Somewhere I Belong

There is a search or a longing you may call…for greener fields and bluer skies

Where people show love, not authority

Where there is room for understanding and kindness but none for unreasonable-ness

Where acceptance exists above the expectations

Where sincerity is acknowledged and even the effort counts

Where gestures show you care alike, to those known and unknown

A world of smiles and shared thoughts, a world of support when all is lost

A time of togetherness it shall bring and all void forgotten then

Where no one ever feels…like an angel with broken wings

The Pursuit of Happyness

The Pursuit of Happyness is a movie, a true story, based on Chris Gardner.

That "y" in happyness is because we want people to think about what makes "you" happy, what's the source of your happiness. - Chris Gardner

The movie is about the struggle one goes through in life to fulfill ones dreams. But you can only relate to it if you've ever gone through one of those phases in life..

Ever had dreams to achieve something? Aim..Ambition..Aspiration (little as it may be, important to you)

Ever had to struggled for it?

Ever prayed...desperately?

Did you hold on to that little bit of hope...wanting a better tomorrow?

With each passing day, did the dream seem to slip away from your hand and fall to the ground?

And as more days passed by did you feel its not only on the ground but someone mercilessly trampled on it?

Ever felt the loss?

Ever cried bitterly in total helplessness?

Ever wondered ..complained.. questioned...lived the misery?

Ever ever sat, totally blank, without any movement just tears rolling down ?

Ever looked up at the sky and longed for a miracle?

Ever reached a point thinking your dream might turn out to be your worst nightmare and feared you might fail...but tried hard to push the negative thoughts out of your head?

And when you fought your fears to find a better day, when the dark clouds suddenly vanished, the joy you didn't know how to express with a sudden sense of peace within...

You know you survived.

Desiderata

(This article was shared in class during a session on ethics.)

Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs for the world is full of trickery but let this not blind you to what a virtue there is, many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Do not feign affection neither be cynical about love for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of the youth.
Nurture strenght of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune, but do not disturb yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born out of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be and, whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

Unseen Efforts

Havn't we all at some point in our lives looked at another for what they have achieved and wished that we could also do something like that?
But is it so hard to see someone else successful?
I too in a subtle way at some point have been there (thankfully not anymore).. but what about the story on the other side?
You can see you can see the achievements, the benefits, the glory...but what you cant see is the pain, the efforts, the commitment to achieve.
In school and college, if you happened to study or even be seen with your head into some book you'd be termed as a "scholar"and for those who've been there know its not a very pleasant feeling. Atleast not for me, because I know im not one, Im an average student who puts in some efforts, believe me im not just being modest, I have never topped my class. But that in no way means I dont want to...I want to, someday...
Recently, I had a different kind of an experience -
He : So done with studying scholi ??
Me : why are you assuming im a "scholi" ??
He : Im not assuming, I know.
Me : Really? Like you know me in and out!! (being a lil sarcastic)
He : No, not that way but I knw..
Me : I am not a scholi, but I am trying to be....rather I am making efforts to be..nobodys born genius.
He : Yeah good one! (I still don't know what he meant by that)
Im not saying I've worked really hard and I truely deserve it and all that, but at the same time its not sheer luck..I, in my own way, am making little efforts to achieve my goals.
Next time you want something, dont just sigh or put someone down because you yourself are too lazy to work for it, just strive for it.
Let's learn to appreciate the other persons efforts too...maybe we can learn something from the other person...and that would be what my negotiations professor says "a win-win" deal.

Too confused to decide.

For any situation when I have found it difficult to take a decision and have looked for any advice I've most often got the "think about it and decide" or "listen to ur heart" or "do what you feel is right"..etc..which eventually doesnt help and im in the same confused state.

You can decide on something quickly if u think and feel in the same way about it but what if your mind says something and you feel something else.

Sometimes the mind prods you on to saying something to your friend or your parent. It tells you "Say whatever you think is right. You must say it and let the other person know how you feel. Just say it". And listening to your mind, you say whatever it was that you wished to say. After a few hours that very same mind tells you "you shouldn't have said all that, you know. You should have kept quiet. Now see how you have hurt the other person".

Do you see the games you mind plays with you? Hence, learn to manage you mind.

