Everyone needs to be inspired and having others inspire you can only have positive effects. It’s one of life’s win win situation. By doing things that inspire others we ourselves benefit, as we are giving rather than receiving. Also, those we inspire benefit and hopefully go on to inspire others in turn. It can only be good thing for society as a whole when we are inspired by others and are ourselves an inspiration to others.
So who had inspired me? My parents (they are the first source of inspiration) apart from them there are lot of people who had inspired me from my childhood till today. We cannot forget our school teachers and few of them are real time examples of sincerity, discipline, honesty, simplicity etc…
There are people whom we have not met yet (we don’t even know whether we will meet them in our life time) also had inspired us.
My teachers inspired me to believe in myself and that I could achieve as long as I worked hard using my ability, and the open opportunities.
I remember one teacher in particular who inspired me, Ms. Sofia, who was my English teacher in 12th Std. She was a disciplined person, but had a sense of hum our too. She tried to help others in all possible ways she can. Even this year she asked me for a help to pay college fees for her student. We school friends contributed our part. She always believed in prayer.
I have also been inspired by various people; let me list few of them.
Dr. A.P.J.Kalam: I know he is a role model for all youth who want to achieve something. It is not easy to come from a lower class family and become a President of India. But his clear vision, the principles he followed all through his life had taken him to that place. He always loves children, talks with them as if he is a child (even though he is a famous scientist).
A.R.Rahman: Again, he is also a role model not only because of his magical music but also for his hard-work, humbleness etc. Though he is an Oscar winner, when it comes to music he just smiles and say “there is lot more way to go.” Only few people say such words even when they are on top notch. Coming to his music sorry ‘He is music’ to me. Whenever, I’m sad or upset his songs are the only support to me. The magic waves of his music are very pleasant to hear.
Rohith: My college friend… He was the one who inspired me to read books. Before my 2nd year college, I have not even read a single book. But he cultivated that habit into me. Thanks Rohith.
There are others who had inspired me by their simplicity, positive attitude, smile, character, writing etc. Thanks to all of you who had inspired me.
The truth is, wherever one looks, it’s impossible not to find inspiration. Look around yourself with an open mind and I guarantee you will find inspiration. Once you do, be sure to implement it that will in turn inspire others. The wonderful thing is that one single act that inspires can lead to a multitude of acts that they inspire others.

Treasures Worth Treasuring
Pets are creatures that can bring happiness and joy even when you’re totally upset. I dint know this truth till my uncle bought a new born dog (jimmy). They treated jimmy as one of the members in their family. Jimmy also started loving their company and grew faster after eating the food, milk they provided.
Jimmy was so close to my uncle that he won’t eat food until uncle feeds. Uncle was also reciprocating the same love and affection. They will take him to a doctor for monthly check up and provided proper vaccination. Whenever, I go to their home, jimmy will be the first person to welcome me. So sweet of him. But I’m scared of him as many of us do.
My uncle will then come and get me inside. Jimmy will come near me and start smelling. I get irritated by such activity that I shout at jimmy and he will go and occupy his seat near sofa. I have never seen jimmy being tied as it was left free to reach any place inside the home.
Now..Why Am I telling u all this?
Uncle is a BP patient, and his pressure is out of control. He takes plenty of tablets to keep it under control. Lot of stress in his office as he being the senior official there.
But when he comes home, he is completely relieved from his stress by jimmy. The miracle that happens in uncle home is because jimmy understands the situation and the surroundings very well. Uncle can live without his two sons and aunty at home, but not without jimmy.
Their relationship is wonderful that it brings happiness in uncle’s face even when he is angry or worried. Jimmy will come and sit in uncle’s lap and he will start speaking to jimmy. After an hour or so he will be totally fresh as if he is again ready to handle loads of them.
I understood the value of having a pet through my uncle. I also wanted to have a pet which can bring happiness and joy to me and my family. But I was not blessed to have one till now
. Whenever, I ask my mother to get me a pet the only sentence she used to say is “I can buy it for you, but I can’t maintain them it’s really tough.”
Now, I will put forth list of pets I wished to have
.
Cat: They are very cute and soft creatures which can make you soft even if you’re a tough person. The sounds they make “meow… meow…” are very pleasant to hear and you will even try to imitate them once you hear it. I love double shaded cats very much.
Dog: The noticeable point about dogs is ‘they can feel your feelings’. Very trustworthy creatures, helpful at times. They play with you; keep you occupied with something or other. As soon as they acknowledge you, they will waive their tail. It’s a wonderful feeling they express. I will be happy if God give speaking power to dogs and withdraw that from humans. Ha ha ha :-p. We talk all non sense about others. Was that the purpose of speech?
Bird: Another creature which has mesmerizing voice. The sounds they make are very funny and can bring smiles to you. They are very small to handle but lovely to be with.
Fish: From my childhood I have had a special admiration for fishes and their tanks. I love all kinds of fishes and round tank is my favorite. Feeding them with food is the happiest job in the world (I guess).
I know many of you will be blessed to have any of the above mentioned pets. If you don’t have one, then we are missing something badly in life. They teach us lot of things about life like sharing, caring which most of us don’t even follow now-a-days.
Though I don’t have them currently, I wish to buy them in future and maintain them properly. Hope you all will do the same.

