Lifeless

Sky is endless
Sea is boundless
Sun is marvellous

Streets are walked alone by me
Songs are hummed alone by me
Love is too apart from me
Friends know nothing of me

Gone into my own shell
Lost the charm once I had

Aloof of everything around
That magic in mee is too hard to be found

Sky is endless
Sea is boundless
Sun is marvellous
Yet the world seem so LIFELESS!

Be the miracle!

"Be the miracle..." Does that line ring a bell? That is the line from the movie - Bruce Almighty... Quite a nice movie, but, ofcourse it's bollywood version was made adding up more spice with the typical Bollywood tadka. If you still didn't get which Bolly flick I am talking about, then it is - God Tussi Great Ho. But, of course I prefer the Holly one, not because I prefer Hollywood movies more, but, because they kept it simple and didn't make a mess out of it...which ultimately did happen in GTGH... And comparisons are bound to happen since its taken up..or lets say inspired of Bruce Almighty.. But, I am not here to give a review of GTGH....

I am writing this because the line which I have mentioned earlier actually 'moved' me. It is a simple thing which Morgan Freeman (God) tells Jim Carrey (Bruce) to do.. But, it holds great depth. We are a bunch of people who believe just what we can see. And we often end up asking proofs. To believe in God, we need a miracle happening right in front of us! And why should He always perform a miracle in our life? To make us believe? So much of doubts..that we at times don't even trust ourselves... Why do we need a miracle, when we ourselves can be one! A simple thing said with sheer beauty!

We are the miracle. Miracle is when an impossible thing all of a sudden becomes a possibilty and all of us have this wonderful magical power to do so. But, the important thing is that we should believe - Believe in our capability.. Have the will power and the guts to 'bring the change'. Just sitting over at a corner and blaming your luck ...blaming God..won't do you any good. Get up and be the miracle.

Too big things I am speaking about...Am I? Yeah I know.. all of us have got another excuse... "Its easier to speak about it but difficult to actually implement..." Yeah right...Come on...Get a life dude... That is what exactly means about being the miracle.. Ever tried something other than just letting things to happen for you? Waiting for things to fall into their places on their own? Come on..get moving... no one else will do it for you..

Even in the smallest of things in our lives..we can be the miracle.. we can do the unexpected... Think of the ways, the things which you were not able to do until now...things which you wanted to do but couldn't just because of some silly stuck up reason of yours...Its high time since miracles has happened around in our locality, right? Lets just surpise them by being one.. By doing those better things of our life which the world didn't expect of us...

Smile when you are in the biggest of troubles...Get up when you have no where to go...Fight until ur last breath...You have the power...Be the miracle and glorify Him...Can you be one?

What's In A Name?

Funny, but as soon as we hear a name quite a lot of things run in our mind! And the first and foremost thing that crosses our mind is - RELIGION! As soon as a name is spoken up, and bang on, our ears convery the message to the nerve cells and the grey cells judge the religion of the name spoken! Quite a mystery of a process! A Khan or an Ali is categorized as a Muslim. A Kapoor or a Sharma has to be a Hindu while a George or Matthew is deemed as a Christian! What a wonderful  way of categorizing people and our incredible brain does it all in seconds! All of us are so much cool in judging and sizing up each and every one in front of us.

Rightly written by the talented dialogue writers of the movie - A Wednesday and superbly delivered by the master of acting skills, Sir Naseeruddin Shah, ' Insaan naam mei mazhab dhoond leta hai' (Humans find out religion in a name!)

Divisions! So many of them! A line is drawn almost every where! Why do we love complicating things? I mean is being a Khan or a Sharma or a John far more imortant than being a human? As if this wasn't all...We have castes, races...and what all. To add cherry on the top, we have one more addition which has become quite popular now - GOTRAS! I wasn't even aware of any such division, but I was enlightened a few months back, thanks to the controversy revolving around it!

How much more divisions do we need? Can't we just raise ourselves above these divisions for once and for all? Forever...Possible??? Even the Almighty and the most powerful one might be thinking, 'kitna badal gaya insaan!'

So, next time when anyone asks what's in a name, you exactly know the answer. Don't you?

BACK FROM THE BREAK

Took a long long break.... And in the last 2 years, so many things happened and so many things changed... But changes are bound to happen. There is only one thing that doesn't change and that is... Everyone has 24 hours in a day... The way you use it is what brings the change!

I don't know how i used my 24 hours of every day in the last two years...Do i have any regrets? May be... I would need time to sort that question out!

K..So , from now on i'll update my blog...hope so regularly! Till then chew on this...

"Do not avoid a void in anyone's heart...may be you too will have it one day!"

Hey don't chew too hard! Was just thinking and that line cropped up in mind...and of course its mine... Who else can write all nonsense stuffs like this? Hahaha....

Have a great day!

