Misery


I am lost in the labyrinth of sorrow,
Desires are wrecked and hopes have died in vain.....

I have directions, some of my own
Some shown by others
But every boulevard leads to insanity....

Jee Le

Ye zindagi hai thodi si, par raah nahi hai aasaan..
Kabhi hai khushiyon ki barsaat, to kabhi hai dard ke toofaan…

Thodi si khushiyaan de de,
aur le le thode se gam,
Par dil jaise chahe waise jee le,
Kabhi thoda zyada to kabhi thoda kam…

Dukh mein bhi hasne ke liye,
Bana le kuch dost..
Aur zindagi mein pyaar bhar ne ke liye
Chun le ek jeevansaathi…

Phoolon ki khushboo ko mehsoos kar le,
Chalti hui hawaon ko thoda sa choo le…
Aur khule aasmaan mein, apne armaano ko
Panchiyon ki tarah zara sa khula bhi chod de….

Bhar le aankhon mein kuch sapne…
Aur bana le unko raahi apne …
Unhe toot ke bikhar te hue bhi dekh le
Aur unhe poora hone ki aankhon mein khushi bhi dekh le..

Thodi si khushiyaan de de,
Aur le le thode se gam,
Par dil jaise chahe waise jee le,
Kabhi thoda zyada to kabhi thoda kam…

Ye zindagi hai thodi si, par raah nahi hai aasaan..
Kabhi hai khushiyon ki barsaat, to kabhi hai dard ke toofaan…

Life and Death

Of late I have been hearing a lot about “life and death”. Two weeks ago while I was leaving for office, a Christian couple; quite old, around 60 -65 yrs of age; came to our house. They were actually going to everybody’s house and distributing pamphlets which contained a few things like “Do I believe in GOD?” “Salvation” “Does GOD help you when you in trouble?” “Re-birth” “What after death” etc. So it was all about life and death. They asked me a few questions. I could answer about life but had no idea about death. I told her that about death the only thing I know is that when people die, we lose them forever.

In Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood was asked about life and death where it is shown that he knew more about death than life. A friend of mine asked me if I have ever felt in my life; maybe for a moment; that I ll die. Another friend told that he had experienced once how it feels when you die. You see, a lot of discussions.

You earn a lot all your life; money, fame, name, respect, love; but when it comes to death, nothing helps. They say when you die you take nothing with you. Yes; you die lonely. For some your death will be a loss of life, for some just the loss of your name and some will not even know that u existed. May be if u create some history, many will remember you. But still there will be a few who would not even know your name. Like the maid at my house in Baroda doesn’t know who Sardar Patel was.

Some say life do exists after death, some say a new journey begins at death, some talk about “Moksha”, some about re-birth. With all due respect to everybody’s views, I say I believe in just one thing “U live just one life”. May be because I haven’t experienced anything like “death” or “after death” and if at all I ve experienced I don’t remember J
So I believe in just one thing- this is my only life.

I can’t say how much life everybody has, but we should make the most of the time we have. Doing good to many and some bad to may be a very few ;). Enjoying every moment to the fullest. Loving the loved ones as much as we can.

Hmm.. actually I don’t know why I wrote about “life and death”. May be I gave it a thought because of the discussions around me. And as such, I have nothing to convey. Just a realization –
“There is a more important thing than ‘life and death’. And that thing is living”

dedicating to my lovely family...

I am dedicating a small poem to you..
Missing you all very very much..



I have known what trust is
I have known what faith is
I have known what strength is
I have known what GOD is
Since I have known you

I have known the importance of honesty
I have known the meaning of confidence

Since I have learnt to work hard from you...




I have known what friendship is
I have known what fun is
I have known what celebration means
I have known the core of festivals
Since we have been together….



