Untold, Untouched yet it is Felt..

Was hearing the Song by Michael Jackson - " We are the World, We are the Children, We are the Ones to make a Brighter day so lets start Giving"

There are so many Beautiful things around us which are " Untold, Untouched but yet we Feel them". If just once we take time to look around even when we are driving past to go somewhere ,  we find so many such times when we feel but are we not just driving past!


Life is exactly the same drive. We have to move but we do not have time to make changes in Our path to make it beautiful.


Take a little while to get things just right your way. We certainly have a beautiful life but its our take on it. LIVE HAPPY, BE HAPPY and MAKE OTHERS HAPPY!


IT IS NOT DIFFICULT!  :-)


This is just the start... The Journey continues......

A Whirlwind …. Peace Demanded….

The whirlwind of Life where no words could define,

Where the heart says the truth and it conflicts the mind.

Where decisions are taken and tested with time,

Where peace is demanded and does not live by your side.

 When one looks around and a path needs to be decided,

It’s the moment of truth that leads you to the guidance.

It’s the realization of the Life that you want to lead,

Unbiased by every side ,that requires to be treaded.

It requires the courage and confidence in you,

To make the first step work for you.

It requires in you the Will to be at peace,

Or to succumb to the Whirlwind, that drifts you with ease.

There will be not one, but enormous of these,

The times when we let others to lead.

It is such a time when the need arises,

To believe either your Heart or your Mind.

Its this very hour of time when decisions are taken,

To Be yourself or fall in with the other kinds.

Let not the Whirlwind drift you apart,

Make use of the energy it carries,

To give you a start.

Let  the Start be your Motto  in Life ,

To build a Home of your very own kind.

Where Peace is not demanded

But loves to reside,

In the very Home that can give it Happiness and Pride.

IF I COULD CHANGE.....

Given a choice to change, frankly I went Blank for a while. Then a Question Popped up- Why am I blank?!!!  Is it because I have nothing to change (surely not true I said) or was it too many things that I just did not know Where to start and where to end  it (Now that feels better, Lol!). A Cup of tea, a talk with my heart and my little brain said, “Buddy, you were right when you felt you want  so much to change”! 

Let me very humbly first  let you know that the words below may not be liked by a few of you , some of you may want to stop reading . Some of you are just still reading on and some of you have mixed feelings – Read or Stop reading is running through your mind, Right! Sorry Friends, but this was important to write because- For those who are still reading- this is the change I want to see happen.  It is called “ Patience , Tolerance and Adaptability to Take  Action for the Good to Happen” . Yeah It indeed is a lot of change  and practically impossible to get. But If I say- Can I start with myself now, I am sure that’s a bit of a Relief !

So, we all like to pass the baton to the one who started to think of a change.  This is how it has been 99 out of the 100 times.  But when the 01 time left when people could have like mindedness happened- we saw the revolution take place. Good and Bad both Revolutions. Then be it Hitler, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, or recently, Anna Hazare , Barrack Obama to come in Power…

Sadly Revolution for Good happened less –Example of a good one can be  whenever a Country is given freedom.  But once Freedom Given it cannot be left to the new Government formed or in hands of those few. A Change and a Positive one will only happen if all the people come together to make a New Home for them to live. If we see our Country after Independence , what is there right now?

We are still in a stage of development. With so many Cultures and Traditions and the Caste systems and the mindset of those who treat Humans based on Caste , Religion and the age old rituals, where are we heading towards?  We still have the Girl Child being killed, Literacy rate still not a good picture , Women not Safe to walk the streets alone and dominated by the horrible Stingy Men folk, Terrorism at its highest and going stronger , Youth into addiction and not decisive to take action because we have no Structured system in place. They are in a stage of confusion as when they are growing up they find Goodness has no Value. Parents are the ones who are responsible to inculcate Values in the Children, sadly Parents have no time and the only thing they see around is uncertainty. So we leave Our Children with the Nannies and expect good values to be there in Our Children. It’s so Disgusting to me!

