Tusks, Trunks and Tales...

F.A.M.I.L.Y

~*~*~

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs,and returns home to find it.

~*~*~

~*~*~

A house is made of walls and beams,

A home is built with love and dreams.

~*~*~

~*~*~

A happy marriage is the foundation of a happy family.

~*~*~

~*~*~

The roots of a family tree begin with the love of two hearts.

~*~*~

~*~*~

All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

~*~*~

~*~*~

I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich.

~*~*~

~*~*~

We never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents.

~*~*~

~*~*~

An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship.

~*~*~

~*~*~

Home sweet home. This is the place to find happiness. 

If one doesn't find it here, one doesn't find it anywhere.

~*~*~

~*~*~

The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you.

~*~*~

~*~*~

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.   

~*~*~

~*~*~

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

~*~*~

~*~*~

We may not have It all together,

But together we have it all.

~*~*~

~*~*~

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works is the family.

~*~*~

~*~*~

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.

~*~*~

~*~*~

Family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

~*~*~

Thank you God, for a house full of people I love. Amen!

I seriously didn't know that my time-pass drawings would end up being on my blog someday, well, every drawing (read dog :P ) has its day! ;)

Tempus fugit

Time goes, you say?  Ah no!

Alas, Time stays, we go.

~Henry Austin Dobson

*Slowly opens eyes*

It's too bright. Where am I? So many people looking at me? OMG! Who are these people? Why are they touching me everywhere? Oww, that tickles! I'm feeling hungry! Am I crying? 

*Blink*

They are with me all day. This room is pink in color!! They make funny sounds all day, why?

*Blink*

Mommy. Daddy. Granny. Grandpa. Started talking! And these people, they are my people. :)

*Blink*

Wow. I can walk now! :D This is interesting! So much to explore!

*Blink*

Why do I have to go to school Mommy? I wanna be at home with you! :( 

*Blink*

College! Graduation! Hurrah! B-) 

*Blink*

I work for a MNC now. Don't believe it! So busy.

*Blink*

Engaged! and finally, Married.

*Blink*

Mishti. She's so pretty. My daughter.

**Introspection**

Is someone fast-forwarding my life here? Who's doing this? I was just now born and within a few blinks I have my own new-born! Hate to say this but time really flies. :-/

*Blink*

Mishti's going to school!

*Blink*

My l'll girl makes me proud. Get's into IIT for Engineering! ;) ;)

*Blink*

She's growing up. I'm growing old..........

*Blink*

Mishti goes for higher studies. Finds a job. I'm graying and my back hurts now, often. 

*Blink*

Mishti's getting married!

**Introspection**

Mishti's getting married? Just feels as if I got married now! Hate to say this but time really flies! Phew! Where did all that time go? 

~*~*~*~*~

Time which is actually a quantifiable thing becomes undefinable when it comes to life! We often talk about killing time, the truth is that time slowly kills us. We don't even realize when and how we move from one phase to another in life. Mighty changes just happen like that!! It is ironical that when you are 75 years old, relaxing in your rocking chair, sipping your filter coffee, thinking about life, you'd be clueless about how everything happened so fast! Saint Augustine rightly said, "What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know." That's the power of time! You'd be playing with your grandchildren, still be wondering the whole cyclic sequence of events and say again, "Time flies!!!" 

Most importantly, one day when your life flashes before your eyes. Make sure that, it's worth watching. ;) 

~*~*~*~

Whether we wake or we sleep,

Whether we carol or weep,

The Sun with his Planets in chime,

Marketh the going of Time.

((( I AM )))

I am Love
I am Young
I am Strong
I am Health
I am Wealth
I am Energy
I am Divinity
I am Creative
I am Integrity
I am Thankful
I am Goodness
I am Happiness
I am Well-being
I am Abundance
I am Enlightened

~*~*~*~

The power of I AM is incredible. It is my real identity. The presence of God in me. What I attach to myself with conviction is what I become. It's very important to realize who you are and what powers you possess. By listening to the silence and the power which lies in the energy of I AM you activate the divine love, peace and well-being which is your natural state. You are actually reclaiming who you really are! 

Be careful in what you want to be because I AM has the power to either free you or limit you.

What I think, I become

What I want, I get
What I feel, I express

What I aspire for, I achieve
