A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.Read More......
"Your son is here," she said to the old man.
She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened.
Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.
The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile.
He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.
Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.
Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.
Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.
"Who was that man?" he asked.
The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered.
"No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life."
"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"
"I knew right away there had been a mistake,
but I also knew he needed his son, and his
son just wasn't here.
When I realized that he was too sick to tell
whether or not I was his son,
knowing how much he needed me, I stayed."
The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.

Blogger Backup Utility
Yiiiipeeeeeeee !! i found it..
Losing one's own hard written posts is a nightmare for any of us bloggers.. Two days ago a friend of mine lost all his posts, all his thoughts and feelings that he had tried to express in the form of words.. What worst can happen to a blogger.. He had his blog in Wordpress. He called the support centre and asked them about it but didn't get a satisfactory answer from them.. :(
This incident sent shivers through my spine and i just crossed my fingers then.. The first thing i did was to search for a user friendly Backup Utility.. A tedious search resulted in an easy-to-use backup utility for Blogger
I got the utility from here
It has really eased my task of taking backups and i have all my posts safely stored on my hard drive as well as flash drive (for xtra safety) ;)
Believe me its just awesome.. the easiness alongwith great functionality is the main thing that attracts me towards it..

Lets Talk Dil Dosti !
Recently i took out some time to watch a movie.... Though it was tough deciding abt which movie to watch my search or rather my interest ended on the latest bollywood movie "Dil Dosti etc."
Initially the movie seems to be too dull and boring unlike a hindi movie but gradually the mood catches up and i felt that the choice was good... Great direction by Manish Tewary.. He has experimented with a total new cast on a some 'hatke' topic... The film revolves around the actors of the film namely Imaad Shah, Shreyas Talpade and Nikita Anand... The topic describes what the majority of current youth is upto and what are their 'dreams'...
Shreyas is a middle-class family boy from Bihar aspiring to become a student leader in the college talking about student empowerment.. He doesn't have problems showing guns or giving some blows to resolve his work...
Imaad is from a upper-class family who just knows how to waste money and searches for love in different girls... For him nothing matters to get success... Not even relationships..
Nikita dreams of becoming a model and belongs to the upper class family... For her also relationships don't matter much if they are becoming stones in her way to success... She breaks her relationship with Shreyas when they both get into a heated discussion about her modelling career..
On a final note the movie touched my heart and it seemed to me that this is exactly what is happening to today's youth... The movie end on a serious note with some great dialogues...
Talkin about music, i love two of its songs, one is the first song "Dum Laga" and another is "Lamha Ye Jayega Kahan".. The second one is a masterpiece i feel...
It goes like this :
khushanuma, aawaara sa, besabab, bechaara sa lamha tha
jindagi ke aasmaan mein tuta sa woh taara tha, tanha tha
keh rahein hai zarrein dekho, raaston se gujra tha yahaan
dhundatein hai usako lekin gaayab hai pairon ke nishaan
lamha yeh jaayega kahaan - 2
lamha kahaan yeh kho gaya, ik pal mein tanha ho gaya
aaye jo mausam naye, manjar badal jaayenge
shaakhon se patte gire, girake kidhar jaayenge
keh rahein hai zarrein dekho, raaston se gujra tha yahaan
dhundatein hai usako lekin gaayab hai pairon ke nishaan
(lamha yeh jaayega kahaan - 2
lamha kahaan yeh kho gaya, ik pal mein tanha ho gaya) - 2
shabnam ka katra hai yeh, sholein bujha jaayega
kar jaayega aankhein nam yaadon mein bas jaayega
baarisho ki bundein barase, baadalon ke dil halke huye
jaane pehchaane chehron ke aks bhi kyun dhundalein huye
(lamha yeh jaayega kahaan - 2
tanha yeh jaayega kahaan - 2) - 3
