The Next Thirty Days...Day 12 (Crying)

I cry when I am sad I cry when I am happy  I cry when I fail I cry when I achieve I cry when I make a mistake I cry when I get it right I cry when I remember those who were really special and have left for heavenly abode I cry to break free I cry to vent out my frustrations I cry to de-stress I cried when I was born I cried when I was in love I cried when I found love I cried when I experienced joy I cried when I was blessed with a child The above are just few of many instances when we cry and for a variety of reasons. It's not because we are weak at heart or we like to sob....but then when it comes to really expressing yourself from the bottom of your heart there is not better way then to let your tears roll down. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At some point ...I would like to better this for Crying is one such thing which studies have proven to be a liberating experience in 9 times out of 10.......

The Next Thirty Days...Day 11 (Writer's block???)

Actually I wanted to write about crying....but just could get the thought flow going write. It didn't really beyond the first few words. After a few attempts my mind said to me it's writer's block. I said what??? So that goes the title for today's blog.  And my mind pointed out to me that anyone can suffer from writer's block. You didn't have to be a great writer. Rather it has everything to do with a block rather than writing. And everyone happens to carry some sort of block with them. Only differentiating factor being each one experiences it in different context. That's it.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On second thoughts I feel today's blog is not quite there and it leaves a lot to be desired. But frankly...I seem so stuck with the words ...writer's block that I am not able to get over it. At this point mind tell me don't worry....for each one has his own way...

The Next Thirty Days...Day 10 (Looking Back)

Looking back .... A way to evaluate yourself A way to be with yourself A way to contemplate A way to reflect A way to find bliss A way to just be A way to nirvana A way to search for meaning A way to see where you were right And where you were wrong Where you could have been better Where you were could have been worse off Where you realized your mistakes Where you learnt to experience Where you experienced grief Where you found happiness Realized the meaning of joy Vow....never quite realized the until now The joy of looking back... And being able to smile at life for the way it has been For Life was, is and will be most precious gift..I ever received So sit back Relax And look back.....on the solitude and bliss of life

The Next Thirty Days...Day 9 (Remember)

Remember Remember what? Whatever you would like too .... What happened? Thinking about what to remember Funny Why, what's funny? For you are the one who always to start with "Remember...." Yes, I do remember that... So why are you thinking....Just remember whatever you would like too....or whatever you can, don't have to think too much about it You mean I can think about my first word? Yes Or my first step Yes Or first day of school Hmmm Or my first love vow... Or the first time I met my wife good.... I think ...I jumped too many Meaning.. I jumped from my first love to my wife...I missed a lot many in between Like The first lecture we bunked Ha...we had almost entered the class and turned back...for movie....God that was some fun And the first time we flunked.... Ooops.....yeah it was much easier than we had thought....right? Right.. And it then equally tough getting back on track.... Hmm...yes...forget that what else What else....le...

The Next Thirty Days...Day 8 (The Importance or Worth of Knowledge)

The true worth of knowledge is in being able to apply it when it is required the most. For what worth is all the knowledge you have in the world when it can't answer the simple question life poses to you.  Forget life. You may it's broad. Take the exams that you have given so far. At one point or the other there is that just one particular question which you would be able to answer even in the middle of the night when woken up from sleep but it simple tends to miss you at that instance while answering the question. Gone, you have missed those marks. Yet another example could be of that of an interview. The interviewer asks you a question which one of the most simplest one he could have ever asked given your experience and expertise and you end up make a total mess of it, only to walk out and realize "Oh! my God, how could I not answer that".  Or for that matter when your boss asked you for suggestion...and you could not come up with any or may be you had a suggestion ...

The Next Thirty Days...Day 7 (The Importance of Emotions)

Well I am not a scientist, psychologist or for that matter a person who has read Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. But one thing for sure I have realized over the years. And that is emotions are important. And as days have passed by my belief in the importance of emotions has gotten stronger and stronger. I don't know how to prove it neither have any research studies available to me with prove that other than a simple reasoning logic. When is that it that something impacts or changes you the most? Don't just rush into the answer but think over it. It's only when something touches your heart or strikes a chord and this is nothing but the  emotions. Emotions that shape your thinking and the way you act. Emotions are sometimes rational / logical and totally irrational / illogical at other times. But when they touched drastically different things happen. These drastically different things could be miracles or doom. The deeper picture behind these two extremes are whate...

The Next Thirty Days...Day 6 (Imran's Poetries)

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara ...a good movie but one that leaves a lot to be desired. But I liked the movie the most for just one thing....Imran's Poetries ....I think penned by Javed Akhtar (if I remember correctly that's what the credit's say). There's one line in the movie which says to learn diving you need not know swimming...in the same vein to savour the taste of these simple yet mesmerizing lines you don't need to watch the movie... So sit back as you read, reflect, contemplate and dwell into the deeper meanings of the poems so beautiful that you are sure fall in love with them. For it cannot escape a true poetry aficionado. Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya Jab ghum ka saya lehraya Jab aansoo palkon tak aya Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai Duniya mein yunhi hota hai Yeh jo gehre sannate hain Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai ...
