c) My True Best Friend
d) What YOU are to ME
6. As You got up this morning.......
11) Are you a Rajini Fan??????
12) Can't LIVE Without and Can't LIVE With! GUESS What???
Your face, your smile, I have never seen
I don't know the color of your skin
Your voice and laughter I have never heard
I don't know if it is soft or loud
Your hugs I have never felt
I don't know the strength of your arms
Your hand I have never touched
I don't know if it is calloused and worn
But to me you are my FRIEND
Dearer and sweeter than many I've found.
The question come to me, "How can that be?"
You don't know a face, a touch or a sound
But is it the physical nature of a person
That causes me to call you "my friend"
Or the feel of a touch or the strength of a hug?
I don't need those for you to be my friend
You have shared with me words of strength
At times I have felt weak and worn
You have brought to me a smile, a laugh
Uplifting me and bringing me joy
You have bent your "ear" to me and listened
Then gently guided and directed me with your words
You have hugged me tight and wiped my tears
Then generously gave to me above and beyond
You are more to me than words on a screen
For behind those words is a person who cares
A person with feelings, a tear, and a laugh
Who holds my mind safe and secure
For even though I don't know your face, your touch
I feel and see you in my mind
You have been all to me that I needed you to be.
Now and forever within my heart ---
MY FACELESS FRIEND
If you think you are beaten,
you are;
If you think you dare not,
you don't;
if you like to win,
but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose,
you've lost;
For out in the world
we find
success begins
with a person's faith;
It's all in
the state of mind.
Life's battles don't
always go
to the stronger or
faster hand;
They go the one
who trust in God
and always thinks
"I can".
To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade,
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a
premature baby,
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper,
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to
meet,
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train,
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an
accident,
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask a person who won a silver
medal in the Olympics,
Treasure every moment that you have!And treasure it more because you
shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.
And remember time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift...
That's why it's called the present!!!
THE PERFECT FRIEND

Today I found a friend
who knew everything I felt
she knew my weakness
and the problems I've been dealt.
She understood my wonders
and listened to my dreams,
she listened to how I felt about life and love
and knew what it all means.
Not once did she interrupt me
or tell me I was wrong
she understood what I was going through
and promised she'd stay long.
I reached out to this friend,
to show her that I care
to pull her close and let her know
how much I need her there.
I went to hold her hand
to pull her a bit nearer
and I realized this perfect friend I found
was nothing but a mirror.

A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like those blades of grass
you can never mow,
standing straight, tall, and proud
in a perfect little row.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend.
I would hate to say it,
but our friendship just can't last.
The wonderful times we shared together,
have faded to the past.
I told you it would happen,
that our friendship was bound to end.
Although I know you care,
I cannot consider you as a friend.
Please don't try to argue,
just try to understand.
That time can change people,
as the tide can change the sand.
Our friendship has been lovely,
but you see it has an end.
For now I fell in a different way,
I've fallen in love with you my friend.

My best friend and I
Always seem to fight,
But he's there when I need him,
He talks to me at night.
He's the greatest person
Anyone could ever imagine,
He's kind and funny,
He sends love out like magic.
He always knows
Whenever I'm sad,
Whenever I need to cry
He's there.
Sometimes he's been
The only one who understood,
My best friend's
The only one who would.
Next year he'll be
So very far away,
But next to me
Is how he'll always stay.
'Cause you see that my best friend,
Just happens to be my brother,
And Bubba, no matter what
I'll always love ya.

A quick glance, a tender smile,
I am caught in a spell.
A gentle touch, a warm embrace,
I know that all too well.
A soft voice, an unspoken love,
Across the way I see.
A kind face, an inner beauty,
That's what you are to me.
© 1996, Sherry L. Carty
A friend is like a shining star,
coming out where ever you are.
When the darkness is all there is to greet you
your star will be there to always lead you.
Shining the way for you to see,
the path you need forever to be.
So when the darkness falls before your eyes,
your shining star is there, just look toward the skies.
© 1996, Melissa Kress
We had a friendship pure and true,
A friendship time could never cease,
That in sad moments, could renew,
And bring to us release,
We had a friendship, you and I,
That was taken much for granted.
We thought that it would never die,
Much like the seed that we have planted.
And in such haste did we forget,
The love required to grow,
And at our feet it shall be set,
Drowning from feelings never shown.
Maybe we can save this seed before its time is through,
For I've never had a friendship, as the one i have with you.

Will you remember all the days
when I was there with you,
remembering my smile and my laughter?
Or will you forget
and dwell in the lost instead,
mourning for your friend’s farewell?
A portrait of my existence
lies deep within your heart,
cherishing the memories we once shared.
Or will you decide
nothing is worth keeping,
losing the special dream you once held?
Love will never die.
Love is deep inside.
Friendships are forever.
Remember my love for you.
I am always there,
watching over you.
To give inspiration
and strength when you may fail
in a world of fears.
Will you continue to dream
and breathe the wonders of life,
striving to be who you want to be?
Or will you succumb
to the defeats in life,
failing to never overcome?
Dreams will never die.
Strength is deep inside.
Friendships are forever.
Remember my faith in you.
I am always there,
believing in you.
To give encouragement
and love when you may fail
in a world of fears.

