Willingness to Change

I am who I am and I won’t change for anyone. Accept me as I am - A beautiful self-motivational phrase. I cannot be the person you are looking for. I am just the way I am. I am stubborn, I drink, I smoke, I hang out late night at clubs & discos. But if you have to be my friend you need to accept me as I am.

Amazing!!!

I have been very active on many networking sites. And I have been through quite a few profiles.  I have frequently come across the above phrase. Be realistic. You do need to change. I believe that everyone is different and I respect mine as well as other’s individuality. But at the same time, we cannot be compatible with anyone if we do not make an effort to change. I would want my friend to change for his or her betterment. Not a fully different person, but just a step towards betterment. I am myself willing to change if someone tells me what I am doing is wrong. Can I tell you to accept me as I am if I know what I am doing is wrong?

I would not be surprised if a few years down the line I heard a corrupt politician say, “Accept me as I am”.

Friends, No one is perfect. Everyone has certain flaws. We would not be human beings, if we were perfect. And for the same reason, we need to accept our flaws and try to change. There is nothing wrong in making a mistake and accepting that you have made it as long as you are determined to avoid it the next time rather than trying to wrongfully prove that you are right.

A husband will never be compatible with his wife (and vice versa) if both of them keep the same “I am not going to change” attitude. And most ironically, it’s commonly seen on matrimonial sites.

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.” – C.S.Lewis

Is it LOVE?

Is it LOVE,

Happiness & Pain

What is the most desired feeling? Is it the feeling of Happiness or the feeling of Pain? If I had to answer that question, I would most certainly choose the feeling of happiness. And I am confident that everyone desires the same.

The term “Friendship” – How generalized can it get?

It’s quarter past three in the afternoon. I am sitting at a crowded café sipping at my coffee. I don’t like it black so I add in a little cream with latte. There is one empty seat at the other end of my table. A guy, not so old, comes close to me and says, “Buddy, can I share this seat? I need to rest my feet.” “You can”, I said. “It’s not occupied.” The moment he sat, he thanked me and introduced himself to me.

Men in Blue – A Total Whitewash

The Test series between the World Cup Champions, India & England ended today with a magnificent win of 4-0 for England. I am sure not even the English fans had hoped for such a win. England played exceptionally well and they rightfully deserve the number one spot in the ICC Test Rankings.

I am...

Have we ever tried imagining green pastures or meadows? Have we ever tried listening to the birds chirruping in the trees? How about the sound of the water when it beats on the rocks or the sound of the waves lashing at the shore? When was the last time the pleasant breeze filled your spirit with hope & self-confidence? When was the last time you seriously prayed to God, the Almighty, to bring peace to this world? When was the last time you helped someone bring a smile to their face? When was the last time someone smiled in gratitude to all that you had done for them?

Marriage - An Eternal Bond of LOVE.

A well educated personality has defined marriage as a rotten, man-made institution where two people of opposite sex bond together only for body warmth.

Let’s face it… We are living in the 21^st century and most of us think just the same.
