How true it is!!

An unknown Confederate soldier wrote the following Prayer depicting his attitude towards life.

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy;
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise
of men;
I was given weakness, that I might feel the
need of God.
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life;
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for-but everything
I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers
were answered.
I am among all men, most richly blessed.

Can't agree more! [:)]

A rambling note

Its a pretty nice weather here.
I had a good start of my day and kept myself busying in reading novel all through the day.Lately I have started "Freedom at Midnight" by Dominique Lappierre and Larry Collins.Quite a good novel till page and I hope its going to be worth reading.
And yeah did I tell you that I have become a Coffee freak from past few days?
Well, its not like that I was not but yeah the case was I didn't like to have it so often but now the case is totally opposite.I just can't live up my day without it.
One more thing....I just love to have it at CCD and that too at 10.30pm....[:P]
Well, time to get back to my dear book. She is waiting for me, you know!

Till time,
Ciao!

WAITING

WAITING

I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways
And what is mine shall know my face.

Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.

What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it hath sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.

The waters know their own, and draw
The brook that springs in yonder heights;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delights.

The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave comes to the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me.

John Burroughs

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

For the past few days, I am conversing a lot more often with some of my friends and the talks are nothing special but just usual-go-on-kind of talks.
One reason could be a few months more for my graduation.All my close buddies, would moseyed through their individual ways of life and will get scattered for varied reasons.This mere feeling of getting away from them brings shiver in my body.But again, life's like that only.
But sometimes, I wonder how casually we use this word 'Friend'? Its so natural for us to call anybody as our friend even if we have talked to that person only for once.
How do you seggregate the 'friends' who can really act as a shoulder to lean on from the ones who won't even answer your calls when you need them the most? The term 'friend' is being used pretty loosely.I mean, you enjoy talking to someone thats ok but what really counts for me is how much can I trust the person. I may not make a ton of friends that way but I know that the ones I have made, I can trust them throughout my life.
I think "making friends" isn't just about getting people to commit to you, its also about your commitment levels to them. If I care for a person, I do expect the same from the other person also. Its always about mutual understanding between two people.
I personally feel that honesty is the most important ingrediant in any relationship. If you are actually pals with someone, let that person know, if you are not, let him/her know that too.One would always be comfortable with whom one is able to connect.
And one more thing, if you feel something more other than friendship for someone, clarify it on the firstly basis.Few years down the lane, you should not have regret for not saying the thing you wanted to say.Afterall you never know, whats written there in your account!

And here the cliche is Never never compromise on your friends!

And ya, yet again I assay my aught,

Never forget....
A FRIEND is one,
who can UNDERSTAND your PAST,
BELIEVE in your FUTURE,
and ACCEPTS your TODAY.

Guess, its high time to get back to my offlate interest.[:P]
