When it rains, you don't see the
sun, but it's there. Hope we can be like that. We don't always see each
other, but we will always be there for each other.



50 years from
now, id be so old, I might forget u. I might not remember ever knowing
you, or might forget I once cared for you. I might….. But I
won't.

No matter how sad, no matter how
sick, I feel better just thinking of you... but i'm happier each time i
send you a message 'coz i know i'll be DISTURBING YOU!

You are the
reason why I have sleepless nights. You are the reason why I tend to hold
my pillow tight. It's you that I'm thinking when I lay down at night. And
you are the reason I can't sleep without saying goodnight.

A coin
is easy to earn, a friend is hard to find. The coin depreciates but a
friend appreciates. IThey say as long as at least
one person cares for you, life isn't a waste. So when things go terribly
wrong, and u feel like giving up, please remember u still got
me.

I'll lend you my shoulder for you to cry on, my ears to listen
to, my hand for you to hold, my feet to walk with you, but I can't lend
you my heart coz it already belongs to you.
lost a coin when I texted you, but it's okay because
I got you.

A smile makes us look younger… while prayers make us feel stronger…
and friends…? They make us enjoy life forever.



Each day God sends His angels to guide us. We don't expect to see them
with wings, or with halo flying above their heads. Instead, they come
in disguise and we call them friends. Thank you for being an angel to
me!



A friend is like a book that has to be read to appreciate its beauty.
As such, you're one of the finest books ever written. How I wish you
could be reprinted! 



What are the differences between a peso and a friend? A peso is easy
to earn, a friend is hard to find. A peso loses it
God sprinkles tiny but wonderful seeds of blessings on earth each day...and
I just caught one that's so nice and true...It's you! 



A single candle can illuminate an entire room. A true friend lights
up an entire lifetime. Thanks for the bright lights of your friendship.



Friendship is a gift that is fair in all things. It roots from one's
heart and involves memories that stay not for a while but for a lifetime.






Care is the main ingredient that keeps true friendships alive despite
separation, distance and time. Care sustains love. Since I can't see
you, let my care be with you, friend!


What is a friend? She looks out for you, inspires you, laughs with you,
cries with you, understands you, guides you and walks with you. That's
what a friend is…you.

Gayatri Mantra Detailed Word by Word
Meaning

The Gayatri Mantra consists of twenty-four syllables - three lines of eight
syllables each. The first line (Aum Bhur Bhuvah Swah) is considered an
invocation, and is not technically a part of the original Gayatri Mantra as it
appears in the Upanishads. Gayatri is also referred to as a Vedic poetic meter
of 24 syllables or any hymn composed in this meter. Hence, there exists a whole
family of Gayatri Mantras, which serve as meditative aids to pray for the
blessings of a particular personal God.

Aum Bhur Bhuvah Swah, Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi, Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat
 

A basic translation can be given as...

Oh God, the Protector, the basis of all life, Who is self-existent, Who is
free from all pains and Whose contact frees the soul from all troubles, Who
pervades the Universe and sustains all, the Creator and Energizer of the whole
Universe, the Giver of happiness, Who is worthy of acceptance, the most
excellent, Who is Pure and the Purifier of all, let us embrace that very God,
so that He may direct our mental faculties in the right direction.

The Four Parts of the Gayatri Mantra

Aum Bhur Bhuvah Swah

1. AUM , the Supreme name of God.

BHUR BHUVAH SWAH. These three words collectively are known as the
"Mahavyahriti". They express the nature of God, and demonstrate his
inherent qualities.

