But All was not lost!

But early one morning the fever left me as mysteriously and unexpectedly as it had come, and I fell into a quiet sleep. Then my parents knew I would live, and they were very happy. They did not know for some time after my recovery that the cruel fever had taken my sight and hearing; taken all the light and music and gladness out of my little life.

But I was too young to realize what had happened. When I awoke and found that all was dark and still, I suppose I thought it was night, and I must have wondered why day was so long coming. Gradually, however, I got used to the silence and darkness that surrounded me, and forgot that it had ever been day.

I forgot everything that had been except my mother's tender love. Soon even my childish voice was stilled, because I had ceased to hear any sound.

But all was not lost! After all, sight and hearing are but two of the beautiful blessings which God had given me. The most precious, the most wonderful of His gifts was still mine. My mind remained clear and active, "though fled fore'er the light."

Today

Consciousness ... It doesn't exist in the past or in the future, but in the present. And this is where we decide how we're going to get on with the rest of our lives.

Life is always being reborn, and with each "conscious moment" comes a new beginning.

It's just like they say, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life."

Relinquish Control. and by the way, you never had it

Enjoy whatever happens because what's happening is a part of your life experience. Become an observer of other lives. That's their experience. Learn from it. Do your best and keep improving it. Just relinquish control.


Things happen the way they are meant to. Everything that's part of your life experience will show up. So chill and enjoy yourself. Don't crib about what did not happen. What did not happen was what was not meant to happen. 


The only thing that matters is reality caused by about complex concoction of decision, hard work and the most important element-serendipity.


We only control the input. Serendipity controls the output.

the beginning perhaps

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished.
That will be the beginning. Louis L’Amour

Pablo Picasso

When I work I relax; doing nothing or entertaining visitors makes me tired!


Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

The dead yesterdays and Unborn Tomorrow

Let's live each day as the first and the last day of life.

Yesterdays are dead. There is no tomorrow. Live in day tight compartments.

Nelson Mandela

I am an optimist. If it is by nature or by nurture, I do not know. Part of being optimistic is keeping your head to the sun and your feet moving forward.

There were dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested but I could not and I would not give in to despair for that meant defeat and death.

If I try a 100 times and I fail a 100 times, do you think I am ever gonna get up?! If I fail, I try again an again and again...
