Teri Galliyan Cover by Prakul Massey

Absoluteness – The thinking mind pains. Creativity is the other face of desires. Resistance - is a self help device. We can.

Some people believe the world was made by God, and any changes in that world may offend God. Others – who don’t believe this group – keep creating – their new world – and in every new world – their own new Gods. Why is there so much of variety in everything today – we get 1000 kind of foods to eat. 1000 colours of clothes to wear. Switch on the iPod – you can listen to 1000 different types of tunes. Is it not true – we have more choices than we need today ? Even – that one song – which we initially heard – gave us the calm, we required. Today – you listen to 10 songs , and still feel , I’ll bash that man – the next time I see him. Why do so many songs – can’t cool the aggression – inside us, that some time back – only one song could do? This is the strangeness of times. This is the strangeness of – having too much.

On a ‘lohri’ day or a ‘khichdi’ day – I often see , the child with just one kite – is so happy. The other – having possibly all kinds of threads , kites and paraphernalia is not able to still fly the kite in a proper direction. Why is that child more happy who has only one kite ; you know Gandhiji said – in India – it is a truth – if you have two shirts – give one to someone who doesn’t has – this will give you peace. Unlike other places in the world – where collecting and storing and hiding – help, in India – so many treasures were found only centuries later , by geologists – that were buried there by some old king , who when you read his – biography – led a life of utter penury and loneliness.

My friends – we all are inertly good. We all want to see the world equal. It is this “devilish notion” of being – somebody , that we start to lead a life – which is not – a real life. A real life has love. A real life has passion. A real life has no fear for death. A real life has the urge to create. The real life has the power to give. The real life has the ability to leave the past and carry on. The real life has the ability to stick to one person beyond our own maliced natures or greed of multiple relationships. How many of us can lead such a life ? How many of us lead such a life ?

Someone once told me – ki a man can either have “lovely hair” or “sharp brain” … both of them – never exist together , and what he meant by saying so – I till today can’t understand. But he was a good friend – and unfortunately for him , and also because he was my friend – He had very few hair. In any case – history goes by – I have heard he is father of 3 kids now. May God be with him wherever he is.

Friends – we can’t do all great things in life – but one thing we – honestly do – everyday – can be done in a great way. Greatness is something that is buried deep within the layers of history and the unrealistic world we are living into. Only after we are gone – people – pick up pens and write about us. People treat our families the way we treated their’s. The people lift up their arms to greet your loved one’s the way – you greeted theirs. Man is a ‘responding machine’ and it doesn’t reacts to information – it has no access to. Have you ever seen a man – dancing – in the open – in a specific pattern , when “totally” there is no music around. When is this possible – when either ‘he has lost it completely’ or ‘when his patterns have become much stronger than the patterns of the existing times’. Once back in history – Banana – must have been a fruit of curiosity to many, until, one day – someone must have ate it – not died in the process , and , then it became a truth – banana – is a fruit – friends we should eat it regularly. I still don’t know apart from a very articulate taste – what exactly a banana has to offer to human beings. Coke Zero has no sugar they say – I say banana has – no sugar , no taste , no aroma – still we love drinking banana shake – are we insane ?

People do things traditions put down on them, it is only in very tough circumstances – they have the courage to break – that tradition, or rather to say – change themselves for a cause. Otherwise – 1 out of million can see – the world collapsing – and starts to move to save it. In Christianity – they say – it was “Jesus Christ” – a convict of His times, a person – working all against the order, a dictator in self belief. So they hung Him. Centuries later – we have now – Made our dates and calendars in the pretext of “After Christ” and “Before Death of Christ”, why can’t ordinary people not see – what messengers – see. Because – God – takes care of many – but – God talks to only very few. God knows – the devil not only said – he wants to rule, he swayed his effect on majority. The effect has long lasted – the effect shall long last, the only truth is – the day Devil shall rule – there shall be death and fire only all around. God doesn’t wants it. God created it. The creator never wants his creativity to go in vain.

Remember ! The last paper boat – you made out of paper , and then someone – tore it apart. How bad you really felt ? Now, understand – God made this world. We are creating pollution. We are changing the order – we are working in the nights. We are maximizing profits. We are joking all day. We are focused on self – not realizing the world around us. Is God happy ? Is God happy seeing His own creation destroy his own creation. Somewhere – the order has to change. Somewhere we have to speak of chage. Somewhere – we have to ‘change ourselves’.

