New Year- What is a new year

Every year on 31st Dec night millions of people celebrate new year night by partying and by burning crackers. Crackers are busted at thousands of places to mark the beginning of the new year. Almost all pubs, hotels and restaurants remain full and people throng the all available party spaces to enjoy the beginning of the new calendar year. Little anyone thinks about why we celebrate or what is the significance of the change of date or rather say the change of the year. Some say the new year will bring prosperity and good health and some say the new year will be the best year of their life. But, what actually happens or will happen no one knows. Well, technically if you see, the new year is nothing but a change of calendar date. It is just the 1st day of the year. In western countries since this is so close to Christmas, which is celebrated on 25th Dec, the celebration becomes even more intense. People celebrate the start of the year with full joy and happiness. People pray ...

Steps for higher purpose...

There are things which are beyond our reach. Sometimes, we ourself don't know what lies ahead and what things are not known. Unless someone comes with a surprise and sets the bar higher. Then we realize that there are things which were previously unknown. What prompts people to find those things? Is it sheer determination to be the best in the field? or Is it the passion to find something unique and different? Whatever it may be, but, people always strive for more get success in their endeavors. The one who sees beyond the horizon is not only gifted but, is visionary in the true sense. People are always amazing and when they do things in an amazing manner, we get the best in the world. No doubt, when someone sets the step for the higher purpose and goes all out for that he/she will achieve all that he/she desires. Always dare to challenge yourself. You never know what amazing things are under your control and you can achieve all that is unthinkable at any point in the time. Se...

Failure... and Disappointment...

Disappointment strikes like a lightning-bolt. You lose everything in a matter of time. No matter how much work you have invested in something still you find yourself in the most difficult situation and then everything looks as if you have not put any work to achieve that. Once you touch the low in something and even after months of hard work nothing is achieved, you know you are not made for that. But you know that is the time which makes or breaks a person. Someone will still take that opportunity and convert that into life's gold mine. Look around you and you will see many people. How are they doing it? Are they any special? Yes, on one hand, they achieved whatever they have by sheer determination and on the other, they never gave up. Giving-up or quitting was never an option for them. With determination comes the will and with will comes the path to take for success in life. It is not that someone is special or have superior qualities. The "Champions" breed takes what...

...ignited soul

She stared at the email message on her computer, her mind racing so fast that the words blurred together and no longer made any sense. Just three lines, but enough to make her life--the life she’d worked so hard and sacrificed so much to build--begin to crumble around her. "We work in a company which values hard-work and dedication. A company which values talent. Going by the tradition, today Board of Directors appointed the India Sales Head, Avinash as the CEO of the company. Please welcome, Avinash as our new CEO..." She couldn't read more than this as her eyes were filled with tears and everything became blurred. She never imagined something like this could happen. "Avinash" - the name she can't bear. She can't imagine seeing something like this. There were no thoughts, just a blank, in her mind. As if, someone has lost his/her ability to think. And the more she was trying to think, the number she was feeling. The feeling as if she was walking...

Life Goals

Life goals are something which you desire to achieve and strive for it. It has been said that almost all people on earth have at least one life goal and people strive to achieve that. But, by any means, this number is by far much larger. There are people who don't strive and make and attempts. The reasons can be multiple but again there is a sizable number. The world is full of people those who just want a good life but don't strive for it. Good life or per say good things come with the price tag. Price may not be monetary but efforts in terms of time and energy. Life goals are always worth striving for. No matter what it takes some people go all out and achieve what they desire. When God created life, he created that for the humans to strive and make life better for them. The humans did the same. There was a jungle law - the survival of the fittest. The humans were also the part of the natural law. That prompted and compelled the humans to become fitter and best and that is...

The Biggest Fear

The biggest fear was that he would lose all that he possessed? He was in a dilemma whether to take that step or not. But his entire future was dependent on that. He can't evade this. All he can do is trying knowing things more and more to hedge his risk. But, is he aware of kind of risk he will be in? Is he aware of the life-threatening phases he has to go through? Sometimes, it seems he knows all, yet not ready to recognize, for his mantra of life is-"Will do things as and when they will come". He was a toddler when that terrible incident happened. His young age didn't let him understand what actually happened. All he was told that - "Your Papa will never come back, he went up to the stars". He used to ask people to take him to stars, for his Papa was everything and all he wants was to play with him. Though he loved his mother also, at times she will be cooking the meal for him. Many times he tried to plan a journey to stars but no one would tell him the...

