What you plant today will determine what you reap later
A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.
Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different.
He called all the young executives in his company together.
He said,It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO.
I have decided to choose one of you.
The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued.I am going to give each
one of you a SEED today one very special SEED.
I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have
grown from the seed I have given you.
I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO.
One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed.He went home and
excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed.
Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the
other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by,
still nothing.
By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.
Six months went by, still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed.Everyone else had
trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues,
however he just kept watering and fertilizing the soil. He so wanted the seed to grow.
A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.
Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life,
but he knew his wife was right.He took his empty pot to the board room.
When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were
beautiful in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed,a few also felt sorry for him..!!!
When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.
Jim just tried to hide in the back. My..!!, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown,said
the CEO. Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO.
All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot.
He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front. Jim was terrified. He thought,The CEO knows I m a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!
When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed Jim told him the story.
The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young
executives,Behold your next Chief Executive Officer! His name is Jim.
Jim couldn't believe it. He couldn't even grow his seed,How could he be the new CEO?,others asked.
Then the CEO said,One year ago, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds, they were dead and it was
not possible for them to grow.
All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees, plants and flowers.
When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you.
Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it.
Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive Officer.
If you plant honesty, you will reap trust
If you plant goodness, you will reap friends
If you plant humility, you will reap greatness
If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment
If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective
If you plant hard work, you will reap success
If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation
If you plant faith in God, you will reap a harvest.
So, be careful what you plant now, it will determine what you will reap later.. Whatever You Give To Life, Life Gives You Back.

An Adventurous Night
It was a normal Sunday and as usual I was watching a movie.
I had a fixed routine of downloading movie on Saturday night and enjoying it on Sunday.
It was Housefull 2 this time. I was lost in the song Right Now Now..watching shazahn padamsee in a completely hot and sexy avatar. Suddenly my phone started ringing...It was my school friend Shelly.
Though we were school mates but we hardly talked with each other in school. It was 1 year back when I meet her again on where else than Facebook. In school she used to be a girl with 2 ponies, hairs completely dipped in oil, a complete distraction..But man..look at her now..I was stunned for some time when I looked at her profile pic..Is she the same Shelly which used to be my school mate or some babe ready to rock the party. She had a complete makeover..A distraction has changed into attraction...
Silky hair, killing smile, amazing dressing sense was what I could see, though she appeared to be a big fat but that was okay.
Without wasting any time I send her a friend request which was accepted at that instant itself.
She was online and I managed to pull up a conversation with her. Than it become a daily routine for both of us. We talked a lot though most of them were a complete non sense. But than it is a friend who understands and even agrees with your non sense, so we were going good.
She was a different person than what she appeared to be. No attitude gal, Bindas, Down to earth, jolly,free bird, prankster were few of her characteristics.
We had become good friends and used to enjoy each others company.
Hey Shelly...how are you?.
I am fine dude..Guess where am I?.
Mumbai..Is it? I inquired.
Yup, she confirmed.
wow...what a pleasant surprise..welcome to mumbai babes..
Hey Ankit, I am here only for today and I wanna explore mumbai to the fullest.
Help me yaar...I wanna meet one of my friend also..Can you accompany me as I am new to this place?
Who wanted to miss her company and more than that she was my friend..
I read somewhere that a friend in need is a friend in deed..So I was ready to accompany her.
But than it was already 8 pm and yet we had no plans made.
I asked her to come to Jogeshwari Station around 8:30 so that we can reach Prabhadevi, where her friend lived,around 9:15 pm and get back by 11.
It was already 9 and I was waiting for her from last 45 mins. Around 9:15 she reached Jogeshwari Station. I was ready to rebuke her for coming so late and making me wait for 1 complete hour.
But than her smile and a warm hug melted everything.
I am really sorry ankit for coming late but you know gals take some time to prepare themselves before going out...
Lets hurry up ankit, you can watch me in the train also..she chuckled..
We boarded a slow local to churchgate around 9:25.