- An Excerpt from Mind it : Are you incharge of yourself by Dr. Meenakshi Shivram.

If I put myself in this situation my mind would have thought its the right thing to let the other person know...however I would only do it right away if it will help the other person in any way. I wont feel guilty even if the other person feels bad because I know the other person will benefit from it, infact I will try to do it in a way the other person understands my intentions.

But what is right according to me, maynot be right according to others.

We cannot keep everyone happy...sometimes on trying to be righteous also you end up hurting people because no two people will think alike.

When I say something to someone for my benefit, and the other person is hurt, I feel guilty for being selfish. I would avoid being in such a situation as much as i can but that is not possible everytime.

There may be a situation where I have to do the right thing, support someone and in the bargain hurt someone else/myself, it gets worse since although im listening to mind, I know deep down in my heart I want it the other way.

And sometimes it hurts even more because you think and feel the same way about something but you end up doing something else because of society, family, etc..

Mind : Thoughts that tell you what is right or wrong or logical, sometimes considers how you feel and how others feel.

Heart : Thoughts again but deeper and stronger, that doesn't always care for what is right or wrong, cares for wants/desires...on a deeper level cares for other peoples wants or desires. These thoughts directly control our feelings.

So basically its just thoughts.

When there are multiple thoughts you just perfer one over the other and make a choice.

When there are conflicting thoughts its gets confusing.

Mind Management :

Its about managing your thoughts. But it only says about steering away from negative thoughts and just having positive thoughts...and ways to achieve this. While this helps to a certain extent, I dont really agree that it solves the problem of confusion completely.

While there is a lot of self-help literature available to think good and live life better it doesn't really help lessen the confusion in the decision making process.

Eg: A little gurl wants to buy her brother a birthday gift, but she has just enough money to buy some food for her poor family..a gift for her brother or food for the family??

We take decisions depending on our priorities, we make mistakes, we learn.

No matter what goes on in our minds or what we feel..finally, our choices reflect the person we are/become.

Friend or Acquaintance ??

Yesterday was Friendship Day.

Back then:

There was a day in my life when I returned home from college with my hand full of bands and messages scribbled on.

My mother found it very amusing ...I told her thats how friendship day was celebrated.

And now:

She asked "ohh, no bands this time?"

Back then:

The whole day was spent at college..tying bands...to so many people...(making new friends)

And now:

Spent the day at home..didn't meet any of my "friends"..spoke to them over the phone.

Back then:

I thought everyone who tied me a friendship band or sent me a message was my friend...or had become my friend.

And now:

I know the difference between a friend and an acquaintance.

I received many messages yesterday...from friends who became acquaintances and from acquaintances who became friends.

My facebook/orkut profile says I have more than 100 friends.....I thought to myself....really??

To my acquaintances: Thank you for coming into my life...for teaching me..for making life a little easier at some point...and above all for not forgetting me.

To my friends: Thank you for being my friends.

The struggle for an admission

I have been trying to get an admission for mms/ post graduation in business management..and the whole process has been really frustrating.

First - the wait (the whole process takes almost 8 months), second - the fight for seats (too many students and few seats available) and third -the way the entire process is handled itself causes frustration..(lack of notifications to useless helplines to name a few reasons).

The quota system...I feel maybe there was a need for it at some point of time now its just misused/abused (except quota for the physically challenged). What position merit holds, I have no clue...(im talking about my merit here, consider above average). And the rich get seats, influence also works, the rest have to struggle...

Belonging to a minority community, I had a chance too, but didn't apply for the quota reserved seats. Honestly, I just thought I didn't need a quota seat, thought I will get a seat on the basis of my merit...in a better college.

But I strongly believe we do get another chance... I believe everything happens for a reason. I have got another chance...my last chance (atleast for this year)..I am waiting.

Blog Makeover

I came across a blog and really liked the look of it.

And then when I saw my blog again, I found it very plain and boring in comparison.

I searched for a few templates from my dashboard but didn't find anything interesting...

I searched on the internet and found many fancy and some not so fancy templates but there was nothing I really liked.

This is my blog..how can I put something I don't really really like..

When I finally found something I liked...I couldn't upload it.

