Love Is An Emotion of Strong Affection

To one whose name is written 

in the faint perfume

upon my neck

Your hands gently tend my landscape
with their caress

Each and every flower,
you gracefully bedeck
In the richest warmth
of your undress.

You move your morning breezes
into the darkness
of my night
Until I no longer know the season
or present year
Time is of no essence
within my sight
Of warmth or cold,
I have no fear.

To one whose name is written
on every single line
of my heart
In your ink flowing from the radiance
of our eternal sun
Your hands tend my landscape
in a world apart
Marked on a calendar
of none.

The cares of life, waft into silent pieces
as they come to light
When your morning breeze
moves
upon my flowers
Each one you tend with your hand’s sight
Forgets these cares
of ours.

To one whose name is written
in my eyes
as my master gardener
My flowers will always seek the ink
flowing from our sun
My landscape
will be your garden harbor
From your breezes,
I will never run.

If I KNEW

IF I KNEW
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

I wish I could go back in the past
Where I had you close to me
And never took it for granted
That you will always be there when I need you.

Missing you dearly
Papa

What do you think? Will cow urine drinks take off?

Cow urine the new taste sensation as India markets it as a soft drink

New taste sensation ... cow urine / Reuters

* India plans to launch cow urine drink
* Drink promotes ideology of Hindu-ness

JUST when you thought we were milking the cow for all it's worth, along comes a fresh idea: cow urine as a fizzy drink.

No, it's not a stunt. India's Hindu nationalist movement, the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), says the drink is in the final stages of development.

The Times reports head of the department Om Prakash as saying the drink - called "gau jal", or "cow water" - in Sanskrit was undergoing laboratory tests and would be launched "very soon, maybe by the end of this year".

"Don't worry, it won't smell like urine and will be tasty too," he told The Times. "Its USP will be that it's going to be very healthy. It won't be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins."

The Times reports the drink is the latest attempt to cleanse India of foreign influence and promote its ideology of Hindutva, or Hindu-ness.

My One and only LOVE

There are just so many words
But I can't find one that's perfectly true.
I have said lots of I love you's
Have given you lots of kisses and hugs
I have given you my all
But still those are just not enough.

You're the only one I desire
You're the only one in my heart
Through good and bad
To my one and only love
That no one will ever compare

Take this simple vow
Let this be my devotion forever.
I love you and I will never leave you
No matter what happens I'll always be true
Though times may be rough
and days may be tough
I'll stick with you through and through
until the next life...

I'm thinking about you again and again

And I'm thinking about you again and again
I'm thinking if you were here beside me
I guarantee...
You'll make me happy with your smile
You'll make me warm with your hug
You'll make me beautiful with your kiss
You'll make me strong with your words
And the most important thing...
I will not feel lonely like this
I really missing you, my Janom
Love you more each day
Because you really know whatever I want
Because you really know whatever I need
You really know about me
And you really understanding me
My dear, I LOVE YOU

Strength of a Man and Beauty of a Woman..!

Strength of a Man

The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders.
It is seen in the width of his arms that encircle you.
The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice.
It is in the gentle words he whispers.
The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has.
It is how good a buddy he is with his kids.
The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.
It is in how respected he is at home.
The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits..
It is in how tender he touches.
The strength of a man isn't how many women he's Loved by.
It is in can he be true to one woman.
The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.
It is in the burdens he can understand and overcome.

Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman
Must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman
Is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
The beauty of a woman
With passing years-only grows.

Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman,
but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man

Love Happens Only Once....
Rest Is Just Life..

When a girl...

When a GIRL is quiet, Millions of things are running in her mind.
When a GIRL is not arguing,She is thinking deeply.
When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions, She is wondering how long you will be around.
When a GIRL answers "i'm fine" after a few seconds, She is not at all fine.
When a GIRL stares at you, She is wondering why you are lying.
When a GIRL says I love you, She means it.
When a GIRL says "i miss you", No one in this world can miss you more than her.
I MISS U

I've learn't
that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

True

A dear brother has written his heart out for the girl he loves so much... you and I will know how he feel through this poem, hope one day his girl realises it too....wish you well with all the faith...