Certainly Good is also happening but we see so much of Bad that Goodness has lost its value . We have to adapt to the New times. We have no choice… Either Change or silently perish but not at the Cost of our  GOOD VALUES. I say GOOD VALUES because I also believe that our parents Values held true in their times and I respect them but I have seen a World my way too. And if I am sure that the Change I want will be a Happy Change even if it takes some time for my parents to accept, I will go ahead.  This is the confidence that is needed in the Youth today. There are Extreme cases too who are too adventurous so they must realize that You can use fire to warm you but you never know when it comes up in flames to burn you! Beware…Excess of Everything is Bad…

Can you trust anyone blindly? Count the ones you can and then the reality strikes in! Even if we have a few names , we are still doubting.  Oh , this is not the World we want to live in. For those who have to say here, This is the real world , May I ask who made it this way? Its we humans , right? So if we want , WE HAVE IT IN US TO MAKE THE CHANGE HAPPEN!  BUT , IF ONLY WE WANT!

Ok , there are lot of difference of opinions here  as well here ,but why do we not have the Courage to take action against the Wrong and try to make a change ? What is stopping us and WHY ? We want to get things done quickly (no Patience!) even if it may not have a positive effect , we have intolerance towards so many things and we are not wanting to Change(Non Adaptability!) . We so easily say, I am not going to change , Why should I ? Oh come on, if we do not rise up to take charge then we also do not have the right to Complain about things around us . We are the only ones who can solve our own problems.

If each one of us could once realize that Change will take place inevitably but to have a Structured Positive One we all have to stand up and do a bit of our Good work…. We surely will see things work our way.

A Stop Press came my way just before I was posting –

When I was young and free, my imagination had no limits. I dreamed of changing the world.

 As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the World had not changed, so I shortened my Sights somewhat and decided to change only my Country.

As I grew into my Twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me.

But alas, they would have none of it.

And now as I lay on my deathbed, I suddenly realize. If I would have only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family. From their Inspiration and Encouragement I would then have been able to better my country and Who Knows-

I may have even changed the World!

I will go on and on with this but this is what I believe in as Tagore wrote- Where the Mind is without fear and the Head is Held high. Where Knowledge is free. Where the World has not been broken up into fragments by Narrow domestic Walls. Where the Clear Stream of Reason has not lost its way into the dreary dessert sand of dead habit. Into that Heaven of Freedom my Father… Let my Country Awake!

"Find your way Out"

Very So often we are on a Path that we know is pain but will eventually bring happiness , It is certainly the other way round as well when we are on a beautiful fun filled path and we are prepared that in the end its going to be painful. Either ways its the Journey that matters and not the destination. 

What must be the feeling of young soldier who has been sent on War for the very first time? He has to be there facing the enemy right in front and fulfilling his duty . He does not know he will Win the War or Loose it but he does his duty. We can only imagine how his heart may be feeling at that point of time .After all we all have a Conscious no matter who it is , a Saint or a Murderer , and Conscious never lies. This Soldier may come back with anything or may perish, the End is uncertain but what he did was to fulfil his duty. It was the Will to go on and on till anything could happen. Yes anything ....I find this uncomfortable to say being so secure in my home ...but there they are doing it every single time they have to.

Pain and Laughter are there just with the unknown destination . Today we may feel we have planned our years well and we will be happy but it may not be so. Can we guarantee our future ? I am afraid no one can ever and those who think they have are living in an Artificial World , a Hypothetical World of Bubbles that will never last forever. Sadly the Good times will fly off and they will be left to only say "I WISH I DID THIS...I WISH ...AND I WISH.........There will certainly be endless wishes . 

So is the Journey to whatever we are facing the Most Important. Yes it indeed is. Nothing eventually lasts forever. What lasts is the journey that you wish to take in your stride. Imagine if we were lost in a jungle , what would be our action?  . 

This is exactly what we have to do. "Find Our Way Out"! Whether in Pain or Laughter, keep moving . There will be hurdles everywhere when you may want to give up and this happens in times of pain but once you accept the pain it makes you feel at peace and makes you a stronger person . 

We have This Life to Owe Good or Bad. Things may not be as we want, People will hurt us  , We may loose materialistic things but We all " Find Our way out" . When there is a Beginning there has to be an end. Is it not good to say - " Ask God not to decrease your pains but to make you a Stronger person to face them".We will be fools asking God to keep us happy forever. Accept Life and only Plan to be Stronger day by day . Enjoy the Journey, Learn your Lessons and I am sure the End will be ALWAYS ALWAYS HAPPIER! 

