THE EXPECTATIONS!!



Hello friends,

In past few daz dere was lots of discussion on "Expectations"...and believe me it never ends between me and my friend..

The very first question that arises is- What exactly is expectation??
Well as far as i feel "it is to believe that other person will do something without even telling that person that he/she has to do that thing".It is such an irony that many times it happens also...cos expectations are made on the basis of past experiences...it is build on the past actions/reactions of the individual..but when belief doesn't comes true it hurts the person very badly...

Our life is full of expectations either we are expecting something from the other or someone else is expecting something from us...

The very basic expectation arises between a child and his/her parents...both of them have their own expectation from each other..and this forms a strong bonding between them...and here the relation develops...and then different feelings of love,anger, happiness everything comes into existence...

When we are small we are taught so many things..after the things have been taught it is automatically expected out of us...and if we dont do it we even get punished for that..And this teaches us to fulfill other expectations..his thing continues in our whole life..Similar expectation always exist..even we also form the similar expectations...

It is the expectations that help us gain so many things in our life..It makes us a perfect person in whatever we do..the higher the expectations the better the result..A very famous quotation
"Always aim for the sky, even if you miss you will land among stars"

It is so true and helps us in achieving our goals...Our goals are nothing but the expectations of ours from ourselves..

We start developing expectation from everyone we come through..We have expectations from our teacher, our friends, our colleagues and moreover we always expect general etiquettes from everyone(consciously or unconsciously)... Even if we meet any stranger and say hello to him we expect him to reply back...if he/she doesn't replies we dont like it..

When expectations are not fulfilled it results in all the negative waves inside us..We started complaining, feeling bad, hating and everything...At extreme cases it results in conflicts also..

The question that arises is why do we get hurt when someone doesn't fulfill our expectations...Can we really stop expecting in our life...?And how to control negative feelings when doesn't fulfill our expectations...

As far as i feel its all our creation and destruction..So it can be controlled by us..

I request readers to please give your views on the above questions...

GAIN vs PAIN




Hello Friends,

Gain and Pain are the two very important aspects of our life.. They always accompany us in our life journey together…However their impact may be different…And the one who has more impact makes it visible while the other silently follows…

Its often said impact lasts for a span of time, although that span of time differs from person to person some takes it for few seconds while others takes it for years.. It totally depends on the situations of the incident..

Its very interesting to know that Gaining is always an aim in everyone’s life…Each person works to gain something or the other in their life…as a child we try to gain all sorts of toys for us, then we try to gain more and more marks in our class to gain good position in the class,then our first cycle, our first bike, our first mobile, our first job, first salary and the list goes on and on…

And this is something which makes us keep moving in our life.. It adds to all the adventurous and thrilling experiences in the life and makes our life interesting…And this feeling gives us strength to carry all the pains in our life…

The uniqueness of Gain and Pain is that Gain adds flow to the life while Pain puts a brake to the journey of life…Sometime the brakes are very significant and its very hard to again come to the flow but its not impossible.. And I think that’s the key to overcome this break..
I often find people discussing so much about their pain and they make their life miserable thinking about the same..They are never able to come out of their pain to see what they are gaining out of it…

However it’s a hard fact that Gain and Pain always accompany each other..And anyone who has gained something in their life must have also been through lots of pain…And that’s called hardship which is a part of every one’s life…

Gain and Pain companionship can be found everywhere...lets take some example...lets take stock market..It is the place where we see most gains and pains...When the index rises(gains the points) its gain for some and pain for those who sold their stocks at lower rate...and the same scenario when index loses the points gain and pain both follows...
Their companionship is mostly seen in Relationship...All relations are full of Gains and Pains...And it depends on the duo involved in the realtion to get along with it..Thats why its often difficult to have a sound realtionship...

I have been through the number of stories of successful person…They all have experienced so much pain in their life to get to the position where they are.. But they never let their pain come in between the path of gaining their Goal because they always looked for what they are gaining and made pains their companion on their way to Gain

Well thats the true spirit to move ahead in our life...
Lets keep gaining and enjoying our life always...May God bless us!!

MUSIC, SOUL OF OUR LIFE…






Hello Friends,

It may sound like a very general topic and we can find almost everyone writing on this topic and the reason behind this is that music is really close to everyone’s heart…Music is true soul of everyone.. Moreover we often find almost everyone’s hobby as music…

Its beauty is that it binds everyone in its different colors…Music has every color that corresponds to the different colors of our life.. In fact different shades of life have given birth to different colors of music…

At times my mind questions about the origination of music.. We can easily observe that, music or in better term sound is created by every tiny particle on this earth…Here is one more interesting thing sound and music.. Do they differ from each other...I feel yes.. A sound that touches one’s heart is a music.. And that is the biggest difference between the two so every sound cant be a music..

