The good life!

We all dream of the good life
The big cars, the big houses, the fast life 
and grand parties
Fuelled by the trash society throws at us
In the name of civilization.

And we start running.
Faster, harder like fools
Chasing dreams that are irrelevant
But most of us realise that too late
When we are totally spent, emotionally and spiritually

Then we get the wake-up call
From the hidden corners of our subconscious
Questioning the usefulness of the chase we wasted half our life pursuing 

And, the mind wakes up to see through the clutter and trash we have been seeing since born

We start looking for ways to be happy as that is not a skill we learnt at school.
But we learn fast. Because we are programmed to be happy. It's in our genes.

And then the life changes for the better
We start living for the greater good
For things that make us truly happy

Little things that we thought totally useless
Becomes the centre of our life. And we start living, in happiness with joy in our hearts and smiles on our faces....just as we did as children.

Remember the childhood days? The innocent laughter, the meaningless dreams and the crazy ambitions? 

When we thought everything is possible?

Those days are not gone. We just stopped us from living that way. Let's begin again.
Let's be children again. Let's relearn, unlearn and recreate the dreams we dreamt as children.

Because that will make us truly happy.
And we can all live and die with a smile on our faces.

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!

2020: adios amigo!

The year 2020 was cruel to most of us, but it taught us many positive lessons. It made us appreciate and be grateful for all that we have, and realise what we really need in life to be happy. It was a lesson needed for the world to reboot and rethink of its priorities. It reminded us that we have been making the mistake of using people and loving things when it needs to be the other way round. It made us realise the importance of the people in our lives - even if they are the people who do mundane jobs in our households and whom we tend to take for granted. It also made us realise that our wealth can't protect us from the virus or a calamity, but our fellow humans can; the great work done by the medical fraternity, the workers who helped us stay alive during the lockdown, was truly commendable. No words can really describe how grateful the rest of us are for these courageous selfless servants of humanity. I hope we have learnt the lessons and learnt them well as a race, as life ten...

Hey gorgeous

I find you beautiful not because you are good looking I find you beautiful because your eyes share the same pain I see in my own I find you gorgeous because you wear the look of a fellow traveller longing for the train to arrive in the station soon I find you irresistable because I see the fountains of joy that soothes my heart in your eyes as you look at me I find you stunning because you are imperfect and scarred just like me Let's share this life Whatever little is left of it Let's laugh and cry together Let's celebrate the scars and toast the time together as finally we have the chance to be with each other Let's not give up now Let's not wait another lifetime to quench the thirst our souls feel for each other Comeon let's approach the future together Like a pack of wolves chasing a prey And let's feast on moments we conquer  for ourselves...
