Hope is the physician of each misery-Irish proverb
According to Wikipedia/Wikiquote
Hope leads to patience, courage, and joy. It makes us stable, and we are saved by hope. It is one of the three things which last: Faith. Hope, and Love
Hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one’s life or the world at large.As a verb,its definition include;”expect with confidence” and to ‘cherish a desire with anticipation.”
H hold
O on.
P pain
E ends.
“Ever since Happiness heard your name,it has been running through the streets trying to find you” Hafiz of Persia
“Never stop believing in miracles,because miracles happen every day”. Unknown
“While there is life.there is hope” Marcus Tullius Cicero
“There is a saying in Tibetan,’Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength’ No matter,what sort of difficulties,how painful experience is,if we lose our hope,that’s our real disaster” Dalai Lama
Many examples can be given,where hope alone made all the difference in one’s life.
One particular example of HOPE,in modern-day is the famous Scientist Stephen Hawking.
Ten facts about Stephen Hawking
Another example I can give is Thailand cave rescue.Where prayers & Hope played a major role

Which face you will wear to day ?
This is a 3 minute read,
“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” ― Mark Twain
I am not talking of the personality disorder which we come across in the Medical World…..I am talking about the normal,perfect down to earth gentlemen and gentlewomen, who invariably have two faces,sometimes many faces ( multifaceted indeed! )
“Everyone has two faces but often we see only one side of them,so never judge anyone by their looks,because ,truth might surprise you” ! ‘unknown’
Have you any time seriously gazed your soul ?
I think we are all not just actors but great actors.Some examples,
1.You agree with me that wives hide (secrets) things from husbands, and husbands hide things from wives,but each will be talking to other sweetly and kindly.
2.All Men talk differently when they are with wives,and when the wives are not around.(men there… ..you know what I mean )
3. We preach our kids,but practice quite opposite.
4.Young boys and girls as lovers,constantly lie to each other which suits the situation.
5.We shout at our children and wives for no fault of theirs,but show sweet face to the boss,in spite of getting abused.
6.Married men ,when they come across a single woman, try,to attract her attention,but when wives are with them…it is a different behavior !
7.Our offline behavior is in contrast to our online behavior.You may be a beggar in real life ,but on social media you flaunt all your richness from nowhere !
8. You can see ,Professional child kidnapper/killer is a dedicated father to his kids.
I can go on and on…..
We all wear masks.
Let us be frank.And that is the way of life ! And we have to live that life if we want to survive in this wretched world.
And the worst part,you know…..even with God we play our duality !
“There’s a duality of a guy calling on God: ‘Where are you when I need you’ and the,at the same time .’God helps those who helps themselves.’…I think that contradiction does exist in all of us ,those of faith and those who profess to have no faith. ‘JoeCornahan’
Now that we realized that all of us have two faces( dual personalities)….now it becomes even more scary.
“It’s not about who’s real to your face,
It’s about who’s real behind your back” unknown
So be busy checking your back frequently !
And wishing and praying that, let 2019 bring just the single and original face of ours all the time !

Holy Shit- Holy crap !
Why the word ‘Holy‘ is used ,before swear words ?
Does not this go against the third commandment ?
Are we not demeaning the very Godly word ‘Holy’ ?
Readers can help me for a better understanding.

‘Why not me God’ instead of ‘Why me God’ ?
Existence is a strange bargain.Life owes us little;we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
William Cowpe
Every one has to face some problem or other.
Describing somebody that ‘the fellow is born with silver spoon’ is utter rubbish.
Everybody has to undergo suffering.
Whether the person suffers from cancer or just mild fever,or any other reason doesn’t matter.
Whether the person is rich or poor,doesn’t matter.
Good or bad doesn’t matter.
Whether the person is pious or unholy ,doesn’t matter.
Whether the person is criminal or law-abiding doesn’t matter.
Whether the person is moral or immoral doesn’t matter.
Whether a new born suffers or a 100+ old person suffers doesn’t matter.
I can go on and on….
The point I am trying to stress is ,there is no escape from suffering once you are born.
The only difference is , some suffer more and some suffer less.
Again I don’t have an answer.
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome. Isaac Asimov
When one suffers,the first question one puts invariable is “Oh God ! why me ?” as if one is pure (at heart on par with Almighty), and rest of the population deserves to suffer.
Remember there are others in this world,whose suffering is more than yours.
Instead,why can’t one boldly say ” why not me ?”
By saying so, Are we not gaining confidence in ourselves to face the eventuality ?
To be frank, why should one get exemption from suffering in one’s life ?
Is this not God’s way of telling us to be
Brave,
Develop courage,
Search for solutions( inventions,science etc)
Improve inner strength,
Understand the meaning of life ( philosophy),
Know the value of time.
So we are thankful to the Almighty for giving us an opportunity to survive and gain strength from sufferings.
So our thoughts should be

