"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote few lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written.
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.
4. You don't have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.
5. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
6. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
7. Make peace with your past so it won't mess up the present.
8. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
9. Take a deep breath every now and then. It calms the mind.
10. Get rid of anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.
11. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
12. It's never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.
13. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
14. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy clothes. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
15. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
17. Always choose life.
18. Forgive others and yourself.
19. What other people think of you is none of your business.
20. Time heals almost everything. Give time a little time.
21. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
22. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
23. Believe in miracles.
24. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
25. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
26. Growing old beats the alternative of dying young.
27. Your children get only one childhood.
28. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
29. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
30. Envy is waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you need.
31. The best is yet to come...
32. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
33. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."
Its estimated that 93% won't share this. If you are one of the 7% who will, share this with the title '7%'.
I'm in the 7%. Friends are the family and family is best friends that you choose.

नगर-ग्राम, घर-द्वार स्वच्छकर
निर्मल तन-मन कर हरषे.
ऐसा लगे कि स्वर्ग सम्पदा
धराधाम पर खुद बरसे..
'रूप चतुर्दशी' पर्व मनाये
करे एक साथ कुछ हितकर.
आओ हम भी पर्व मनाएँ
दें प्रकाश दीपक बनकर..
सार्थक जीवन तब ही
जब औरों के कष्ट हरें.
एक-दूजे के सुख-दुःख बाँटें
इस धरती को स्वर्ग करें...
तन की तरह मन की स्वच्छता,सुन्दरता और निर्मलता का भी ध्यान रखते बीते वक्त हम सभी का।

आप पत्नी की नजर से दुनिया देखो -
* दुनिया का सबसे पर्फक्ट आदमी - उसका बाप!
* दुनिया की सबसे प्यारी औरत - उसकी माँ!
* दुनिया की सबसे अकलमंद औरत - वो खुद!
* दुनिया का सबसे दुःखी पति - उसका भाई!
* दुनिया की सबसे बङी चुङैल - उसकी भाभी!
* दुनिया का सबसे सुंदर लङका - उसका बेटा!
* दुनिया का सबसे नसीबवाला आदमी - उसकी बहन का पति!
* दुनिया की सबसे गंवार औरत - उसकी सास!

निकम्मा,

માવતર એજ મંદિર એ જ સનાતન સત્ય રાખજો
પછી રામ નામ સત્ય બોલવાનો શું અર્થ?
સમય કાઢી વૃધ્ધ વડીલો પાસે બેસી જાશો
પછી બેસણાંમાં ફોટા સામે બેસવા બેસાડવાનો શો અર્થ?
લાડકોડ પુરનાર માબાપને સદાય હૈયામાં રાખજો
પછી દિવાન ખંડમાં તસવીર રાખવાનો શું અર્થ ?
સાથે બેસી જમવાની એમની ઈચ્છા પ્રેમથી પુરી કરજો
પછી ગામ આખાને લાડવા જમાડવાનો શું અર્થ?
જીવતાંમાબાપને સ્નેહથી સાંભળશો
ગુમાવ્યા પછી "ગીતા" સાંભળવાનો શું અર્થ?
ઘરમાં બેઠેલા માબાપ રૂપી ભગવાનને ઓળખી લેજો
પછી અડસઠ તીર્થ ફરવાનો શું અર્થ?
વ્હાલની વર્ષા કરનારને વ્હાલથી ભીંજવી દેજો.
ચીર વિદાય પછી આંસુ સારવાથી શું અર્થ?
