But this time, Mumbaikars havebeen blessed to welcome the monsoon by June 3rd itself.... awesome respite fromthe hot summer!!! I love Indian monsoon !! Its quite interesting 2 observe this!! I am quite interested. I love nature... I like rainy season more...
The charming weather,the chilling atmosphere, and the lurking rain, all underlined the poeticdreaminess of that enchanting afternoon. Then came the long anticipated dropsof rain, that further enhanced the magic of that afternoon.

In my childhood I used to stay near coutrallam. In the farsouth, in Tirunelveli district, a deep recess of the Western Ghats laysCourtallam (also spelt Kutralam, Kurtalam), The Spa in the South. Courtallam isfamous for its season, which lasts from June to September. Thick clouds gatherand streaks of lighting flash across the sky. It is a rare and pleasantexperience to stroll in the "Charal" (meaning drizzle, also spelt as Saral)becoming neither wet nor dry. Thousands for the several falls, which clot thetown. a small place full of waterfalls duringrains. The place is famous for variety of trees planted, trekking, waterfallsand all-season . This is the place for those wanting to be in midst of nature with a lot of peace and tranquility.
When it isabout to rain, I undergo a strange kind of happiness, I start thinking aboutthe days, While going to school Ienjoy drizzle feel in my face is a pleasant experience. The skywas filled with moderately black clouds. Suddenly, it started to drizzle. Soon, itturned into a heavy downpour. I was thrilled, To stepped out to the house. Thecool raindrops caressed my face. The tree branches swayed, the leaves dancingto the tune of the falling rain. Clouds were busy moving and some of themdeposited themselves at the horizon. The sun hid behind the clouds feelinghappy for an unexpected holiday the clouds brought along. The melody of therain, mixed with the noises of the surroundings, infused a new vigor in me. Ilooked at the moving clouds. While moving, the clouds drew some figures on thewhite canvas of the sky. I still tried to put the artistic scene and my racingthoughts into words.(When the sky and the clouds are fighting the cloud is sheddingtears that is rain)
In Mumbai Rains were socommon sometimes we got fed up with it. Not only the smart electricity boardfound it as a wonderful reason to save electricity the moment the first droptouched the ground, they were careful enough to keep the receiver of theirphone away from cradle to avoid enquiry calls. Rains bring havoc especiallyaround roads. Roads seem to brutally dissect the once pristine, tree-cladslopes. Then there is the ever-present threat of sprays from other vehicles Themoment it rains, there are traffic jams, power cuts, water logging and whatnot...these things make us wary of rain. I love the way the rains wash away somany things. Worries about the water supply, the dust and grime from thecityscape, all of them get washed away in the downpour.
Otherwise, rain is welcome and Ialways welcome it with open hands :) I just love the rains.... Then again theirremain other pleasures: cozying up inbed with a good book, steaming coffee and hot delicious pakodas. like getting drenched,watching the raindrops fall,eating icecream cone when its raining .hehe,splashing water when roads get slushy,..(though my age &profession doesn"tallow me to do it now-a-days) making paperboats...it so much fun. here eventhe rains can hold a memorable time to me...
Rainkissed roads, rainbows in raindrops and puddles, mist that leads you to a walkin the clouds and a beckoning green that comforts in its lushness and purity. Ilove the rain. Rain falls on my window.Rain on the ground.Rain in the sky.Rainall around. Rain up my nose. Rain frizzing up my hair. The sound of rain alwayschasing me smiling my smile. While most people find rainy days gloomy, I just love the monsoon rains! and again I became a child! The rain I love the rain.
At a certain moment doctor will determine that my brain hasceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped
When that happens doesn’t call this my “Death Bed”. Call it my “Bed ofLife “and let my body be used by others to lead fuller lives.
Give my eyes to a man who has never seen sunrise, a baby’s face
or love in the eyesof a woman.
Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothingbut endless of pain.
Give my blood to teenager, who has been pulled from thewreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play
Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to existfrom week to week.
Take my bones, every muscles every fiber and every nervefrom my body to find a way to make a crippled child walk.
