    Reach out - Communicate!!!

    Reach out - Communicate!!!



    A colleague who sits besides me
    Sent across an email
    It was an invite to his marriage
    And it said 'Do come without fail'

    We spend eight hours each day
    Sitting within five feet of each other
    But I was not sure if he was married
    Or if he had any sister or brother

    I was vaguely aware of him
    As we used the same extension
    But since our projects were different
    We shared no other connection

    It's said that in our lives
    Communication is highly crucial
    But what we do communicate
    Is becoming more and more superficial

    For I get many forwards everyday
    About the meaning of life and so on
    But just a handful of friends mail me
    Asking how my life is going on

    I have my birthday approaching
    And my sister will give me a hug
    But it will be through egreetings.com
    For she'll be in UK fixing a bug

    So know more about the stranger
    With whom you share the phone
    Speak to him some time today
    And he'll feel he is not alone
    “I want to feel passion, I want to feel pain. I want to weep at the sound of your name. Come make me laugh, come make me cry... just make me feel alive.”

    If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues. - Edward Bulwer-Lytton

          this was a very nice poem, it really simply explained the relationship that we have with many of those around us. I think its good to know even a little bit about those around us, a little is better than nothing. I know it may be hard to try to get to know those around us since it does require effort and the other party wanting to share information about themselves, but if you show a genuine interest about those around you, they will open up. In learning about others, we learn about ourselves as well. Thanks for this beautiful poem Hari

              beautifully said nilo "by knowing others we learn/know abt ourselves"...thats y we know ourselves a lot thru our love coz we open our heart without any hesitation...and we dont hesitate to hear wat our love says... being a broad minded to others is the toughest thing to do becoz everyone is selfish...i heard this quote somewhere .."basically human is an animal" we tend to think abt ourselves a lot than others. giving ear to others is one of the toughest thing to do.

              and its my pleasure to share something here which touches me... so no more thanks to alienate me.