Time passes by as I watch you walk away

Finger by finger we are losing grasp

Pictures frozen in time are becoming clearer

The tears start to express what I cannot say

You have turned your back to me forever

I have been dying inside little by little

Going out of my mind in endless circles

Falling faster barely breathing

I’m half the man I thought I would be

Cause I lost a soul mate

You put me on the shelf and found somebody else

I never thought that you would ever do that

Said that you love me, said that you would never leave me

Maybe I just heard you wrong

Or maybe you gave up too soon

Damaged, scarred, forsaken, betrayed and broken

I cannot bear love again, NEVER

Emptiness and darkness envelope me from everywhere

Loneliness and regret consume me, I'm unable to share

I'm alive and I'm still breathing

And yet, my heart seems to have stopped beating

Your betrayal to our love, I will never forget

The affection and care you once showed me, all gone

What choice do I have but to sit back and bleed?

My dreams are all battered and torn

My trust, my faith seems so meaningless now

I'm unable to take this pain anymore

It’s just so real

Yet my heart tells me to forgive

Yet my heart tells me to love you

To let go of the past, to let the love live

But a broken heart cannot think any good

It's probably reacting just the way it should

I fell so hard that I could never get up again

Love has left me empty handed

But God forbid this ever happens to you

My prayers and thoughts tell you'll come back to me

You'll beg for my love, beg for a chance to see

How you can make up for all you have done

How you can change all those lies to nothing, just fun

I am broken, Yes but I can still love

And now as I turn away from you

I wish that I hadn't been so true and sincere to you

Everything I did, I did it for you

But If I ever get one single wish

I wish I could do it all over again, just to be with you

Time will change nothing at all

The scars and wounds run so deep there will never heal

This pain is just so real that time cannot erase them

True love, that’s what it’s called

My love has been vanquished

My dreams shattered, my life destroyed

It hurts to know how I've been played with, used and toyed

But I’ll carry my broken heart with me wherever I go

And you’ll always be a part of it, just like a tattoo

Looking back at you, I will try to refrain

You might have bewitched me but I'm not falling for it ever again

I know how to love but I cannot feel it

I don’t know what a kiss is or a hug

I don’t know how it feels to hold someone warm

I watch the sunrise and the sunset by myself

I look around and no one sees me

Just a shadow of my mistakes, my own shadow haunting me

All that was left is gone away, there’s nothing left to prove

It all seemed so beautiful till I lost what I had once fought for and won

I poured my heart out to you, humbled myself

And made myself miserable, just for your happiness

But with Hope and Faith

My spirit is broken and every night I’m cold

Every night I dream and I hope

That I will be whole again

Some day I will no longer be alone, I no longer will cry at night, I pray

But love is just a dream that I want to have and never wake up

Maybe some day I will have that dream

Only fairytales have endings, I’m not the lucky ones

But you are….

Au Domo Ni Iko

This is TRUE.

Dengue Fever

Symptoms Symptoms of typical uncomplicated (classic) dengue usually start with fever within 4 to 7 days after you have been bitten by an infected mosquito and include High fever, up to 105ºF Severe headache Retro-orbital (behind the eye) pain Severe joint and muscle pain Nausea and vomiting Rash The rash may appear over most of your body 3 to 4 days after the fever begins, and then subsides after 1 to 2 days. You may get a second rash a few days later. Symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever include all of the symptoms of classic dengue plus Marked damage to blood and lymph vessels Bleeding from the nose, gums, or under the skin, causing purplish bruises This form of dengue disease can cause death. Symptoms of dengue shock syndrome--the most severe form of dengue disease--include all of the symptoms of classic dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever, plus Fluids leaking outside of blood vessels Massive bleeding Shock (very low blood pressure) This form of the disease usually occurs in children (sometimes adults) experiencing their second dengue infection. It is sometimes fatal, especially in children and young adults.

