A nation's dillemma

It was a fresh morning until I tried to put a glance over today's news paper. A big logo of news paper, some breaking news, some short passages, two- three big advertisements and there it was a sensational news.

Well, they create sensational news on a daily basis, if they won't then I am sure the sale of their stories and the sweet potatoes will be decreased. 

The news was about a small city where two peaceful groups were silently throwing bricks and blades over each other. Roaring slogans of love and preaching the knowledge to cut the throats in one touch. 

Colors of cloths were different, the torch bearers were different but the anger, rage, violence in the eyes, the blood, the sword and hatred were same. Both side were rummaging the houses of each other and wanted to end the era of the families. 

I did not read too much. I had to do meditation and yoga. I was surprised with the thoughts that, will I be able to mediate after reading such news. I was right, I was not able to meditate but I was able to eat, I was able to laugh and discuss trivial matters. 

I was getting late for office so I put my laptop bag on my shoulder and left the apartment. Like always I was not able to reach the workplace on time and I had to open my ears for extra 15 minutes to listen the lecture of ethics and working culture from a dedicated manager. I hate this moment but habitual of that.

At the afternoon, I was having lunch with my colleagues in our small cafeteria.  Out of the blue, the topic of sensational news was on the plates and one of them were started digging in it. He turned towards me with a spoon filled with dal, chaval and taunted," See, I told you, this country is going into hell, people are fighting with each other and you were forcing us to repeat the songs of "acche din". I smiled but did not get a chance to answer his sarcastic tone.

An another colleague jumped into the battle with a proud smile," These thing should happen so that some people know their exact place". The one who was sitting behind us and listening to us carefully swiftly showed his aggression over the democratic leaders,"All the politicians are making us fool, they are dividing us"

Everyone nodded in acceptance. Suddenly, someone said only 5 minutes are left so we were started abusing our company and management for giving us only 30 minutes to discuss the most important matters and went back to work.

In the evening, when I came back to the apartment, I found that dominating flatmate is already waiting for the vegetables so that our maid can cook the dinner. Fortunately, I have bought some karelas and bhindis, I have purchased some oranges as well. I can say thanks to my sharp memory now.

Another mate was brewing tea in the kitchen, and poured into the blue cups, they look odd to me. While having tea, one of them told me about the incident of that city. I was not shocked at all, I was waiting to listen this again, after all it was a sensational news. I feel guilty for being politically and socially aware about these issues.

I was tired and shared my point of view in a whisper, and looked towards the bag in which vegetables were giggling together, those green ones and those orange ones too. I looked at the window, the orange sun was falling down and the green trees were becoming black. I imagined colors of the cloths of both peaceful communities and opened television for another sensational news...

Absolute focus is a great power:

Swami Vivekanand once said, “Do one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.” We all know that whenever we try to focus one anything all the other less important things start roaming in our mind and we lose our control over what we were trying to complete. 
              There is another significant quote by Alexander Graham Bell, "Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus." We should not focus on the big picture. We just need to take care of few steps and we will cover all the road. But make sure the steps should be consistent. 
               
              We can eliminate our fear of failure with removing the confusion from our mind. If Thomas Edison left his experiments in the middle, we might not get electricity at that time. He tried and tried and never exhausted while doing same things everyday. He knew that he will get success and he will produce light in the bulb. When we make clear choices, it impacts our mind and works accordingly. If we focus on two things at the same time, our mind wastes energy on two different things and get exhausted early.

It All Depends On Mindset (IADOM)

Confusion is a Trap!!

I know this must be crazy to wake up in the middle of the night and open your laptop to write your weirdest ideas. Well, it is not as I believe all the great inventions were came into reality in the most awkward and unusual moments. 

You can either pick Sir Newton or Mr. Faraday both of them made greatest discoveries when they were not least aware about it. Benzene molecule came into existence when a scientist was dreaming about a snake. We can call it creativity of our mind. It works while sleeping and it works under any other circumstances as well. 

But, it doesn't mean that all of the inventions and discoveries were came into existence out of the blue. Men poured themselves into their dreams, goals and ambitions to make them real. They may confused in the beginning but once they made their desires clear they did not quit. This is what we have to do to achieve great success. 

When we take our first step either as a baby or as a grown man we always get confused and afraid of falling down, failing in the middle. This situation creates a negative mindset which lasts for very long or almost forever. I have a friend who tried to ride a motorbike many times, he learned it for many days. But, whenever he tried, he was confused with the gears and clutches. Fear of speed gripped in his mind and small accidents were forced him to quit. He was too frightened to ride the bike in crowded place as he always thought that he might hit someone. 

I can not make a judgment on his situation but it is true that he was confused and was over thinking all the incidents. He was not able to focus on the road and did not make balance while riding. We face similar situations on a daily basis. We usually stuck between what to do or what not do.   

There will be many things on your priority list but most of them will not be most important. We should always aware about what we choose. We can not travel two different roads on a same time. To be continued.. 

Her smile:

My heart crumbles with beautiful chaos,
when I see alluring smile spilling on your face.
This is the only gift, I deserve everyday.

Distance:

We only separated by the distance,
but in our mind,
We always
lingered and stand by together,
And, this way we enjoyed the loveliest
moments of our small story,
I really wonder,
how easy it is for me to love you like this,
Because your body may rests on the opposite side of the globe,
 But your soul belongs to me and I am madly in love with it.

(smile)

She believes in me.

Make your dream come true!

The things we always want to do are the things,
we usually never do.

Beauty:

Beauty is a myth,
hides inside the eyes of
a lover,
Who enjoys the flames of
agony and burn his soul every moment,
in the wait of a reply,
from his beloved,
which never comes.

You are winner:

Dreams:

Don't make your graveyard the most
 richest place in the world.
Don't die with the great ideas and dreams.
Work hard and nourish them.
You can be dead working on your dream but don't let your dream die. 

Success:

A transformation:

I write for my own existence, I write for being nerd,
I write for nothing and at the same time, I write for everything.
I can't control my words,
Just like I can't control this world,
I freak out and puff a cigarette,
I hold the pen and think about the puff,
and half finished cigarette.
I feel the heat and smoke at the same time.
Do you feel the same?
Don't you burn yourself every day?
Either for someone far away or someone in front of you.
Don't you die everyday to meet the deadlines?
Don't you plan everyday that I will be better tomorrow?
If not then I will never trust you.
Don't hide your emotions in the jar of glass,
everyone can see what is inside it.
Just put your feet outside the door and
let go your fears,
Just go ahead and kiss the success,
just like you kiss the wine bottle,
and drink it not just through your lips,
let it satisfy your soul. 

Her eyes:

I looked at her eyes,
small, vivid, full of happiness.
They are bright but perfectly mysterious.
Many lost their heart just with the blink of them.
But none of them was ever noticed the silence,
behind this joy, behind every sparkle and behind every giggle,
I looked deep inside her eyes,
and gasped with the truth,
I saw the hope to fly away,
to break every boundary,
to roam freely,
and a desire to feel "complete".

Dreams:

"We are working hard to fulfill others dream and we FORGOT that we had a Dream too."

Be You.

Life, sours it's taste, When it has to live alone.
And, mostly what we do?
We detach, isolate ourselves
from the sound we hear and,
we close all the doors which
we can. And, then we try
to mingle with the same unheard,
suppressed but clear
and so true voice, which
just says, "Be You".

Her love:

And, do you know?
Life becomes easy when you
wrap me in your arms,
and comforts me with the warmest hug,
and, when you slide your  hair,
from your eyes to enter passionately into my Soul.
I wonder,
how easy to fall
in love with you,
and how difficult will it
be to let you go.