We all are aware about Our Nature and its Beauty…Music is the most beautiful thing blessed to us by Nature.. A sound of a drop, rainfall, waterfall, wind, river, birds, animals etc. all belongs to Our Nature…They truly define the rhythm of our life

There is a very unique relation of us with music and sound.. Once I was watching Discovery Channel, the program was related with the development of child in mother’s womb.. They told a very interesting fact that a baby in the mother’s womb is associated with different sounds like heart beat, water sound etc... Music is such an integral part of our life..

Moreover, we all are born singers…:) We start singing the moment we take birth i.e. making music of crying. And that first cry of a baby brings such a big smile on the face of each family member. It takes away all the pains of the mother who just went through such a large pain while delivering the baby…:) although later that same crying music becomes a headache for everyone…:) i.e. a music is no more music and just remains an irritating sound..

Our music lessons begin with the lullabies of our mom who always sing it to make us sleep.. I feel this is the reason that we still enjoy music during our bed time…Our journey with music always continues in our life.. We can find ourselves making sound on the table of our class, whistling on our favorite tune or for some other purpose ;), making different sounds out of our mouth, with the spoons and forks, with pencils, with our claps(very often in cheering up someone or some team)and the most irritating sound of our cycle or bike or car horn( although it helps us a lot but really irritates the others who listens it).. :)

We are associated with music in our daily life in the form of our mobile ring tone, our door bell, our vehicle horn, with a long playlist stored in our PC, Lappi, iPod, music player, mobile and all time favorite FM.. It is the favorite entertainment is everyone’s life..

Music is really a vast and Deep Ocean and somewhere someone is always in search of new pearls and shells…No doubt we have such a diverse range of music and will keep on having them ..

Keep enjoying the different colors of life with its corresponding music…

STORIES, A JOURNEY, A GUIDE, A COMPANION OF OUR LIFE...



Hello Friends...


Stories!! What are they..?? I think a narration of something which had already happened or something imaginary..hmmmmmm...whatever it be, but if observed carefully we ll find it so close to everyone's life...


Stories begins with our life beginning..In fact our life is itself a story...A small child mite not know the meaning of a story but his life's understanding begins with a story..His everyday, every hour is in itself a story..I remember my childhood days, whenever I used to come back from school I have so many stories to tell to my Mumma..And still I always have so many stories to talk about..


Each person in our life makes one story for us..Whether it be a friends or a stranger..Each hour each minute of a persons forms one story..Just imagine how many stories are formed in the whole world with such a vast population...No doubt we have so many story books available in the market...:)


Our Dreams are also a story and at times we get so much involved with them that we forget that those were only dreams..


From our very childhood we are told stories for each and everything..It begins with small poems, which in itself is a form of short story..Our parents and grandparents always have so many stories for us...And we come so used to them that we always feel like listening them...It is a source of entertainment for us..


We develop different feelings with the help of different stories...Stories forms the emotional basis of our life...We are told brave stories to become brave, ghost stories to create a feeling of scare in us, we are also told stories of successful persons to become like that person...Its like our life is a CLAY and the finished product depends upon the type of stories told to us..


Violent impact of stories can be seen in case of terrorists..Innocent people develops so much hatred and violence with the help of false stories told to them by their masters..Their whole life changes and they become ready to kill anyone...


In our school also our each and every subject is a story..and when there is no story behind something, it often becomes difficult to understand it...For example, for most of the people Maths is often most boring subject cos they never find any story behind it...However, this is not the case with me, Maths has always been my favorite..:)


Not only in school, stories continues in our life for ever n ever..It never stops..At every stage of our life we will find a story of someone guiding us and defining the path in front of us..Our views, our perception, our feelings, our life everything depends on the type of stories we have heard in our life...


We are often asked about our Role Model, who is a person whose story has inspired us the most..Again a story...And there is not a single story but infinite stories which defines our lives..


Every story forms a new story...Bcos the moment in which that story is told corresponds to a new story...


Stories have also provided a medium for earning due to its best quality i.e. SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT..In fact the biggest medium...Movies, Serials, News, Cartoons everything is based on a story...thats so interesting na...


One more interesting thing is that "Everything in our life is a story"..At times our life writes a story, at other times we search a story by various means(talking,reading,watching TV etc..)


