yeh zindagi hai ek jua(n)
yahan jeet bhi, aur haar bhi,

tu khelta jaa, tu khelta jaa, bazzio pe baaziyan.

Life is a gift. An opportunity. What we make of it is up to us! :)

Harsha said...

Life is to live and enjoy. To spread happiness and to kick some a$$. Its a journey, a long one, companions come and go, but you need to keep moving. You need to identify a destination and keep walking towards it. There are obstacles that need to be overcome. In the end, all that will matter is whether you have enjoyed your journey. :)

life is like munnabhai mbbs movie; lots of comedy, lots of lessions, importance of respecting parents, making others laugh, best friends, true love :) and lots of laughter!!

"the girl who ate everything and didnt even burp" said...

oops, i meant "lessons"

Hmm, you just have to face it head on. Good things happen, bad things happen and you can't really control it. Only a fool would think he had control over his life! That's my take, what say you??:)

Just Jane said...

#Anonymous,
Nice lyrics! Which song is it? And who said I was disabling anony comments just yet? Still, wouldn't you prefer we refer to you by name rather than as a mouse? :D

#Gemini,
You're so right! :D

#Harsha,
Beautifully put, thanks mate, really liked what you wrote :D

#SnS,
All those AND more! And about your typo, unfortunately for some, life includes lesions as well x-(

#Akka,
//Hmm, you just have to face it head on//
Absolutely! No other way and no two ways about it either! :D

I like being referred to as 'mouse'.and I dont think mice will have any objections either! So lets just stick to this nomenclature.

And I know you arent gonna ban 'mouses' just yet, but it can be difficult tolerating me!

:D

Arrowhead said...

It is beauteous thing! Harsha's comment was interesting but I don't understand how kicking a donkey defines life. Have to think about this one. There has to be a deeper meaning to kicking a donkey. Wow! This is why life is a beauteous thing, no?

Neihal said...

"So what is it all about? "

I dont know. I cant analyse the past, I cant see the future ,and I dont understand the present. So life is very much a mystery to me.But its ok. I am still having loads of fun :)

Bindu said...

There are two major events in life. Birth and death. Everything else is trying to justify one and prevent the other

Sayesha said...

Life is a blank canvas. It becomes what you make out of it. And perhaps someone up there knows what you're gonna paint on it, but it doesn't matter cos you dunno. :)

Anonymous said...

Life??? Life is exactly how we see it. Like Sash said, its a blank canvas and its upon you to make it colorful or let it stay blank!

Life is an ice-cream,
Enjoy it before it melts :)

I love this song which follows, life ke saare meanings is mein aa jaate hai. The first part is happy happy one & then a little sad one but I really like it :)

Zindagi pyar ka geet hai,
Ise har dil ko gaana padega..
Zindagi gum ka saagar bhi hai,
Hans ke us paar jaana padega.

Jiska jitna ho aanchal yahan par,
Usko saugaat utni milegi,
Phool jeevan mein gar na khile toh,
Kaanto se bhi nibhana padega.

Hai agar door manzil to kya,
Raasta bhi hai mushkil to kya,
Raat taaro bhari na mile toh,
Dil ka deepak jalana padega.

Zindagi ik paheli bhi hai,
Sukh dukh ki saheli bhi hai,
Zindagi ik vachan bhi to hai,
Jise sabko nibhana padega.

Zindagi ek ehsaas hai,
Toote dil ki koi aas hai,
Zindagi ek banvaas hai,
Kaat kar sabko jaana padega.

Zindagi pyar ka geet hai,
Ise har dil ko gaana padega..
Zindagi gum ka saagar bhi hai,
Hans ke us paar jaana padega.

Zindagi bewafaa hai toh kya,
Apne roothe hai humse toh kya,
Haath mein haath na ho toh kya,
Saath phir bhi nibhana padega.

Zindagi ek muskaan hai,
Dard ki koi pehchaan hai,
Zindagi ek mehmaan hai,
Chod sansaar jaana padega!

Zindagi pyar ka geet hai,
Ise har dil ko gaana padega..
Zindagi gum ka saagar bhi hai,
Hans ke us paar jaana padega.

Bohoot bada comment ho gaya :P
I say.. err, correction.. I ALSO say (:P), don't try to analyse life.. Take it as it comes with a smile :)

Take care,
Aarti

all my life I have been showing the finger at fate... now it looks like I am at the receiving end.

I always thought it was about showing the finger to your worst nightmare!

#Anonymouse,
Mouses are not my favorite thing in the world right now, and will not be either! So do give yourself a name, any name, sometime soon before my patience runs thin :D

#Arrowhead,
You, Harsha and Mr.Mouse seem to be bonding so beauteously! Wah wah! Do form a club or something, yes? :D

#Neihal,
Good to hear you're enjoying life to the hilt :D

#Bindu,
Guess that's one way of looking at life. But what about the vast timespan in between those two events you mentioned?? Or do you mean since we spend ALL our time doing what you said we do, we are too exhausted to do anything else in between? :P

#Sash,
Nice :-) Lends new meaning to the term 'leading a "colorful" life! :D

#Aarti,
You owe me an icecream today! :D Thanks for sharing your fave song!

#Pratap,
There is a greeting card with these words...

Life is passing me by and making an obscene gesture as it goes!!

:D

#Virdi,
Tu aur sochna??! Chadd yaar...teri bas ki baat nahin hai ;) :P

Preethi said...

Isko define nahi kar sakte hain yaar.. Its just life.. and u gotta live it as though there is no tommorrow...
Aur bhi hain mere aise funde jo main tujhe bataungi aram se.. :)

Just Jane said...

#SG,
Welcome back! :D Tere mahaan funde sunne ke liye wait kar rahi hoon main ;)

Life is what happens to you while you're working for your future.

Life is pain, princess. . . anyone who says differently is selling something.

Life on the planet is born of woman.
Life is just a chance to grow a soul.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Just Jane said...

#Kautilya,
Phew....!

About this -- "Life is pain, princess. . . anyone who says differently is selling something" -- All I'll say is Trust The Process.

Oye Jane!!!

If you liked it, you should be the one to owe me an ice-cream :P

Chocolate cornetto please :P

Take care,

Just Jane said...

#TGFI,
That was beautiful. Thank you very much for that profound insight.

#Trundling Grunt,
What an interesting nickname! And yeah, what you said.

#Aarti,
Sorry, I never share my chocolate cornetto with anyone :P
