The Dead Soul!

Was a sunday evening, going to the neardy supermarket as usual to get stuffs for the week. Not far away I saw an elderly woman in her late 70s trying to cross the ever busy road of Krishna Nagar. Asking passersby to help her cross the road, no one to pay any attention to her; saw quite a number of people passing her but took no notice of her. She looked at me, used her hand as an indication to help her cross, I understood what she was trying to say having seen her doing that all the while I was walking towards her.

Took her hand, crossed her the other side, she thanked me and I went on my way...

Was all the people before me really human or is it that their souls are all dead that they not cared the call of the old lady. People are too busy with what is happening in their lives than to worry about what is happening around them.. I wonder had it been a much younger person in her place would they have ignored that person.

The Fools' Day-the fun day!!

Originated in France way back in the 16th century, supposed to have been the First Day of the year till then. Charles IX introduced the Gregorian Calendar and with it January 1 became the First Day of the year. With no means of Transport and Communication in those days, many people did not know of the new Calendar for many years and continued to celebrate new year on April 1; these people/folks were labeled the 'Fools'...
Over the years people started playing pranks and practical jokes on others and this has continued till today, all in good spirit....

The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year. -- Mark Twain

Never give up!!

Having this belief in myself that what I believe; is what I love; is one thing that has driven me for so long...
Never having to give up what I love; never keeping myself away from reality; keeping my feet firmly footed on the ground; knowing my limits as a human; something that I need to remind myself of what I am....

Never giving up love because love brings so much of happiness; the pain is definitely a part of it that makes love a sweet thing to experience...

Poignancy!!

There are things in my mind, things that I share with no one, things that I let nobody know...
Things which are better left as they are, sometimes trying too hard to get what we want from life proves futile and we end up feeling lost not to mention lonely..

I have lived long enough to be able to decide what is good and what is bad, I may not always be correct- it's human to make mistakes and again it's human to forgive! huh..talking about forgiveness-I made mistakes, yes I did, and I am doing my part to get forgiveness from everyone I have hurt.. There hasn't been any other moment, nothing I can recall off, where I did things I would regret later...

I put so much of myself in everything that I do, expect something similar if not on the same scale from the other people involved.. But this is not always done!

People say love happens anywhere, anytime... I say love happens only once and the rest is a compromise; a compromise that we live with; try to be happy with...

In life, there comes a point where nothing seems to be going right; have learned not to fret, for I know God has saved the best for me.

What a week!!!

Need a break,, been a crazy week this one... feel like going away somewhere alone with no means of commnication/entertainment around - no phones, no internet, no television.. would anyone miss me, I doubt!
Seriously! I do not think anyone would ever care to find out if I was alive STILL... That's a problem, isn't it???

If in life a stage comes when noone cares your existence, what's the point of living such a life? A question I often ask myself and found no answer... I wish I could see tomorrow then there would be no worries or will that bring more worries??

But why am I worried about what's going to happen tommorrow when I have got my today to worry about?? Things which are not under my control are better left to itself, why worry...

FIGHT, FIGHT and FIGHT till you get what you are running for and never give up!

Got to do some thinking over the weekend!!!

JAI HO!!

The song that brought laurel to the Country on a World Stage....got two Oscars to show that!!!

The essence of the song is such that the National Congress Party is running to get it's right.. Hmmm...
They say the song depicts the spirit of the nation.. hmmm some song ha???
We have such a long FILM history and numerous songs that have touched our hearts or perhaps songs that depicts the spirit of the youth or the nation... But it took Gulzar who put in all his experience into this song, the geniuses of AR Rahman and the hands of a Westerner to actually awaken the sleeping souls and minds of our so called politicians... hmmm JAI HO!!!

Thank you Danny, if not for you these politicians would have not known what the spirit of this Nation is.. that's another JAI HO to you!!!

Paradise Lost???

Often I dreamed a dream of a world filled with Love.. Often I saw my dreams shattered to pieces...Being born in this world I will dream and no one can take this away from me...

Some say it's Fortune/Faith that decides what we get or what we lose.. but what would you say to those who have been always "FORTUNATE" not to get what they ever wanted from life... I'd say they have been cursed...

But not all is lost, there will be greener meadows somewhere, at some stage.. Never giving up should be the way, should never heed, if we lose a thing we consider important today, there will a tomorrow when we may get something that would add more value in our life... And that day will be the day when the Paradise that we have dreamed of will meet it's light...
