Coffee complicates....

Life is a complicated web of relationships. We try to keep things simple or atleast say that lets not complicate things..yet we fail to do so. Tell me any relationship where things can always remain simple..Well you can't coz after all human being itself is a complicated creation of nature.

I have experienced this so often now that it seems quite perennial to me...that people cannot take simple things in a simple way...scepticism prevails and hogs our mind...may be this is an outcome of modern life...which is mechanistic...devoid of goodness...

I simply do nothing but laugh at the immature behaviour of some people when I see all this happening in and around me...so naive...that you can do nothing but feel sympathetic towards them...when you see them mess their lives...by their complicated thinking...

Relating to business concepts...today the marketer says "Keep things simple for the customer" yet when you see the same person in his/her personal life...he has probably screwed it up...


Life is beautiful...I have always appreciated things which are simple..they had been close to my heart...I love living every moment...and try to be happy the way I am...simple and straight..and sometimes blunt...yet true to myself and others...

Yet I have seen people complicating their life on a cup of coffee...

So next time you sip a cup of warm coffee...don't think much...coz

Coffee complicates...just njoi the beverage...IT'S SIMPLE...

My Last Poem

The day I will be there in your arm
Your angel face with all the charm
Your blue eyes that are ocean deep
These were the things I wanted before I sleep

The moments of happiness and the state of bliss
You gave me all which I will now miss
The silent moments the long walks
The long arguments and the wordless talks

Hours of looking into each others eye
When we never knew how time flies by
How we watched the starry skies together
The warmth we felt in the cold weather
Within my mind your snapshot I will always keep
These were the things I wanted before I sleep

Something touched me deep inside
When I saw you first I sighed
I asked god can she be mine
Can she come and make my life divine
There was no answer not a sign
I kept on trying yet I knew you will decline
I resigned to fate knew it was all God's design
When you said yes I was on cloud no. nine

Those were the moments I will cherish
My soul will live them when I will perish
When I leave I should see you with all smiles
You are my strength when I travel endless miles

No sorrow no tears no blemish no scars
When I walk to the sky and become a star
My head in your hands where I will peacefully lie
This will be the day that I die

The rat race.....join the marathon or be a Man

Do we really enjoy our life..do we really ?

These words were banging my head for quite sometime now. From our early childhood we are put through a rigourous process of proving yourself....day in and day out we just slog slog and slog why...to prove yourself that you are the best..yeah we best make a donkey of ourselves...

No am not in a bad mood when am writing this...yet just a feeling of what we make in doing what we are doing now...some slog to become a perfectionist...some to make name and some to make money...yet we never sit back and enjoy the small pleasures of life...

25 years of life goes into this initial phase and what you get are a few medals and certificates...So proved yourself well enough ? Are these the indicators of your success ?

Well am not saying that one should run away from the duties, the rigour of education and the responsibilities...what I feel is one should first understand the basis of ones existence...why are we here and what should be our behaviour towards others..

How often do you think of going to a beach and watch the sunset...how often do you think of going out on a long walk with your girl...how often do you think of going out with your family without any reason.....how often do you think of spending some silent moments with the person you love....

Well they are the last in our priority list....the least bothered things...we just don't understand that these things are the essence of our life...they make us...

25 more years to go...well one can live life like a rat...chasing the cheese with the rest of the world...or one can be a Man and live like a Man...with those feelings and moments which make us Human...

Eyes...

Have you ever seen deep into the eyes of somebody...Deep enough to reach the soul...deep enough to see the unseen...deep enough so that you yourself get finally lost in them...

Eyes are beautiful...eyes say the story which are yet to be spoken...eyes shows all the emotions...love, hatred, grief, joy....nothing escapes if you can see the eyes and understand them....

Eyes are wonderful...not only you see the whole world...somebody can see 
the world through your eyes and somebody's world can be your eyes... 

So look deep into the eyes....you never know you can get lost into another world...or discover something beyond your imagination....

Eyes of somebody can change your life for ever :-)

Life is beautiful...

Life is beautiful...somebody told me a couple of days back...well I keep on listening this...from various people..around me...the power of this 3 words is not always felt...

