WHAT I DONT KNOW

I don't know why the earth is round
I don't know why we go round and round.

I don't know why I do what I do
I don't know why I feel sad sometimes too.

I don't know why I feel joy inside
I don't know why he stays by my side.

I don't know why he loves me so
I don't know why he gives me hope.

I don't know why people die
I don't know why people lie.

I don't know what gods plan is
I don't know if I believe in Him.

I don't know why the children go hungry
I don't know why it makes me so angry.
I don't know why they are sick and dying
I don't know if God is smiling or sighing.

I don't know why the rich get richer
I don't know why the poor remain poor.

I don't know why there is injustice in this world
I don't know what all this fighting is for.
I don't know why there is misery and woe.
I don't know whether to live or to go.

I don't know why there is sunshine or rain.
I don't know why the earth is sometimes fruitful
And sometimes plain.

I don't know what purpose I have on this earth
I don't know what I should do the rest of my life.
I don't know what would become of my family
if I were to die.
And I don't know if there is an after life.

I really don't know why.

DO YOU HAVE ANSWER'S TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS?

Does anyone know how I can fix my blog. I lost my side bar and blogrolling and the archives and profile skipped to the bottom. I dont know how to fix it. thanks.

SURPRISE.......

It is saturday, the morning is a little cool but has promised to be a nice day and not very hot.Most of my family live far and are driving from all parts of Orange county .
Everything is set. J thinks it is a get together just so I can get to see everyone. The kids are really excited because we have not had a recent Birthday party for J.

The food has been ordered, drinks and tables all set, vijay pretends to be the DJ and tries to play some music, he likes all these mixes , even the hindi /english ones. Maya likes to dress up and look pretty. I am on the couch, cannot do too much of walking around so cannot greet my guests at the front door. Anyway most of the guests are family so it does not matter so much.I am just happy that everyone took time out of their busy schedule to make this day special for J especially since his whoole family is in India .

From where I sit on the couch I can see people arriving, some are dressed in western attire, some in Indian , some are casual and some are formal. its a mixed set of people of different ages.Its amazing when you watch how people gravitate and form groups. All the men were interested in J's new plasma T.V.they were discussing different makes and models and how clear the picture was, the women were all huddled together admiring each others clothes and jewellery.talking about the latest fashion in india be it salwars or sarees. There was a new mother in the group so her baby was the centre of attraction and mostly stole the whole show. the children found games to play between themselves.Everytime I heard a loud noise upstairs I just prayed that one of them was not hurt and they were ok.

The food had arrived, the smell of Indian food filled the air from vegetable pulao, chicken tikka, Kofta curry, aloo tikka and the likes. not forgetting the desserts. J did not know the party was for him untill the birthday cake came out and the presents. He was really happy. sorry cannot post pictures because J does not like his picture taken. All in all it was a wonderful day , except there was no dancing, first of all it was a luncheon and my family is not much into dancing, dont know where I got that gene from.

Toward the end of the afternoon we played a board game called Apples to Apples.It was a lot of fun. Suddenly in the middle of the party we heard that my brother-in-law was having chest pains and had to be rushed to the hospital. Anyway he was ok and came back home after spending a couple of hours in the E.R. So the party did come to an abrupt end.but was good. I sure got a good view of all that was going on from my corner, It was a lot of fun and especially since my family was there. Its at these times you really know the value of having a loving and wonderful family.

Thank you all my friends for all the wishes you sent J. and thinking of him on his birthday.

DESTINY

It was a warm summer day
In a land far away
You had an accident
And I was there.

Who would have thought
That an accidental meeting
Would bring us together.
To share our lives forever.

Movies, lunches, and dinners
A few dates is all it took.
We had obstacles in our way
We nearly went our ways.

It has been many years.
I have sometimes looked back
And wondered what may have been
If our paths had not entwined

But I have to look forward
And stay on the right track.
I know it is said
Fate has a part to play
I am so glad it did that day.

Happy Birthday "J" I am glad you came my way.

FRIENDS WE NEED YOUR HELP
A fellow blogger Shankari http://shankari-rajesh.blogspot.com has requested me to post this .If anyone else would like to post this on your blog please do.Public awareness may bring some help. Perhaps it is you who is destined to save a life.

Dear Friends, we request your help. Nirali Naik of Chicago, IL a sweet and wonderful 18 month
old girl - and the daughter of dear friends of ours is suffering from Leukemia. Please seehttp://www.savenirali.com

All of us well wishers of Nirali are trying to find a matching bone marrow donor for her. We are doing this by organizing numerous bone marrow drives around the country. SAMAR (South Asian Marrow Association of Recruiters) is helping us do this.More info on SAMAR -http://www.samarinfo.org


We urge you to please come to the drives that are located near you - (they are listed in Nirali's website) and register for bone marrow donation to see if you can save her life. Because Nirali's race is Indian, the likelihood of finding a matching donor is highest among Indians. As you can see from the SAMAR home page, there are many patients of Indian origin who are waiting for a Bone marrow donor - this is a chance for us to potentially help out many others as well.At a bone marrow drive, potential donors are asked to fill in aform and the test for marrow match is very simple - most likely an oral swab (or a blood sample). It is absolutely FREE for minority races. The samples are then tested for a particular series of Antigens (called Human Leukocyte Antigens) and the information is stored in a national database maintained by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP).

If the donors are potential matches with patients (including Nirali), the NMDP will contact them directly. Bone marrow donation has no long term side effect at all.Please forward this email to Individuals/Organisations of Indian race who might be interested in helping.Feel free to contact us - Hiral & Anurag (hirald@hotmail.com) or SAMAR directly for any questions.

If there is no drive located in your area and you would like to help in arranging one, SAMAR will provide all the resources free of cost and thiswould be a huge help.Thank you very much for your help in our efforts to save Nirali.Sincerely,Hiral DesaiPosted on August 23, 2006, at 12:20 AM by Rakesh Mahajan
