GURU..

-

 

A tough one …we’ve got so many of them out there…life me ye guru rakhe ….ya vo guru…..nai ?

Well….some of them are really there ….and some of them are there but ….really ?

Yes….a guru….prepare for a inner journey…where we find  piece of mind , devoid of fear ….yes …the presence of this being is the one we seek….Ladies and Gentlemen ….A guru…...!

Let’s not seek a guru…let’s just seek a solution for our lives and then…..a guru will happen !...right ?


There’s this person …..someone special…who comes along our way…our journey…and then we begin to dispel darkness…Then we know that darkness is just an absence of light !....you switch the light on and there goes the dark…!

We already have what we’ve been looking for and it’s really not that  complicated ! We need to give ourselves some space …to sit in the silence and feel our way ….from all the bullshits and just hear what our soul is trying to say ….right ?


I don’t think we need a better stuff , a better weather , a big budget , or a great body , or to be any different from who we already are ….to be our own guru..!

I am not saying we don’t need a Guru… it actually depends on whom we call a Guru….any form for that matter will do …you know …!


Education , experiences in life , even the pushups you do daily , the workout sessions at the gym …..yes they all teach us ….teach us how to perform and deliver…..and they might be well called……our Guru…!

You know those little moments in life ..?  The little things in life….Well….let me tell you…they aren’t little…. All we need to is just pay attention to these little ones…and then , they are just enormous …..Life’s gurus….!

And …wherever you go….they are just there !!


I’m sure to take some time out here….you know…? I am not a guru…and to write what I am not , takes a hell lot of time and energy..

I’ve been looking at people …looking upto people ….and try to understand their perceptions towards the world…life that is …!


There are lovers and then there are people with indifference ….No , I don’t call them haters….they are not…they are just people with some indifference …

This article popped up on the  auspicious “ Day of the Gurus “…..But it took some while for me to write…I just couldn’t figure out the language …you see. ?


My wife has some amazing culinary skills…people who know her can vouch for this…I’ve tried my hand and left it incomplete…Guess…I was just not prepared for that confidence …..


Then I knew what it takes to become a Guru….You need that confidence…and confidence does not come out of thin air….you have to pay attention to minute details …..and build that confidence ….! This is just a small example that I sought from my home….

Our experiences of our lives does not depend on what is around us …really ….but only what we are !


“ Just Breathe . You are strong enough to handle your challenges , wise enough to find solutions to your problems and capable enough to do whatever needs to be done “

"The Writer's Block"

-
  A   friend recently took me aside and made a point. He was not worried about how I would react. I was nervous too. Of what he would say to me.. Then he made a point …… He asked me to continue writing . He asked me why I had stopped publishing what I used to do before. People out there are looking forward to what I write….Now he wanted me to get going and write… This has prompted me to write and publish again what I lost and missed…. To hell with the ‘Writer’s Block’. When I listened to him that day, I understood that Writer’s Block was not the problem.. The problem laid in ‘not writing anything at all’ ! What I understand is that the only people who think writing is easy are those people who don’t write at all !   No ? The ‘writers block ‘ is not the problem here. It is the fear of not writing well. I am not here for an award or an accolade, I am here because I write and somehow I stopped in between. My audiences here today, may seem a little surprised……but that’s...

The Heart story

-
  Everybody knows now ….. today , it’s an old story..!.. But concerned people still ask me how I feel and how I am faring with my health …….. I’ve been deliberately taking some time   out here…..you know ?.....giving me some space….. giving myself , that much needed ‘ME ‘ time…. I exercised right ….I ate right ….no cheating foods in between hours….my colleagues at office can vouch for me….no oil , no much sweet , no much sour or hot things…. Then why did I get that stroke , when I got one ? You know , I’ve read it somewhere …… that having an Heart Attack is like a surprise party… where , except for presents , you get an ambulance ride ….! Hahahahaha.. I guess , my heart couldn’t handle all the excitement in my life ….ummmm….too many of them ……It was time to switch to a boring routine……..! It had me boggled over and over again…..Why me ? Why ….after all these years ……….I smoked ….all right ! But then last time I checked ( you know where )   …..….my lungs were clear a...

Other Words !

  After some good days ….more news from the planet ! The red hot Sun is turning into dark red and thus spoiling the get-togethers we usually have from 10:00 Am to 7:00 PM……no ? Is it out of context ?…..Yeah….I know ….this is not me……how do I convert myself from a boring article writer to what’s happening at the core of our planet ?    Not me ! Boring ….yeah….getting older , day by day ..ummm….actually I don’t mind getting older ….you know !...but my body is taking it badly….hahahahahaha….! You feel like your warranty has expired and the parts are beginning to wear out ! I was reading a story on Jesse Owens and how he defeated the German athlete Luz Long at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. Hitler was mad at Long , but he bowed down to Jesse and congratulated him in full view of the crowd. Luz Long and Jesse became best friends and when WW2 started , Long wrote a letter to Jesse from the war front. He wrote “ ( paraphrased by me ) I want to meet my wife. I have not seen my...