Yet when I was down these words from somebody close to my heart worked wonders...as if I was looking towards life through a narrow prism...having lost the purpose of life...involved in the mundane activities...too absorbed...

Life is beautiful...when we see the host of opportunities around us...the ever expanding world of friends...the beautiful sky...the river..the wind..the chirping birds...isn't life so beautiful...

Life is beautiful...because you still have so much with you...so much to enjoy...moments to cherish...moments to share...moments to conspire...moments of love...moments of care...

Life is beautiful....just need to realize it...

Memories never fade...Yet...

It was a dark night when my mind was wandering across numerous things...those few things which was my past, which is now a part of me and which cannot be changed...past which seems like a story to me...past which is long forgotten... still reminiscent in some corner of my mind when I meet silence and solitude...

Memories, good or bad, never leave us. Good memories are something which we cherish. Whether connected to some event, person or place we try to live them again and again. They make us feel better when we are down...

But can we avoid those memories which lets us recall those moments of life which were really painful...which were connected to those people who gave us nothing but sorrows...those whom we loved the most and who were never there when we needed them the most.....

I have always felt that the power of bad memories is much more than good memories.......they can make me feel worse when I am down....and they come to my mind most when am already feeling low....

Yet when there is somebody with you who can really give you the warmth, the personal touch and the solidarity...such memories fade and go away for ever...life seems beautiful again...a new sky to fly, a new horizon to explore, a new road to travel.....

Not all are lucky to get the same ... yet there is a point of time everyone gets it... sooner or later is luck.....God balances things so meticulously....

I love to watch the starry sky for hours....they inspire me.....they symbolize to me so many things...one being the sign of solidarity...they have stood beside each other for millions of years...across all events when the universe was changing....for good and bad times....

Times are changing...yet they never changed...

A few small things....

I wonder when I look back today....the events that shaped my life...were not something very big...but bits of small things...unimportant may be yet so important when I reflect....

A cliched statement as we often hear "Small things make a big difference" is so true. We often get involved in things to make a big impact..whether it be our career..our relationships..or any other endeavour.....

But do we ever think if there is really a substitute to things like a few word of thanks to your friends who are always there for few...a word of gratitude to your teacher...a few words of appreciation to your colleague for a work well done...some time spent with the person you love...the small fights and then the act of making it up...a few words of gratitude for your family whom we take for granted....

If you think a bit...there is none...and if you really can feel it you will understand that these are much bigger than the success you achieve in life....

You may own 10 cars and draw a fat salary....you might have a beach-side bungalow...you might have a fleet of servants....but the day you leave this world...it will be only those few people who will feel your absence in their life....you will live another life in their memories....

Dream big and achieve it...but don't miss out those beautiful moments of life which makes you human....

Life is short.....spread love....be loved...and cherish those few small things...

Few moments of life...

There are so many things we find new in life. People, place, things, animals, birds to mention a few. Infact everything is new atleast once. Of these first meetings some touch you so much that you can never forget them throughout your lifetime. You cherish those moments. You try to preserve those thoughts in your memory.

These feelings cannot be defined in words. Nor they can be explained by any action. You just feel good about it. ….so good that everyday the same thought keeps on repeating in your mind….

Is it just me who feels like that…I guess no….It’s everybody…because everybody has two facets of their own. One which is the pragmatic side…close to your mind…which helps you tackle the day to day problems. The other is the spiritual side…which is close to your heart….

Is your mind everything….Finding yourself as a top boss is what you think is happiness….No doubt your success adds to your happiness…but is it the whole…

Your heart is so powerful. Heart is linked to spirituality…to your emotional quotient…Emotions are undefined…it’s related to your feelings…However hard you may be from outside there will be something that will move you…Every person is emotional….some less some more…but everybody is…

But how important are your emotions to you….How much time you give to your heart…have you thought a bit on it…

In every days din and bustle we never think on it…we are lost. Life is very small and there is one life….so if something or someone makes your heart felt good then find it or if you already found …then achieve it….

Those will be your biggest achievement. That will be even greater than becoming the CEO of a company. Reaching the highest pedestal and having nobody to share your success with is the biggest sorrow one can have.

So go and find your happiness…..May be somebody is waiting for you !!!

Go Get it…