Though the crowd was less but everyone had their eyes on her only. I tried to play the role of Salman Khan from BodyGuard protecting her from all the goons around...:P
We got into our as usual non sense mode..talking on silly topics and laughing about them endlessly..
Before people were about to declare us mad and throw out of the train, we ourselves got out as the station was Mahalaxmi and we wanted to go to Prabhadevi.
It was 10:20 and we were already late.
Quickly we took a taxi and told him the address where we wanted to go.
Her friend Meenal was also my school buddy and we used to play Table Tennis together..She was my school Crush..:P..Though she was shelly's best friend but it was I who was more excited to meet her.
I started asking shelly about meenal, her past life, company she is working in..and lastly if she is hooked, booked or cooked..:P..
She is already hooked dude, so don't try hard for her..she chuckled..
After 20 mins we reached her building which was in Adarsh Nagar near Century Bazaar.
We kept looking here and there and finally a figure emerged out of the window waving her hand towards us. After 5 mins she came downstairs and man why would I not fall for her again..
Though she was not ready to rock a party but she looked no less sexier than what I thought her to be.
And than the Ladies version of Bharat Milaap started. Both of them hugged each other as if they had met after years of isolation..:P
It was an awkward situation for me as both of them were treating me as Mr India..:P
The security guard was giving me harsh questioning looks as what I was doing here with a gal around 11:30 in the night.
After their Bharat Milaap finally ended , they suddenly came to know that I was also there..:X
Meenal and I shook hands and asked about each other current life.
Meenal told Shelly to come upstairs as she was eager to show her the new dresses she had brought this weekend. I smiled at security guard as I was soon going to accompany him..:(
But shelly turned out to be an intelligent gal and became reluctant to come upstairs as it was already quite late...11:45 pm..
Meenal asked us about our current plan..
We are going to Haji Ali juice center as shelly is feeling very hungry and than from there we will go to marine drive..
Marine Drive, (a long pause) well we went there some time before only and returned around 2 am, Meenal said excitedly..It's really fun going there..she chuckled
Why don't you also accompany us, it will be lot of fun together, and it has been a long time since we guys enjoyed together, so please come na..,Shelly requested her.
I can't come dear, have some work to finish, you guys enjoy, she said with a wink.
Shelly was feeling very hungry so according to our plan I decided to take her to Haj Ali juice center.
I asked the taxi driver to stop at Haji Ali Dargah so that I can show her the gr88 dargah too..
We were walking on the footpath of the highway when some goons on their bike came our way...
They passed some disgusting comments about her which I couldn't resist, so I responded back..
Their bikes stopped and here my heart...they were 6 and I was alone with a gal..
They turned their bikes and were about to head towards us when a police jeep came that way and I had a sigh of relief..
We quickly took a taxi and asked him to take us to mahalaxmi station..
It was already 12:30 and we have been quite late, so I asked shelly to return back to Jogeshwari, but she insisted on having a walk at marine drive as she has heard a lot about it and wanted to see it from so long...I had no other option than take her to marine drive. As soon as I entered the station, two police man were standing there. They saw me and started interrogating, Where did I wanted to go?
Who is the gal? What were we doing so late night ?..
I explained them that she was my sister and we were here for a birthday party of our friend. It just got over now, so we were heading back home to Jogeshwari.
They told me to go to Central Line as there was no train to Jogeshwari from here.
I quickly explained everything to her and finally she dropped the idea of Marine drive.
Now we were on our way to Central Line in faint hope to get a train to Andheri as watch was ticking 1:00 am. Quickly we entered the station , but unfortunately the last train to Andheri has just passed 5 mins before..:(
I was frightened, confused and concerned about the situation we were in.
She had a flight to Indore at 7 am and I had my office too.
But more than that I was worried about my arrangement for the night as shelly would stay at Meenal's place but I had no friends there.
I should be happy as it was an opportunity for me to become one night security guard, but I was sad and agitated.
Shelly had a smile on her face as if nothing has happened, and I was some super hero who was there for her rescue..Seeing me worried a person came near and asked where I wanted to go.
