If life can be associated with a song...

This post is for the Indispire topic. The moment I saw the same I was reminded of an old reality show "Indian Idol" the session number have faded from my mind but it was highly appreciated and talked about.

The judge happened to be Anu Malik, Udit Narayan, Alisha Chinoy and Javed Akhtar. The host Mini Mathur one day asked Javed Akhtar what would be your best song which you can describe yourself or which is quite close to your heart. The well known lyricist instantly sung 2 lines of the song

"Main zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya
Har fikr ko dhuyein mein udata chala gaya"

As I looked at the topic I was reminded of this song. How I would wish to live the life as this song lyrics. But definitely being human with my own shortcomings I never accept every situation easily nor do I release my tensions like a puffs of smoke..Definitely this is one of the goals of my life which I have to work on. I have known people careless enough to leave all their tensions and relax till time gives them a hard kick. Some of them though eventually get their things done without taking tensions. But tension is also a driving force. It keeps us aware of the present and let us decide our future.

Life has not been easy for Mr Dev Anand who struggled to become the most evergreen hero of Bollywood. Neither has it been for Mohammed Rafi who sung this song beautifully and with all his vigor. And definitely not for Javed Akhtar whose lyrics and poetry are beyond simple appreciations.
This song is what everyone wants their life to be. To be tension free, to live with no definite planing for future come whatever .

"Barbadiyon ka sokh manana fizul tha
Barbadiyon ka jashn manata chala gaya"

Once mentioned by a famous personality "hereos can do anything, afterall they are heroes." In real life we are supposed to be practical and fully aware of the everything under the Sun. And it is the unconquered will that our mind longs to conquer is what this song is all about.

I would wish to sing this song as an achievement, when I am old enough to have completed  all the duties before bidding this Earth my farewell.

Few more hours is all I need

One of the discussion topics that happened in a gathering of old school friends after a couple of years, was the statement "I wish I had more than 24 hrs in a day."

To that one friend replied that it might mean more hours at office. But the wish for extra time was purely for personal purpose.

For all the working women out there it takes more than half of the day at office and travelling. You wake up in the morning to go to office. You return at night to go to bed and the routine continues.

What if we could get some extra hours so that we can spend talking with parents who longed for their children to do so. We could devote some time for ourselves to do something that interests us. We could connect with our old friends or relatives staying far away.

But alas things will not be so. We will huddle and try to keep everything in place all at a time,which is impossible. Thus we go on curtailing those important things as they occupy lower position in our priority list.Some days we are too tired to speak to our parents. Weekends also bring loads of pending work. Thus our interest seems to take a backstage. Also with facebook or whatsapp we hardly get any time to chat with old friends. In order to stay fit we compromise some hours of our necessary sleep.
We cannot leave our jobs, nor can we curtail its timings everyday. We curtail our lists of interest.

I make sure that at least before going to bed I would read few pages of books that are pending to be read. I utilize few times reading while I travel to office. Though my eyes starts complaining as they need few more rests I still carry on because thats the only way how I can keep my interest alive. I would occasionally log into blogging sites to see what the others are upto. As the word goes "The more you read , the more you know"  only to realize that the time is limited. If you dont complete your work on time you have to stretch and do it. As it is you are sleep deprived and stretching extra hours means added pressure to your body and mind.

I wish we could stretch on the personal side also, devoting some extra hours in our day to day activities.But we wont get more than 24hrs and everything has to be on time. 

Thank You God

It was a tough day for me. My health was not good. Too much pressure at office. Its just a day when you dont feel like doing anything and nothing seems to be getting better.

I returned home and sat in the serenity of my bedroom recollecting all the major and minor happenings of my life. What I realized is that I cant be more thankful to God than to anyone else.

As I realized God's decision to reprove me for poor marks was a blessing in disguise for I got a wonderful experience of a hostel life and definitely a sure change was brought in my adaptibility enhancing the adjusting nature further.

I realized that nothing lasts forever as no matter how hard I try some great people are bound to leave.

As correctly pointed out by someone God has His own way of making us understand the importance of good. He has created evil so that we can recognize what is good, he has given us hunger so that we can eat, he has created pride so that we know how and why to remain humble.

I have a lot of questions to God when things never go right, we all do --its human nature , but do we stop and realize when we get the answers? Do we stop for a minute and say Thank you to God when He slowly answers and shows us why His decision is always right?

I read somewhere that miracles happens everyday. Not that I believed it at one go. Its not before one day while traveling to office I was feeling too frail and continuously prayed to God to help me out, then I found my bus to reach the office before the scheduled time so that I can at least relax in the office medical room and get an immediate dose of medicine.

Who says prayers are never answered? They always are. You might be too busy to realize when they do happen.

During college days I asked God to give me a covey of good friends with whom I can have the most sensational life. God gave me 1 good friend who eventually turned out to be my best friend. He was there through all my thick and thins, supporting me , comforting me whenever I needed him.

I smiled at myself when my mind went to a flashback and only one thing which I could utter straight from heart is "Thank you God. Thank you sooooo much."
