While

While driving in my car

I saw a kid waving at me

He asked for two penny

I didn't help him out

The guilt then stayed with me.


While walking down the road

I saw a confectionery

The kid came along

to have some sweet from me

I did gave him a sweet

He smiled and went away from me.


While sitting in open air

I saw the Moon look at me

It winked and smiled at me

I smiled at it as I daily do

and wondered how could I reach near you?

The lonely times spent

gazing at the Moon

enable me to become a good human being

I am able to see the kid's smile

and even my own smile

in the times spent all by me.

< 0 0 >

As thought is turned into a feeling

sorrow is turned into tears.

The tears drop down and loses its value..

with it the sorrow also vanishes.

Tears and smiles are visitors

they come and go

and do not stay for long.

THE POWER

Silence is omnipotent

and darkness too.

Question yourself in darkness and silence

and the answers will come to you.

Silence is omnipotent

and darkness too.

The answers are heard

in darkness and silence,

which are unheard and unanswered

in the brightness of day.

The unusual and unknown voice is attended

and heard by the self

because

silence is omnipotent

and

darkness too.

ROMANCE AND CELLPHONES


Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.
-- Albert Einstein

These days romance is dependent upon cellphones. Notes of love are exchanged through text messaging; love starts and ends via cellphones. For instance, a guy proposes a girl calling up..the LOVE between them blooms, the couple reaches the pinnacle but the flowers of love are dried up and the fragrance of love cannot be smelt after sometime because the couple has now had a break up..interestingly via cellphones..
So the cellphones have become boon for some - who are still strong in their relationship..bane for same - who have had a breakup..SO AS IT IS SAID-- AN IDEA CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!! for ur good or worse..
On top of that the cellphone companies provide packages of free calling and free messaging..So that you are connected!! LOVE CONNECTS..but here via cellphones!!Interesting concept huh? Saves your time and money..as people dedicate love cards, romantic songs all through cellphones.
I am not saying that cellphones should be banned..just saying ..discretion is necessary..and when we talk about TRUE LOVE ..it doesn't need cellphones or internet! 
ONE glance of that particular person may remain with you forever and that is true love..
True love doesn't mean union of two people..
It means you give your heart without asking for the other person's love.

CHASING MISS PERFECT?

They say..
NOBODY IS PERFECT!
it is also said..
PRACTICE MAKES A MAN PERFECT!
Now I ask this question, what should one believe? the first quote or second?
Nobody has seen or achieved the Utopian land or "The Republic" which Plato imagined and wrote about. So when there is no PERFECT LAND , similarly there is nothing like perfect man or perfect woman.
As it is said, "one does not love a perfect person but loves an imperfect person perfectly." Everyone is chasing for Miss Perfect or Mr Perfect, consciously or unconsciously. The definitions change from person to person, gender to gender. In the 21st century India, things are undergoing a change. Now there are no gender specific roles for men or women. Women propose men, they drive and men take a backseat. In married lives, men are changing nappies, cooking food and women are working in a 24*7 changing shift.
Now is it that the Perfect Man and Perfect Woman lie only in books and movies?
The answer is that the one perfect for Mr. Y is not perfect for Mr. X. So you may be wanting a girl who respects your parents and cooks scrumptous food for you. The other will say..Miss Perfect for me is the one who will earn money and take care of the house too.
She should be intelligent, humorous and how can i forget ..beautiful! and yeah the male ego should not get hurt! She should be practical and should not take things seriously..not the too emotional and sensitive kinds!
The NEW WOMAN is hip, cool, educated, self - dependant, uncompromising when it comes to her career.
So guys be ready to get the feel of this new woman!