He looked decent from face but in today's world decent looking people are the most dangerous criminals.
I told him that we wanted to go to Jogeshwari but there is no train running now.
He showed me his van and told me that there are 3 more women passengers to andheri, so I need not worry.It will be Rs 200 to Jogeshwari, he affirmed.
I had no other option than to believe on his words, but before agreeing to his offer I asked shelly about her take on it. She too agreed and told that as I am with her so she need not worry.
Well this was something big for me..Why was she trusting me so much? Was there something cooking in her mind?. But there was no time for thinking all this as first we had to reach home safely.
We sat in van and finally I felt a bit of relief. After dropping those 3 women he asked where we wanted him to drop us. Bhaiya Military Marol Road par chalo, Shelly replied quickly..There we have Bharat Palace hotel, please drop us there.
I don't know the way to that place, a reply that was least expected from him..
It was 1:45 am, mid night already and we were not knowing the way to our destination..phew..why was all this happening with us? What else was in store for us?
Anyways we moved on asking directions from people who were still not asleep..Among them were few rickshaw walas, taxi walas, bike walas and cycle walas. Some said right, some left and few even told us to go 1 km in reverse direction..finally luck favored us and we found few police walas strolling there.
They told us that we were quite near and few left and rights will take us there. It was 2:15 on the clock and at last we were standing outside Bharat Palace Hotel. We looked at each other and started laughing..She told me that it was her most adventurous night ever and she loved it..
Finally she said thanx, we hugged and I was in the van again to head towards my home...:)
I had a fixed routine of downloading movie on Saturday night and enjoying it on Sunday.
It was Housefull 2 this time. I was lost in the song Right Now Now..watching shazahn padamsee in a completely hot and sexy avatar. Suddenly my phone started ringing...It was my school friend Shelly.

The most amazing trip of my life..
I was super excited to see the mail from Indiblogger in my Inbox...It read Congratulations from Indiblogger and Cox & Kings. Yipieee I won an exotic holiday to Thailand that too on a Cruise...
I was on cloud9...
Without wasting a single minute I called my GF Isha to give her this gr88 news..
"I have a surprise for you sweetheart..we will be celebrating your b'day at some far away place this time"..I chuckled...She was far more smart than I thought her to be.."Ohh so the results are out I guess",she said in a notorious tone..
Yes they are out and I have won an exotic holiday to Thailand that too on a cruise..but sorry baby , this time I would be accompanied by the most beautiful gal in my team, my Project Lead Aparna, I hope after this when appraisals are there she would have my name on topic of the list...:P..I tried to agitate her..
"Darling its April and the appraisals are already been done...Though I belong to a different industry but for us also the financial year ends on March itself", she said laughingly...All my efforts went in vain..:(
You are a smart gal ,I told her...Nways we would be leaving on 5th May and it will be a 3D/4N tour..Please talk to your Manager about leaves beforehand itself..I started imagining about the Magnificent Cruise ...its luxurious facilities, Thailand beaches...wow...We are going to have greatest time of our life there..
Suddenly there was a call waiting from Mom and I came back to reality..Time to go, mom's call.
Start your shopping my gal we have only 15 day left, saying this I cut the call.
Finally 5th May arrived and I was all set to for the Thailand excursion. We were told to reach the Mumbai Port trust around 6 pm,where the Cruise was waiting for us.
I had informed Isha about the timings and told her to directly reach the port from office around 5 pm.
I reached there by 4:45 but could't find many people around. After half and hour the crowd started to gather.
I was really angry and agitated as it was already 5:30 and she was no where around.
As I was about to call her the phone rang, it was her, I am really sorry but I wont be able to accompany you. My Manager just told us an hour ago that we have a client visit tomorrow and everyone is supposed to be present in the office.You know how much I wanted to come for this trip, I am really sorry baby,but I can't do anything.
If I was on cloud9 after winning the holiday trip, this time it has hell9 , as I was really very angry and agitated.

If I was on cloud9 after winning the holiday trip, this time it has hell9 , as I was really very angry and agitated.
