WORDS THAT INSPIRED ME THE MOST

"It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

These lines are from the poem INVICTUS written by W E Henley. I came across these while going through an interview of Nelson Mandela. I realised his inspiration becoming mine too.

चलो चलें स्वर्ग की ओर

चलो चलें,
उस सरहद की ओर,
जिसके पार मिले स्वर्ग हमें।
सुख-दुःख के चक्रव्यूह से परे,
शान्ति का हो अनुभव हमें।
चलो चलें, चलो चलें,
चलो चलें, स्वर्ग की ओर।

चलो चलें,
उस प्रेमनगरी की ओर-
द्वेष-घृणा के बदले,
स्नेह बँटता हो जहाँ।
जल और चंदन सा निर्मल,
प्रशांत वातावरण हो जहाँ।
चलो चलें, चलो चलें,
चलो चलें स्वर्ग की ओर।

चलो चलें,
आज तोड़कर सारी बाधाएँ।
आत्माएँ सबकी एक रहे,
साथ-साथ उठे सबके कदम।
जाती-पाँति के भ्रम से उपर उठकर,
नव मानवता को आधार बनाकर,
चलो चलें,चलो चलें,
चलो चलें स्वर्ग की ओर॥

White Temple, Thailand

I saw this movie - "MOUNTAIN PATROL" and was left breathless and speechless with what I saw. I couldn't believe that it was based on a true incident. It portrayed man's dedication, his philanthropism and his blind greediness all at the same time with astonishing perfection.

The characters (the mountain patrol) in the movie repeatedly referred to a White Temple. Made curious by the film, I decided to find whether such a thing existed. What I found left me marveled. Such work of art... Would heaven be as beautiful, as pure and serene?

I have my parents
And a brother,
And needless to say
We're happy together.
Yet sometimes I feel
A missing something in my life.

I feel like crying
When drawned with happiness,
And when everyone else
For me cries,
I act brave and
Spread a smile.

I like the word ABNORMAL
When people comment me so
And thinking of the simplicity,
Often wish to remain so.

I try to adjust
Everywhere with a smile,
When deep in my heart's crust
I'm crushed many times a while.

I can feel the air
Brushing my body
But why don't they tear in
And soothe my soul?
To me all beauties are bestowed.
Then why am I wandering?
Oh say!
Why am I
So BLANK?

DAIRY MILK

a cherishing memory

With increase in the number of TV channels, no one is patient enough to stick to one channel at a time. Big sufferers of this are the advertisements.The poor thing is being ignored by all.
I save memories, some cherishing ones, of the ads I had lived with during my childhood. One among them is the Dairy Milk Chocolate series. Still, when I am happy to the extent of being in bliss and feel an eternal contentment, I sing these lines....

"ख्वामखा मुस्कुराये, ख्वामखा गुनगुनाये,
ख्वामखा गीत गाये दिल।
मैं खुश हूँ आज ख्वामखा। "

The series has also given us a golden mantra to live with....

"कुछ खास है ज़िन्दगी में
कुछ खास है हम सभी में,
क्या स्वाद है ज़िन्दगी में। "

There are lots we can get and cherish from the inputs of an ad.
They are the
असली स्वाद ज़िन्दगी का .

OUTBURST THOUGHT

Respect your parents

'Coz they brought you forth.

Adore nature

'Coz they taught you to love.

And love yourself

'Coz you yourself are the maker and destroyer

Of your life!!!
