ROFL ! Really Rolling on Floor Laughing - Tribute to Charlie Chaplin on his 126th Birthday -16 April

Date:    16 April 2015

ROFL  - Laugh rolling or running !  Just laugh everyday!

16 April -  Happy Birthday Dear Charlie Chaplin

Lying in the bed, with the legs up onto the side wall
Imagine the heavy weighing dame take up a fall
Ha Ha Ha…there goes the giggles all around
Of the children watching this heavy weight fall
Stop did I?  Oh No!  Why would I?

Took the new shoes on a fresh early morning
And ran behind the stars painting the city green
Ran behind me cameras with people laugh
For seeing a rolling ball running around! Ha Ha Ha!

Like a little vibrant teen, I wanted to go on swing
But did not dare with the brook below the twigs
As I sat on the swing and had my own share of fun
I could hear the screeching sounds of breaking swing!
Jumped did I, in a haste, rolling again in the sand beneath
Looked at myself, and could not stop to laugh

As I was full of sand, like the child who played in the beach
Got up without noticing whose watching me around
Went to the ice-cream vendor standing nearby for a scoop
Sugar-starved self-gulped it all in haste making faces
With the cream embracing all sides of mouth and face

My husband started to laugh and showed me the pocket mirror
                                                     I just then noticed how crazy did I look
Tired yet naughty, full of sand on the legs and body
Ice cream melting in my hands and making impact on my face
I was still giggling like a stupid or innocent child
Sometimes, it’s just ok to be what you want to be
Roll over, giggle and make the child in you shine and glee!

Self- Motivation

Date:  16 April 2015

Self Motivation


Motivation is like an inner urge
It’s the mind’s sharpest job
When you feel destroyed
Sulking and completely worthless
Unlock the reservoir of happiness
Re-energize your real self

When you are sad, down and out
That is when you have to count
All the happy moments you had
The precious things you have held
When things around horrify you
Pushing you to saddest moments

Brooding will not make things better
We cannot get rid of sadness and suffering
Cannot erase disappointments and agony
Get rid of the debilitates making us sad
Connect to your inner joy, being happy
Situations that you utmost dislike

Ask yourself how to get rid of this feeling
Sense of acceptance than surrender?
Accept that is done and going to be over
Challenges can be any type
Be it financial, work or health
Begin the accepting the prognosis

What is gone is forever gone
And grieving over it is not fun
Do not deny your mistakes or actions
Accept actions and Life the way it is
Flower of happiness will bloom
Inside you making you relax than gloom

Chase away self-pity, feeling of low
The moment we do this to our self
It is time to be peaceful and calm
Flood gates open with new positive energy
Happiness that seem elusive is all around
Get this self-motivation to make it again
Willing to give life one more real chance!

Motivating self in tougher times
Makes you the stronger person you are!
Inspiring for something to happen to you
It must first happen from within you!!!
Keep telling yourself that ‘all is well’
Repeat ‘I’m doing wonderfully well’
Till will naturally bring in a big smile
Along with it all positive changes in mile

Failure is just an event, not a person
Certainly not the person you wish to be
Bounce back every time you fail
To make yourself happy with yourself!
When things don’t go as per the plan A
Always remember that there can be plan B
It will not affect you anymore as you see

Being happy is the ability to celebrate
What we have despite the circumstances
Stopping agonizing over what we don’t have
The choice is to be happy, naturally be more alive
More motivated to live a fuller meaningful Life!
The antidote to failure, to unmet expectations
Is to motivate ourselves to believe
To try again and keep doing this
As long as we must, till we get results
The results and outcomes that we want!

My Cup of Coffee!

Date:  15 April 2015

My cup of Coffee

 


Dug deep into the files on my computer
Amidst the never ending conference calls
Wanted a minute break to refresh myself
And I found my waiting loving coffee cup
The Coffee!   My ever refreshing drink
Makes my morning with newspapers
A good beginning of every single day
Coffee stimulates my brain to act fast
It gives me the adrenalin to push myself
To any activity of the day with a smile
My love for coffee started since I was a child
Filter Coffee!  Chennai’s very special one
I loved drinking in the bowl that comes with coffee
The love, doesn’t end there, it just goes around
Where ever I traveled, I wished to taste flavors
Glad I could drink so much of coffee in life
Flavors of chocolate, vanilla, Cappuccino
Espresso, Latte, Mocha, Dapple or just black
Across the globe, around the coffee makers
I would always come back to my home made
Filter Coffee…that I cherish every morning
A stimulator, a taste enhancer, honest love
For a good morning with the news paper
Is a strong hot fuming fresh filter coffee
