Tej Kohli brings another beautiful poem that depicts the beautiful bond between a baby and its parents. This poem was written by Paul Hoekman after his second daughter was born.

Snowflake
by Paul Hoekman
Tumbled from a cloud
rolled over and over
and out of its nest,
floats to the earth,
in so much dark yet
illuminous.

Landed in a tree,
top of a hill,
in colorful dreams
of soaring,
slept into the morning,
until something broke the chill.

Snowflake, special
different from all the rest,
and when you love what your doing
that's when you'll do your best,
with God's help we can pass any test.

With just enough light to see
it listens to a distant sound,
and caught a glimpse of the ocean
before the sun helped it to the ground.

Now a drop, it stumbled
into a swift moving stream
like a toboggan, flume, roller coaster,
such an ultimate adventure,
one wild and crazy screaming stream.

Snowflake, special different
from all of the rest
and when you love what you're doing
that's when you'll do your best,
then let God take care of the rest.

It slowly flows into a river,
wide ,slow, bold and free,
heard so much about the ocean,
learned so much, met so many,
there's so much love in the sea.

Tej Kohli on his Family

, , , ...

Tej Kohli values his family above everything. Below is an account of what Tej kohli feels for his family, in his own words:

"I consider myself a very lucky person. I have been born in a wonderful family with quite good set of talents. Those two factors - the family in which one was born and the talents that one was given at the time of his/her birth - are probably the two most important factors determining person's life road and it's success. And both of these factors are outside one's control. I consider myself lucky because both of these factors have been given to me by God through my parents. I've been raised in a family which enforces highest moral standards and currently I live in a country that offers the greatest opportunities. I'm truly lucky and I feel that I can achieve a lot in my life. I strongly believe, however, that those of us who are fortunate in life (and I don't necessarily mean financially) should help those that are not as lucky as we are."

How Important Is Family Today?

Answers Tej Kohli...

Family can mean different things to different people. But my question is, how important is family today?
Perhaps more important than ever when it comes to raising children. Social instability roots deeply in early family life I think, although not everyone with an unhappy childhood will end up a convict. We all know that children idolize their parents. Thus as parents we are supposed to teach children right and wrong and in ideal world a child would have both counterparts to look up to, mother and father.
I think too much emphasis is placed on marriage though. A couple in a long term relationship with kids is just as much a family as a married couple, in my opinion.
Family life is important for a healthy development, security and stability, however, how likely is it in our modern society to have that perfect family unit with both parents being able to raise the kids?

The Giving tree - Tej Kohli talks about the benevolence of family

, , , ...

Tej Kohli tells a beautiful story, almost all of us can relate to.

Once upon a time there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under its shade. He loved the tree and the tree too loved to play with him. Time went by. The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree everyday. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy. "I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore." The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them." "Sorry, but I don't have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money." The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad. One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with me" the tree said. "I don't have time to play. I have to work for family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?" "Sorry, but I don't have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house." So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad. One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!" the tree said. The boy said, "I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?" "Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy." So the boy cut the tree truck to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you." the tree said. "I don't have teeth to bite" the boy replied. "No more trunk for you to climb on" "I am too old for that now" the boy said. "I really can't give you anything. The only thing left is my dying roots." the tree said with tears. "I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years." the boy replied. "Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, come sit down with me and rest." The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.

Epilogue:
This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parent. When we are young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad. When we grow up, we leave them alone and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think the boy is cruel to the tree, but this is just a story. In reality, that's how all of us are treating our parents.

ONE MAN'S SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO A DOG

, , , ...

Tej Kohli adores pets. He lost two of his own dogs to cancer. Those who have pets understand that they are like a family. Tej Kohli found this heart touching poem on net. A tribute by a man to his dog, who gave him unconditional love.

The one absolutely unselfish friend that
a man can have in this selfish world,
the one that never deserts him,
the one that never proves ungrateful
or treacherous, is his dog.

A man's dog stands by him in prosperity
and in poverty,
in health and in sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground where
the wintery winds blow,
and the snow drives fiercely,
if only he may be near his master's
side. He will kiss the hand that has no
food to offer, he will lick the sores
and wounds that come in encounter with
the roughness of the world. He guards
the sleep of his Pauper master as if he
were a prince.

When all other friends desert,
he remains.
When riches take wings and reputation
falls to pieces, he is as constant in
his love as the sun in it's journey
through the heavens.
If misfortune drives the master forth
an outcast in the world, friendless
and homeless, the faithful dog asks
no higher privilege than that of
accompanying him to guard against
danger, to fight against his enemies.

And when the last scene of all comes,
and death takes the master in it's
embrace, and his body is laid away in
the cold ground, no matter if all other
friends pursue their way, there by the
graveside will the noble dog be found,
his head between his paws, his eyes sad,
but open in alert watchfulness,
faithful and true, even in death.


-From a speech given by
Former Senator George Graham Vest
of Missouri. Delivered in 1870 when he
was acting as a lawyer in a suit against
a man who had killed the dog of his
client. -- He won the case.
