When two
great minds meet, they discuss an idea.When two great people meet they discuss
an event and when two fools meet they discuss about others.I have few friends
who are very curious to know what other friends are doing and nothing wrong
about it because nobody is in constant touch with everyone and what is wrong is
that people starting judging others.Who are we to judge anyone,every living
thing in this world are prisoners of birth and in this period we are prisoners
ofcircumstances too.Not everyone are saint to sacrifice their priorities for
others,personal priorities are vital to keep anyone going.And everyone wants to
do what is right at the moment for them,right for them might be wrong for
others, that doesn’t mean that we give up our right and rights just because its
wrong for others.My close pals very well know that I don’t discuss about a
person who is not present there, if mandatory to discuss,I say that we just
analyse his situation rather than coming to a conclusion.One incident where X
was blamed for not respecting Y,my opinion was that self respect was important
for X that respect for Y.Before we judge anyone we fail to imagine ourself in
the situation and our reaction to the situation but we criticize other person’s
reaction. “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”-Mother
Theresa.Mother Theresa wouldn’t have said the above lines unless she was
criticized for her great social service,but she did what she felt was right.Who
are we to judge people?

I Love You...oh! Really?
Literate or illiterate,every knows this "I Love You" devoid of the geographical locations.I have said it and heard it too,this must be the only sentence in English that gives same pleasure on saying and on hearing.Times change,relationships change and people change but the "I Love You" doesn't change.Looking back at my life,the honesty of ILY has changed according to the circumstances and priorities,and past ILY are skeptical.Sometimes I sit and think which ILY was true and which was lie,but all the ILY were true at that moment,and all of them have become a lie of the past.ILY always stands true till we say it,things change after it is whispered.The Fountainhead is my most favorite novel,and Howard Roark is my most favorite character,and below is an extract from the book.
"We never need to say anything to each other when we're together. This is- for the time when we won't be together. I love you, Dominique. As selfishly as the fact that I exist. As selfishly as my lungs breath air. I breathe for my own necessity, for the fuel of my body, for my survival. I've given you not my sacrifice or my pity, but my ego and my naked need. This is the only way you can wish to be loved. This is the only way I can want you to love me. If you married me now, I would become your whole existence. But I would not want you then. You would not want yourself-and so you would not love me long. To say 'I love you' one must first know how to say the 'I'. The kind of surrender I could have from you now would give me nothing but an empty hulk.If I demanded it, I'd destroy you. That's why I won't stop you. I'll let you go to your husband. I don't know how I'll live through tonight, but I will. I want you whole, as I am, as you'll remain in the battle you've chosen. A battle is never selfless. [...] You must learn not to be afraid of the world. Not to be held by it as you are now. Never to be hurt by it as you were in that courtroom. I must let you learn it. I can't help you. You must find your own way. When you have, you'll come back to me. They won't destroy me, Dominique. And they won't destroy you. You'll win, because you've chosen the hardest way of fighting for your freedom from the world. I'll wait for you. I love you. I'm saying this now for all the years we'll have to wait. I love you, Dominique."</p>

Whts n grmr?
Mst f t ppl I txt,use tis language tht s shrt n smpl,bt then I've difficulty n undrstndng it.I was told that grammar is very important for any language,so is the spelling,and so is the phonetics.I even remember struggling with the stress and strain exercises during my English classes,we had to buy Wren and Martin book(which wasn't a part of our syllabus) to improve our grammar and vocabulary.Those days, I never understood what grammar or vocabulary was,and I don't think I still know completely.My English teachers were so keen on grammar exercises,and it was hard to impress them with the subject alone,they wanted grammar,punctuations.The worst part was,my class teacher was an English teacher,and submitting a leave letter was the most difficult assignment,he would look for the missing coma,fullstop,with an exceptional eye for your's and yours.One friend of mine told me about her friend saying caspicum for capsicum,and from then on I've been having difficulty to say capsicum,because caspicum comes to my mind.And the same friend pointed that I say flug for plug and only then did I notice that so many people around me say flug.Language is just a tool for communication,where the other person understands the message,so no grammar is important,but then as is difference between a gross work and a fine work so is the difference between a language and grammatically correct language.I think G.B.Shaw once said,show me your books and I'll tell who you are,the same way show someone your writing,it will say how well educated you are.I'm not an English teacher to be speaking about this,but the txt msgs frm ma bros gave me these thoughts.When I tell my brother about this,he says " v r gen y".
Do you read? No,I exercise.
<p>I don’t read, I just exercise, I know its funny that reading is an exercise, but it is a matter of fact that reading is an exercise for the brain. Few friends of mine criticize me when I prefer reading than watching a movie for three hours, and few other friends envy my habit of reading. For those who read they know, and for those who don’t, reading is an addiction that doesn’t deteriorate physical state of a body but rejuvenates the mind. For any new friends I make, I’m always curious to know if they read, If reading is a pleasure, then discussing good read is a bliss. Few years back whenever I’m done with a book, I’d love to talk about it but there were only very few friends of mine to discuss. One incidence that I enjoyed of a book description was of a friend Benjamin Thomas Mavellan,while he told me the opening scene and the end scene from the book The Fountainhead, it was not only his mouth that was speaking of the book, his eyes, his hands, his whole body was telling me the love he had for that book and the next day I was hunting for The Fountainhead, and Benji didn’t disappoint me. Such is the pleasure of reading. Reading transports us to a different world, it has hard for us to relive in the classic era, but a book can take us to any era, even visual media can do it, but visual media forbids our imagination to theirs. Somewhere I read a quote that Reading opens one’s mind to others etc I can’t recall it but I can understand. Such is the power of reading that it can transport you into any unknown world. On a friend’s recommendation I had installed Quora, there was an interesting question “why do people who read, love to read?”Only those who read can answer the question and there was a fantastic reply quoting the readers explanation in regard to Harry potter series. We all know that Harry Potter movie ia a visual delight and Lord of the Rings is no less, the movies are the execution of imagination of the technicians, and they can’t execute such beautiful fantasy without reading the book. On a personal note, I feel reading gives us an exceptional insight to look into our daily happenings. Whoever comes to me asking for to start reading, I’d recommend to start with Sidney Sheldon, but now I’ve been recommending Chetan Bhagat.If you aren’t into reading, then let me tell you that you are restricting your mind of its ability to,think and do great things.</p>
