Never say Never..... It's Never Too Late for Anything

Travelling and Living has been my favorite TV channel since the day I saw it first. God knows why I landed up doing engineering. My love for wandering forces me to reconcile my thoughts about my lust to travel and eat all kinds of delicacies and most importantly, interact with different varieties of Homo sapiens. People fascinate me to the extent water attracts the thirsty man. The journey is whole-hearted and impulsive. The best feeling comes when I get totally lost as a mighty wanderer of the world. It’s like carrying the globe in my hand and feeling the very presence and essence of it. I am the bird singing freely and flying across the sky and over the sand hills and valleys. Wish the moment lasted forever. I never would want to stop. Had it been legally acceptable, I would go on forever and ever. The pleasure in wandering freely all over the atlas is similar to achieving every single dream of the world I cherished of. The desirable is achievable h...

 Often it has occurred to me that he who has done wrong with me ought to be punished. God must be unfair to him. Happiness should never lie in his vicinity and what not. All the stuff we say or react to is a result of prolonged accumulation of the 5 letter word called ANGER. We say or do anything out of the blue when we are angry and the mind fails to control the heart. This is a serious disease that can affect many others in your vicinity. The kind of pleasure one gets by hurting and letting out verbal abuses when he is angry on someone is just weird and dramatic to me. What’s the end result after all?? All you do is feel bad about it in the long run…..keep thinking about that incident and wish that it never happened in your life. The dreadful feeling called guilt eats up your brain day by day recursively calling your mind and confirming the fact that what you did wasn’t really you. Caught in this guilty-pleasure tug of war, the most liable s...

I would like to share a small poem whose remnants I remember. A friend gifted it to me in a scrap book once on friendships day . Each day is a lifetime in portrait. To awaken each morning is to be born again, to fall asleep at night is to die each day. In between waking and sleeping are the golden hours of the day. What we cannot do for a lifetime we can do for a daytime. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. Anyone can hold his temper for a day and guard the words he speaks. Anyone can carry his burden heroically for one day. Anyone can strive to be happy for a day and to spread happiness around. Anyone can radiate love for a day. Anyone can rise above fear for a day and meet each new situation with courage. Anyone can be kind and thoughtful and considerate for a day. Anyone can endeavor to learn something new each day and mark some growth. The supreme art of living is to strive to liv...

Wake me up from my bed, for I can’t rise up on my own. Make me breathe the morning breeze, for I have lost the sense of feel. Make me relish the delicious dishes, for I have lost the taste of life. Make me walk like the ideal man, run like the four-wheeled van, for I have forgotten the process of locomotion.  Make me realize the truth value of my dreams, for I cannot distinguish it from harsh reality. Make me capable to strive for excellence, for I have lost the reason to fight. I find myself similar to the BROKEN WINGS…..how strong enough to cross the ocean with? ……the BROKEN WINGS…..how far should I go drifting in the wind?? You speak to me, but I can’t hear you…….you try to make me cry, but my tears are dry…….you  try to make me work, but I am comfortably numb. I have fallen apart and my existence is doubtful.   I have stopped responding to stimuli. I am losing control on my mind and body.  I have lost the power to think and...

Once upon a time I had emotions…… I cared for people and loved them. Wanted them to improve their mistakes and be good at heart.  I was the real me….. I am good to people who are good to me…….tough with the tough…… “Aap bhale to jag bhala” as we say in Hindi is somewhat a better version. I am the latter one now. Just like the morning sunshine that brightens up everyone’s life. I am good with the good, better with the worse. Somehow I have now learnt to wear that plastic smile on my face, the thing I should have done in the early years of my life, I would have had much more than what I possess today. A world of friends, ready to be with me.  People hovering around me as if I am their only ray of light. When A says B is bad, I agree. When B says he is good, I agree. It doesn’t really matter if both are good or bad. I know that I have turned bad. The world did not like me the way I was…. sweet, sober, innocent, speaking the truth and to the po...

All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, and the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness – said by Mark Kennedy. There are still long term debates running hot on this aspect of creation (man) vs. super creation (100 x man). Some say in favor of man some say creation of machines was the biggest mistake one could ever imagine and it is a bane for mother earth. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity--- by our very own Albert Einstein. It is still believed that one machine can do the work of 100 ordinary men. But no machine can replace one extraordinary man. In this never ending battle of man vs. machine, no matter who wins, either man will reach stone-age if machines lose, or nature will succumb to the fury of machines as the present day. The answer remains incomplete and unexplained.  I strongly believe machines are the greatest creation of man. Eve...

A moment of tranquility…….. As soon as I typed the heading it took me to a world that is extraordinarily ecstatic.  There’s no satisfaction greater than the feeling of satisfaction itself.  A world that belongs to you and where everything happens just the way you had anticipated. On interviewing a lukewarm (in terms of money) guy once about what he hates the most…believe it or not…. he said HUMANS. As if they were the ultimate foes of his desires, wisdom, capabilities, decisions and what not. Well the list has no last word.  Tell me when did it happen that you got drunk and spoke up to your mom without getting scolded? When was the time you could comfortably get your girlfriend at your place and share some quality time with her? (Yeh India hai meri jaan)……when did it happen that your family approved you of doing a low salary job though you said you were happy? Even at work, people gave the “I can do much better than this…….u don’t deserve it” look when you were apprec...