2. BHUR

Firstly, the word Bhur implies
existence. God is self-existent and independent of all. He is eternal and
unchanging. Without beginning and without end, God exists as a continuous,
permanent, constant entity. Secondly, the word Bhur can also mean the Earth, on
which we are born and sustained. God is the provider of all, and it is through
His divine will that we our blessed with all that we require to maintain us
through our lives. Finally, Bhur signifies Prana, or life (literally, breath).
God is That which gives life to all. Whilst He is independent of all, all are
dependent on Him. It is God who has given us life, God who maintains us
throughout our lives, and God alone who has the ability to take away our life,
when He so chooses. The only permanent entity, all others are subject to His
own will

3. BHUVAH

Bhuvah describes the absolute
Consciousness of God. God is self-Conscious as well as being Conscious of all
else, and thus is able to control and govern the Universe. Also, the word
Bhuvah relates to God's relationship with the celestial world. It denotes God's
greatness - greater than the sky and space, He is boundless and unlimited.
Finally, Bhuvah is also indicative of God's role as the remover of all pain and
sufferings (Apaana). We see pain and sorrow all around us. However, through
supplication to God, we can be freed from that pain and hardship. God Himself
is devoid of any pain. Though He is Conscious of all, and is thus aware of
pain, it does not affect Him. It is our own ignorance that makes us susceptible
to the effects of Maya, or illusion, which causes us to feel pain. Through true
devotion to God, we can be freed from the clutches of Maya, and thus be rid of
pain and sorrow.

4. SWAH

Swah indicates the all-pervading
nature of God. He is omnipresent and pervades the entire multi-formed Universe.
Without Form Himself, He is able to manifest Himself through the medium of the
physical world, and is thus present in each and every physical entity. In this
way, God is able to interact with the Universe created by Him, and thus sustain
and control it, ensuring its smooth and proper running and function.

Also, Swah symbolizes God's bliss. All but God
experience pain, suffering and sorrow. Devoid of all such things, God alone is
able to experience supreme bliss. Happiness as experienced by humans is
temporary, a transient state of mental satisfaction, which soon dissolves back
into the mire of worldly troubles. Perfect, and without any form of deficiency,
God alone experiences true bliss, permanent and unaffected by worldly pains and
woes. One who realizes God is able to join in this bliss, and thus God is able
to impart true happiness to those who establish oneness with that Supreme
Divinity.

The Mahavyahriti can be summed up by comparison to the word
AUM itself, and through this comparison to the tripartite structure, can be
compared to the essential nature of God, which differentiates Him from the
other two entities recognized in that structure (namely, matter and soul), in
the same way as the comparison between the three parts of the word
Satchidananda, another name also used to describe God...

• BHUR Prana Earth Sat
  Existence
• BHUVAH Apana Sky Chit
  Consciousness
• SWAH Vyana Heaven Ananda
  Bliss

TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM

5. TAT

Literally, this word means
"that", being used in Sanskrit to denote the third person. It is also
mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita by Sri Krishna Himself, where He implies the
selfless nature of the word. Being used in the third person, the word has
implicit in it an idea of selflessness. Sri Krishna uses it to imply the
selfless nature of charity (charity, or a gift, being used as an analogy for
worship, in the form of action, implying that action should be preformed
without regard to its fruits, but simply out of devotion and sense of duty, or
Dharma). Tat then is used here in the Gayatri Mantra to indicate that the
worshipper is referring to [that] God, and that the praise being offered to God
in the prayer is purely directed towards Him, without thought of gaining any
personal benefit from that praise.

6. SA-VI-TUR

Savita, from which Savitur is
derived, is another name of God, this being the reason that the Gayatri Mantra
is often known as the Savitri Mantra. The implication of Savita is of God's
status as the fountain, the source of all things. It is through His Divine
Grace that the Universe exists, and so this word sums up the Mahavyahriti, by
describing God's ability to create the Universe and sustain it, as well as, at
the right time, bring about its dissolution.

Savita is also indicative of God's gift to mankind.
Humans also have, in limited amount, the power, or shakti, of Savita. This
shakti acts as an impetus in humans, and brings about the requirement for them
to do something. They cannot sit idle, and are constantly searching for
something to do. This is what is commonly known as the "creative urge".
It is through this shakti that mankind has created art, and it is through this
shakti also that scientific advances are made. The gift of Savita also gives
creatures the ability of procreation. Hence, Savita can be thought of as
meaning Father (or Mother) also.

Finally, it is the power of Savita that enables
mankind to distinguish right from wrong, and vice from virtue. Through this
ability, we are able to in some part direct our own selves, and thus, Savita
imparts to us a certain self-guiding ability. Thus, by using this word in the
mantra, we demonstrate that we are making efforts ourselves also, since God
will not help us unless we are willing to help ourselves.

