A Quarrel

What starts out as a simple discussion sometimes ends in a big quarrel.Why does this happen I ask myself. Is it because we have strong minds or is it because it is in our nature to quarrel.sometimes it starts off as an argument and then hurtful words are said when one feels they are losing the argument.Is it because they don't love or care for each other or is it because the fear of losing was too great.
Why is it that something very simple can escalate to a really big argument. Should one just stay quiet even when one knows it is not right.Is trying to explain yourself considered an argument.I don't know these answers and was just trying to understand the human mind. Because in the end both people are sad and bruised.Then why do we do these things. Does it make people come closer or does it drive them apart.
What do You think? Should one person keep quiet and just walk away? I don't know. ANY ANSWERS?

IDOLMANIA........MY 150th POST


I have to admit I am an Idol fan and have been for the last five years. I know "J" does not think too much of American Idol. Last night I was ecstatic because an Indian kid made it to the top 24.I do hope he makes it to the top ten. I think American Idol even with all the hype that surrounds it, does give opportunities for everyone to show their talent. I know that some really talented people do not make it , but then thats life.

On another note..I went for my three month check up yesterday, it was a nice long ride to Beverly Hills. There was a lot of traffic returning because it was peak hour but it was Ok. I have to say that I spent some quality time with "J" on Valentine's Day. we talked all the way there and back. I am really happy that the doctor said that my back is healing well.The CT scans looked good.The doctor showed me pictures of my back with the artifical Disc and on the second level you can see the spinal cage and a plate with two long screws. So now I start Physical Therapy for eight weeks. After which I hope to be doing a lot more.My first stop may be to a mall, which I have not seen for a couple of years. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I think I have made it after all.

THE SEEKERS "I'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU"

To "J" My Valentine.Thank you for always being there for me.

I think the best valentine days I had was when my children were young.There was always candy to be bought and cards to be made.The day before would be spent addressing each card and attaching a candy to it.The children would go to school excited and would come back with a brown bag filled with cards and candy. We did this year after year until they reached Junior high ,after which they did not want me to see the cards they received. Adults spend too much of time worrying about what present to buy or what they would receive. There are people who are going to be sad especially the ones who do not have a valentine. Some couples are going to end up fighting because the day was forgotten and they did not receive any card or candy or was not taken out for diner.

Valentines day was not a special day for me and "J". I don't think we ever exchanged anything. In a way I think it was good because there was no expectations so there was no disappointment. I think everyday should be valentines day. It does not have to be cards or candy but just expressing your love for each other.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL MY FRIENDS.

OCEAN OF TEARS

Tears are shed every day
Tears are shed come what may.
It may mean many things
Sometimes it is hard to explain
sometimes it is tears of joy
And sometimes it is pain.

Some tears are shed in silence
Because we don't want anyone to hear.
Some tears tell of the strength that we have
And some tell of our fear.

Some tears are shed aloud
Because we want to be heard.
Some tears are a call for help
Some tears just go unheard.

Some tears we cry, they often say
The words we do not speak.
Some tears are for the anger we feel.
Some tears are for the love we seek.

Some tears are shed when life is lost
Some tears are shed when one is born
Life may come and life may go
The nights may be long and dark
But the morning brings another spark.

INDIAN WOMEN......... PEACE KEEPERS IN LIBERIA

Read this article in the BBC news and thought I would share it. makes me feel proud to be an indian woman. You read about the important jobs they hold all over the world and in space. I think all women should be proud.


A unit of United Nations peacekeepers with a difference has arrived for work in Liberia - they are all women.
More than 100 female peacekeepers from India are there to work as an armed police unit to help stabilise Liberia which, after years of war, is trying to rebuild its own police force from scratch.
Stepping off the chartered plane in immaculate blue uniforms and berets, the 103 women were immediately on parade and probably bewildered by the media frenzy.
It is just a coincidence that the first all-female peacekeeping force is in Liberia, the first African country to elect a female president, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.
Crime is high especially in Monrovia and the war has left a degree of violence simmering just below the surface.
Terrible reputation
But having served in turbulent areas, including parts of northern India, the commander Seema Dhundiya says they are well prepared.
"These girls are experienced and have been trained. They have worked in areas of India where there was insurgency. They will do a good job and the Liberian ladies will get motivated and inspired to come forward and join the regular police."
