For U, MoTheR
I have a dream for u, Mother,Like a soft thick fringe to hide ur eyes
I have a surprise for u, Mother,
Shaped like a strange butterfly..
I have found a way of thinking
To make u happy..
I have made a song n a poem
All twisted in to one..
If i sing, u listen
If i think, u know
I have a secret from everybody in d world, full of people
But i cannot remember how it goes..
It's a song for u, Mother,
With a curl of cloud
N a feather of blue
N a mist
Blowing along d sky..
I'l sing it, under my voice
Sweets-of-my heart,
With love in it,
How I love u!
N u'l love it as if i had,
Sung in a bird's way....
My Red Flower Sunset !!
In d pink light
The small red sun goes rolling, rolling,
Round n round n round at d same height
In perpetual sunset....
Here's my oil painting of d day..Red sails in d Sunset , way out on d sea ...
Once upon a time at evening-light
A lil gal was sad.
There was a color in d sky,
A color she knew in her dreamful heart
N wanted to keep.
She held out her arms Long, long...
N saw it flow away on d wind.
When it was gone
She did not love d moonlight
Or cared for d stars.
She had seen a rose in d sky.
Sometimes i'm sad
Because I hv a thought
Of this lil gal !!!!

I happened to view a video of pia Awal, who was suffering from leukemia @ skool y’day. The video potrayed how leukemia has shattered her dreams making her off-color n bone marrow transplantation is a treatment for it . This video was disclosed to us to acumen d support we cd provide to d ppl suffering from this dreadful disease.
As a part of it, a stem cell match campaign was conducted @ my skool today to find d match for d people suffering from leukemia n r in need of bone marrow or stem cell transplant. I happened to voice out this to one of my close frds y’day ..n I told him tat I wish to register as a donor for it. Then he explicated me …it’s a very complex procedure n u will b carryin pain all thru ur lyf. His words petrified me n I gave up my brain wave’s notion of going to d campaign.but another frd of mine elucidated by putting in..its not really as complex as I picked up n he directed me to go n get my cheek swab done which took me ard 5 mins ..
His words instigated me to make my move for it …n I explored online d bone marrow transplantation procedure and d risks associated with donating bone marrow. I ascertained tat it does not pose any significant problems for d donor as only a small amount of bone marrow is removed. The area where d bone marrow was taken out may feel stiff or sore for a few days, and d donor may feel tired. The donors are back to their usual routine within 2 or 3 days r it may sometimes take up to 3 to 4 weeks. So I thought y don’t I b a donor n went to d fore ..
Lemme throw some lite abt d Natter …
All of us r pretty much aware of leukemia, It is a is cancer tat begins in blood cells resulting in d formation of new cells, when d body does not need 'em, n old cells do not die when they should.
Bone Marrow n Stem cell transplantation is one of d treatments for leukemia. Human stem cell transplantation is used successfully to restore d function of marrow tat has been injured. There r two major types of stem cell transplants: autologous n allogenic. Autologous transplantation uses d patient's own marrow. Such procedures cleanse d marrow of d small proportion of leukemia. An allogenic transplant uses marrow from a donor with d same tissue type as d patient.
More than 35,000 ppl suffering from leukemia r in need of bone marrow or blood cell transplants. While 30 % of patients find a matched donor within their family, the other 70 % must find an unrelated donor. Because tissue traits are inherited, patients are most likely to find a donor within their racial n ethnic community. However, less than 7 % or about 415,000, of d six million donors in d registry r of Asian descent n even fewer are of South Asian descent.
Currently, only 50,000 South Asian Americans r registered as potential bone marrow donors. Since no South Asian countries have yet to officially establish a bone marrow registry, d vast majority of potential donors come from d U.S. With such a small number of registered potential donors, it is extremely difficult to find d right match for a South Asian person who needs a bone marrow transplant. The chances of finding a bone marrow match r between 1 in 20,000 and 1 in a million
Lemme cite the case of Pia Awal, a 29 year-old South Asian-American resident of New Jersey suffered from Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) n was in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant.
Pia Awal went to d emergency room in June 2002 after suffering from a fever tat antibiotics couldn’t wipe out n bone pain tat was getting increasingly worse, d last thing she expected to hear was a cancer diagnosis. N when d doctors delivered d news tat her symptoms were d result of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), d 27 year old’s world shifted.
In 2004 when pia’s leukemia returned, and her only chance of survival was a bone marrow transplant. Thru her website, n d efforts of her friends n family, Pia helped register tens of thousands of new donors! She found a match for herself n is continuing to recruit donors in India n around d world thru the United South Asian Donor Registry (http://www.matchpia.org/).

