Proverbs of Trust

1. Trust is a decision.
2. The bestowal of trust is a gift; its maintenance, a reward.
3. Trust engenders trust; distrust engenders distrust.
4. It is far better to trust and be disappointed in a person than to distrust and be disappointed in life.
5. Trust differs from blindness as love differs from obsession.
6. The proper limit of trust is prudence, not fear.
7. Trust permits risk, which permits change, which permits growth.
8. Trust in the future is called hope.
9. Hope, like all forms of trust, is based on a combination of desire, experience, and will.
10. Without hope, life is not possible.

Brown Eyes

Brown Eyes
That haunt me everywhere I go
Whatever I do, I can’t forget the depth of those pair of eyes
Staring, screening, glaring and accusing me

I learnt to forgive myself
And forget
But the passion and the depth of those eyes
Take away my sleep
And I have lost my peace
But alas those Brown Eyes chase my heart

Is this Nemesis-I ask my maker
And as always there is no answer
The Vast blankness stares back at me
And I wait for for peace
But peace is hard to come by
The pair of Brown Eyes stare back at me....
Screening, glaring and accusing me

Mirabeau Bridge

My Fav poem from graduation Days




Mirabeau Bridge
Translated by Richard Wilbur


Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine
Must I recall
Our loves recall how then
After each sorrow joy came back again
Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

Hands joined and face to face let's stay just so
While underneath
The bridge of our arms shall go
Weary of endless looks the river's flow

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

All love goes by as water to the sea
All love goes by
How slow life seems to me
How violent the hope of love can be

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken
Neither time past
Nor love comes back again
Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

Messages from Cartoons

"There are moments in life when you
miss someone so much
that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!"

(Nemo from Finding Nemo)

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

(Donkey from Shrek)

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the
closed door that we don't see the one,
which has been opened for us.

(The Cyclops from 'Monsters Inc')

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things
you want to do.

(Nemo from the film 'Finding Nemo')

When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.

('Crush' - the turtle from 'Finding Nemo')



May you have enough happiness
to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.

(The Mammoth from the film 'Ice Age')

The brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until
you let go of your
past failures and heartaches.

(Scrat - a squirrel-rat hybrid) -
from the film 'Ice Age')
