BLOSSOMS OF VALENTINE..

There are different ideas as to where or how the celebration of Valentine's Day began.
The Roman's celebrated a festival called Lupercalia on February 14. This festival was held to ward off the danger of wolves to their flocks and honored their God Lupercalia. This is one idea. The Christian Church had two Saints named Valentine and two other ideas center around them. The Roman Emperor, Claudius the II forbade young men to marry in 200 A.D. He believed single men made better soldiers, free of family concerns. A priest named Valentine disobeyed the Emperor and married couples in secret. The next Saint Valentine was a lover of children but, was imprisoned when he would not honor other gods. The children missed him and wrote messages of affection to him. They threw their notes through the bars of his cell. This may have been the beginning of exchanging messages. He was executed on February 14, 269 A.D. Pope Gelasius in 496 A.D. named February 14th, Valentine's Day, after him. The fourth idea concerning the celebration of Valentine's Day is based on the belief that birds or fowl pick their mates on February 14th. It was believed love birds in particular, chose this day to begin mating.

A Frenchman, Charles, Duke of Orleans is credited with writing the first Valentine.Frenchman celebrating Valentine's Day
He was captured by the English during the battle of Agincourt in 1415. On Valentine's Day he sent his wife a rhyming love letter from the tower of London, where he was imprisoned.

   

SIEZE THE MOMENT..

It always matters for timing and managing things according in life what its is all about siezing the moment. We have the ability to control time ,The sense of time is different for different people who lives intensely .It is important to love your work so that time doesn't hang heavy .

                                                                  most of us tell our self we have all time in the world for something wee want to do but never get down to it. It's wise a few who balance the work and life with time they only get down to realism  of various strata of living.

"There are two ways of looking at things , you can either feel that the Time is running out and feel  defeated or get a better understanding of things as you get older".

It is important to look forward and back but without getting bogged down ,don't brood or bask in past glory.

Overall we conclude we should not let the Time to slip through our fingers and create space for things that are important...

 

UNBURDEN YOURSELF OF EGO........

When a person carries baggage more than his capacity to carry weight ,his face becomes distorted in pain.

similar is the case when one's personality carries the heavy load of ego and self-interest.A constant conflict, a feeling of perpetual dissatisfaction and irritation with self and rest of world are some of the obvious outcomes.This creates a huge barrier between the person who are around him.He becomes unpleasant and emotionally volatile.we are aware of all this ,yet we do not make efforts to reduce the weight of the baggage.

The more selfish we are,higher the probability that we become complicated ,losing simplicity of mind.being materialistic, one loses the quality to appreciate,for example the beauty of nature ad daw to remain engrossed in it.

If each one of us pursues self-interest there can bee conflict as two objectives ca be contradictory to each other,leading to violence,

                                     However selfless action-The capacity to think beyond 'I, me,myself ' and to persue action beyond those limits --can reduce substantially the possibility of such conflicting outcomes.Selfless action is therefore ,an important way of attaining salvation in life..

Only selfless action can deliver peace and bliss hence, if we need peace in life let us not find faults with others ; we need to identify our own pitfalls first. If we cut down  on our heavy baggage of ego and self intrest a bit, it won't be difficult to realise the vastness withinus and find joy in life...

"LOVE"

we begin to grow and expand only when our concern for others outweighs the concern for ourselves,true love can only be unconditional and all encompassing,when we fall truely in love with ourselves and with the whole of the existence even with the least exception,so love should be by the heart and to the heart.

really love is another name of god the external,the ever present and the ever blissful.

Love is the ultimate truth beyond every lie which is immortal,it always triumphs over experiances and ages. .

love is more powerful than facts and is the only cure for grief.

Overall love is arihant,unleashed and stronger than knowledge.

It is in the hymn we sing,we find everything colored,joyed and pleasant in love.

All in this world appears to be alive and life seems very worthy of it's kind.

Love is a worship of almighty,pious as heavenly abode.its an innocence of a new born baby.

People fall in love not knowing why or how?it's so a special feeling that it does'nt requires much answers.

We just love no matter how stupid we become before anyone.....

DISHA..

बातों से मतलब नहीं सरता है
कुछ कर के दिखाना पड़ता  है
है जोशे बाजू तो कर्मठ बन
गंभीर होकर सबसे आगे तन
रख अपने पर यकीन की तुम कर सकती हो
बरबस होकर भी ज़माने से लार सकते हो 
किसने कहा तुझसे की तू कमजोर है 
मैं कहता हूँ की तेरे गुण का न कोई छोर  है 
कदम बस आगे बढ़ाना है 
क्यूंकि शिखर तक तुझको जाना है
आगे बढ़ते चलो वोही तेरी डगर है 
कुछ पाने का होर यही जीवन का सफ़र है 
मुर कर क्यूँ देखते हो अतीत को 
अतीत में गुजरा संसार है 
वर्तमान में ही आगे कर द्वार है 
अन्धकार में मत देखो भटक जाओगे
रोशिनी से चमक पाना सिख जाओगे
 बड़ते चलो जीवें यापन का सही श्रोत पाओगे.

LIFE.....

Alone in life how long one can go,
It needs someone along as a pro,
Not all has god's lovely grace,
only afew gets this covering trance,
Love is the way as peace after war,
Traces in successions,the sparkles in stars,
True for me,well i am not too behind,
All shall adore though never felt this kind..
