SMILE

Smile is all I want
Smile is all I have

Smile gives sunshine to tired soul
It gives might to the weary heart
Smile brings freshness to the sulked
It brings rest to the worried

To Smile costs you nothing
It gives your friends everything
Hold it, it is of no value
Give it, it is worth gold

Let's Spread the smiles
As we walk the miles
To Smile, it takes a moment
The memory of it last's forever

Smile is all I want
Smile is all I have

Keep Smiling :-)

Silence is tapping of hearts

Silence is not lack of action
Silence is time for reflection

Silence is not lack of strength
Silence is analyzing the weakness

Silence is Sound

Silence is knowing self !

Shhh.......Silence

Habit

I am in you
I grow with you
In your command, I strengthen you
In my command, I fail you
The good of me makes you
The bad of me breaks you
Show me the way, I perfect the art
Leave me away, I bring regret
I define you to the world
You can’t see me unless someone shows me
Who Am I ??
I am HABIT

FAQ's

1.5 years, life in 3 countries and they remain the same. Dedicated to gonna be European friends/acquittance's !


--> Are all Indians Hindu's ?

Though majority are, we have all religions. If you don't like any we end up following baba's and amma's.

--> Do you also eat with Hands (with all sort of facial expressions)?

Yeah, I do. Indian cuisine with hands tastes better. Try next time when you have our food, you will feel the difference.

-->Do you Speak Indian ?

Excuse me, we have a common language which is Hindi. Gosh, again, please don't mock up a synergy like French, Spanish, Italian.

-->Is Cricket your national sport ?

Nope, National sport is HOCKEY, but yeah Cricket in India is like football to Brazil.

-->You are vegetarian, is it to do with your religion ?

No sir/madam. I am really a wrong sample representing India when it comes to eating, apologies. We have people who will give any one a run for money and they are a growing majority.

-->How can you decide in one meet and accept her/him for life ?

Seriously i have no clue. But, may be one of the reason for less divorces. It is a marriage of two families, much beyond two involved (movies help out man.

-->Bollywood movies have songs and dancing - Hilarious ?

By movies we mean fun. It is a package for us. Dancing, singing, fighting and jokes fulfill our movies and make them rich.

-->Who is the most famous actress, the girl from Slumdog ?

Nope, she is just OK, I would even say we could get a makeup less F.Pinto in our streets and guys wouldn't care, but the best of this generation would be some one like Aishwarya Rai.



PS : To all my Indian's friends, seems that we need to storm this part of the world more and give these chaps an exposure to our culture like we did to Americans :P

5 Reasons Why MAN U will win the CL 2011

a) Sir Alex and Man U would have conquered the long dream of 19th championship. Momentum, calmness, strength and flair will all be with them.
b) Team Man U will play attacking brand of football for 90 minutes with flanks exploding with pace and trickery, in Rome it lasted only 30 minutes and everything went through CR, lessons learnt, Old fox can't be outfoxed again.
c) Schmeichel ended his Manchester United career with 1999 treble so too will Van de Saar with the 2011 double.
d) It is being played in WEMBLEY 60000+ cheering for the Red Devils, Barca’s playing and acting both will give in.
e) Historically neither team has won two consecutive matches, do I need to say more ?

Man U 2-0 !

Will PEP end up doing a ROGER

As it turned out Jose has done it again, though he had to surrender his 10 years of Invincibility at home. It would be a mammoth task for any manager to land a trophy at a new club in less than 12 months let alone do that in 4 different countries. Tribute to the SPECIAL ONE as a new era begins, an era where rivalry will take the sport to unparallelled heights, the winner for sure will be the game.

We have enjoyed the dominance and play of this Barcelona team under PEP, like we enjoyed Roger's dominance of Slams. But the best thing that happened to tennis was when a tireless tenacious 19 year old decided to run down every ball and topple the strength of Roger to a misery under pressure (the lethal one handed backhand wilted and still misses the lines against Nadal).

