Happy birthday kiddos

 Mau and Golu happy birthday and God bless.... You turn 1 year today....am writing a long letter to u... This letter has all that u mean to us and some learnings from life... 

Both of you have bought a lot of happiness and joy in our life... Seeing you both so joyful and happy makes me realise how blessed we are.... Both of you have superb grasping power and very active.... Both of you are very different in your activities and behaviour.... Nysa in mommy's child and Nyra mine.... Your dadi and nana and nani love you a lot.... Your dada also would be blessing both of you from heaven.... Missing him a lot today.... Chanda, nikhil, khushi, kavita, rakesh and aria are ur family... Never let go of them... No matter what.... 

Nysa has two front teeth now... She was the 1st one to crawl and is very fast and active... She copies me and nani doing yoga... She is attracted to mobile screen and we try to keep her away from it.... She does not like sweets much and is very fussy while eating like her dad.... She used to dance earlier but has now become shy.... Nyra being the stronger one also hits Nysa but Nysa being more agile runs away.... Nysa is also more giving of the two and has started sharing stuff.... She is too attached to her mom and troubles her a lot... She yells and shrieks when she sees her.... :)... She is right handed.... 

Nyra is the more quieter of the two... She is left handed and more attached to me and keeps on saying papa papa... She likes to go down more than Nysa... She has a habit of throwing stuff from the sofa and behind the bed... She has thrown everything from diapers to towels... Etc... Nyra has started standing up before Nysa and she also started sitting on her own before... She weighs more than Nysa and is more strong... Also she is less afraid then Nysa... Nysa today got afraid of Baloons.... Nyra did not.... She likes formula milk unlike Nysa... Also she eats better than Nysa and is not so fussy... But once she sees food she goes crazy.... Both of you like biscuits like Marie, Parle G.... She has more of a sweet tooth than Nysa... Also her voice and cry is louder than Nysa.... 

Nyra plz protect ur sister from others being the stronger one... Both of you plz stay together... Let go of small things in life... As being together is important.... United no one can stop both of u... But if ur seperate then things will be easier for others.... There is a reason God sent u together.... 

Some thoughts for of u kiddos...... My learnings from life... :) 

_------_--------------------++--+----------

Plz be happy and joyful daily... External circumstances are not in ur control but internal circumstances are within ur control... 

Stay true to ur self... Don't lie to urself.... Tats the worst thing you can do... 

Be ethical no matter what.... In the long term tats the only thing tat works... 

You will fall down and u will feel that it can't get worse than this but that is when the best things in life happen to u.... So work hard and look at the silver lining.... 

Take care of ur health.... Money and fame come and go with time but what stays with u is ur health.... 

Family comes first... Don't ignore family for anything in life... Work, money, happiness, sadness is all temporary but what stays with u is family.... 

Learn to give.. Both of u are blessed... Try to share ur blessings with others in need... 

Learn to respect people who work below u like subordinates, help, etc... How u treat people below u truly shows ur character.... 

Money is a means to an end and not an end in itself... Don't let money determine ur worth and happiness.... 

Be spiritual... Meditate and pray... Cuz tats the only thing tat will keep u sane.... 

Have passion in all u do...do whatever u do with 100% effort and love or else don't do it... 

Keep ur ego aside... Cuz once ego comes in a relationship then things fall apart...learn to let go.... 

Learn to compartmentalise... Office and work stays there and does not get home.... 

Spend time in developing ur hobbies... Cuz if ur hobby becomes ur job... There is nothing like it.... 

Learn daily... Don't stop... Cuz tats the only thing tat will help... And when u learn... Give ur 100% to ur guru... Never ever think that ur guru knows nothing.. And learn from everyone... I learn from u guys.... 

Fall in love.... Its important.... But remember falling in love is easy but staying in love is tat much more difficult.... 

Have faith in God.... He has a bigger plan... 

Learn to use ur words correctly.... Wounds heal but not harsh words... 

Do ur karma.... Leave rest to God.... 

Don't judge people.... Treat them as they are.... 

Listen to elders and wise... There is a reason they are elder and wise.... 

There is no work that is small or big... Ur ego is small or big... Nothing u do ever goes waste... Even sweeping the floor... 

Commit mistakes but do learn from them.... Failure is a bigger teacher than success... 

Make friends... But remember ur the average of 5 people u spend most of the time with... So be choosy.... 

