What The Hell...

Life is hell, for most.
And, they are the people who invented heaven.
Heaven is just their figment, to probably pacify themselves with the possibility of something better, eventually.
But, there is nothing better afterward.
It’s all the same.
The afterlife will be another journey through thick and thin; and that’s reality.
If there is something good, it’s right here, hiding for you to discover and realize it.
This is hell, our existence.
Heaven is a concept bought by most of us, and alike all the others that carry us away, an exaggerated one.
I’d rather believe in one-life – one-chance.
This is the good and bad, both. And, why is hell a big fear?
Why don’t we understand one thing – there can’t be heaven until there is hell.
So, live through hell, accepting it, and you’ll probably find heaven, before you die i.e.
Everyone’s heaven is discrete.
Mine is helping as many people as I can.
Yours could be something else.
But it’s all here.
Don’t live like you’re going to die some day and a friendly spirit will deliver you to heaven.
Don’t wait for your heaven.
Make your own heaven right here, right now; in this very life.

STRANGE CONNECTIONS

Unknown places; unknown faces,
and a strange connection…
with people who seem so lost; people who are subjects of profound thought.

I depart naturally, in body, but not mind;
I wander, in hope that I did leave behind,
a deep impression that I am what they are,
though I walk past them and remain far.

There is but little, a relation that binds us all,
something common that demolishes that wall,
which, till now, kept us from seeing…
that on the other side is an equal being.

Eye meets the eye, and the hearts meet too,
in moments of trust, filled with hue…
I stand by them and they stand by me,
in undecided moments that need no plea.

Places change, and so do faces, everyday;
no foreword, no dialogue and no dismay…
We are connected because we are the same,
And there lies nothing in their origin, or their name.

Middle of Nowhere

Doing a little bit of too many things I love doing.
Sometimes, i think about focussing on something I really want to do, but I realize that there are too many such things and I have not been able to prioritize yet.
my folks expect me to have a scheduled life, a stable life, which would have no ups and no downs.
I wake up, slide open my window and stare at the rising sun everyday. what comes to my mind is... the most powerful thing, the sun, has a schedule too. the question is, what role do i play in this world? what's am i supposed to do with this human body, which drives my soul towards aspirations like money, materialistic pleasures and development at the cost of nature.
i don't wanna give up, turn my back and walk out of this system. I am not a coward. and, i don't want to spend the rest of my life just observing things. i want to start doing something that i could do all my life. i want to discover, want to write, want to create my own environment and make my life a little more worth living.
most of us are not aware of the future and we can never be when are so lost in the present.
but that's what it's all about. living the present, not anticipating the future, but preparing for it.
I don't understand words like 'career' and 'goal'.
i don't understand why anyone would not travel and understand the universe the way it is supposed to be.
I don't understand, because i've not seen enough yet, not thought enough and not questioned enough.
I am in the middle of nowhere.

Delicate Silence

Delicate is the silence that keeps away from noise.
Like dark corners that stay away from sunrays.
The delicate silence that hears no sound, but its own.
The silence that does not drift past, but stays.
The silence that does not speak up, but still says…
The quietest of moments are the noisiest,
but keep the promise that objects make to surroundings.
Delicate it is, the silence, and breaks not due to sound,
but due to its aim to isolate itself.

Leader

I believe everyone is a born leader. However, it is the excuse of circumstances that we use to kill that instinct. It is to keep walking with a smile, in the bliss of optimism, and knowing that the change you want to bring begins in you. A lot of people fail to realize that, and blame the lack of resources instead of cherishing the existence of determination.
The interest fades out before the ideology, and this creates a depression in the belt of generations, which look down upon themselves more than looking up to someone.

Leadership is to know what you’re doing and why, to know that every step towards achievement is achievement in itself, to know that you don’t need followers, but people who walk along, to know that the only time you’d look back is when you’d want to see where you started from. That’s a leader. That’s a person who can be a ray of hope in this state of darkness that overshadows motivation, and eventually, the nation.

Madonna - My priced dispossession...

she helped me move around the town

she helped me meet my friends

she helped me discover new places

she helped me see new faces

she helped me go fast

she helped me go slow

she helped me win a race

not by god's, but her grace

she helped me see the valley

she helped me burn the road

she helped me cover the distance

she helped me carry some load

she helped me make a statement

she helped me move at night

she helped me feel I' am safe

even with weak eyesight

she helped me escape at times

she helped me be on time

she helped me take her out

she trusted me without doubt

she helped me be the cool boy

she helped me go to work

she helped me look like a hero

though I' am a jerk

she helped me know the city

she helped me make a path

she let me kiss her head

and give her a nice bath

she helped me clear my debts

she helped me calm the storm

she helped me keep a promise

she remained nice and warm

Youth, you there?