7. VA-RE-NY-AM

Varenyam signifies our acceptance
of God, and can be translated as meaning "Who is worthy". Ever ready
to obtain all the material riches of the world, more often than not, they are a
disappointment once they have been achieved. God however is the one who, once
realized and achieved, has the ability to truly satisfy. We therefore accept
Him as the Highest reality, and it is to Him that we dedicate our efforts.

Varenyam can also be interpreted as signifying one
who is eligible. We have chosen Him to be our Leader and our Guide. We place
our all into His hands, and accept Him regardless of anything else. We place no
conditions on this acceptance, as it is all out of sheer devotion.

BHARGO DEVASYA DHIMAHI

This triplet is a further description of the attributes and qualities of God
- His functional and instrumental qualities, rather than intrinsic qualities -
and through those qualities, His relationship to us.

8. BHAR-GO

Bhargo is taken to signify the
Glorious Light that is God's love and power. It indicates His complete purity -
being absolutely pure Himself, God also has the ability to purify those that
come into contact with Him. Thus, Bhargo is indicative of God's power to
purify, and to destroy all sins and afflictions. In the same way as a metal ore
placed into a fire will yield the pure metal, by merging with God, by realizing
His Divine Form and establishing unity and oneness with Him, we can cleanse
ourselves and be made pure by His Grace.

Though the soul, being itself Divine in nature,
possesses that Light, it lacks luster, having been made impure by the sins and
vices, which are a result of the darkness of Maya. By removing the veil of
Maya, and cleansing our soul, God can enable the soul to realize its true,
Divine self, and thus purify it.

9. DE-VAS-YA

The word Deva, from which this word
is derived, has been translated by different people in many different ways. It
is generally thought of as meaning simply "God". However, its meaning
is more complex than that.

Deva, which forms the root of the words
"Devata" and "Devi", means "quality" or
"attribute", and can be thought of as another word for
"Guna". Thus, the various forms of God are given this name, as each
of those forms is related to a specific quality and function (for example,
Brahma has the quality of Creation, Kamadeva has the quality of love, etc.).
Also, Deva is thus used to describe anyone who is considered to possess a
special quality.

Since Deva is symbolic of the individual qualities
of God, the word demonstrates the inherent oneness of those different Forms,
and thus the use of this word can be taken as describing the fundamental unity
of God. Thus we see that here, we reaffirm that central belief in the Hindu
Dharma that "Ekam sat viprah bahudah vadanti" (Truth, or God,
is one, but wise men call Him/It by different names).

Thus, Deva is indicative of the various
multifaceted entity that is the absolute Personality of God. It describes in
one word all the functions, roles and different attributes of God, and
symbolizes therefore his absolutely essential nature - without God, nothing can
exist.

10. DHI-MA-HI

Meaning to meditate and focus our
mind on God. Meditation on God implies that we remove all other thoughts from
our mind, since thoughts of the world render our mind impure, and thus we are
unable to conceptualize the absolute purity of God. We must be able to
concentrate, and direct our mental energies towards the task in hand - which is
communion with God.

DHIYO YO NAH PRACHODAYAT

Prayer is carried out for four main reasons:

• to praise and glorify God;
• to thank God;
• to ask forgiveness from God;
• or to make a request from
  God.

Having carried out the other three parts (praise of His greatness, thanks
for His generosity in Creation and maintaining us through our lives, and
forgiveness by demonstrating our awareness of our own impurity, which we have
realized is present and must be cleansed through contact with God), this part
is now our request from God. Since our soul is the Light of Life within us, and
that acts on our body via the medium of the brain, we ask God to make this
contact pure and righteous. The soul is of course inherently pure, being itself
Divine in nature. The body is under the complete control of the mind. The link
is the mind, which is affected not only by the soul, but also the outside
world. We ask in these four words that God help us to improve our intellect,
and guide it towards what is right.

11. DHI-YO

Sanskrit for "intellect",
this is the essence of this part of the Gayatri Mantra. Having firmly set God
in our hearts, we now must try to emphasize His presence and influence on our
mind and intellect.

