Expectations....!!!

All relations are ruined by expectations

Wife's expectation : husband, who is fulfilling every wish and facilitate whole life.

Husband' expectation : wife, who is always and only devoted to husband by all means.

Parent's expectation : children, who serve parents and follow mandates of parents whole life.

Human can love only those people who can fulfill his expectations, but expectations are born to break only. Because expectations are by product of thought process of mind. No one can assume expectations of other person. Though someone would like to  fulfill all expectations of someone he cannot do that, and that becomes the root of conflict. And finally all relations are conversed to conflicts.

If human beings should not put the expectations as root of relationships, and just make the relationships as root, then all relations will be poured with contentment.

I remember the first time I saw you You'd never been more lost

I remember the first time I saw you You'd never been more lost
I never thought much about that day
But I know our paths were meant to cross because

All of my secrets you know 
And all of my dreams you are in 
I think that I have found the one That I can get lost in

And it's you yeah it's you 
I think I have finally found you 
And it's you yeah it's you
And I want to keep you forever by my side

I'm holding to summers well spent These feelings I have I could not prevent
We lost our hearts along the way But nothing compared to these plans we've made.

Holding hands and dreaming such plans you're the safest place for me 
The world may not know us but trust me we'll show them that fairy tales can come to be
And I can't stop thinking about 
And down the road I know somehow
The things we are going to see
Are beyond words and beyond speech
These memories I plan to keep
As they play out so beautifully

લો ખરીદો, જાત મારી આપવી છે,
આપને તકદીર મારી આપવી છે.

હર કસોટીમાં ખબર છે ખેર’ખાં છો,
યાતના એકાદ મારી આપવી છે.

જાત સેવા સાદગીમાં ખર્ચ કરવા,
જીંદગી થોડીક મારી આપવી છે.

આવ મારી જાત સોપું, સાચવી લે,
પ્રેમથી સોગાત મારી આપવી છે.

પાનખરમાં વૃક્ષ બળતું સૂર્ય તાપે,
પાંદડાને છાંય મારી આપવી છે.