Video Game Called- Time Game of God and Man......

A small Video Game for Life taking the present scenario of life as most of us are living.

The game is named –  Time Game of God and Man

No. of Players- Unlimited

Names of Players- Your own name

Choose between- Good or Bad

Number of Lives- 01

Rules-  The choice -Good has only 2 Players , one is you yourself and the other God. The Bad has unlimited players that you want to choose. You even have the option to kill them or leave them when you do not need them and you can also get back but only 1 out of them  back who will be by your side at the end of the game.The Game has no winners but it does have a Certificate at the end of the game for you!

Caution- The Game can be played only once and has no Cheat codes so your Name Certificate will be given only once . You cannot pause and renew the game in between and you have 1 hour to play this game.

And so we start choosing.

Good – Yeah we all want to be the Good  but we all are good in real lives Right , 

So lets select –BAD ! And there are so many friends out there as many as I want....

And we press – START

As the game progresses we keep trying and moving on . We hear conversations like:

Hey someone just betrayed me , and you hear someone say-  Oh live on dear , that’s life.

You know my friend just brought a convertible car. And you hear, Hey, Don’t worry its just a matter of time when I will have one or I shall get this very car !

The News is full of Corruption! And you hear, Big deal, how do you think they will be able to live up to the rising expenses.

Lol , this is actually our life , Right dear?The Game eventually Ends and lets now discuss the certificate.

So we all know and cannot deny this Game called- “Time Game of God and Man”. We are all here playing our roles as we choose. Did you hear this friends- “AS WE CHOOSE” ?

We are forced by circumstances and maybe sometimes not and we take our very own Choice and decision to choose the way of life .. Struggle in Loneliness by being Good or enjoy company of friends who are Friends just for namesake.

We are living in a Virtual World. We are so happy with technology around us. We express ourselves with the emoticons on our mobiles and that suffices for our distances we share with the Loved ones. Pardon my words that I never use but want to use here- HELL IT IS! Can you express the feeling of a Smile or Hug by a Virtual media ? Its just a way to accept a fact that atleast we are in touch ! Fair enough, but that’s also the reason of the detachments one is so easily able to have. Divorce, infidelity, Heartbreaks, Depressions , Insecurity…..Is the ultimate result in the real World.

Oh yes we do have Skype, G-talk etc where we can see each other but that is Virtual too. We have internet marriages too. Now this makes me laugh at the fact that if one does not have the time to come for one’s own marriage , what the hell is this person upto?

And we have the people who are choosing to Hack data and enemies are getting all the secrets .Terrorism , Corruption , Mafias …all are having the best times of their lives.

Our Generation wants exposure –more and more and more. Very fine one should but not at the cost of doing Wrong, to ANYONE

Well saying more than that I am in a concern how mechanical our lives have become. As I am writing this Blackberry services are not working since 2.52 pm precisely from 10 Oct ’11, as that’s when I used my BBM last and waiting for a reply I did not get one. Later Confirmed from Hyderabad, Maharashtra and Chattisgarh, nowhere BB services are active on any server. Only by today morning we got to know the RIM Problem from Blackberry Company all over Asia , Middle East, Europe.Yet there are disruptions on. (Can you see how dependent I am too , coz if I am not,  I loose the Game of Life, obviously who wants, so am forced by my own Will!)

The age Blackberrys, I- Pads , Tablets and you name them all are here  . There is no dearth of information available as the world has been shrinking at a pace like never before.Yeah the age of Internet and Intranet!

As the shrinking grows faster, do we ever realize that its also making us so very vulnerable . We are sharing information about every small thing we are upto. Be it at home, at office or even a walk , the addiction of bbm or chat for that matter has become so very stylish. We instead of living in the real world are very contented with the Virtual world. And this is the major cause of the vulnerability. The children, teenagers all of them take life as a Game and its just the Start and End .The Game just happens to move as we move it.

We have heard innumerable MMS Scams, Data Hackings , Phishing etc. Are we not smart enough to know that this could be by the enemy countries also. Our dearest Parliament wants to digitalize everything , yeah that’s cool but man what about the privacy ? Our Country secrets can be so easily deciphered to the enemies and we will be taken in by surprise.