Material prosperity holds no true meaning for the
person who is truly devoted to God. Pain and suffering are of no consequence to
him as, touched by God, he is imbued with God's own Divine Bliss, and all
worldly sorrows pale to nothingness in comparison. However, still the
individual must live in the world. Thus, it is important that the person's
intellect remains focussed on serving God, and that it is able, through the
medium of the body, to serve God to the best of its ability.

Physical objects can be obtained very easily, if
one is intelligent enough to know how to go about it. Intellect however cannot
be obtained, but must be there from the very first. It is by use of this
intellect, in fact, that one is able to cultivate all other qualities (building
of wealth, "success" in life (in material terms), physical fitness,
etc.) Thus, intellect is the key to all else in life, and as such, it is the
most important possession. We ask God in the Gayatri Mantra to gift us with the
highest intellect, and to help us by showing us the way to use that intellect.

12. YO

Meaning "Who" or
"That", Yo signifies yet again that it is not to anyone else that we
direct these prayers, but to God alone. Only God is worthy of the highest
adoration, only God is perfect and free from all defects. It is That God to
Whom we offer these prayers.

13. NAH

Nah means "Ours", and
signifies the selflessness of the request we make of God in this part of the
Gayatri Mantra. We offer this prayer, and make the request of God, not simply
for ourselves, but for the whole of humanity. We seek the uplift of the whole
of society. Hindu philosophy has since the beginning recognized the concept of
"Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" - "The whole world is one big
family". Thus, we pray not only for ourselves, but for each and every
member of that great family, that we may all benefit from the greatness and
generosity of the All-loving God.

14. PRA-CHO-DA-YAT

Prachodayat, the final word of the
Gayatri Mantra, rounds off the whole mantra, and completes the request we make
of God in this final part. This word is a request from God, in which we ask Him
for Guidance, and Inspiration. We ask that, by showing us His Divine and
Glorious Light (cf. BHARGO), He remove the darkness of Maya from our paths,
that we are able to see the way, and in this manner, we ask Him to direct our
energies in the right way, guiding us through the chaos of this world, to find
sanctuary in the tranquility and peace of God Himself, the root of all
Happiness, and the source of true Bliss.

                 Mothers Day
The earliest history of Mothers Day dates back to the ancient annual spring festival the Greeks dedicated to maternal goddesses. The Greeks used the occasion to honor Rhea, wife of Cronus and the mother of many deities of Greek mythology.

Ancient Romans, too, celebrated a spring festival, called Hilaria dedicated to Cybele, a mother goddess. It may be noted that ceremonies in honour of Cybele began some 250 years before Christ was born. The celebration made on the Ides of March by making offerings in the temple of Cybele lasted for three days and included parades, games and masquerades. The celebrations were notorious enough that followers of Cybele were banished from Rome.

Early Christians celebrated a Mother's Day of sorts during the festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent in honor of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ. In England the holiday was expanded to include all mothers. It was then called Mothering Sunday.

  Julia Ward Howe
The idea of official celebration of Mothers day in US was first suggested by Julia Ward Howe in 1872. An activist, writer and poet Julia shot to fame with her famous Civil War song, "Battle Hymn of the Republic".  Julia tirelessly championed the cause of official celebration of Mothers Day and declaration of official holiday on the day. Her idea spread but was later replaced by the Mothers' Day holiday now celebrated in May.

 Anna Jarvis
Anna Jarvis is recognised as the Founder of Mothers Day in US. Though Anna Jarvis never married and never had kids, she is also known as the Mother of Mothers Day, an apt title for the lady who worked hard to bestow honor on all mothers.

Anna Jarvis got the inspiration of celebrating Mothers Day from her own mother Mrs Anna Marie Reeves Jarvis in her childhood. An activist and social worker, Mrs Jarvis used to express her desire that someday someone must honor all mothers, living and dead, and pay tribute to the contributions made by them.

