Dukh to Apna Saathi Hai...

Just now I listened to the song “Raahi manwa dukh ki chinta kyun satati hai, dukh to apna saathi hai...” from an old movie named “Dosti”. Just pondering how true it can be and how much we cannot understand this.

Being Human...

These days there is a lot of craze of Salmaan Khan promoted “Being Human” Tees. You can see it everywhere, youngsters, kids, middle aged, all seem to be “touched” by the idea of being human. Or is it??

Times Change... So Do We...Is It Good or Bad???

Few days ago one of my friends mother took her last breath. We were close friends. We had a group in our college. I came to know that very day. I called her up, talked to her for hardly a minute. I didn't know what to say. It was a shocking news for all of us. I was sad for some time after that call. Then I left my room and went for a walk. After returning, I was back to my studies. I was not at all disturbed at that time. I was not like this. When I went to bed it suddenly crossed my mind that have I become so insensitive? Or don't I have even little time for my poor friend? I don't know. May be it is just the growing professionalism that I have always hated. Is it good, or bad? I can't understand so I am asking you.

Please guide me...

Remember I told you about a boy which I overheard while traveling in Metro??? As I said, there was more to his talk than what I discussed before. Here is the part that I want to discuss today.

Options We Have and Choices We Make...

Few years ago, I was having a discussion with a friend of mine regarding “God's will” and its influence in our life. One thing that he said impressed me a lot and has forced me to think and rethink ever since. He said, “God doesn't govern our fate or destiny, it's us. He simply gives us options, we make the choices. These choices lead to some more options and more choices and finally we get what we call the destiny.” As the title goes, life is indeed full of choices. It's course is set by the options we have and the coices we make.

“I wanted to be...” a story of dying dreams...

Yesterday, while traveling in Delhi Metro, I overheard a boy talking on phone. He was, I guess, some 24-25 years of age. He was dressed well, decent and sober. But there was something that was bothering him. I don't know what, but I could sense it from his appearance and talks that he was tensed, even on the auspicious occasion of Durga Puja. A part of it, that I actually want to discuss today, was as follows... (most of the conversation was in Hindi, I am translating that in English for the sake of my readers)