Mundane with Extraordinary

Ordinary or Mundane is something everyone wants to change. All are looking to achieve something extra, which will help people to achieve something in life. Probably rat race is also because of that extra which everyone wants. But, the bigger question is - Can an ordinary thing achieve something by just following mundane tasks and employing a little out of way thing to complete works? Can a person with out-of-book thinking be successful in life? Do we need people to achieve that extra to be counted as a successful person? Let's take the classic example of half-filled glass. People with optimistic approach will say the glass is half-filled glass (well, I am also optimistic). People with pessimistic approach will say the glass is half-empty. There have been many debates on this. People want to know which approach is correct and which should we take to achieve successs. Which approach adds the extra in their life. Well, just to be clear I am optimistic but I look things in very diff...

Shoot that thing...

Shoot that thing Which looks like a King Came with a Knife and Gun To murder unknown for fun Did we lose humanity? Did we reach the limit? What happened to the world Crazy and beyond all Do we need a jolt Or a big halt Just to stop and think Is it all worth the thing? Kill and deceive And without a perceive Is this is it the inception? The myth of perception Humanity is dying And we all are crying... It's high time we need love From someone in neighbor and above Rather shoot we need a boot For us and all we need a grout Of Love and faith Don't shoot that thing Rather love that thing..

The life he wants...

He knows what it takes to be a successful person in this world... He also understands how much job is left and he has to do to be a successful person in this world... But what he does and wants to do are completely opposite of what he desires... Though there is no end to desires and achievements, sometimes, it is best to keep them under wraps. One wrong step and the life is ruined. Papil has similar sorts of clashes in his life. And he is totally clueless about what is happening. Desire is a big thing. One can desire to be as successful as much he wants, but, life does tricks and if one falls into that trap, one becomes something else. Papil desired to be a successful Singer in Rock genre and for that, not a single day passed in the last 10 years when he didn't practice. A small spark can gut a big establishment. A small spark can do a major thing and that is what is happening in Papil's life. He is so focused that he will do-whatever-it-takes approach to achieve his drea...

Powerful Law ... A Bane or Boon

Can powerful laws prevent any crimes and offends? Can sure shot punishment be a safe guard of no new crime and offends? Well, statistical and historical data says so, but it differs in nature and it doesn't guarantee for no-crime-no-offend society. Thailand is one of the most tourist destination countries in the world. Every year millions of tourists visit. But, the question is what attracts so many people? Is it the good law and order? Is it the good behaviour and good conduct of the people that attracts so many tourists? Well, much beyond all assumptions lies a strong justice system. Doesn't matter how powerful you were and how much wealth you have. Doesn't matter how many people support you even if you are corrupt. Judiciary should be free and fair with all. I am not saying it is justice for all in Thailand. But still, the judiciary system of the Thailand has guts to take steps against the corruption. And that too with fear of pronounced justice the culprits are lea...

An evening with a lady...

Wait is just a frame Time is just a game Life is full of fluoro Y'day, today and tomorrow A Day is just a number Morning to night with sombre Evenings are great Charming, Lovely and considerate And a story to formulate A coffee shop A meeting and a lot of stories Where someone finds the glory Tweet and Babble It's not a fable It's a long parable Love and destiny And a perfect company A saga with gleamy When it's an evening with a lady...

The moment when...

I looked at you With optimism in eyes A Feeling run through my spine The moment when ... A piece of master A day of Oscar A lease of life captured and tight The moment when... A sight, a bright A shining, A whining A glamorous, a notorious A good, a bad All look the same The moment when... Righteous things are obvious Fulfilling paths are glorious Still, it holds the breath The moment when... The moment when I am with you...

Lease of life...

Be held in her eyes Khol of her eyes whispers something surprises and many more secrets ready to spill on one thing All she wants is a new lease of life... Eyes see everything Eyes understand everything Eyes say everything Still, eyes are silent today Waiting for just one thing All eyes need is a new lease of life... Kill, deceive and perpetuate Fight, Conceive and obturate For a cause to win For a war to grow thin With all power, just to achieve a new lease of life All she wants is a new lease of life...

One fine day...

One fine day, One lovely day Experienced the one... A life was getting bigger inside me... A sign of love A bloom of happiness... A purity of innocence... Life has changed in the whisk of a word... When heard it for the first... Is it what happens? A feeling of selflessness Now living for the one... getting bigger in my womb... Such is life when you give it a try Never feel loneliness... Remember there will be someone And you will change for the one... You made it with love A life is going for the one... One fine day, One lovely day I start living for the one...

