As the rays leave the sun to reach the earth ,
So shall I leave you ,to make your presence known and worth .

There's so much to say,
So much to convey,
Words don't seem to take form,
Yet, everything has been said,
Everything has been felt,
As our spirits connect.

"Once, while praying in a crowd, Christopher said that God has a plan for me and I should hold onto Him.....he also told me that when I'm doing what he is doing I shouldn't forget him....that's why I joined the prayer group ,because I do not know from where to start " .

Complain n complain...what else have we to do ?

That's one of the most important reasons as to why that cavity with a boneless-rubbery-"pink" (or sometimes white)- saliva producing thing exists .

Why this and why that ? Either we complain about the lack of things or its perfection !

The bigger we grow and the more we learn...The more "immature" and idiotic and biased we become and we lose our purpose and ourselves....and then to gain back all that innocence,understanding and divinity that we once possesed ,we begin this journey of "self-discovery" aka "self- revelation" aka "spiritual- rejuvention"aka"detachment from the world"aka"who am I"aka"where am I going"aka"what is my destiny"aka"I have to climb mount everest"aka.......


WAIT !

I don't mean to offend anyone....but did Buddha actually have to leave his family and sit under the "Bodhgaya" to receive enlightenment ?

Or do people have to wander off to places leaving kith n kin to find salvation.....?

Do we have to fast and pray to see God ?

Don't blame me for all the absurd questions I ask......These questions were inspired by two ,probably,five year olds.....who were dumb n deaf !
I saw them in the bus today .

I wondered if they even knew that they were differentially abled(I don't like the word handicapped !) or why they had to wear these "special" kind of instruments or why they went to a "special" kind of school !

They were lost in their play .....tickling and poking and kissing and one holding the hand of the other asking how she was hurt and the explanations expressed with ease !

Did they ever complain that they couln't be understood ?

Did their mother ever complain that she could never be called "mummy" ?

Did they ever complain why they never wore shorts with zips......or shoes without socks ?

Did it hurt ? Did they feel helpless ? Did they cry ?

God alone knows what goes throught the hearts of these little ones ! Incomprehensible by "men".

Here we are trying to understand mokeys and dogs.....what about the enlightenment one could receive from these little ones....

The Bible says it best :"You need to become like a child to enter the kingdom of God"

We were children...pure ,with wholesome perfection and exuding divinity !
Where has it all gone ?

We never lose what we were meant to posses .We only misplace it.....and end up looking
elsewhere ,where we may never find it.....Now,that's only obvious !

GROWN UPS.......When will we ever learn ?

Maybe all Buddha had to do was look into his son....and he would have found enlightenment there too........maybe even faster !

"You need to wake up with a reason everyday"

Yea right....Being forced to wake up ,stretching ,feeling the comfort of loosening every joint in your body ,rubbing off the "eye-crispies",hurring to relieve yourself at the toilet ,cursing the one occupying it at the "wrong" time ,.....well for most of us this forms the daily 'as-soon-as-I-get-up-things-that-I-need-to-do' routine !

Who's got the time for "reason-finding".......even if it's there ,"bare" ,right infront of
you !

Well.....I do pretty much the same......The only difference : I wake up with a song , in my heart ,in my mind ,on my lips ,in my being.......I'm a die-hard "love to sing"
kinda singer !

The only days I've 'ever' got up with a reason was ,when I knew that they had been given to me to make maximum use of what I had or what I was "gifted" with .
The day I could express myself "the best" ...
The day when the "who-I-was" didn't matter......but only what I was...
The day when being what I am was more important than what others wanted me to be... The day I could unleash MY orenda !

23rd February 2008 was one of those special and unforgettable days .

Making an entire hall of people sing with you ,sounds like no big deal .But what if you're no great person and all you have with you ,is all you take to the stage and people praise you ,they head bang ,they "yo" you ,they "hi fi" ,they smile and wink back ,they cheer you ,they hug you ,they say "hey you rock the stage"........just for being you......just for what you have !!!!

I am a simple person .I don't dream big .It might make one think that I'm
incompetent .But I don't dream in terms of making it BIG at the IT .My dreams have nothing to do with money or comfort .It's only got to do with "finding why I'm here and accomplishing it" ! That's it......Simple as that .

Well ,guess ,that's why it's big deal for me .It's almost like realising I've not missed the way .I'm travelling on it .I'm not far from finding "The Reason" . It's out there....I'm going to catch it ....someday.... somehow .

I left college that day, knowing what Sachin would have felt after accomplishing his first century or "Miss Universe", after being crowned .

