Another poem that every romantic heart craves for ....
Never say I love you
If you don't really care
Never talk of feelings
If they aren't really there
Never hold my hand
If you mean to break my heart
Never say forever
If you ever plan to part
Never look into my eyes
If you are telling me a lie
Never say hello
If you think you'll say goodbye
Never say that I'm THE one
If you dream of more than me
Never lock up my heart
If you don't have the key...
Author(s) :Many to claim for it ..but all to love this poem

If .....
I happened to surf and found this poem on every noble man's page .Thought I would add it too!
Here it is :
IF..
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

Chip and Dale
There is a mom squirrel that has built a new home in our home . A soft , fluffy nest for its offsprings . It climbs the tree and leaps a long jump on to our building and enters our home through the window . It's baby is screaming loud ( a weak one though ) .The mom enters , hushes it's baby , some argument goes on and the mom leaves in a haste with the baby so silent now .
By now I am all ready to witness all this .
The mom squi (Chip ) enters and feeds it's baby .
The baby (Dale ) is quite old now ( 2-3 weeks old u see ) and is demanding to go out and explore the beautiful world . Here I have tried interpreting their conversation :
Day 1
Chip (Mom ) : O baby , u rn't yet old enough to get out . Stay here , while I am off . U r safe here .
Dale(Baby ) : Mama , let me out , let me follow u . I am bored here u see . Am all alone . There are some other creatures (we humans ) here too .
Chip : Hey , stay away from there , don't even get down from our home . Be in till I come and call out .
Dale : But ..... Mama .... errr ... I want to come along .
Chip : No response , and she was off in search of food .
Story continues for few more days
Day 6
Dale : Calling out , chirping out .
Meanwhile we close all the windows so that the baby doesn't escape to the outer world where crows , eagles and cats are ready to have their early morning feast .
I go out and what do I see , the Chip is on her way to our home climbing the pipelines and trees and approaching our house . I immediately clear all the ways for her to enter our house
She comes , the baby squiiing even louder .
I was left spellbound at the beauty of the nature . She is hardly fearful of any thing , even me , as her priority was else where . Woo ! I was like , hats off to u Chip !!
She enters the room where she has built her home very precisely . Talks to the baby
Chip : Dale , why r u out ? Didn't I ask u to stay In ???? (Angry )
Dale : Mamamma ma mama a ma ama , I am waiting for u . Today I can come out right ?
Chip : Hmmm ....
Dale : See mama , how I dared to get out of the home and have even climbed this window :)
Chip : (U idiot )The ppl here are quite believable
Then she holds her baby in her jaw .The baby fights back wanting to walk on it's own . But Dale's control now being with Chip , shakes Dale and was off on the new journey .
Today , I witnessed this beauty and was left with a nice feeling . All day , myself and my sisters joked apart about the baby's reaction after the training :
Dale : [ How I wish I was at home , it is soooooo tiring to climb the trees ]
No wonder , the mother would have had the last laugh !!
:)
Change / Surprise ?
The first post of this year .
Have you heard of somebody getting bored of their image and doing something drastic to it for a CHANGE ? If so , I too get added along the league .Got a hair cut , to my surprise shocked myself ..I didn't mean what I said to the parlorist , but what happened was exactly what I wanted ... A change .. on 31st of Dec -08
So here I am with all the new hair do ..that my colleagues took few seconds ...(to minutes in exceptional cases of ppl too lost in their world to try hitting their cerebellums and recall who I am .For them it is just another person whom they DON'T KNOW ?? )
To begin with the new year , I forgot the incident that happened the day before and was casually seated on my seat . 1st comes my PM .The routine is like this ,he stands there to switch on the light over his cabin and meanwhile if I am seated , will greet me .That day , he switches the light ON , but somebody unusual has occupied his teammate's seat .His inner drive urges him to greet me , but something else pauses him for a while and he keeps gazing . The next second there he is smiling showing his fastest ability to recognize(U see 3 sec) .He goes to his seat as if nothing is unusual :) .
