Most people walk in and out of our life. But only True friends leave footprints in our heart.
Whether we realize it or not, everyone we know is very special to us.
When we look back on our younger years, we will remember the people who went to with us, the people who made us laugh, the people who hung out with us when nobody else would, and the people who made our lives much better simply by being a part of it.
There may be somebody who is thinking about you RIGHT NOW and wishing that you were around. That's the wonderful thing about friendship-you always feel loved and cared about.
The most important thing to remember is... Always appreciate the friends that you have.
A fight may come and go very easily, but a friendship could last forever.
For every second spent in anger, a minute of happiness is wasted.
There are many people who comes in our entire life, but the one that left their footprints in our minds and hearts are the very special one.
They gave us some reason to laugh, cry, joy, and happiness. Friends are the only one whom we can share everything, as everything is not possible to share with our family also, but it can be done with the true friends, because they can read our minds and give us good decision in our life.
Childhood friends are forever! Examples of such friendships are galore where a childhood friend has forsaken everything for his friend. Such friendships never blossom as we mature and grow old. The friendship that develops between two friends in school or through living in the same locality, often goes on to become everlasting and is never broken by any outside force. I am still in touch with my childhood friend from school and he is like a pillar of support to me. The bond that forms between two childhood friends is unbreakable. Such friendships are intuitive, where one friend understands the mind of the other.
Arrording to Lord Buddha on friendship, "A true friend helps us when we're in need. They protect us. A good friend is a refuge in life. A friend who is constantly there no matter we're facing happiness or sorrow or trouble in our lives. We share secrets in friendship and the friend will not betray our secrets - in fact, good friends warn us when we're treading on dangerous roads. This sort of a friend is a gift."
So, always trust your friend and never forget them as they are the one who will always be by your side till the entire life.

Ego Kills Love - So be a Egokiller
Ego Kills Love! Lets kill the EGO before it kills Love...!!!
A masterpiece story I came across, For those of you, who have already read this one, I am sure you will agree with me, that its worth reinforcing a thousand times. Its the story about the hypothetical island that existed, which was home for all different feelings that exist on the face of the earth today. Let me start in a classical story telling way "Once upon a time....
Once upon a time..., there was an island called FEELINGS ISLAND, which was home to all types of feelings. Joy, Love, Ego, care, Shame, Hatred, Magnanimity, generosity, kindness, shyness, audacity, disgust, frustration, jealousy, atheism etc. All the feelings we can think of. Now, staying together on the same island, they had a great time with each other. Each feeling played its role in an indefatigably glib manner, never drifting from its own role.
It was just another pleasant morning sunrise that this island saw, when 'jealousy' was the first one to get ready, as it is jealous of everybody else, so wants to be first at everything. 'Care' was taking care of everything and everybody. 'Love' was loving everybody and spreading smiles. 'Hatred' was abusing everybody and hating everybody for unique reasons. 'Ego' was sitting in one corner not mingling with anybody, was in its own world, for it felt it was better than everybody else. Activity was normal as everyday, Until 'panic' alarmed everybody by jumping around the entire island, and screaming - "Tsunami" " Tsunami" ... !!!
Love and Care took notice of this and immediately arranged for boats to travel to the next island. They sent everybody on them. Jealousy was the first one to get in, while hatred was still hating this happening. But things went on, everybody was busy saving their lives, While love and care were sending everybody.
What nobody took notice, but 'love' did take notice, was someone, sitting in one corner, not sitting into any of the boats. 'Love' reached out to him, to see who he was, it was 'EGO'. 'Love' said, "my dear friend come with me, else you will die here." After all, it was 'ego'. It kept refusing, while love kept forcing him to come along. 'Ego' kept rejecting.
'Care' tied the boat to the shore, waiting for these two to come. Unfortunately, 'careless' was on the same boat, it broke the string, that tied the boat to the shore. 'Love' did not get scared, it still loved careless, while it kept forcing the 'ego' to still come along.
The last boat left from there, Tsunami arrived, taking away the two lives on the Island.
MORAL OF THE STORY: "EGO" always drowns, but don’t forget it takes LOVE alongwith it. Wherever 'EGO' exists Love always gets killed.
I have personnally seen many people who have put their life and carreer in a great difficulty because of their ego. No people even wants to talk to them. There are very few people in this earth who submerged their ego and listen to them. Every day we come across many people who have this tendency. They this that they are the superior and right, But they don't know that they are not loved by anyone by heart.
So my dear friends, lets submerge our ego, as far as possible and start enjoying a much better life. For, ego kills love along with itself. Every relation starts looking more beautiful, when EGO gets eliminated. Let’s make efforts to kill that element in us.
I hope you found this blog helpful, promote it to all your friends, I am sure its going to eliminate a lot of ego from this beautiful planet earth.
EGO - Eliminates Growing Opportunities.
LOVE - Life Opens Various Exceptions. (Exceptionally amazing things start happening)

