To live up to Life!

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts.

Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

A letter heavy with love..

It feels so silly sometime. Don’t know the letter which has heavily loaded with so much love will reach you or not. If it reached you don’t know you will see it or you consider it or not!

But no regrets. I believe strongly that love itself is giving and not expecting back. Love is enjoying  ‘the giving’.

Did I express the love I have for you anytime? Or its in the dream? But the moment I expressed is a dreamlike situation. A drug dosed moment. Also it’s a failed moment. It is failed because it has never really expressed the amount of love I have for you. Feel like it has able to express only one percent of what I have. Sometime I think to express it completely I need 75 years minimum which I want to spend with you.  Because love is actually a verb, it is actualized only through loving.

Sorry, as love makes a human – a Human, it also does make him philosophical. (unlike Socrates quote in which he says unhappy marriage makes a man philosophical)

Anyway how are you? Hope you are having rocking life as usual.

Me? I’m not ok.

After coming here so far from you I feel God has stolen a part of my soul to create you. Yes, I’m missing you badly. Sorry this is not the same kind of ‘missing’ which is used so often, so mechanically which has no meat or a shallow one by just typing in the mobile while you are enjoying food or enjoying the visuals in front.

You know- this missing someone- is a slow process. It’s like a medicine which is being injected. First few days were fine. Only sometime I would feel that I have lost some part of mine. But after some days it’s deeply spread in to my system; my daily routine. In between the work, in between having lunch, or in between sleep - a wave of pain flows through my mind. Or a bird of nothingness without wings flies right through my heart piercing it. It is pain you will not feel like crying. This is in which you will suddenly become silent and think wish you are here, right now.   

Now I’m experiencing a real missing pain.

P.S.: We can turn the pain of missing someone to the inspiring one. Trying to learn it.

Disconnect to connect!

 “Mobile phones make our relationship stronger and will block the new relationship to make.”

This has been said by famous hindi lyricist Prasoon Joshi in a interview. He was giving an example that when he was in a clinic waiting for his turn in a queue. He was feeling bored to wait and he took out his mobile phone and started texting his friends. End of the day when he thinks back at that situation he suddenly felt that if mobile phone wasn't there then he would have talked to the person next to him. He would have asked that person what happened, about his illness and he would have wished him good.  A feel good air would have been there around him, if such a conversation was there. He would have grown as a person with being human approach with the guy who is not well. By choosing to use the mobile phone, over a conversation with the guy next to him he thought he missed an opportunity to connect with new people instead  he made a move to make strong his bonding with the friend who is already connected.

I was thinking over this for long period. Many instances I have seen and even I have gone through and made such a move. Some days back I saw an advertisement showing this issue with conviction. The message is conveyed so perfectly, even though I’m very much towards writing field, I still feel that visually in that ad it has been showed with a precision. The feel, the visual, the effect is perfect in place.

I have attached here, hope you see and not to enjoy, to think.

Another issue is with the generation which we are living is the shorter attention span. Be it as bigger as national problem, natural disaster or be it a small issue of spending 2 minutes of power cut. And mobile phone is used as an escape route for our shorter attention span. If you meet a good old friend you talk and talk, after a while if you keep quiet for some minutes suddenly he goes in to the world of mobile phone.

One day I was in the bus and a girl was sitting in a seat which is meant for senior citizen. The bus was moderately full and nobody was standing. That girl was immensely inside the mobile may be chatting via text or with some apps or game. In one bus stand couple of 70 above person entered the bus, and they are in standing but the girl didn’t come down from her mobile world.

Even I observe before the start of any seminar, or even the introduction of the seminar (sometimes in between seminar too!) I will see people hooked in to their world of hand phone.

And I feel in this fast world - keeping quiet, doing nothing for 5 minutes is most difficult thing to do!

Or it might be an example of necessity (mobile phone is for communicating with people who stays far) is shifting its arms over luxury or depending on machine (I can’t live without my hand phone!)! 

Between need and greed!

I was studying my 10th class, when I saw this ad about the tuition. 

