A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED

A bondage that is so strong since my early childhood. He was my life savior and I will say he has been one of my best friends and companions ever. The one to whom I have talked the most in my life. He never got bored of my stupid talks and blabbering. Sometimes I just yell and scream at him but he still has maintained the calmness and preserved the coolness in him. As like I was the only son, he too was one. People used to make fun of us as we were loners in their perception but actually we were one body two souls. A little strange to hear but that was the fact. He was not normal by nature but he was so sweet. Whenever he is there with me, people would make fun of me for tagging him along. Despite of all these, never have I regretted his presence with me. Rather than getting pissed at the people who made fun, he asked me to talk less or rather not talk at sometimes. The whole credit of me being a good writer today goes to him. He made me write my thoughts and emotions that I wanted to tell and share it with anyone. He filled the vacuum space that existed in my loneliness with loads and loads of scriptures. The same people who did not like me because of his companionship once upon a point started liking my writings and poems without knowing that he is the core backbone behind all these.

Once I gained the confidence of expressing my thoughts, I started to speak out to people. The only time I forget him totally is when I’m singing. I totally lose myself and will have no idea about his presence or whereabouts. As days passed by, I started making more and more friends and turning into a total chatterbox and in parallel, my dear old friend started getting isolated from me with rare meet ups. Even then, he never missed important situations like my seminars, interviews and speeches. He ensured his presence strongly and filled my nostalgia with his tremendous influence. At one point of time, I betrayed him very badly when I had to choose between my career and friendship, I had to leave him at least for my future and my parent’s long time wish. The moment he left me, plates started turning around and my career took a jet flow. From thereafter, there was no looking back and everything was just zipping through the wind with a midas touch in my career. The only thing that I was missing was the challenge that he had given me to achieve things in my life. When he used to be there, both of us together have faced the challenges and successfully shattered the obstacles and reached the chequered flag with ease.

Though he was not as easy and normal to have him around as a friend, I never complained about him. He was the sign of my intelligence and sharpness of brain. Neither would anyone will get the boon of having such a friend along with them for so long and nor will anyone like a company of him for a long time unlike me. I owe you many of my skills and talents that I have acquired today, which are enjoyed by the people who mocked you once and people who does not even know about your presence anytime in my life.

The dear friend I was talking about all this while was none other than my STAMMERING that I had for almost 15-20 years with me :) Miss you :)

Thoughts redefined !!!

Too much of idleness in my mind has made me write and rewrite certain thoughts I felt within myself. Some of them might be stupid, few of them might be insane and many of them might even be crap - but if atleast one of them helps you make sense - I am happy for it !!! Enjoy the philosophy time !!! :)

Giving up for a stalemate or a tie is like spitting at yo own face for being incapable like your opponent.

The worst gamble you can ever take is on your self confidence.

Never let anyone know what you think, its like ripping off your mind nude.

Confidence & Arrogance differs by a whisker: If you think "I can do it", thats confidence, If you think "I can only do it", thats arrogance.

Never be a puppet, rather be a puppeteer, where you make the puppet dance to your tunes.

If its human to err, its godliness to forgive but just once, coz its stupid to repeat either of it one more time.

Empty vessels make more noise, but they grab the attention that even the filled ones never do.

All that glitters are not gold, but its never wrong to test it once.

Look before you leap, but do not keep on looking.

When there is a will, there is a way and If there's a way, there's destiny.

Well wishers make you live longer but your critics make you live stronger.

Opportunity knocks the door only once, but neva did someone say that was the last knock, so do not regret of missed opportunities.

Opportunity is like an illusion, it all depends upon how and what do you look into it.

"Untold love is like the unearthed coal - it doesn't become a diamond until its unearthed from deep within"

"Heart and mind are synonymously distinctive things - one makes you think - the other makes you feel - but the day when they both agree to each other - you find the meaning of your life"

"Feed a person - he will wish you long life - Give money to him - he will wish you health and wealth - Try educating a child - it will ever say your name even after your healthy and wealthy life that comes on its own"

"People who stammer are not deficient by anyway - rather they are too skilled enough to talk 10 times faster than a normal human - similar to the sound of a typewriter - which can type faster than normal writing but with a cluttered sound"