THE TECHNOWAR GAME - Time Game of God and Man has BEGUN and the 01 Life we have is ticking!  We have no eraser than to just move on and try and rectify our mistakes as much as we can.

 THE JOY STICK IS WITH US , CHOOSE YOUR GAME PLAN TO BE GOOD AND DO'NT FORGET THE CERTIFICATE AWAITS AFTER THE END....

Reborn ---Of Birth and Rebirth as a Human Soul

Do you believe in rebirth? This is surely debatable if wanted so lets have the two sides to talk on those who believe and those who do not.

Here I have to put forward my apologies that I am still learning and reading on this so its just my side and an infant stage thought ...The search is on.... Definitely you have your side and we know there is always the right side ! Lets get started: 

Believe- Yes we believe in Rebirth . Our Body is just the physical being but its the soul which is the life. Our soul comes to learn lessons in this world and its like starting from Kindergarten and till one reaches a level where there is Moksha . But the soul does take rebirths before attaining Moksha.

Not Believe- It is a saying that being born a Human is the last journey of a Soul. Having said that, we will have all happiness and sufferings here itself when we are living . So there is no Rebirth.

Believe- If we consider the aspect that there are times we have heard small children who have already got a knowledge of some language which exists and they can recollect their past lives. Does it not simply prove our point?

Not Believe- There have been such cases but they cannot be proved to be correct. It has to have some real evidence and how many can actually provide it? Most of the cases remain mysteries so how can one be convinced that its a case of Rebirth?

Believe- There are cases which give proof. Search for it and you will see so many proofs and evidences that give the Belief its meaning.

Not Believe-  See as mentioned , The Soul in Human form is its last journey, It can be agreed upon that a rebirth from some other life form may happen. But to be born a Human Soul again its not proved properly.

Believe- Then what about the fact then that the very evidences have been verified. There are cases when the previous life parents are alive and have to believe when every little thing matches their son/ daughter or whatever relation?

There can be no end but somewhere we all have our notions, our teachings from Vedas and Upanishads .About Yoni's and the list is endless. My take on it is,I believe in Human Soul Rebirth  and of the concept of Moksha but I have to give meaning to my strong belief. I read a book "The Law of the Spirit World " by Khorshed Bhavnagri and it has increased my understanding of the very concept of rebirth. As I mentioned ...The search is still on............................................................

Its just to believe THE RIGHT SIDE WILL ANYWAYS PREVAIL--;-)

STATUS OF WOMEN AND OPEN MINDEDNESS DURING THE BRITISH RAJ… HOW IT HAS BEEN INTERPRETED TODAY

 An Inspiration from the ERA of my Grandparents who are my Best friends! 

Those were the days my friend, I thought they’d never end ….And as the story went on my grandmother and Grandfather started to tell me their bygone Era. No wonder I always found them to be more understanding than my Parents at most times-  ROFL !– Read how-

My Grandmother started–“We used to live in Multan in Pakistan and were travelling back to Quetta when my Uncles Friend tagged along with him just for fun.  In the midway the friend asked my uncle…Who is this young girl? My Uncle told him and that was the time he (my grandfather!) fell for me.”
I asked my Grandfather – Nana did you actually fall in Love? Blushing and smiling he said- “She was very dark in complexion and I was very fair , She was from a very poor family and I was the Son of a renowned well to do Professor but what struck me was her simplicity and intelligence so when my Lalaji (Grandfather’s Dad) was approached and he asked me I said yes”. Further he said- “My father was a Professor and had studied from Lahore University. He was a very open minded person and for him complexion,  status, nothing mattered and he was a very secular person.” I thank my Great Grandfather that I got to be Family with such a wonderful Couple ! 

They waited for 5 long years for marriage not knowing each others whereabouts during partition, but they were meant to be !  They are in their 64^th year of marriage still going Rock Solid! May God Bless them always! (Touch wood!)

