Why and how can we sing when we are sad?

I was driving today morning and wondered for a while...
Are the sad songs really meant for singing?....can we sing when we are sad?
When i am sad...i cant think of singing...yes i can cry...Hence i wondered if the sad songs are meant for singing or they are for crying!
But i must say those who sing a sad song...or compose or write down the lyrics are to be given a hats off...it is indeed a tough task....

Just feel these words....:

"Beete lamhe hamein jab bhi yaad aate hain...dil se saari gamon ko bhula jaate hain".....

one more...

"kuchh is tarah teri palkein meri palkon se mila de
Aansu tere saare meri palakon pe saja de...
Kuchh is tarah teri palkein meri palkon se mila de ....."

How much ever you try......

How much ever you try...but...

some memories will remain afresh.....and refuse to leave you!

Back to work...holidays over..

Finally the holidays are over...and i m back in office...
The mood is gloomy as home reminds me...
Why do Moms cry?....
I somehow managed to hide the tears...as i did not want to shed them in front of her...
Have become bit strong:) at least in controlling my tears...

Waiting to get the letter of intent....anxiety running too..

Its been a long long wait to bag this account....especially after more than 6 rounds of meetings with a sine wave every time...
With almost a closure meeting on cards every time i met them...and then due to some or the other reason things would turn and take twist:)

But finally the day has come...when i would perhaps go back with a smile and something to cheer about.

m excited too as this would be a second closure with lead coming from my blogging:)

It was indeed a pleasant surprise last evening..when the Head HR called me..i was tensed when he said its over....and then said" CONGRATULATIONS"......the word sounds so sweet isn't it...
I was really happy....after a long must say...
More pleasant was to hear some appreciation words from the Head HR...." mentioning- We have decided to go ahead with you for the mere fact that we liked your sincerity and approach"...

keeping fingers crossed:)

Is there a difference between an emoticon and a smiley?

Yes. A smiley is an arrangement of keyboard characters used to make facial expressions and gestures that are intended to convey emotion online (in e-mails, forums and chat rooms). In other words, it is a symbolic picture made from keyboard characters. These computer keyboard characters use punctuation marks and special characters arranged to suggest the expression on a human face. Some of these emotional expression that are conveyed during communication can be; anger, a smile, shock, sadness, humor, a grin, a laugh, sarcasm and so on. They are usually viewed sideways. Some frequently used examples include:

:-) Smiling
: )

;-) Ironic smile

:-( Not amused; a frown

: > a wicked grin

>:( Very angry

:O Yelling

:D Laughing

Emoticon on the other hand, is a smiley using graphical image rather than keyboard characters to express emotion. This means that keyboard characters used to show facial expressions and gestures in online communication is replaced with small corresponding images. These graphical expression are called emoticons. Emoticons (emotional icons) originated with text representations and is therefore a modern variant of the smiley.
There are dictionaries that define both as the same in terms of both being keyboard characters which is not accurate. They fail to address that one is graphical (emotional icons) and the other (smiley) is text and special character based. They both convey an emotion with a corresponding facial expressions and gestures. However, emoticon are much better since they are using a graphical face that can be related to that of a human expression. This makes it quite easy to be interpreted by anyone receiving it in any text message unlike that of a smiley.

Emoticons and smiley are both used in online communication to communicate feelings (pleasure, approval, sadness, anger, humor etc.) and are the best way to convey emotion in a message without any misinterpretation that can sometimes happen in a written message. They add color and character to daily online conversations. They however should not be overused in your digital communication (emails, instant messaging, forums and chat rooms).

By the way..a smiley was first born on 19th September....thts when my B'day falls:)

ST. ROACH
by Muriel Rukeyser ,from The Gates, McGraw-Hill, 1976

For that I never knew you, I only learned to dread you,
for that I never touched you, they told me you are filth,
they showed me by every action to despise your kind;
for that I saw my people making war on you,
I could not tell you apart, one from another,
for that in childhood I lived in places clear of you,
for that all the people I knew met you by
crushing you, stamping you to death, they poured boiling
water on you, they flushed you down,
for that I could not tell one from another
only that you were dark, fast on your feet, and slender.
Not like me.
For that I did not know your poems
And that I do not know any of your sayings
And that I cannot speak or read your language
And that I do not sing your songs
And that I do not teach our children
to eat your food
or know your poems
or sing your songs
But that we say you are filthing our food
But that we know you not at all.
Yesterday I looked at one of you for the first time.
You were lighter than the others in color, that was
neither good nor bad.
I was really looking for the first time.
You seemed troubled and witty.
Today I touched one of you for the first time.
You were startled, you ran, you fled away
Fast as a dancer, light, strange and lovely to the touch.
I reach, I touch, I begin to know you.....