Prevention

The best way to prevent dengue virus infection is to take special precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Several dengue vaccines are being developed, but none is likely to be licensed by the Food and Drug Administration in the next few years.

When outdoors in an area where dengue fever has been found

• Use a mosquito repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus
• Dress in protective clothing—long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, and shoes

Because Aedes mosquitoes usually bite during the day, be sure to take precautions, especially during early morning hours before daybreak and in the late afternoon before dark.

Other precautions include

• Keeping unscreened windows and doors closed
• Keeping window and door screens repaired
• Getting rid of areas where mosquitoes breed, such as standing water in flower pots, containers, birdbaths, discarded tires, etc.

You may have seen the Fiji Times article stating that Medical authorities in Fiji have confirmed a national Dengue fever outbreak. As of last Friday, 53 suspected cases of Dengue had been reported throughout Fiji. More than four new cases are being reported each day.

It is important that you recognise possible symptoms you have Dengue and seek medical help early on. It's also important that we know of the possible diagnosis, as you can pass it on if bitten by a mosquito while having a fever, and that mosquito bites another person.

More about Dengue fever is available on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dengue_fever . For those of you that don't have Internet, here is the info:

NB: Do not take Aspirin.

Signs and symptoms
This infectious disease is manifested by a sudden onset of fever, with severe headache, muscle and joint pains (myalgias and arthralgias—severe pain gives it the name break-bone fever or bonecrusher disease) and rashes. The dengue rash is characteristically bright red petechiae and usually appears first on the lower limbs and the chest; in some patients, it spreads to cover most of the body. There may also be gastritis with some combination of associated abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

Other symptoms include

• fever;
• chills;
• constant headaches;
• bleeding from nose, mouth or gums;
• severe dizziness; and,
• loss of appetite.

Some cases develop much milder symptoms which can be misdiagnosed as influenza or other viral infection when no rash is present. Thus travelers from tropical areas may pass on dengue in their home countries inadvertently, having not been properly diagnosed at the height of their illness. Patients with dengue can pass on the infection only through mosquitoes or blood products and only while they are still febrile.

The classic dengue fever lasts about six to seven days, with a smaller peak of fever at the trailing end of the disease (the so-called "biphasic pattern"). Clinically, the platelet count will drop until the patient's temperature is normal.

Treatment
The mainstay of treatment is supportive therapy. Increased oral fluid intake is recommended to prevent dehydration. Supplementation with intravenous fluids may be necessary to prevent dehydration and significant concentration of the blood if the patient is unable to maintain oral intake. A platelet transfusion is indicated in rare cases if the platelet level drops significantly (below 20,000) or if there is significant bleeding.

The presence of melena may indicate internal gastrointestinal bleeding requiring platelet and/or red blood cell transfusion.

Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided as these drugs may worsen the bleeding tendency associated with some of these infections. Patients may receive paracetamol preparations to deal with these symptoms if dengue is suspected

Do We Love................?

I really have been moved by this incident... Its hard to believe that this can be so true in our everyday lives... The friends we chose are smart, beautiful, RICH, fashionable, and all the good things in them, whereas the poor, not-so-intellgents, not so beautiful, dark skinned, FAT are always looked down upon... WHY?

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I`m coming home, but I`ve a favor to ask. I have a friend I`d like to bring home with me." "Sure," they replied, "we`d love to meet him." "There`s something you should know," the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us." "I`m sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live." "No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us." "Son," said the father, "you don`t know what you`re asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can`t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He`ll find a way to live on his own." At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn`t know, their son had only one arm and one leg. The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don`t like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren`t as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.

love and life...