It's incomparable....It's ecstatic !It's exuberant exhilaration (I love those words !!!)

I left knowing what it means "to let your spirit take flight".......and of course with the song Kholo Kholo , in my heart, in my mind, on my lips and in my "entire" being !

Well ,what would one think of the word "sorry"? Something that the British just left behind for us to use? Wouldn't blame one if they thought so ...I mean...ya you're right .It's more often said than meant .That's why it comes so easily .

"Sorry...I really am sorry" !That's pretty easy to say...I've said it before...I've said it to many .
Have I actually meant it...well...after all that was said ,things went on fine...I was forgiven .
That's what matters right ?Everything's going on fine....everyone's happy...amidst all that who's going to bother about "self-examination" when you're having a good time and all the fun !

But wait...what if you have to walk up to someone ,whom you're not even sure you've hurt ,and say a sorry and you're doing it because you're instincts say that something's just not feeling right .You're really good friends once upon a time and now...you fake your "smile-acknowledgements" and you ignore each other...for God knows what reason .And the worst part is...you're not sure if the person's treating you the same way you're treating them...I mean...all that they must be doing is wondering why you're acting "konky" after all the good times of laughter and stupidity that you've shared !

It's an "ughhh" feeling .You're sorry for something you've done ,which they don't even bother to hold against you(They wouldn't have even noticed it) .You're sorry because you've been a recidivist .You do the same thing once and again ...say your sorries ....and viola....you're doing it all over again...
You haven't meant those sorries and now that you're really sorry for all those non- genuine ones...you don't have the gut to go and express it....cause you're just not sure !

Well doing it was the "biggest" challege for me .Your body gets heated and legs get cemented and all you want to do is change your direction and you end up compromising .
It's not a matter of 1 hour ,or 1 day or 1 week or 1 month preparation .It's more .It's trainng your guts to lay it all down ....flat and open .

Now once I've done it ,did it help ?

There was no drama...or dialogue . Just "I donno what you're talking about" kinda reaction .
Something I didn't want to happen .
I wanted the drama....I wanted the dialogue !No ,I'm not a movie maniac !
But I'd be sure that everything's cleared .Nothing's hazy .Everthing made to see !

All I can say is.....I've done my part and thank you for the oppurtunity .

I didn't wait for the "best" time .There's no such thing .

I don't know if I did it at the "right" time .

I didn't wait for the end .
And I think that's right enough !

No...all I get to do is take another dose of instructions....I'm getting trained for "you'll have to do all this after marriage !"(yayeiks and double zoinks)......

Hmm...hey that's a good idea....I'll take the training and open a school for the women...to enroll their men...."thumbs-up".....so much for "an idea can change your life" (thanx blog....I sat down here to complain and you've just helped me find a way to make money...."muah")

Had been to MCC today....had to pay 150 bucks to get in....damn...."this is silly" I thought as I walked in....I wondered if t'was gonna be worth paying that much...All I expected was good stuff...Maybe the dance or the singing......"Mardi Gras"....ya....that was the theme....
There were these belles with the "eye-mask" on...grand!..The main audi was broken down....I remember....we always had "interested" dogs if not students there.....I got to see my old classrooms....Got to criticize a few teachers....The oldies "lullabied" to us...the young ones
put on this act of "strictness" just to feel secure.....funny ladies.....
The canteens.....chechi's no more there and so are the hot sugar and cinnamon doughnuts....I remember messing our faces with it ...The labs....oh ya I got to meet the attender...he remembered my friend not me....(like duh)well he's the same.....talks too much....very much more than required...The beehive next to the audi in the Golden Jubilee is very much present....but bigger...and a change of location ....(photographic!......I was very much tempted to just break the peace in coll....That would put an end to that damed fest which gave me nothing for 150 bucks!!!! grrr!!!)
Met a few ol buddies...and all they had in store for me was the news of death of a good pal of mine .We weren't close pals or anything....the hi-bye kind...But she was bold ,beautiful ,confident and endearing .She had commited suicide just 3 days ago because her boyfriend had passed away in an accident .Damed.....what's wrong with these people....can't they just leave the dead to the dead....
Wasn't necessary for you to join them girl.......God bless your soul !

Well life's crazy ,weird :does things you never expected and at a time you never expected.....well is it that difficult to be alive ..to exist...to let life flow ????Life is meant for living right....no matter what....It's raises you up....and lets you fall....That's the essence of Life ....isn't it???

Could I be right is asking these questions...or could they be just labelled as arguments made by the inexperienced ???

These soliliques.....am I "right" in assuming that my assumptions are "right" ???


Guess all this is a bit too much for 150 bucks.....