I was about to throw the tickets and all other documents in the sea but than decided to travel alone as I had a dream to travel by cruise and was not going to miss it.
The ship left the dock around 6:30. We were served with a welcome drink and a pamper pack upon arrival. Drink tasted gr88. Pamper pack had shampoo,conditioner,soap and a lotion...nice..:)
We were than asked to explore all the facilities that they had on the cruise, right from pub,disc,swimming pool,sport junction, gaming zone, massage parlor to the grand Casino...
I was super excited to enter Casino and see how people lose millions in a single night..:P
There we so many tables there and people were happily waiting to lose their money ..how weird..:P
So after exploring all the places, finally I moved on to the most amazing place on a ship...Its Deck..
The cool breeze was slowly stroking my hair and face..the sound of water when it hit the ship was amazing..Its was really romantic and I was missing my GF badly..:(
I don't drink usually but that night i tried because people usually say that whisky is the best medicine for Love, so i decided to try it. I went to the pub which was situated in the middle of the ship.
It was really big and half of the crowd was enjoying there. I took a place near the bar counter and asked for something good in whisky. It took me 15 mins to decide what to have..finally I had Teachers..:P
Donno how I managed to finish the complete bottle, but I did it. Than I decided to go back to Deck and have some fresh air. I was completely drunk and had no control on myself. There was a box kept at the corner of the ship and I tried to stand on it so that I can have a clear view of the sea. In trying to do that I lost my control and was about to fall in the sea, but was caught by a hand from behind.
She was a gorgeous gal with cute dimples.
Had a glow that can charm anyone, I was so lost in her that I didn't tried to pull back myself but had her also with me. Both of us fell on a boat which was tied to the ship and was used for emergency purposes. The impact of the fall was tremendous and I lost my consciousness.
When I got up there were around 10 faces staring at me as if I was not a human but some alien..:P
Anyways I was searching for my lady and finally found her...playing volleyball..!!!!
What was she doing there, instead of sitting beside me..:(
What was this place...?? what was happening..??
Finally she came running in my direction...Man I was lost again seeing that glow..her skin had a shine which I had never seen before..
Hey how are you feeling now..?? My name is Kyra..
Better now..I am Ankit...
Shacking hands and knowing more about each other was what followed next...
"So where are we and what's going on here?" I asked looking completely puzzled.
We are on an Island named Elena, named after the greatest beach volley ball player Elena.
We have a beach volleyball tournament here on the occasion of her birthday.
I love playing beach volleyball,I just love beaches for this game..But I don't have a partner..
Would you mind joining me? Do u know how to play volleyball?
Also I have informed the captain of the ship about our location, so don't worry, soon a boat will reach here to get us..:)
I was confused, what to say..?, I wanted to have enjoy her company, but than Table Tennis was what I loved, volley ball was not my game. I used to play it in my school and had seldom played it after that.
But I didn't wanted to disappoint her, so I said YES.
It was summer season and everyone wore a hat or a scarf for protection from sun, but Kyra looked as if she didn't cared at all. She was happily enjoying her sunbath without worrying about any sunburn or tanning of body...
I couldn't resist myself from asking her the secret behind her liveliness in a hot sunny day.
How do you manage to keep yourself so fresh and beautiful even on a burning noon..?, I inquired.
She with a smile pulled out something which looked like a sun screen.
This is my ammunition against sun....LAKME SUN EXPERT..
Why don't you try it too..? It would help protect your skin from the sun and keep u fresh and alive..
You would also be able to give your 100% in the tournament...
The dress code for the tournament was shorts and bikini for gals and only shorts for boys..One thing I disliked about a beach trip was tanning of skin that too when you are only in shorts, but now I had a solution for it...I was happy..:)
As the tournament was going to start, we applied the sunscreen quickly and took our seats.
She had a great figure and I was mesmerized when she came wearing the attire required for the tournament..
Our first match was against a couple from India only. We won 21-10, 21-14..:)
Continuing our wining streak we quickly moved into the Quarter Finals of the tournament..
