STRIKING THE RIGHT BALANCE.........

Hmmm.....ever seen the vegetable wallah weighing out vegetables.......u stand there patiently waiting for the pan to stop moving up and down......... the way he tries to get that 1kg tomato just right??Well our lives a little like that ....dont u think so??? the way we are always trying to get that equilibrium........its like adjusting that 1 small tomato into the weighing pan to get ur 1kilo........not more not less.....
When we actually start thinking abour our lives ....thats when we realise that life is not always in balance..........sometimes its bobbing up and down.At one point you may be at one of the peaks of your life.......during othertimes you may be in a pit.But without these ups and downs our lives would have been pretty boring.So i guess life is about striking the right balance.Or atleast trying to....

SEND OFF HUNGAMA!!!

This was the day when we were deciding wat to do for our send off party.As a tradition ,our juniors would throw a party for us.But we would also be required to do something ,like a small dance or song or anything for that matter.So all the 10th standard students put their thinking caps on and well thought(uh...ofcourse!).So we first thought that we would dance for a popular song during that time.But the idea did not sound radical enough,so it was dropped.Then someone thought of singing a song ........ it sounded good but we wanted to do something original and not sing a song which would be as it is blaring from all possible directions.Well,then one of them thought of a wonderful idea......"why dont we write a poem on our school and all the things we like about it??".This idea clicked with all the"committee members".So here goes the poem we wrote:
These words of gratitude I write

to thank all the teachers

who have been my guides

throughout my school life



It is because of these teachers

that I am confident today

to face all the challenges

that come my way



It is because of these teachers

that I m filled with morals

that make me proud to say

I am a Carmalite



And these are the teachers

who give me a reason

to stand here and say

"thank you dear teachers".

THINK ABOUT IT

How many of us actually care for things that dont really concern us???How many of us think of giving things to others without any hesitation.......and by giving things i dont mean materialistic things.Its all about giving your mental support rather than just physical.

I recently saw some things which made me realise that just being concerned with yourself,living your life,earning for yourself is not enough.Its always been just about me.It feels sad that we are incapable of thinking beyond ouselves....We may have the best intentions at heart but of wat use is this intention if nothing is being done to implement it???

I had been to an old age home recently and it hurts to see such old people being abondened by their own children ..... if u go near them u realise how eager they are to talk to u...they want to be cared .....they want to loved....they want to feel wanted.......thats when it hits you that you have to do something to make it better for them.......u can only talk to them and make them feel happy during the time that you spend with them .nothing more than that because it is beyond your reach to anything else for them...but that little time that you spend with them will make their day and yours too.

It is not jusy about old age homes.....even orphanages are the same or for that matter even cancer institutes are no better.It is hard to digest the fact that there are so many kids suffering from cancer.Such young hearts and so much to bear with .... U know ,it becomes so difficult to talk to suck kids because it feels unfair that they are suffeing so much while u enjoy your life.The twinkle that kids usually have in their eyes is lost in the eyes of such kids.They are too young to understand what is happening to them.

I realise all of us find our lives to be very colourful and important....but in the 24 hours that we spend thinking about ourselves......i guess we can spend minimum of 2 hours or so per week to make some else happy....who may not exactly be able to do it for themselves.......This is not about sacrifice or doing something good.....its just the basic thing that we are humans .The one thing seperating us from animals and the one thing that will save us from being animals too.....