Thanks so much Moon for sharing such a lovely, beautiful piece of story and also an advice not to make a wrong decision which will lead to a hasty decision and eventually a bitter-heart between people who means a lot in your life but just because of some unimportant misunderstandings, you lose them. This story really shows the true meaning which life has to offer.

This story tells us something about LOVE & LIFE

My husband is S/W Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.

Two years of courtship and now, five years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.

I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings. I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband is my complete opposite; his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about LOVE.

One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.

"Why?" he asked, shocked.

"I am tired. There are no reasons for everything in the world!" I answered.

He kept silent the whole night, seemingly in deep thought. My feeling of disappointment only increased. Here was a man who was not able to even express his predicament, so what else could I expect from him?

And finally he asked me: "What can I do to change your mind?"

Somebody said it right... It's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him.

Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered: "Here is the question. If you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind.

Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death. Will you do it for me?"

He said: "I will give you your answer tomorrow...." My hopes just sank by listening to his response.

I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....

My dear, "I would not pick that flower for you, but....please allow me to explain the reasons further.....

This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.

"When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen. I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.

You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you.

You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city. I have to save my eyes to show you the way.

You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches every month. I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy.
You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.

You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes. I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand...and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the colour of the glow on your young face...

Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die ... "

My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting... and as I continue on reading... "Now, that you have finished reading my answer, and if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk...

I rushed to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread....Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...

That's LIFE, and LOVE. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.

Love shows up in all forms; even in very small and cheeky forms. It has never been a model. It could be the dullest and most boring form ...

Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands... AND THAT'S LIFE
Linda Hansworth

Three Secrets to Creating More Success

Set Can Do Goals

Set goals that move you toward successful results. People fail because they don’t know what they want or what they don’t want. Ask a friend, family member, or associate what they want in life. In most cases, they will pause and really think about what they want. Sometimes they can’t come up with an answer. Sometimes they may come up with a weak response. However, ask the following question, “What don’t you want in life?” and, in most situations, you will receive multiple, clear, and quick answers to your question. That’s because we concentrate on what we don’t want to happen instead of what we want to happen. In life, as in sports, we concentrate on “not losing” instead of concentrating how to “win.”

Set S-M-A-R-T-E-R (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely, Encouraging, Rewarding) goals that create a crystal clear roadmap for your success, and work to achieve these goals everyday.

Take Care of Your N-E-T-S
N-E-T-S stands for Network with Everyone Today for Success. Fill your NETS with positive people that will support your positive “can do” attitude. These people, while supporting your goals, will also help you pass roadblocks to achieve your goals. You will also make your NETS stronger by supporting their goals to create a mutually supportive situation.

Joy Fisher-Sykes always says, “Clean your NETS of people who have a “can’t do,” negative attitude, and who don’t support your quest to achieve your goals.” The more junk (negative people) in your NETS, the less room you have for more treasure (positive people). Take a close look at “friends,” family and co-workers and ask, “Do they support me and my “can do” attitude?” If they don’t, remove them from your NET. Keep your NET strong with positive people.

Concentrate on the Positive
Recent research shows that 75-80% of daily communication is negative. This would include negative self-talk, conversations with others, or the media (TV, radio, the internet, etc.).

Take back control of your mind and be responsible for your “can do” attitude. You can start with the following:

Concentrate on self-talk with positive solutions
Start your mornings with meditation. Concentrate on positive thoughts with positive results. Visualize, involving as many senses as possible, to intensify the visualization and make it real for you. Ask, “What does your success feel, look, sound, and taste like?” Be aware of negative self-talk, and replace it with positive self-talk.

Control the Communication
If it is a conversation, reframe the negative conversation into a more positive conversation. If someone is complaining endlessly, say, “Mike, I hear what you are saying. What solutions to you see to this problem?”

If the media is negative, tune it out or turn it off.

You can always walk away. You have that right.

Walk the Talk
Be consistent in your behavior, and act on your “can do” attitude.