She was a classic player and my smashes too were on target. Our jodi created the magic again and we moved into the semis..But this time we were against the defending champions...people said that,if we nailed this 1,the trophy was ours..
Some quick words of motivation and a treat from my side if we won the tournament was what I offered her before entering the court again.
We gave each other a hi5 and the game started.
It was a breathtaking match...a neck to neck battle which we finally won 21-19, 21-19..
Phew...I had a sigh of relief as we entered into the finals, just one step away from winning the trophy..
Now we were relaxed as if we have won the tournament..We took our opponents lightly and hence paid the price..damn the first set was gone...we were 1 down...:(
We told each other to hold on to our nerves and enjoy the game..
Smash..!!! in between both of them...and the set was ours. We were back in the game with a fire..
Next set was just a formality...we won the match..finals and tournament 12-21, 21-17, 21-9..:):)
Kyra hugged me tightly and for a second I forgot that I had a GF too..:P
Wow...it was a gr88 feeling to win a tournament with such a beautiful lady..on a wonderful beach of Elena....when just 5 hours ago the only thing I knew was, I was lost..:(
It was time for celebrations and we went to a resort which was the only resort on the island.
I had a small bar but contained all the brands of drinks you can think of..
I took my favorite Teachers and she ordered for 3 Tequila shots..
After 1 hour of hardcore drinking we went on the dance floor to shake our body.
After some time suddenly a romantic number made its way through. I was a bit hesitant but than it was my chance. I asked for the lady's hand and she approved for it.
Her hand was in mine, slowly we came close, peeping deep in to each other's eyes, a kiss was the demand of the situation and I was ready for it...
But suddenly the song changed...i could hear a tune which was so familiar...my mobile ringtone...!!!!
Who had such a wrong timing..?? Who was this stupid person calling me..?
I reached for the mobile which was in my jeans pocket..but what the hell..!! how did a jeans got converted to a lower..? What was happening...????
All of sudden I got up..The place looked like my room..clock showed 8 am..
Was it a dream..?? Was Kyra a beautiful gal of my fantasy world..??
Again my mobile rang...it was Isha..
I picked the call quickly..
Hey baby get up fast..today you need to go to office early..remember??
We have a cruise waiting for us on Mumbai port trust..I will get there by 5 as decided..
Okay than C u in the evening sweetheart...Love you..The call got cut..
There were mixed emotions..I was really happy that my GF was accompanying me on the trip..
But than Kyra was still running through my mind...A sunshine girl playing volleyball on a beach was what I could imagine..!!!!

The ship left the dock around 6:30. We were served with a welcome drink and a pamper pack upon arrival. Drink tasted gr88. Pamper pack had shampoo,conditioner,soap and a lotion...nice..:)
We were than asked to explore all the facilities that they had on the cruise, right from pub,disc,swimming pool,sport junction, gaming zone, massage parlor to the grand Casino...
I was super excited to enter Casino and see how people lose millions in a single night..:P
There we so many tables there and people were happily waiting to lose their money ..how weird..:P
So after exploring all the places, finally I moved on to the most amazing place on a ship...Its Deck..
The cool breeze was slowly stroking my hair and face..the sound of water when it hit the ship was amazing..Its was really romantic and I was missing my GF badly..:(
I don't drink usually but that night i tried because people usually say that whisky is the best medicine for Love, so i decided to try it. I went to the pub which was situated in the middle of the ship.
It was really big and half of the crowd was enjoying there. I took a place near the bar counter and asked for something good in whisky. It took me 15 mins to decide what to have..finally I had Teachers..:P
Donno how I managed to finish the complete bottle, but I did it. Than I decided to go back to Deck and have some fresh air. I was completely drunk and had no control on myself. There was a box kept at the corner of the ship and I tried to stand on it so that I can have a clear view of the sea. In trying to do that I lost my control and was about to fall in the sea, but was caught by a hand from behind.
She was a gorgeous gal with cute dimples.
Had a glow that can charm anyone, I was so lost in her that I didn't tried to pull back myself but had her also with me. Both of us fell on a boat which was tied to the ship and was used for emergency purposes. The impact of the fall was tremendous and I lost my consciousness.
