When I asked God for strength
He gave me difficult situations to face
When I asked God for Brain and Brawn
He gave me puzzles in life to solve
When I asked God for happiness
He showed me some unhappy people
When I asked God for wealth
He showed me how to work hard
When I asked God for favours
He showed me opportunities to work hard
When I asked God for peace
He showed me how to help others
God gave me nothing I wanted
He gave me everything I needed

Talk about small people and you can't miss out on me.
I read it for the first time here.
And well, liked it.
Big words..i am too small to have the wisdom, guts, grit, fortitude, determination and all that is needed to follow that.
:'-(
Too bad.
And dont ask me to try and develop all that(i have a feeling tara was about to say all that..). Not my cuppa tea.
How is it that you are always the first to comment on my posts and i fail to reciprocate, everydamnedtime?
Yes Rajesh, will read your post soon.
Thanks Aneesh, keep commenting! ;)
Sakshi, I am glad you read it for the first time too...no one is small, there's something ig in everyone! lol. Thanks for the 2 comments! You see Sakshi, I don't blogroll people, I blog list them. So, my favorite blogs are arranged according to the last date on whch the post was made. So I know very quickly when one of my friends has updated their blog! May be you could try that too!!

my faith is a lil weak right now..so i wont comment on the god aspect :P
i guess when someone said god helps those who help themselves, he meant that we shud always help ourselves rather than holler for divine intervention :)

Hi ,
I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be wow.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘The world through my eyes’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;
BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!
This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)
Cheers,
Hey thanks for coming back. Be active :)
Thank you so much Ray! That was a very sweet comment, am glad you like my blog! As you said, I have registered on Rambhai.com and well lets see how it goes. Thanks so much for the suggestion. Thanks for so much apprecition, it does wonders to my ego and self-confidence! Stay in touch... :)
Thanks Aneesh! You'll see me pretty often from now on...!
some time back...i had these lines as my desktop background...they r really awsome...enlightening and awakening thoughts.....
Thanks Arpit! I know, great inspiring lines! Keep coming... :)
