Its gonna be bigger, if you are ready!!

This is an extension to my previous piece, take it or not its good, so read that first.

We talked about the moment between achieving an goals and next huddle i.e. next opportunity. Its a moment worth observing and understanding because there is a whole process hidden in just a moment. It takes only a moment to evolve into a better being. We talked on, how you handle success  prepares you mentally for the next huddle, but a keen observation will tell you, that's not the only thing it does, it also designs the next huddle. Success designing a huddle sound very absurd at first but that stands true. huddle is always designed by the result of your goals and to suit your skill and capabilities. As you grow with every success, huddles that come across you are also bigger and better ones. Just like in a video game, when you clear one level, you unlock the next level which is bigger and better.
It is said, you are given the key to every door on your path, you just need to have faith. Every result gives you a key,that is either of the next level or to help you grow in same level. Similar to your academic results, either you get promoted to next grade or are asked to repeat again. When you get the result, the key is always enclosed with it. The result designs the next huddle and give you the key, which probably you never realise and that is where faith comes into action. Just because you can't see the key, doesn't mean it does not exist. Never doubt its existence, it is always there, all you need is to take, is the leap of faith. Key might not appear, but it will silently unlock the door, for sure!!

Take it or not, its good!!!!


Life at times is like climbing up the ladder, after every victory, another huddle awaits you and which ultimately leads you to the next victory. Its really interesting to look back after achieving some goals but that's what the whole world does. We often ignore or don't pay much attention to the time between achieving an goal and the next huddle. But this is an crucial moment which decides how strong you have grown and how strong you are to face the next challenge. The moment which makes or breaks the future, the moment of attributing your success. Either you stand up and take the credit or you simply stay humble and give it to others. Both got pros and cons,
Claiming credit would increase your self confidence and makes you mentally stronger to face bigger challenges where as giving away the credit liberate you, you don't tie up yourself to any thing and just move ahead fresh and innocent. You retain your creativity and child-like ness.
Taking up all the credit, leads you to over confidence but giving it up would lead you to lower self confidence. When you always give away the credit, mentally you accept that all this is because of people around you, not because of you. Now when you face the next huddle, you look around for the same team, same people and if they don't appear, it worries you. A self confident person knows he can pull any situation in his favour, where as a person with low confidence depends on others to do the same. Both are important for a person but even more important, is to strike a balance between two.
A men when tastes success, lavitates, but a wise men himself stays rooted and lavitates his views, his thought process. He knows a fact, that if after every success, he is where he was, what good is that success to him.
The moment that lavitate your views, you put extract the maximum out of your success.

yaado ka tarazu


 Yaado ke tarazu pe tumhe aab kya tolu
inn rukhe purane lafzo se tumhe aab kya bolu
Jab mere Sabdo ko tumne diya hai thukra,
Iss sanate se tumhe aab kya bolu

Nigaho se tumhe aab kya dekhu
Hatho se tumhe aab kya chulu
Ek aarzoo toh dil mein barso se hai
Ek pal mein inn yaado ko aab kaise pirolu

Iss becheni bhare dil mein kai siskiya sunai deti hai
Dil ke koono mein nuum tanhaiya dikhai deti hai
Thak haar kar jab nikal padhta hu akela
chalta hu mein per teri parchaiya dekhai deti hai

Kabhi socha na tha, kuch aisa hoga
Iss dil ka manzar bhi kuch aisa hoga Rahoon mein hi kho bath te iss toh acha hota
Beech bawander Doobti hui kashti sa haal toh nah hota

Beete pal mein aatak sa gaya hu,
Inn andhere rasto kahi bhatak sa gaya hu
Ek roshni ki talash toh abhi bhi jaari hai
Manzil ka pata nahi, per teri aas mein kurban ki ye rahe saari hai

Iss panchi ko mein kaise roku
har pal aab iss kaise tooku
Na jaane meri kaun ho tum
Kya tamamnnao ki sirf ek udaan ho tum

Mana Waqt haar ghaw bhar deta hai
Hulchal bhare dil ko sukoon deta hai
Per shayad nahi janta woh ki
kaun hu mein
Kaun ho tum
Kisi hai ye dooriyan
Kaisa hai ye deewanapan
Aur kaisa hai ye, yaadu ka tarazo

My Heart Knows!!!!


