The different shades and strokes of life...
(Courtesy: Madhu... Thank U my Dear...)

strokes of life
shades of passion

color of love
a brush of emotion

hopes and dreams,fuel my expectation,cares and concerns,define my conviction

joys and sorrows,
form life's foundationgains and losses,
brace me for my destination

memories of exhilaration,
create a warm sensation
memories that teach a lesson,
to life add some regulation
to choose one's destiny
to live up to my aspiration
is the sole purpose of life
is my only inclination...

A piece I read and thought should share with one and all...

Believe nothing
Merely because you have been told it,
Or because it is traditional,
or because you yourself have imagined it.
Do not believe what your teacher tells you,
Merely out of respect for the teacher.

But whatever after due examination and analysis,
You find to be conducive to the good,
the benefit,
the welfare of all beings,
that doctrine believe and cling to
and take it as your guide!