Technology
The time is ticking in the direction, it started long ago. India got its independence long ago, about 60 years ago, in 1947. Ever since then lots of things have changed in our country. Only thing that has not changed is the status of the country - It is still 'developing'. My father got his one mark and I got mine for answering this fill in the blank - "India is _______ Country". I just hope when my son/daughter writes - "developing", they lose their one mark. A father wanting his kids to lose marks? I wish this came true. Would be the wish of all of us reading this article right now :-)
Internet started about 20 years ago, it celebrated its 20th birthday on 13th Of March 2009. Computers came into existence about a few decades ago. America/Japan or other developed countries are at peaks in using computers and technology for their progress. India truly lacks that.
My dear friends, Just try picturing this on your mind, When one fellow indian 'A' of our country is talking about tweeting/blogging/cloud computing etc. The other fellow indian 'B' does not even know what a computer is. The irony of the situation is 'B' form about 93.88% of our country's population. If you visit any developed country - they talk about more than 60-70% computer literacy in their countries.
In India, technology has grown very rapidly after the computer and mobile technology came mainly in the last 5 years. Before that mobile and computers were deemed as luxurious items and people who used to afford are considered as rich persons. But today these two luxurious items have become a necessity in the daily life of the common man also. People who are below the poverty line are also using it directly or indirectly.
It is true that people is using technology, but only 10% using it to their maximum. The technology is growing at a pace, that in few years from now, it would be difficult for the computer aware (who are not greatly aware) people itself to catch up with the progress. Imagine our fellow indian, then, just getting to know about computers. Millions of Fashions would have come and gone on the internet, and exactly when our fellow indian would be feeling like an alien and out of place with all these things.
Today, using the mobiles we not only get in touch with our friends and relatives but also can do a lot of things including chat, photography, entertainment, using our mobiles as palmtops, etc. Similar is the case with the computers, which has also come a great distance to help the people and made them save time by the use of internet and online services. But more us yet to come, and if we look around, how many of them are using all these features?
If the gap between A & B, is not bridged up in the next five years, It will be a near to impossible task to push the country to greater heights, for advancement of technology and progress of internet are faster than speed of light right now. It already requires drastic steps to push the computer literacy higher.
Because if it not happen then, it is not far enough when everything and anything we will use would be running on technology. In school notebooks will be replaced by pc notebooks and blackboard will be replaced by 3D boards (used in educomp). Then what will the parents do, if they are not computer aware?
Even today most forms are available and filled online. And important exams like CAT & CBSE are trying to start online examinations also. Not very far when all the exams will be conducted online.
A big point to think if the technology continues to grow at the same pace then what will happen after 10 years. How will the people, mainly Common Man who are not computer aware interact with it?
What will happen to them who thinks and says that computer is a nuisence and not for them and they can live without it?
Will the Darwin's law of 'survival of the fittest' will come into force?

Ideology of a man.
Ideology of a man is the mirror of his mind and his life. An ideology is a set of aims and ideas that directs one's goals, expectations, and actions.
I have seen many people, mainly in India, whose ideology in life is very difficult to understand. Some of them are as under.
I am talking specially about the parents, who pressures their child to become they want him/her to be in their life. This is an ideology I simply can't understand still today. If you notice these days, many headlines of newspaples and television news flashing of school children committing suicide. It is clearly seen that the graph of children committing suicide has increasingly gone up. Has there any other ideas to make these parents understand ?
Another ideology of the parents is about the marriage of their children, specially of the son. I've witnessed many people, including some of my friends also, whose parents give their marriage before their silver jublee in life, even if they are not earning. This ideology is also not understandable to me.
Another thing which many of my friends will agree with me that most people in India fears to do some new thing in life. Very clearly they don't want to take risk in their life, and want to play for their life on backfoot. They mainly want some another person to do that work first and if he/she comes out safe then they will try to do the work. Why people not daring to take some risk (in positive move) in their life, which could makeit better? In other words why they don't test/challenge their luck ?
