Celebrate life by clapping hands


 Power of Time, the entire universe is enveloped by them. 

This world  that is being seen is ultimately imperishable

Today will never come again

Eh? Eh, speak up



The pendulum of time, the cycle of seasons, the movement of planets, 

the activities of animals, human beings, 

All-natural elements, life, wind, water, etc. are always changing. 


Life is a challenge to be met with

Early days were magic and myth

I was in  with

Emotions of surprise, admiration,  sometimes anger, frustration

Sense of security I'd lacked since my father’s expiration


Some say I'm sentimental, tough as what I believe

A tragedy with

Life with its  Olympian humorless

Shards of illusion

Is a wondering in the declaration

The greatest gift of all

Accept it


Honestly, in the madness is a commitment 

Standing on the fringes of life

Things change, friends leave and life doesn't stop for anybody

People who lead by example

And walk their talk.

The crazy rhythm in a winding walk

People who enjoy adventures and like to laugh.

And now is the time to laugh.

For a day and a half

I am a zebra, not a giraffe

Justice, Purity, Equity

Where are people of integrity?



People who are kind

Preys on the mind

Whispered it's tidings, the wind

Winds of passion eternally blow

Important changes they let you know 

These people are my heroes.

Who overcame their deepest sorrows


Attributed my one-way ticket to this world

As life unfurled

That has long faded from the world;

By reading, I could live more intensely

Life isn't like a novel you know 

We exist as long as somebody remembers us

Born alone without any paraphernalia 

Anyone shall you go likewise

Till then in nature's chain feel alive.

Life is the sphere of our sorrow is here today and here tomorrow.

There is no tomorrow without a sorrow


Chase the fancies as diligently

 As they return like flies persistently 

Only the body dies, the soul lives on. 

The body is like a garment, C' mon

When a garment becomes soiled or threadbare it is cast aside.

Warrior fights with gallant pride,

Overcoming the depressing sense.


The daily reminder of life's realities, its effects

If a moment reflects unhappy effects

Change Life from then on

Charging with crazy, unchecked enthusiasm, bold moves

On the chessboard of life.

Restraint on euphoria.

Simmer down emotionally

Breathe life into self

Life becomes cheerful, lively, fresher, appealing

Better start to face it

You can't replace it


Life is a commitment

Fulfillment of a duty, promise, obligation,

Perform it by not being a truant 


My Mum's  resourcefulness has given me an advantage

Her ability to take decisions and act

Her determination, I determination admire

Hunger, poverty, a dream turned out to be a nightmare

Pain would hit me out of nowhere

A disturbing thought hits me

Wits to survive

Staying power

Completely consumes my mind

Blocking out memories and hopes of tomorrow

Flicker of hope

Knew what my place was in the tightly interwoven fabric that was our life

Instead of crumbling to the ground and weeping, I find myself standing up straighter and with more confidence

You have a... remarkable memory

Nobody decent wins the game

Life is a game

Only you are a pawn in the game.

In this game of life

it gets to everyone

You think you're not having fun

And you wonder what you're doing

Playing games of life

No more insert coin

The end of life is near

You just reached

Reached the line of death

A game of noughts and crosses: floating up and up in your bubble, that bubbles have a habit of bursting. The higher you climb, the further you have to fall.


Agony fuses with ecstasy and dream unite with pain

Verses bleed dry

Life is a maze of a puzzling mystery; 

It's enchanted wanderers: and tempted them to pull apart the puzzle by speculation.

Solve the mystery 

Out of curiosity 


Bright Sun and the babbling brook

Singing embraceable songs

A euphoric song amplifies the faint but ecstatic feeling that we could love everyone and find true delight in being alive.


Pushes forward and gives  confidence; 

It provides the space in which they can grow 

Given this encouragement, 

We can accomplish a bigger place in our lives.


Life slowly goes nowhere,

Opportunity was golden

..seize these great opportunities

life will truly start anew in a new way

A gift for strategic thinking and having maverick-free thinking opinions can lead you to success on the horizons of genius.

The realm of communications is particularly fired up and brilliant ideas should be considered seriously for their capacity to bring in huge profits down the road.

If you are sensing something big in the works, this is not your imagination, but rather the long-awaited forward motion that will happen 

Skill born of long patience

Every situation offers an opportunity for laughter


A Wonderful illuminated journey of discovery

Our life is a constant journey, a harsh reality from birth to death. 

Walking fearlessly ahead and never once regretting it

Tragedy always brings about a radical change in our lives

Anyone truly committed to life never stops walking

Unsought journey

Every bit of received wisdom in his head he would get the truth

Journey through dark labyrinths and wrestle with the strangeness that lurked within


Life is a promise fulfilling it ensures 


As promises to educate us in a more gentle and desirable way.

Wasted an opportunity to dignify the miracle of life

promises to educate us in a more gentle and preferable way.

Silver and gold, shiny polish

Promises to educate us in a more gentle

Correct all these quietly soul-destroying aspects of life.

Just don't break your promise


If you don't have your experiences at the moment, if you gloss them over with jokes or zoom past them, you end up


Arise in joy,

By not gathering what grief-stricken destroy,

My leaky boat, I say,

O mortal! mortal! death is a part of life

Let time and no tears shall destroy,

That we may overflow the sky

With universal joy!



