At bewilderment to at loggerheads

In the dark dungeons of heart, hollowness prevails. The emotions are too volatile to stay permanently and often change or leave leading to a prevalence of hollowness. Filled with too much of illogical crap and multifaceted opinions, its too much filled and still be as hollow as a galaxy black hole.

There have been many attempts at concretising the views but they still win at perplexing the self. Not to be bewildered by such a state, there is a lookout for more ideas to motivate oneself to frame and give shape to a particular idea. But time seems to work on it and the thought fades away leading to more bafflement.

Tired of such a vicious circle, the mind has come up with an idea. To be at loggerheads with the heart and initiate a journey from bewilderment to a dispute with myself; a dispute, more of a war with everything except the ONE; the one that the heart-mind combo decides now. A decision with no alternative paths and a journey with no stoppages. A well thought of plan and its creative execution. At loggerheads with all the obstructionist forces, arising from within and killing them within..

I wanna go with the jogi

Mother o mother
I made friends with a falcon
I made him a sumptuous cake of grain but he does not eat it,
I fed him with my love

One day he flew off
Never to return to me

              -Wordings from a punjabi folk song...

Oh! Mother, I am in love with the jogi who came to my home and sat stubbornly at  the door. Adorning the bridal mark, i want to go with the jogi. All the pains will vanish with the solace of his embrace.
Sitting there in disguise with a bridal mark, i want to go with the jogi...

God is, God is, God is with me.

You are unique!

Whoever you are, there is some younger person who thinks you are perfect. There is some work that will never be done if you don't do it. There is someone who would miss you if you are gone. There is place that you alone can fill.
                                - Jacob M. Bruade

Who you are? What is the purpose of your life? Why are you even living? Are these the questions that haunt an idle mind or a busy one? As busy as an ant? Industrious just as ants but not really focused towards one ambition. But you try. And that's your only satisfaction. And in the end you should be satisfied which you are. So, that's your life. And you think, and think more and more. And more. And you decide to follow a plan. A plan to glory! The final one. This should work. A hope. 

Whoever you are and whatever you are, you are the best. Because you think. And you listen and you know yourself better every moment. You try, you succeed and you fail. And every morning you get up to succeed. In the single day, you climb up 100 times and fall 200 times and then you rise up again. But you rose up! And you achieved 10% of what you had planned. And you did achieve. And you are seeing the positive side, being a sport. And 12% the next day; you improved. You are happy and you deserve a treat. That's your life. YOUR life with most of YOU in it. 

And that's who you are. And your purpose in life - To make every moment better than the previous one. To rise up every time you fall. To smile and be happy, always..Mostly..And that's what keep you going, the spirit to continue..The motivation to move. The love for your life.

In the name of Pujari Laldas

A ship in harbor is safe - but that is not what ships are for.                                                                                   -John A. Shedd

 If the fear of sinking holds the ship from sailing, the ship is bound to stagnate and even the water at the harbor will become its graveyard. A day will come soon enough when that same ship will be weakened because of its own fears; it wont even be able to withstand the usual waves that move to and fro to the same 
harbor.



For me, Pujari Laldas represented the ship that had the courage to sail in turbulent waters.  Unperturbed and poised by the communally charged environment, he held his views firm and showed resolute endurance that has become truly inspirational for me.

Though he became a victim of the extremist forces and was murdered in early 90s, his views and his voice will always reverberate in my head and he would always be alive for me, in my heart.

True happiness is to rest satisfied with what you have!

Hurdles - They really test you and pulls you out of the comfort zone. They are good in that sense as they grill you and forces you to face them.
As they keeping popping up or not, you always need to be content and satisfied with your life. Thats the only thing that matters really; you ran away from a challenge or you face it; you feel intimidated by a challenge or not, its ultimately your decision and you can correct a wrong decision as well.. You do get chances mostly to grow up.. And so, be easy and be satisfied and value what you have. Thats the way to lead a good life!

Realise your powers and limitations..work towards knowing your inner self; sometimes its good to know that there may be things you cant do, goals you cant achieve than what you can do..Too much restlessness can make you miserable..have the courage to know your genuine self.
