WORTH READING!



The Guys' Rules



 



At last
a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Finally, the guys' side of the
story.
(I must admit, it's pretty good.)

We always hear
"the rules"

From the female side.

Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!

Please note.. these are all numbered "1"

ON PURPOSE!



1. Men
ARE not mind readers.



1. Learn to work the toilet seat.

You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.

We need it up, you need it down.

You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.



1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon

or the changing of the tides.

Let it be.



1. Shopping is NOT a sport.

And no, we are never going to think of it that way.



1. Crying is blackmail.



1. Ask for what you want.

Let us be clear on this one:

Subtle hints do not work!

Strong hints do not work!

Obvious hints do not work!

Just say it!



1. Yes and No are
perfectly Acceptable
answers to almost every question.



1. Come to us with a problem
only If you want help solving
it. That's what we do.

Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.



1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a
problem. See a doctor.



1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.

In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.



1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls,
don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.



1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.

Don't ask us.



1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes
you sad or angry, we meant the
other one .



1. You can either ask us to do something

Or tell us how you want it done.

Not both.

If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.



1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.



1. Christopher Columbus did
NOT need directions and
neither do we.



1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.

Peach, for example, is a fruit, not! A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have
no idea what mauve is.



1. If it itches, it
will Be scratched.

We do that.



1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like
nothing's wrong.

We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.



1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you
don't want to hear.



1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear Is fine...
Really.



1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about
unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football, motorsport,

or
golf.



1. You have enough clothes.



1. You have too many shoes.



1. I am in shape.
Round IS a shape!



1. Thank you for reading this.

Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;





But did you know men really don't mind
that? It's like camping.



Pass this to as many men as you can -

to give them a laugh.



Pass this to as many women as you can



to give them a
bigger laugh

YES WE CAN !

READY TO BELIEVE

I'm ready to believe
No more people who deceive
It's his time to take the stage
It's our time to turn the page
I don't want to be feeling sad
I don't want to be feeling bad
Give us one good man
Who says yes
Yes we can !


They say he must wait his turn
They say too much to learn
They say he should stand in line
It's their plan, not mine

They say it's a fairy tale
They say rolling dice can only fail
They say it will fall apart
He alone speaks from my heart


Can we see the future and not the past?
Yes we can !
Can we come together and make a change?
Yes we can !
Can we really believe again?

Yes we can !

We say, now is the time
We say, this is the plan
We say, it takes one good man

Yes we can !

Self Awakening!

Well.. its 3:43 am on the clock... and m all jus wide awake, knwing nt wat to do.. felt i shud scribble smethin in the middle of ( gonna be sunrise soon) .. wee hours! my mind s totally blank nw.. i ve never stayed awake for this long... last time..i actually was awake the whole nite was durin my thesis day.. and its been a year and a half frm then... At this point of time..i feel at total peace with myself..ready to forgive myself  for that i ve been thro d day.. life seems so strange at times.. d things once u desired.. are nw of no more interest.. i alwez wanted an Ipod.. and i got it.. but i dnt use it much often... the desire s jus no more.. i ve alwez wanted to be surrounded with frenz and ppl.. but off late..i prefer being alone.. its jus tat, i find sme kind of peace.. tat solitude...tat lonliness.. the silence that evokes all mist feelings.. s a kind of stress buster to me.. i dnt knw hw far it works wid others. Offlate i wanted to do things which i have alwez kept away frm doing.. for many reasons, my mind s like one junkyard  filled wid so many unexplored paths ,,,, sme hesitation to accept reality .. its an illusion to sme, maybe.. but the truth is... hw many of us have tried to satisfy our soul..rather than doin satisfyin our egos! smetimes..m nt true to myself, why do i have to convince myself....harsh reality smtimes plays deadlly wid our lives tat the mask may have to worn thro out the life... hw i wish, i cud be a child again, careless and yet free like a bird , wid dreams and hopes of a never endin fairy tale. i used to literally believe in santa claus.. till my sixth grade, and all about tat fairy..who gives money for broken teeth kept under ur pillow. wen i think of them nw.. its almost a trip down the child hood lane. well being an adult, given its adavantages.. the life i lead s almost stressing me out.. deadlines.. politics... corrupt.. and i cant jus run away like tat..and i held myself responsible for such a life. i knw wat it takes to turn around TO A BETTER LIFE..and M GONNA DO IT CAUSE M WORTH IT! its 4:14.am     nw.. guess m nt gonna sleep.. m already feelin on a high jus by thinking of a new day ahead of me.. and m gonna live it to the fullest! no matter wat.. itz ma life. well most of the people must have gone thro situations..wher you feel the need to change and rite nw m goin thro those phases... m nt tat practical wid my thoughts, coz i dream a lot..the transition may be a temporary phase but m looking forward to a being a better person at soul and heart and most of all being true to myself and to trust myself , i definitely wanna lead a holistic living at the end of the day! m rite nw lisenin to DiDO s... the best day of my life and.. it seems so true...

