Married or Engaged or Future Married Guys: Give it a serious thought!!!

—Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are...

—Who is earning almost as much as you do...

—One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are..

—One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements...

—One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life...

—One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name ...

—One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment...

— One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you...

—One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities..Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise ...

—One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met...

—One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her...

—One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it...

— But not many guys understand this...Well... Give it a thought now!! —

Wise Quotes
Don’t let someone become a priority in your life,
When you are just an option in their life …
Relationships works best when they are balanced.


When we wake up this morning,
we have two simple choices.
Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.
Choice is yours…
We make them cry who care for us,
We cry for those who never care for us
And we care for those who will never cry for us
This is the truth of life, it’s strange but true
Once u realize this, it’s never too late to change
Time is like a river,
You cannot touch the same water twice
Because the flow that has passed will never pass again
Enjoy every moment of life
Don't compare yourself with anyone in this world.
If you do so, you are insulting yourself

MOtivational Story ,Amba-Haldar (Fresh Turmeric Pickle)

Excellence Is A Drive From "Inside"
A gentleman was once visiting a temple under construction. In the temple premises, he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he saw, just a few meters away, another identical idol was lying.
Surprised he asked the sculptor, “Do you need two statutes of the same idol”. “No” said the sculptor. “We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage”.
The gentleman examined the sculptor. No apparent damage was visible.
“Where is the damage” asked the gentleman.
“There is a scratch on the nose of the idol. Where are you going to keep the idol”.
“The sculptor replied that it will be installed on a pillar 20 feet high. When the idol will be 20 feet away from the eyes of the beholder, who is going to know that there is scratch on the nose?”
The gentleman asked.“The sculptor looked at the gentleman, smiled and said "God knows it and I know it ".
The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciates it or not. Excellence is a drive from “Inside” not “Outside".- Jasmine
