JUMBLED WORDS




When i was in school, i was asked many times such type of questions:


Make a meaningful sentence using following words:


night..ipod..friend..stars..music..train..novel..


Forget about the question...


Look at each word...


Each of the words excite me...I could never think that they would all come together until few nights ago...


It was last thursday...I was going to home after a long time (well,three months is long for me!).


I was very excited...and was planning about what to do in next three days(i had a very short vacation for deewali).


I was seating on side lower berth...I had a novel in my hand and ipod in my ears(i can do both things simultaneously!)...I was taking short intervals between chapters and chatting with my friends...it was night time and in the mean time i looked out through the window...it was a star-studded sky...Suddenly i found out that i was living those words...i thought as if i were possessing everything...


The next few fours went in looking at the sky...

LIFE IS A JOURNEY



I know all of us know about this phrase and have realised the true meaning of it some time or other...

Still then,I am writing about this because I found something really new...

"There are two types of people...Those who travel & Those who dont !"

Great thought...

So make sure you are moving on...and one more thing...Allow your spirit to guide you and you will never lose your way...

THE NEEDS


Do you know what you really need or what you really want from life???

If yes,then you must be happy and you should keep chasing.....But sometimes,we just dont know what we really need... Something like this happened to me few days ago...

It was a day cricket fans like me will always remember...India beat Srilanka in the final to lift the Compaq Cup and the Hero was none other than the master himself,Sachin Tendulkar...

I was glued to the tv in our hostel common room when Sachin was displaying his superb class...

I was almost sitting there for nearly two hours and enjoying the contest...
But,in the mean while,I felt bad,terribly bad...I was choking...my eyes were on tv screen,but I could not watch it properly...I was only hearing the screaming of my friends...my mind had almost stopped working...Sachin was about to score another century...still then why i was not enjoying the game...I missed something which I did not know...

Thankfully,one of my friends,sitting next to me, asked me if i needed water...I nodded...then drank a full bottle of cold water...haaaaaaa......

Oh my God!...I was back to normal..!!!

After some time.....

A punch off Mendis past mid off took Sachin to 99 ,and a single pinched through cover took him to three figures for the 44th time... A raise of the arms...A wave of the bat to the dressing room...A lingering look at the heavens...

By that time all of us in our common room were standing on our feet and screaming out of sheer joy...I was feeling ecstatic...I thought that I were in Heaven as I was looking @ GOD himself in the form of SACHIN !!!

I must say all of my joy would have vanished if I didnt get that bottle of water ...!!!...Infact,all I needed that moment was water!

Well,it was just a small incident...but the lesson I learnt from it holds true for bigger things in life also...

So,make sure what you really want...then go for it...it is as simple as that...

THE ROAD




I was happily travelling along the road...I had really good companions...I was enjoying the journey...

But I made only one mistake:I was not looking ahead...soon what happened that I was surrounded by other travellers who were looking bigger than me...I was worried when I looked sidewards...I was lost...I lost touch of my fellow companions...and then the road appeared dark...I walked with my head down...

I dont know how I got this message..."Look upwards"...I moved my head up...looked skywards...slowly all my fears melted away...I felt better...The road appeared brighter...

After some time,all those big fellows vanished...I found myself again...I didnt repeat my mistake...I looked ahead...

Surprisingly,I got back my lost companions...I found myself happily travelling again...

KUNG-FU-GYAN


I got a chance to watch Kung Fu Panda again last night.

I really loved n enjoyed the movie...

Although it is a visually interesting sweet comedy movie,the timeless gyan it provides is awesome...

It's a coming-of-age tale about a humble panda destined for greatness. Po,the panda,a lowly waiter in a noodle restaurant,is kung fu fanatic n always dreams of being a great kung fu fighter(although his shape doesnt allow).....the story tells about how he then becomes the great Dragon Warrior of the Valley of Peace.....

But what i found really inspiring is all those cliches,which are beautifully woven around the plot....(most of them from the wise Master Oogway...)

So m summing up all those witty lines here again...(in the order they appear in the movie)


#We all ve our places in this world.

#Nothing is impossible.

#One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.

#Your mind is like water...When it is agitated,it becomes difficult to see...But if you allow it to settle,the answer becomes clear...

#There are no accidents.

#If we never try,we ll never know.

#You are too concerned with what was and what will be...

#Yesterday is history.Tomorrow is mistery.But today is a gift.That is why it is called present.

#A real warrior never quits.

#You ll never fulfill your destiny until you let go of the illusion of control.

#May be it can.....if you are willing to guide it...nurture it...believe in it...

#You just need believe.....You must believe....

#The mark of a true hero is humility.

#The secret ingredient is.........nothing.There is no secret ingredient.......It's just YOU........To make something special,you just ve to believe it's special.......


Too many cliches...??

But i guess Paulo Coelho would comment.....""It teaches as it delights...""