God vs Us
A man walked to the top of a hill to talk to God
Can you outsmart the smarttest ?
The man asked, “God,
what’s a million years to you?” and God said, “A minute.”
Then the man asked, “Well, what’s a million dollars to you?” and
God said, “A penny.”
Then the man asked, “God…..can I have a penny?” and God said,
“Sure…..in a minute.”
Is man born WILY ??

Wife & Husband -Can’t they be best friends for life ?
Marriages are made in Heaven ,that is the quote. Do you agree ? or it’s a Myth ?
Those who believe in this, say that,
1. There is a Cosmic Power that is responsible for the actions of people and marriage is decided even before one is born. 2 .Marriage is 100 % destined since it is under the influence of the Almighty.
3. Whether it is arranged marriage or Love marriage,the same Cosmic power is deciding the events to be unfolded for the perfect Date of the marriage
Those who don’t believe in the proverb have plenty of explanations,as to where Almighty has utterly failed.
1.If the proverb is true,why there are so many Divorces,so frequently ?
Divorce happening at the drop of a hat.Causes extending from silly reasons to financial problems to infidelity to substances of abuse…….you name it..it’s there and can lead to divorce.
2 .Domestic violence
Less said better,since these things are happening in so called developed world,developing world and underdeveloped world.
3. Couple Incompatibility. What is couple incompatibility ?
No two persons are the same.even if you think that they are same in their interests and personalities ,still their individual reactions to the demanding situations vastly vary.
4. Ego clash
“I have never yet met with anything that was dearer to any one than his own self” — -Buddha
No body can help if one is not able to avoid Egoistic attitude
5. Couple in illusion mode.
Many of us believe in Hollywood or Bollywood version of romance,passion,sex,hero kissing the heroine,lots of colourful fireworks in the background,decorated Horse cart,waiting for the couple,forever romance and happy endings.There is enormous difference between living ‘Happily ever after ‘ and ‘Happily ever before ‘
“So they were married ,to be the more together and found that they were never again so much together Divided by the morning tea, By the evening paper,By children and tradesmen’s bills”. English poet Louis MacNiece
One has to face the reality . Things are different-,like arrival of children,loans,dealing with in laws,unnecessary fighting’,controlling anger etc.etc.
6.Extra Marital Affairs
Call it middle age crisis or fun and after a few years of married life ,people get bored,loose passion for love and start searching for new ways to get boost to their sexual need.These are occasions when one needs self control.
Ultimately Who are we to question the Wisdom of the God ?
My feeling is to let wife & husband recognise all their strengths and Weaknesses and be helpful to each other and their family at the same time knowing and even realising the Greatness of what is known as Institution of Marriage.
- A Happy relationship is made up of two good Forgivers
Behind every happy couple, lies two people who have fought hard to overcome all obstacles and interference to be that way .Why ?? Because it’s what they wanted. ‘ unknown’
Glad,You reached this point .Kindly share your views and ideas on ‘Institution of Marriage’

Devils Deep Discussion ( of scripture )
There is no neutral ground in the Universe:Every square inch,Every split second, is claimed by God and counter claimed by Satan. C.S.Lewis
There is always conflict between Good & Bad. Things are well discussed and dissected in the religion,ethics,philosophy & psychology.
Right from childhood we are taught to be good and that good should prevail.
As kids we are taught by parents of virtues of being good.
But then some us continue to be good or turnout to be bad as per the society.Life is not that simple to classify as who is good or who is bad. 
One loves to be good all the time,but circumstances can change ones’s intentions Humans are said to be unique in having ‘ conscience’, which separates them from ‘Animals’ and humans are capable of moral judgement.Many times ,one goes against ones’ conscience,and one alone can give the explanation,and also take responsibility.
Personally I believe majority of us belong neither to the extreme good nor extreme bad and lie somewhere in between.
quoteprism
Finally we are the way we are and what is good to you, likely to be bad for others, and the conflict between God and Satan continues……..
