"BookStore" says "Merry Christmas To All And Have A Happy New Year!" - Last Updated: 12-18-09

Welcome to my "library". My name on here is "BookStore" so just call me that.
I love books and I enjoy reading as one of my many hobbies. When I'm not working or studying for school, you can usually find me behind one of my many books. I'm an avid reader, meaning that I'll read almost anything(as long as it's interesting to me) and I... more »

    anu wishes all of u " MERRY CHRISTMAS & GREAT NEW YEAR " says

    your welcome again friend . ya humbleness is the greatest virtue of being a human. that's why human being is super among all the creation but some people actually don't realize that they r human being :the emblem of kindness , sensitivity n consciousness . they r just in the sleeping state even in the awakening . Even animals have emotions but some human beings r so undeveloped souls that sometime i feel really amazed that how a person can react in a certain bad way but this is the world of the Lord . everyone here is to learn n for the soul sophistication . i feel humble especially when i see old ones n children . when i see old ones it makes me recall to my grand parents for whom i was like life n for me they were especially my grandmom coz i spent a lot time with her n when i see children ....Ah , they r so cute.
    u know there was a little boy almost 2 years old in my neighborhood , i cant say so cute he was n was too much lovable to me n my family even he was like a child of my mom dad but unfortunately they were on rent in that home n they went after one year n then it was hard for us to endure his absence . we used to see his toys wistfully . even still when we hear the voice of any child around the home, unconsciously we think that it is he .

    your interpretation of the poem is exact . it contains the very purpose of the pain . what God's purpose behind giving it . as a friend it should be the duty to share something really substantial n meaningful to our friends that's why we are world family who's householder is the LORD . first i read this poem when i really needed it n i got solace that i cant express . perhaps it was God's plan to give me relief .

    again i would say that d poem u sent was really a great conveyor of that very truth which most of the people ignorant of . but our Goodness that Lord made us able to grasp it n we should pray for the rest of the world n render this understanding to others . we always question Him coz sometimes we r 'young by mind' but later we know n we see the divine result that how our 'mental childhood' became adult and more mature .

    very well said friend !!! u could be here as the mind and soul n ur welcome .a very suitable quote for what u said :
    "A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?"
    -Kahlil Gibran

    u know i was wandering with this question for so long coz i think that when i decorate the tree i should be acquainted with what i do why i do !!! so please tell me if u get time .

    well , it's always great to read you . have a great life ahead. my best wishes are always there . may Lord bless u prosperity in every aspect of your life . GOD BLESS :) MERRY CHRISTMAS:)

    it's okay friend....friendship is far above to b sorry....it means freedom from all the formalities....it is faith . um telling this to u but myself um number one in saying sorry even if mistakes r not mine . u know some of my friends used to call me by the name sorry coz i m habitual in saying this but i think saying sorry is a kind of virtue in a person coz it depicts that how much down to earth u r .

    um happy that u liked that poem n it made u think a bit deep . thanx . ya me too like philosophies of world philosophers . i like to read everyone who's writing is substantial in some means . ya my friend we always try to remove our pain but we don't ever realize that it is only PAIN that keeps us close to GOD . In Hindu scripture GITA lord said that whoever is the full of PAIN is closest to ME . it is the irony that until we suffer we don't go to the LORD . some lines on Pain ........

    And a woman spoke, saying, "Tell us of Pain."

    And he said:

    Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

    Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

    And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;

    And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.

    And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.

    Much of your pain is self-chosen.

    It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.

    Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:

    For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,

    And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.
    -Khalil Gibran .

    Thanx for the VERSE friend . if i say truth it flooded me wid d emotions in the love of my Lord . u know whenever i read Verses n words of the Lord in other scriptures i always get emotional coz it seems that i got my FATHER who's Love is soooooooooooo selfless, who doesn't want anything from me except my Love . u know friend what i learned from the situational disasters of my life is that d lack we have with in ourselves ....it is only FATHER who can fulfill it with His selfless Love . it is the real Love what HE does to His children ......completely unconditional n that's why i call Him my GREAT DADDY n nothing is impossible for my DADDY . thanx for the Verse .

    Ohhhhhhhh touchy poem .thanx again . Once i read the quote written on the wall of a temple that LORD always has time to look at you but do you have time to look at HIM ????? n u know it appealed me a lot .

    Well i have kept a get together on the Holy Christmas at my home n i invited some of my friends n children of my colony ..soooooo u r invited ha.. ha.. ha. :) every year i decorate Christmas tree coz i have a large n beautiful tree in my garden . do u know what is the history behind it , i dont know . would u tell me ????

    hey please save some cake for me too ....again kidding :)
    okay !!!! HAVE A HAPPY JESUS BIRTHDAY !!!!! enjoy !!!!! May lord bless u by giving HIMSELF to u :)

    hey friend hows going life ???????? i read ur reply n it was very thoughtful .u know now i m very satisfied n content with life coz having lost so many things i got the understanding n the Love of my Almighty. it was very meaningful quote what u sent . um sending u some lines of a poem n u'll get the great gist what those lines r trying to convey . the poem is in my native language but um sending u the English translation so that u could take the real essence of that . the poem is all about for those people who have lost their loved ones n it's been very beautifully portrayed .
    so here we go -
    There was a star in life
    agreed, it was much loved
    when it sank, it did sink.
    Look at the sky’s vastness,
    so many stars have broken away
    so many loved ones it has lost
    the lost ones, were they ever found?????
    But tell me, for the broken stars
    does the sky ever grieve????????
    That which is past, is gone.

