Forever Friendship

My friendship means a little HEART that never hates,
A cute SMILE that never fades,
A smooth TOUCH that never shakes,
And a strong RELATIONSHIP that never breaks...

Ultimate Measure

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort,
But where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

R 'Open' & 'Close' Opposites?

Why do we say that 'close' and 'open' are opposites of each other,
Though we know that the person to whom we are very 'close',
Is the one we are very 'open' with...

Smile and Shine

If you see someone without a smile,
Give him one of yours.
Coz you are among a few good people,
Who can shine other's lives by just waking with them a few miles...

Time, Time, Time...

Time has a very interesting dynamic and dimension.
As we look forward, time seems as if it is going to last forever.
As we look back, time passes very quickly.
When we manage time prudently and productively,
time becomes very valuable to us and produces many benefits.
It takes practice, patience, and perseverance to develop the skills to manage time wisely,
but the rewards are well worth the effort.
The reality of time is that time is a precious resource that moves quickly.

Money

I met money and said -
"You are just a piece of paper..."
Money smiled and said -
"Of Course I am just a piece of paper,
But I haven't seen a dustbin made for me as yet..."

Forever Friends

Friendship is not about;
Whom you have known the longest,
Who came first,
Or who cares the best;
Its all about who came and never left...

Complete and Finished

People say there is no difference between the words Complete and Finish.
But I feel there is a difference,
Because when you love the right one you are Complete,
And when you love the wrong one you are Finished...

People and Things

People are made to be Loved,
And Things are made to be Used.
But the problem in this world is-
People are being Used,
And Things are being Loved...

Desires

Don't spoil what you have,
By desiring what you don't have.
Because what you have now,
Is one of the many things you once desired for...
