My love story!
I had a crush on him when I was 16, a deep desire within me to own him. I turned 18 and it was my dream come true when I had a chance to befriend him. Yes, I did that, the dawn of July 13, 2001 was so auspicious for me, I know he has entered my life. We have become very close now.
Our love started growing as years passed, but there were lots of misunderstanding. I wasn’t sure if he still loves me. I had to do a lot of sacrifices. The amount of pain that I suffered every day was taking my life out. Everyone left me alone. Sleepless nights, I spent with him, jus thinking about him. The fights I had to put up to get our relationship going on.
The day came in 2003, I gathered all my guts and made my first proposal to him. He did not reject me on my face, neither did he accept me. He was half-minded I guess. He was in constant touch with me even after that. We spoke almost daily, the hours I spent with him was much more than I spent with my parents, my relatives and friends. He was still not sure about us. We had frequent quarrels now and then. I was jealous of him having so many friends and each one would call him for a date, he left me alone, all alone , with just his thoughts as my company.
I wasn’t sure if he was still mine. I had rejected so many proposals just for him, but today, I am afraid! Afraid of my future. Is he testing me? My patience? Or my love for him? It was in November 2004, that this new friend of mine came into my life. He asked me for a date, I felt, what’s wrong, but I still love him, nothing wrong in going for a date, may be I need a change? May be I need someone else, who can give me comfort? Yes, I started liking him. I accepted his friendship, we became very good friends. He made me laugh and always comforted me. He gave me opportunities to make so many new friends, my life changed, but still I was in love with him. He is special for me. I used to call him every now and then. Spend time with him during the weekends. Is he angry with me? Is he angry that I am not spending as much time with him, as I used to? I wasn’t bothered. He ditched me now and then. He went on with others every time leaving me alone.
At times I used to cry, cry for not spending enough time with him. He is still very special for me. I love him. I Love him deep from my heart. It’s high time I need to get married to him. This time I am going propose to him. It’s now or never. I can no longer take risk in my life, he has been avoiding me, but I can’t take it anymore. My folks at home have given me enough time and I have done enough sacrifices for him in my life. Now at last, I have also ditched my new friend who gave me all happiness in my life. This friend made me live independently, he gave me confidence, he opened new avenues for me, he took me to places around the world, but what now, I have ditched him. I have taken a costly decision just for you my love. What is that all I want, I just want to add your name as my initials. My love, this is the last time I am going to propose to you. Wish you accept me and we get married soon. I can’t wait any longer. I want to be called CA. Srinidhi!

LUCK
By Professor Richard Wise man, University of Hertfordshire.
Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experience ill fortune.
I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to contact me. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research and, over the years, I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in experiments.
The results reveal that although these people have almost no insight into the causes of their luck, their thoughts and behavior are responsible for much of their good and bad fortune.
Take the case of seemingly chance opportunities. Lucky people consistently encounter such opportunities, whereas unlucky people do not.
I carried out a simple experiment to discover whether this was due to differences in their ability to spot such opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying: "Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win #250." This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high.
It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it. Unlucky people are generally more tenses than lucky people, and this anxiety disrupts their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else.
They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.
Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.
Towards the end of the work, I wondered whether these principles could be used to create good luck. I asked a group of volunteers to spend a month carrying out exercises designed to help them think and behave like a lucky person. These exercises helped them spot chance opportunities, listen to their intuition, and expect to be lucky, and be more resilient to bad luck.
One month later, the volunteers returned and described what had happened.
The results were dramatic: 80% of people were now happier, more satisfied with their lives and, perhaps most important of all, luckier. The lucky people had become even luckier and the unlucky had become lucky.
Finally, I had found the elusive "luck factor". Here are Professor Wise man's four top tips for becoming lucky:
- Listen to your gut instinct -they are normally right
- Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine
- Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well
- Visualize yourself being lucky before an important meeting or
telephone call
Luck is very often a self-fulfilling prophecy!

Demarkation line
Every person have their own demarkation line. The line that helps them to see things differently. The line that helps them to understand things from the angle of responsibility and emotionally.
Is it true that everyone needs to have that line drawn within them? I somehow feel, i lack that capacity. I take things too emotionally and too personally. There is a limit for empathising with people. Jus nectar words and no actions wont help. If we say something to someone, we should mean it. I feel it should come from our heart and not from lips.