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall

it reminds me that it's not so bad

it's not so bad


I drank too much last night, got bills to pay

my head just feels in pain

I missed the bus and there'll be hell today

I'm late for work again

and even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day

and then you call me and it's not so bad

it's not so bad and



God I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life



Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through

then you handed me a towel and all I see is you

and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue

because you're near me and



God I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Mite nt sound intrestin tho!....


Time machine! Yes if some “Einstein” or” Wright bros or sme
geeky heads had invented it, life wud have been much easier. I have alwez ended
up making a mess of sme thing or the other, but yeah every one makes mistakes.
Not tat we all were designed to commit mistakes... It jus happens... jus like
tat! Hw simple cud tat be, I agree sme wrong moves may get us floored but...
why do we try to run away or hide behind the curtains till everything becomes
normal... its nothing like owning up for your own crime, but hw bad can it get,
when u still feel happy for all that messed up knots in your life. Trust me
life can still be a zingalala if u jus dust it off your feet. Everyone likes to
be perfect and none likes to lose even if it s a fair deal... I am sick of
hearing statements such as... “don’t worry” there s alwez d next time” be a
good sport”. come on, I believe u either make your destiny or make a flop show,
you alone are responsible for the things that happen around you and its
understood that, nothing can be done to the damage. You alwez get it rite the
first time, if not, then it s not your cup, maybe you wud, if u keep trying,
TRY AND TRY UNTIL YOU SUCCEED! M sure in this buzz buzz world, none has d time
to stop by and what are we gonna prove by trying, tat we are better than them! When
you are aware of your worth and if it’s the only thing u have ever wanted in
your life, hw can u ever go wrong, I mean hw... why...all these questions pop
up, d moment u get sandwiched! I think it’s completely aright to lose and vent
out your anger even if it doesn’t make much sense, scared that you mite being
an easy target to criticism. But that’s much better, rather than blaming some
one else for your wrong move. I don’t want to be called a goodie goodie gal and
regret for anything I have done. To every action there s alwez an equal and
opposite reaction. Being happy and smiling alwez doesn’t get you around, at
times you have to put your foot down in that puddle of dirty mud, cuz none has
the rite to threaten your existence , your actions, and your motives as long as
you don’t give up on yourself. There wud be times , when close ones around you
walk out of your life and your are all left alone, with none to share and cry a
tear. Cry if you must, you still have your soul deep inside voicing out and
comforting you, tat you are never alone. Life s like a stream, with lots of
impurities… some get dissolved... some get left behind… some still move on and
the path they travel can be on sme rocky cliff or a thorny bush, but it s least
bothered about what it has gone through and is still treading at its very best
…if only those around us realize that, m sure having a negative attitude does
bring out positive changes in life.

Yaaron dosti badi hi hasiin hei
Ye na ho to kya fiir bolo yeh jindagi hei
Kohi to ho raazadaan begaraj tera ho yaar
Kohi to ho raazadaan


Yaaron mohabbat hi to bandagi hei
Ye na ho to kya fiir bolo yeh jindagi hei
Kohi to dilbar ho yaar
Jisko tujse ho pyaar
Kohi to ho dilbar ho yaar

Teri har ek burai pe daante woh dost
Gum ki ho dhoop to saanya bane tera woh dost
Naache bhi who teri khuusi mein

Yaaron dosti badi hi hasiin hei
Ye na ho to kya fiir bolo yeh jindagi hei
Kohi to ho raazadaan begaraj tera ho yaar
Kohi to ho raazadaan

Tann mann karen tujh pe fida mehboob woh
Palko pe jo rakhe tujhe mehboob woh
jiski bafa tere liye ho

Are yaaron mohabbat hi to bandagi hei
Ye na ho to kya fiir bolo yeh jindagi hei
Kohi to dilbar ho yaar
Jisko tujse ho pyaar
Kohi to ho dilbar ho yaar

Motivational Quote of the Day




"You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being, not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money, but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason."