Then comes our very known Suri , who walks as if he is a skeleton in a slow motion movie and is the least burdened person on this planet ..But before I proceed , I must enter another scene , call it Scene 2 .
Scene 2: Before Suri went on vacation , DBS was his neighbour , who happens to be our PL .The day Suri left early for his holidays , our very PL shifted to a luxury zone , u know an independent cubicle that only PMs have the liberty to enjoy . And I occupied his old place which is adjacent to that of Suri's .
Back to old scene of Suri entering on the new year day at 11.00 am ( u see why he is hardly tensed... ) Suri is standing behind me with all the hostility possible and is puzzeled .I am working and donot know what's happening at my back .Then something flashes and he sits next to my place and greets a hi and casually turns on his PC and comments "Kya , naya hair style kya ." I turn back to him , and was equally releived to find him gone to Tirupathi and said "tumne bhiiii :) ?? "
Then comes our husmukhlal , DBS , who is quite loud in expressing himself . He is now standing right behind me in all smiles knowing exactly what the change is :) New year greetings are exchanged between us and now all the talk is in the air . Meanwile PM joins and we 4 of us are in a nostalgic discussion about our Christmas - New year holidays . Slowly , all air is cleared . DBS says the cut is good and asks for the reason . PM appreciated my haircut and complimented it too . Suri's turn .He says , he was quite puzzeled as to why DBS has this kind of a hairdo .His experience with the new Me burst everyone into a loud laughter . Now comes another team mate of ours , call her Mrs.B . She comes with all the music and dance in herself ( a la - lala la la la ala ala al kind of U see :) ) She has seen the 3 of us and assumed they are talking to another associate (which is me ) . She greets all of them and just has a glimpse of me . "Wooooooo , Tara ", is her reaction . She says I look like a small , cute kid !!! Hmmm , that was amazing of her to say so :) and I am rejuvenated !
It is even more terrific to be with those who have already identified U but have a completely bald cut (Suri here ) and u r waiting for a 3rd person who is still new to this BIG surprise :) We are waiting for Sup at lunch and are already at a table .She comes looking for me , a person with more shoulder length long hair with Suri and group . She stands amidst the crowd and is very close to our table .She looks around ,and around . Woof , I call her on her cell and Bunty comes and rescues her :) So I ask her to follow Bunty (who knows abt this the previous day ) to reach me .
She comes with the biggest smile and all her teeth shining for so long and her eyes not moving out of me ; showed she was mesmerised and happy with this , and she was OK with it :) . What a relief it was that she okayed it :)
Many such reactions to share too .
The morning I say a hello to my fellow associate at breakfast . He ignores . I follow him to make sure I say a hello and accompany them .He joins another friend of mine who too ignores the person approaching him . I sit there with new year greetings to them and they take a while before gulping my identity :) .We laugh out loud . They felt why a lady comes and needs no permission to sit with them . Hehe he , ppl who know each other don't need to do formalities U see :)
I am passing by , and my another aquaintance sees me smiling , and she returns the smile deeply looking at me . For a second she blinks both her eyes and then calls me out with an instant ( 2nd precisely) and compliments the hairdo .
Just another memorable and mesmerising reactions to share :
Then comes the much awaited meet after 23 days with a new hairdo and the effects still not gone esp with ppl whom I haven't met .Now let's call this guy BG . I say him a Hi , ( a quieter one ) which he does notice but is n't sure of the person whom he will return the Hi . Stands there stunned and jawdropped and smiling with absoloute clarity in his reaction that he knows me and doesn't know me either :) I just pass by allowing his choke to turn ON his Tubelight :)

