Celebrations!!!!

Celebration means......

Four friends.
Bahar barsaat.
Four glasses of beer.


Celebration means......

Hundred bucks of petrol.
A rusty old bike.
And an open road.


Celebration means......

Maggi noodles.
A hostel room.
4.25 a.m.


Celebration means......
3 old friends.
3 separate cities.
3 coffee mugs.
1 internet messenger.


Celebration means......

Rain on a hot tin roof.
Pakoras deep-frying.
Neighbours dropping in.
A party.


Celebration means......

You and mom.
A summer night.
A bottle of coconut oil.
A head massage.

You can spend
Hundreds on birthdays,
Thousands on festivals,
Lakhs on weddings,
But to celebrate, all you have to do is spend your time with your loved ones. Keep in touch with those who care for you........



I read the above lines somewhere. So much truth in them! In life, we may value a lot of things!! And we dont hesitate doing anything for things we value the most in our life. The difference between value and cost was very well explained by our economics professor. "The cost of a rose may be 1 Re, 2 Rs or 5 Rs. But when a guy gets it from his girlfriend, the value of it cannot be measured." Such a nice example was given to us to explain the difference. So at the end of the day, what matters is the time we spend with what we value the most in life. The money we spend on it, the fun we do with them, the happiness we derive from those occasions are all incomparable. Because when we depart from this world, we will be remembered not for the number of mansions we owned, but for the number of people we helped live. We will be remembered not for the amount of money we earned or spent, but for the number of people who smiled because of us. We will be remembered only by people who are close to us, for we will make the biggest impact only on their lives. And to do it, the most important thing is to invest time with them. And in life, one sure and certain way to cement any relationship is to invest time in it. Thats the biggest celebration in life!!