Then they mentioned about Partition . That’s when there was so much of fear . It  gripped the entire nation , especially those who were to move to their divided Motherlands .It changed  the minds of the people from being Open minded to becoming fearful and narrow minded . No matter what but people were constantly under vigilance and fear and it was not safe for anyone to move around freely. Immediately after Independence also , things were settling down but the fear was there of the brutality of the partition times . Girls were not allowed to come in the main streams . To keep earning members Boys were preferred and girls were aborted (The craze for boy child was there during the British Raj too but they did not kill any child just kept on having more children till they had a boy)  

My Mother and her sisters were highly protected and though all studied in the best schools they were not given the freedom that we get now. [Here I would mention that my Grandmother was a daughter of an Engine Driver in the Railways yet she studied till Prabhakar (Equivalent to Honours ) and was a teacher but after partition and independence she was only inclined to the house because of  fear inspite of having very open minded In-Laws]

Coming back to the fear , Men had to take the forefront in such a scenario. Only few Women who were daring enough were at par with the Men. But this started to dwindle and women were confined totally to household chores. Even if they were allowed to go to school they would be married off and the studies were not at all important. This resulted in uneducation of the women and lowering their status in society.            

What happened if Men were asked to sit home ? I am sure they would land up in the same scenario as the Women have! Now even in the changing times  Women have come into the mainstream again OR should I put it THEY ARE,  BUT NOT YET FULLY ARRIVED ! We are still fighting for equality; we are still in a Male Dominated World. No I am not a feminist but I am talking facts .

Ask Parents who are in the age of 50-60 to go against society to make things better –Not many would dare take a risk and do that. The deterioration of the 64 years of Independence has taken a bigger toll of negativity  than the positivity. We have Corruption because its what these age of 50-60 years of politicians and people who  saw their parents post independence  say MONEY IS EVERYTHING because it really were tough times when a family of 8-10 children were to be brought up and they had a poor childhood. These children grew up to understand that being Happy was only when one had lots of money so they Made money , SAVED MONEY and that greed still Continues!

Ask 75 plus who saw times prior independence and their answer would be – Do what gives you happiness, Society will anyways not be yours totally. Look to your family and be firm in your decisions, Society will accept and keep their mouth shut. People in the Grandparents Era were Self Made People and so they had qualities of leadership in them. Even Women were really Bold.

And so what happened to the more future generations – In times now we see parents Working and giving no time to their children. They certainly fulfill the wishes of the children but  its all around Money. Parents also want to live their lives and catch up on their childhood fantasies of freedom which they were denied and Children  take up those habits most of the times in a wrong way.

Tough we are heading to a BETTER WORLD but  instead of taking the positive from our Grandparents times we are only learning to live what we have been watching our parents do. MONEY AND SOCIETY COMES FIRST , FEELINGS COME SECOND AND SO WE HAVE SO MANY TROUBLED RELATIONSHIPS.

If given a choice how many would agree to get their children marry a Dark Partner as my Grandfather was  or if not complexion then  in a different caste , age difference or from a Lower Status of Society? Would you even like the fact that they fell in Love ? Forget about Love or Marriage ITS ALL A PROBLEM OF GOING AGAINST SOCIETY WHICH IS NOTHING BUT A FORTRESS WHICH BINDS PEOPLE AND STOPS TO CHANGE EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE FOR THE BETTER.

I have to say- WE ARE ALREADY DEVELOPED FINANCIALLY,  WE NEED TO DEVELOP OUR MINDS, THEN ONLY CAN WE HAVE A TOTALLY DEVELOPED NATION ! HELP THE NEW GENERATIONS TO BE ETHICAL AND GIVE RIGHTFUL CHOICES AND WE WILL BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NATION THE WORLD WILL ENVY!

With due respects for all parents am troubled by the fact that New Generations are not evolving with the Right Thoughts and have Conflicting Personalities. Hence they land up into Drug abuse, Alcoholism, Suicides, Broken Relationships and all they long for is Peace within themselves. Sad Part is sometimes they are not sure what their parents would like and hide their true personalities . They  go with the flow as per their thought process fearing parents denial . In the bargain they  leave their own  happiness only to be living a life to make adjustments! Sadly even if once they get a feeling that they would be better off going their way, they have fooled only themselves. Parents will be there for sometime but happiness will suffer in the bargain! 

FINALLY, I put up a Question for you all - BE TRUE TO YOURSELF – You are your own Lie detector ….

Are we Open minded than our Grandparents times, The British Raj  or have we shrunk ourselves into the adjustments that Society Pressures (which Parents fear so we too fear)  and MONEY GAME has brought in current Times ?

Would Love to get views to be able to understand Better ……
