Unforgotten

A Lament Unforgotten is a compelling song by Sanjeev Niles . In this song, Sanjeev and Pabalu Wijegoonawardane   have fused music from the western and eastern worlds to highlight the intensified pain of the irreplaceable loss of a loved one, which can shatter a person’s inner core.  If you are finding it hard to find meaning in your life, and you are trying to paint a smile to the outside world while you are dying inside, PLEASE reach out to someone and get HELP . Don't let your life get caught to the snares of depression . The following is my message to everyone who is finding it hard to gather the broken pieces in your life and be whole again.  Unforgotten                                  When life robs you                                         and tears your soul apart,                                  Let your tears flow                                        but stay strong                                  Fight...                                      

Put Yourself in Their Shoes

Are you sad? Are they sad? How are they handling it? Did you cry when they left? Will you cry when they go? These words are like clichés that we hear now and then when someone dies, gets married and leaves home, goes overseas for higher studies, or even leaves home to start a fresh on greener pastures. How often do we stop to ponder on the words that we utter; especially, in sensitive situations? It is one thing to make chit chat, but what point is conversation without substance. Do we ever stop and put ourselves in their shoes before words leave our mouths?   I hope we all make a conscious effort to THINK BEFORE SPEAKING without intentionally or unintentionally adding salt to other people’s wounds.