Even when the person living next to us is suffering from TB – we have to cook food, on a device – that shall propagate maximum smoke – is it correct. Why can’t we change to electric cooking ?

Enough advising – I’m sure – some of you shall understand what I mean – and will make a conscious effort to change.

May God Be With You as Well as Me.

Just some dose of prose –

This world it shines and smells divine ,

When we let it breathe when we think – “its mine”

And the birds in the air, and the white white hare,

Jumps all around in gaiety , and gives a snare ;

How we live is important , how we treat mother nature ?

 Its not just a question ? It’s a question of being divine.

We don’t come , just to go , we have jobs to finish,

We are creatures above all , we don’t have any limits,

We can live, we can help, we can sing some lovely songs,

We can clean, we can eat, and can serve a earthly pot.

How we serve ? How we help is important to how we live,

Its not just a question to be answered – in a line.

There are men there are women who keep thinking of us all

They are weak , Very sterile , are we gentle enough to this life

Or are we building – down a factory – that shall pump out so much waste,

That all life around this property – shall but become a lonely – waste

And then – in some dirty party – when some – drink my dirty make

He’ll die of liver cirrohis , my gift of death – to take

I don’t know how these people – do they eat and drink just – coins

Do they have no love for people , do they have no fear of life

Then I’ll say – I don’t need Hell – Sir ! I’ve seen the Satan sing,

Its Earth – It’s a Factory of Evil – And I shall make it sink.

When the last breath – dances in you

And your eyes just start to – sway

You feel – there’s nothing inside you

You feel its your last day

You call on the spirits of the jungles

You call on the people you have to pay

And then sing – in a harsh and lonely voice

Oh ! God – atlast I pray

Please save me from this Devil …….

And give me another day

Note – Friends – let us not make that day become a reality for us. We all can do something to change this world a little. We will become aliens – once we die, but are children shall have to pay the price – of – our negligence.

“NEVER SMOKE IN PUBLIC PLACES”

“NEVER DRINK – MORE THAN – U THINK”

“IGNORE THE GREYS – TRY AND WEAR THE PINKS” !!!!!!!!!!!!

Take care

The importance of colours in our life. Do colours have a meaning ?

                                             We come in this world and start experiencing so many things. The sights we see. The odours we smell. The sensations we get. The emotions we feel. The things we like. And, the things we don't like much. Some may say that they even hate certain things - you see extremities (or in other words - biases) may happen, but they are our overcoming techniques on those issues we can't resolve to.
                             In any case - the things we like , become our habits and the things we don't - become our evils. All morality and all civility is organized around this. 
                             As per scientific notions - we are nothing but - a re-cycled product of our parents genes, but then - it means we are another product of this Human Cycle ... also - which means - a person - having a good leadership attribute will give birth to the same species of a human - He/She will be a born leader.
                            But the truth remains - we become what we want to become. We become what we strive to become. We become what our actions derive us to become.
                            How can a person - selling vegetables - suddenly - start believing - that he/she can become a teacher ? Is it possible ? Practically Not. But - Emotionally - Yes.
                            For those of us who would understand the problem of this boy or girl - on a generous level , will atleast give it a genuine try .... u see we can't make or break a person's destiny, we can atleast - keep that person in a positive frame of mind.
                           In real life - we come across very few people who speak positive of life. Why is it like this .....is still a question that often pinches me. Most talk about - hardships, most talk about pains, most talk about - dis-beliefs .... but very few would come ahead .... and say ... today - I feel so good.
                           You see - these coming ahead - and saying - they feel good....are your genuine friends. Those trying to demoralize you are your enemies, or rather I should say - people not bothered about you.
                           Nature has so much to offer. The blue skies. The yellow butterflies. The green leaves. The transparent waters. The brown coloured tea. And the beautiful white dust - we live with. Why should we be scared of our own surroundings. 
                           We don't know when we shall die. We don't know what future has in store for us. Why should we then linger onto things that trouble us ? Are we trying to say - we are God's - who can change - fate. No we can't. 
                           The colours of life - change every now and then. Somedays - you like wearing red. Somedays - its green..... its not always - white or black. And this is where - times turns its back on those - who stop seeing these colours in life. Have you ever noticed - the uniform of 'Jail Inmates' - they are white - with black stripes ... there are no colours. Alas ! There is no life. Or this is the reason they are put to seclusion - that they understand - what real life is all about.
                         I feel - only if in a days - time - we take out a few minutes and feel - why whose wearing what ? Do not directly - remark the person .... but this much of comprehension - will bring you closer to this person's sensibilities.
                        Now I am changing - the colour of my writing to blue. You immediately feel .... moving onto a different level. Blue is a colour of God. The sky is blue. The sea is blue. Blue represents vastness. Blue represents - royalty. Most kings of ancient times wore blue colored cloaks - they looked - of royal decent - and people loved to see them that way. 
                       Now you see - what I meant - when I said all colours have a meaning. 
                       But to my awe - I often think - how differently we think in different religions - 
In Christians - A Girl To Become A Bride Wears Only But White.
In Hindus - When someone dies - most people are seen wearing white.

