A Note to Self



A smooth ascent is all we need,
A sorrow-less life to the Almighty, I plead!
Good deeds, we all must do
Yes, without any further ado!!!!

Intentions good, we must keep
To help out people, that we can reach (to)
Doing right, when not being noted
Is the way in the Supreme's eye, we’d be doted

Peace of mind, we crave for
God has always blessed us; 
with way more than we have asked for

I humbly address the Divine,
To give me foresight,
So that I can lead a life that is
Simple, fulfilling and bright!

He helps us throw away these rotten slices
Greed, jealously, avarice and the other vices
The unseen Force enriches our living
Keeps us away from materialistic cravings

Up we go, in the ladder of life
Keeping in mind what’s wrong and right
Uplifting others, with gaiety & might
To the Lord from up above,
wouldn't this be a wonderful sight?

Situational Musing



....

so cheer up, as the God's have sent
challenges and opportunities for you on rent
even if for something, you are hell-bent
only those things happen, that are for you meant


refrain from indulging in anything in the present
that'll make you & your tomorrow repent
analyzing the time till now you've spent
cannot change already the incurred dents


confusion persists at most times
all I'm doing now is whine :-|
the time now is not all that fine
hence sat down, to type a poem that rhymes :P


hopeless as i can get
riding a low tide now, you bet
its not hard as it now seems
life looks like an unfinished dream


having loads to achieve in life
where problems are a rife
its just as if at my neck, pointed a knife
why does success come only after strife?


crucial decisions for me await
how much of me is this gonna take?
body mind & soul, this does consume
all will be good thereafter, i presume

Life - As we know it!


Living life in totality
Is nothing but acceptance
of the magnanimity of life
The tiniest of our actions
that ripple repercussions
The realization of the Self
Belief in the Formless
Enjoying the everyday Chaos
Knowing that it will all eventually settle
Accepting death
Knowing that we make an impact on
every single person we meet
Acceptance of Life of every form
The Evolution of our Mind
The flowering of our thoughts
To Love, To be loved
Overcoming laziness
Liking being busy
Taking a stand in this slippery world
And marking a place for ourselves
In-spite of knowing that nothing is forever
The realization that some people are more fortunate than the others
And that everyone is running a race, one of a kind
Stop judging people
Knowing that bad things don't last, it never does!
Facing hardships head-on
Breaking down; Gearing up again!!
Living life in totality is being grateful
For everything
This Life
This very moment
Being still from within despite all the commotion and the madness
Life is amusing....
Life is amazing...
When we live life in totality
As a spectator of all events
With acceptance
With great courage
We survive, We live, We thrive!!!!

Friend?


The whole world seems to be living with a blurry definition of friendship. Knowing someone for a long time doesn't really make them a friend. There are associations we make in various stages of life. There are acquaintances. Loads of em. People you know, 'just know'! But how well? How deep? And how truly? It's popularly said that people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.... 

Irrespective of the phase of life you are in, the most important thing is keeping that person involved and informed about the important happenings in your life, however busy you get. It's crazy seeing everyone calling everyone a friend these days. I often feel sad about the illusion in which people live in.... 


  • I know my neighbor since 18 years, I can in no way call the lady my friend. 
  • You attend grad school with so many people. How on earth can you call all of them your friends? Does their posting "Happy Birthday!" once in a year on your Facebook wall make them your friend? :-O 

It's not about approving or rejecting people. It's more about the people you really connect with and wanna associate yourself with. Not everyone that comes in your life should be a friend nor will be worthy of being one! One true friend is enough for life... in all probability you'll living in different states...or even worse... different countries.... distance never is a barrier with such close friends..!!! :) 

Everyone is not a friend, neither an enemy, many frenemies though ;) but that one person who becomes a true friend becomes nothing less than family! So quit calling everyone a friend because they really ain't :-P :-P