It was a private school, only meant for tuition for the students beside their normal college hours. I heard some of the lecturer's from my college was also teaching in the tuition school. (After many years the rules has been made such that college lecturer's should not teach in tuition schools for the reason to be fair to the students who don’t go to tuition or cant afford the tuition fee). In the ad they have put the student's name who got a rank by studying in that tuition school with the recommendation sentence from that guy with his 32 teeth smile.  I felt very happy so that by joining the tuition my mathematics number will improve and I could get a seat in a good college. 

With the dream behind me I went to apply for the tuition. There was a big queue. It was a small town where I live, so people always have a big dreams may be to go to cities, earn hell lot of money, enjoy the new movies (in my town all the old films use to come) etc etc. When I'm taking the application I saw the eligibility section. It was written there if you want to join there you should have got minimum of 80% in your previous class. In which I was no where nearby. I was thinking that If I'm in that standard of marks why should I join tuitions here? First of all tuition's main intention is to make a 40 marks or below student to 70 and above level. When a student is already brilliant then a inspirational speech would be enough for him to get more marks, right? 

Then I thought this tuition class would be useful for the students who has 30 teeth smile to make him 32 teeth smile student. And put him in to ad and attract guy's like me and make money if I'm useful. Of course I didn’t go to the tuition (I thought they are not right to give tuitions and, they thought I'm not eligible to join the tuitions.. Now I feel we both are right!) still able to get distinction at 10th grade. 

My point is, a lower grade student might need an extra effort from the teaching side which may not (most of the cases) be fulfilled from attending college classes only. So the need is for him, who want to get good score, who cant follow lecturer's rush to finish syllabus in college. 

It is not only for students, in general any section of the life the point is help to be  provided for needy people not to greedy. 

A Poem to charge you up!

This is a poem by Poet Rudyard Kipling which you must read in your hard time with life or when your opponent screwed you, or when you are in unsuccessful phase of your life.

Definitely it will charge you up!

If

If you can keep your head when all about you 
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; 
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, 
But make allowance for their doubting too; 
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, 
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, 
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, 
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;




If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; 
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; 
If you can meet with triumph and disaster 
And treat those two imposters just the same; 
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken 
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, 
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, 
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;




If you can make one heap of all your winnings 
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, 
And lose, and start again at your beginnings 
And never breath a word about your loss; 
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew 
To serve your turn long after they are gone, 
And so hold on when there is nothing in you 
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";




If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, 
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; 
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; 
If all men count with you, but none too much; 
If you can fill the unforgiving minute 
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - 
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, 
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son! 

-      Rudyard Kipling.

Parents and childrens.

One old lady was filling the entry form for the “old aged home”. 

There was a question in the form asking “how many children do you have?”   

She stopped for a second and wrote “3” with little sadness...

Unknowingly a tear drop fell in to the form and the faded the number she wrote.

Kiss me and smile for me!

Just to share a really nice romantic song, which moves me every time I hear!

 

************

 

 

 

All my bags are packed

I’m ready to go..

I’m standin here outside

Your door..

I hate to wake you up

To say goodbye..

 

But the dawn is breakin

Its early morn

The taxi s waitin

He s blowing his horn

Already I’m so lonesome I could die..

 

 

So kiss me and

Smile for me

Tell me that you’ll wait for me

Hold me like you never let me go..

 

I’m leavin on a jet plane

Don’t know when I’ll be back again

Oh babe I hate to go...

 

 

Theres so many times I’ve let you down

So many times I’ve played around

I tell you now

They don’t mean a thing

Every place I go I think of you

every song I sing I sing for you

When I come back ill bring your wedding ring

 

So kiss me and

Smile for me

Tell me that you’ll wait for me

Hold me like you never let me go...

 

I’m leavin on a jet plane

Don’t know when I’ll be back again

Oh babe I hate to go...

 

Now the time has come to leave you

One more time let me kiss you

Then close your eyes

I’ll be on my way

 

Dream about the days to come

When I won’t have to live alone

About the times, I won’t have to say

 

So kiss me and

Smile for me

Tell me that you’ll wait for me

Hold me like you never let me go...

 

Cause I’m leavin on a jet plane

Don’t know when I’ll be back again

Oh babe I hate to go...

 

But I’m leavin on a jet plane

Don’t know when I’ll be back again

Oh babe I hate to go...