Understand
the wave of sorrows
flowing through
Life’s many rivers
Listen to
the sound of sad teardrops
Realize
the rain of sadness
weeping with
Love’s many heartaches
Feel the tide
of wanting a true love
The ocean is full and wide
Treasures everywhere
Lakes and seas will join together as one
Accept Love’s
truest form,
Pure since Time’s first beginning
Renew Life’s
promises,
Unbroken until Time’s death
Remember
Childhood vows
forever sealed yesterday
Cherished words
Never will fade
Impressions will always stay
Motivate
the search for tomorrows
streaming through
Life’s different waters
Listen to
the sound of new heartbeats
Visualize
the cries of laughter
smiling with
Love’s different bondings
Feel the joy
of living a romance
The world is full and wide
Treasures everywhere
Hope and faith will join together as one
Remember
Childhood vows
forever sealed yesterday
Cherished words
Never will fade
Impressions will always stay
You made me remember the good times
When i could only remember the bad
You promised me a return
Of the peace i long ago had
You never left me alone
When that was what i wrongly thought i needed
You never dwelt on my faults
Instead you pointed out when i had succeeded
You made me laugh
When i felt i would cry
You made me live
When i wished to die.

Thanks to FRIENDSHIP SITE(for friendship poems)
We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.
We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.
We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.
Why is it on screen, we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.
Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.
Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names.
This was sent to ME by Srinivasan
As you got up this morning, I watched you and hoped you would talk to
me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me
for something good that happened in your life yesterday - but I noticed
you were to busy trying to find the right outfit to put on and wear to
work.
I waited again. When you ran around the house getting ready I knew there
would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too
busy. At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do
except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought
you wanted to talk to me but you ran to the phone and called a friend to
get the latest gossip.
I watched as you went to work and I waited patiently all day long. With
all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me. I
noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed
to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three
or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me
briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay.
There is still more time left, and I have hope that you will talk to me
yet you went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After
a few of them were done you turned on the TV, I don't know if you like
TV or not, just about anything goes there & you spent a lot of time each
day in front of it, not thinking about anything - just enjoying the
show.
I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal but
again you didn't talk to me.
Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your
family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay
because you may not realize that I am always there for you. I've got
patience more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to
be patient with others as well.
I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought or
a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided
conversation. Well you are getting up again and once again I will wait
with nothing but love for you hoping that today you will give me some
time. Have a nice day!
Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone
And I never see my old friend's face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell,
And he rang mine.
If, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say, "I will call on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner! - yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir-"
"Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

life that counts.

celebrated.
I've learned -
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every
once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

for your grief.
I've learned -
That background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but

That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love
each other,and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

change.

