FRIENDS

Once upon a time there were two people “F” and “L”.. staying in two different corners of the city.. as it was destined, they met each other one day.. on spending some talkative hours both of them found that there were some things common in them and somewhere they shared a similar thinking.. both of them left an unforgettable mark on each others mind and on departing they felt that this is definitely not the first and the last conversation.. they got in touch again and started spending uncountable hours chatting, laughing, crying, eating, pampering, pulling legs, singing songs, sharing dreams, teaching, discussing life, enjoying and finally loving.. they cared for each other.. whenever any one was sad, the other consoled.. whenever any one was happy, the other tried to double the happiness.. whenever they met, they knew they were made for this.. whenever they were apart, they were surrounded with the feeling of togetherness.. and whenever they were together, their world was complete.. they were most pally with each other.. they were best of friends with no arguments, no annoyance and no anger.. they knew they’ll always be together.. they promised nobody would ever leave..

and one day took the wind out of sails..

“F” left.. “L” stayed..

but why did “F” leave..??

to be contd...

ESCAPING???

One is always crammed with reasons in life. We win and embrace the entire recognition our self but at our failure there are innumerable persons we think are accountable for it. They are our “parents”, “friends”, “colleagues”, “neighbours”, “acquaintances” and if nothing else then “Destiny”. I always agree to when it is said that if it’s not in your destiny you don’t get it. But can we blame the destiny wholly? No, we just can’t. To our failure, there must have been points where we would have gone wrong. There must have been instances which required our 100% but we didn’t give it. There are times when we are striving hard or hardest to achieve our goal. We spend our most precious years to make the dream come true. We ignore our family, friends, loved ones and almost everyone on this earth and we see only THAT thing as a bird’s eye that is to be attacked and achieved. We have sleepless nights and a thronged mind.

And one day we get worn-out of combating for our most wanted dream. We think it’s better to change direction. We don’t feel the ignition in ourselves to stand-up fight for it anymore. And finally we are on a different track. A new beginning altogether or may be the same old path that was left by us. And we always have reasons of retreat from our confronting course. We try to blend in the then existing stage, try to budge our mind from our strongest desire. And we again encounter new and old chapters in our lives which give their judgment on our performances. Still there exists a sense of dissatisfaction of soul. We tell and make understand our heart and mind that “No, what I was fighting for can’t be brought to fruition”.

But years after on some good day we feel why we backed out? Why we didn’t make it? Why did I shelve? We are filled with regret. Finally we realize that we need to strongly fix on, to convert dreams into reality, for our every verdict further arranges a series of episodes for us. We cannot fail, we just cannot be frail either.

We need to Wake up, struggle, achieve and never back out.

LIVING IN FAITH

This is what keeps us going in life when everything seems to be a hard rock. When circumstances are not moving as we yearn. When all seems to be on a standstill. When we know we are on the edge of all the light we know. When we are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown. Faith is the fix that buries Fear. Fear of not achieving, Fear of defeat, Fear of not being acknowledged, Fear of being left behind, Fear of getting the wrong end of the stick, Fear of Fearing!!!

Awaking in Faith and having a lie-down in Faith. Dreaming - that too in Faith that Yes, tomorrow may comes THE DAY. The day which I am living for, the day which has kept me alive for so many years, the day which is not letting me sleeps, the day I pleaded for day and night, the day I cried aloud for, the day that I would embrace, the day that I would cherish, the day I would never want it to go. Faith tells us not to fear for either we’ll have something solid to stand on or we’ll be taught how to fly.

I wish this light of faith revolutionizes the entire negativity and offer boons. The dire delay may end soon. The fantasy may become the reality. The birds may start chirping again. The breeze may start soothing the soul again. The flowers may start blossoming again. The Sun may start shining again. There may be a Dawn or a “Continuous Dawn”..

Read an article some time back, would like to share here, as the questions raised there were the ones those are in everybody’s heart and mind. The difference is, at times they come out and most of the times they are buried inside un raised and unanswered. They are figured out as simple ones but are profound indeed.

1. Whom should one regard as the most important person?
2. What should be deemed to be the most important work or action in life?
3. Which should be taken to be the most opportune moment in life?

Before answering let me interrupt here. I am a “Sai Baba” devotee and trust him blindly. There isn’t any truth except him. Trust me “Baba” is miraculous. I never trust the stars; I trust the one who made them. Iv read some religious books and read about Baba’s magic. Although I agree to all his preaching’s but can’t implement all of them in my life.
Now, why iv mentioned this here, you will learn it later.
Ok, let me answer the questions now.

1. One should treat the person before one as the most important one. It implied that the person confronting you deserves to be treated properly and with due regard so that S/he returns fairly satisfied after meeting you.
2. The most important work or undertaking is the one that you have in hand right now. Put your heart, mind and soul into finishing the task.

3. On coming to the question as to which is the most important time, the present moment should be treated as the most opportune one. It is the meeting point of 2 eternities- the vast past that is gone and the unknown future.

All the answers seemed to be so simple as if driving on a road as smooth as butter but it is hard to implement.

