Plan like you will live forever. Live like you will die tonight. Yesterdays are dead. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and one day, I shall be right. Fight for your happiness. It's the only thing worth fighting for. The great Aristotle said those immortal words, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” May you find yours.

To love indifference.....
Trying to love indifference is like expecting a rock to reciprocate. Incomplete.

There are 2 kinds of people. One, live life above the surface. Two, live life beneath the surface.
Both find each other weird.

Everything changes. In hindsight.

ek zamana tha jab sharmo haya

What is man?
Today, here I come
To tell you a part of story
A long story, in a gist
The story of my life
In a poetic sum
Whence I was a child
I did not know what I want
I was confused, scared, timid and mild
I grew up to be a young man
Part of the human clan
But the confusion kept me company still
I would not know what I would eventually become
I would not know what I will
My thoughts, my desires kept changing
Some I couldn't achieve, some I have
Every time I wanted something
Mostly to achieve the desire,
I have given it everything I have
My thoughts and desires and wants
Have made me the person who stands before you today
A very imperfect man
In many ways
But the truth is…
I don’t think I could have been otherwise
Given the way life moved
Including me as a part of the whole
I could not be any other way
Sometime back I started wondering whence from
My desires originated
Why have I always wanted what I wanted?
Have you ever questioned yourself so?
I think I have found part of the answer
And part I am still searching
I will soon bring forth the whole answer
And that will be my major offing.
Today I tell you my friends
We are nothing but a speck in the history of the world
Our desires, our wants
That we hold so dear
They originate within us
Like we originate within a woman’s womb
We are ordered by nature
The almighty powers, the wings of destiny
We are told every moment
Who we are going to be
We own nothing in this world
Not even our own desires
Man o man
Woman o woman
In a sum
We are like the seas, the rivers, the mountains
As natural as they are
Living an illusionary existence

Live a great Story. and recent thoughts.
Oh, screw it. there are 2 ways to live life.1. be safe, scared, hesitant. 2. Be brave, daring, all out. the latter is replete with risk and heartburn but imagine, 50 years down the line, which one would make a wonderful story to talk about.
you have got one story to create. live a great story!
--------------------
When you fully trust a person without any doubts, you finally get one of the 2 results.
A person for life or....
A lesson for life
--------------------
crying is okay. even for men, just do it in a quiet corner.
being human, after all.
-----------------------------
it's almost inhuman effort NOT to return a smile. smile at people you think who don't like you. let them be inhuman ;) haha! nasty. Of course, it will brighten people you like
----------------------------
i have believed with conviction for many years that man is a bundle of emotions. off late, however, i feel that there are exceptions who are born without the bundle.
-------------------------
you know what 'hurt' is? it's the loss of expected happiness. incomplete.

Recent Thoughts
vakt to kuch guzara hamne...
vakt hi guzar paye
na tumne hame samajhne ki koshish ki
na hum tumhe samajh paye
Imagine a world where we could choose what we wanted.
"oh, there was so much he could say.
only if it would matter
his words arose within him
and then, quietly
went scatter'
tu hai jaisa mujhko vaisa dikhna.
kabhi kabhi meri apni hi muskaan mujse puchti hai
tum itna kyu muskura rahe ho
kisko budhu bana rahe ho
don't let the blues get you, for long. find red soon.
If you gonna say it anyway...
why say less?!
what a shame it is...
you loved
and didn't express.
don't go with the flow. don't go against the flow. you haven't a clue. it's the flow which takes care of it.
People will tell you. there ain't a reason. for being unusual. scratch the surface, if they will. human emotions tend to like hide and seek.

Never forget who held you while you were vulnerable.
Never forget who mocked you while you were vulnerable.

Sorrow is how we learn to love. Your heart isn't breaking. It hurts because it's getting larger. The larger it gets, the more love it holds.

Sometimes i do not understand myself. other times, i am lying.
Beware of your happiness. happiness is sometimes a liar, it hides many truths just to exist. Pain is honest, it never lies.
doubt your happiness till you are sure it's honest.
trust your pain.

Thoughts Thoughts Thoughts...
Thoughts Thoughts Thoughts…
Sometimes, my sleep breaks in the
middle of the night and my mind is flooded with a certain kind of thoughts. No
matter how much I try to deflect those thoughts or distract myself, it doesn't happen.
Do I choose the thoughts that come
to my mind?
No, I don’t.
I have no idea why they do. I have
heard myself telling people often that “Happiness is the meaning and the
purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” Yes, this is the
thought by Aristotle right in the description of the blog. I tell my friends
that the purpose of my life is ‘happy faces.’ I do things because they make me
happy and avoid things if they cause me pain.
However, I am not always
successful. Happiness, Charity, anything else that you want to spread out to
the world does not begin at home, it begins with us.
I do not choose my thoughts. I do
not choose who I like. I just happen to think certain thoughts as they pop into
my mind from somewhere and they don’t yield till they have achieved their
objective. There must be an objective after all; the world cannot be a random
place existing totally in an illogical nonsensical manner.
Actually, I am not
sure if it isn't. Not yet, I am still trying to figure this.
Does this happen to you? Do you
sometimes get up in the middle of the night and start thinking something and
you do not quite consciously realize why are you thinking so?
Perhaps you have never paid
attention to the thoughts that appear in your mind and how and why they do. You
will most likely not get an answer to the question but still, the question must
be asked.
Have a nice weekend!