After breaking my head over modifying the code for almost an hour, I gave up.

Coding has never been my cup of tea..so I left it at that.

I saw the template on the site again and I liked the picture more than anything.

So I took the picture link from the code, modified it a lil and uploaded it here.

Since the colours of my blog were not going well with the pic, I changed that too, as per the colours of the template I wanted.

After the makeover...I am very pleased with the new look.

Change is refreshing. :)

That Empty Feeling..

Sitting silently in a corner..on my own..not knowing what to do or where to go...
Nothing seems to matter anymore. A feeling of sadness grips me. A feeling of helplessness follows.

Staring into the open space..longing for a miracle..
Little changes can make life seem so different...n what a difference it has made!

So engrossed in my thoughts oblivious of everything around...nothing seems to exist anymore.
A void state..a blank mind.

With a little tear in my eye...I say a silent prayer.

Happy Realization !!

It was the first day after the summer vacations and I was having a talk with a group of children at the center where I teach. I was talking to them the about their "goals" for the next academic year. And as I was talking, I realized something common between us. 

We knew about our goals, we knew what we wanted, we had a desire to achieve, we knew what was required to achieve it, but we didn't have a plan - A well defined approach to achieve our goals. 

Understanding what is required of us to achieve the goal is important but equally important is deciding how are we going to strive to achieve it and to constantly remind ourselves of our commitment we make to ourselves to achieve our goal.

I looked back at my life and realized that whatever I achieved is because I liked doing it..I really wanted it..I was willing to put in my best for it..and I had a proper approach to achieve it.

Just that I didn't realize it all this time, but now its crystal clear.

Seasons in the Sun

As a child I used to eagerly wait for holidays. Summer holidays...Diwali holidays...Christmas holidays. Summer holidays were prefered because its longer plus the academic year ends so no studying till June.

I remember, every year, on the last day of my exams, after I came home from school, my mother or my grandmother used to take me to my cousins place. My bag was packed and ready, before I even got back from school and after quick lunch (so excited that vacations have begun) off to my cousins place.
Every vacation that I can remember, I have spent at my cousins place. I loved to go there. Firstly, since there were very few children in my building (maybe 3 including me)
and no girls around my age whereas at my cousins place there were so many kids (complex like building with many wings..and many many children) And I had my cousin. Being the only child, I liked being around my cousin and imitating her ways (yeah she is elder).

Playing games, from house house..teacher teacher to hide and seek, red letter and sakli (to name a few), the teams ..whos on whos side if any fight takes place..the "i'll tell my mother.. go tell im not scared", fighting on why it always has to be my dine and treatening not to play sensing someones cheating, fighting for whos chance it is to ride the cycle..who has taken how many rounds, discovering some weird shaped stone and spreading weird stories about it, running
around in rubber bata slippers and poking the strap into the hole each time the strap came off while running during a game.

After some years things changed...we were in secondary..the girls wouldn't play with boys, the boys wouldnt play with girls...the boys played football or cricket, the girls just hung around the building corners..talking (about boys..girls...fashion....anything).
Then, in college we were too busy meeting college friends and going for movies, shopping...the playground was taken by the kiddies.

Now everyones grown up..moved elsewhere...married..settled..lost touch with all the children I ran around with..now they are probably running after their children.

I think about that playground...I think about those times...I feel nostalgic.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun...but the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone.

So Shallow

Such coarse sensibilities, yet such nauseating lives.

- Cyrus Merchant.

We always give so much importance to ourselves ...but do we care about others in the same way?

Little things annoy us...we vent out our frustration on others...do we care if we've ruined another person's day.

We think of our convenience, even fight for it...but we don't bother to think that if life seems unfair to us it maybe the same or even worse for the other person.

We do things for others and expect so much in return...when we do not get anything from the same people we're so disappointed...we resolve not to do anything henceforth .

We want people to be there for us and understand us...are we there for them?..do we understand them?...we think we do, but do we really..without expecting anything in return??

We label people by the clothes they wear and by the people they talk to...we don't know what they are going through or why they do what they do...maybe its easier to label than to understand or to accept them for who they are.