WAITING LIST MANIA

EVER TRIED TRAVELLING ALONE FOR A DAY AND AN ENTIRE NIGHT ....WITHOUT A SEAT ...AT THE AGE OF 18..... ???? I did something like that on 27th of September. Don't get a feeling that I am going to boast about my guts and keep on praising myself in here. No way ..because when talking of guts ... I hardly had any at that time. On Friday evening I booked a ticket for myself to Delhi from Hyderabad in A.P. Express which mostly everytime is horribly full.... I did it in "TATKAL"... the new service which provides you a confirmed seat.... The man behind the corridor spoke... "Waiting list 70" .... I heard "17" .... and i asked him to book the ticket... when I helped myself out ... I cursed myself and the one who made 70 and 17 pronounce almost similarly.... "THE IDIOT" I had no other options, but, to travel without a seat. Friends advised me to bribe the T.T who comes to check the tickets and ask him to provide me a seat as I am a girl travelling alone and on the top of it...Badly ill. I memorised the whole scenario ... all the lines which I should speak in front of the T.T..... and prayed to God to help.... In the morning at 6:20 I reached the station... train was destined to come at 6:55 .... It came and I entered without knowing what destiny has in store for me.... I looked around here and there ... I found people busy settling themselves on their seats ... few trying to tuck in their luggage under the seats... I found a vacant seat to sit...and decided to sit their until the rush clears off... Soon two boys came and looked at my seat and told each other that their seat is, 'this one and that one'... I realized I was sitting on one of their seats.I immediately stood up and made my way to the next boggie. I prayed ... Prayed earnestly to God... "If I have knowingly or unknowingly helped ...ANYONE ...in this world... help me Lord.." ...That one line I kept on my murmuring inside my heart... I was walking and I found the way jammed ...I can't go ahead because few other unfortunate people too had their seat in waiting list and were trying hard to get themselves hooked on to one or the other seat... I ran my eyes around... I found an old lady on one of the seats... She asked me to sit until the rush clears off....I sat opposite to her... She asked which was my seat..I told her my plight...she asked me to talk to the t.t ... the same advise which my enlightened friends gave already... I could hardly speak, my throat was itching.... due to a sour throat which I was carrying around. I wasn't really well.... and then a policeman came and asked me to stand because incidentally the seat where I was sitting was his... "SHIT" ... I said to myself.. I told him everything and he asked me to go ahead and try as there is a school group on tour... The old lady said .. "Let her sit for a few seconds... let the rush clear off... " I thanked her earnestly... A friend of the policeman came by then .. he wanted to sit and talk to him... He asked his friend whether it's empty above ... he said yes... he aske me to sit on the top berth.. I did the same... placed my luggage above and helped myself in there...When I got in there I cursed the friend of the policeman for saying yes...because the upper berth was occupied by THREE LUGGAGE BAGS...and I hardly had any place to sit... still I sat accepting my situation.. I repeated my prayer again and made a bit of room for myself and sat in there.. After a few minutes the rush cleared off... it wasn't a school group, but, seemed to be a college group ... 6 girls helped themselves to their seats which were around us... I was on the uppermost berth of the R.A.C seat ... After a few more minutes... a boy came and took away the two bags.... Thanks to GOD ... I would have shouted a thank you to him too ... if possible! I made a bit more room... I tried placing my bag more convinently and pulled it to myself and placed the other bag a bit far away...and then another guy came and took the other bag away.... WHOA!! I helped myself nicely then and made the pillow of my luggage bag and slept off... I prayed hard though all the time that no one ask would me to vacate the seat .... By the time t.t. came... another uncle was lying on an upper berth.. He asked him to wake up... looked at his ticket and said these words... "YOU'VE WAITING LIST .....HOW COME YOU ARE LYING HERE...GET OFF FROM THE SEAT ....AND STAND THERE... " Uncle though said .."We'll adjust... you don't worry..." .... but the T.T still murmured ...depicting his disappointment as if he had stolen Queen Elizabeth's PRECIOUS NECKLACE! ..... I said to myself... "Isse kya help mangoo..." ...and kept quiet... the guy looked around ...and found the college group gals.... he moved on ahead.. i was puzzled .. "why didn't he ask me for a ticket at the least.... " ... and then I realised that the guy actually took me as one of the group members... "HIS MISTAKE" ...and I was in no mood to correct him! I slept off... didn't have my lunch .. opened my eyes though every few minutes..and witnessed the happenings around me... My brother called me everytime and asked me to look for a seat now or it would be a problem in the night..I assured him I will do so when the T.T comes... But, I dozed off again... had a few chips and a few sips of slice .... and then dozed off again... I prayed by that time earnestly...that no one would turn up for the seat at night because the guy who is sitting right now would like to have a nice sleep at night and would ask me to vacate then.... It was dark outside the train now and I was feeling cold ..I took a bedsheet and covered myself with it and was going to doze off again when I received a message from one of my friends in the hostel....She informed about one bomb blast that happened in delhi and asked me to take care... I prayed again and slept off.... At night aroun 10 I woke up.... Few were still chirping and others were getting ready to sleep...I prayed hard... I had fear... but I prayed more and more... And then I dozed off again .... I woke up at 1 ... I was surprised ...no one had told me anything ... everyone was fast asleep... there was no one else for the seat in which I was lying..it solely belonged to me..I thanked God... I thanked him like hell.... and slept off again! In the morning too ... no one turned up for his seat...I felt as if God was protecting me..He was somewhere near... too near to me..He could see me and I could feel him..I felt secure... This was my journey.. the magical journey... thousands of people in the waiting list face too many hurdles.... and I was saved ... I travelled without even a slightest of the problems... and then I believed ... YES GOD ... YOU ARE WONDERFUL ...THE MOST POWERFUL ONE... YOU ARE ABOVE ALL.... ......