Somebody asked a last question that if success was the most important thing in life? And I was as pleased as I can with the answer. It goes like, “Success is indeed a man’s chief business in life, but remember that Achievement is above Success and Reputation above Celebrity Status”.

New Year is just a day away, lets all make it a point that we keep in mind the words to the last question (as I myself cannot go completely by the answers to the first 3 questions :-) ) and lead our lives accordingly.

Another Day, another Month, another Year, another Smile, another Tear, another Winter, A Summer too, But there will never be Another You. Be Honest, Be Wise..

WISH YOUR NEW YEAR COUNTDOWN BE FILLED WITH TONS OF LOVE, HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS.
GOD BLESS US ALL.

BELIEVE YOU COULD TOUCH THE SKY

Happiness doesn’t need any reason or occasion. It is there inside you and you get it when you feel it. Neither there is anyone for the cause of your distress nor for your joy. Its only one person for the charge of your joy, of your bliss and that’s “YOU”. Your parents cannot create happiness in your lives, your spouse cannot, your children cannot, they can only “SHARE” your happiness and the same way your sorrows too. There is a black board or say “blank board” in front of you, just with your name written. You have to write your own story. You are the architect of your own destiny. You are the creator and you are the destroyer. Feel contented. Love yourself. Love everything you can. Love everyone you can. And you will get it back. You live, you study, you earn, you marry, you become parent, (all to be happy), you give and then you expect something in return and when you don’t get it, something in your soul cries. Don’t expect, just believe that when you are giving, releasing energy in high spirits while you are happy in your heart; you are on the path of receiving automatically which again brings you happiness. So where did you started from? You started from being happy yourself. Feel happy about yourself and people will be happy because of you. 

LOVE YOURSELF AND TRUST YOURSELF.. AND SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT..

Be Blissful, Be Wise.       

"Helplessness brings Serenity"
It is painful to see the one you love in despair.. it is painful to see that the one you adore is fighting for something he doesn’t wants you to be a part of.. it hurts to feel helpless.. it hurts to feel powerless to affect the cause.. the hardest feelings is to feel helpless.. it makes heart cry like an infant.. the feeling prick every inch of soul and kills.. it breaks from inside.. the strength seems to be washing away.. it brings anger, irritation, distrust, isolation.. then it forces you to ask

Why am I unable to do anything?
Why am I not a part of it?
Why can’t I change everything for his good?
Why can’t I protect him from uncontrollable control?

Did he lost trust in me?
Why the most deserving is in agony?
Why is the GOD’s favourite child put to the callous testing?

But you are helpless to answer the self asked questions because if you would had the answers the questions wouldn't had been raised inside.. Life is a court and you are put on trial every day by unidentified foe or identified ally.. Very less times in life you feel helpless to help others because very less times you love and are loved and it makes you go weak in knees to bring in a change.. a change of happiness..

Try and love the feeling of helplessness.. embrace it once and you’ll realize that it is not as bad as you thought.. And thus this helplessness brings in a change.. it releases lots of energy which brings patience, serenity, tranquility, self control and power to face and manage any situation in life.. it makes you more strong to bear the brunt of problems.. it erases the guilt which you carry for being helpless.. and you think of ways to wipe out the sorrows from life.. you become extremely ignited to burn away the grief and heartache.. you find successful ways to alter the situation.. you start feeling a part by making a difference.. you are able to protect.. you are able to bring the GOD’s favourite child out of the mess.. and you realize that you are no longer helpless to control, to manage.. the more you practice embracing helplessness rather than crying over it, the less you will be victimised and inculcate in yourself a power to love and give..

Bad time is like dawn and dusk, it comes and goes.. what is left behind is faith, belief, understanding, patience, hope and Love.. its makes you a better person with serenity..

And you win back everything you thought you lost as “When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Gets Going”

Reality Show a Threat??

Now isn’t it outlandish that the politicians of our country are frittering time on proving “Sach ka Saamna”- a reality show as a threat to Indian culture. Are the most delicate and significant problems of our country like poverty, unemployment, uneducation, corruption, terrorism dead?? No, they still exist and will keep on existing till they’ll realize that these all require immediate actions rather than devil's advocating on a reality show. After all it is a show. The contestants are not hesitant of coming to the show and revealing their inner most secrets and truth to their families or audience then how does it makes a difference to the politicians?? Why are they afraid of hearing the reality? Or do they fear of being called to the show someday and reveal their pasts? or they fear of disclosing their deeds which they had concealed to be under the cloud forever? Will it bring a blot to their character if they are called upon??

“Gay Sex” is decriminalized. Is it not a matter of shame when they talk openly about it? Do our politicians find it ethical and cultured? Is it not hurting our elder generation or spoiling our present generation? Yes it is!! But they’ll defend it.. Why?? Because it is “MATTER OF CONVENIENCE” for our politicians. When something puts their dignity on stake, things become unethical lest everything is ethical and cultured. A show should be taken just as a show. The Delhi High Court on Wednesday said “moral policing” was not its job and advised those offended by the TV show ‘Sach Ka Saamna’ to switch off their TV sets if it offends their sensibilities. Now there couldn’t be any better solution for our dear politicians :-)