Oh how could I forget..My blogs are also a form story only...:)


Keep reading and keep enjoying....

ONE MOVE IN OUR LIFE...

Hello Friends,


Looking at my topic you all must be guessing its something related with the CHESS game..It is the most interesting Game and at many times it co-relates to our life also..But it is not the case here.. Although as a MOVE is important in a Chess Game similarly it is also important in our life game..


However, I picked up this Subject from my previous article "Biggest weakness or Greatest Strength"..It was just a small example how ONE MOVE can help us in converting our weakness into strongest strength..However ONE MOVE can do a number of wonders in our life..


Most of the success stories defines the importance of this ONE MOVE..Every success is marked by ONE MOVE of the person taken in his/her life..I feel that One Move is taking a step forward to do something in our life..In better terms, ONE MOVE is BELIEVING IN OUR DREAMS AND WORKING FOR MAKING IT REAL..The term FORWARD is most important..Bcos that helps us in continuing with our MOVE and not stopping in between or going back..Most of us suffer from few problems..Either we are not able to take the initiative for work, or if we start it, we often leave it in between and think of restarting again (i.e. going back)..However, if we always keep in mind our ONE MOVE (i.e. taking step forward) we will definitely reach the end and SUCCESS will be ours..


In our life, we often face the situations where we have to make a MOVE to decide on something..which at times proves to be rite and at other times wrong..ONE MOVE can change our whole life ...ONE MOVE can either make or break our life..We seek advice from our elders and colleagues..But the ultimate role is played by our own Intuitions..If we ll go by our Intuitions we ll always succeed..but if we ll go against it our failure is sure..


By being true to oneself we can make the best decision in any circumstances..and once the decision is made what matters is our ONE MOVE..


So, how importantly you make your ONE MOVE..??

BIGGEST WEAKNESS OR GREATEST STRENGTH....!!


Hello friends,

Our strongest weakness can be our greatest strength…We all hardly realize this fact and feel miserable about it..


I came through a very interesting story of a 10 years old small boy, who lost his left arm in a car accident..It is true example of above fact…

He wished to learn judo despite of this weakness.. The boy began his classes with an old Judo Master..He was doing extremely well there but in 3 months his master taught him only one Move..And he was quite surprised of it..So he asked his master, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"

His master replied, "This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you ever need to know.." Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher the boy kept training..

Several months later, the master took the boy for his first tournament..Surprising himself the boy easily won his first two matches..The third match proved to be difficult, but after sometime his opponent became impatient and charged, the boy deftly used his ONE MOVE to win the match... Still amazed by his win, the boy was now in final..

This time his opponent was much bigger, stronger and much experienced...For the time being, the boy appeared to be over matched..Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a timeout..He was about to stop the match when the master intervened and said "Let him continue"...

Soon after the match resumed his opponent made a critical mistake..he dropped his guard..Instantly boy used his MOVE to pin him...the boy won the match and the tournament...He was the CHAMPION...

The boy still amazed by his win, asked his Master " How did I won the match with only ONE MOVE"

Master answered..You won because of two things..First, you have mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of Judo..And second, the only known defense for that MOVE is for your opponent to grasp your LEFT ARM...

The boy's biggest weakness had become his greatest strength.....

We never realize the fact that “if we properly work on our weaknesses it can prove to be the greatest strength for us”..

We are always running for what we have not received instead of being strengthening our strength by strength. Isn't it....?.

Keep reading and enjoy HAPPINESS & JOY............!!

THE ONLY CONSTANT THING IN LIFE IS CHANGE...!!






hello friends,

"The only constant thing in life is change"... now a days, I find this quotation used everywhere...whether it be a movie, any TV show or newspaper article. Everywhere I encounter this quotation so thought of choosing it this time. Does it really has so much significance to be used everywhere..

What is change?? This is the first ques which arises. I think something which is different from the earlier in a particular respect..

Since our childhood, we find a number of changes in our life if we closely observe it.. Our thinking pattern changes, our goals changes, our environment changes, our circle changes, our talk changes, our responsibilities changes, our overlook changes, our dressing style changes, our frequency of doing things changes, our government changes, our boss changes etc. etc.. Even each day is different than the previous one.. Each passing year in our school changes our class from 1 to 2 to 3 and so on and similarly our teachers and course.. Some of us also change our school so our colleagues also changes and our friend's list keep on increasing.. Our role in life also keeps changing from a child to a son/daughter to a father/mother to a grand father/grand mother and so on.. And on professional level also from student to an employee to employer and so on..

