SUCH EMOTIONS ARE SO RARE IN TODAYS TIMES
WE ONLY MISS - CALLS ... AND MOST EXPENSIVE PHONES
We are all humans and it is but obvious to err. We are not
machines running on petrol and button clicks, we are humans, thinking humans,
made of pure emotions and sympathetic hearts, we are very creative people. I was
reading the newspaper and there were all this “news” about a man hanging
himself, and his wife eating pesticide, and his daughter being treated at a
Nursing Home – friends ! Why has man become so – Desperate. Do we ever try and
think, if by taking such drastic steps – we not only harm our own bodies but,
also, leave a dark spot on the face of – the existing humanity. Why are we so afraid
of the future. How do we know – it is us – who are at fault, and not – the one’s
always pointing fingers at us. Why do we feel, if we change immediately, things
will change. How many times will we change ? And if we will change so many
times, maybe we will change forever.
You see – changes too often and too many, leave a very tumulted
personality, and we start to feel, this life is a burden. We stop believing
ourselves. We start to depend on others for answers, we start to believe that –
those helping us are smarter beings with superior evolution and better rescuing
skills, but is it the truth ? Do you think a “a problem of mathematics you were
not able to solve initially” will get resolved with time, no friends – it is
not o simple. We remain what we are – from the time we are born, and, as I wrote
a few years back –
Tum badaltey waqt ke jhokon mein behtey hi rahogey,
Waqt to badh jayega par tum – machaltey hi rahogey,
Kyun nahi tum apney kuch adarsh kuch ayam kartey,
Yeh jaruri to nahi ki tum galat hi ho – yeh – kyun tum
mantey ho ??
Ab sabhi udgam suhaney apney – tum- rach lo yehi …
Janm se jaisa hai jo – who ant tak rehta wahi ………….
As I writer we believe the world is very simple, people love
one another, they love their families, they always want to do good to others,
but we often rise to the truth – people are corrupt, people are selfish, people
are self-centered. A woman you may love for 5 long years of your life, may suddenly leave
you and marry a person – she thinks – can give her a – bigger house, and
economically stable life. We make all possible decisions of our lives by ourselves,
but when it comes to taking decisions – that concern our own “selves” – we believe
on others. The result – we start planting a tree – that will bear – sour mangoes,
but internally we feel – we have seeded apples. I am not saying only women are
bad, but anyone who after involving himself/herself with a someone – for a long
time – suddenly feels – life is about better options, is a fool. No man is a
demon, no woman a witch, we live this life, on our own terms – and this is the
bitter truth.
In any case – my main motive – of being here is to let you
know – how to break barriers and not create them. Friends – today – I’m going
to write about a someone – whom I felt is not of this Earth, but a someone –
only fit – to stand in the cadre of Gods themselves, a someone I met recently –
a someone – who has this ability to wear a smile – even when she was in utter
pain. May God help her live a life of utter peace and utter bliss, this is my
last wish (if tomorrow – I am being hanged somewhere).
I met this person – almost 2 years back, and immediately
fell in love with the person. Not in the sense – that I wanted to have children
with her, but the way she approached things. Her style, her professionalism,
her attitude, and above everything – her Straightforward approach to the most
complex things of life. She left me struck – with lightening, and till today – I’m
shining in her light. Why does this happen, why do we get inspired ? Why does
this happen – even when we know – we might never be actually with a person, we
are now following, we still follow – the dream. You see life in its most basic
forms is a very ordinary exercise, start with toothbrush and end with – ear-plugs,
we live a life – like a big giant wheel, where we are sitting in one seat, and
the wheel, is going unstoppably round and round, we feel giddish. We want to
jump out of this wheel, but at the same time – realize – we have a role to play
inside the wheel. Friends – remember that feeling – when – almost scared to
death – inside that Giant Wheel, you saw an unknown someone waving to you from
the crowds below, the someone whose smile – relieved you of al that tension,
you were facing on that Giant Wheel. Such friends, such relations are very
important in life, if we will not search outside – the Giant Wheel - the Giant Wheel will obviously eat us, or
if not eat us, leave us – almost numb.
Friends – Life is not all about – listening – it is about
saying. Friends- life is not all about bearing – it is about fighting, Friends –
life is not all about dreaming – it is about – being with your dream – every minute
of your life, every second of your breath. Dreams are not some kind of an FD
which our family and realtives will encash on our passing to the next life.
Dreams are to be shared, dreams are to be explored, dreams are to be resolved. Someone
rightly said – when you see a storm coming – “Don’t request the storm to stop,
be courageous to face it now.” The storm will come and go, but your existence,
will depend on how you approach the situation. You may run and shout and
shriek, and still die. You may stand still, and simply pray – and you may live.
Life is not a bundle of joys – it is “small bites” of “immense pleasures”. We should
not be happy in life, we should try and be – “very happy”.
It is said – kisi bhi cheez ki ati theek nahi – par – sapno ki
ati honi chahiye – mehnat ki ati honi chahiye, “apne oopar vishwas ki ati hon
chahiye”, accha karney se accha hota hai, par sirf doosron ke saath nahi, khud
ke saath bhi.
Sab se bada sach duniya ka yeh hi hai – Ki wahi insaan
doosron ko khush rakhega – jo khud bhi khush hoga. Karela kha ke hasney walon
ko duniya pagal samajhti hai.
Just one last stanza of hope, dedicated to a friend – who changed
my life
In a day, in a way, when you cross – my timeline,
I feel happy, I feel joyous, I feel very sublime,
Don’t know why – we have
met, I don’t know, when shall we die,
All I know – is that “YOU” – have – transformed my – every “WHY”
In this world – I see hope, happiness also true,
Want to live every day – want to be by your side,
Like a stream flowing by, crackling sounds all around,
I’m a man – you’re my dream – let us now entwine…
Take care folks …. See you soon … keep coming back
And also remember – don’t miss – that cup of tea – at office
– sponsored by “no one” but that miser friend of yours. When you made him a
friend – was it only for his “Bank Balance” – then why are you worried now ……….
Keep Living