He & She!
He is a man to me ,
Who shoulders when all is gone
He is a man to me ,
whose steps firm & strong
He steps forward
he steps fearless
He is a man to me
who speaks as efficiently as he listens
He sails through the storm
he swims through the tornado
He is a man to me !
He is thick & strong
yet gentle & calm!
He is a man to me !!
He is a gentleman to me !!
She is a woman to me
in all her elegance & beauty
Oh,she is so divine
Oh, she is so charming
She stands tall
she is warm all
With strong shoulders
Bravely confronts her boulders
Oh,she is a storm in herself
she is an ocean,calm in herself
She is kind and caring
Oh, she is strong and raring
Her sight so deep
her eyes so mist
She blooms when her neighbours are glad
She withdraws when she is thunderstruck!
Oh , she is a woman to me !
Oh , she is beauty to me!!

The 14th of Feb
14th of February -all over the world , is celebrated as the Valentine's day . Today , we have headed to a faster era , 7 years after the 2nd millennium after the birth of Lord Jesus , and entered in to the 8th year too! Technology seems to have reduced everything from distance to feelings!!Wth the fast moving pace , feelings are desperately expressed with an even greater speed !This day is marked to express love for one another !
On 14th I wake up & see the date : 14 th .....What can be done to make this day a memorable day in my life or rather in our lives ?I am not aware of the significance or the history of the day , however , I knew one thing :- It is a Valentine's day .Who was St.Valentine ? Err.. he was a Saint !!! Wikipedia says this day he was buried in AD 269 in Rome .A catholic encyclopidea says St.Valentine was martyred in Africa .Valentine of Terni became bishop of Interamna about AD 197 and is said to have been killed during the persecution of Emperor Aurelian .Oh my God!!Ghosh ! How many Saints and yet the one day . Remarkable isn't it ?All of them sacrificed their lives for a noble cause !The first secretly encouraged marriage of soldiers against the laws of Roman emperor Claudius II who believed that single men can make a good army . Saint was executed for this , but before execution , he is also reported to have healed the blind daughter of his jailer . Now wasn't this a kind act ? How human , how just , how noble their gestures were ! They worked for a cause , they sacrificed for a cause , a cause for HUMANS , to protect HUMANITY !
That was a medieval period . What in 21st century , we wish to remember those . It becomes a gift , a flower from a man to a woman . Ghosh ! What about the rest ? How do they celebrate ? What about the singles ? What do we do ?
No worries ..!!We still have each day to celebrate , to give , to spread kind gestures , sincere tributes to noted and respected persons . All these thoughts lingered in my mind . A small act of grace has to be done to mark this day in my calender . So , I and my friend , Sup , chose to distribute chocolates to whomever we know and whomever I admire :-) . After this , it left some satisfaction within us . Are these emotions ? Dare think so ? Na , they are actions , they are verbs , they are work that resulted into emotions , feelings and finally dissolved in to our memories .

Get together 2007
What is it that stands with us , that we carry all our way ?
Memories stand along when everything has left us!(Though another being Hopes :) ) We were a batch of 60 when we joined Engineering in the year 2002 at SRSIT , and now jab we met on 22nd of Dec ,2007 , we were almost peaking the equivalent strength of about 30+ :) .The vaanara sena met after 1 and a half year of completion of Engg and the magnitude of madness & craze is very much self explanatory!
Each one wanted to shock the other by displaying as much enthusiasm as possible. Each wanted to surprise the other , have a deep chat .But....., these but-s ....Here , everyone except me reached in time by 10.30 AM at the college campus filled with greenery & 'peace' till then , only to find College authorities making it all a 'wonderful' alumni meeting !Stage from nowhere came in to limelight , mikes were organised for the students (that is , us) to share their experience , Princi ,administrative officer , placement officer ellaru nammana darshana kodakke prakatavaadaru !!And only we know how it tastes like , something we always wished to bunk!
So , done with all the labour .Everyone bore the pain.Then arrives this very me as the police in the movie sharp at 12.15 PM .I entered the college campus with a mixture of feelings , anxious , sad to be late , worried that everything was over , all gala time i missed .I missed the fun !!! But here what do I see ?? Everyone so happy , watching me coming now . I entered the auditorium thinking i am entering an official meeting , but wow!!!The stage is filled with my classmates , mike one of us holding, the distinguished guests seemed to have disappeared .Only the kapi galu seated on the honorary chairs !!! Wooooo! I ran , waving at my batchmates , hugging my dear friends , and jumped on to the stage to celebrate OUR day .All of us had fun now ."I arrived at the right time dear ", said to myself .Had some moments with each of us , cracked some pjs for which none of us missed laughing ! As time passed , we had lunch ,seated in the circumference of a circle formed by us .
Then came our favourite pastime , Cricket !! This is what brought us together in the past , and now ,also in the present .Formed 2 teams , aur chal diye . One team already decided to bat . But internally , the other team also decided to bat . We could see a batsman from each team readily standing !!! Confusions , hilarious , funny to face and be involved in it ! I bowled to a strong batsman by giving a dead ball ( 2 bounces). But what to do , my bad luck was quite good , it hit the wicket . He had to go . Everyone accepted gal's way of cricket without any rules ! I just loved this .Overthrow was allowed . Their arrogance to play lightly and our show off of power of cricket paved way to such a genteel !It was a comedy theatre with spectators and players doing either jobs or both !Then opposite teams played their due .
Some body won , but who cared ? Each enjoyed making others happy! Then came the real time that is actual :). We all seated on the green grass began with interviews of who is who of the class. Leg pulling was in the air , and we enjoyed this chain pulling . When people of same rapport , and simple friendship meet , we know that there is always comfort life long !
Aren't we friends forever ?