Change is something which is desired by us always.. If we observe, we can find ourselves saying "LETS DO SO AND SO FOR A CHANGE"...Like, for a change we love to try out new items in our food menu, for a change we love go for a long drives, we love to change our wardrobes from time to time, we choose to go for a holiday for a change from our homely environment, we always look for new ways of entertainment..

Change is a human nature and we always require it from time to time.. But as we grow up we start restricting ourselves to the changes in our life.. And this restriction keeps on increasing as one grows up.. It is very commonly observed in old people.. They love to live their life on a preset pattern.. They often forget the fact that Change is the process of life and at times it was the most desirous thing in their life..

At many times it really becomes difficult to adapt to a change.. Especially when we are emotionally attached to something.. At that time, our need for change vanishes and we feel its so easy to say this thing( that change is the constant thing in life) but so difficult to accept it.. We also see it as a great excuse given by someone.. But change always proves to be a process of life..

If we look at our life, we will really find "CHANGE AS THE ONLY CONSTANT THING IN OUR LIFE".. It is need of change that has brought us to the world we are living in today.. And it is the only thing which aspires us to move ahead in life..

It is such an irony that we always work for a Change in our life..Every person has a COMMON GOAL in their life and that is TO CHANGE SOMETHING IN THEIR LIFE...or we can say the CONSTANT GOAL IN ONE'S LIFE IS CHANGE...

Wooooooh..I was thinking of its significance.. And here our whole life work on the funda of CHANGE.. :)

Who holds our remote control??








Hello Friends,


Once I was reading a book and I came through a very beautiful fact..So thought of sharing with you all..

Very often we get disturbed by someone’s comment or someone’s actions.. If someone says something good about us we feel extremely happy but if he says something bad we get disturbed…its instantaneous.. it’s a human nature..at times it has such a major impact on us... we get so much disturbed that everything gets affected... it takes much of time to come out of it..at times our reactions are so spontaneous and harsh that we regret afterwards...I have also faced a number of such situations in my life..

Doesnt it sounds like someone else is having the remote control of our mind..he/she changes our mood with the help of their words and actions..its so easy for them to control us..

We are most affected by those persons to whom we strongly like or dislike..If we like a person and he says us something its easy to come out of it...But someone to whom we strongly dislike affects us much more in comparison to former..

We never realized we had given so much of powers in others hand..At home we always fight for the Remote control of TV with our siblings and the one who owns it rules over the TV..

So how come we can give our mind remote control in someone else's hand atleast to that person for whom we hardly care...Getting affected by a person means we give so much importance to that person and his actions..and one thing is for sure we never wanna give importance to the person to whom we dislike or we hardly care... So if we realise this fact we can control our reactions and save us from getting hurt..

This fact has really helped me a lot in overcoming a number of situations in my life..I used to be very emotional but now I know who controls of my REMOTE CONTROL.. :)

What about you guys...???

TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STARS!!



TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STARS ,

HOW I WONDER WHAT YOU ARE…

UP ABOVE THE WORLD SO HIGH,

LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE SKY..


TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STARS,

A PART OF EVERYONE’S LIFE YOU ARE..

EVERYONE WANTS TO HAVE YOU IN LIFE,

OH THEY FORGET YOU ARE THERE IN THE SKY..


AS WE GROW UP, WE WANT TO BE A STAR,

WANT TO TWINKLE IN THE FIELD WE ARE..

SOMETIMES WE TWINKLE SOMETIMES WE FAIL,

OH OUR LIFE IS SIMILAR TO YOUR CASE..


A CLOUD CAN COME AND HIDE UR SHINE,

BUT IT CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY UR SMILE,

AS IT PASSES WE AGAIN SEE UR SMILE,

IS OUR CASE SIMILAR TO YOUR LINE..


SMILE, AND GET BACK A SMILE,

THIS IS THE WAY YOU WORK IN YOUR LIFE..

EVERYONE LOVES TO SEE UR SMILE,

OH THAT IS THE REASON YOU ARE EVERYONE’S LIKE…


IN THE 24 HOURS OF THE DAY,

YOU SHINE FOR FEW HOURS OF THE DAY…

BUT WHEN YOU SHINE YOU BRIGHTEN UP THE SKY,

THAT IS THE TRUTH OF EVERYONE’S LIFE…


WE LIVE A LIFE SIMILAR TO YOURS,

I FEEL SO GREAT GOT TO KNOW..