You make life look like a play
You are the moment in which i stay
You are the solace in which i rest
My heart knows, you are the best

Every moment spent thinking about you is timeless
Every word spent describing you is priceless
My heart knows, World without you is lifeless

You defined what is goodness
You showed me what is greatness
With you I feel the one-ness
My heart knows, it beats for you his highness

Flowers blossom around you,
Star shine around you
Clouds glide when you graze
Worries slide away when you embrace

You light up the path in darkness.
You hold me close in the chaos
Your supreme love left me speechless.
My heart knows I am all about you and you are all about me..

Guruji, I belong to you....

1 hour at the railway station


From 3 to 10th standard, in every english exam we came across a question, asking us to write an essay,"An hour at railway station", only reason I could figure out then was, may be examiner was banned from going to the station, leaving him with no other option but to make us write our experience. Every time it turned up, we blindly wrote about waiting for a train which was always late, than some chai wala, shoe polish wala and similar arbit people whom we rarely notice even after going to the station hundreds of times. Some time I went a step ahead and wrote their names too. We wrote about other trains passing by, passengers running across the platform(just to fill lines) and counting number of lines still left to be filled. as the essay would come to an end, we would write in bigger handwriting to cover more and more lines and that was almost similar to how we answered the question every time it appeared. We never really thought why the same question turned up year after year. When other questions of the paper were new and of higher class, why this same question turned up in every standard. Many times we wrote the same lines again, sometimes used same names of chai wala and shoe polish wala too. Never gave any thought as to why this repetition. But if you relax a bit and think about again, Life behave similar to that examiner. Throwing same situation again and again, waiting for us to respond. Hoping someday we would respond differently. Just for moment, we need to sit and think, did we gave the same answer to the same question, if yes, than why blame life for giving same marks again and again.



Life may not give us a opportunity twice, but it surely give a new opportunity everyday. Only thing it expect back is a new response.

"HIS WAYS"



Having convinced myself, I'll celebrate guruji's bday all alone and give "tera main" event a miss, I planned my actions for the day very clearly,but since I wanted to take happified to the event, I had to go to the venue once, I confirmed the timings of event and decided to go hours before it begins, so that I can easily find volunteers for happified and leave silently without getting noticed by many people. I had many weird set of reason, in case someone intervenes. I reached at 4.30 pm at the venue, got the happified direction charts placed. It was around 5 pm, when mamta dee suddenly realised, going ahead in the event without happified flex(getting it printed was taken up by her), might place her into not so good, answerable position later and trying to cover up, Made me and keshav run and find someone who could print flex on the spot or at least get a big size poster(I hated it). Bit irritated on such a behaviour, had no other option but to go and search. We ended up getting nothing, but keshav thoroughly enjoyed having vada pav, kohlapuri roll and pastry. I didn't even realised it was more than an hour since we left terapanth bhavan for the flex. I had to rush, if people would have already arrived, all my plans of using stamps would just go into vain. We quickly reached the venue and I tried my best to delegate some important stuff to people and leave. But when i reached, I found all volunteers tied up with some or the other seva, already 7 pm still searching ways out. Plan which seemed so easy earlier, was now leading to funny situations. I quickly made some analysis and chalked out another plan. Gave happified stamps to chirag and all subscription forms to every counter manager present there. When I was about to leave, I would just get sanket's call every few minutes wanting to talk to pratik(why call on my cell only??), in between neha kothari coming up to me and asking to sell "I am honest" tshirts (I didn't even knew what is the price of a tshirt,what sizes we have, why me??) Finally, when I was done with everything, few mins left for the show, my way clear but mind unclear. I was aware of this situation, I knew I won't be able to take any decision if I stay there for long and that was the reason why i wanted to leave much before the show. I still left and was on the street waiting for a rickshaw, asked a couple of them but none seem interested, every second i wasted, my mind played more tricks. Fight between wanting to attend and leaving had turned into a intense war. I decided, I'll ask 1 last rickshaw wala and if he refuses I'll go back to the show and surrender. I had kept my pass in a paper bag near I am honest table, when the last rickshaw refused I just went to see if the pass is still there and it was. Took my pass and went into the auditorium. First and last thing I remember I saw was guruji's picture on the stage background, it was my fav. Picture. When ever I saw the picture, i felt as if guruji is looking into my eye and injecting his grace. That was it, guruji and me, both laughed and I accepted, its HIS WAYS, which decided everything and no other plan or line of action. It was amazing how he kept me busy for hours just to lead me where I was, where he wanted me to be, tera main. As the picture read, celebrating "HIS" presence. I made no other efforts, Rather there were no other efforts left to make. Its all "HIS WAYS". All "HIS WAYS" of saying, "keeping try but I just love playing and you!"