We ask for opinions...yet we are not ready to accept the opinion we asked for, if it doesn't match with our opinion. We are so affected by criticism, we get offended so easily, we take things personally even if it wasn't meant that way.

We pray that we dont run into trouble, we want an easy life...all lessons may not be easy...when will we pray that we grow and understand the fullness of life. One setback and we are shattered...how fragile we are...dreaming big but lacking courage to fight for our dreams...we give up so easily...it only shows we don't deserve it.

We don't reach out to people, we always think of it as "going out of our way"...why don't we make it our way ??

We smile, we can see the smiles on peoples faces too...but if we bother to look in the eye, we'll see their tears...but our tears blur our sight.

I Live, I Learn

Life is like a book,
Every experience, a new chapter
Living is not enough, we must learn.
Learning is not enough, we must share.
When we share, we learn from others too.
But, most importantly, we must live, implementing what we have learnt.

Lowliness

I am ashamed to admit...I envy your life,
Nothing against you...I'm just feeling deprived.

The person I want to be

What has happened to me ? Why am I behaving differently? Why am I thinking differently? I am no longer the person who I used to be...

As time passes by, people change...but this is not how I want to be.
Once understanding, now unreasonable. From composed to impulsive...And it just doesn't end here.
I do not like this change.

I do not know how it happened. I do not know when it happened.
But I know that I want to change..again..for better.

I want to be the person I would like to describe myself as.

I want to be...the person I want to be.

Theres so much to do...

No this is not a complain by an extremly busy person. This is something I realised in one of my most idle moments.

Sometime back I found myself doing nothing. Literally. Initally I felt pretty relaxed..then followed the period of being lazy and finally boredom set in. I began complaining a lot. I was just sitting at home doing absolutely nothing. Friends were all busy with their own lives..and I dont like to go out alone.

Time passed at snails' pace. Facebook, Orkut and Gtalk actually reflected my state of having all the time in the world. But there was no end to boredom.

Then one day as I sat alone lost in my own thoughts I realised what a waste I was ! I didn't want it to be that way. I had to deal with this situation. I didn't want to sit and just complain how boring life is. I wanted to do something about it. I didn't want to waste this time..I knew I'll never get it back..and I wanted to live these moments instead of wasting them.

Friends suggested..learn salsa..learn swimming...do this ..do that... But I wasnt convinced. I didn't want to shell out a lot.

I took a pen and paper and wrote down all that I could do, all that had to be done but I didn't, all that I wished to do. By the time I finished writing I had a page full. It wasn't the case that I had nothing to do...I knew the cause ...I was too lazy, there were so many mundane things and I kept overlooking them, there were somethings I did not want to do just out of dislike.

I have begun working on my "to do list".

For all those who find themselves in a similar situation..and for those who have spare time..I have a few suggestions (you can have your own list though..)

- Read a book ..Read blogs..Read any thing of your interest (theres plenty of info on the net).

- Learn to cook..find simple receipes on the net and cook for your loved ones (chopping veggies ..kneading dough ..its such a stress buster! )

- Start cleaning...clean your cupboard..you'll find thing you are not using and wont use it in future..donate it!! (clothes..story books..anything that you don't need ..that can be used by someone else)

- Call up/mail a long lost friend...plan to meet up ( nostalgia..but its wonderful going back in time occasionally..and for all you know you might as well have a lil reunion)

- Make a list of what you wish to accomplish and how you will go about it (it can be anything..personal or professional goals..and when you feel most dejected read it..its really motivating)

- Recycle/ reuse..(search on the internet how you can recycle and reuse stuff available at home..you can challenge your creativity also).

- Life management!...get organized..chalk out a plan for yourself (it cud be about time management..resource management..personal development..anything...but stick to it!)

- You can also enroll yourself for any course, learn a sport, learn dancing, plan out a picnic for your family n friends, visit an elderly person, join an ngo.......

Pheeww ! Theres sooo much to do....

26.11.08 , Mumbai

On 26.11.08 Mumbai saw the face of terrorism. This has been one of the worst phases in the history of humanity.

Our real heroes : We look up to all those who got together to fight against the terrorists, those who died so that we might live in peace. Our real heroes - The National Security Guards (NSG), the Marine commandos (marcos), the Army jawans, the Mumbai Police, the Rapid Action Force (RAF), the fire brigade personnel, staff and people trapped in the hotels who showed exemplary courage and hospital staff who worked overtime nursing the wounded.

