Work - An antidote to grief

When something unfortunate happens to us, we are deep lost in agony and despair. But grief is a part of human life and is unavoidable just as death. It is completely fair to grieve over something but it's not wise to sink in the plethora of sorrow. We must preserve our sanity even in the time of acute distress. And work is the only thing that comes to rescue us by providing healthy consolation. Work helps us to overcome the melancholy. One thing we should never forget,

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." - George Carlin.

So we should always try to give a proper meaning to our lives rather than sinking in despair. Life becomes meaningful and interesting only when we start concentrating on us gets more attached to work which is constructive and challenging. The study of man at work is vast and fascinating theme. It is in fact inexhaustible. There is no doubt that work is the most important single aspect of human life. Well, it can be aptly described as the real philosopher's stone which transmutes all the base metal of humanity into sparkling gold. Without adequate interesting work we can't find real joy in life as well as without genuine commitment to work we can never find our inner peace.

The satisfaction that comes from constructive work is the only antidote to grief.

चिट्ठियां

उसने मुझसे कहा तुम लिखती हो, बहुत खूब लिखती हो |कविता लिखती हो, किस्से लिखती हो|ज़िन्दगी के नए नए फ़लसफ़े लिखती हो|कभी बेबाक़ तो कभी संजीदगी से लिखती हो|कभी सहज और सरल तो कभी पेंचीदा लिखती हो|कभी धूप सी तेज़ कभी बारिश सी नम लिखती हो |आख़िर इतना खूब कैसे लिखती हो ?

और मैं बस इतना कह पाई, मैं तो चिट्ठियां लिखती हूँ|
मेरे दिल को तुम्हारे दिल से जोड़ने वाले जज़्बातों को शब्दों का आकार देकर चिट्ठियां लिखती हूँ |

Beauty of the soul

Life is challenging yet very beautiful and we should always strive to make it wonderful. But many times the desire to attain external beauty becomes so big that we completely forget to see the real beauty inside us. We are so restless of looking at the body's improper shape, darkness of the skin and wrinkles of the face that we ignore our true beauty is inside them. But the truth is that the external beauty can never belittle our inner beauty. Just need to figure and feel that, how beautiful we really are.

To feel the dignity of real beauty - the beautiful heart and the beautiful soul and to maintain it are no less than a challenge. And this effort leads us to betterment. And when we begin to explore ourselves, we get to know how much beauty is inside us. Time doesn't have any effect on this. It always remains beautiful. And we must take care of this beauty because it is priceless. We must always work to maintain this beauty. Because we are special - Very Special....

I want to be ME - THE BLUE LOTUS

I always feel life is crazy... And my belief becomes more stronger day by day when I live on it.... When it becomes crazier we forget to live life on our own terms...Instead of listening to our own heart, we start listening to others. And there comes a time when we start losing ourselves....

But doing the thing we love gives us inner peace, strength and joy... Once I liked to walk holding hands of my dears and nears....Cracking jokes and playing pranks n all....Seeking for approval and asking for their opinion on every single moment in my life...

But now I prefer to stand all alone and stay away from the crowd..Likes and dislikes changes... Old things are cherished and new memories are made...Now I want to be solitary in an island and enjoy the freshness of soft breeze on my face and joy in my soul....I wish to be a vagabond... I want to admire the beauty of nature... Free to wish to do things I love...Once I was die hard fan of Linkin Park, Eminem and Shakira but now I want to listen soft and soothing melodies of Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar...Sing so loud and dance carefree.......Now I don't want to impress anyone neither want to please everyone.I just want to live life on my own terms and in my own style...I don't want somebody to impose rule on me... I just want to close my eyes and open my heart to realise what's happening inside me... I don't want to be one in the crowd, I want to be that BLUE LOTUS which stands alone in the lake but never loses its charm... I want to be "ME'' - the real me....

बूँदें

बूँदें 

जिस क्षण सलिल से होली,
ईश्वर के आँगन में खेली जाती है।
तत्क्षण ईश्वर के चरणों से निकली वारि,
वर्षा बन वसुधा की प्यास बुझाती  है।

देखो वर्षा की बूँदों को ,
तरल , सुकोमल , उन्मादों को ,
नभ से धरा तक विचरती हुई ,
 सुर - संगीत सजाती है।

एक रेशमी डोर  बन वर्षा की बूँदें ,
सृष्टि के दो भिन्न - अभिन्न अंगों को ,
"व्योम को वसुमति" के बँधन में
बंधना सिखलाती है।

It's my life so.......... mind your own business....

It's my life so.......... mind your own business....

Woke up one night...

with a question in my mind..

Is my life really mine?

And other's need to mind their own business..

Or I'm rather being controlled by the remote-control in 

someone else's hand..

Started pondering my thoughts, 

looked at the picture of a deity on my bedroom's wall.. 

The deity was looking and smiling at me...

Deep in my thoughts, I wondered again..

Is the deity smiling at my worry or, she is the one who is trying to guide me

 with the answers inside me..
