I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

Mother Teresa

"The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved."
― Mother Teresa

lonely

The Person who tries to keep everyone happy and always care for everyone is the one who ends up being alone.

 

“STRANGE BUT TRUE.”

I don't know why.

Some people fill the gaps, but other people emphasize my loneliness."

Lonely

It is sad when someone you know become someone you knew,

When you can walk right past them like they were never a big part of your life. How you used to be able to talk for hours and how now, you can barely even look at them.

Ekla Chalo (Walk Alone)

What you are listening is this song played on Sarod by "Maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan".

Bangla script

যদি তোর ডাক শুনে কেউ না আসে তবে একলা চলো রে।
একলা চলো, একলা চলো, একলা চলো, একলা চলো রে॥
যদি কেউ কথা না কয়, ওরে ওরে অভাগা,
যদি সবাই থাকে মুখ ফিরায়ে সবাই করে ভয়
তবে পরান খুলে
তুই মুখ ফুটে তোর মনের কথা একলা বলো রে॥
যদি সবাই ফিরে যায়, ওরে ওরে অভাগা,
যদি গহন পথে যাবার কালে কেউ ফিরে না চায়
তবে পথের কাঁটা
তুই রক্তমাখা চরণতলে একলা দলো রে॥
যদি আলো না ধরে ওরে ওরে অভাগা,
যদি ঝড়-বাদলে আঁধার রাতে দুয়ার দেয় ঘরে-
তবে বজ্রানলে
আপন বুকের পাঁজর জ্বালিয়ে নিয়ে একলা জ্বলো রে।

तेरी आवाज़ पे कोई ना आये तो फिर चल अकेला रे

तेरी आवाज़ पे कोई ना आये तो फिर चल अकेला रे

यदि कोई भी ना बोले ओरे रे अभागे कोई भी ना बोले
यदि सभी मुख मोड़ रहे सब डरा करे

Translation into English

Here is the translation in prose of the Bengali original rendered by Rabindranath Tagore himself.

 

If they answer not to thy call walk alone

If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,

O thou unlucky one,

open thy mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,

O thou unlucky one,

trample the thorns under thy tread,

and along the blood-lined track travel alone.

If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,

O thou unlucky one,

with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart,

and let it burn alone.

History

This song was written by "Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore " in 1905 during India's struggle for Independence.

I dreamed a dream


This describes my life to the letter. I could not help but cry my eyes out.

 

 

I dreamed a dream in times gone by

When hope was high And life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

 

Then I was young and unafraid

And dreams were made and used and wasted,

There was no ransom to be paid 

No song unsung No wine untasted 

 

But the tigers come at night,

With their voices soft as thunder,

As they tear your hope apart 

And they turn your dream to shame 

 

He slept a summer by my side 

He filled my days with endless wonder 

He took my childhood in his stride 

But he was gone when autumn came 

 

And still I dream he'll come to me 

That we'll live the years together 

But there are dreams that cannot be 

And there are storms we cannot weather 

 

I had a dream my life would be 

So much different from this hell I'm living 

So different now from what it seemed 

Now life has killed The dream I dreamed.

Dating rules and deal-breakers for Men

I've always had one main rule when it comes to dating: “Never go out with someone who wouldn’t be able to cope with going camping.”

To clarify, that didn’t ever mean that a potential partner had to be some hard core rough-and-ready outdoorsy type of girl, nor did I expect them to have actually been camping before. It was more the idea that if a girl was utterly horrified at the notion of roughing it for a few days in a tent in the wilderness, away from her makeup/shoes/café, then she probably wasn’t the one for me.

Admittedly it’s a little ridiculous, but I reckon it’s as good a rule as any “must have a good sense of humour” cliché.

This was my litmus test – my testing of the waters to see what lurked beneath. And that’s largely what dating is – trying to suss out the other person, to see the real them and evaluate if that’s the person you want to spend your future with.

It made me start to think about what sort of dating rules or deal-breakers friends of mine had. By and large, I reckon our gender gets painted as being rather simplistic and unsophisticated when it comes to dating – that all we want is a pretty girl who doesn’t give us too much grief. But dig beneath the surface and get past the universal “must not be mental” clause and things tend to get a little more interesting and personal.

A friend whom I shall call Dave (because that’s his name) said he tended to wear a t-shirt to first dates that said “Haikus are easy, but sometimes they don’t make sense, refrigerator.” If his date didn’t get it (“What sort of flower is a haiku?”) then he was done.

“Must like the beach,” says another mate. Fair enough, he’s a surfer.

“I’d never trust someone that says they don’t like animals,” says another. Fair enough, I get that.

Others were spur-of-the-moment things. A colleague told me about a date with a girl who decided to eat an apple in the cinema, oblivious to the irritation of the cinema-goers around them. He didn’t call her again.

