My Tryst With Poetry

En dino ek chahat si rehti hai,
En dino ek bagabat si rehti hai.

Halaat aise bane hai doston ki
din begaane se aur raatein anjaani si lagti hai.

Ek phikr si rehti hai madhim roshni ke daaman mein,
Ek jikr si rehti hai en yaadon ke aangan mein.

Kya woh pal laut ke aayenge,
Kya phir iss sune mann mein panchi chah chahayenge.

En dino ek chahat si rehti hai...
En dino ek chahat si rehti hai..............

(This poetry is written by me on the night of system programming orals, things went badly in the morning and i'm feeling very lonely at night, and hence this from direct dil se).

Truth itself hides the Truth


Is truth just a pursuit of happiness or enchanting wisdom of power. Sometimes it covers a great deal, the truth. It covers another truth which is far more persuasive and elusive than the one seen above.........the truth itself hides the truth....it demonstrates it's ability to torment souls within to move to the sides of ocean. To go beyond space to reveal it's own true self.


Once a truth is found out another one is deserted, to be thrown in the silent corridors of darkness. Sometimes they are more important like..........like the friendship which hides love or painting hiding the bare walls. Both are true. Though wall is the most indispensable necessity................


so the next time you witness or hear a truth........think what it is hiding behind. Because truth itself hides the truth.

Another Way of Life


From desire comes greed, selfishness and wrong doing. It has a venomous tendency to lead the way to anger, lust, confusion, egoism, showing off, malice, hatred, revenge, shamelessness, pride, mistrust, lies, gluttony and violence. Affection and desire are complementary, affection can also lead us to dark side. when you have affection towards some person or thing, it eventually paves the way for possessiveness and sense of pride.

So how should this be avoided. This is the question I'm asking myself from a long time which would pave the way for another way of life. Simple way is not to look for fame anywhere, just go on doing the work you like most, just go on for creativity. Competition creates malice sometimes. Don't compete with others, compete with yourself. You will eventually defeat those whom you compete with. Then with whom you will compete.

Take inspiration. When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person you ever dreamed yourself to be. Great dreamers dreams are never fulfilled, they are always transcended. Let it be transcended.

There are no mistakes in life only lessons. There is no such thing such as negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self mastery. From struggle comes strength. Even pain can be a wonderful teacher. Don't regret of anything you have done in your life, don't ever feel guilty about it. Though it may sound absurd but it will take you towards the another way of life.

Ethical way of movies



The amazing world of movies have so many virtual effects in them that they subsidise your thoughts at your will. You want to be taken to the world of virtual reality in spite of the real world.
Some of the best of them teach us so much, they do the things which a movie should do. They show that variety of imagination
and creativity which couldn't be found in any other field. Someone had said: you look for fame u lose your soul, if you look for creativity you will find it. And yes some people has achieved it, they had searched for creativity and they had made themselves immortal. They had looked beyond the path shown to them, they had looked beyond the things thought to them.When i had seen MATRIX, i thought how could some person can think so well. How could they define people with program, how could they correlate all of the world with a program which is used to keep human minds as slaves. How can someone even think of the extra ordinary brilliance in which things such as these have been correlated.
One of my favourite ones like SWADES show the way of life of majority of people who lives in india and abroad. SWADES is to near too reality, the village seems real, the behaviour of people is real, the way people still thinks in rural india is real. How the caste system still has it's effects and why the people like mohan bhargava leave their country and then say that nothing will be changed in their country. Off course he comes back ultimately to parry the evil. He fought it out taking it as his own failure and eventually he paves way for others.
Then theirs LAKSHYA (mine other favourite one). It's not my favorite due to the action scenes or so but how it truly depicts the love life of a sloth and how he is transformed. Since their is no major problem between him and the actress but he still keep himself away from her after becoming lieutenant. what's the big reason. It's not hatred, it's just the potential to keep you away from someone whom you loved most. To have the feeling to lost them and to never return to them. To keep the pain to yourself and to never show it.
Then their are so many others like RDB which do the things a movie should do. It told us about a fighter aircraft which is inducted into indian airforce in 1962 and is nicknamed "flying coffin" is still in service after nearly 45 years. Why because some (most will be more appropriate) politicians give in their country for money. The plane which is to replace it and started for development in 1983 is still miles away from production phase. And offcourse when it will be inducted it would had been obsolete. Our young pilots will still die in these vulnerable crafts because the fighter planes technology will be more superior to them at that time.
I'm not a movie buff and i would never be one but their are some specimens that show us the way which one have to follow. These types of movies are rare but at least some people still have the courage to make them.

Essence of Thoughts

Sometimes obsessed with quintessence thoughts i retract and find myself in unworthy situations as how to entangle the odd ties which give me so intense pleasure, so uncharismatic enthusiasm that i felt perturbed to come down from the dream.

yet with the hold of unforgiven dream i find reality on my door steps every now and then. Why it happens that i want myself to be secretive but still go on to show off. Why i can't hold my self sometimes when their is wrath and anger in me. Why i felt like to be admired when i haven't done anything to get it. Do every person feels like me?

Is their any sense of pride left in this world. Do people still stand up to their dream or they just broke down in the middle like thousands others do every day to the system which takes them no where. Which marrs their soul of guilt for rest of their life, of which they only hate them self and go on to retain it even knowing that it is taking them away from reality. Do these people understand that they are not here to secure themselves from those around them but to let them free, to go with their mind, to do the things that were meant to be done, to take pleasure from the things that have been done by themselves like they take pleasure from the first ray of sunlight on mountain top or by watching the river going with them while sitting in a railway carriage or by sensing the act of goodness done upon them. Why people fake reality? Why cant they remain what they are? Why the things so inflammatory are going on this world? Why thoughts in my mind are coming so vigorously and then leaving it without any notice? Sometimes i get 100 different ideas in two minutes and even on one i couldn't work, and mind you all of them are great. Is this an innate or had i hit by a slight touch of megrim.

Still i want people to love me but want them not to be with me. I pride doing things alone but don't want to show aristocracy. I want to be a visionary but don't want to be known like one. I want others to wreck me but still i want to hold on. I want to be a socialite but still want to be away from others. Am i starting to become a philosophical predicament or am i a spiritual sinner. Perhaps a schizophrenic in the making.