"Dear Valli"
You must be suprised to receive this " puthu kavithai". I am your
secret
" Kathalan " and my name is " Muthu ". Though I am " Padikhathavan".
I
am also your "Kavalan" and you are my "Idhaya Thamarai". Wouldn't you
like to be my parents "Marumagal" and make me the "Baadcha"of your
life. I'm "Ayirathil oruvan" and I'll
take you from "Madras to Paandicheeri". You look like "Puthu Vasantham"
most of the time but resemble " Batrakali" from some angles."Ullathai
Alli Tha".
I am "Thiruda Thiruda"so don't say "Idhayathai Thirudathe" .Lets
paint
this "Kathal Oviyam" together. I'll give you my "Idhayam" as "Kathal
Parisu". Your father is "Panakaran" and I'm "Maadi veethu elzhai" and
he
doesn't treat me as "Manithan". I have all the "Purusha Lakshanam".As a
"Gentleman" has"Idhayam" . Ask him to be careful because I can be a
"Moruthu Kaalai" when provoked. I'll tie the "Moondru Mudhichi"around
you and then you can tie me in your "Mundhanai mudhichu" . We'll get
married on "Subha Muhurtham" and enjoy the "Santhi Muhurtham" and
create
a "Mazhalai patthalam" or a "Kanmani Poonga". For the "Nooravathu Naal"
ceremony I'll buy you a "Metti" . I'll not be a "Kaavalan Avan
Kovalan"
that has a " Chinna Veedu". We can tell our grand children the
"Aarilirunthu arubathu varai" story of our "Valkai" and show them the
part of "Ragaventhra".
_______________________________________________________
Specially dedicated to"MUTHU",I am "VALLI" and I had received your
"KAADHAL KAVITHAI" three months before sorry for delay. Well,although
you wanna' be my secret
"KHADALAN" but I can't be yours. You know my father
Is a "PANAKKARAN". Not only that, he is a "V I P" too. I am his only
"PAASAMALAR" and he is my only "ANBULLA APPA". Please don't think this
is "KAADHAL DESAM" to build your "KAADHAL KOTTAI". For me "KAADHALIKKA
NERAMILLAI". I know you would say "KAALAMELLAM
KAATTIRUPEN" to me, but "LOVE TODAY" can't be believed. At starting
point "YELLAAME YEN KAADHALI" then "NEE PAATHI NAAN PAATHI" and finaly
"NEE YAARO NAAN YAARO". So,just forget all your "MINSARA KANAVU". But
there is a good news for you. As your wish, I really going to be your
parents "MARUMAGAL". Yes, I love your brother
"ARUNAACHALAM".He had promised me and said "UNNAYEH KALLYAANAM
PANNIKIREN" to me and within three years I'am going to be your "TAMBY
PONDAATHI".
"ARUNAACHALAM"is your "CHINNA TAMBY" right? He is the
"GENTLE MAN" that I had never seen before. There is no "MUTRU PULLI"
for our love and "VAANAME YELLAI". Therefore, I can't be your "KANAVU
KANNI" and because of me you don't be "DEVADASS". Finally, make your
life as "ULLASAM" as you can and just for you "KAALAMELLAM KAADHAL
VAAZHGA"!
"YENDRUM ANBUDAN",
"VALLI"
At first I noticed your presence.......then I felt your
presence.......and as days fleets by I started to miss your absence.
Some sort of "Priyam" filled my heart and I realized I had a feeling towards you. It was "Aasai', which later bloomed into love.I surrender myself ....."Thanthuvithen Ennai" to you. You were an ever glowing light in my "Idahaya Kovil". You have won a special place in my "Idhayam", a place which I had reserved for my "Avathara Purushan".You were the " V.I.P " of my heart. I still remember the "Sambavam" , where we standing "Nerrukku Ner" and agreed to be "Lovers". As we stepped into "Kadhal Palli" , we enjoyed ourselves in a paradise called "Kadhal Desam". There we were ...... ..I was your "Kaathali" and you were my "Kaadhalan". You were a blessed "Puthayal" for me from God. This was my starting point ......I was entering an era of "Ullasam" in my life. I enjoyed each moment being beside you. And as we both walked together I hearpeople say "Aaha enna porutham". Nothing else will give me happiness like I am feeling right now cause for me " Ellame en Rasathan". I want our relationship to grow as "Payanangal Mudivathillai".On "May Madham" this year you told me "Unnaiye Kalyanam Pannikirren". You added glory "Oru poo Vasantham" to my life. My heart beat was similar to "Alaigal Oyuvathilllai"waiting for the where we will be promoted from "Lovers" to husband and wife.
Suddenly a disaster ...an "Aruvadai Naal" moved towards our relationship. You told me that your mother's words were such as "Deiva Vakku" for you and now that you have no choice else to choose your "Aathamage Rathiname".
Look at me now, my life has turned into "Valve Mayam". What happened to your words "Unnakage Valgiren". My feelings "Solla Thudikkuthu Manasu" but my mouth is sealed as "Mouna Ragam". My love has now become "Kadalora Kavithaigal" for the "Lovers" to listen and learn.
You will like it if you like Rajni or a Rajni fan !

If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman
If you don't, you are not a man
If you praise her, she thinks you are lying
If you don't, you are good for nothing
If you agree to all her likes, she is abusing
If you don't, you are not understanding
If you make romance, you are an 'experienced man'
If you don't you are half a man
If you visit her too often, she thinks it is boring
If you don't, she accuses you of double crossing
If you are well dressed, she says you are a playboy
If you don't, you are a dull boy
If you are jealous, she says it's bad
If you don't , she thinks you do not love her
If you attempt a romance, she says you didn't respect her
If you don't, she thinks you do not like her
If you are a minute late, she complains it's hard to wait
If she is late, she says that's a girl's way
If you visit another, she accuses you of being a heel
If she is visited by another, 'oh it's natural, we are girls'
If you kiss her once in a while, she professes you are cold
If you kiss her too many, she yells that you are taking advantage
If you fail to help her in crossing the street, you lack ethics
If you do, she thinks it's just one of the man's tactics
If you stare at other, she accuses you of flirting
If she is stared by others, she says that they are just admiring
If you talk, she wants you to listen
If you listen, she wants you to talk
Oh God! you created those creatures called "WOMEN'
So simple, yet so complex
So weak, yet so powerful
So confusing, yet so desirable
"O LORD, tell me what to do. AMEN"
DAILY PRAYER
Our fileserver, who art on LAN
NETSERVER be thy name
Thy programmes come
Thy commands be done
In DOS, and sometimes in WINDOWS
Give us this day our daily login
And forgive us our hacking
As we forgive those who hack in our files
Lead us not into corrupt procedures
But deliver our email
For thine is the CPU, the powersource and the monitor
For ever until obsolescence
More to come....