I belong to you guruji.



If ravana could laugh, why not you..


We all know Ravana had ten heads, and he managed to laugh from all 10 of them. We have just one, still we struggle to manage a smile through out the day. Even Ravana had problems, bigger than ours ,which included:
  • a legal suit against him for kidnapping someone else wife,
  • a brother who would eat for 6 months and sleep for next 6 months, not earning a single penny,
  • a sister without a nose,
  • a brother who betrayed him and joined the opposition party,
  • Opponent Rama's men, hanuman trespassing his private property and putting it on fire. Specially when insurance companies were not so active.
  • Just Imagine to laugh out loud, ravana would have to brush all his 320 teeth everyday, after all a emperor of an country build with yellow gold, couldn't flaunt yellow teeth.
  • Ravana owned a jet plane(remember the one in which he kidnapped sita),but mere writing rama's name of stone made them float on water. Ram could always claim to be more eco-friendly.
Even after all these problems, if ravana could laugh, why not we??



Bolo Bhai


Bolo bhai, kya haal hai

Kyu bigdi bigdi si ye chal hai
Tension se ho gaya hai bura haal
Dheere dheere uud gaye saare baal

ghar se nikalte he, bhajne laga ye phone
Kaap utha mein sun woh darawani ringtone
Dekha toh ghar se hi aaya tha phone
Utha te hi mene puch hello koun
Mere prashn ko andekha kar
Kehne lagi aate hua beauty cream toh lana
Aab aap hi batao, itne kaam budget mein ghar kaise chalna

Kuch der mein fir baaj utha ye phone,
Fir baji woh darawani ringtone
Bete ne kaha, bapu mein fir ho gaya fail,
ussi marksheet mein kaha raha hu bhel,
Aab aap hi batao, ye kaisi fairy tale

Kuch der mein fir baaj utha ye phone
Fir baji woh darawani ringtone
Aabki baar phone bank se aaya tha
Mere dil mein ek toofan uth aaya tha
Loan chukane ki pass aa gayi tareek
Ye sochte hi, meri tabiyat ho gayi baareek.

Fir kuch der mein baaj utha ye phone
Fir baji woh darawani ringtone
Haath aab lage the kaapne
Sunte hi dil sehem utha,
Kya munni badnaam ki hai aapne.

Jaad hai haar tension ki ye phone,
Upar se ye darawani ringtone,
Kar diya aab iss phone ko switch off
Katham toh hua aab iska khauf
Aap puchte ho kya haal hai
Tension se uud gaye saare baal hai

Valley Of Flowers....




It’s a local belief that fairies exist in the ‘Valley of Flowers’. The name was gifted by Frank Smith a British mountaineer and botanist who accidently discovered the valley while finding his way back from an expedition to Mt. Kamat, in the year 1931. Situated high in the Himalayas of the Uttaranchal, it is at an altitude of 3,600 meters above the sea-level, protected by snowy mountains.


Displaying an unabashed view of the magnificient bounty that Nature is, the valley is akin to a huge canvas with a million hues! Spread out over an area of 87.5 Sq. Kms., it is accessible only in the months of summer i.e. between June and October while the rest of the year it’s snow season. Besides being home to hundreds of flowers,it’s a haven for flower-lovers, botanists and trekkers alike, who cannot find excuse enough to emabark on a trip to this paradise. A detailed study of the valley has claimed the existence of 520 species of plants of which 498 are flowering plants. Orchids, Poppies, Marigolds, Daisies, Brahmakamals and Lilies lay out a rich carpet of welcome.

