living those simple moments….

It is been ages that I am having time to feel the breeze and admire it. Sitting alone by bedside window and gazing randomly at the  sky. Does it have any thing to share or talk to me? Not sure about it but can feel kinda connect with it. Probably we both are alone today and so we have time for each other. As it is just while before that it had rained, sky is empty. Neither those tiny winy starts nor the moon is there. So the sky has got void today and so I am. We are travelling in the same boat.

Till the time it was sea, that could touch my core and hook me off the world around.Today it is sky that is doing it. It is amazing and serene the way it is. It cannot be put in words exactly, it cannot be captured in pictures, it cannot be recorded for its sound but just can be felt and lived. Mind is the only device that can capture and store it, and theses facts about it makes it mesmerizing.

What is that message that sky is trying to convey? Is that it complaining that I often just talk about its height and never bother to look at it? or is it just asking for that while of company to fill up the void? or is it reminding me to never give upon those dreams of reaching its height?May be it is all this and something even more. I promise myself again with reminder of the sky of never giving upon the “Immpossibel Dreams”….

“Oonche gagan mein udne ka sapna
hatheli se baadal ko chhoone ke armaan
mujhko mitana hai in faaslon ko
mujhe pankh de do
mujhe pankh de do….”.

Yes F5 – Refresh… Took a motivation pill in the for of book “Attitude is Everything” and yes you people got it right. Feeling better now 🙂

Listing down some parts of my pill here, it may help someone out there who is in need of it…

• Nothing can stop the man with right mental attitude from achieving his goal; Nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong attitude.
• You are not what you think you are.But what you think- YOU ARE.
• A positive attitude is a person’s passport to a better tomorrow.
• Success is state of mind.If you want success,start thinking of yourself as success.
• Better keep yourself clean and bright;you are the window through which you must see the world.
• You cannot always control the circumstances,But you can control your own thoughts.
• There is nothing good or bad,but thinking makes it so.
• A happy person is not a person in certain set of circumstances,but rather a person with certain set of attitudes.
• We become what we think about.
• If you can believe, all the things are Possible.
• There is nothing on the earth that you cannot have – once you have mentally accepted the fact that you can have it.
• Whether you think you can – or think you cannot, you are right…!
• They can  because they think they can.
• If your thoughts don’t change, your results wont change.
• What we sincerely believe regarding ourselves is true for us.
• Nobody succeeds beyond his or her wildest expectations unless he or she begins with some wild expectations.
• If you can dream it,you can do it.
• “What is this power is I cannot say;all know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a an is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.”
• Effort fully release its reward after a person refuses to quit.

flipping over the page and its another year….

flipping over the page and its yet another year,Completing two years of being an IT professional. None less than an achievement. So many things changed projects,people around, technology,and the organization I worked with as well. And I mark it again for myself – there is still a long way to go. A lot more to be achieved,lot more to be looked for,a lot more to dream about,and a lot more to come… Gonna keep Dreaming the “I-Am-Possible”…

“Roothe khaabon ko mana lenge
Kati patango ko thaamenge
Haa haa hai jazba
Ho ho hai jazba
Suljha lenge uljhe rishton ka manjha
Hmm ka manjha, hmm ka manjha…

Soyi taqdeere jaga denge
Kal ko ambar jhuka denge
Haa haa, hai jazba
Ho ho, hai jazba……”

 

the serenity re-defined…!

I have visited couple of beaches near the city this rainy season,posted the snaps too.Experience was yet to be put down in the words.May be if I post my personal snaps, they will reveal what all the sea-shore and the surroundings meant to me…

The best of the all the day outs was an hour at the sea-shore at 8 p.m. The place where we visited the shore was a small village, a literal village. No houses built of cement concrete,very less or almost no things automated – neither vehicles,nor the things of daily use. Every house was lit with the small earthen lamps when we were on the way to the shore.It was just a five minutes walk from the place we were staying for that night. It was the scene I saw after ages. I remembered the same sense of evening I have experienced when I was 3-4 yrs old, when my father had posting in what is literary called village. All seemed to serene and perfectly placed. Marvelous was the first site of the sea-shore. Just the moon light- yes only the moon light, there wasn’t even a single artificial light. The blue water to the extent eyes can reach to see and the sound that we could here was the only sound of waves. I can absolutely feel it while penning down as well. I have visited sea-shore couple times before,but site wasn’t ever this beautiful before and I don’t think it will ever be. 8 p.m. may be was pretty late,so we were the only people present there.

We were the group when we reached the shore and were all dispersed as singles within just few minutes. May be everyone had special and the secret message to be shared with the sea and I was no exception to it.  I was just in awe to witness its hugeness. Sea was re-defining what serenity meant to me. It made me forget myself and the world around. I don’t know what that feeling was exactly that brought the tears in my eyes. Was it the happiness?the feeling of contentment?was it the sadness?the loneliness? I don’t have answer..I was just feeling it…. I would definitely visit the same shore at the same time when I’ll have that  special someone in my life.No place can be more perfect than this for that special walk.

The feel when the waves touch your feet, the feel when the soil under your feet pull you down as the waves return to the sea. I was wondering about the relation these waves and the sea-shore have. They meet each other for just a moment. Is this “just a moment” sufficient for them to meet and ensure each other of their presence for each other. How do they manage this? Wouldn’t sea-shore any time feel to go and visit the wave rather than wave visiting it every time? What kind of bonding they have? How come wave keeps its promise of visiting the shore every time? Shouldn’t we get the inspiration from these waves and learn to keep the promises? shouldn’t we learn to rise every time fall?  How does moon feels to see waves and sea-shore meet? I want someone with me to answer my all questions next time I’ll visit the sea. Sure that I am not gonna visit sea shore alone next time I do. I don’t know how,but I wont alone…..

This was one of those moments of my life when I wanted time to freeze. Well lets see when life offers me my next awaited freezing moment.. Will keep you people posted of it..! 🙂 And that is what I can put in words of the serenity that was re-defined to me… Signing off on the note of prayer that may life bless me with someone like sea who can occupy the void that is there…!

let the skys be only limit…..

“Mujhe Pankh dedo – Women for Change “

Awesomest lyrics by Prasoon Joshi and beautifully sung by Shuba Mudgal…

Oonche gagan mein udne ka sapna
hatheli se baadal ko chhoone ke armaan
mujhko mitana hai in faaslon ko
mujhe pankh de do
mujhe pankh de do

The dream to fly high in the sky,
dreams of touching the clouds with the palm,
I have to remove these distances,
give me wings,
give me wings..

kal kal karti nadiyaan
mere ghar se kyun na guzrein
rimjhim rinjhim sheetal saavan
angna kyun na barse
badalna hai sadiyon ke in silsilon ko
mujhe pankh de do
mujhe pankh de do

why shouldn’t free flowing rivers go through my home,
why shouldn’t the raining cool monsoon rain in my yard,
I have to change these successions of centuries..
give me wings
give me wings..

mere talwon ke neeche os kyun na muskaaye
chehre par ik dhuli dhuli si kiran,
kyun na gehraaye
aazad kar do mere kaafilon ko
mujhe pankh de do
mujhe pankh de do………………..

why shouldn’t dew drops smile beneath my feet,
why shouldn’t a ray washed (can say, in dew, or sunbathed)
deepen on my face
make my caravans free..
give me wings
give me wings..