"Increasing registration in the National Bone Marrow Donor Program dramatically boosts the chances of a match for South Asians around d world in need of bone marrow transplants"
HOW YOU CAN HELP ??
1. Register as a donor. If u'r between 18 n 60, particularly of South Asian descent, please register right away by attending a donor drive near u or online @ www.marrow.org
2. Get others registered. Take ur frd or coworker or neighbor wid u to a donor drive. The more people register, the better the chances of finding a match.
3. Spread the word. There are drives all over the country, so voice out this to everyone u know n ask them to register.
REGISTER AS A DONOR—HELP SAVE SOMEONE’S LIFE!
All it takes is 5 minutes, a cheek swab, which will be tested to match d patient’s tissue, n some paperwork! No blood will be drawn. Please go to d drives n get registered especially if u r an Asian or South Asian descent!
U might be able to save d life of one of d other 35,000 patients waiting for a donor. To find out more about bone marrow or blood cell transplant process, please visit www.marrow.org.

Gaping My ' Sketch ' Book :)
I usually pen down my thoughts or jst grab a pencil n draw whatever i like Whenever I’m low or lonely. Though I never made ny sketches perfectly, I’m under d intuition tat i do make gud ones ..n passed it as my sideline. These days, I hardly make ny sketches unless i’ve nthg constructive to do or when i‘m jaded stiff. More often, I make portraits on d request of my frds.. either for their beloved ones or for themselves. It’s always fun doing it !!Lemme ajar some of my sketches..
This is preeminent of all my sketches n its my pick .. a draft of my Mom.. which i delineated today.It took me several hours to do this. When I was scanning this in my skool, ppl who hv perceived it probed me as whether I was an architecture engineer :D
Isnt it awe-inspiring ??
Here goes my brother’s sketch . He’s a hunk of our family. I like this pic of his, wherein he’s dressed traditionally in a dhoti. Actually , I wanted to make a full portrait of him but I wasn’t sure of making it really gud.so this is for now.well.. I ‘ll definitely make another fabulous one of his soon.
A mother holding her kid

This is my frd wid her dad. I gifted this on her birthday :) She loved it !!
Marilyn Monroe was uniquely beautiful in her own way. This is my own version sketch of her.

A Walk to Home ….Thru a stairway of Tears and a lane of Memories
Whispering a heartwarming factual chronicle….
I happened to join a colloquium on d support for students education n FASFA which was targeted to high school students on Oct 11 @ a skool. Many fruitful dignitaries were present over thr to uncover d keys to doing well in school. One lady among ‘em …divulged stirring wedges of her lyf peering thru her soaked lashes putting a picture tat students can raise to d top, shining above the rest widout d bankruptcy of disappointment.
She whispered her lyf, …. a piece of ecstasy after several pieces of hades....

In an orphan's home one day….
I was like a flower
Just growing wild
Devoid of mommy's kisses
N daddy’s hugs
No one wanted me
I’m no one's child
People came for children
And took them for their own
Then they had a mom n a dad
N a fine home..
I know they liked my golden curls
But when they see I'm physically disabled
They always took some other child
N I was left behind
No mommy’s arms to hold me
Or soothe me when I cried
Sometimes I felt so lonesome
Nowhere to go
With no one to go to in pain
Crying all by myself cursing my life
I Wished tat I could die…
N i wd have walked d streets of heaven
Where all d people like me wd b btr
N just like all d other kids thr wd b a home for me....
She prolonged verbalizing … she was remitted to a mental hospice for 10 yrs after a suicide attempt @ age 13 n was being treated for terror mayhems.
She stud thr for yrs, Tears pouring down & Violently Shaking…Fighting till d end...those beautiful eyes filled wid sadness, begging for a reason, Y she was in ..??

She cried alone in the dark
Soured water mixed in her tears leave a mark
Blonde curls in tangles, nits in her hair
Shadows on walls kept her company thr..
After leaving the sickbay.. Everywhere she looked, the world is oh so Grey!! She knew, its not gonna get brighter unless she stands up n strives for success, she pulled out all d stops successfully n earned a college diploma.
N met someone under d rainbow bridge, where thr’s no more pain or sorrow, just loving arms to hold her close n never faced another nite alone on those cold streets..or behind those hospice bars.

No one’s nipper is gone for today
Somebody loves her, she smiles..
Arms hug her closely, tender d care
Later …. She gyrated as a member of the NJ State Board of Education.
She sacked articulatin ..”I had been troubled beyond measure, broken beyond despair, had been numb beyond stimulation.The situations tat occurred to me r not nythg i deserve. How I’ve come so far is a complete mystery to me. But lyf is a surprise itself, tat does not come wid a guarantee.”

