When Hope Betrays U...

I knew her from my childhood. We have been together in thick and thin.
We faught with each other many times and still some bond keeps us
together. I know her as a girl who's very confident and bold. A girl
who's very sincere in whatever she does, who’s a very hard working
person. I saw her dreaming to be a cardiologist. Cardiologist was her
dream profession. She made herself so much dedicated to studies that
she forgot enjoyment in her life.

None of her family members liked her taking BiPC. Her parents being
very conservative wanted her to take MPC a course where we have umpteen
number of options for our career. They were reluctant to take risk in
case of a girl as it is not easy to get a seat in medicine. She has to
fight against them to take BiPC and choose cardiology as her profession.
She is very determined in such cases and I feel proud of her for this.




But was it worth fighting with family? Was it worth working hard for
three years? At the end of three years she did not get seat in medicine.
All her hopes were futile. All her dreams were bereft by the fate. Fate
played with her and she was the looser and victim of the time. We were all
shocked to know that she could not get thru and we were more worried
about her reaction. We thought no one could console her get her out of her
Depression.Theres nothing we can do if hope betrays you. Was it her fault to
dream of being a doctor? But none of us expected that she is that sportive.
To paraphrase her words, "It’s very painful to know that you have
put down the expectations of some one who has confidence in you rather than
putting down your own expectations. I expected to be a doctor and I could not,
but none of you liked me to be a doctor so I did not put down any of your
expectations. And in whatever you do it sincerely and to the best and leave
the rest to fate. Do it whole heartedly and when it doesn't come to you don’t
take it to heart
". I felt each of her words were very true. Yesterday is
like a dream, today is fate and tomorrow is hope.

And the girl whom I have been talking about is none other than my younger
sister. This is the bond that keeps us together.Am proud to say that she is my sister. A person is not called smart if he/ she is in great position and has achieved so much in life. What’s the use when u miss the basic thing "happiness" in our life. Smart are those who face all the odds in life and still be happy.

"It’s not your fault to dream when the hope betrays you .....
But dream always to be happy

Life...

Many a times I have made an attempt to understand what life is!!!
I used to have so many questions, many thoughts, and many concerns about life. I wanted to have my life in the way I wanted it to be...so many plans...so many dreams. Now when I stop and look back most of my dreams are either not fulfilled or they are so surreal. As kids we would have made our plans for being a great sport star or an actor or a successful business man or a super man if they are too fanciful. These are some of the plans for life. As the time goes we come to know that some are just unrealistic and some are impossible. We need not regret for them...in fact we should be happy for being so creative. Apart from these there are many other petty plans that we make which are part of life and which make our lives worth living. These don’t seem to be unrealistic but still not being implemented cause of many reasons. Hmmm...even in this case we need not regret as it is all in the game of life. We run so much to reach the goal of life but fail to know that we cannot run after the time. Time....the only thing that changes our life, heals many things, answers many questions. The only thing one can do is stop brooding over whatever has happened and accept the life the way it comes to you. Don’t try to change your life but change yourselves to make your life worth living. Don’t try to understand life, as one life won’t be enough for it.



And for me life is...
Sweet memories to ponder
An endless story to share
Treasured moments to cherish
Seasons of sorrows and joy to pass by
And finally a reason to live
For you and your loved ones.

On 'My' Way to 'Our' Life

Walking alone on the road of life
Seemingly endless without you beside
No earthly joy makes sense to me
without your presence next to me

U make my life beautiful
filling my way with flowers of love,
sprinkled by the showers of care

U make my journey meaningful
showing the bright colors of happiness
with the dark shades of sorrows to share



I'll be waiting to c u where our roads cross
gateway to the joy that spans miles across
Remember to meet me there where...
...my road to our life starts...