One is a occasion of extreme happiness. The other - of extreme grief. The more important question - here - then definitely is not - of "Choice of Colour" ..... but - in both these events - all of us involved - want Peace of mind ....

And - white truly symbolizes - Peace & Happiness

The reason why a white pigeon always meant ceasefire - was because white - is a representative of tranquility and life

NOTE - NO WORDS WRITTEN HERE ARE MEANT TO UPSET ANYONE'S BELIEFS OR SENTIMENTS. THE DISCUSSION IS TOTALLY TOWARDS - THE RELEVANCE OF DIFFERENT COLOURS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

IN INDIA - WE TOTALLY AGREE - WE ARE ONE NATION DESPITE OUR NATURAL DIFFERENCES. JAI HIND.

Are we being over conservative? What smartness are we talking about?

Dear Friends ,

We listen to a song - from some film - "TV pe breaking news hai yeh mera ghaghra , Punjab se leke Dilli via Agra" and then , we say - our culture is getting hit by - Western Sensibilities.

What is our sensibility ?

India today rakes under a fear of 'culture loss' completely - forgetting - that this same culture - has withstood so many - centuries , so many decades , so many empires , and so many civilizations. Have we changed ? I'm sure we'll all answer - No.

If we know - that time can't change us - why do we feel strangulated at times, has it anything to do with insecurity - the way we portray it. Or, actually - it is - our Desire - to show the world - we have survived.

Maybe - we don't have the "Best Linen" .... available in the world ... but do we ever think ...that we actually don't even need it. Friends - we are a rich nation .... and that is the reason - why so many times - so many - have come - to enjoy our hospitality. The only big problem - is we always exchange our gold - for their iron.

Why doesn't India learns to fight. Why do we stand up and start clapping - every time a "Fair Complexioned Foreigner" is brought infront of us. Why can't we not understand - It is not his land. He will never - Develop it.

Either we are too - short-sighted , or , we lack this feeling of Nationality. Why are our books - not teaching about the freedom struggle in detail ? Why are our children - still treated as second grade - in their own homeland ?

Sensibility - is not something - that comes - from 'Learning or Teaching' ...it comes directly from within .. we either like something .... or we don't ..... a compromise - is like - eating fish - without liking it.

The tone of the article may sound a bit political here, but the truth remains. Only by saying - this - That we will be made smart - now. It shows the presumption - That we are currently stupid.

Last but not the least - when shall we do something ?

India is not its cultural heritage , India is not its forts and fortresses , India is also not Bollywood. India is what lives under the constant fear of death due to lack of good quality life.

We need to be sensible , as well  as sensitive , towards - what we want to do with our Nation. Remain - the secretary - to the Gora Saab - who has no concern for our life. Or become the king - of our land - and believe in God - to turn it rich for us.

I don't believe in fate or destiny. I believe - men - can do things - God - wants them to do. It is on them - how much they believe in God.

Take Care ............ Keep Reading

India is dying. Food crisis has hit us. Why are grains not being made cheap ? Where is our food ?

Life is about moving ahead. Old things frustrate. Speed of life should be fast.


I don't know why people think so much about whom they lost - to time destiny luck or whatever. The fact is that they have lost them. We should always think of better things that lie head of us. Because on bitter truth of life - that those who abandoned you for better pastures, will never come back.

Someone once said to me - always marry a person - 'who loves you' and not the person 'you love' .... now I understand why that person said so , because - in a relationship - the girls always have a upperhand. Men love women , but at the same time also - transfer the control in that woman's hand - to take - decisions - that actually involve both of them.

People in India tend to think , much below the Emotional thresh-hold required to maintain and carry long term relations. People are mal-nourished. People are poor. The vicious cycle of poverty we read in Economics is at play here. When I want food - I can even duplicate myself into your well-wisher , the tragedy is - I am not actually your well-wisher , but I start to pose one.