When I got up there were around 10 faces staring at me as if I was not a human but some alien..:P
Anyways I was searching for my lady and finally found her...playing volleyball..!!!!
What was she doing there, instead of sitting beside me..:(
What was this place...?? what was happening..??
Finally she came running in my direction...Man I was lost again seeing that glow..her skin had a shine which I had never seen before..
Hey how are you feeling now..?? My name is Kyra..
Better now..I am Ankit...
Shacking hands and knowing more about each other was what followed next...
"So where are we and what's going on here?" I asked looking completely puzzled.
We are on an Island named Elena, named after the greatest beach volley ball player Elena.
We have a beach volleyball tournament here on the occasion of her birthday.
I love playing beach volleyball,I just love beaches for this game..But I don't have a partner..
Would you mind joining me? Do u know how to play volleyball?
Also I have informed the captain of the ship about our location, so don't worry, soon a boat will reach here to get us..:)
I was confused, what to say..?, I wanted to have enjoy her company, but than Table Tennis was what I loved, volley ball was not my game. I used to play it in my school and had seldom played it after that.
But I didn't wanted to disappoint her, so I said YES.
It was summer season and everyone wore a hat or a scarf for protection from sun, but Kyra looked as if she didn't cared at all. She was happily enjoying her sunbath without worrying about any sunburn or tanning of body...
I couldn't resist myself from asking her the secret behind her liveliness in a hot sunny day.
How do you manage to keep yourself so fresh and beautiful even on a burning noon..?, I inquired.
She with a smile pulled out something which looked like a sun screen.
This is my ammunition against sun....LAKME SUN EXPERT..
Why don't you try it too..? It would help protect your skin from the sun and keep u fresh and alive..
You would also be able to give your 100% in the tournament...
The dress code for the tournament was shorts and bikini for gals and only shorts for boys..One thing I disliked about a beach trip was tanning of skin that too when you are only in shorts, but now I had a solution for it...I was happy..:)
As the tournament was going to start, we applied the sunscreen quickly and took our seats.
She had a great figure and I was mesmerized when she came wearing the attire required for the tournament..
Our first match was against a couple from India only. We won 21-10, 21-14..:)
Continuing our wining streak we quickly moved into the Quarter Finals of the tournament..
She was a classic player and my smashes too were on target. Our jodi created the magic again and we moved into the semis..But this time we were against the defending champions...people said that,if we nailed this 1,the trophy was ours..
Some quick words of motivation and a treat from my side if we won the tournament was what I offered her before entering the court again.
We gave each other a hi5 and the game started.
It was a breathtaking match...a neck to neck battle which we finally won 21-19, 21-19..
Phew...I had a sigh of relief as we entered into the finals, just one step away from winning the trophy..
Now we were relaxed as if we have won the tournament..We took our opponents lightly and hence paid the price..damn the first set was gone...we were 1 down...:(
We told each other to hold on to our nerves and enjoy the game..

MAA TUJHE SALAAM..!!
Aapka aashirwaad mera aasmaa..
Aap ho khuda se bhi badkar mere liye..
Meri maa..meri maa..meri maa..
Meri har ek zidd ko..
Puraa kiya hai aapne..
Apna har din bhulkar..
Har pal mere liye jiyaa hai aapne..
Mujhe khushiya dene ke liye..
Khud humesha gumo ko gale lagati rahi..
Mujhe chen ki nind den eke liye..
Khudko raato me jagaati rahi..
Mere mann ki hare k baat..
Aap humesha jaan jaati ho..
Hasi ke pichhe chhupe aansuo ko bhi..
Humesha pehchaan jaati ho..
Aapki mamta ka karz..
Me kaise kabhi chukaaunga..
Jo bhi kiya hai aapne mere liye..
Use kaise kabhi bhulaaunga..
Aapke roop me mene..
Dekha hai bhagwaan..
Aap ho khuda se bhi badkar mere liye..
Meri maa..meri maa..meri maa..:)))))))))))