Life's Goal

.... The sign of having initial thoughts is ... (blank)... what does it say? Does this mean a blank is a start of the avalanche of thoughts? Do thoughts are also captive inside like a barrage holding water? Whenever the gate breaks or opens water rushes and comes out in full force. The human mind is also like that. Sometimes we go blank, the next moment we are full of thoughts and ideas. What happens in those moments? Why we go blank? Does that mean our mind starts accumulating many thoughts and it gets indulged in that process so deep that it forgets to react to the situation? This is actually a very complex system and answers to it are not known. Even though almost 99 percent of the human beings behave in the same way. We know and make goals in our life. We want to become someone and something and believe that achieving that will give us the satisfaction we need. But all it brings is empty and unfulfilling dreams. It brings the next goal and with that, never ending want-circle...

One-sided Affairs!

One Sided Affairs! What! Nitish Kumar resigned and became the Chief Minister of Bihar once again with the BJP partnership? What! BJP formed a Government in Goa, even after being the 2nd largest party with the support of other regional parties? Is it really happening? Suddenly All India seems to be painted in Saffron colour. There are now only a few states remaining where either BJP government or NDA supporting parties are not ruling. The situation seems one-sided affairs. But the biggest question is - Can a Government still perform when there is no formidable opposition available? Can a Government still fulfil its poll promises?  With the break in mahagathbandhan in Bihar, the politics of India has changed suddenly. Until yesterday there was an anti-BJP ruling in Bihar. Nitish Kumar broke the alliance with Rashtriya Janta Dal and Congress and formed an alliance with BJP to form the next Government. In an another instance which happened sometime 6 months back ...

Politically Correct!

Politics is a science which relates to the governance of an area or a land. Politicians are those who follow politics but that is not the ideal condition. So, let's call the Politicians are those who claim to have following the politics. That said, governance can be of any form. It may be good, bad or in-between-good-bad for the people associated. No dictionary in this world defines politics as the good governance. But again good governance is a relative term. A government which doesn't enable its people and just provide free-bees may be a good government in the eyes of few people but actually is the worst in the long run. Making people dependent on some things and making those available to people without any efforts is worst kind of governance. A government which makes way to achieve things easy for people rather than making things availability easy is one of the best kind of governments. Take an example - A popular government makes rice available at 3 Rs per kg to the belo...

Failures and aftermath

Failures are a reality. If someone wins, someone loses too. There can never be a situation when all wins and no one loses. Yes, there can be perspectives to the things. But there always be someone better and someone less good. It is all in nature. If you think one is good, other will be less good or better automatically. Two things can be identical but all things can't be. But, agenda here is the failure and its aftermath. What happens when someone loses, particularly in the hands of less worthy. What happens then? Does it bring frustration and devastation together? It is said- when you give your best you stand a chance to win, in any situation of life. But, that is not true all the time, especially when you lose focus at the vital time. That is the time when someone wins and someone loses. Failure is not just opposite of the Success. It has a lot of mal-things attached to it. Frustration is the starting point which creeps and sometimes cripples a person. Slowly, it makes all th...

Energy - Time and Need

Do we really think we know everything...? Though we live in a scientific world where things amaze us every day, we barely know the limits. But, hold on, before knowing the limits we should know the start. A start is a key to know the limits of anything. I agree that reverse engineering is something, but it can only predict a form. And wherever we are not sure of something, it is very much clear we don't know the thing. Energy is one of those things. Energy can't be created or destroyed- we have learnt this all our lives. But, did we ever question, who said this and based on what assumptions. Also, since we know everything has a start and an end. Is it wise to say that about energy? I question this every day and no one has the answer to this. We have such a limited knowledge and with those, we try to answer to the life's all pertinent questions. Energy - a form we can feel and see and use. Something, we know everywhere. Something present everywhere. Can there be an absenc...

Pseudo Humanity

Pseudo is not just a word, it shows the thinking capability and reflects the ignorance of a person. Pseudo is for anything which just appears real and in reality, has nothing real in it at all. Pseudo is one of the most used English words in recent times. The reason for that is too obvious. Reach of Social Media has made each type of news, be it fake, real, true or false etc. accessible to all. People get offended so easily. People get offended without checking the reality behind a news feed. So, the real question is what defines a Pseudonym. Let me present a good example. NATO is an alliance formed by world's most powerful countries. NATO has been responsible for killing more numbers of people than any other country or incidences has killed in this world. US and UK and one of its biggest allies. UK has also oppressed many countries in this world and killed almost a billion people throughout the world. Now such countries with such a bloody history and worst human abuse hist...

Nari Shakti...