I really feel so low - that - I had some such people in my life. Anyways - God may full fill their desires , their weaknesses and make them see - the world on a better - platter ... a platter of love , a platter of creativity , a platter of growth.

We are not what God has made us ..... but we are there for a purpose. We have to create a better humanity. We have to help the world survive.

Some of the things that need our attention are -

1). Small children (newly born children) need a lot of care and support
2). Women (post delivery) need a lot of care and support
3). Sick people (especially with incurable diseases) - such as TB , Cancer , Aids , etc need our care and attention
4). Old people - are at the centre of our concern. They are the power houses of experience , imagine where the world will go - if they are not there to show us the way.
5). Youth - the most - confused ...has to be !!! it is in the centre of the "Apex" ... this is where - he/she needs to concentrate. Once 10-15 years ahead of here, they will have to live in a world that - they had created for themselves. You waste your youth - you destroy your future. You nurture your youth - you enjoy life later. Also, the government should - facilitate - "Early Marriage" ...and provide some sort of assistance initially to such couples , so that they can - atleast also create a family, and their thinking horizon broadens. Such little measure - can make them feel - they are cared for.

India as a nation is growing ... only in terms of population , hatred , color , religious and caste based divisioning .... the Fundamental Question of "United we grow" - "Divided We Fail" has come into play. Our leaders - or I must say - the disillusioned but powerful , are creating a weak India.

Not everyone can think, but those who can think. Must start it now. Otherwise , we will but remain - a nation without emotional beings. We will watch movies but no one will smile or cry. Can we imagine that sight ?

Make the food cheap. Make the food in abundance. Don't starve your own people. Do something.

The Feeling of Longingness - The Central theme in Many Bollywood Movies.

Mere dil ne chun laiyaa ne

Tere dil diyaan raahan

Tu jo mere naal tu rehta

Turpe meriyaan saaha

Jeena mera.. hoye

Hun hai tera, ki main karaan

Tu kar aitbaar mera

Main karoon intezar tera

Tu dil tui-yon jaan meri

Main tenu samjhawan kee

Na tere bina lagda jee

 

The words are from a popular movie in bollywood - Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya ... and, the song has been constantly toppingthe charts all across India as well as Asia. Now what I feel about this song. This song has a lot of soul in it. The song portrays - longingness, compassion, desire to associate with the one he/she loves. We are such a busy nation. The best part is busy - without much business. We love to shop, we love to drive, we love to watch TV alone....and finally - we love to see life pass by, when we are eating those good for nothing morsels in the night. Why is our life so dark ? Why is our heart so heavy ? Why do we feel so alone ? Why don't we want to live ? The simple answer to this might be - our inner strengths are weak. We like to be less talked too ... we like to be silent - we like to - think about things - that are futile and waste , and we try to keep occupied in things that can get us money...but what about Happiness. Friends it is very natural - to suddenly start thinking differently in life. If we eat the same ice-cream day in and day out, we will get bored. Same is with relationships ..we don't want to see the same face - day in and day out. We must respect our privacies. We must get some time with our own selves also. We are not born slaves of destiny. We are there to chose. No we will not Maggi today...it will be Top Ramen. Life is about a bit change friends. Then there are those notions of old memories coming back. It is true - our subconscious stores - many of those old memories - we consciously or unconsciously suppressed some time....it is so unfortunate - for some...that Time and Destiny .... does something - they start to relive the same era. Why is it so with only some ? Why can't we have a life .... where we eat, drink , stink and die.... why do we think ?
A song that struck my mind yesterday ...just a few lines from it...

Humey dosti tumne itna rulaya kyun ???

Humey dosti tumney itna sataya kyun…

Jahan hum miley they ..Bahut khush wahin par they..

Humey tumne- wapas- wahan se bulaya kyun…

                                                                           

Kya mai kahin kho tha gaya

Ki neend mei mai so tha gaya

Aur ab jab meri neend khuli …. tum ho nahin…

Ya mai pareshan…tha bahut …

Ya ki koi baat nahi…

Mai jo ab socht-ta hun….mere alfaaz nahi…

Check youtube soon...........you'll get the real song too.

Hope you like it.....

Keep living.

Keep giving.

Kyunki dene mein woh maza hai jo lene mei nahi...aur yeh baat har woh insaan janta hai jisne jindagi mein kabhi kuch - bina matlab ke paya ho ...................... :)

God bless u all