Life with its many dark sides,

In all its beauty, grandeur, and magnificence

Without the necessary pence

Life's glamorous ambiance

For its amused, captivating audience

ingenious" "Infectious" "Hysterical laughter"


Push into new realms and ask questions when you don't understand something. 

This is the only way you will learn, develop, and grow mentally and emotionally.

 Don't assume learning stops when you leave school.

Life is knowledge 


Meanness of spirit

Slowness of intelligence

Motivating effect of body and spirits

In solitude, dirt departs so does stench.

Sparkling a cheerful and optimistic streak that spirit

Made spirit rose once again.

Putting in a gale of laughter



Boundless splendor, grandeur, and glory of the spirit

Survivors of major disasters

Continually

Did not want to die especially a trivial death

Long and valiant fight in the hospital

The hour proceeded apace

Fights were recounted

Had to keep fighting!I was going to keep fighting!

Bubble has burst and I felt terrible.


Person and the experience of the person, as he faces, and struggles to survive his disease

Heroes, Victims, Martyrs, Warriors

Travelers to unimaginable lands

Competition

Unceasing struggle

Alternative was indescribably bad

In a certain stratum of the society

Something seemed to struggle there,

to fight up toward the hidden recesses of mind

Where life is a matter of unceasing struggle


Fatigue, suffering, struggle didn't burn through their skin like a flame burning through candle wax- wonder!


In the jigsaw puzzle of life put all pieces together to get the whole picture 


Stay true to your goals in life right now

 Because you're having so much fun pursuing them! 

Who knew that working towards your dream

 Could involve so much laughter


Your path is one you have created for yourself.

You are reaping what you have sown.


Celebrate life  by clapping hands


Celebrated with song, and dance and merrymaking.



The changing seasons, the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, cloud-burst and the Sun winking behind the fluffy clouds, All nationalities from distant lands, cold insensitive people, Gluttons, utterly lonely ones, tuneless voices, all have their places in the Universe


Life - brutish, ugly, short

Utterly utterly, unbelievably enjoyable.

Challenging moment

Life and the Light in times of trial


There was time before organisms experienced consciousness,

 And there will be time after.

And if the inevitability of human oblivion is worrying

 I encourage you to ignore it.

 Live in the moment because life is momentary

Neither pessimistic nor paranoid- just be optimistic about life

 


I don't know where I am going but I am on my way

Believing what my heart tells not what others say


We all have a great inner power

With the freshness of newly opened flower

What makes life feel like hell is our expectation that it ought to feel like heaven

 


Aside from manmade ideologies marvel at the hands evident in the creation everywhere

Its Cosmic craftsmanship, extraordinary specialized refinement, of course, is the craftsmanship

Hearken  beautiful melodies vibrating in the pregnant world

Cosmos grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, but in the Cosmic project I have a unique membership


Life grants me the best awkward and at horrible a form of war

Reaching the fullest flower of intelligence, personality, and pluck

It's an optimistic wave of a magic wand

Someday

In a positive beneficial way

The good omen is truly taking a turn

By inner power and strength of luck


Do you think I frighten

I have but one Cosmic position

You call it life

Life is mostly froth and bubble

Two things stand like stone

Kindness in others trouble

Courage in your own


We are part of the cosmos

 And cosmos in us 

Nitrogen in our DNA, Calcium in our bones and teeth Carbon, the basic unit for organic molecules

We're made in the interiors of collapsing stars

We are the stardust



Cosmic powers grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change,

 The courage to change the things I can, 

And the wisdom to know the difference


Only pessimists like jaques-disillusioned and satirical with Their observation of life, say about stages of life.


Optimism can make us do anything.

Steer clear pessimism

Easy enough to say 

It is easy enough to say that a pessimist is a person afflicted with an incurable case of sulking, melancholy, sullenness depression

A flicker of madness about eternal life

And immortal life

Think of moment as a death - a life truly ended


Determination to be the giving shape to one's own life

On someone subconscious level confused

Shadow of the as yet unknown

Perennially optimistic way

Optimism amplified by wild desperation

Turns out to be unfailing optimism

Neither pessimistic nor paranoid

Life was a matter of daily struggle

 Pulling apart the horrible puzzle

It's easy to worry in a world of trouble

Hope springs eternal

To a defiantly optimistic

But I survived a hellish jaunt

 For which there was no map or previously beaten path.

 I am not lucky to be surrounded by supportive, loving, and Optimistic family and friends,

With loneliness and solitude by my side

 My Wondermum helped me

To the potty and pee, mind you. 

Soldier on said she " you are an experiment of the Cosmos"

Hey, I am not dotty



This may not be the best of all possible universes

But it may prove to be one of the simplest- Heisenberg"

Yamunotri Temple


Yamunotri - Origin of river Yamuna


River Yamuna originates near Yamunotri. The river actually flows from Kalindi Parvat in the Bandar Poonch range. The temple of Devi Yamuna is situated here. One has to trek from Hanuman Chatti to Yamunotri, a distance of 13 km along the right bank of the river.
