legends of your own mind- dedicated to the Romantics in you.

TO THE UNKNOWN MANY
I raise no glass to the man whose fame
has spread from coast to coast,
whose talents have served to place his name
with those men we honored most.

My toast is not for the hero who
has won deserved applause
who has done as the brave alone may do
In a daring, righteous cause.
I drink no health to the one whose voice
Mankind shall never forget,
Whose genius has made the world rejoice
And left it n her debt.

I raise my glass to the silent horde
Spread over the world expanse,
The unknown many who might have soared
But never had a chance.

suncreen -BazLuhrmann

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’97-Wear SunscreenIf I could offer you only one tip for the future,sunscreen would be it.The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experienceI will dispense this advice now.
-Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh nevermind,you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourselfand recall in a way you can’t grasp now, how much possibility lay before youand how fabulous you really looked,you are not as fat as you imagine.
-Don’t worry about the future, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
-Do one thing everyday that scares you
-Sing
-Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts,don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
-Floss
-Don’t waste your time on jealousy, sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind,the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
-Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults, if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
-Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
-Stretch
-Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life,the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
-Get plenty of calcium.
-Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
-Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t,Maybe you’ll divorce at 40,Maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversaryWhat ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
-Enjoy your body, use it every way you can, don’t be afraid of it,or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own
-Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
-Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
-Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
-Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
-Be nice to your siblings, they are the best link to your pastand the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
-Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on.Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get,the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
-Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard,Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
-Travel.
-Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander,you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were youngprices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
-Respect your elders.
-Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,Maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
-Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
-Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.Advice is a form of nostalgia,dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off,painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
-But trust me on the sunscreen

Just a thot, playing god

I find Philosophy very comforting...........i dont know what it is but that is the right word......power of words that it influences innumerable people. Power of thoughts of great men, their ideas are overwhelming.
somehow it takes away my lonliness. And at the same time i enjoy being alone with it!

Reading Shopoholic takes Manhattan

Reading 'Shopoholic takes Manhattan' was a different experience.......actually it is so far the 'most quickly read' book by me. i think 5-6 days, coz mostly book that thick takes pretty while for me. i m pretty slow, im also selective, so i can afford to be that slow... the reason that book was quick for me was because i was on a vacation to kerala and had nothing to do there and also the book is actually light and but so 'insightfull'......i loved it......its romantic comedy with such wise detailing...'God in the Gucci' elaborated. all that you think about.....the way you /mostly all women feel while shoping...its the truth. its like psycology of women while shopping.. all that you feel from shopping to charity to attending oprah or hosting somthing like that...all the great thoughts that you have are reduced to being just a SHOPOHOLIC. i think its a great book for any one attempting to know this side of women...(jus one tiny tiny side ok). its a kind of book that keeps u entertained throughout with a climax and offcourse a Happy ending!
