yesterday....

Yesterday, I was talking about how poeple marry not because they are in love but because of...the chance....( it got me thinking.....)
Let me explain..........
95% it happens that u meet the right person in your life....absolutely right for you.....but for some reason the time is not right for you and you have to let the person go....away from your life.....maybe never to meet again..........
Then when the time is right for you, you meet a person who fits the bill....to be your wife/husband.....THE TIME, THE REASON, everything is right....( that's what you think!!) and you get married......have kids...just like everyone.... you do the same things like everyone else.... you want the same things like everyone else... good happy secure life... its a chance that u take.............it may or may not work out.....its a gamble....but i learned one thng in life.... ONLY FOOLS LEAVE THE GREATEST DESCISON OF THEIR LIVES TO CHANCE...........
others who marry for true love are more happy and secure( a very few % of human beings have the guts the follow their heart others follow what others have done)..................their marriage is not WORK or ADJUSTMENT or, COMPROMISE...............its something that they consciously chose!
there are no regrets......and the relationship grows to higher level of trust commitment and respect.....

a happy ending....

Most people want happy endings to their life....
They are unrealistic about their expectations....
People want good job, good partner, good people around them, good name, they want to do good for society....etc, etc,

They want........ they WANT and they want more...............( including me,Im not a saint!!!!)

but really do people know what they want?I find most people are in a state of confusion...............( including me)
human beings are so confused......perpetually....

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE... na??

some thoughts..on the hyderbad conference..


National level conferences are always very important and informative.
The Chief guest was Ms. Laxmi Vijaykumar, ( member of WHO) and renowned psychiatrist.
She spoke about the findings in the world about suicides and befriending, which was really enlightening.
I was amazed to know that though they spoke about the world, there is no study conducted in Africa regarding mental health and suicides.
when I questioned about it, they told me that Africa being in the process of developing physically has not been concerned too much with mental health programmes.
so I went to the befrienders worldwide website and found that hardly any African countries have help for mental health.
I feel its very important that people in general realise the importance of having a sound mind in a sound body. Both work together to make a healthy human being.
anyways,
Right from the moment WE( the director and two volunteers) stepped into the venue, which was Hotel Central Court,we were pampered.
The hospitality of the Hyderabadis was really COMMENDABLE.
The conference was a wonderful amalgamation of information, interaction and entertainment.
The panel discussion on
maintaining healthy relationships was also an eye opener.
I realised the huge work put in by ROSHNI .Kudos to them!!
The level of commitment and motivation has to be seen to be believed.
I came back feeling inspired to do more for my centre.
It renewed and made me think why I had joined this organisation in the first place.
