Wind down stupefied brain


Okay this is really stupid but my mind is so full, of thoughts, I need to pour it out. Here.

We all seem to be looking for happiness and peace. But the truth is, we are constantly running away from it. We enjoy having a complex life, we don’t realise it but yes we do. We constantly seek to find problems in our lives to cry about, if we are unable to find a problem, we create one and then cry about it. Really that’s true. We are just relentlessly creating things in our lives to complicate it and hence complicate our mind. I don’t understand what I am seeking. But I just need to remind myself, that I definitely am not seeking tears and misery.

I really believe in being hopeful, and not an expectant. Hopes are better than expectations. But sometimes I fail to differ between hopes and expectations. And if teh expectations fail, come the crazy moments. It takes half a day or sometimes a week for me to realise that I need to chill and be happy :) Stop creating a fuss about nothing. It was rightly said, "expect nothing and you're never disappointed".

Do not mistake people, and do not let them mistake you for something you are not. Express and be honest. Life is really short. Life will not wait. If something hurts you, say it. If someone makes you happy, thank her. If you are in love, take a chance, sprint and go get it! What do we keep waiting for? Let us stop hurting our mind and heart. Do not let anyone break it, or toy it. Quicks ones to save your heart and mind-

Dooming



I'm upset, horrified, ANGRY. I feel uncomfortable. The world is dying, slowly. It’s difficult to imagine what worse is left for me to witness before I die. I’ve seen uncalled deforestation, atrocities on animals & humans, murders, genocides, homicides, terrorism, horrific rapes of children, girls, old women, obsessive pornography, cannibalism, extreme racism, extreme poverty and hunger and I feel ashamed to be a part of this world.

No stringent laws, no religion, no peace leader can do nothing. This is a roller coaster ride and it’s the downfall. We are bound to watch it.

We are all heading towards the day of reckoning. Sometimes I wish I could shut myself from the world, lock myself up and discover the world inside me. I don’t want to know what’s happening in the world outside. It’s anyway not doing me any good. It only pumps a feeling of hopelessness and distress in me.

I want to hibernate.

Innocence of a child. Mystify their world around and out of the curiosity to understand it, get lost in that puzzle.

Dimaag ka 'Bell Bajao'

Was walking down the Barakhamba Road, in Delhi one evening after college with friends and I heard voices of someone screaming and yelling. I followed the noise and discovered a drunk man beating his wife and abusing her. He was holding a broken glass bottle. I looked around in helplessness to call a cop but couldn't find one. There were a lot of people around though, watching from a distance, acting too busy to stop the man. At first I felt scared to intervene, that man was not in his right senses, and might have attacked me too. But after a few seconds, I gathered courage and intervened. At first I sternly asked him to stop and then politely reiterated not to do that and indicated his wife to slip out of teh situation. I think domestic violence is a matter of public shame and needs to be stopped immediately. I feel happy that I made a move and left an example for other busy people to follow. Sharing this story was more important to me than winning anything. Worst part? A man wearing some nice formal clothes came up to me and told me, "Beta jaane do inhe, inka roz ka hai" (Let them be, its their routine behavior). Good lord! What's wrong with people? This story needs to be told to let people know that it is definitely their responsibility to intervene in any situation that leads to the humiliation of our whole society, not one person.

Delicious Barfi =)


Words fall short to describe what this film expresses. Words carry no value when the heart is empty. If your mind is full, your eyes say it all… When you fall in love you just fall in love. You don’t measure variants. The movie has certain beautiful dialogues which I feel compelled to share. If the love you share and receive is honest, you feel complete inside, even if you are considered a socially incomplete person. And the love that remains is the one that happens, not the one planned after quantifying and calculating it. You fall in love not to lead a comfortable luxurious life, but to be in love.
The simplicity in the characters send shivers to your heart, how will they survive in this world? They are too delicate and people don’t have the heart and patience to understand their mute words. Murphy or more commonly Barfi is a light hearted fellow who falls in love but reality hits him hard that the world has its own set standards of who can fall in love with whom. The real world constantly makes him feel small, always running around to make ends meet despite of his little ‘Robin Hood’ generous acts. Then enters a pretty fragile girl called Jhilmil, who is trapped in her own beautiful world, the world where she enjoys the miracles of nature, magic and music. Hers is a tragic story, on the outside. Inside she has a beautiful world and a family she chose herself by hand picking people around her. Destiny makes the two meet again and again and the time bonds them together. A very unusual couple, incomplete separately but complete together. The story revolves around the quest of their love, one girl who wants to give up everything to lead an incomplete yet beautiful life and the greedy people who have everything yet it never suffices.
I shouldn’t write a lot since I am sure there is still a lot left for me to understand. But yes, Barfi was sweet in just the right amount!

Broken Thoughts, Pieced Together.


Disclaimer: I am a believer.

This is the age of rage and contention. And we have been born here, where one is farthest from god and closest to deterioration of mankind. When we enter the process of life, we have absolutely no will or desire. So during our lifetime(s), whatever we use, we are bound to return. But as we grow up, we start accumulating a debt on us by enjoying sweet fruits of the karma that we have not even achieved. It’s like using credit and paying for it in future. We forget giving back the goodness into the world and keep living an unreal life of luxury and pleasure. ‘What you sow, so shall you reap’. And instead of putting the effort of sowing seeds of kindness, we simply reap the rewards of others. That makes us a victim of future sorrow and delays others getting their share of peace. While we have invited the beast of regret, I believe others will be wisely taken care of by the almighty.
Debt debt debt. Do you realize debt of money is a small stupid thing but it is money and desire that is the source of all the personal and spiritual imbalances in the world!
People just try to find happiness by chasing it. Sadly, happiness doesn’t even exist. Because for me, something that has no stability is just an illusion.
Okay so now you are thinking ‘how can happiness not exist?’ Let’s define happiness, in my standards; happiness is having only what is required and in the optimum amount. Should be satisfying our need, not greed. And how do we know what is optimum? When it doesn’t make us insecure. Anything that doesn’t make us insecure i.e. gives no fear of losing it, is the ONLY happiness. I’d rather call it peace. And I tell you, no little or big amount of wealth can give you any kind of security. Yes we need money, but enough to survive, enough that it doesn’t blow us out of our minds and we forget that life is much more beyond all that glitter and gold. So let’s put it in one sentence, life is all about keeping oneself at peace, not trying to reap happiness based on our desires.

We got to be strong to smile at our sorrow and be supportive to that of others. Come out and realize that if one is sad, it is nothing but a process of paying back the debt and only inviting more peace in life. And don’t let yourself be bothered by the misery of the other, trust me, it is being taken care of, very wisely.
The world is cruel, agreed. But one can’t close their eyes to it, because it won’t change anything. This is a challenge, keep your eyes half open, half closed. That way, you are aware of the outside world, but it won’t influence you since you are alive inside as well, in the world of truth and serenity. You NEED to be aware of the ruthless world, only then can you set a standard for yourself to achieve, a standard that is higher and better and spotless.

"He does not make one suffer for no reason nor does He make one happy for no reason. He is very fair and gives you exactly what you deserve."
