a post i want to revisit

i was so touched by sudi's words today. she said she wanted to be a noble doctor, a doctor who cared more for the souls than for the body, more for the art than for the science, more for love than for money, more for the nerves than for the bones.

hope she achieves what she is worth of this year and in the years to come. i love you baby, more than you think i do.

i will revisit this page again in october and that time, i would like to see you reaching those dreams.

blessing in disguise

someone has said it right. 'good things always happen to good people' - i realized it today. i was going through a very tough phase in life, a phase i want to never think about (but it flashes through my mind like wind in a matter of seconds), a phase that left me mature, a phase that made me think life was beyond imaginations, a phase that left me baffled for sometime, that left me realizing "this is who i thought cared about me". but one thing remained common, i continued to do what i could do best. i tried to learn as much as i could. i took the comments close at the same time away from my heart. the auricles and ventricles were confused some days, i would leave them and think practical some days. i would bring them near and caress them and become the good-old-one again some other days.

life throws up un-thought challenges i realized but it gets you closer to the reality. i like the reality and i want to stay closer to it. that reality is actually the blessing in disguise, disguise because it doesn't prepare you before it comes over you. i like you disguise, stay closer to me.

perfection

often i feel like staying silent

not uttering any words, staying highly dumb

by expressions, by impressions, by all

as if everyone could understand my emotions

as if all knew what i did not say

as if it was all so obvious

somehow these silences give me time to think

to think that the world is uncertain

that there is no perfection

that it is nothing but silliness to think of perfection

after all the world is also tilted, it is not perfect either

how can i expect everyone to be perfect then

why do i seek perfection everywhere

why am I living in an illusion?

geetanjali

where the mind is without fear and the head is held high

where knowledge is free

where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

into that heaven of freedom my father

let my country awake

the deepest secret

this is the deepest secret nobody knows
it is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
it the sky of the sky of a tree called life
which grows deeper than the heart can hold or the mind can hide
and this is the secret which is keeping the stars apart

i think i carry your heart and i think i carry it in my heart.

the most wonderful of all things in life

the most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty, meaning and love. It cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is sort of a divine incident and the most wonderful of all things in life.
cute little exciting things sometime touch the heart
weird they sometimes are
cranky they also are
stupid and silly you can call them
but i like them
because they make me feel light
because they tell me time and again
life is after all life
everything can be bright
all you need is that sight