As a variety of butterflies flit about busily enhancing its beauty, the presence of rare animals like the Red Fox, Snow Leopard, Musk Deer, Tahr, Himalayan Black Bear, Himalayan Brown Bear and birds like the Golden Eagle, Griffon Vulture, Snow Pigeon make it even more enchanting. These living beings however, are the only ones to enjoy the pleasures of the valley throughout the year.

The nearest major town is Joshimath, located at a distance of 17 kms. Joshimath is the place where Adi Shankaracharya set up a 'mutt' in the 8th century. It is conveniently connected by roads from Haridwar and Dehradun, both at an estimated distance of about 270 kms. From Joshimath it’s an hours’ travel to Gobindghat, where a trek of 13 kms through steep and narrow but well defined paths lead upto to a small settlement called Ghangaria, located just 3 kms. away from the valley.Ghangaria has hotels with electricity and mobile towers. As one proceeds, one can experience the welcoming feel of the valley at the Pushpavati river itself!

Even a small flower from Natures’ bounty is enough to fill every cell in our body with joy and delight. To behold flora and fauna that extends upto the horizon, is nothing less of a divinely magical experience beyond the grasp of words. No doubt, the splendour and the scintillating beauty of the valley attracts tourists from all around the world. The Valley of Flowers, which is now a World Heritage Site, was declared a national park in the year 1982, in a bid to preserve this benevolent gift of Nature as well as maintain the natural eco-balance of the valley.



Indeed, this place proves true the saying, "Reality is restricted by your imagination"



Going That Extra Mile - Sir Subhash Bhide



The past few months have convinced me that ‘Learning is Eternal’. Prof. Subhash Bhide - 48 year ‘young’, teacher, guide and mentor to thousands of students, proves this adage true. A key professor at Bhide Education Pvt., Ltd., Professor Bhide is a Chartered Accountant and is in the teaching fraternity for the last 24 years, imparting 3 lectures a day on a daily basis. His excellence is not simply restricted to Taxation but extends up to the territories of Strategic Financial Management and Financial Reporting too.
Beginning with the Degree college curriculum, he also takes classes for professional courses like Chartered Accountancy. His pleasant disposition is a source of delight and inspiration for all. Constant innovations in the art of teaching, enlivening a boring subject with the right dash of humour and a focused teaching methodology are his forte.

Despite being part of an education system that is always being blamed for its various weaknesses, Prof. Bhide has always believed in self- excellence and never allowed his own learning process to stagnate. For him each day is a ‘learning day’, as much as it is a ‘teaching day’.

His unique teaching methodology has helped thousands of individuals grow and prosper from aspiring students to successful professionals. Prof. Bhide has played the role of an architect to the careers of many a professional, and works on future exemplary professionals everyday! It’s his teaching brilliance, which brings even practicing Chartered Accountants to attend his lectures, in a bid to quench their thirst for knowledge.

In ancient India, the schools or ‘Gurukuls’ as they were known as, had Rishis and Acharayas to impart knowledge, and these teachers did not just teach but worked diligently to mould their students into better and successful humans beings. Just like them, Prof. Bhide has gracefully accepted the responsibilities attached with this noble profession called teaching and has set a trend to follow!

A few weeks back, when I heard he had again come up with new explanations to the some old concepts, I didn’t pay much attention. It was only after I attended his Strategic Financial Management again, that I realized what I would have missed had I not attended! I was delighted to hear all the new and improvised explanations from him. He had once again, come up with something new and something better! Teaching the same concepts daily for the last 24 years, Prof. Bhide not just imparts knowledge but makes a visible difference in the students’ lives.

Like it’s said, “Honesty is not just giving your 100% everyday, it’s reaching beyond your 100% everyday.” Subhash Bhide Sir, is an honest and Happified teacher, guide and mentor

Sri Ras!!!


