She can't stop laughing still

Her house is too far.
But the journey is merry.
Smiling and shiny.
Comes Artz riding the black pony.

I don’t know why she can’t keep
From laughing..
Is it me or is it my
Hilarious face

Maaaast says she
Maaaaast we say
And Maaaaast it was

Now her tummy is full
A little cute round
Burps me and you
A great big Chinese lunch
Out in the sun
Baby what to do?
Sparks in her eyes
She needs vodka now!

Sits down in Styx
In her rocking chair.
Can’t stop laughing still.
I can’t put a finger on why?
She is just happy I guess
She loves her drink.

“Oye Chotu”- she calls
She needs another peg.
“Maast”- I say
As I see the waiter run to serve

Time has come
To say goodbye
Good things never last long
“Don’t miss me too much
And cry a lot”
She can’t stop laughing still..
I can’t put my finger on why?

TRUST

T.R.U.S.T.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear this word - TRUST!

Do you start thinking about someone on whom you can trust or do you think about the one who broke your trust?

Sometimes it gets so difficult to decipher what the word Trust is all about!

Let me share a small story with you guys about God and his disciple...

Once a village was drowning due to floods. The rescue operations had begun.

There was a village temple. The priest was a big worshipper of Lord Shiva. When the floods had just hit the village, all the people starting moving to other villages. They offered to help the priest, but he refused saying that his Shiva would come to help him.

The water levels had begun to rise. The commandos came in boats to rescue people, but the priest again refused the help offered saying that his Shiva would come.

The whole village was drowning in the flood. The temple also drowned in the water. The priest clinged to the tip of the temple tomb. Military officers came through a helicopter and they tried to help him. But the priest again refused it.

The next day, the priest died. He reached heaven and started fighting with Lord Shiva.

"I worshipped you day and night, not minding any heat or cold and you did not even bother to help me when I needed you the most," shouted the Priest.

"Dear child, I know who needs me when. Did not your fellow villagers call you while leaving for another village?'' enquired Lord Shiva.

"Yes they did," said the priest.

"Did the commandos and the military men offer to help you?" asked Lord Shiva.

"Yes they did," said the priest.

"You denied the help offered to you by me. I was trying to save you in the form of the villagers, the commandos but you kept ignoring my help and that is why you are here. Please do not doubt my intentions dear disciple," explained Lord Shiva.

The priest was dumbstruck. He had almost lost the trust he had on his Lord which had made him to shout on his Guru. He cursed himself for this act!

It sometimes becomes necessary to bestow some trust on others. Otherwise, the survival becomes impossible. Don't we trust the one who delivers milk at our place? Don't we trust the ones who call us for a dinner at their place? Don't we trust our friends, our parents or our siblings? Sometimes we tend to trust a few strangers as well...

Life is all about trust. There will be an handful of people who would break your trust. They would force you to take a decision of never to trust anyone in life. But TRUST is like our thumb. We can't write without it, we can't hold a spoon without our thumb. It is that important. Trusting someone will give you happiness. And who knows, that someone would compensate for all those who broke your trust at some point or the other in life, isn't it?

Trust is the base of every strong relationship. The stronger the factor of TRUST, the stronger will be your relationship and hence, more happiness! :)

P.S. : I hardly know what went through my mind that forced me to write this. Hope you like it! :)

My 50th post in a few days...

Hey guys,

My 50th post is coming up soon. No grand celebrations this time, but yes, there will be a big post from my side.

The world of blogging is so different! I mean, this world just never ceases to amaze me...phew!

Talk about different genres of writings or about different types of people...some people become your friends, some just take you for granted and writing anything they feel about you on their personal blogs, some just backstab you, some become your bestest friends...all these things amaze me.

In these six months time, I have made many friends and a few foes as well... I have also had the opportunity to feature on some wow-type blogs! :)

Anyways, I am coming up with my 50th post very soon. Thanks for all the support guys (good or bad). If ever I go away, I would miss all of you! :)

Love ya all... Take care! Mwah! *A Group Hug*

'Motivation' - A change to bring about!

MOTIVATION comes from the Latin word 'moveers' which means to move.

It is the energizer of behavior and mother of all actions. Motivation is one key factor in understanding oneself. It is the WHY behind every action of ours. It is that push that makes you to do something worthwhile.

All of us are here to find the motive behind our lives. Every single day we are engaged in the process called self-understanding...why we want to follow a particular path, where will that path lead us to, what will be the repercussions of following that particular path and what if we don't choose to follow that path.

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors...heard of them?

Intrinsic factors include...doing something for internal happiness, may be. For example, playing a soccer match? When doing an activity itself becomes a reward for you, that form of motivation is called Intrinsic.

Extrinsic factors includes rewads from external sources. For example, money or recognition.

My point is that each activity we perform is a result of some direct or indirect motivational factors. Motivation is something that keeps us alive and kickin'.

Hunger for success motivates you.

Thirst for something you have always dreamt of having motivates you.

Financial Security? Why? Your family's faces motivate you.

Work and earn points at work? Why? The fator called Recognition motivates you.

There might be different reasons why to feel motivated. Your reasons and mine may be entirely different. But what I mean to say is everyone feels and should feel motivated!

'Motivation' is one thing that should run in your blood, in every vein! When your goal seems to be unrealistic to anyone, don't you think that you need that push in you to show everyone that it was very much achievable? So that you feel like celebrating with the world after you accomplish it?

I know, with each tough moment, it gets difficult to keep oneself motivated... but it is only this M.O.T.I.V.A.T.I.O.N. that will keep you going and sail through every storm.

With motivations, comes happiness.

A lot of difference lies in saying - 'would want' and 'I must'. 'I must' will give you the push! Whereas, 'would want' will help you remain laid back! Getting out of that 'comfort zones' we enjoy needs Motivation, realizing those goals needs the motivation. There is some part of us that does not want to accept that change, that does not want to reach our objectives in life. For this, breaking those inhibitions and remaining motivated is the key!

Stay motivated, no matter what in you forces you to remain laid back!

Staying motivated, is staying happily and successfully.

Wishing each one of you all the success and happiness you desire!

Love and blessings,

Artz!

P.S.: This post is inspired by two people very special to me. Thank you Pushkala didi and Sandeep! Love ya guys!

Savior for Me, A Life to See...

He is my Angel

My Savior

He took me by my hand

And showed to me

The Road to Happiness!

I worried

I had lost my smile

Kept yearning for someone

Who would

Bless me with a life!

God heard my cries

He sent you for me

That soothing smile

My sorrows

I saw them flee!

With you by my side

The journey seems joyful

Every pain seems to fade away

Happiness our companion

Along with all those smiles!

Being with me

Is what I need as a promise

With you with me

I am ready for more to see!

Dear Mom...!!

Dear Mom,

I always wanted to know
How much you love me
Staying awake through the night
I cried for that love

That love
That I wanted to see in your eyes
I never saw it ever
Why mom? Why?

Why do you make me cry
Can't you see the pain in my eyes?
I know you know my pain
Still you never hold my hand
My tears all in vain!

Hold me dear Mom
You mean the world to me
Let me share your worries
Will I ever see your love
Raining on Me?

Will you let me confide in you?
A moment of happiness
A single moment of bliss
Is all that I desire!

When I try to hug you next

Please do not push me away
Let me rest in peace there
Because that is my world
My world to stay!

- Your Daughter!