BEAUTY CREAMS FOR MEN

I WAS CHALLENGED BY ONE OF MY FRIENDS..HE WANTED TO SEE WHETHER I CAN WRITE ON THIS TOPIC OR  NOT..SO HERE I AM



When this concept of beauty creams for men came up...it was something unusual..but once I read an interview by Shehnaz Hussain who was the first one to launch this product for men. She said she only started up the fairness cream for men because many men wrote to her that when she is launching products for beauty care for women ..why not men?????????
And then men's fairness cream came out in the market..and the number of sales shoooted up....really true..men started using it and still they are...from college going to adults..and what is wrong in it? 
When women have the right to look good and feel good..then why not men? The film actors, models use it and we have the answer from the them...its their job to look good and FAIR!!!
and I say the commoners also have the right to look good or to say have a fair colour..If the female gender is applying hundreds of face packs, fairness creams, sunscreen lotions to protect their skin and look fair and good.. I say why not men? They also want to look good. Some say that men using fairness creams...it sounds funny..Some say they are obsessed with their looks. Some say they want to  impress the fairer sex..
The point is, it is not funny..because many use fairness creams because sometimes they get the feeling I wish I was fair..and this feeling comes because of the bias based on the colour of skin.So why will they not use fairness creams then?...they do and they will..and the product sales are still high..
So men using fairness creams..not a bad thing..you have the right to look the way u want.. but do not be ashamed of your skin colour..beacuse the colour is not so important.
Remember "beauty lies within."

THE WORLD OF EXPERIENCE

We take birth in this world which seems to be beautiful but when born then only we cry n sulking in our mother's lap very soon realize that this world is not a happy one!
I wanted to become a good human being, a good friend , a good confidante and wanted to earn many 'good' positions for myself..but I found myself aloof in this world which I call the world of experience! The opposite is happening with me all my virtues are turning vices.
I am scared I don't want to be punished by God and earn the SEVEN DEADLY SINS - (wrath, pride, envy, avarice, gluttony, lust, sloth.)
But this world of experience is a selfish world, everyone has become selfish, greedy and we all are running to earn the seven deadly sins..sad but true we are making a hell on heaven and the paradise earth as some may call it has become the world of sufferings and we all are becoming negative even if we try to remain positive and humane.
I don't blame anyone and its the story of everyone who reads my blog..Think over it.

A PLEA FOR SEX WORKERS

Well Iam penning down my views and reflection of my thoughts when I dwell on the plight of sex workers. The title is quite suggestive that I am supporting sex workers. Neither am I sympathizing nor showing pity for someone, but I just want people to see the magnitude of the problem with eyes wide open. Thousands of women were barred in jails from the bars in mumbai n nearby places. These women are now homeless, jobless, and the indian judiciary is not even executing any plans for their support. Nobody is thinking how these women will earn their bread? How will they run their families?
Most of the women are forced and indulge in this sex trade only for money as there is no one to run the house or the male members are drunkards or just want money. Thus, there is no way out left for women.
Films like Chandni Bar and Chameli really make us think about women who go through this life. The situations may be varied, but we should see the gravity of the problem and that is to provide a backup.
Either the government should legalize the bar dancers getting into the sex trade because closing bars is not at all a solution.
This trade is going on behind the walls. Girls are kidnapped, they are forcefully dragged into this dirty world. Pimps make them do this dirty job, serving men with their bodies. It is a disastrous problem and the government, people and every educated citizen should give it a thought and atleast give some solution to this menace.
P.S. - Do not be biased or orthodox in your thinking. It is a reality and we all have to face it so when ever one comes across anything related to this issue, one should be practical and rational bacause we live in a democracy and democracy runs by the people, for the people and of the people.

MY DREAM

FOR THE FIRST TIME

I SAW YOU IN MY DREAM ;

I SPOKE TO YOU

IN MY DREAM ;

I CONFESSED YOU

FOR ALL THE MISTAKES,

IN MY DREAM ;

YOU HELD YOUR HAND AND BLESSED ME,

IN MY DREAM ;

THE WORLD IS AT YOUR FEET

OH ! MY LORD !

I WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN

I PROMISED , ALL MIGHTY !

IN MY DREAM ;

SO , THIS WAS MY SPECIAL EXPERIENCE WITH LORD

AS I SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL

AND I CALL IT MY SWEET DREAM.

IF I HAD WINGS OF MY OWN!

I wish I would fly,

To the earth where

Love and peace prevails;

I wish I would fly,

To the sky where

The flowers of brotherhood blossom;

I wish I would fly,

To the heaven where

The clouds of serenity and divinity roam around;

I wish I would dive,

Into the ocean where

The spontaneity of water lies!

The day I was born

Was it December or January?

Was it Sunday or Monday?

Was it the evening or morning?

when I the Great was born.

My tweenie – weenie dresses were sewn by my grandma.

Will it be a girl or a boy?

These were the confusions and predictions made by my uncles and aunts

when I the Great was born.

Everybody was praying and waiting for the cute little healthy baby;

Then the moment of excitement, thrill and joy entered the hearts of all

As I the Great was born.

So , it was the morning of Monday and 30th of January;

WHEN I THE GREAT WAS BORN!
