I want to touch the sky with you !

You gave me wings
and made me fly
You can't quit telling you
can't be my sky

You made me smile
and now you make me cry
Tell me one thing
will i ever fly

You touched me right
and that's the reason why
I came along with you
to feel the sky

You made me rise
you made me smile
You can't quit telling you
can't be my sky

Once a gang and a growing gang

It all started in 1998 when a small group of crazy guys got friends with girls from a different section.
The life had just begun with chats, outings, birthday parties and the life still continues.

Let's get familiar with them. (Only initials used, to maintain the so called Privacy ;) )
KV- Enchanting
A lovable, charming friend. Cancerian by nature. You can hear his chuckling laugh wherever he is. Favorite of all people and goes that extra mile to help anyone who is in need at anytime. Man with a lot of compassion and loads of love for everyone. I better stop here to prevent myself from getting hit by others :P
SK - Affable
Ma best friend!!! Short, funny girl who is innocent and absolute cracky. Don't mess with me in front of her; else she might give you a hard punch on your nose. One person who knows me IN and OUT throughout my life.
BS- Exuberant
Here comes a doctor and a patient. Named Dr.Love who knows what’s going on people's mind. You must be wondering why she called a patient too. Simple she is in love that's why! She makes sure that people around are happy no matter how sad or upset she is. She can talk.. talk. and talk for hours.....
SV- Vivacious
This particular character is one among the studious in the gang. Good cricketer, I haven’t seen him playing though. Am sure he makes a good man and is fond of ladoo! :P
CJ- Gregarious
Tall, dark eh! Am not sure if the third word is applicable, well what might suit him BEST is fun loving. Nice person indeed. He can make friends in no time and knows how to maintain friendship with them. Few months ago I came across someone in train who praised this fellow a great deal. Ahem! Ahem!
SR – Hilarious
O good lord! With this fellow around you can be sure you don't get a chance to talk and also stop laughing. Especially good at pulling people's leg and drinks! Has got a small, charming wife added in his life recently.
ZN/PP - Splendid
God this lady has two names. Which one do we use? Either which one, she is always a cute, nice person. I know of guys who were absolutely latoo on her and she was called ice cream. Hee hee, I am not sure if she is aware of this.
NAZ - Witty
Wait a minute, it’s been ages since we saw this lady. Anyone who knows where can we find her? She again is known for her crazy non stop laugh. Still remember the way she used to be hard core fan of Salman Khan and was caught by our SS teacher who thought he was her BF. LOL!
BA - Pleasant
This one is a real doctor and guess what even when he is doing nothing he is thinking about his patients. Be it drink or dine. He does surgery the way a house wife would cut vegetables. “STATUTORY WARNING” - Consulting this doctor might be injurious to health. (Pun intended). Recently married to extremely sweet and chirpy girl
DEEP – Gentle
this particular dude seems to be a good dancer and lately he says he wants to learn SALSA. Girls he is looking for a partner, and stands a promising chance of being potential bachelor.
PS: this post was on Aug 02, 2009 and the fact holds good only for a certain time. So please check the terms & conditions. Btw why is he not in any of the SNW :o
RC – Shy
One of the quiet people in the gang. A little shy for just a while. Great goings, has settled with a homely lady very recently and stays in touch no matter what.

Our friendship will continue no matter what. Guys I started writing this blog last month. Never found time to complete. Today seemed to be the best occasion to post it live.

Treasure

“Yada yada hi dharmasya, glanir bhavati bharata,

Abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srujam yaham”


This is an inspiring shlok from “Bhagwad Gita”
How many of us even know the meaning of this? Well I dint know its COMPLETE meaning either.... Nor am I ashamed to admit the same.
A friend of mine who has got simply crazy about tattoos lately said that he would get this shlok tattooed on his body and I was taken aback .
I wondered why this young chap did not wanted some freaky/ nudey/seductive tattoo on his body. Well when I thought back realized, it was in his blood deep embedded; the cultural values instilled by his grandfather.
 
Gita gives you the ideal attitude you should possess to live and die in a really purposeful manner and to get lasting peace and bliss. Bhagwad Gita is not meant merely for people who are aged and mothers who are religious. It is definitely for each soul breathing and thinking on this earth.
It might sound insane to read and follow the learnings from these shloks. However the beauty of our life rests in our hand. How purposeful we make it. What impact we create about ourselves before we could leave this world. Our values and tradition can never go away from us. They are resting in our cells, breathing there silently, and they get evoked at such instances. Its upto people like you and me to decide until what time we keep these values alive!
No, I ain't telling you to follow these and live like saint. My aim was to make you realize for a few seconds, the kind of treasure we have inherited from our ancestors (in form of these values) and think of how much of this are we going to pass it on to our kids. I am sure each one of us would like our kids to be happy, prosperous and rich. So when are are you intending to learn and earn this treasure???

Salut!
