Ashtavakra gyaan day 1-3

Day 1
Don't answer unless questioned

If someone demands an answer, stay silent. A demanding person has no ears. They have removed them and kept it aside like dentures

People who are for something or against something in extreme, both ways they are caught up in it.

Five principles:
Contentment
Truth
Compassion
Sincerity
Forgiveness

Day 2

The five elements; the earth , fire, ether, water and air element have subtle control on the mind. Mind is made up of these elements.

There r main 5 types of sensations and moods that arise.

Feeling of heaviness - earth element

Fiery feeling or feverishness,
Lot of anger, tightness or burning sensation - fire element

Movement or wanting to run away and go somewhere - air element

Feeling of togetherness, oneness, a flowing floating feeling - water element

Fear love, discomfort and total confort- ether element

You are none of these 5 elements, none of these elements stay all the time, they stay for some time and vanish

There is freedom when you realise you are just a witness to all happening. All the states of mind are temporary. You are pure consciousness - untouched and unstained by any event or happening!!

If you want to worry, worry big! Worry abt the future of this planet,the whole universe. The moment worry becomes big, it becomes joy.


Day 3

Our impressions, identifications or ideas about ourselves are the cause of our misery. Wisdom is not having any fixed idea about yourself in your mind!!

Indentifications we get stuck in can be male female, younger or older, skilled or unskilled. Class and status in society!!

You cannot be seen by your eyes.the self cannot be seen because the seer is the self. You can only "be" that all and meditation is just being, not having an experience or doing something.

When you see events as just 'happening', rather than as 'doing', you are liberated right away.

Not to do, to undo, is another doing. The desire to do something to get out of it is another 'doing'.

Just be happy! Sukhi bhava! It is an order as well as a blessing. Be happy, devoid of sorrow.

Coin life flips at us.

Every day Life flips a coin at us,
Day on a side and night on another
Both are good, both are bad
Some let them pass, some live them.

Every day life flips a coin at us,
Smile on a side and tear on another
Some smile through adversity
Some have tears of happiness

Every day life flips a coin at us,
Sleep on a side, worry on another
Some rest in the self,
Some run away from it

Everyday life flips a coin at us
Love on a side and lust on another
Some dive in the moment,
Some sink in misery

Everyday life flips a coin at us,
Some cry for a side,
Some take them both!!

Fakiraa

Kaahe tanke khada hai fakiraa
Daulat mein moti toh khub honge
Shej pe phool toh khub honge
Takiye pe neend kaha se laega

Kaahe tanke hai khada re fakiraa
Pyasa to choakhat se pyasa lot gaya
Apno ko bhi tu yuhi bhul gaya
Aab ye toh bata,
kriya mein aanaj kise khilawe ga

Kaahe tanke hai khada re fakiraa
Kaahe taade aasman ko ye teri naak
Iss Paap ri gathri se mukti kaise paega
Aab ye toh bata, uss Khuda se nazre kaise milaega

Kaahe tanke hai khada re fakiraa
Rishwat se har kaam ho jaega
Ji husuri se toh har daam mil jaega
Per ye toh bata, jaate jaate laare kya chod jaega

Kaahe tanke hai khada re fakiraa
Manoranjan ke toh se khub sadan hai
Dil behlane ke bhi khub tareeke hai
Akele chalte chalte, dhak kar, jab peeche mudega, kya koi nazaar aaega??

Kaahe tanke hai khade re fakiraa

Gangs of wasseypur reviews

"Teri keh ke lunga" , isn't that catchy when you read it on the posters, it appeals a bit when sardar khan (manoj bhajpai) says it, but has the potential to become a landmark dialogue. We Can say the same for the movie too.

Manoj bhajpai, has definitely played a character which is going to live long, if not as long as vito corleone from the movie The Godfather. He is fearless, cunning, loving, merciless, lusty and desi.
You would love sardar khan's wife and her surprising character, surprising because every time you think "she is just another desi wife" , she would prove you wrong. From allowing his husband to visit prostitutes when she is pregnant, feeding him more so that he performs better in bed with those prostitutes, training her son to take bomb making material to jail in a tiffin box to using coloured language, She is a wonderfully designed character.
Durga (sardar khan's mistress) plays a sultry character, who misses no chance to seduce sardar singh and the audience. she has shown a women in sexy in saree can be more sexy than one in a bikini.
GOW is like reading a novel, the story starts pre-independence and go on and on exploring different characters and their stories. It isn't just about sardar khan's revenge from the killer of his father, but every single character form the story.
You may feel, GOW is anurag kashap's attempt to make an Indian version Godfather series, but it would be unfair to call it a copy. Director has succeeded in keeping every character exclusive and very fresh. Their isn't much scope for predictability as the story jumps from one character to another, and than again to sardar khan.
Sardar khan's attempted assassination plot at the end of this part, was strikingly similar to godfather sequence  where vito corleone is attacked.
Movie promises a second part, which would take the story ahead from where it stops.
I paid Rs.190 for the movie and was quite satisfied. Am sure rowdies and goons are gonna use "Teri keh ke lunga" line while their mess ups.
A Good Movie!!!

Conversation between Love and hate

From hate to love:
yes, the whole world looks for you, but I possess them.
Where ever you go, you'll find me there.
When ever one finds you, I'll find him soon
100 words of you and 1 word of me

Love:
You may be true, but am the truth !!

Hate:
I am in your truth too, I make it painful.
World prefer to lie 100 times against your 1 truth
You are contaminated, am pure.

Love:
You maybe pure, but am the purity

Hate:
I have brought legends down, emperors to fall
I drew lines on the earth
You may be in demand, but am the supply
Humans fight in open, love in closed

Love:
They may fight in open, but their hearts are closed.
They may love in closed, but their hearts are open.

Hate:
In you, I am the lust.
In you, I am the jealousy
In you, I am the anger
In you, I AM

Love:
You maybe in me, but I still prevail !!

Shanghai Reviews (if you go for shanghai, take you brain along)

Saw #Shanghai , first of all, kasam khoon ki khai hai, seher nahi shanghai hai!! A very catchy line which comes on a perfect time.

Movie can be more described as modern art, very good if you understood and if not, start praising emraan hashmi!!! I would divide the movie among 3 men; emraan hashmi, dibakar beneerji and abhay deol. Emraan came out of his bhatt boy character and embraced jogi(thumps up), he is the one to watch in movie. The chances that you would like jogi increase by the fact that you haven't seen him doing anything like this before. You just can't miss emraan as jogi. Abhay deol played his role in his own subtle style, what makes krishnan come alive is the fact that he is very human. He isn't shown a larger than life hero or some extra ordinary character, am sure many real life officials would relate to him. He is honest, smart and again human. You may not go crazy behind him but you won't hate him either. now let's come to the director, dibakar tried to stick to his topic and story line leaving no room for non-relevant content perhaps that's what people would miss. We are habitual of masala movies and old habits die hard. He has a very sound and practical thinking process, will make you think very now and than, so do carry your brain along. kalki played her role well, but she has nothing for you to take away with post movie. Paid Rs.110 for the movie and I don't regret, my opinion could have differed if I would have paid some amount like Rs.250 for the movie. Last verdict : Movie can be more described as modern art, very good if you understood and if not, start praising emraan hashmi!!!