A loving daughter, Anna never forgot her mothers word and when her mother died in 1905, she resolved to fulfill her mothers desire of having a mothers day.
Present Day Celebrations
Today Mothers Day is celebrated in several countries including US, UK, India, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Mexico, Canada, China, Japan and Belgium. People take the day as an opportunity to pay tribute to their mothers and thank them for all their love and support

We might hate this momism as a kid but we all so much miss them when we grow up. These harsh sounding and yet so sweet advices from mothers is what makes our childhood so special. These motherly sayings go a long way in building us strong and making us a better person.

The Risks and Rewards of Skipping Meals

Think before you decide to skip your next meal.People often miss meals because they get busy or are trying to lose weight. But how you skip meals, and the amount you eat at your next meal, can affect your overall health.
The scientific data on skipping meals has been confusing. In some studies, fasting has resulted in measurable metabolic benefits for obese people, and in animal studies, intermittent feeding and fasting reduces the incidence of diabetes and improves certain indicators of cardiovascular health. Even so, several observational studies and short-term experiments have suggested an association between meal skipping and poor health.
In recent months, two new studies may help explain how skipping meals affects health.
The most recent study, published this month in the medical journal Metabolism, looked at what happens when people skip meals but end up eating just as much as they would in a normal day when they finally do sit down to a meal. The study, conducted by diabetes researchers at the National Institute on Aging, involved healthy, normal-weight men and women in their 40s. For two months, the study subjects ate three meals a day. For another eight-week period, they skipped two meals but ate the same number of calories in one evening meal, consumed between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
The researchers found that skipping meals during the day and eating one large meal in the evening resulted in potentially risky metabolic changes. The meal skippers had elevated fasting glucose levels and a delayed insulin response — conditions that, if they persisted long term, could lead to diabetes.
The study was notable because it followed another study earlier this year that found that skipping meals every other day could actually improve a patient’s health. In that study, published in March in Free Radical Biology & Medicine, overweight adults with mild asthma ate normal meals one day. This was followed by a day of severely restricted eating, when they ate less than 20 percent of their normal caloric intake, or about 400 or 500 calories a day — the equivalent of about one meal. Nine out of 10 study participants were able to stick to the eating plan.
After following the alternate-day dieting pattern for two months, the dieters lost an average of 8 percent of their body weight, and their asthma-related symptoms also improved. They had lower cholesterol and triglycerides, “striking” reductions in markers of oxidative stress and increased levels of the antioxidant uric acid. Markers of inflammation were also significantly lower.
The conclusion, say the authors of the more recent meal-skipping study, is that skipping meals as part of a controlled eating plan that results in lower calorie intake can result in better health. However, skipping meals during the day and then overeating at the evening meal results in harmful metabolic changes in the body.

                               The Quitter 
When you're lost in the Wild, and you're scared as a child,
And Death looks you bang in the eye,
And you're sore as a boil, it's according to Hoyle
To cock your revolver and . . . die.
But the Code of a Man says: "Fight all you can,"
And self-dissolution is barred.
In hunger and woe, oh, it's easy to blow . . .
It's the hell-served-for-breakfast that's hard.

"You're sick of the game!" Well, now that's a shame.
You're young and you're brave and you're bright.
"You've had a raw deal!" I know — but don't squeal,
Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.
It's the plugging away that will win you the day,
So don't be a piker, old pard!
Just draw on your grit, it's so easy to quit.
It's the keeping-your chin-up that's hard.

It's easy to cry that you're beaten — and die;
It's easy to crawfish and crawl;
But to fight and to fight when hope's out of sight —
Why that's the best game of them all!
And though you come out of each gruelling bout,
All broken and battered and scarred,
Just have one more try — it's dead easy to die,
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard.
Robert Service

chances are you won't either.

between sanity and madness so many times that
I have all but rubbed it out

Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom. ”

“Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever.”

“Forgiveness is me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me.”

“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.”

“To understand is to forgive, even oneself. ”

“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.”

“In the Bible it says they asked Jesus how many times you should forgive, and he said 70 times 7. Well, I want you all to know that I’m keeping a chart.” This was by Hillary Clinton.

“Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were. ”

“Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee
And I’ll forgive Thy great big one on me”

“Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast. ”