Dont blame others for ur failures... The buck stops with u... 

Be selfish... If ur not happy... People around u cannot be happy.... 

Don't wash ur dirty linen in public... What happens in family... Stays within the family

Be optimistic.... People will pull down from ur goal but very few will push u to it... Remember ur goal and not the one who pull u down.... 

And lastly... There is only one life... Don't take it for granted.... Ur here for a reason... Find the reason...

पुराने इश्क़ की बात ही कुछ और होती है

एक हलकी झिझक आँखों में जैसे शर्म सी होती है
सांसों  में आहें,  दिल मे हलकी बेचैनी होती है
आज भी तेरे नाम के ज़िक्र पर आँखें हलकी नम होती है
पुराने इश्क़ की बात ही  कुछ और होती है

वो छत पे वो खिड़की पर बिना काम के बार बार आना
किसी बहाने से आके एक टूक तुझे देख जाना
पुरानी तस्वीर तेरी देख शर्म से गाल पे लाली होती है
पुराने इश्क़ की बात ही कुछ और होती है

वो क्लास में चोरी छुपे तुझे देखना
देखते हुए पकडे जाने पर इधर उधर मुंह फेरना
वो स्कूल कॉरिडोर में तुझे देख रास्ता बदल देना
इन बातों को याद कर चेहरे पर आज भी मीठी हसीं  होती है
पुराने इश्क़ की बात ही कुछ और होती है

वो तेरा फ़ोन नंबर पता करने के लिए कई पापड बेलना
तेरी गली के पास आना और तुझे आते देख दूर भाग जाना
बचपन याद कर आज भी धड़कन तेज होती है
पुराने इश्क़ की बात ही कुछ और होती है

इस रिश्ते का आज कोई  नाम ना सही पहचान ना सही
पर अक्सर बेनाम रिश्तों की  उम्र बहुत लम्बी होती है
पुराने इश्क़ की बात ही कुछ और होती है

ना कहा था तब  तुझसे कुछ
ना कह पाऊंगा आज भी तुझसे कुछ
कुछ बातें सिर्फ एहसासों से ही बयान होती है
पुराने इश्क की बात ही कुछ और होती है

Log kehte hain mohabbat phul jaise hoti hai

Log kehte hain mohabbat phul jaise hoti hai

Kadam ruk gaye hamare

Jab bazar main phoolon ko bikte hue dekha

Ishq ussi se karo jisme khamiyan ho

Ishq ussi se karo jisme khamiyan ho

Yeh khoobiyon se bhare chehre itrate bahut ha

Aksar tanhayeeon mein socha karta hun

Aksar tanhayeeon mein socha karta hun

Mann ko kured, khud ko dhoonda karta hun

Najane kahan kho gayi who parchayi, jise aaine mein dekha karta tha

Ab jo aata hai nazar, hai kiska hai woh asar

Yahi jaanne ki koshish kiya karta hun

"Umr bhar Ghalib bhool yahi karta raha

"Umr bhar Ghalib bhool yahi karta raha

Dhool chehre pe thi aur aaiynaa saaf karta raha"

Ek umr woh thi ki

Ek umr woh thi ki
Jadhoo pe bhi yakeen tha
Ek umr yeh hai ki
Hakeekat pe bhi shak hai

Letter written by President Obama to his daughters

Dear Malia and Sasha,

I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.

I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential-schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college-even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.

I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.

Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country-but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free-that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.

That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.

She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better-and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.

I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much-although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.

These are the things I want for you-to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.

I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.

Love, Dad

WISH WE HAD MORE POLITICIANS LIKE HIM IN INDIA

Ek umeed ke kiran ke sahare jiye ja raha hoon

Ek umeed ke kiran ke sahare jiye ja raha hoon
Gham ke asoo piye ja raha hoon

Naraz kyun hai mujhse zindagi
Bas yeh ek sawal kiye ja raha hoon

Halat badlenge
Us Chalave ke peeche jiye ja raha hoon

Girk uthna, Uth kar girne
Har jeet ke chakravuy main phase ja raha hoon

Daro mat,age bad
yeh apne man main bole ja raha hoon

Band darwase bhi khulenge
Yehi mehnat kiye ja raha hoon

Ek umeed ke kiran ke sahare jiye ja raha hoon
Gham ke asoo piye ja raha hoon
