If- Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

The ferrari concept!

Every Indian man dreams of owning a Ferrari... and wants to be an F1 winner. But fact remains that there is only ONE Ferrari-Schumacher combo. And Ferraris, even if you don't drive them DEMAND MAINTENANCE! As for F1, you can't host it on Mumbai's roads, can you?

Men need to be reminded of the grounds they stand on!

Freedom... is a price you pay...

They bind you in love, with sweet words and fears...
They trap you in hugs, kisses and tears;

Where would I be without you?
Where would you be without me?
If it's really the answer you want...
I'd say... WE'D LIVE FREE!!!

VIVIDHA... VIVA VIDA!

Somebody and Me

Somebody... not me...
decided where I should be born

Somebody... not me...
decided where my baby should be born;

Somebody... not me...
was with me for the first, early excitement days of motherhood

Somebody... not me...
decided her name would be from B,V,U...

Somebody... not me...
did not let her be Samskaara

Somebody... not me...
planned how to celebrate her birth


Somebody... is free somewhere, and enjoying life

Me, not Somebody, is trapped in LOVE; and wondering if it is worth the tears.
Me, not Somebody, wonders how it would feel to be free again.

"MOMMY"... is MEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

My little princess born on Independence Day! 5 weeks earlier than anticipated. They put her to my cheek, tiny n slimy, immediately after she was born
(by c-sec).
They say she looks like Samir. She has his chubby cheeks and a dimple... But her eyes are mine! Curious, strong and confident- from the day she stepped into this world.

Samskara, my love and my life! You will be an independent and responsible woman.
