Looooooong time no see.........

well, well.......i know its been a long time that i wrote anything.....not because i was so overloaded with work or because had nothing to write about( Mumbai mein reh kar aisa kehna gunah hai!!). Simply because i was most of the times too free to do anything(u know sometimes u've nothing to do, and u keep cribbing about the same and even if thrs something which u can do....but u still wont do it nd keep complaining).
Anyways.....right now i'll just put a wonderful poetry i read in "Little Women"......its a wonderful novel by Louisa May Alcott.

Queen of my tub, I merrily sing,
While the white foam rises high,
And sturdily wash and rinse and wring,
And fasten the clothes to dry.
Then out in the free fresh air they swing,
Under the sunny sky.

I wish we could wash from our hearts and souls
The stains of the week away,
And let water and air by their magic make
Ourselves as pure as they.
Then on the earth there would be indeed,
A glorious washing day!

Along the path of a useful life,
Will heartsease ever bloom.
The busy mind has no time to think
Of sorrow or care or gloom.
And anxious thoughts may be swept away,
As we bravely wield a broom.

I am glad a task to me is given,
To labor at day by day,
For it brings me health and strength and hope,
And I cheerfully learn to say,
"Head, you may think, Heart, you may feel,
But, Hand, you shall work alway!"
