Being Awake..!!

“Victory is defending whats right while we live.”

Came across this punch while watching an english movie.
Truly a phrase that most of the people should blend into their lives.
Its useless running after things that are immaterial and have a short life span. I mean all the insignificant “things” that have made our lives dependent on them and cause us to be a slave to them. There are so many issues that our nation is confronting with and it demands the participation from all. And more so from the youth of today. I guess people should be doing whats morally and virtually right and feel proud of it not in the way that they are doing some big thing but in a way that they are making this place a living heaven, as if the fight of goodness has achieved victory over the evil. Rest the youth is more aware and open to whats happening right now, be it exploding bombs, murders, slavery, child exploitation, female infanticide, etc.( the list is endless..). Unless people are going to come forward and do whats called “The Right Thing”, we cant progress. How are we going to give our future generations the land that we obtained with so many hassles. Are we going to let new generations breed in this chaotic atmosphere where human is not concerned about humane things but more so about the power, money, success, egos, and virtually built religion barriers. Aren’t we supposed to worship the values our ancestors wanted to inculcate or more so imbibe in us. Aren’t we suppose to walk “The Path”. Where are we heading…?

Please keep watching this space as lots more is yet to come..!!

Thought..!!

Kitni shiddat se tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai.. Ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai….

The famous dialog quoted above means “Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”
So, if you have strong determination and great will power , then you’ll find everything “impossible” as “i m possible”.

When My Mind is Still…

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I remember things too easily forgotten:
The purity of early love,
The maturity of unselfish love that asks –
desires — nothing but another’s good,
The idealism that has persisted through all the tempest of life.

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can find a quiet assurance, an inner peace, in the core of my being.
It can face the doubt, the loneliness, the anxiety,
Can accept these harsh realities and can even grow
Because of these challenges to my essential being.

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can sense my basic humanity,
And then I know that all men and women are my brothers and sisters.
Nothing but my own fear and distrust can separate me from the love of friends.
If I can trust others, accept them, enjoy them,
Then my life shall surely be richer and more full.
If I can accept others, this will help them to be more truly themselves,
And they will be more able to accept me.

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I know how much life has given me:
The history of the race, friends and family,
The opportunity to work, the chance to build myself.
Then wells within me the urge to live more abundantly,
With greater trust and joy,
With more profound seriousness and earnest service,
And yet more calmly at the heart of life.

Thought for the Day….!!!

• Parindo ko milegi manzil ek din yeh faile hue unke par bolte hain,
  Wohi log rehte hain khamosh aksar zamane mein jinke hunar bolte hain…..!!

A Thought..!!

When at the same time one feels joy and sorrow,
Sunlit sadness weeping golden tears,
Glad today but wary of tomorrow,
Half-consumed by pride and half by fears;
When one possesses what one most desires
Yet knows that one must soon that fortune lose,
Rich in all that happiness requires,
Yet poor, for what one knows one would not choose;
When the day, rolling in its glory,
Must meet its gaudy end in unsought night,
Then one must find the beauty in one’s story,
And, like the sun unceasing, pour forth light.
So will I, till you come home again,
Still feel this joy resplendent through my pain.

The Art of Being Well

If you don’t want to be ill…

• Speak your feelings.

Emotions and feelings that are hidden, repressed, end in illnesses as: gastritis, ulcer, lumbar pains, spinal. With time, the repression of the feelings degenerates to the cancer. Then, we go to a confidante, to share our intimacy, ours “secret”, our errors! The dialogue, the speech, the word, is a powerful remedy and an excellent therapy!

• Make Decisions.

The undecided person remains in doubt, in anxiety, in anguish. Indecision accumulates problems, worries and aggressions. Human history is made of decisions. To decide is precisely to know to renounce, to know to lose advantages and values to win others. The undecided people are victims of gastric ailments, nervous pains and problems of the skin.

• Find Solutions.

Negative people do not find solutions and they enlarge problems. They prefer lamentation, gossip, pessimism. It is better to light a match that to regret the darkness. A bee is small, but produces one of the sweetest things that exist. We are what we think. The negative thought generates negative energy that is transformed into illness.

• Don’t Live By Appearances.

Who hides reality, pretends, poses and always wants to give the impression of being well. He wants to be seen as perfect, easy-going, etc. but is accumulating tons of weight. A bronze statue with feet of clay. There is nothing worse for the health than to live on appearances and facades. These are people with a lot of varnish and little root. Their destiny is the pharmacy, the hospital and pain.

• Accept.

The refusal of acceptance and the absence of self-esteem, make us alienate ourselves. Being at one with ourselves is the core of a healthy life. They who do not accept this, become envious, jealous, imitators, ultra-competitive, destructive. Be accepted, accept that you are accepted, accept the criticisms. It is wisdom, good sense and therapy.

• Trust.

Who does not trust, does not communicate, is not opened, is not related, does not create deep and stable relations, does not know to do true friendships. Without confidence, there is not relationship. Distrust is a lack of faith in you and in faith itself.

• Do Not Live Life Sad.