“Rahon mein jab teri chaaon mil gayi

Har mod ek nayi manzil mil gayi
Paane jo chale they tujhe
Humein apni phechan mil gayi


Gyan ki kuch boondon ke pyaase they
Tune puri Ganga hi pila di
Humein toh bas kuch nazaare dekhne they
bandh aankhon se tune puri duniya dikha di!

Saanson se toh hum sirf zinda they
Tune unse jeena sikha diya
Nahi pata aur jahaan hai ya nahi
Tune toh yahin swarg bana diya

Socha na tha kabhi itna payenge
Teri daali ke hum bhi ek phool ban jayenge
Mehekne lage ga yeh jeewan
Aur hum bhi is tarah khil jaaenge


Hum toh muskurahat ke bahane dhoond rahe they
tune muskurahat hi, woh bahana bana diya
Hum ne toh do pal ki khushi chahi thi
Naa jaane tune kab isey aadat bana diya”

Professionals of the Street




It is said, Beggars don’t have choice, but they definitely have the passion required for the job. Neither they eat nor do they sleep properly since it’s a necessity of their job. They follow their dress code religiously and are also very strict about the confidentiality of their job profile. Before starting the work, they decide the scope of their work area through mutual co-operation and work in their predefined limits and still get the best out of it but as a gentleman, we should never ask them how much they earn.

They never take any week off but instead work harder on holidays!! It is really amazing, how consistent they are when it comes to ‘pitching their product’. The same jingle everyday and still it works every time. While working they keep their ego aside and focus solely on the job. It is also remarkable how after every rejection, they keep giving their 100% and succeed. They have mastered the art of striking a perfect balance between the professional and personal life. They motivate their family to follow the same footsteps and teach them the ‘tricks of trade’ with an ON-JOB experience. We can learn so much from them, incorporating even few of the above qualities in our 'classy' jobs would make us deliver our best.


Think about it . . .

Jashn

Ye jashn ki surwaat hai
Har pal aab ek sugaat hai

Aao Jeele iss pal ko,
Ye khusiyo ki barsaat hai.


Khuli aakhon se sapne dekhe
Band aakhon se bhi dekhe
Utho, chalo aab unn sapno ko saakar karke bhi dekhe

kal toh ho gaya purana,
Chodo aab woh fasaana,
Aao Aaj jashn manale,
Milke ek nayi dhun banale

Mann mein kai prashn toh honge
Raho mein kai kasth toh honge
Sab bhul kar tu aage badh
Jeet ke kai jashn toh honge


Dekh raahe bula rahi hai,
Har pal ek sapna saja rahi hai
Chalke in pe jeet lo duniya
Ye Jashn ka bigul suna rahi hai

Jan lokpal bill???


The Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen's ombudsman Bill) is a draft anti-corruption bill drawn up by prominent civil society activists seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpal, an independent body  that would investigate corruption cases, complete the investigation within a year and envisages trial in the case getting over in the next one year.

Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde (former Supreme Court Judge and present Lokayukta of Karnataka), Prashant Bhushan (Supreme Court Lawyer) and Arvind Kejriwal (RTI activist), the draft Bill envisages a system where a corrupt person found guilty would go to jail within two years of the complaint being made and his ill-gotten wealth being confiscated. It also seeks power to the Jan Lokpal to prosecute politicians and bureaucrats without government permission.

Retired IPS officer Kiran Bedi and other known people like Swami Agnivesh, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Anna Hazare and Mallika Sarabhai are also part of the movement, called India Against Corruption. Its website describes the movement as "an expression of collective anger of people of India against corruption. We have all come together to force/request/persuade/pressurize the Government to enact the Jan Lokpal Bill. We feel that if this Bill were enacted it would create an effective deterrence against corruption."

Anna Hazare, anti-corruption crusader, began a fast-unto-death today, demanding that this bill, drafted by the civil society, be adopted. The website of the India Against Corruption movement calls the Lokpal Bill of the government an "eyewash" and has on it a critique of that government Bill. It also lists the difference between the Bills drafted by the government and civil society.

A look at the salient features of Jan Lokpal Bill:
1. An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up

2. Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations.

3. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore: Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.

4. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.

5. How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.

6. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month's time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years.

7. But won't the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal members? That won't be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.

