Every person is a book.

Every person is a book.

some we read only the preface,

some we only see what they have (content),
some we recognize by others feedback,
some we read half way through,
some we read fully,
but fact is we have limitation in understanding everyone
and its only to the person's perception who read them.

and even when we close a book fully read, we wont remember each and everyline
but we remember them as a concept based on our understanding

Every person is a book and only the author understand him (God and himself)

A Nice Article about Love

A Nice Article about Love : ( by Swami Vivekananda )

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

# Give and don't expect.

# Advise, but don't order.

# Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."

Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....

Triple filter

Thhee Sooccrraatteess Trriippllee FFiilltteerr Teesstt


In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem.

One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"

Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

Triple filter?"

That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test.


The first filter is TRUTH. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not.


Now let's try the second filter, the filter of GOODNESS. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"

No, on the contrary..."

”So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true.


You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: the filter of USEFULNESS. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"

No, not really."

”Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"


Friends, use this triple filter each time you hear loose talk about any of your near & dear friends.

A very nice story

An elderly man was travelling with his 25 year old son in the train. Throughout the journey, the young man was wildly ecstatic watching the scenery. Sitting on the window side he exclaimed, "Daddy, why are all trees going behind?" The father smiled and cheered his son. Then the young man again shouted, "Daddy, is that a pond? What are those animals? Look at those houses?" The father again smiled and cheered his son.

Beside the young man one couple was sitting and listening to this incredible conversation between father and son. They were most awkward seeing a 25 year old man behaving like a small child. Then it started raining and some rain drops touched the young man's hand.

He shouted again, "Daddy... it's raining, see the drops of water touching me". The
couple feeling embarrassed could not help themselves asking the father, "Why don't you visit a medical specialist... and see if your son can be treated?"

The father thoughtfully smiled and said," Yes, we are returning from the hospital. It is just today that my son got his eyesight for the first time in life".

We find it so easy to jump to conclusions and pass judgments...
a humble reminder not to draw conclusions until you get all the facts.