I have known what sharing is
I have known what caring is
I can’t describe how much I have enjoyed
When I have been there with you…



I have known what blessing is
I have know what it is to be in this world

Since I have being loved by you



I have known what family is
Since I have had ours..
I know how it feels missing you
And I have no words to tell how Proud I am
By being a part of your lives…


Lots of Love..

a testimonial


I know my dearest life;
That I have to fight you,
For every small and big thing
That I desire…

I know my dearest life;
That you will try to smother me,
You will try to hit me,
And with all the criticisms you have
You will try to break me….

But I promise you my dearest life,
That every time I fall;
I will stand up with more determination,
I will come back with more aggression,
And I will fight back with more passion ….

Oh! you people !!!
Let me have my struggle..
I am ready to take some trouble,
And am ready to take some blame,
Though, I will not lament…

But this fight will go on
Till I WIN..

lucky draw

What if GOD declares a lucky draw for tomorrow
And decides to shower all his blessings on someone
Keep your fingers crossed and your hopes high,
As that lucky one; might be you

What if tomorrow you wake up
All your worries are gone…
And the first ray of the sun,
fills your heart with happiness and fun…

What if tomorrow you wake up
You have no work to do..
All that you aspire is yours
And all that you dream for turns into reality…

What if tomorrow you wake up
All your near and dear ones are around you
All your foes turn into friends
And the love finds its way..

What if tomorrow you wake up
And you know that; that lucky one is not you
Don’t lose spirits
Don’t get depressed

You have a very less life to live
Do not grumble and not cry..
Take the power and decide on
How you want to live your life…

“Remember; every moment once gone, will never come again...
Enjoy life to the maximum..”

life sometimes

Seems like life is a puzzle
And I am confused -
Every time I try to find the solution
And the problem gets changed....

Sometimes I feel, the horizon is blurred
And when I open my eyes, no one is around
At other times I feel, the life has open it's arms
And I have many; hands to hold….

I keep running; And with each passing day,
run with a greater speed; with the hope of reaching the line..
But when I seem, close to the line
I see it goes missing....

I hope someday, I would reach the line
And someday I would, uncover the solution
But if the problem does not change

How would I call it a LIFE?
This is how life is - now and again...

The Matrix

some dialogues from the movie

my favourite ones

"Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real. What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"

"You have to let it all go. Fear, doubt and disbelief. Free you mind"

other gud ones

"How do you define real?"

"Human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world (where no one suffered and all would be happy) was a dream."

"I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me he told me that I wansn't looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us."

"Don't think you are. Know you are"

"Stop trying to hit me. And hit me"

"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path"

Some Important Learnings

It’s rightly said that life is the best teacher. It teaches you many things. I wanna jot down a few points that I think have been most imp learning for me and which I ll never want to forget. I will keep updating the list as and when I learn something imp.

(1) Distances may not make your hearts apart, but you definitely lose touch with your friends. It becomes really difficult to keep in touch thru phones when you are in different cities, especially countries. You might not intentionally wanna lose touch; but it happens. And it’s obvious.
So, next time when your friend; who has not been in touch for months together or may be years together; calls you up or emails you, do not blame them for losing touch. Rather, thank them for remembering you.

(2) Emotions like –
Solitude and Love
Shun and Care
Misery and Happiness
Tears and Joy
Loss and Gain
Anger and Serenity
Insecurity and Passion
Envy and Possession
Despair and Hope
Obligation and Freedom
go hand in hand. One emotion is in-complete without the other and without the first ones; you will never understand the importance of second ones.

(3) GOD always wants you to meet a few wrong people in your life, so that you can cherish the ones you have and can understand the importance of right people. Hence, if somebody hurts you or cheats you; be assured that the person was not the right person and remeber the lesson that you learned from them.
It might also happen that you are in a relationship and it did not turn out to be the way you wanted. Understand that it was never meant to be that way. And you are yet to meet the right MAN/WOMAN of your life.

(4) There is not a single person in this world that doesn’t have any problem. It’s up to you how you behave in the conditions of distraught. You cannot avoid your problems. The sooner you accept them the quicker you will be out of them. All days pass by. Hence, you have to have the faith that the days of problems will also pass by soon.
