"Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world."

Disneyland celebrated its 50th anniversary this time and I was there to witness it :).....there was a parade with all the disney characters and the songs...wow......
Celebrate good times C'mon......:D

“Celebrate love. It is the breath of your existence and the best of all reasons for living.”

Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America... with hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world." ~ Walt Disney









The Grinch Who Stole Christmas














There was a band playing and we all were dancing...I could take a chance to clikc Minnie ;)

“Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.”

Today, I really felt like thanking my those friends...who respect me and love me.
I had read a story in which this proverb was used...'You don't value sweetness until you taste the sourness'...so true..sometimes we just ignore many things in life ..just becoz we take things forgranted..so!!!
I have so many good friends across the world...when I have told them that I dont like smoking...they have really taken it to there heart and made sure that they quit..:)

“Without trust, words become the hollow sound of a wooden gong. With trust, words become life itself.”

Actually, why should they do? Its me who dont like...but that shouldnt be the convincing factor for those who smoke..or drink...as they might also have possible good reason to say why they do that...isnt it?

“Wise men put their trust in ideas and not in circumstances”

Somehow as a child, I have seen those ads everywhere dont smoke...its dangerous and with those skull and all those scarry pictures and stories...have always made me scarred and worried.

“You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough”

Whenever I see anyone smoking...I feel sad and pity...that how uneducated they are...believe me this am talking about our educated class....as in villages if people do smoke...there are some or the other govt. propositions and campaigns which will try to teach them and educate them. But what about people who are educated and well aware of it..:)

“Let this be my last word, that I trust in your love.”

But my discussion here is not on cigerrette or smoking...my discussion here was to basically thank my those friends..who have always respected my thought and have totally eradicated this habbit...I think thats a big time for me to say....

"Thank You - I love you all"

This pic (Cherry blossoms in Japan..), was sent to me by one of my colleague/guide/father-figure...:)...a very nice man.

“Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.” ~ Buddha

“Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.”

Today I feel great that am going to discuss about my favs..i.e. about poetry, music and Gulzar :) !

Poetry: the best words in the best order

Yes, I was so surprised to see this CD called ‘Heer – by Abida & presentation by Gulzar’ – Thank You Friend for bringing this from the library as….usually its those historic & amazing movies which has made me eager to quench my thirst of curiosity and anxiousness about everything that did happen in history.

“It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.” ~ Albert Einstein


I never knew that I could get these cd’s as well that too ghazals, sufi kalam wow….am a great fan of Abida Parveen….her voice has that intenseness which takes one to the depth of it and leaves them there lost…that’s exactly how I feel…and I often listen to her & that’s the reason her melodious voice is there in my Radio Blog. Try it out and am sure you wont regret it :). She is considered as the queen of Sufi mystical singing, but she is best with sufiana kalaam, be it in hindi, urdu, Punjabi, sindhi or saraiki.

“Music is the harmonious voice of creation; an echo of the invisible world.” ~ Giuseppe Mazzini



The songs in this Heer - album are written by Waris Shah – a great poet who is believed to be inspired by the pain of his own unfulfilled love.
I always felt sad about this aspect…that only a person can bring out the true essence by suffering? Why?....why can’t a person be as good as being in love & bringing those emotions of being in love, whether parting with love & then getting re-united….all these can bring the essence but still the one who suffers only know the true pain of it …I guess :), that’s the irony part of it….which often made me to think about all those great talented & expressive people.

“Suffering is the true cement of love” ~ Paul Sabatier

This album also describes the romance tragedy of Heer – Ranjha (the famous lovers known for there love & sacrifice from Punjab). It also depicts the true culture of Punjab and the fragrance of its authenticity.

“You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy” ~ John Calvin



Gulzar…the word itself says …. That’s how his voice is…one can feel the purity, clarity & the depth. I just love his voice….his writing…his poetry…his direction hehe yeah you can say am madly in love with…;)

"Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash". ~Leonard Cohen

A man who has written in Hindi, Urdu & Bengali – though not being his primary language still…that is something one call it getting inspired…

“Words are the voice of the heart”


Bengali culture has always inspired me a lot…and to a lot extent the credit goes to Rabindranath Tagore…

“No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive.” ~ MK Gandhi

......who has often tried to bring the essence of the Bengali culture in his writings and the movies that have been made on those stories written by him.

“Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.” ~ Jawaharlal Nehru

All I want to say is …its an amazing journey that I went through and felt like sharing it…the words are not yet over….the thoughts are just plundering and my hands want to keep on typing….I just get crazy about all this…I wish…one day I can only do these things in life and not bother about any thing else :) is that a dream plan…hehe should be isn’t it..? We all have dreams and we all try to aspire those …and I guess that’s what makes life keep on going…to reach to a goal…a goal created by ourselves ….:)

“An aspiration is a joy for ever, a possession as solid as a landed estate” ~ Robert Louis


I love this day…:) and loved to share it here :)

“There is no delight in owning anything unshared.”

“New Year's Day is every man's birthday.”

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”

Yes...guys its new year and am a bit late..:) ...reason...I was away from town ;)
Yes...I went to LA and on the new year's eve I was in Disneyland.
It came as a surprise....when I left for LA...it was a long drive...but music made the journey...pleasant :)

“Without music, life would be an error.”

Disneyland is something where everyone can enjoy...adults or kids...everyone has that smile of enjoyment.
I had a full day enjoyment and was ready for the next day....till 2:00 pm I had to leave Disney coz it was raining...and most of the fun filled rides were stopped...but it was worth being there :)

“Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.”

I should be writing another post on my trip to LA & Disneyland...;) as I feel there is so much to add..:D
But as the year was ending...on the eve...God gave everything along with my fav. rain :)....I enjoyed by watching a horror movie...SAW II & prior to that I saw Mr & Mrs Smith.

I really had my own time of enjoyment...where I got so many New Year wishes...:) and yes Manish...it was you...believe me you didnt disturb me at all :D....!!!!
So...let the year begin with happiness and towards a new era to begin...:)

“A new year is unfolding – like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within.”

A drink a day keeps the shrink away

Its celebration time isn't it? Everywhere I see people enjoying the festivities...irrespective of what cast, religion or creed...thats what it is called the fever ...in the air...its so contagious....that no one remains out of its catch ;)

“Enthusiasm is contagious. Be a carrier.”

One thing mostly I found...and that is....this picture will tell you everything :)

"Bread feeds the body, indeed, but flowers feed also the soul" ~The Koran

People were enjoying....giving gifts and were trying to be with there loved ones...whether they were near or far....communication isnt tough these days :)


"Marriage is like a phone call in the night: first the ring, and then you wake up"

So you wine,dine and shine on the phone like a star ;)

"They are not long,
the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while,
then closesWithin a dream"

Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling

The two aspects that I believe when its Christmas.... :)

"Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most."

&

"One of the nice things about Christmas is that you can make people forget the past with a present"

Merry Christmas and Happy Shopping ;)

“Spring being a tough act to follow, God created June.”

I was wondering...what is tough...to read ??? OR to make one read????

“For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks.”

Tough I guess its like the never ending story of the chicken and the egg :)
I really admire the teacher...the guru...the professor...Guide....and what not...the more we respect ..the more names we have...but ever thought how tough it would be???

"He who opens a school door, closes a prison" ~ Victor Hugo

I always think and that is what I plan...that I should end my retirement age by teaching poor needy kids...give my knowledge or I must say at least teach something that I have learn through out my life. When I go away from this world I want...to give something...there is always happiness in that.

“It's important to give it all you have while you have the chance.”

But when I see ...how tough and difficult it is to teach a kid..what can on think of many kids...in school...!!! Its a nightmare...I wonder...how these teachers do it. I am sure they have to give 100 marks for there patience and calmness :) but yes...some dont and that you see on the legs or face of the kid....may be as a mark or may be as tears :)

"Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theatre" ~ Gail Godwin

I loose my patience over something like this so quickly that...I wonder ...will I be able to teach any kid? Its a sincere effort that I want to make in life to teach someone...!!!

“All human wisdom is summed up in two words - wait and hope”

I always ran away from this profession coz...I always felt...a teacher has to learn life long :) to teach others ..hehe...so whenever I had the opportunity to play a role of a teacher...for some reason ...I always stood first and got first prize too ;)
Irony of it...I guess everyone knows now :D....all I could so far figure out is...if you are trying to teach a kid...and you dont loose your patience...and still rockin....then boy...I must tell you...you are doing a great job ;)
For me...patience is virtue...I have to learn it by heart ;) and believe me ...this quote really has taught me a million $$ worth lesson...I love it...:)
Keep smiling...always...;)

“The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.”