PASSING CLOUDS
I cannot forget this incident for lifetime. This happened when I was studying 8th standard. I joined that school in 7th standard and I was quite new to the school. School environment and friends were supportive to me. Enjoyed school life until one day, when this incident happened.
We had two second language options, Tamil and Hindi. I took Tamil as it is my mother tongue. Maya took Hindi. By the way Maya is my friend.
I was called by Maya’s Hindi teacher that day. I was at the peak of shock, because I have heard a lot about her from Hindi students but nothing was good. My friends were also adding fuel to the fire. Went to Hindi classroom with a fear, I was almost ready to cry. Maya alone was in the class with her. Teacher told me to sit; she sat in front of me and started shouting like anything. I don’t know why she was scolding me but I was sure that Maya would have said something about me. Teacher also asked me to bring my parents tomorrow. There came tears out of my eyes, and I was in a state of shock.
I begged her that I won’t repeat it without knowing what the reason was. She was not convinced and added “Boys with this kind of behavior should be dismissed from school.” Again I pleaded her to the core and she said “if you repeat it again, I will definitely report to principal and get u TC.” Went back to my class with a sorrowful face, the whole class was waiting for me. Everyone started asking about the issue. I enquired Hindi boys what happened in the Hindi period.
As they said “Maya was crying in class while she was teaching. Teacher asked Maya about the reason for crying. She kept quiet, so she asked Kavitha, who was sitting next to her (none other than my villi). Kavitha told her that “I was sightseeing Maya, so she is mentally disturbed bcoz of it””
I was very much upset and disappointed about the reason. The question in my mind was “What the hell Kavitha think about me?” I was ready to go and fight with her. Suddenly, she came to my class and called me, Maya to a nearby empty classroom. I went with lot of anger. I started asking questions. Kavitha said “it was my mistake, I’m very sorry for what have happened.” I replied “what? You will blame me for what I have not done and then ask sorry.”
Maya dint open the mouth till that. She started crying and followed me saying “very sorry, I don’t know why Kavitha said like that” I dint hear her words and came out. The very next day, Maya cried again and I was left with no other choice except to accept her apology and restart our friendship from where we left. Months passed leaving sweet memories to remember for life time. But now I don’t even know where she is.
Friends no one can find what’s in girl’s mind. If you have a way to find it please share it with all. They will get boys into trouble and escape very easily. They speak well, share everything with you but suddenly they will move out of your life and disappear.
P.S: “BE CAREFUL GUYS, GIRLS ARE MYSTERY”

Do you believe in Destiny?????
As we all know Destiny is predetermined, most of us believe it and few oppose it… Starting from birth, marriage, accident and until death everything is pre-destined.
Few examples: you can’t select your parents, you can’t fix your date/day of death… It happens according to GOD’s wish (the controller). That’s Destiny.
I don’t want to take this topic spiritually… I’ll just throw some light about “destiny.”
All of us have this question in our mind “why am I born.” But we don’t have the answer because we don’t think beyond that question. We take life as it comes. So we don’t want to confuse our self by asking such questions. But few people think about it repeatedly and they try to achieve destiny soon.
Once you start thinking and ask the question again and again, you will definitely visualize the future, and your life will be productive so that you go in the right path to reach destiny.
Even if you don’t go in the right path you will reach Destiny that’s fate…
Most of the time we interchange the words destiny and fate. Fate- they have worked themselves out and you are not conscious about it. Whereas, Destiny - they will work themselves out and you’re conscious about it.
"Your character today will be your destiny tomorrow."
Finally, I believe in Destiny, GOD has got a full control of everyone’s life. Whether it’s good or bad you have to accept itL. So be happy and have a positive attitude in negative (PAIN) situations.
Think about this quote always "Nothing lasts forever."
