Love yourself

"To love oneself is beginning of a life long romance- Oscar Wilde"

Just a heads up- this post might not be an eye opener in just the first of your reads. Just recall it once when you face a situation when you just don't want to get up from a fall.

Writing can be a means of letting out frustration(for me at least!). It sure is a hell lot better than hitting someone hard(even you yourself!). And it's just that mode i'm in right now. At times it feels like the world is against you & you are fighting for making some kind of an impact; you struggle, & then you fail. And you keep on failing. Then why on the earth would you want to keep on trying something you've failed a near cent percent of the time. Even i'm in search for the answer everytime i face such a situation. Mind stops working, adrenaline is running high but there's just no means to channelize it; work rate is going down and u keep on being ignorant. After all "Ignorance is bliss!".

But when i calm down, i do realize what a special species of living organism i am. In fact, i'm one of the most powerful species on earth. I have something the other species don't have. Bacterias, one of the earliest species on earth don't have it, birds don't have it, cockroaches, the only species that is gonna survive a nuclear attack doesn't have it, & even the monkeys, the ones who are the closest to the homo sapiens with regard to characteristics don't have it . I have the ability to think. I can reason. & most importantly i have the ability to communicate my thoughts to this world(see, that's what i'm doing right now!) So, why waste this wonderful life in feeling that you're doomed for failure, nothing can go right for you. Getting a life itself is an achievement.

I AM BLESSED! Those are the words i now believe, and it sure has helped me to see the situations in 2D, if not 3D or more.

Better strive to make life rather than feel miserable about it.

Signing off now.
& remember, Love yourself.

aadie

Lost!

Left stranded in a deep dark black hole!

The more you pull me out, the more i'm pushed in,

I've lost my heart in this swirling wind!

Wind o wind, i command you to stop,

don't hit me hard, don't whirl me round.

I've come this far to be in a paradise of mine,

didn't knew that that paradise was in my own virtual mind!

Virtuosity was adding spices to my life, helping me unbuckle that happy future of mine!

That virtuosity has been killed, my paradise is lost.

Efforts have gone in vain, & my happy future has gone along!

A Very Special Year!

As this year comes to an end i would like to thank all my buddy mates n the whole of the world for making it very special.
But how has it been special??
Well, its been very normal this year, & hence it is special.
As soon as i look back at the proceedings of this year, there's nothing that i can recall to remember this year for an event or two.
India didn't win a World Cup, Saina gained some more stature in the badminton, Sania dropped her mini-skirts & changed it to a lehanga, much to the despair of the communities who always needed something to pass their time by commenting on her skirts, INC consolidated their place at the top by staying united an jumping over BJP's internal feuds, the nature's been a silent spectator here & yes, thankfully, the terrorists have been silent, till this day at least.
Internal politics goes on, some one's pain has been some one's gain!
People are dying because of numerous heavy-word diseases, obesity stays among youth, & youth awareness programmes continue to extract money out the central & respective state government's coffins. But who cares, because this is normal!
Girls are being raped by rich business men's sons, police officers, but who cares, because this is normal & most importantly this is my India.
Yet again, even after endless prayers of all the news correspondents all over the country, there was no 'Prince' this time around for the news channels to spend their hours putting up live commentary n passing their various half hour programmes on their 24-hr channels.
Reality shows continue to attract much of the attention as Ekta Kapoor's downfall continues(sure she'll make a comeback with a hit melodrama soon).
Big Boss has been a topic of argument in college debates rather than the politics, of course this is India, we sell what the market demands.
Vindu Dara Singh's "koi tension nahi hai boss", & "no problem" phrases continue to be a big hit among Punjabi's.
A proposal for increase in reservation of seats in various educational institutes for the 'so called minorities n backward classes' continue to be tapped again n again.
Film industry has a developed a new trend of incorporating gay stories behind the mainstream love-story of a different sexes.
Of course, the extra-marital affairs among same sexes now continue to increase. Gay jokes are more common in the country after 'dostana' tuned into every one's minds.
Censor board of our film industry was out of work this year since the directors themselves have got bored of posing half-naked women in their films.
But we have male film stars showing off their metrosexuals bodies, on the screen & off the screen!
Thank God! Anil Kapoor never goes out with an unbuttoned shirt. Sure, the girls would have fainted!
We also have a new friend of ours discovered this year who has got all the attention, "H1N1".
& yet again, the discovery & its consequences have been blown out of proportion through the media attention.
Of course we welcomed him whole heartedly, after all we truly believe in "atithi devo-bahava". We made him feel at home, by inviting him to our dirty surroundings, by using careless measure to keep ourselves ourselves clean & tidy, after all we want our new friend to have a comfortable stay in our country, don't we??
Anyways, the stay still continues,& even if he diminishes out of this country, the media wont let it go so easily. They are the best in this business!
So, all in all, not a very eventful year, & hence it was very special!
Thank you all!
Wish you a very happy & a "special" new year!