Explore every corner of my brain take my cells and let them grow so that somebody a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window
Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the windsto help the flowers grow
If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknessand my prejudice against my fellowman
Give my sins to the devil and give my soul to God
If you do what I have asked
I WILL LIVE …………… FOREVER

The title implies that life is a gift that we can make use of even at the time of our death for the benefit of others. By donating our organs we can help other people live or lead better lives.
Organ transplantation is one of the more recent advances inpatient care. Today transplants save thousands of lives and transform thequality of life of many more. Unfortunately, an even greater number of patientsdie, or continue to receive expensive replacement therapy such as renaldialysis, because of an insufficient supply of donated organs.
Each organ and tissue donor saves or improves the lives ofas many as 50 people. Giving the "Gift of Life" may lighten the griefof the donor"s own family. Many donor families say that knowing other liveshave been saved helps them cope with their tragic loss.
More and more people receive transplants every yearand more people are living longer after transplants.
A patient’s life can thus change forever, thanks to the practice of deceased or cadaver donations of organs.
Medical teams, hospitals, laboratories, computer networks,and transportation systems work 24 hours a day to match donated organs withpeople who need them. Learn about the transplantation process, and the role ofa key participant-the organ donor.
According to me, the most valuable donation is that which can save the life of another person. In this respect , blood donation is the most valuable donation.
I would like to donate my eyes after my death. So thatsomeone without sight will have the privilege of seeing.
"There is nolovelier way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to thosein the dark."
Life is a weird thing, we have few relationships that are important to us and we fail to maintain them the way we would like - without PAIN, without TEARS, without DISAPPOINTMENTS... Relationships or Friendship is all about hurting, being hurt, forgiving, forgetting, being hurt again, As humans we have an infinite capacity to hurt one another — sometimes intentionally, but sometimes accidentally, through carelessness or circumstance There are number of instances in life when people hurt us, either with their actions or with their words.
What would you do if you feel cheated, ignored or neglected by your partner in any relationship whether it be romance, friendship or marriage life? You feel betrayed, angry, hurt, and frustrated, along with a myriad of other feelings. We’ve all got painful memories and emotions tucked away deep inside. When I was young, our own relatives betrayed my family. I was very emotionally hurt And often I found it hard to forgive others... You have intense anger in your heart for someone who hurt you recently or long ago.
I have hoping that people I love and care about really do feel they are important. Because if I fail I might lose them once and forever. And that is something I would never be able to bear because these people are my strength and my life. So, I hold every person close to my heart. Sometimes I get emotional, I have been hurt by someone very close to me. The words can not explain what I feel .But I am broken inside. I knew something would go wrong... Not waiting to be hurt again I hurt myself in the most unjust way. Not wanting to be hurt again I direct the pain. To strike me in the most painful way. and I know that I need to forgive that person, but it is easier said than done.
Keeping in mind what my parents always said. It is about 'Forgive and Forget' Which I practice very perfect... I never keep hatred in my chest, because it will cause me a burden of stress. It is like an acid which is strong and erosive, It will turn my mind violent and aggressive. When I forget, I forget it totally complete, Like clicking the mouse on the button 'DELETE'
I encourage you to read Tyler's thoughts here:
When you haven't forgiven those who've hurt you, you turn your back against your future. When you do forgive, you start walking forward.
Is it possible to truly forgive all transgressions?
How do you forgive someone who physically abused you when you were a child?
How do you forgive someone who raped you or a family member?
How do you forgive someone who spread vicious and humiliating lies about you?
How do you forgive parents who put their own needs and egos way ahead of your basic emotional needs as a child?
How do you forgive a parent who left you when you were young?
How do you forgive someone who has sucked the joy out of your life through his or her negative, hypocritical, phony, lazy, selfish, and ill-tempered behavior over 30 years of marriage?
I really don't have a clue how you can truly forgive others for any of the above. Maybe complete forgiveness is impossible in some cases. You don't have to make it known to the people who hurt you that you have forgiven them. Refusing to forgive and forget and seeking vengeance makes you look petty and small.
