Lessons of life !!

The song "O Rahi re" from the movie Luck By Chance
Highlighting the lines which I feel are important in everyone's life.. 

jaag uthe hain raaste , o rahi tere vaaste
teri zindagi…tujhse har ghadi… aur har kadam… hai yeh poochti…
rahi dekh raha hai tu kya
har har disha… hai rastaa…
bol tera hai kaunsa rastaa
rahi re o rahi re
kisi ko nahi hai pata
rahi re o rahi re
kahaan ja raha hai bata

ik raasta kaanton ka hai
ik raasta phool ka
tujhpe hai kaun se tu raaste ko chune

ik raasta hai soch ka
ik raasta bhool ka
tujhpe hai tera dil ab kya kahe kya sune

hoga tera hi yeh faisla
hai sochna ya bhoolna
bol tera hai kaunsa rastaa

rahi re o rahi re
kisi ko nahi hai pata
o rahi re o rahi re
kahaan ja raha hai bata

aasaaniyaan mil sakti hain tujhko zamaane se
par zara yeh bata
jeena hai kya yun tujhe
aazaadiyaan tu paayega
khud ko hi paane se
phir bata koi dar
mehsoos ho kyun tujhe

hoga tera hi yeh faisla
aasaaniyaan …
aazaadiyaan …
bol tera hai kaunsa rastaa
rahi re o rahi re
kisi ko nahi hai pata
rahi re o rahi re
kahaan ja raha hai bata
rahi re o rahi re
kisi ko nahi hai pata
rahi re o rahi re
kahaan ja raha hai bata

Woman of Substance

Before my sister got married, both of us used to love to browse the matrimonial section of the sunday newspaper as a source of entertainment. We would read the posts and make fun of the some of them :D

So yesterday I thought of doing the same after a long time, but this time I found something very insipirational.
I saw a post in "Wanted Grooms" section . The post was something like this:
" 29 yr old girl, 5'7'', B.Com, good looking, HIV positive. Seeking a boy who is HIV positive...."


I suddenly felt very inspired. I imagined a spotlight on these few lines, which illuminated the sincerity, honesty and spirit for life this girl possesses.
She is telling the world that she is a normal girl who wants to have someone love her, understand her and protect her. First of all, she is brave enough to admit to the world that she is HIV positive.
Secondly, by wanting to marry someone who is HIV positive she is ensuring that the guy understands her and most importantly doesnt feel obliged to take care of her or feel that he's stuck with her.

Without even knowing her, I feel very proud of this girl and wish her the best in life :)
