Afflatus


.... I saw sunlight coming through the clouds ... how pleasant it feels when you see a ray of hope, how satisfying it is.
No one can understand better than a man in difficulty crying for help, like an oasis for a desert traveler ....

Once walking by, I saw group of middle age men sitting on the green grass of the park, and surrounded by few others. When I was looking from way far couldn't figure out what was going on? But that sight was one which I cant forget, which made me realize that there is more to life. When I went closer I saw there were group of blind men surrounded by some elderly people teaching them. When I reached there, one of them started singing, I stopped by for a moment. I heard the whole song. After he sang the applaud given to him was incomparable to any of the singers on earth. It was not due to the fact that he sang so well but he made them cheer and happy from bottom of their heart, the one who was in need. I cant forget the smile on their face.

One cant surmise the life they are going through, but still the smile on their face makes one think that one should be happy for how one is? Most of them think that there is only one person on earth who has the all the problems which is he himself. I would just say take a look around, you may be the happiest person, you just need to figure it out how. It is not the life which should teach you, but the other way round.

If you can make one smile .... then you had made a difference, not only to him but also for you, it is more satisfying than anything else. This is the ray of hope I am talking about, you are the ray hope for the one around you ... just keep your eyes open and you would make a difference.

Is it me ?


It was never about me, I tried to understand what is going on but still the irascible state was there. Where was I, what am I doing ...Am I going the right way or should take some more time. I was there in the middle of nowhere but still approaching the aim which was unseen, like horizon, it’s there but still unexplored. It makes you feel stable if you feel it, but makes you restless when you know you can’t get it. The multi dimensional nature of mind couldn’t let off my thinking ability which seeks one. It is unimaginable to think how the one who never was involved in such diabolic world could think in such a way. Is it you who change yourself or the incompetent surroundings make you do so. I say I dint do it, but I know I am the herald of life which is in my hand. I heard a cacophonous sound the day when I was born came to know I joined the world, I was chaste when I was born, but time made me change, in no time I was sounding the same. You can be as you are only when you know you want to be what you are. Air changes around you but you are the same with the same mortal body, beneath lies the soul which was there from the beginning, beginning of what ... it is the beginning of you, that is real you. 

 

It was never about me but always about me.

Canteen time

After a tiring day from the mundane classes and the hot and humid weather, it was night again. Now it was time to have some so called delicious food at Ravi da. Ravi da the canteen man who likes to be flambouyant but he is inept in this part. Last time he bought a tape recorder which played some crappy old hindi songs, which lead to the downturn of his revenues.
We were waitng for the order we placed which was supposed to come an hour late for no reason.  So we sat there ... we means the balloning Dipa, the bald Forrest Gump, Karkare and me the so called Aapahij. Whenever we met at the mess top, waiting for food, we generated some weird theories or had some discussion on the The blad man's propostion, (let me tell you they are all fart but still he fights for them, we will discuss the proposition part later on) or may be extend our PJ theory (exclusive of Me and Dipa, there are some subsidary theories like partial PJ theory, the OJ theory and why HJ doesnt exists we will also discuss this later). 
So this time we all were sitting and were questioning each other. I asked Dipa, "What you want in your life. I mean what you yearn for ?"He said, "Food, Sleep ........ thats it."That conversation led me think that is there any difference between a life of a cow on the grass of PAN loop, which chews the green grass and sleeps on the same the whole day, yes there is. Both dont take a shower but only one among them stinks.
