well all those who'd read my last blog must've got a decent picture of what i was trying to say... basically in the pursuit for bigger and better things in life we often tend to overlook and ignore the simpler things in life that give us so much joy...well after reading the book,i decided to contribute a few instructions of my own....whatever lil i've learnt and observed in these 20 years....and with this , i would also wan everybody readin this blog to contribute a few of their own....its damn simple...we can actually make our own volume of Life's little instruction book....:)

here is wat i hace to say..
1.Don't judge people by the way they dress.Appearances are often deceptive.
2.Thank God everyday for all that He's given u.
3.Get into the habit of reading.Besides improving your vocabulary,it'l also improve your thinking.
4.Keep your promises.
5.make friends who like u for the way u are, not how they would want u to be.
6.always appreciate your mother when u know she's taken great effort to make the dish for you.
7.when u say 'i love u' , mean it.
8.Remember a good sense of humour adds spice to life
9.include your family in your prayers.
10.when adults are sick, care for them as though they were kids.

hmm so thats for now...now ur turn..:) think and contribute.....

i absolutely lovedddd the blogs!!:)
now to contribute to the list of instructions...most of them yes learnt over experience and i hope to keep it ;)here goes and straight from the heart.....


be the first to say a sorry!yeah explain ur self later but take the initiative to do! it doesnt mean u ve done some wrong...it just shows how much the other person means to u!


dun wait for a particular day to be happy....be happy in the "now"..coz happiness is a journey not a destination!oh never mind if there are pot holes along the way!


Change is the only constant thing in life...and if u feel time is running too fast?!!:) just take the batteries outta ur watch and throw it away!!!


never explain ur actions to people...ur friends dont need and strangers aren't bothered anyway!


value those people more who love u..rather than the ones u love!
the ones who love u..do so for ur imperfections and the ones u love are the ones u love for their perfections. now if u love the others coz of their imperfections...its just too bad :D



take joy and let ur hair down when the weather's good ...trust me there's nothin better than a good jog or drive when the wind's running through your face...leave all important things aside when ur doin this!



I copy your point here coz my instructions wld be incomplete wid out this…read, read ,read and read more…...u can travel the world u can learn from others’ experiences…u can read any time..and live a whole new world…yeah u can be the hero u never were :)


Love animals….and if u want to see how good u can actually look..try and see ur image or reflection in the eyes of one….u’ll know what I mean…they provide the world’s best mirrors!!!


Don’t be shy of makin mistakes….just tell ur self u r trying to find a hundred ways that don’t work!!


When u look into the mirror tel urself “ I love me”…no its not being narcissistic….only if u love urself can u love others!!!
( and never mind if ur nose’s too big…ask me?!!!)


Don’t wait for change to happen-be the first to make the change!


If u think people don’t notice u or care for u why not notice them and care for them instead!


If u keep on hurrying through life and success it doesn’t last long. Remember if u cut the cocoon of a caterpillar what emerges is a crippled butterfly. Patience and perseverance makes the butterfly break out of its cocoon itself- ready to fly into the big world!!
fish does it sound too philosophical:-)


Now this one’s surely worth it :) If u get rejected in an interview or a job-tell urself they didnt deserve u!!! and believe me there’s better stuff awaiting u anyway!!
Its very rarely that u do what u love so why not just love what u do??


And the final one

“ I love u” !!!! :)
( yeahh me following ur instructions aint i????!!)

love,farheen!!!

very nice post indeed!!

well most of what i could think of,farheen already said it...

so here's my two cents!!

pray!!it may not always do miracles..but hope is the quintessential in this life..!!

when there's nothing else you can do to make something right..leave it to the man above..he will take care of you!!

remember things happen for a reason..if it werent for all the troubled times you ve been thru ..you wouldnt be as strong as you are now..god has a plan ;)

never speak to your parents insultingly in front of your friends..and if any of your frnds do so(to theirs') tell them how it should be..

enjoy all the senses god gave you to the fullest..smell the rain on the soil..it beats any perfume ck ever made hands down!!

when you re sad eat!!it works wonders for me atleast!!lol

never ever cheat on your best friends it ll only make it that much difficult for everyone involved!!

and i totally agree with farheen abt the animals part..they only come next to a mother when it comes to unconditional love

do not try to be perfect..try to be harmless..that should suffice!!

and if you have the time...
try finding this song and take a good listen

Well! afta a lot of pestering frm my lil sis, I had to read thru her blog...but honestly I simply loooved it..I myself hv read-Life's little Instruction Book and believe u me, its worth ur time.There are lil lil things that the book tells u that we forget to do in our daily lives.. Uji( as I call Shruti) has very well summed it up..
I recently came across a small booklet by Swami Vivekanada about self confidence and self divity..Would love to share it with u people..it says :

What makes the difference between man and man is the difference in this Shraddha and nothing else. What makes one man great and another weak and low is this Shraddha !

The more our bliss is within, the more spiritual we are.Let us not depend upon the world for pleasure !

Must a be a lot of gyaan for some, but trust me guys, it really boosts ur morale. I have this book hung on my desk at work..It gives the power to believe in oneself and be confident.

Thats it from the Big Sister..

love u
Shimul (Chechi)

well lovely thoughts there shrut... i think life is a huge book of instructions telling us what to do everyday... here are a few on my mind...

always learn to forgive maybe not forget beacuse it keeps reminding you of your standing

Do not seek revenge with anybody because there is a greater power in charge of our lives. We do not possess the power to punish anyone

If there is one person who u cannot reach out to remember the other person may be thinking the same

Always tell ur loved ones how much they mean to u cos they mite walk outta ur life one day and never come bak

Take each day as it comes... bask in the sunlight and get drenched in the rain.. Live life Queensize... love ya muah!
