"Borrowed garments don't suit well."I have always kept this statement sacred.Because I believe that if an individual has a plan to overcome something,then the willingness to do it must come from within.To write a Success story, we need three ingredients-a willingness to work hard, a burning desire to achieve success and an undying spirit of quest.A successful man is a person who is regarded as an exemplary figure in his particular field.Success is a hard taskmaster.Ask,the entrepreneurs of yesteryears who have become business tycoons of today,their success stories and I guess they agree that.Their struggle is filled with numerous anecdotes of determination andhardship.
When I began writing this blog, I had a particular girl in my mind.And It is my belief that she will redial herself in her normal mode.And for which this blog is of little help.As she is one who doesnot need to read this blog.
What do you tell a person who lacks motivation but has the ability to motivate?What do you tell a person who lacks knowledge but has one of the best brains?The best thing is to advise.Advice is an un-countable noun.It literally means to offer a guide for action/conduct."Men give advice; God gives guidance."When you said you needed both,I guess you were making a good choice.You are your best guide and best thing I can utter is Be yourself.Let the burning desire in you to achieve greater heights remain unsubsided for a long time from now.

Why do we fall in Love?
"Love is the beauty of the soul." --St. Augustine
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
To find the roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches,to have found that we were one tree and not two."
Why people fall in love?
It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mystery why some love fails.
Sometimes, hopefully at least once in your life - the gift of love will come to you in full flower. Take hold of it and celebrate it in all inexpressible beauty. This is the dream we all share. More often, it will come and take hold of you, celebrate you for a brief moment, then move on.
If you find yourself someone in love with you but you don't love him back, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage; do not cause pain. How you deal with love is how you deal with yourself. All our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different.
If you fall in love with another, and he falls in love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it nor to
assess blame. Let it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know in time.
Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it
comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away. Give it back to the person
who brought it alive in you. Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit. Give it to the world around you in any way you can.
Love has its time, its own season, its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do. Love always has been and
always will be a mystery.

The World is the Heaven for Me
The World is the Heaven for Me
The most audacious pursuit of a human being is happiness. Happiness takes all the definitions according to the capability and emotional integrity of a human. So the act to find and fight for it becomes more important than the performance itself. All life, man has to pass this acid test. The acid test when all the human qualities taught and inherited are at loggerheads with each other. When one wants to be honest, he is tested for his courage to survive with his wits in a world where one deceives the other for personal gains. When he searches for a true love, his love never understands the meaning of “true” and gets engulfed in all constant turmoil of adjustments (that still rock the foundation of the relation). Ralph Waldo Emerson in his poem titled “A Nation’s Strength” writes that a nation’s foundation is built upon truth and honesty where people toil hard burning midnight’s oil. I believe that, Love or for that matter, Life is an institution like a nation and happiness becomes the citadel of the foundation. And every individual living strives firmly to find his place, his heaven.
We, as citizens of the world, wonder at the achievements of the great men the world has seen over the ages. The quality of their work, in improving human needs, needs applause and recognition, and maybe the reason for them being famous lies with this human notion to celebrate the achievement par excellence. And this sense of celebration is the first form of pursuit of happiness. For knowingly or unknowingly, these great men become inspiration to generations of humankind.
When do we start learning about Religion?I hope the first knowledge that we get is from our parents.They make us believe that It is good and virtuous to be religious.So unknowlingly or knowingly ,we start praying..and thats where I think the brainwash started..Though there was no intention of the parent to convince anything to the child,but still in his heart he always want the child to be one as he is and become acceptable..for it is the rule in this world..to be a normal being and if you deviate a little you become crazy..so its those crazy people who shaped this world..I would be happy to be crazy if I can make this world a better place,a happier place to live.
So this world is a heaven for me.
And I seek my heaven in My Love.

MANIPUR-my country,my land
Manipur is my homeland.I am a manipuri lad.God has blessed me.This small yet picturesque land between the hills is indeed one of the heavenly abode that one always wish for.Whenever I think of my birthplace,I always remember the poem of Ralph Waldo Emerson,"A Nation's Strength".This poem makes you think on the line of patroitism as well as self discipline.Patroitism must not be confused with chauvinism..which takes many forms like linguistic,religious,regional.Patroitism is above all this.It means the honesty and dedication that an individual can put forth for the rise of his land and no where does it involve selfishness and jealousy,because everything takes time to grow and one has to be patient enough.We cannot build a nation in a fortnight.
A NATION'S STRENGTH
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What makes a nation's pillars high
What makes a nation's pillars high
And it's foundations strong?
What makes it mighty to defy
The foes that round it throng?
It is not gold.
Its kingdoms grand
Go down in battle shock;
Its shafts are laid on sinking sand,
Not on abiding rock.
Is it the sword?
Ask the red dust
Of empires passed away;
The blood has turned their stones to rust,
Their glory to decay.And is it pride?
Ah, that bright crown
Has seemed to nations sweet;
But God has struck its luster down
In ashes at his feet.
Not gold but only men can make
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honor's sake
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly...
They build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
Its worth mentioning here,the Loktak lake for its breathtaking beauty.The location of the lake is in symphony and has deeper meaning considering that it is in the valley surrounded by all the hills that signifies the vastness and serenity of the place.
Manipuri Dance is of various forms and each style is unique to depict the devotion and grace.

de ja vu
The illusion of having already experienced something actually being experienced for the first time.An impression of having seen or experienced something before.....de ja vu..leaving all other projections...i would like to take the path from the realms of reality...after all, Time doesn't exist and the relation between space and time make us remember that famous scientist Albert...What i want to tell you is that if have the above feelings of seeing things beforehand...then it is a gift for you to use it nobody has the ability and you must not undermine urself,rather you must consider urself more gifted than others...as I say this I remember the movie series of final destination....I don't beleive in that.
For me,the present is more important than the future which I have never seen.Though change is the only constant but once in a while,the mind plays trick with me that I have a feeling of seeing things in my dreams or somewhere which are bound to happen..though the details may be confussing but I am sure that I have seen that sometime before.Everyone feels this way..its just we don't consider it important to remember or discuss for that matter.