    There was a flower in life
    which, I doted everyday on
    when it dried, it dried away.
    Look at the garden’s breast,
    dried, many of its saplings have
    welted, many of its flowers have
    that which welted, did it ever bloom???????
    But tell me, for dried flowers
    does the garden create an uproar???????
    That which is past, is gone.

    There was a cup of wine in life
    which, you gave your heart and soul for
    when it broke, it did break.
    Look at the winehouse’s courtyard
    shaken, where many cups are
    fall, and merge with the ground
    that which fall, do they ever rise????????
    But tell me, for broken cups
    does the winehouse ever regret???????
    That which is past, is gone.

    Soft mud, we are made of,
    wine drops do tend to fall.
    A short life, we have come with,
    winecups do tend to break.
    Yet, inside the winehouse
    there is a winepot, there are winecups.
    Those, struck by intoxication
    do splurge away on the wine.
    He’s a raw drinker,
    whose affection escapes no cup,
    one who has burnt from true wine
    does he ever shout, or scream????????
    That which is past, is gone.
    -by Harivansh Rai Bachchan

    it's expressive isn't it ??????? but in original language it is far more expressive .i would say dear friend that be content n leave everything over to d FATHER . v r vulnerable to the illusions but HE has a BEST plan for all of us that v can't understand so leave .u know everybody expects something or other to us but do ever GOD expect anything to us except our selfless love ???? isn't HE the best friend of us ????? Give so much without getting anything ......soooooo selfless . we cant hide anything to HIM . He knows all.
    so have a gr8 life ahead :)
    wish for ur well being n read u further as well :)

    anu wishes all of u " MERRY CHRISTMAS & GREAT NEW YEAR " says

    hiiiiii friend !!!!!!!!
    um fine n how about you ???? well one thing i must say that it's gr8 to meet u : an another child of God coz u know everybody forgets the Giver of all . it's rare sight d genuine pray . ohhhhh how much i can say in His glory, it's immense . There r so many creations of God but few r the children of Him who has given their authority to Him .
    thanx for appreciating the quote n i have so many coz i love reading the life stuff. Aphorisms r pithy but contain d cosmos .
    i just want to say that it is must to bear the pain friend . until v suffer, find out the cause of that n most importantly d learning v should have
    life has no meaning at all .
    i have lived dis experience . u know it is a coincident that me too nurtured by my sweet Grandmom since i was just 15 days old but she is no more now n i can say that my whole existence is not able to say d love i have for her even i didn't cry on her death coz i wasn't able to estimate my pain dat how much i cry dat i could vent out everything what i had with in me so i was silent n just looking at everywhere . i wanted to cry but i couldn't . i knew what happened but sensation was not there . she went n d yearn remained for d whole life to cry a lot by clinging to her ....
    so one more quote -
    u heard the name of a gr8 Indian Philosopher Vivekananda ???? once he asked to his teacher that Sir can i see God , his teacher said yes why not !!! u can see him as v both r talking to each other!!! then his teacher said that everybody cries for this temporal world but who cries in d Love of God ??? who cries in d Love of Him who gets Him coz Love is d only thing that God can never resist , his teacher answered .
    okay it's too Long friend but do read :)
    so have a gr8 time . thanx a lot . always have faith n do ur Best :)

    Hiiiii BOOKSTORE !!!!!!! u dont need to b thankful 4 reading what u wrote coz i'll b a fortunate one dat somebody thought me worthy to share his or her deepest emotions . thanx a lot . i feel humble when i could b able to listen anyone n have somebody's that much belief so if ever u want to share anything ,feel free , it'll b my pleasure .
    ur story is really emotional . u r the lucky one who had such a loving Grandmom n still has in the sweet memories which u must've spent wid her . Always remember what our elder ones say to us coz those r not mere words but their experiences what they earned in their lives . U must be missing ur grandmom a lot .
    u know i try hard to ask God that now what should i learn when hardships come n they r inevitable coz life is the second name of struggle ; struggle is there till d last breath .
    once i was reading a magazine n the article was the book review of Samuel Beckett's upcoming book n there was a statement of him that " life is so terrible and i don't understand how it can be endured ." it was very emotional to me n i got edgy . such a simple statement but was very appealing to me . A gr8 person's quote :

    ' If something goes to your will it is good but if something doesn't goes to your will it is best because it is the will of the Almighty and HE will never want bad for us '

    again i would say dat pleased to read u .Always have patience and trust for the Lord coz HE is the only savior, behind every well wisher n hardships as well .My Best wishes for ur life ......
    cheers,
    GOD BLESS U .

    helloooo "BOOKSTORE" !!!!!
    it's really gr8 to read u n i could also tell u that ur writings really reflect ur enthusiasm in a gud measure too . life is really a kind of path where soooo many people meet wid different incentives n it's really wonderful to meet wid something similar to us .GOD has really made us wid such a huge variety so GOD is really gr8 n biggest Giver .
    v should really overcome everything n try to learn wid every situation what comes in this journey coz it's our religious duty in a real sense above everything .
    looking forward to read u further.......
    Best n have a gr8 time ....