Some deal-breakers are a little more inexplicable. A mate woke up beside someone he’d been on a date with the night before (obviously a successful one) only to discover a harp in her room. He slipped out of the room and never looked back. “Harps are bigger than you think,” he said, by way of explanation.

And some rules are just a little strange.

One of my friends states that he’d never be able to go out with someone who wouldn’t, erm, break wind in front of him. “I’d rather she didn’t do it on the first date,” he clarified. “But if a girl I’ve been dating for a while couldn’t do that, then it’s a sign we’re not that comfortable together.” That makes a certain sense, I guess…

I wonder if people should be more upfront with their dating deal-breakers? It might save everyone a lot of time.

If nothing else, it might make for some entertaining first date conversation.

“So…. do you own a harp?”

Tasveer

तस्वीर तेरी दिल मेरा बहला न सकेगी
ये तेरी तरह मुझसे तो शर्मा न सकेगी

मैं बात करूँगा तो ये खामोश रहेगी
सीनेसे लगा लूँगा तो ये कुछ न कहेगी
आराम वो क्या देगी जो तदपा न सकेगी

यह अन्केहं हैं ठहरी हुई, चुंचल वोह निगाहें
यह हाथ हैं सहमे हुए, और मस्त वोह बाहें
पर्ची तो इंसान के काम आ न सकेगी.

इन होटों को फैअज़ मैं कुछ दे न सकूंगा
इस ज़ुल्फ़ को भी हाथ मैं में ले न सकूंगा
उलझी हुई रातों को सुलझ न सकेगी

तस्वीर तेरी दिल मेरा बहला न सकेगी

ना किसी कि आँख का नूर हूँ, ना किसी के दिल का करार हूँ
जो किसी के काम सके, मैं वो एक मुश्त--गुबार हूँ

मैं नहीं हूँ नाघ्मा--जान फ़ज़ा, कोई सुन के मुझ को करेगा क्या
मैं बारे बिरोग की हूँ सदा, मैं बारे दुखों की पुकार हूँ

मेरा रंग रूप बिगड़ गया, मेरा यार मुझ से बिचाद गया
जो चमन खिजान से उजर गया, मैं उसी की फसल--बहार हूँ

ना तो मैं किसी का हबीब हूँ, ना तो मैं किसी का रकीब हूँ,
जो बिगड़ गया वो नसीब हूँ, जो उजाड़ गया वो दयार हूँ.

पढ़े फातिहा कोई आए क्यूँ, कोई चार फूल चढ़ाए क्यूँ?
कोई आके शमा जलाए क्यूँ, मैं वो बेकसी का मज़ार हूँ

ना किसी कि आँख का नूर हूँ, ना किसी के दिल का करार हूँ
जो किसी के काम सके, मैं वो एक मुश्त-इ-गुबार हूँ

A Ghazal from Last Empror Bhadur Shah Zafar

लगता नहीं है जी मेरा उजड़े दयार में
किसकी बनी है अालम--नापायेदार में

बुलबुल को पासबाँ से सैयाद से गिला
क़िस्मत में क़ैद लिखी थी फ़स्ल--बहार में

इन हसरतों से कह दो कहीं और जा बसें
इतनी जगह कहाँ है दिल--दाग़दार में

इक शाख़--गुल पे बैठ के बुलबुल है शादमाँ
काँटे बिछा दिये हैं दिल--लालाज़ार में

उम्र--दराज़ माँगके लाए थे चार दिन
दो अारज़ू में कट गए, दो इन्तज़ार में

दिन ज़िन्दगी के ख़त्म हुए शाम हो गई
फैला के पाँव सोएँगे कुंज--मज़ार में

कितना है बदनसीबज़फ़रदफ़्न के लिए
दो गज़ ज़मीन भी मिली कू--यार में

Translation

My heart has no repose in this despoiled land
Who has ever felt fulfilled in this futile world?

The nightingale complains about neither the sentinel nor the hunter
Fate had decreed imprisonment as the harvest of spring

Tell these longings to go dwell elsewhere
What space is there for them in this besmirched heart?

Sitting on a branch of flowers, the nightingale rejoices
I have strewn thorns in the garden of my heart

I asked for a long life, I received four days
Two passed in desire, two in waiting.

The days of life are over, evening has fallen
I shall sleep, legs outstretched, in my tomb

How unfortunate is Zafar! For his burial
Not even two yards of land were to be had, in the land of his beloved.[15]

Is your girl likely to cheat?

Sometimes women claim that they were driven into the arms of another man because their guy was a terrible, awful, horrible person, and they found comfort in the arms of someone who was sensitive and attentive. Bullcrap. That's just a cop out. A cheater is a coward. At least, that's my take on it.That said, this article isn't about a woman who will cheat on you because you're neglecting her or not attentive to her delicate needs. Rather, it's about whether or not your girl will cheat on you regardless of how you treat her.