I strongly deem tat these packs of bolts from d blue r upshots for having had a vision in my mind n having exerted thru yrs to make it come true.
I dare to dream these dreams
coz they can
b real if u make them real
Crying in d doorstep
going over footsteps…
One thing to prove
Time to move
N light my fuse
Let me be someone
Reaching a lyf.. full of colors
Let me rise
Make myself wise
No more cries
Been wasting time
Wonderin
Y this lyf is austere ?
Truth hurts, doesn’t it ??
As life takes us down dark paths,
we learn to turn on the light.
The darkness may be brutal,
But there's always a day after night
No one is alone.... Someone, something will come To Take Away the Pain ..
It's easy to feel like u r all alone,
To get lost in a crowd,
Being overshadowed by many,
U don't say a word, not one
U must want to b known,
U must want to b heard,
No one knows d great tat u r..
Speak to ur mind,
Stand up for yourself,
Never let anyone tell u tat u r not strong enough,
Being urself is more tan enough
For brighter skies..
Lets Keep influences on our fingertips,
memories in our hearts.
N Grow strong from d moments,
That take our breath away....
memories in our hearts.
N Grow strong from d moments,
That take our breath away....
Are Gals Complicated N Guys Clueless !??
One of my friends said GIRLS ARE TOO COMPLICATED TO UNDERSTAND !!!! He went on….saying ..they r like math , they r always confused particularly when it comes to relationships . They think n act completely different for us!
I retorted saying we r not complicated.. we only seem complicated when people dont listen to what we say.. u jst have to try understanding us n most guys r not willing to do tat … so its all !!
Man/Woman control panel.This is from a guy's perspective ..Its really hillarious !! Don't u jst hate graphics like this??
But seriously though, there r different gals as well as different guys, some r smarter, some r less smart, I don't think we r really all tat complicated ..however, it's nice to have the 'female logic!' excuse for almost any illogical statements u make :P
It's all too complicated
I retorted saying we r not complicated.. we only seem complicated when people dont listen to what we say.. u jst have to try understanding us n most guys r not willing to do tat … so its all !!
The argument heated up….n he drove it ahead telling .. Y do girls think tat putting up some air of mystery is a good thing? "You can't understand us, we r too complex.".. Y wd u want to b more complex than guys? Is there some kinda competition here tat u didn't tell us about? And what do u get if u win ... guys avoiding u?
Well i said..Nobody is complicated. Even math n science r complicated.. but we understand them with a bit of workin around.. girls r not complicated.. its jst tat everybody wants to understand everything at d first go n tats what makes them think they r complicated.....u jst gotta be smooth n stay tuned for quite some time...
He accounted bak articulating.. I will no more try to understand gals n what they want from a guy? Finally he disclosed d words of his heart …n narrated me ..
Since one year until some weeks back… I was going out with a girl. So I said to myself,Now I’ll try my best to understand my girlfriend. She was a decent girl n I thought she wanted a good guy. I did all on earth to be a good person, a good n loving guy. I would be there when she needed me on MSN Messenger, I would send her d most loving n sincere words by mail. I would make sure to be there when she needed me. I tried my very best : being sincere, being the one she wanted me to be. In fact everytime I changed myself in accordance to what she would be wanting from me. Just to make her happy. That really depressed me coz I tried everything to understand her but couldn’t. Then some weeks back, I could no more…. I pull the plug off and told her I’m going away. I don’t know what? What girls really want from us ??
Guys should be gals to really know who they are. That’s why there’s no way to understand them and why I gave up trying to understand them n I feel better now because I gave up trying to understand girls.
Are gals really tat complicated? This isnt quite knotty n not an unending conundrum …
Man/Woman control panel.This is from a guy's perspective ..Its really hillarious !! Don't u jst hate graphics like this??But seriously though, there r different gals as well as different guys, some r smarter, some r less smart, I don't think we r really all tat complicated ..however, it's nice to have the 'female logic!' excuse for almost any illogical statements u make :P
It's all too complicated
To explain in a verse
It'll take many to explain
What i gotta say….
For Guys,Gals r always complicated
Never make up their mind
They confuse u to hell
Even when u think they're one of a kind
For Gals,Guys r always complicated
Doesn't matter how u look at it
They betray ur friendship
And give u nothing….
And give u nothing….
Everything in life is complicated
U'll notice over d days
U’ve got too many problems
And many people who annoy....
Apparently, females tend to have a larger corpus callosum than males,which is a part of d brain which connects d two hemispheres. Females r more able to balance d emotional n logical sides of their brain. Males only tend to see things in black or white.
Well well .. unlike boys .. I say tat one can understand gals ..A gal only wants attention, care n a pinch of love frm a guy. Gals r not complicated to understand...Give them time, they will return to u lil later if they really like u :P
If u r trying too hard to please them, forgetting to b who u really r…then its totally incorrect. Be urself n if they don’t like tat then they r not for you anyway. Sooner or later u’ll find someone who wants u n not d imaginary person whom u think they want.
All I wanna say is….Guys n Gals need to have their own space to maintain their masculinity n femininity respectively.
Getting anger over someone of opp gender, pondering.. U see things vertically n he does the same horizontally n then getting in to arguments n taking offense , is not the most effective thing to focus on. It's like focusing on things that doesn't matter.
What does matter is ..how guys n gals treat each other n when made an error in judgment, recognize it n commit to do better.Guys n Gals constitute a "whole" when working in harmony.U cant appreciate dark without light, up without down, inner without outer, brutality without tenderness.
‘He’ is d engine with d raw horsepower n ‘She’ is the microprocessor that keeps it all working to maximum efficiency.Neither is better, but both r complimentary n necessary for balance.
Get to know d person of d opposite gender n appreciate him/her for their unique strengths.
Now lets pin our ears to d fabulous trak...Boys like girls -The Great Escape :)