8. What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.

9. What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.

10. It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption.

Humne jeena sikh liya hai!

Aazadi mile 62 saal beet gaye
Aab Humne jeena sikh liya hai

Koi kaam rishwat bina nahi ho raha hai,
Per humne jeena sikh liya hai

Police toh hai, per hamari raksha ke liye nahi
Aab humne jeena sikh liya hai

Har mod pe brashtachar ho raha hai
Per humne jeena sikh liya hai

Daar gair mulko se nahi, apno se hai
Per humne jeena sikh liya hai

Kharche baad rahe hai, jarurto ke badne se nahi per mehngai ke badne se
Humne jeena sikh liya hai

Chere pe hasi aab nayi baat lagne lagi hai
Per humne jeena sikh liya hai

Jeena toh sikh hi liya,
Aab aise jeewan se thak kar hum marne ke tareeke sikh rahe hai.

Paint me up!!!!

Paint me up!!

Come paint me up,
Paint me yellow, I want to shine like the sun and make a dawn
But your hand may burn, just to warn.

Come paint me up,
Paint me blue, I want to be deep like the sea and experience so many life dweling in me.
But you may sink, so let it be

Come paint me up,
Paint me red, I want to be the passion in you and make you cross all limits
But you may be at risk, nothing comes in easy bits.
Come paint me up,
Paint me green, I want to be the nature and the creator.
But you may lose yourself in me, don't blame me later.

Come paint me up,
Paint me black, I want to be the mystery and the dark.
But you may lose the sight, searching for a spark.

Come paint me up,
But this time paint me in you,
I wanna burn in you,

I wanna sink in you,
I wanna risk myself in you,
I wanna get lost in you
I wanna lose my sight in you,
Making you my sight for the world.

Innocent cheater


When you look into my eye, I hide something.
When you make me talk, I hide something.
When you hold my hand, I hide something.
When you make me walk, I hide something.
When you play footsie with me , I hide something.
When you wisper me your dreams, I hide something.
When you piggy bag me, I hide something.
When you pillow my shoulder, I hide something.
When you call me midnight, I hide something.
When you wake me at dawn, I hide something.
When you pull my hair, I hide something.
When you blow me a kiss, I hide something.
When you hum a song for with me, I hide something
When you make a dance with me, I hide something.
I hide it just to see you jealous
I hide it just to see you angry
I hide it just to see you doubt
And you know why I hide it,
I hide it just to see you care
I love it all and you know it all.

Sevabhav !!


Seva bhav or seva, is almost a forgotten aspect of human nature. We all work to get something and believe in give and take relationship. Ages ago, when gopis and lord krishna existed, they lived a very unique relation, where they only believed in giving without expecting anything in return. Gopis would just do what ever they could for krishna without even being told to do so. This gave them immense satisfaction and joy. They called it seva bhav.SevaBhav I.e emotions of seva. Even today, seva is still defined the same.
Manav seva I.e. Serving humans. When we selflessly help another human, it's called seva.
But is serving the lord and serving a human same or is their a difference, why are both called seva than and have the same effect. During krishna's period, people and other kings took krishna as a normal notorious king only, a human.
When we do seva, our ego melts and love florishes within and when seva is accompanied by meditation, you can also feel that expansion, which is beyond all limits. Seva enhances the feeling of being hollow and empty and that's the time to go inwards and experience solace. Its is the same experience of seva with humans and divine.

Next time, think before you sit.




Its me mat mama. . .well I am serving you from quite a time now. So you better respect me and call me mama. . .
I am never allowed to speak but things are not the same this time . Tables have turned. . No no. . I am not trying to dominate nor do I have any demands. .I just want to speak.
I felt so many people in past and have earned many pleasant and not so pleasant experiences. I still remember when that fat little uncle of your came and you made him sit on me. I really hated him for having those parathas earlier that day. .I was stinking for the whole day after he left. And how can I forget what that little cousin of yours did to me a few months back. I got 19 stitches on my body. If it wouldn't the energy of the meditation you did on me, i would have never healed. I love that energy, passing through every tread of my body. Filling up every corner with prana leading me the infinite world of bliss. But I am always ready to return you this favour, honesty is weaved deeper and deeper in me. Remember you were sick and you took some rest on me, i provided you with energy stored in me. Yea Yea , I know you will still thank those medicines but i won't complain.
Ohh i got soo lost in my thoughts, look at this cute baby there.
Come here baby,
Come to mama, Am so comfortable to be on. Oh come come.
Yea . . . Your skin is soo smooth, o dear, be carefull. .
Wait a min
Hold on
Why am a feeling drenched up. . . You son of a devil, didn't your mom thought you, we should use loo for doing all this. Someone help me get rid of this little kid. . . . Someone please clean me. . . Someone please helppp. .
Aarrrgggg monster!!!!!!

