One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport .
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car
jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi
driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other
car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his
head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just
smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really
friendly.
So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined
your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi
driver taught me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage
Truck.”
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They
run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of
anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up,
they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on
you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them
well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to
other people at work, at home or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage
trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the
morning with regrets, so….. “Love the people who treat you
right.. Pray for the ones who don’t.”
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how
you take it!
These days I’m getting good dose of such stories in my inbox. So I just thought that I’ll put them here and write my point of view. I completely agree with what the driver said and did. But it’s very difficult to apply in real life. It’s difficult but not impossible. A sincere try always works. I’m a cool headed person most of the time. So I already do this. But not all the time. And I’m trying..

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah,” said the son.
“So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered:
“I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night…
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.”
The boy’s father was speechless.
Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”
It all depends on how we look at things. There is always some positive in the negative. We have to find it and realize it. That can make a huge difference in our lives. It takes some effort to do it. But it’s worth.

Everyday I want to fly stay by my side…
Everyday I want to dream stay by my side…
Every morning I wish I could just play….
Wish the mornings would just stay..
I just loved this lines. This describes my day. I’m a day dreamer. yes you can say that. Dreaming in the day is my need. I cannot afford to dream during night. Hmmmmmmm..
I’ve to sleep at that time.
Unlike common and normal peoples, I don’t like to dream and spoil my sleep. Some dreams can act like sleeping pills. I know that because I’ve done that. There were times when I was unable to sleep. And I dreamed of what I want to be. It’s superhuman and out of the world. I’ll tell you all about that someday. The time has not arrived. And after dreaming about being superhuman, I sleep within 3-4 minutes. So sad that I can be superhuman for a short time.
The lines at the start of the post are not mine. How can I write something great like that. I don’t know who wrote it. But I saw this ad of vodafone where in background music this music was being played. You can get the tone at below link.

I miss them a lot. It’s really been days since I’ve been with my friends. I’m almost out of touch. I don’t know where they are, how they are. What they do and what they don’t (thats none of my business). The whole point is I miss them. I’m busy these days and I’m sure my friends will be. But then is that reason to be out of touch??
I think so. Earlier I used to be in touch with the messages and the calls and the missed calls. There used to be meetings and visits. But life has it’s own rules which makes our friends depart. Seriously speaking I, for the first time in my life feel, I need a friend. I’ve never been in a situation like this.
The need for friends is not unusual. I have always been surrounded by friends and family. Family is still with me. But the friends are disappearing. And there is a whole lot of space around me begging to be filled. The positive thing is that I’m getting new friends at my job. But that won’t make up for the one which you already have.
Oh!! I forgot. I do forget….
Friends here is in physical. I’ve lot of friends online. But I love friends offline. Now thats enough of dose for you guys. Now get back to work or start finding friends..

Past life here is not the life you lived some years back. It’s the last life you lived. Do you remember who you were in last life. I don’t. Well I don’t have that strong memory. While surfing along, I came across this link. You have to enter your birth date and you’ll know who you were in your last life.
Don’t take this one seriously. I posted this to make some smiles. And so do the author of this page. At least I think so. The page I’m talking about is Past Life Analysis. Give a visit and to find out what you were in your last life. My results were as follows.
Your past life diagnosis: I don’t know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern USA South-West around the year 1025. Your profession was that of a philosopher and thinker.
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Timid, constrained, quiet person. You had creative talents, which waited until this life to be liberated. Sometimes your environment considered you strange.
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
Your main task is to make the world more beautiful. Physical and spiritual deserts are just waiting for your touch. Keep smiling! Do you remember now?
Just Imagine. Me being a philosopher and thinker. The thought itself is funny. And once again, Don’t take this seriously. There are 366 combinations which are displayed when you type your birth date.