Nari Shakti... "Yatra Naryaste Pujyate, Ramante Tartra Devta", is a very old Sanskrit sloka. It says - The God resides at the place where Women are given respect and love.  Love is one of the most powerful things in this world. Women are not just anything but the half-part of a human being. We all have masculinity and feminity in us. Sometimes we use masculinity and sometimes we use feminity. A woman is more about feminity and that is what we believe in, but that is not true. When a woman fights for her dignity, it is her masculinity. It is the sheer power that drives a woman to conquer any difficulties in life. Just look at the current scenario. So, many women are doing great things in their life. Be it politics, science, medicine, sports or Engineering. In all fields, women are doing the wonderful job and bringing laurels to the family and country.  Currently, Women cricket team of India is playing like a champion. The team has already beaten England and West In...

Change... We see

Change ... We see... It's been 3 years for the Modi government at centre and there are many achievements and many miscues. Well, before going further I would like to make clear that neither I am a blind BJP supporter nor I am a right wing activists. I am just a fan of someone doing good. Someone, instead of failure, keeps trying to do good for the people. It could be anyone. Well, most of my writings and likings are inspired by good works done by people for the people and society. It is someone who sells her goats to build a toilet and someone who takes care of temple in spite of being a Muslim. Someone trying his/her best to give happiness and positiveness to everyone. An inspired person is a real asset of the nation. A visionary person is a real asset of the nation, Many persons ask me what has changed. India has still not progressed much. Well, my answer is simple, we are making progress. After almost 67 years of Independence, there is a PM (Prime Minister) who sp...

Champion!

Champion A Champion is a champion. A champion is a master and is champion because at that moment, at that particular moment he was the best. A champion is just a human being. A champion is just as you and me. A champion also thinks, fear and work to achieve the feat. A champion is someone who made sacrifices to be what he/she is today. It is never been easy. Life has never been the bed of roses rather it's been the bed of roses with thorns. But thorns never deterred him/her what he/she wants to be, what he/she wants to achieve.  Champions trophy was one such confluence of players from all over the world. All best teams e.g. Australia, South Africa, India and West Indies etc. put their efforts to emerge as the best team in the world. A cricketing event which also saw the participation of Bangladesh and Pakistan- two teams which are not at the top of their form. But what happened was the surprise for all. Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and England qualified Semi-final as th...

Media and Mediocrity...

Media and Mediocrity... All those glitters are not gold... one of the well-known sayings. On one hand, the meaning is as complex as we try to understand this and on the other, it is as simple as we try to understand it. Whatever we see and hear may be true or partially true with a bigger chunk hidden. And with social media advent, the truth is all hidden and half-truth is everywhere. Generally, we believe what we see, but truth can be deceptive and that is what is happening nowadays. All social media is nothing, but, full of lies and half-truth. And that unimaginably resulted in shorter people's reaction time. Sometimes it feels some people are playing an agenda and we all are puppets. Giving what they really want. Chaos and fear are the two most enablers nowadays. But the question is when we know all these why don't anyone take steps to mitigate those. Who is stopping, or else the media has become mediocre. We made Media mediocre. Mediocrity is a bane. It can destroy...

Canada, Cricket, Wonder Woman and me...

Canada, Cricket, Wonder Woman and me... "Wonderful" is not just a word. It is something beyond our imagination or something we all want to be or something beyond our capabilities. When we see something to that stature we label it as "Wonderful". Canada, Cricket and Wonder Woman movie are three "Wonderful" things right now. Canada is the wonderland for any refugee in this world. Someone who wants to take refuge in Canada. As per estimates, Canada wants more and more people to sustain its economic growth. Canada is building new towns and cities to keep its growth intact and taking refugees and people based on merits so that it can fulfil its dire needs. Meritorious people to fill the gap in sophisticated and knowledge gap, which will cover the talented people it needs. Refugees to fulfil its needs for more people and help the refugees to achieve all they need through hard-work. This contributing the GDP to keep the Canada growth engine intact. It is a wo...

Small love...

Small Love ... A love is a love. A  love is an emotion that connects two or more people. A love is blind, colourful, colourless etc. It is blind when you love without any prejudices; when you put no conditions; when you simply love due to the virtues. It is colorful when you start loving someone not because of his/her appearance and but because of his/her choices. It is colourless when you love beyond just appearance; when you deeply and madly like someone. In a nutshell, colourful and colourless love contain blind love in it. Any type of love it may be- Love is actual when you love selflessly; when you understand the meaning between "You look beautiful" and "You are beautiful". Having said that, all about love types- "Can love be quantified?" is the question we seek to answer to. Does love has any degree? Can love be variable? Can someone love someone with varied intensity? Can someone love someone so much that he/she is ready to go the extra mile? W...