Good humor, Laughter, Rest, Happiness. These replenish health and bring long life. The happy person has the gift to improve the environment wherever they live. “Good humor saves us from the hands of the doctor”. Happiness is health and therapy.

- Dr. Dráuzio Varella

Is it you…

Cactus, thought pretty much conventional it may seem, always has been associated with negativity or same kind of bad omen if gifted on any occasion. I still find it hard to believe why creatures in this advanced technical world with science finding solutions to every possible question one has, still believe in such myths. Is it because of its appearance, its color, its anatomical features or what. I seriously bet on that. I always believe one has been created for some purpose and nothing is good or bad until we start evaluating it in terms of whats beneficial to us or not. As the laws of nature says, “Survivial of the fittest” is what cactus is all about. I seriously bet even the strongest wont be as developed as this particular invention of god’s is. These are the most unusual ones and hence wont find them in usual occurences. Adaptable to high arid and hot environments, they have developed themselves high time to conserve water – a source of energy. Expanded stems containing chlorophyll for life and growth. Cacti have also developed spines which allow less water to evaporate through transpiration by shading the plant, and defend the cactus against their enemies like water – seeking animals.

Coming to humans, you too find cacti who have developed themseles to survive the extreme conditions. Like in plants, humans too have shades of behaviour similsr to the spines of cacti that help them to defend themselves from the evil that surrounds them. “Survivial of the fittest” holds true even here. People are being crushed by pressure, stress, society, personal circles, unhealthy environments and so to survive in these conditions, a peculiar sort of behaviour starts surrounding the individaul. Like spines, we too start depicting irrational behaviour which prevents us from the unhealthy, predator like environment. Like cacti, humans too derive their energy from they have inside conserved over a perid of time. Where the normal ones give up, these get going. Like it is said, “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going”, so true a thought to be. Unusually they possess high tolerance power enough to make them survive. This is just a leaflet taken out from the similarities between the various forms of livings.

One Fine Day…

“What a bright Sunday morning it is today…”, I told myself. After so many days had I seen such a bright morning. Thought the day would be good. Just after getting over with normal morning routines, decided to have some breakfast. But as soon as I started to have it, I realized it tasted awful or was it simply my taste buds had gone bizarre as my parents seemed to enjoy it. Somehow I got over with it. Suddenly I recalled that even my toothpaste didn’t taste good few mins earlier. “Forget it….” was my first reaction. After getting over with my breakfast, decided to do some cleaning and dusting as I love doing that on holidays. Just when I picked up the cloth, the dust seemed as if I was caught in a sandstorm trying to get hold of myself, the sand blowing into my nostrils giving a nostalgic feeling. I kept asking myself, it isn’t the first time that I am doing this stuff, then why only today it seems so weird enough. “Forget it….”, was my first reaction and I decided to have a bath after I cleaned up my room and the house. After some cool showers thought of watching television or listen to some music. But to my utter surprise, the channels I used to prefer watching on Sundays seemed to have lost their charm or was it that I was lost somewhere. “Hmm…….Huh…..Hulloooooo………Is that supposed to be a holiday for me…” was my instant thought. Not even a single channel could grab my attention and I kept on switching from 1 channel to another. After utter dismay, I thought switching it off would be a better option. Nothing seems to go right for me since morning. “Lunch time…..”, was my ma’s call. “Yippee….”, was my thought. As I started to eat, at first it seemed delicious, but how long can my day that had been so far forget me. It, in a few seconds, caught up with me & bingo, my food got sour. I asked my mom to taste it and she exclaimed with surprise, “What is it in the food that you didn’t like. It tastes absolutely fine” Now that was a real shocker, rather a bouncer I would say because I had no clue from where did it come. Somehow I managed to finish it, but for the whole duration of my meal I kept thinking what’s going on with me, why is it that I am not able to appreciate anything good, why is it that I am avoiding situations. Huh….too much…was my call. I decided to give myself a sleep.

After a knap, but that too a disturbed one (subconsciously), I got up and decided (just decided) to study something related to my field. At least this would keep me occupied. Started off very well, covering few topics in no time. It seemed as if I was enjoying it. Few hours passed and suddenly my mind as usual involved in a tornado of ever-existing and ever-haunting thoughts distracted me and there you go, even the topics related to my field also seemed to disinterest me. This was what I call as height, simply height. But I could not blame anybody except my day that had been the same since morning. Wished this day was over soon. So went to market, did some household related shopping, seemingly disinterested in almost everything that passed by me, living or non-living, even the brand new black-colored sexy looking bike recently launched in market, standing in my neighbor didn’t seem to catch my attention as I rushed through my shopping. Came home, had some 2-3 bites in my dinner, cleaned up my room (in a unhappy mood), cleared kitchen, watched some songs & went off to sleep. “Voww….”, finally the day did end for me. But even the night sleep was a burden. Damn it, felt hungry but nothing in the kitchen. Had to contend with my daylong proceedings and went off air. The next day I woke up and I woke up with a very awkward feeling. Was it that I was dreaming or was it that I actually had such a kind of day. Had no clues to it and I seriously mean it, I had no clues whether it was my previous day or was it my last night dream????
