BEYOND EXPECTATION!

I never thought I would get even one...but I got three !!!

God!!! I can't believe my luck!!! I never imagined my life would change like this!!!

I am feeling like a bowler who is afraid of getting hit for 4s & 6s...but gets a hatrick!!!

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...

A TALE OF THREE PHOTOS

THE CREATION

THE CELEBRATION

THE IMMERSION

INDIA:TODAY & TOMORROW

I ve nothing to say...Look @ the photo carefully...It says

everything...

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...""

THE CALLING

This is a wonderful poem ,written by one of my truest friends, Padma...

" wats der within me???

some dreams dat had gone to sleep

some desires dat r so deep...

dat wish i made to touch d sky...

to flap my wings n fly...

dat wing which took me long away frm d soil i belong...

some day this wing will tell me whr to go...

to a mystic land of silence n solitude...

where lies an ocean of hope n triumph...

to that land of mine...

whr lay all my dreams waiting to be made true...

wats der within me???

I wonder ll i get this ans smday...

or live this dream all d way......"

I found this poem really wonderful .It gives me hope and power to be ambitious, because dreams are like the breath of human being.We can not live and stay in this life without having dream to achieve and realise it.Thank you for your advice I will always keep it in my mind.

MY TAKE ON "FAMOUS QUOTES" (2)

Few days ago,i found the following popular saying on some one's t-shirt:

"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to INVENT him."

I thought about it...then i felt something is missing...so,i added:

"If God exists,it would be necessary to DISCOVER him."

(what i mean is:mere belief in God is not enough...you ve to find Him n bring Him to ur life...)

What do u think??...Arent i right??

A THOUGHT ON TOMORROW

I ve seen my life...

Let me tell you how it has shaped up so far...

I clearly remember those days when i was in class 9th ...

My english teacher had taught us the following poem:

".....Trust no future,however pleasant,
Let the dead past bury its dead.
Live,live in the living present,
Heart within and God overhead....."

Actually,i was not matured enough to understand its underlying meanings...just used it for getting good marks in essays...n then,with time, i forgot...

But now, when i am remembering those days,i can say that i have atleast understood some part of it...

I ve really messed up so far by the idea "Kal karenge....Kal dekha jayega...."

DO u know how long i ve been waiting for that "kal"...???

i think since class 7...seven long years ve passed...it has still not arrived...Now i realise it will never arrive...because IT DOESNOT EXIST...

I think,with time, i ve found the answer to all the following questions:

-Why i read like a mad guy the day before the xam...
-Why i write records just before the lab begins...
-Why i always rush to the college...
-Why i dont get time to do things i like...
-Why i cant do things the way i want...

Time,i feel,has stopped for me for a while...When i look back i feel i ve a GOOD past...When i look ahead i feel i ve a BETTER future...But when i look into the very moment i feel i am at my best...

MY TAKE ON "FAMOUS QUOTES" (1)

They all say "Josh mein Hosh nahin khona chahiye...."

But i would say"Hosh mein Josh nahin khona chahiye...."

ha ha ha.....liked it??

FROM MY DIARY...

I am now posting my first blog.......So really confused about what to write........Then suddenly the thought came to my mind that i used to maintain a diary when i was in 11th-12th.....

When i am looking @ the pages, i am really amazed that such thoughts have gone through my mind.....

My Diary
Thurs Day
26 april 2007

"...........There is a place, deep inside you, that is filled only with the things you have allowed to come in.One day your innermost imaginings will become your outermost reality.Whatever is on the inside will soon be on the outside,and will indeed define who you are.Make positive use of that control you have over your deepest,innermost self.Fill the inside with goodness,with love,with the best you can imagine.For what you keep inside,is what you do become............"

I really dont remember the source of this,but does that matter.....??