Imagine a place!!


Imagine a place,where dreams come true, even before the dawn
where smile is brighter than the sun,
where flower grow through love.

imagine a place where
Every tune makes a symphony
Where every word sounds like a melody
Where songs is alive.

Imagine a place where we have time for everyone
Where we live life in present
Where we live every moment

Imagine a place where everyone is messenger of peace
Where world is border less
Where world is one family.

Imagine a place where
People do what they love
Where love is lasting
Where every human is happified

beats of insanity!

I am going insane, my hears are full of sound,
you need not be silent to listen those beats, they are loud and clear
but they are making me go crazy, more and more every passing minute.
some one please stop them, they are killing me.
all my efforts to stop them are in vain.
the more I am trying to calm down, louder they are getting.
they are coming closer and closer.
my eye are getting heavier , forcing to shut.
in the admist of darkness, silence ruling the valley,
I don't know what this place is,
still am not scared any more,
you know why,because its soothing,
sudden light tearing the darkness, eyes open and those old beats starting all over again,
but they can't scare me any more
they are just my heart beats

Ashram Of Smiles!!!










Ashram, Aa-shram i.e. a place where there is no place for efforts and the first thing that comes effortlessly in Bangalore ashram is a smile. Its takes over our face the very moment we enter this place. The longer you stay here, bigger it grows. Sometimes jaws do pain but that just adds more smile to our face. You have no control over it, such is this place. Smile, a very small gesture, but has immense effect. It may appear on the surface but kindles love deep inside. Smile is a blessing, for those who feel unblessed or the ones, who doubt about it, can simply look into the mirror. The smiling self would just wash away all doubts. When we smile, even watching an elephant becomes pure delight, people with long hair and lose cloths look cooler than ever, washing our own dish feels so great and neither we mind walking kms just to see dome with plastic walls. Smile here is very durable and long lasting; it stays even after 2 triphala shots. Its beauty increases many folds when lips stay glued for days. Some smiles are full of divinity but the divine’s smile lightens our heart.

Warrior in Mess!!

Walking through the darkness.
In the clutter of thoughts and events
outer silence so horrifying, still calmer than inner chaos.
lost in the thoughts, walking the endless road,
with every passing minutes, mind goes numb.
like a warrior, still facing the battle
when the body gives up, mind freezes and eyes follow them.
woke up with strange sounds in the head,
Thunder tearing silence apart, dark clouds all around,
Raining to burn
Warrior gets back on his feet, to face the demons,
with valour and strength, tries to face the enemy
He looks all around but finds none.
Warrior searches for the self
He finds the demon atlast.
Breathing his way to bliss, ends the war.
Sun shining and smiling, lightens the path for the enlightened.

sunset and darkness!!!

If darkness is evil, why is sunset so soothing??

Many of us are scared of darkness, but why? we think darkness is bad or evil. If this is true, than why is sunset so soothing. We consider sunset as one of the most beautifull moment of the day. Many a times we travel far places just to enjoy SunSet and the bliss of the moment. Than why do we think, darkness symbolise the evil. A empty road even with proper street light looks scary and in day light it doesn't affect us. Simple logic is, in darkness, we can't see properly and in day light, we can see everything. But let's see this in a different shade, were darkness can be compared with lack of awareness. when we are ignorant, we are scared of uncertainties. But the moment about to come, is full of such uncertainties. At the same time light can be compared with awareness. When we are aware of the present moment, future uncertainties become certain. Just like our vision in day light.
