he can never be mine

These feelings have gone too far,
my love has grown too strong.
But I can never have him,
so, please tell me that these feelings shouldn't belong.

I feel he knows,
I feel he doesn't care.
But I don't want to know that,
for the pain I cannot bear.

I have to give him up,
I have to find another,
But sometimes I feel like saying to myself,
"Don't even bother."

Because, I know I can't
and it would be a waste of my time
To even try to get rid
Of these feelings of mine.

I've loved him for so long
And I can love him for forever,
But why can't I see
That we'll never be together?

The bond I felt was fake and wrong,
I raised false hopes and couldn't see it for so long.
That he and I are different and will never be,
We'll take separate paths and he'll never see,

How much he means to me and how much I care,
To love a guy this deep again... I will not dare.

to my love

You wait your entire life
for that special love.
Then it is unreachable.
Perhaps because of fear,
perhaps because of
circumstances
or perhaps because
of love itself.

A special love that
leaves an emptiness within you
if you cannot hear the
other person's voice.
But that makes you feel
whole again with one
gentle hello

A special love of longing
night after night
for just the sight of them.
or just the feeling of knowing
that they may care too.

A love that you know in this lifetime
you will never feel again.
Nor would ever want to feel again,
if it brings you this much pain
not to have it.

Oh, my special love
please come to me
My special one please hold me
and tell me this is not all
for nothing.

That deep within your soul
your love is the same as mine.
We belong together.
We need each other
to make our lives complete.
My only one
My treasured one
My special love.

Proud to be an indian!!!!

Are Mobile Phones a Health Hazard?

Much debate has been raised in the recent times regarding the ill effects of mobile phones on the human health. With a total of 2.7 billion mobile phone subscribers in the world, this surely is an alarming proposition. As the world gets increasingly dependant on wireless modes of communication, serious concerns have been raised regarding the effects of electromagnetic radiation on human health. While a few studies seem to be in support of the claims, a majority of research reports have remained inconclusive. It is therefore, time for us to take a detailed look at the possible health risks posed by mobile phones, if any.

The primary risk that mobile phones may pose to human beings is that of radiation. Typically, mobile phones operate by emitting certain Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) that transmitted through the antenna of the phone. Although these emissions are of a very low level, the presence of the antenna right next to the brain is what concerns certain researchers, since the head tends to absorb such radiations.

Academy Awards 2008 : A Glittering Night

The most glamorous and prestigious event of the entertainment world, the Academy Awards, stepped into its eightieth year on February 24, 2008, in a gala event at the famed Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California. Popularly known as the Oscars, the Academy Awards are presented every year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in recognition of excellence of professionals in the film industry. With actors, directors, scriptwriters, musicians and other professionals around the world vying for the coveted statuette, the Oscars have become one of the most eagerly awaited events of the present times.

This year, however, the show was in danger of being an absolute dampener. With striking Hollywood writers' associations calling for a boycott of the event and many actors joining in support, hardly anything could have been done to stop the event from losing its sheen. However, the strike was called off just in time, and with eleven days in hand, preparations were finalised