After 59 hours the ordeal was finally over, but the aftermath continues.

The people are furious. They want answers. Who is to be blamed?
The blame game has begun. We need to realise that this is not a time to blame anybody. We have learnt our lesson the hard way. Its time for some action.

Terrorism and India's internal security system :
I watched a video - http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=Eij5o7XizIA.
The statements made are disturbing. Pakistan's political leaders are of the opinion that the terror attack was due to India's inefficient security system. Comments made were provocative and naive.

I agree our internal security flaws have given them a chance to point fingers at us, but, terrorism is a different issue altogether. Even countries with good security systems, like USA and UK, have been under terrorists attacks.

Terrorism and our inefficient security system are issues India has to deal with simultaneously...(apart from dealing with many other issues like our corrupt politicians)

The comments made in the video show how prejudiced some Pakistanis are. We need to be bothered about such comments made by them...because it has a negative impact on the people of Pakistan (kindof instigating the crowd and misleading them). The world has known that Afganistan and Pakistan have been major breeding grounds for terrorists.
The people of Pakistan need to understand that we are against terrorism not against Pakistan...they're just unfortunate to find themselves on the same grounds. India and Pakistan need to get together..the world needs to get together to fight terrorism. It is sad that the political leaders of Pakistan do not seem to understand this rather misunderstand us. I dont just blame them, even people in India have certain misconceptions about this. We need clarify our stance on this issue.

Terrorism and Religion :
People tend to associate terrorism and religion only because barbaric acts are carried out in the name of religion.
People need to distinguish between religion and terrorism. It is incorrect to associate terrorism with the religion to which the terrorists belong to. Clearly, the people who carry out such acts are not religious..yet the innocent suffer because some tend to resent all people belonging to that particular religion.
In India, we have witnessed attacks on several religious groups. People need stop being biased and have a tolerant outlook towards prople of other faiths.
Those that carry out atrocities in the name of religion should be harshly dealt with, irrespective of the religion they belong to.

Politicians :
Corrupt to the core.
The attack brought out the wrath of the people towards the Indian politicians. Their anger is justified. It was embarassing to hear our politicians make such callous statements and act in such an insensitive manner.

There has been a unanimous outcry for want of better politicians. One must not forget these people were elected by us.
Some people have decided not to vote - they think of it as a "waste". This attitude must change. If there is anything we can do to bring about a change in the political system it is by casting our vote. I agree there is not one politician I can say I look up to.

These politicians are not going to change for the better..the apathy shown by our politicians will continue and we can sit back and talk about it for long - this should be done ..that should be done..this is not right..yet how many of us are willing to take the initiative?
People need to take initiatives..to bring about a change...we've had it for long..and now ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!

Mumbai does a ReWrite

I was returning home from work yesterday. On my way back, I passed my favourite eatery, I noticed there was something different about it. I realised that the huge "Mc Donalds's" signboard had been replaced with the one that had the name written in Devnagari script. Unaware of the fact, I assumed it was some kind of marketing strategy to appeal to the local market.

I admit, lately I haven't kept myself updated with the local news (read without local, cause these days I dont know whats happening anywhere for that matter!!)
Today, after I returned home from work, I was just relaxing with a cup of hot tea. I picked up the newpaper lying closeby. A title captured my attention "Signboard deadline ends today". Curiously, I started reading. After reading just a few lines I felt irritated.

This is what I read - " Fear and confusion gripped shopkeepers and businessmen across the capital on Wednesday, the eve of a municipal deadline to put up Marathi signboards, as Raj Thackeray's maharashtra Navnirmaan Sena, stepped up to enforce its rules" (The Indian Express, dated - August 28, 2008).

Yes, the media has its own style of writing to grab the reader attention. And it doesnt end there, they do it with words that make an emotional connection with the reader and sometimes end up blowing things out of proportion. But staying in Mumbai for the last 2 decades I know a little about the political party, I dont doubt what was written in the article. Ridiculous as the whole issue may be, I am not surprised!!
This, I thought was another move to restrict westernization, as most of their actions have always been for the same "cause"!!