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." -Mahatma Ghandi - Simply stated, the ability to forgive is a sign of strength.
Unless we learn how to forget past sins, we will always live in that past. Bitterness or guilt will continue to eat away at us like a cancer. Forgive and be forgiven. And then forget it. This is the secret of spiritual health. Keep short accounts with God and men.
'Forgive and Forget' is an easy task, I don't need anybody to ask. For....giving, I give love, sympathy and understanding. For....getting, I get peace of mind as a GOD's blessing. Not only peace but also pleasure in my mind..
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all others were including Love.
One day it announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to preserve until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place for you."
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place for you."
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh...Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she even forgot to ask the elder her name.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Love realizing how much she owed the elder asked knowledge, another elder, "who helped me?"
"It was time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. “But why did Time help me?".
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."
Love is understanding, Love is compromise, Love is generosity,Love does not discriminate, Love is forgiveness, and Love is pure and sacred,Love is truth and everything good. Love is selfless and undemanding; giving and not expecting in return.Love is Service, Love is Sacrifice.
Love While You Live
Realize things before it’s too late. Have lots of friends before you are alone. Accept things rather than deny them. Love people before you loose them.
Life comes just once. Love it while you live it.
If we cannot love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we cannot see? Mother Teresa
Nothing is permanent in life. Life has its own shadows black in the night,Brightness in the day...It is a continual challenge.. Just take life as it comes and enjoy every bit of it… Each moment in life is a phase.Face them with a smile J,good or bad.Life is beautiful if you look at itwitha smile JJ
Happiness shows best when you put that smile on your face! A smile can make anyone happy.
A smile, it is said, is a curve which can put things straight. Costing nothing and conveying so much, it is one of the best things in this world which are for free
Frown and you frown alone," it is sometimes said, "but smile and the whole world smiles with you." The whole world? That may be a stretch, but a smile can be incredibly powerful. Wearing a warm smile can draw people to you, put others at ease, and even cheer you up.
Living in the favorable and unfavorable situation is called Part of living. But, smiling in all those situations is called Art of living.
A smile…is sweet
A smile ….always keeps one happy.
A smile… can improve one face value
A smile …does not cast anything
A smile… can change a person’s mood

A sweet smile can act like a pill.

Smile because of hope left in life
Smile is a gift by God, given to you! ! !
Always take a moment to smile. It makes people wonder what you are up to . Life can give you a hundred reasons to cry but you can give life a thousand reasons to smile. My Lips curve into a smile …forso many reasons.. Few are here…
Love of Family, Love of Friends… ;)
My kids laughing (nothing beats a hearty kid laugh)
Spending time doing crazy things with my friends
Staying up all night with my best friends.
When an old friend suddenly turns up home
Innocence of children
Childhood memories.
When someone truly understands.
Small thrills of life.
A hot cup of coffee in the early morning
Taking bubble baths.
Singing as if no one could hear you.
Laughing.
When I listen Music, my lips curves..
Exploring new places
A sincere compliment
The different colors in the rainbow of life.
Seeing the beautiful fall colors on the trees
Swinging in the park as high as I can.
Sunny days with nice cool breeze
Watching the sunset and the moon rise.
. Enjoying the beautiful mountains.
Eatingfavorite icecream on a hot summer day
Catching a snowflake on my tongue.
Dancing in the rain.
Conquering your biggest fear.
Watching the waves crash into the sand.
Spending a day in shopping.
Looking forward to a future together
Holidays!
Feeling warm on a cold winter night
Smile on a loved one's face when they open what I have gifted.
Satisfaction of having learnt something new.
Surprise gifts!
Seeing others happy.
everyone to make them smile as well. We seem to have forgotten that smile costs nothing. We are such a miser when it comes to spending smile.
Making another smile.
Smiling just like that... need to be a reason every time.??
In life too, we gain more marks by a cheerful smile and thereby expressing an agreeable face. A tremendous amount of goodwill is gained through this seemingly simple gesture.
Most important benefit of a smiling face is ease of relationship in family
