For Japan With Love.

There are 2 parts to this:

1. Fundraising:

 ?

For Japan With Love has a direct link on the website to our fundraising page for ShelterBox. ShelterBox was one of THE first organizations asked by Japan to help and were on hand on the Saturday after the quake. 

Each large, green ShelterBox is tailored to a disaster but typically contains a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage and purification equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children�s activity pack and other vital items. 

Please check it out and whatever you can contribute will be so appreciated.

And

It's that Time of the Year!!

In silently falling silvery snow,
Under a magical mistletoe.
In boxes tied up with laces,
Stockings hanging on fire places.
Atop the tree where a li�l star shines,
In bells that greet us,
with their chimes.
In tunes of Carols,
in the laughter of children.
May you find your Christmas
& Joys of the season!

Wish you a
Merry Christmas & a Happy 2010!

The Conversation with God

I told GOD: Let all my friends be healthy and happy forever...

GOD said: But for 4 days only.

I said: Yes, let them be a Spring Day, Summer Day, Autumn Day, and Winter Day.

GOD said: 3 days.

I said: Yes, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

GOD said: No, 2 days!

I said: Yes, a Bright Day (Day time) and Dark Day (Night time).

GOD said: No, just 1 day!

I said: Yes!

GOD asked: Which day?

I said: Every Day in the living years of all my friends!

GOD laughed, and said: All your friends will be healthy and happy Every Day!

This is for all my friends. May god bless you with good health and happiness forever....

Together Forever

By Jackie Lyons

We have passed through so much time,
Merely existing as spirits soulfully entwined
You happened to cross my path one day,
And decided that you'd like to stay

Now we look at each other, and we are amazed
At how far we've come, how our spirits have grown,
And how quickly the seeds of our life were sown.

Someday on the other side of forever,
We will look back and reflect, how wonderful it was
How we've come to expect more of ourselves and the world
Knowing how truly wonderful life can be...

Together forever,
You and Me.

Just My Luck

Was reading Shahrukh's interview in yesterday's Bombay Times, and one thing that struck me was that is he really that good or is it purely luck!! I think its a bit of both, coz nobody can go up in life on the basis of jus luck. Most of the times i have heard ppl saying that this guy doesn't know to act, he stutters and stammers.....god knows how ppl like him! Its strange that a person who has the mentioned inadequacies has been literally ruling the silver screen for over 15 years. He has not only proved himself as an actor but he has also been a successful anchor, producer and now an owner of a cricket team! Before all of u pounce on me, lemme tell u something this post is not about SRK, its about people like him who have been more or less successful in whatever they have done in life. Its about those ppl who have done well but most of the times the credit for their success has been given away to luck! Is it fair to take away all the credit from a person and give it to their lucky stars!? Thats for all of u to decide. I hav known such ppl and thats y i can say that they r indeed responsible for their own success and its ok to give them the credit for that. I hav known this guy who has always got things in life without struggling much. Anything u talk of, be it education, be it the love of his life, or be it his job. When everybody in his college was struggling to get thru a good company during campus placements, he got thru the first company he sat for! At that time everybody said that he dint deserve to be there and that he got it by fluke. He fell in love with this girl who studied in his school but then she got transferred and he felt that this is where his story had to end. But something inside him dint let him rest in peace and soon he realised his love for that girl was true and he tried to get in touch with her......She was livin in a different city now, and chances were that she cud be seeing somebody else but then he took a chance and came to know that she still loved him and as they say the rest is history. But the point in all of this is.......was he really lucky or was he truly genuine in giving his best shot in whatever he did! I will not deny his luck.....he was lucky for sure to have things his way. But what i want to bring to light is his ingenuity, his want to hav something so badly that he had to hav it. So tell me hw many of u hav heard this from others that "Arey he got it coz he's lucky and not bcoz he deserves it!". And how far do u agree with this statement. My say is a person can definitely succeed if he has a gr8 combination of intelligence and luck.
