September's here, bringing with it thirty days of patient fasting. My hypoglycemic brain is not up for thinking right now, so here are a couple of tags...
Hemanth had tagged me with TDS (The Desktop Story) Tag.
Hemanth had tagged me with TDS (The Desktop Story) Tag.
So this is what my desktop looks like, and has looked like for many months now. I don't remember where I found this pic, but there is something about it I have always liked. No matter what I change it to, I keep reverting back to these three balloons. To me, they signify a lot of nice things - happiness, sunshine, family, peace, serenity, luck, to name a few. I guess the sunny trio is here to stay!************
Anoop tagged me to list down five of my Favorite Quotes. Can you guess who quoted these? Here's a hint; one is by a great poet, three from bestsellers, and one by yours truly :)
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes."
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know."
"Life finds a way, even if it is of stone."
"It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
"...she was leaving the world as a woman who had loved and been loved back. She was leaving it as a friend, a companion, a guardian. A mother. A person of consequence at last."
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know."
"Life finds a way, even if it is of stone."

aap se behtar hai raaste ke pathar
ye raah bhatkon ko manzil tak to pohoncha hi dete hai...
obviously not applicable to you...but just something that instantly came to mind...

Yaar I used to have the awards on my sidebar before,but the page became so difficult to load,even more than it is now!So made a separate blog for the awards.
It will always remain there na buddy :)
Awww thanks sweetie!Hugs :)
"Life finds a way, even if it is of stone."
Very true.
hi, Sammeera!
Great!!!
Congratulations.
Yes Priya :)
Thanks for the visit David.It's "Sameera" :)
Your desktop speak so much of you. Three balloons signify love, joy and courage- traits that you have so much. Their colors signifies your philosophies in life. Light orange for the sunshine that you exude so much in your character and writings and yellow for wisdom and intelligence that characterizes you so much. Your quotations are all about love, because you are such a loving person capable of giving and receiving unconditional love. What a relief that I was not included in your first 5 visitors. He, he, he, *lol* You know I don't relish tags and memes. They scare the hell out of me. He, he, he, *lol* Thanks for the lovely post. God bless you always my dear friend. May you achieve all your wonderful dreams in life.
well, I am going to tone down my blogging too this month. hehehehe anyway, the weather has been great with lots of rain, so, it's not too tiring to fast. Ramadhan Mubarak to you my dear.and oh, I love the quote on love. very true.
btw come and collect ur awards Sameera :)
Keshi.
Thank you so much for that beautiful explanation of the significance of these three balloons Mel.Till yesterday I did not have any clue about it,just that I was always drawn to them.
Glad you liked the quotes.Lol,indeed you escaped!I know you do not like doing tags.
Take good care my dear friend.God Bless You and your loved ones always.
Thanks Keshi dear!That was so sweet of you :)
The summer here is a little less harsh now Farah,but then fasting in the confines of AC isn't difficult any day.Lol!
Thanks dear :)
Oh!! So cute!! Cool quotes and chill wallpaper. Tc.
Cheers,
Ravi...
Thanks :)
You too take care.Cheers!
Some good quotes here. My guess is that the first one is yours.
Thank you!No dear,mine is the third one.The first is from The Bible :)
HI sameera,
I couldn't guess even one of the writers of those lovely quotes.
Your desktop looks very simple and neat.
And Ramadan Mubarak to you:)
That's alright!You can find the answers in Hemanth's first comment and also in Anoop's.
Thank you!Ramadan Mubarak to you too :)
OMG, I've fallen in love with the template...black being my fav n you've done such a brilliant job....wow....

I am in love with it too!Of all the templates I have made,this one is so me ;)

Thanks buddy!You too dear :)
A nice and neat desktop.
Ramadan Kareem Sameera..
hey sameera.. happened to pass by ur blog... nice blog skin there gal...
Thatz such a neat desktop..how do u manage to keep it so clean.lol
Thanks Celine dear :)
Thanks Krystyna dear!Glad you liked the pic,the quotes and the template.Indeed,when there is inspiration,we can create magic!
I knew you for one would surely know the source of the first quote :)
Thanks Mez!It's a habit :P
Thanks Thanamoi!
I love the last quote! it is so inspiring.
i also like your wallpaper, it looks so calm..yet so lively!
Thanks girl!I like it for that very reason :)
wowo so many things to read
i luv dis month u kno..
gud gud
Is it your birthday month? :P
That last quote is especially powerful.
Hope September goes well – best of luck with the fasting, Sami.
Yes it is,and the fact that these were Mariam's last thoughts make it all the more stunning.
Thank you so much dear :)
I love these quotes. They are truly wonderful. All of them.
I thought that first one was very familiar to a verse from First Corinthians in the Bible, but it's worded just a teeny bit differently.
Same idea.
Would you consider doing a post about Ramadan, please? I know zip about it. Why are you fasting? Do you fast the whole month? That sounds like a longer time than our bodies could manage... Do you work and carry on a normal routine?
Details, please.

Yes,it is from that very part of The Bible.I came across it in a novel though - A Walk To Remember.
Hmmm will think about it dear.I am afraid I am not that religious,still will do it for you :)
I knew three of them! And loved them all. Words really can lift us up.
Indeed Sarah :)
Ya Swathi,you got both the sources right!
Yup they are and yup I am,as I already told you :P
