The Wish & The Battle Inside

I've been down before but this time it was like surrendering. Some parallel events placed me in dirt zone. I was all in for the sin. Righteousness was getting me nowhere, I was criticized and demoralized. At work, my efforts seemed to be going down the drain yet again and the same old story of crooks being rewarded was about to be repeated. I fought, decided to quit and let the work suffer. At home, my family was cheated in business and I was ready to retaliate. But He... I have Him in many forms, I find him in my friend and I find Him in my love. My friend is agnostic and my love is believer. He never let's me down and I don't know how it works, but His magic works for me. I do things and He corrects them for me. When I lose hope, He inspires me.  I just fight and He shields me. When I am alone, He accompanies me. He’d be the one who’s by my side before the night is over and He'd be the one who'll hold me back before I let my soul die...

Somehow when I went for this New Year's celebration I had this feeling that this is probably the last time when I can go crazy and that is exactly what I did... I had Fun Unlimited!!! That time is not gonna come back and I will never complain about it, there is nothing that I wanna change about that time. Everything was picture perfect, from the beginning to the end. Without getting into the details of the trip and the celebration, I'll come down to the purpose of penning this blog. There is always this one person somewhere, who makes you feel that "world is still very beautiful and life is worth living". I think that I have big challenges but I am not the only one, there are those whose challenges are bigger than mine, whose lives are tougher than mine; and no they have not accepted defeat, they are strugglers. Till you'll live, the struggle will be there. The only thing that you have to figure out is how to keep smiling in tough times, eventuall...

gam ki khoobsurti ko kya samjhega ye zamana, muskaan ka dard kaha hai isne pehchana..

"Welcome to the world of the girl child, where promise meets despair and hope is overshadowed by gloom. The woman, who rocks the cradle and shapes the destiny of civilization, is tragically one of humanity's gravest concerns today. With numerous summits, conferences, and events being held to address the issue, even the world's top leaders are involved in the cause. Indian traditions and rituals define the existence of the girl child. Despite clamors for gender equality and law enforcement, female infants are still found abandoned in trash, while unborn fetuses are relentlessly eliminated in the womb. Our society, steeped in discrimination and bound by rituals, has dealt a cruel hand to the girl child, from the moment of conception until the darkness of life." I won't reiterate what we read in newspapers, nor will I provide reasons for why we should save the girl child. The problem is that people hear but don't listen, read but don't understand. I pose thes...

लोग कहते की डर के आगे जीत होती है लेकिन कितने आगे है ये कोई नहीं बताता लोग कहते है की अन्याय का अंत होता है लेकिन कब होता है कोई नहीं बताता लोग कहते है की अच्छाई की जीत होती है लेकिन कब होती है कोई नहीं बताता कभी सुबह कभी शाम होती है, कभी दिन कभी रात होती है, हवाएं रुख बदल लेती है, मौसम भी जल्द बदल जाते है, लेकिन जो बात लोग कहते है वो नहीं होती... लोग कहते की डर के आगे जीत होती है लोग कहते है की अन्याय का अंत होता है लोग कहते है की अच्छाई की जीत होती है

बाहर जगमगाहट, भीतर घना तम, त्यौहार की धूम में, मन को चुभ रहा एक गम I फटाको की गूँज तो कही तबाही का मातम, त्यौहार की धूम में, मन को चुभ रहा एक गम I घर से निकला मैं लेने त्यौहार का साजो सामान, देखा सड़क पर बैठी  थी  एक नन्ही सी जान, बेच रही थी वो फूलों की माला और रंगोली के रंग, एहसास हुआ मुझे कितना तंग था उसका जीवन, त्यौहार की धूम में, मन को चुभ रहा एक गम, बाहर जगमगाहट, भीतर घना तम I

As I was reading some old paper cuttings I got a few quotable quotes from them and I couldn't resist sharing them. I added one of my writeup too ;) The picture below also from a newspaper... observe it carefully, it's hope.. If you do not hope, you'll not find what is beyond your hopes. The best way out is always through.   That you really believe in always happens. And the belief in a thing makes it happen. ~Frank Lloyd Wright The fearless are merely fearless. People who act in spite of their fear are truly brave. ~James Lewis There is nothing like a dream to create a future. ~Victor Hugo To create, sometimes you must rebel. ~Isabelle Duschenay I try to keep it simple, so if complications hit me. They'll die. The self is not something that one finds. It is something that one creates. ~Thomas Szasz Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but be fearless in facing them. ~Tagore The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by...
