  In Random - Few friends decided to meet up after a long time…The rendezvous was under some tree…It was night and lot of trees around… The place was huge and swarming with mortals all around…..We missed a few friends who could not meet up , though ! The point is …the designated tree was not visible , but the important lesson , was the shade , the spirit it gave us and a feeling of a family , many of which were unknown to us , under one gigantic arms of this tree ! We were sitting in the shade , because somebody had that idea to plant a tree and spread wonders…! There was happiness all around !..The sky was closed artificially , but still happiness , was just sitting under that tree and looking at the sky through the leaves ! The comfortable , relaxed and the pleasant surroundings …added the right light in our lives… Friends…..hmmmm….crazy in our own terms ….you know ….We  knew that we were all crazy  here and there , and still chose to be seen with each other in pu...

  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 bi...

  Sometimes , I get bored to write …..…I just don’t want to write …my energies feel drained ….and then there is a lot of struggle to get them back….So I thought of getting it back and how ! Ummmm….I’m not lazy or anything….but ..yeah.!..overflowing with potential energy..! hahahahaha I don’t have to be brilliant nor I need to be a genius……All I need is some energy…and that’s it ! All I need , is to be open and alive …I started pursuing happiness and trust me , it is a great activity…It takes   wit , interest and energy to be happy ….you know …! I have a haircut done every 15 days….you know…I like to keep them trimmed and maintained. You know why ? ‘cause I read somewhere that  “ you’re only good as your last haircut “…..and I want to last it a lifetime….I want to be good every 15 days …..and well , that makes a month …..a year ..a lifetime …! Hmmmm….in times of great stress , I always keep myself busy…. I start to plow my anger and my energies into something positive …....

  Don’t want to sound boring…but I wrote what I felt …. There might not be too many hahahahahas…..but anyways I’m sure you could relate ….how we all get triggered…in some way or the other….you know ! It’s a complicated world…people have a hard time finding each other …..and trust me ..when they do , they are shit scared ..!! I guess..We don’t need someone who sees the good in us …We need someone who sees the bad and still wants us …! Right ? I’ve learnt to take a deep breath and switch off my ego , when someone tries to trigger me or irritates me…  because if I am easily offended then I am easily manipulated..! In the end…all we’ve to do is just trust the car !..Trust the brakes…just go !! It’s funny …no ?  how people never discuss what triggered us …in the first place ..! Ummmm ,It’s always the discussion on how we reacted …! I hope you guys agree…..somehow…sometimes…whenever people agree with me …I have this feeling that I must be wrong …hahahahaha…! Ok…Ok…I am ...

  Delayed again ! Guess, delays create more stories.. But having said that , some stories get forgotten and some get etched deep… Ok…..Here goes…. The past days were too hectic…a small brush with justice , a death in the family , children’s exam results…looking ahead for their future …..etc…etc…etc… Coping with these daily life things , make us more stronger , more wise and more educated… Stress is part of life…Time to time we experience it….exams , organizing an event   or coping with a   bereavement.   Then we need resilience…It’s not a single skill…. It’s a variety of skills and coping mechanisms..! You just need to bounce back from bumps in the road …! Face it …!   Face it ..! that’s the way to get through ….Face it …! I wonder , when life would start using lubricants ?....thoda dard kam hoga ….nai ?  hahahahaha My coping skills have become stronger , not to mention my inappropriate humour , which gets me out 90 % of the time ….hahahahaha Humo...

  This may sound boring …..but   I’ve tried to make it very simple as it comes..! A friend and colleague once asked me how I write….here goes….nothing ! When I write,   I shake off everything …my sorrows disappear , my courage is reborn ..This is more difficult for me than for others….you know…Greasing the mind to think …think …think…and then , sometimes thinking – how vain it is to sit down and write  when you have not stood up to live !...... I think , it’s never been a better time to be a writer  or even aspire to become one… I tasted life once …..now I write , to taste life again …in the moment …! I write…not because I want to  , but to inspire and get inspired …Ummmm…if it’s good …I’ll find out …if it’s not ….well…I guess…I should just throw it out….hahahahaha Sometimes , I sound foolish …you know….I’ve read my articles again and again….and then I say to myself…I should not judge ….I should understand ! Gradually , I am getting answers to ...

  You know….my voice is a bit heavy….no…no….not in weight …but a little throatily heavy… I am not allowed to sing at home….seriously ….…Now that’s a problem , guys….so I stopover to the place where most of us have honed our skills. The Bath-room !.. Then I sing ! Whenever I have   problems , I sing ! …Then I start believing my family…ummmm…my voice is a lot more worse than my problems …..hahahahahaha Our problem is , we’re too busy to holding onto our contemptibility ( Google it , this one’s a big one)…….. you know ! Our problem is that we start decorating our problems ….....and decorating , doesn’t get us rid of our problems..! We can’t change everything . We can’t improve everything.. Some things can’t change …so , we must change the way we see them ! Actually …the problem isn’t the problem….man ……I think that the problem is our attitude about the problem…..! right ?.....I may as well continue singing…hahahahaha You know….the problem with the problem is ..we created ...
