bus who came to rescue... In fact imagine her plight when the conductor comes and says that i am not responsible for whatever happens here....
And we talk about women liberation and all such craps... Y dont we just name ourseleves Educated fools!!!!
This is not teh first time this is happening....Even when the case of the young girl being raped in the train came none of the people offered o voluneer.TEHy were mute and watching mayb waiting for "DIVINE INTERVENTION"...
And we call ourseleves responsible citizens... IF the guy who assaulted my friend was wrong then the people who were watching the drama were equivalently responsible....
It is a disgrace to be a human if this is what humans are supposed to be..>If this is what human life is then i prefer to be born an animal.... Where are we moving towards..JUst give it a athought, today it was my freind...tommm it could be ur sister,mother or probably u urself...So next time somehing happens...use the senses God has given u and do something....