NOW I UNDERSTAND Y R WE SO ATTACHED,

YOU PORTRAY ME AND I PORTRAY THOU..


Our childhood begins with the shweet poem of TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STARS!! Its the first poem on which we also learn to dance or act...This is the poem which one never forgets in his/her life and it forms a relation between the stars and the person from their very childhood...mere twinkling of stars bring smile on every child's face and in this way we form a relation with the stars..we start talking to them and get reply also by their tickling..n then the journey begins with the stars in our life…in schools teachers appreciates our work by giving stars in our notebook..3 stars are considered to be the best and every child is crazy about getting them..as we move ahead we get the recognition like star of the class, star of the school, star of the college, star employee, star company and so on..our lives are full of stars everywhere… I feel every person’s life must have a story related with the stars...


Similar is the case with me also..my journey with stars also begin in the same way thru poem, getting starts in copies and then getting a star badge if we stood among top 5 in our class..I also love to watch stars for hours and hours since my childhood...I also have a strange relation with them..I got more interested in them when i learn about our Universe in my class 9th syllabus..i started searching the various constellations in the sky..and then began talking wth them..I spend hours in my balcony or on terrace watching and talking to them..they gave all the answers to my questions and takes away all the worries..it used to be such a great time..i had also seen moving stars in the sky daily..it was more of a wait for the moving star that compels me to spend such a long time with them...


There is also so much about the shooting stars n making a wish from them...and our wishes coming true..i also got to learn one theory..its really funny but really satisfying to keep our belief alive..it tells that whenever any star shoots out it shows a person is going from earth to heaven..so if u make a wish that person is on that shooting star and he ll carry ur wishes directly to the god and god will fulfill them....ha ha ha...so funny na...


As i grew up i found so many inferences drawn with stars everywhere...i started noticing its use everywhere..anyone who is at the top is a star..every person who leaves this world also becomes a star... we are always told "to aim for sky even if u miss it u ll land among the stars"...every success story is a star story..


The biggest irony is “everyone aspires to become a star in their life which they ultimately become when they die”


Stars play such an important role in everyone's life..isnt it..what i really like best about them is they always brings smile on my face whenever i see them..they are so beautiful..a clear sky with full of stars is one of the best experience in one's life...

Be happy always!!


Hello friends,

Be Happy, its one way of being wise
...We often find a number of quotations on happiness everywhere...

But at times we feel, its so easy to say to be happy but its really difficult to be happy..We really feel so irritated when someone comes to us and say try to be happy when our mood is off or we are in some mess.. at times we also say to them "Yaar apna gyan band karo" or "yeh gyan kahi aur ja ke do"..Or we simply follow the principle of listening from one ear and taking it out from other... "How can someone be happy all the time?", this is the question which always comes in our mind..
At manier times, when we really enjoy and have lots and lots of fun, we often think "we had so much of fun now something bad is about to happen"...And the next moment something bad happens...There are a number of such incidents in our life..

Another question which comes in our mind is "What exactly is this happiness??" Why everyone speaks so much about it??

I was also searching for the answer to this question...I have been through a number of inspirational books..There also i always find this gyan only that just by being happy we can solve all the problems of our life..Then somewhere its said to observe my day and find out in whole day how much time out of 24 hours we were happy and enjoyed the time especially when we are sad...And believe me it was miracle..when i started thinking about the time i was happy my that time also rejoiced with those memories...And i was again back to the same state of happiness..Then I realised one thing whenever we have smile on our face that is happiness..Take any moment of your life when u really felt u were happy u ll definately see yourself smiling...Smiling not only on your face but also inside your heart..Thats why we often find smiling faces or smilyes added with the happiness quotation..

This has helped me in realising one thing, its so easy to be Happy in our life...:) Just by smiling... :) Because that is the state of happiness and we can have this state at any time and everytime...

whooo i m smiling now.. :) hope a smile comes on your face after reading this...

Keep smiling and be Happy always... :) Hope it doesnt sounds like a gyan anymore... :) ha ha ha....

Vodafone Zoozoos...





Zoozoo is the name given to these characters used by VODAFONE in their new Advertisement Campaign.

They are launched with the starting of IPL 2009 season and each over was followed by these zoozoos world which covered everything from love tips to cricket updates, to shopping to roaming, to mailing to travelling etc conveying the different value added services offered by Vodafone..Very beautifully designed and executed... Vodafone is always famous for their Ad Campaign previous was related to shweet PUGS CHITIKAS..