I cant help wondering how people can give so much importance to silly things and make a big deal out of something I dont even classify as an "issue", while they take the liberty to turn a blind eye towards real issues.

Why not give the businessmen (and all those concerned) the right to display their signboards in any language(s) of their choice. Let it be upto the marketing/sales team to plan the stratergies to promote their business in any local market.
Asking them to have the signboard in Devanagari script is fine but why do away with English. Atleast 60% of Mumbai's population can read English and the remaining 40% who cant, trust me are smart enough to understand what is being sold in which shop. Irrespective of the signboard language, all this time the businesses were functioning. In the real sense it is the products and services and not the language of the signboard that promotes any business. Having the singboard in a local language is just to connect with the people.
After all this time, now, why is it such a big deal to if the signboards are just in English? Just as I am still wondering about the whole thing, I happen to see another column adjacent to this article.

Under the shops and Establishments Act, 1961, businesses that do not display their names in Devanagari script can be fined between Rs 1,000 and Rs 5,000.


This rule, however, does not mention the following :-
1. Treatening and forcing people to have signboards in Devnagari script.
2. The Devnagari script must be the boldest (in case the name is mentioned in other languages too).

A tiny percentage of businessmen are retaliating against this move.Some might say "whats the big deal...just add another language..finish it off..thats all".To those people, all I would like to ask is - how many times and how low are we going to bow down to their whims and fancies?

Its not about the fuss in displaying a signborad in the Devnagari Script. Its about :-
1. Giving so much importance to something that really doesnt matter while other issues are neglected.
2. Instilling fear among citizens...(heading towards dictatorship..ohh i think we have arrived there !!)

People should have freedom to choose if they wish to celebrate Valentine's Day or not.(If Teacher's day, children's day, Friendship day is all ok...then why not valentine's day)
We boast about being secular. Its our culture to live in peace and harmony with one another. It only shows how superficial all this is when "its campaign against north India migrants".
Instead of cribbing about "Bombay should be called Mumbai" or "why isnt there a statue of Shivaji at this crossroad"...
Wouldn't it be better if we focus on growth, welfare of the citizens and providing better civic aminities???

No wonder after all these years we are still a "developing nation" !

Innocence Attacked !

Wed July 25,2007 .The Times Of India, Front Page news...
'Day old baby found with 26 stab wounds'.

I read this article but i failed to reason out. If a baby gets dumped in a pile of garbage ...maybe the parents did not know that there are orphanages...but 26 stab wounds!!!
Maybe someone wanted to kill the baby for revenge against the parents or maybe the family/mother didnt want the baby whatever...nothing on earth can justify 26 stab wounds (rather even a single one!) on a day old baby...only a mentally ill person can do that.

By the grace of God, The little boy is alive!! 26 stab wounds could not accomplish what a single stab can! Thank you God for this miracle.

Shocking but true...
* November 2003, 'Borivli double murder'...ten month old is hung from a ceiling fan with the telephone chord.
* Neighbour rapes a year old girl.
* Lady burns her grandchild..calls it "an offering to God".

Everyday countless children face such atrocities. Little kids are eve-teased, molested, sodomised, raped, killed.
What a disgrace to the society that celebrates Childrens Day every year with so much hype!!
Children are defenceless...it is our responsibility to protect them and their rights as individuals.
And what are we doing about it...we talk about it for a while...condem the act...critisize the society...complain about the inefficient laws...then its all forgotten.

What if that child was you...!

Loving FRIEND

( i wrote this poem a few months back. Like they say its only during the difficult times that we come closer to God.)

When things go wrong
And sadness fills your heart
When you feel so helpless
'Coz your worlds falling apart

When you think life is unfair
And no one seems to care
When your troubles are so much
And with no one you can share

Just close your eyes and say a prayer
To ease your burdens God is always there
But there is one thing you should know
Faith in HIM, He wants you to show

Nevermind if you've messedup badly
Just apologize sincerely
And in His time He'll set everything right
But against temptations you'll have to fight

No matter what you're going through
Know that He has a plan for you
All your troubles will come to an end
Just tell Him about it..He's a very LOVING FRIEND !!
