What is Meaning?- John Gardner

Meaning is not something you stumble across, like the answer to a riddle or the prize in a treasure hunt. Meaning is something you build into your life. You build it out of your own past, out of your affections and loyalties, out of the experience of humankind as it is passed on to you, out of your own talent and understanding, out of the things you believe in, out of the things and people you love, out of the values for which you are willing to sacrifice something. The ingredients are there. You are the only one who can put them together into that pattern that will be your life. Let it be a life that has dignity and meaning for you.If it does, then the particular balance of success or failure is of less account.

Gole ka concept Avoo ke zubani........

Ever wondered why important things in world are round. Hmmmm!!! Avoo, my 2 year old nephew realizes and makes us also realize...why important things in life are GOLMATOL..Avoo keeps singing this rhyme for the whole day and last night when I was going to sleep the lyrics of this rhyme somehow appealed to me.The poem goes like this -

Uper chanda gol gol,
Neeche darti gol gol,
Mummy ke roti gol gol,
Daddy ka paisa gol gol,
Dada ka cheshma gol gol,
Dadi ke bindi gol gol,
Tu aur mei Gol Matol :)

When God created daughters

He took very special care
To find the precious treasures
that would make them sweet and fair....

He gave them smiles of angles,
then explored the midnight skies
And took a bit of stardust
to make bright and twinkling eyes....

He fashioned them from sugar
and a little bit of spice.
He gave them sunny laughter
and everything that is nice....

He smiled when He made daughters
because He knew He had created love and happiness - for every mom and dad.