Living in a SELFISH world?

Went to 'Shani Dev ji's' temple today in the morning before commencing our journey to the capital of the nation, New Delhi.
There, i actually observed a rather disturbing, but a very true scenario of people's thinking. Although, its quite common now, but it took my attention for the very first time in my life.

We were just outside the temple when the curtains were rolled down. It meant that the aarti was just about to begin, & as you all must be knowing, it takes time for aarti to finish & then only the curtains will be rolled up. So, with this process in progress, the priest of the temple, there, was performing his daily rituals- standing in front of every sculpture one by one & then said his prayers. One of the sculpture was actually outside the premises. So, he went outside tearing the mass of devotees, which had gathered by then. & that's when my mind opened up & looked beyond what actually was visible. The priest was taking a bit too long outside. Everyone had their faces towards the main sculpture, 180 degrees from the main gate, from where the priest was to enter. So, every time the bell behind, in d last row, was rung, everyone looked back with a glitter of hope that the priest has arrived & the aarti would commence any moment now (since the aarti is always complemented with the ringing of bells), hence they can see their GOD, pray for whatever they had been desiring & leave as soon as possible,since it was taking there precious time out of their extremely busy schedules. But to their dismay, thrice they looked back, & thrice, they were left disappointed with yet another desperate devotee entering the temple & ringing the bell. By the time the priest arrived & rang the bell, a couple of them had left & one more was about to. When he rang the bell, many of them again looked back with hope & you could easily sense their happiness because one of their most important, recent wishes, to their GOD (which surely must have been to send in the priest as soon as possible) was fulfilled. Now i could see a glow in their eyes which was much much greater than what i saw after they had their offerings done to their GOD(s). Everyone was pushing to get first in the line.
Now, the situation i just described which took almost 2K words & 27 mins of writing longed just 4mins. & everyone was just so desperate to try not to waste those 4mins. & why not, since it was for their own selfish interest. They can waste half an hour waking up late, 15mins extra applying soap onto every body part, 10mins extra on eating the regular breakfast, but...but they don't have 5mins for their respective GOD(s), from whom they expect every of their wishes to be fulfilled in any situation they put GOD in.

That's how much selfish this world has made us, or...or, it might just be the other way round- that's how much selfish we've made the world around us today.
So, are we actually living in a selfish world?
A firm YES. A selfish world we ourselves created.

Love: an eternal bond!

Tis just an effort to describe the feeling of love... Everyone knows, it cannot be defined & hence, every effort leading to the same has not been quite a fulfilling one. LOVE is-
* when you feel all the romantic songs have been written keeping you in mind.

* when you can't spare the involvement of your partner in any & every situation you encounter in your life.

* when tears flow out of your eyes thinking of the moments you spent with her in the past, & you think you're crazy, but still, you love it...

* just thinking about the happy & the naughty moments spent with her brings a wide smile on your face...the widest one is still in waiting, & you know that.

* acting like MADS, & walking along in your own dream-world, anywhere, be it your private room or a public Mall...but you don't care being called a MAD, instead, you just love it.

* day dreaming: you just can't stop imagining unimaginable situations with your partner...starting up your own kingdom, having a moonlight dinner on the top of eiffel tower, a walk by the beach at midnight in environment-friendly whites,& lot of other specifications.

* when you feel you know her the best...better than anyone else in this world, besides her parents(but ofcourse you want to beat them too).

* sometimes talking to yourselves, pretending her to be sitting besides you, you start a conversation, & then say her replies too, since you know her the best. In short, a way of keepin yourself busy & romanticizing.

* when meeting her, you fear to look at your watch, or any other source that shows you the time, because you know, a lot of time will pass-by in no time...

* she always makes you get interseted in her talks, be it regarding her footwear, or even the pythagoras theorem. All the time, you just want to look at her & let her do the talking.

* sparing out every free moment to get together...even 20 minutes would do.

* when you just can't control yourself gettin a little jealous of everyman she talks about, even if he is a 3-year old baby. You just don't want to share her with anyone, at any cost.

* she is priceless to you.

* missing your special one whenever you are apart, but somehow feeling warm inside beacuse she is close in your heart.

* you never like to hear sorry from her.

* when you don't want to sleep, because reality is better than a dream!

* love never diverts you, instead it inspires you.

* when you always wanna be awake, just to see her sleep.

* when you are able to see her with closed eyes.

* even with yourself being in the crowd you miss her.

* you find her in your every thought.

* to live for someone, love someone, but sure that someone is ONLY one!

* when you start fearing death!