Few days back my dad told me the beauty of these zoozoos.. They aren’t animated characters... They are human beings who were made to wear body suits and are shot lively...I was really surprised to hear him bcos they always gave me impression of animated characters. Then one day i got a mail stating Vodafon ZooZoos won PETA awards..This really attracted me and I felt like googling and knowing more about them...

Filmmaker, Nirvana Films, has directed the commercials, and reveals that the Zoozoos were a big challenge to create. The practical aspects of how they will move, talk, gesticulate and emote were very important. Essentially, costume design and artwork were crucial elements. “It took me three weeks of pre-production to understand how it will work,” says Varma. There were two fabrics that were considered for the body suits, and one was rejected for it had too many wrinkles and was shiny. The wrinkles would have shown when the characters moved, thereby shattering the illusion of animation. “So we chose the more practical, thicker fabric,” Varma explains. The production team divided the outfit into two parts: the body and the head. The body part of the outfit was stuffed with foam in some places, while the head was attached separately. To make it look bigger than a human head, a harder material called Perspex was used, which in turn was stuffed with foam (with scope for ventilation). If one wishes to understand the size of this head, here’s a fact: a human head would typically reach up to the mouth level of this giant Zoozoo head. “We kept the hands and legs thin, which is why we cast women – and occasionally children – wearing the costumes,” says Varma. The thin limbs, contrasted with big bellies and a bulbous head, all add to the illusion that these creatures are ‘smaller’ than humans. Sets were created to suit the size of the Zoozoos. Concept Note: Zoozoos are not animated characters. They are human beings who were made to wear body suits. The films were shot by Nirvana in Cape Town, South Africa.

woooooooooooo...what a concept and work..HATS OFF!!

Really vodafone are best in their ad-campaign..And really a great time to launch..On survey revealed that Vodafone ads are among the most watched videos on You and there are over 50,000 Zoozoo fans on Facebook.Me TOO!!!!!

SMILEYS!! A true form of life..


Hello Friends,

Smiley or a Happy Face is a stylish representation of smiling human face by a yellow color circle(generally) with eyes and lips on them.

Smileys, although so small still add so much meaning to everything..They represent our feelings and expressions so well.We all often chat and mail our friends and love to add everywhere. They are becoming an important part of our life.They present us lively in front of others to whom we are talking online..They also refresh our mood and takes away all the dullness. We find smileys everywhere Posters, T-shirts, Caps, Cups, Cards, Stickers etc. They are so expressive that everyone loves to own them in everything. They are most commonly used with phrases like " KEEP SMILING" or "HAVE A HAPPY DAY".

The most commonly used smileys are :) and :( which clearly shows the two extreme moods of persons which keep flipping whole day. Although now a days we have smileys for all the different moods of a person.

The very earliest known examples of the graphic are attributed to Harvey Ball, a commercial artist in Worcester, Massachusetts with the aim to boost up the morale of the employees. It was further used in 1963, in a children cartoon series titled The Funny Company airing on television, which featured a version of the smiley on the caps worn by the animated children.

The graphic was popularized in the early 1970s by Bernard and Murray Spain, who seized upon it in a campaign to sell novelty items. The two produced buttons as well as coffee mugs, T-shirts, bumper stickers and many other items emblazoned with the symbol and the phrase "Have a happy day"

Today we can find thousands and thousands of smileys all over the web offered by different sites. Through their discovery we can realize the diverse moods and expressions of human beings.

Smileys are my personal favorite and I love to add smileys to my signature many times. They have always helped me in my gloomy days and happy days. They have always inspired me to keep smiling in every situation and winning them :)

Beauty of Life



Hello everyone,

This is my first post and i had chosen such a difficult title. Just felt like expressing myself and my experiences. For me beauty of life starts with the start of the day. When we woke up early in the morning it starts with the humming of birds with the cold breeze flowing and making you feel so fresh.Then sun rises marking the start of the day and asking us to get along with our daily routine.

Then we get involved in our daily activities which slowly slowly takes our freshness but in our daily activities we face few things which again rejuvenates us like talking with our friends, or any joke, or any activity of our colleagues or our own activity or delicious food etc..Our whole day is full of ups and downs in everything like our mood, our work, our actions reactions etc. We face all sorts of feelings in a single day. And as we reach towards the end of the day we all totally get tired and then go to sleep. This is also a unique experience as we get lost in a totally different world and which present us a new beauty of life.

Our life is full of diversities and beauties. It all depends on us how we see the things in our life. And if we start looking at beauty of everything we will definately find beauty everywhere..