This is an appeal to the youth of our nation, from someone who’s one of you. I, alike you people, watched the state of our capital state, last night on the television. It sent a chill across my nerves. I’ am not scared, but I am scared that I may never feel safe enough to send my loved ones out starting from tomorrow. What has happened to our nation? Are we not united enough to be able to tackle this? Are we not following strict measures of safety? Are we not careful about things? Just imagine how many times we would have come across these terrorists on the streets, but how would we know? It’s not written in their face. So, how do we fight this? How do we make sure that the coming generation will get to see a peaceful tomorrow? We have to play a role in ensuring the safety of our country. Just sitting down and blaming the government won’t help. This problem has to be tackled with mutual understanding in between the citizens and the system. I’ am not asking anybody to dedicate their lives to fighting terror. Do what you are doing, but just be a little careful. Let’s together take up the responsibility of contributing to the safety of our country, which right now seems to be in its most vulnerable situation. How will we ever be able to sleep at nights if we don’t realize the importance of waking up? And, what better time than now? I always that think India is a country with the maximum population of young people. And, these people who spread terror in the country need to be shown how weak they are in front of our unison.

Presence of Mind:

Be attentive friends. Keep your eyes and earns open to any susceptible act by anybody. These terrorists sit, walk and live amongst us. All they take advantage of is our ignorant and care-a-damn attitude. Let’s change. It’s about the country now. The safety of our loved ones should not be the only concern. Make sure that you follow suspects smartly, and try to discover if something is shady. Try and listen to their phone conversations, in case they are talking on the phone. Be smart and make sure you don’t ignore such things. If you discover something suspicious about them, and you’re not in a position to react, inform the police. It’s your right to question anybody if that’s what has to be done to ensure the nation’s safety. However, please make sure that you don’t harm anybody innocent. Please be sure before indulging in an activity. This is as important as your personal business. Here, it’s public business. If by being attentive, you can save lives, then what’s the harm?

Spot the Danger:

If you spot a bag, a packet, or any other kind of belonging anywhere, please inform the police, or the nearest public service authority. In past, there have been incidents where the terrorists have easily placed bombs in crowded areas, and we don’t pay enough attention to notice that they’re leaving something behind. If you see people leaving their belongings behind, please make sure you stop them and ask them for a reason. If it is not convincing enough, please don’t let them go away. I believe that a lot of people would come across situations where they would be suspected by others, but please try and understand that it is for our own safety. Please make sure that you don’t let anybody come close to a suspicious object lying in a public place. And, please don’t create chaos by making noise. If the suspect is still around, this would give him/her an opportunity to move out of there. Please keep your cool and take the concern to the right people. There is nothing to be embarrassed. There is nothing to feel shy. It’s time we come forward and do our duties as responsible Indian citizens. Be it on trains, on buses, in the auto rickshaws, or on the streets. Let’s spot the danger before it bursts out and hurts our fellow citizens.


Kindly co-operate:

In the past few days, I have seen several incidents where youngsters refuse to co-operate with the security system in public places. Some of us don’t allow the officials to perform their duties. It’s not good to be rebellious everywhere. Not at the cost of your life, or may be others’. If officials ask you to show your belongings, and ask you to go through a security check, please co-operate with them. If you don’t and try to break laws, you never know that the criminal would take advantage of the situation to barge into the place along with you. As I said, they are around us. There is nothing to prove here. Be patient and let the officials do their job. If something happens, they would be blamed and not you. So, please be kind and understand their obligations.



Be Humanistic:

If, after all this, something still happens, please don’t run away from the situation. We should try and help our brothers and sisters who fall victims to the unexpected situation. If bringing a difference in between us, breaking us as a common and understanding society, and making us kill each other are the purpose of these terrorists, let’s together fail it. Let’s come up strongly against their weak act for their own sadistic pleasures. Let’s help, and come forward and help the investigation too. If there is something we have witnessed at the crime scene, a clue, or any kind of suspicious behavior, let’s inform the authorities. You never know that by sharing a small piece of information, you may help the police track down the big group of these brain-washed criminals, who, in the name of God kill innocent people. Let’s be one, and let’s not be so terrorized that we lose the ability to fight it back. I believe we can. Just a little bit of being responsible and careful, and we are there. In the new light of freedom, where we would not be scared to walk the streets and we would not have to see our country dying everyday in the hands of our ignorant selves. Let’s face it, fight it and kill it: the terror.

“Freedom is the ability to sustain it.”