You could be the greatest man on Earth: the best lover, funny, sexy, a gentleman, and all that good stuff, but if she's wired to cheat, she will, despite any efforts on your part. This actually isn't about you at all; it's about her.All I can do is help you figure out if she was born to cheat and help you get rid of her before she rips your heart out through your testicles. Here are some signs that your girl is likely to mess around on you.

She cheated on her last guy to be with you. Although it may have been exciting and made the sex all the more fantastic, if she was cheating on her last boyfriend to get between the sheets with you, guess what, my man? She's probably going to taste the penis of another while you're still with her. Although this isn't necessarily set in stone, you have to admit that the minute things aren't so perfect between you two, which is inevitably going to happen, she'll start shopping around for M&Ms (Muscles & Money).

She cheated on all her boyfriendsShe cheated to be with you, but you discovered after the fact that she cheated on every boyfriend she ever had. So she's a branch swinger -- she won't let go of one branch until she has a firm grasp on another. It's frightening to realize that a guy can easily get her to take hold of his branch while she's with you, and you know exactly what I'm alluding to.If she has to find someone else before she lets her boyfriends go, what makes you think that you're the exception and not the rule? You have two choices: You can either stick around and wait for her to continue her swinging or you can tell her to find another branch now because you want to keep yours free of critters.

She says things like "everybody cheats"When she states cheating as a matter of fact in everyone's life and not a conscious decision made by those in relationships, you know you're going to be hearing the words "it just happened" in the weeks or months that follow. When anyone states that everyone cheats, they are, in essence, admitting that they belong to such a club. And although it doesn't necessarily mean that she is going to cheat on you, it does mean that if the opportunity arose, her excuse would be that, of course, "everyone cheats."She only "acts" slutty, she accuses you of messing around, and of course, she keeps meeting guys..

She won't sleep with you, but acts slutty in publicShe dances with other women in nightclubs, dresses in a scandalous fashion, commands the attention of every man in the room, and acts like she has an insatiable appetite for sex, but yet, when you get her home, she is anything but sexual.

When a girl puts on a public persona that is anything but what she's like in private, it's because she's faking it. She's trying to portray an image that sends out a certain message to any man that crosses her path. In effect, she keeps the competition going strong and the likelihood of her spreading 'em for someone else is quite high.

She constantly accuses you of cheatingWhen anyone is constantly making accusations that hold no merit, they're usually projecting what they are onto the other person. If she cheats and knows how easy it is to get away with it, guilt or paranoia might set in and she may, in turn, begin interrogating you if you show up 15 minutes late.
A cheater has to continually contend with the possibility that someone may one day betray them in the same manner. The momentary act of cheating is usually much easier than the mental aftermath. If she becomes consumed with the suspicion that you cheated, and there is no reason for her to do so, it's time for you to question why.
She keeps making new guy friendsIt's one thing for her to network for business purposes, but if she's constantly befriending guys and going on "casual outings" with them, why is that?

Old guy friends she had before she met you are one thing, but going out socially with other guys breeds unnecessary temptation. Why would anyone purposely set themselves up for failure? And if you're uncomfortable with it and tell her so, and she reacts in a volatile manner, making it clear that she will continue to befriend strange men, prepare for the inevitable.

She doesn't think sex is sacredIn a world where sex is an effective tool in advertising and sexual favors are being exchanged in high school like they're baseball cards, your girl may view sex as nothing more than an activity. And while that's great in the sense that she's not a prude, it's sort of frightening that sex holds no sacred merit.

If she claims to want no one else but you and yet views sex as nothing more than something to do, then how valuable does she think it is to remain faithful to someone?

She doesn't care if you're aroundShe doesn't long to see you. If you had a date and had to break it, she doesn't think it's a big deal and easily opts to go clubbing with her girlfriends. What's worse, even if she hasn't seen you for a week, she'll opt to go out with friends rather than spend time alone with you.

If you're never around, then you can easily be forgotten and therefore replaced. This isn't a guarantee that she's going to cheat, of course, but if you're never around and she couldn't care less, it's obvious that someone else may be warming up your side of the bed. it may be too lateIf you plan to get serious with a girl, you need to figure out off the bat where she stands on the topic of monogamy. That's not to say that you need to have a girl who is a one-man woman. If you want to be able to mess around and want a girl who's open to the same thing, more power to you.

The point is that you need a girl who's on the same level as you in terms of what you want out of a relationship and what you want to put into one.

And if you thought your girl was one of the good ones and yet she has displayed any of the aforementioned signs, you may want to rethink your whole plan.