Recent thoughts, recent happenings
"And then...they parted.
While leaving, Christine asked Joseph, 'Will we ever talk again?'
Joseph replied with his moist eyes, 'No, we won't. I could only talk to you as your lover and I cannot do that now . Anything I say now would be meaningless. We will not talk. Do well. Goodbye."
-----------------
kabhi kabhi
koi khyal chah kar bhi nahi jata
jo kal apna sa lagta tha
aj vohi koi aur lagta hai
kya vo hi hai
yakin nahi aa
---------------------------
Consider your destiny your boss. always say yes to it, no matter how fickle or illogical it might seem at most times. peace and happiness.
happiness= enjoy/accept destiny

Keep your conscience clear
Keep your conscience clear. Say everything that needs to be said.
I know people go to bed having so much to say, and wonder why are they a mess. Who has seen a tomorrow? A play i watched recently rightly said, in one of the scenes, 'tomorrow is a bad word.' i agree.
Say it, like you got one last phone call to make.

More on happiness!
It takes us a while to realize that happiness is directly proportional to the intensity and depth of our relationships with people in our lives and with the work that we know we are born to do. The earlier, the better. The later, better than never.
Follow your instincts. Flow like a river.

I thought sari was a social outfit. Looking at the soaps on television, now i think it is nightwear.

Ishq Ibadat hai and some recent thoughts
ishq ibadat hai
bas ishq hi ibadat hai
jab tera sar ibadat me jhuke
bas itna khayal karna
ke tera khuda ibadat ke layak hai
ibadat ko ruswa na karna
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep your smiles and laughter the only barometer of your success. Success is happiness. If you aren't smiling and laughing enough, perhaps you need to find another job, career or another person, to love.

Some people think i am mad the way i live my life. what they don't realize is that i think they are terribly retarded. it's a mutual feeling. xoxo
---------------------------------------------------------
I think the only way to respect someone's work is to be willing to pay for it. even if that person is your blood relative. and i am talking about passionate work, not mercenary work.
------------------------------------------------------------
What is permanent. i mean wtf?! considering everything is temporary, just the duration of temporariness differs. enjoy the temporary but while in it, enjoy it 100%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In India, so many young girls aspire to be teachers totally motivated by their desire to be able to raise their kids due to the flexible time schedule of teaching profession. It has nothing to do with the idea if they like to teach at all. Boys are pushed into professions where expectantly they will make good money to raise a family and find an arranged wife. i mean what do we think is the purpose of existence, 'to get married at whatever cost and have kids to subsequently show off to the neighborhood?' sorry, not impressed.

i have finally discovered what i like about myself the most. besides my surreal pair of eyes, it's the sound of my laughter. of course, i have always been a fan of my modesty.

Since comedy has happened to me either as a dabbler or as an audience, i have lost a lot of emotional weight, popularly called, baggage. :)

I think the most 'duh' thing one can say when one has nothing to say is this. God bless you. I am God's agent.

The only way to live more is to do more of what you are born to do. how do you figure what you are born to do? It's easy for you, much easier than it is for others. You enjoy doing it, it doesn't feel like work and thrills you when you do it well. Do what you are born to do. hey, screw the past. 'they' didn't know it. if you think you should have known this at the beginning of your life, well, just assume it's the beginning of your life/

Words are all I have
Words inspire. Words humor. Words create meaning.
Words, when juxtaposed with action, reflect character.
Words tell a woman she is beautiful,
careless words destroy relationships.
If inspiring, loving, humorous words are all you
have, consider yourself blessed."

Dilli me mera dil hai :)
dilli me mera dil hai
dil hai, to mushqil hai
kabhi khush
to kabhi udas
kabhi shor gul me tanha
to kabhi tanhai me nachta
kabhi sochta ke kuch karun
phir gum ho jata unhi galiyon me
dilli me mera dil hai
kuch muskurata kabhi bismil hai
dil hai, to mushqil hai
kabhi khush
to kabhi udas
kabhi shor gul me tanha
to kabhi tanhai me nachta
kabhi sochta ke kuch karun
phir gum ho jata unhi galiyon me
dilli me mera dil hai
kuch muskurata kabhi bismil hai
theek hi kaha kehne wale ne
ye sheher, sheher nahi
mehfil hai....
ye sheher, sheher nahi
mehfil hai....