Here comes the parallels, Barcelona take your breath with one touch passing, sublime 7 second pressing off the ball and truly produce magical football, something similar to what Roger brings to Tennis - Elegance and Perfection. Treat to eyes, moments galore. But such dominance needs spice otherwise it could put off the neutrals and would never appeal to newer audience. To take the sport to the next level you need a rival and finally PEP has his task cut out. Real Madrid with Jose at the helm are molding themselves into a Nadal - Speedy, Tenacious and Never give up (wear your opponent out mentally and mistakes will give you Victory). The parallels dont stop there. Nadal made clay his fortress, improved on grass and then humbled Roger on Hard courts. Bernabeau will be a fortress (jose 10 years of management is a proof for it), neutral venue will give madrid 50:50 chance of winning the match and at Valencia they showed what they are, and it will be a matter of time before Barcelona would be pressurized at Catalan. But for now the philosophy of Barcelona will be under the Jose pump and if Champions league tie over two legs doesn't go their way (they still are the overwhelming favorites) then people would call this philosophy of elegant football as uni-dimensional. No matter how many trophies you win, as the best in sport you always want to win that extra against your nearest rival.

The ball truly is in Pep Gaurdiola's court. Will he stick to his philosophy of elegant one touch football or go the Manchester United way of giving up pleasure for results. Do his players have what it takes to deliver on Big occasions against such rivals (Roger attacking the net against Nadal though keeps the point short he doesnt get the major chuck going his way)?

Only time will tell but for the moment let us enjoy the remaining 2 EL clasicos this year and minimum couple more next season (after which PEP being smart for sure would phase himself out, his engine Xavi would be 30 and wouldnt be the same to feed the little under 5.7 strikers to keep netting).

What better that a tactically brilliant coach with a ready to die team testing his wits against technically brilliant coach with a machine team at the biggest stage "Champions Legue". For sure Barca could wake up and show the kids of RM that it could take longer or Jose might end up having the last laugh.

Will PEP end up doing a ROGER ??

GREY city

Paris – Capital and largest city of France, situated on the river Seine, is in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. It is a city of dreams, a city of love, fashion capital and a tourist delight. Every description of Paris is true if you are here as a Tourist. It is a sight to behold, a city that is excellently connected and every corner of it has an amazing history. Called the grey city for it building’s it is now turning out to be GREY.
Saint Denis – historic importance, State De France – Stadium of Paris that hosts wonders and a hub of corporate houses surround this region – you might be at no fault if you expected this to be one of the safest regions in Île-de-France region . But the truth remains you are not safe here from 7 to 7, no matter which mode of transportation you use and what gender and colour you are. This is one such region where Asians (Srilankans, Indians and Pakistanis), Arabic (Turkish, Algerians and Moroccans), Africans (all over the continent) out number Chinese who outnumber the original Parisians and there are many more regions in Paris of this ratio.
Paris is no more a city where you would be safe walking the streets of Notre Dame, Basilique du Sacré-Coeur or Eiffel tower in the night. A walk with your love in these streets would have a romantic dream of many from the movies or the books. The reality is those years have gone by and Paris in the night is a scary. It is a city where in just 20 days of living I have seen more crimes than 20 years in my life – cuts, snatches, knifes and even the GUNS.
GREY city it is! And I would now really understand why the true Parisians are reluctant to Internationalise. All the people who have touched their city, their heart have polluted and corrupted the city and I would not be wrong in saying, have de-grown the Aura of Paris. The number of illegal residents out here would make up the numbers of big Europe cities. Attacked and outnumbered by the residents from other countries who now call themselves the “Parisians” with properties and rights to live in this country, I sympathise with true Parisians. If ever the French decide to clean this mess from the CITY of DREAMS, which is highly unlikely because of the corruption that is in the system, I would definitely support the move, hands down. It needs it AURA back otherwise PARIS shall be lost.

Au Revoir


Old faces must move as they have distances to cover
New faces will give longevity to this MSCPM River
Good bye is sad, recollecting the past
Goodbye is hard, memories are cast
From miles we came flying
Enjoyed togetherness with playing
Time flew bye, the year elapsed
Time for goodbye, Moments will be cherished
My hearty wishes to the hunters
Pray for merriness around us the punters
Farewell is beautiful, a glimpse into the future
Farewell is wonderful, it sets for adventure

HAT

The hats we wear are many

some not worth a penny, some sweet as honey,

some spreading smiles, some covering stormy miles,

The hats we wear are many

Other night,

wind and lust conspired

taking the dear one down the drain

breeze and silence whispered

initially telling my dear one's pain

and then,

signaling a new start, knowing your craft

wishing you luck, bags of luck

Friend remember, the hat we wear are many
