How much I wish….

How much I wish….
I had known this before…

When I was 1; I wanted to run.
When I was 6; I wanted to be big.
When I was 16;I hated being a teen.
When I was 22; I was full of enthu.
When I was 30; I was thirsty.
When I was 50; I wanted to be 20.
When I was 70; I wanted everything all over again.

Now I am 80 and realized;
Life is Now,
It is now what we have or who we are…

How much I wish….
I had known this before…

As a kid, I was scared of making mistakes.
As a kid, I was scared of the unseen.
As a kid, I was scared of being laughed at.

Scared at being ridiculed;
Scared of Losing….

Now I am eighty and I know;

It doesn’t matter
It doesn’t matter

No one bothers to laugh at you.
Even if they do it is not your business
The only thing that matters to you is:

Did you try
Did you work hard
Did you do your bit honestly.

How much I wish….
I had known this before…

How much I wish….
I had known this before…

I can feel......

I can feel the wind blow,
full of pollution, full of hate,
full of jealousy, full of guilt.

Why do i feel the wind blow?

because it blows.

Why is the wind contaminated:

A reason is the vehicles, factories and all machinery excretes;

B reason is the black smoke that comes out of our hearts....
out of our human hearts.

hate, jealousy, guilt are all free products of our mind, our heart...

This makes the wind heavier.

Can this contamination be controlled,
Yes, it can be...
We may not be able to control machinery pollution,

but why not we think positive thoughts;
like love, sharing, forgiveness.

this will make our environment cooler and lighter.

Like how Baaji lives;
she is like all of us;

But the wind around her is lighter and cooler.
because of her positivity.

I wish her all the goodness and may her positivity remain intact

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAAJI"

All your problems..

All your problems…
Are because of you.
Patience, forgiveness, sympathy
You do not have…

Why you forget
You are a simple man
Not some emperor
Who will have his own
On whatever he wishes…

All your problems..
Are because of you.

The world you live in
Is very complex
The way you feel about you
Is felt by others about them

Realize this and understand….
Everyone thinks
He is justified, He is the best
So do you…


All your problems..
Are because of you.

What perfection you look for in others,
When you have not been able to achieve,
The so called perfection…

What I, I and I .
When your god takes a human form
He loses perfection.

So realize, perfection is a myth…

But hard work and sincerity is not,
Be compassionate with others…

As since your childhood you have known,
You get what you give. ..

So, work towards the myth
And know that…..
All your problems..
Are because of you.

The Rajput Warrior

The Rajput Warrior

I have heard of his story from my mother.....
His life is a war..
He is born in today's world..
The war is not against blood and flesh enemies..
but against the circumstances..

His weapons are
no swords or daggers..
but his hard work and wisdom..
No matter how much worse
the situation is,
but he fights it till the end.
And wins most of the times..

One war ends another starts,
A hero does not crib but he fights...
He is still fighting...
with many loses and many wins ,
and with his positivity intact.

Today is his birthday...
and I wish the Rajput warrior
A great and stable life ahead....

Sharing please.....

When we were small kids.... We used to hear we must share with others whatever we have. It was like 'son, don't be so selfish' Even though it was not such a easy task but we learned to share all the good things we had on us.

I wonder why it is said we should not share things that are not so good....

Why????????

Now i am talking here about our problems or the condition we have in our lives....

We are told share the happiness while try to keep sad things to yourself.

I don't think it is done just because we fear that we will be ridiculed by others...

why can't we take a chance try to share our sadness....

As, it is rightly said in a hindi proverb: Sadness decreases with sharing while happiness increases


The reason i wrote this post today is that one of my dear friend had an accident and he is living far-off from his family. He had a bike accident recently and had to be on (almost) bed rest for three weeks.... The thing is i came to know about it today and when i recalled i remembered i had called my friend on 1st or 2nd of December considering a visit to his place for a week but he seemed to be busy... so i dropped the plan...

Now, i come to know that he had a accident and had to cope with this problem alone...
Had he informed me about this incident. It would have been easy for him... i could be a moral as well a real support for him.... I really felt sorry that i could be of no help.

But one thing i realized from this incident was that- whatever the situation be, We need to share it with our family and close friends because it is a necessary thing to do....

So, dear friends Sharing please :-)

PS. Merry Christmas to you. :-)

"I am going back "

I am going back..
Not forever..
I need to find something.

something that gave me energy to work countless hours..
something that gave my efforts an edge..
something that was responsible for my efforts being pure..
something that traveled with me a thousand miles.

Now i have lost it somewhere,
I want my dreams back.

I tried to look for it here,
but couldn't find it,
where has it gone,

I think time has done the damage.

I am certain, not to find it among people with lost dreams..

It's chaotic.......


I need to go back..
and feel the simplicity,
With faces full of dreams.


I am not the same anymore..
I am behaving normal these days..
I need to dope on my dream..
I don't want to be logical and calculated...

With my dreams i am insane..
I want that insanity back.
