One day I wrote her name upon the strand


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay
A mortal thing so to immortalize!
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eek my name be wiped out likewise.
Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens write your glorious name;
Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew.

-Edmund Spenser

I saw her during recess

And then again at lunch

I kinda liked to tease her

Flirting With Your Eyes

I shuffled down the hallway

Trying to stay out of view

Peeking down the walkway

BHAROSA KHUD PE RAKHO

BHAROSA KHUD PAR RAKHO

HAR NAZAARA RANGIN HO JATA HAI

Jab tu banke humsafar mera sath deta hai,

Har mushkil safar asaan ho jata hain.

Keep On Smiling

As you travel on life's way

With its many ups and downs,

Remember it's quite true

HAR CHAHAT SE IZHAR HAI MERA

Hum sare waadon ko nibhayenge

Zindagi ko safal banayenge

Tum jo sang bane raho
