Life is like an ocean, "Love" is a beautiful island,
Sometimes it is so caring and sometimes so violent;
It is a feeling hard to put into words,
The word most talked about, is in fact so silent..!
I wrote above lines when i was just 21 and far away from my family and missing them in switzerland. I couldn't write more on it then...!
And again today I am trying to write on samething that is most talked about, most debated, most expressed, most misunderstood or you can say most desirable feeling on earth..!
While turning the above lines to red, I asked a question "Why red..? Does it make...
Living the Lighter side of Life...!
There are days when Fun is the only philosophy of life..! Nothing to take on serious note..!
Doing extreme pagalpans like standing on highest branches of a tree for a click, daring to ride bikes with no tee-shirts on a winter midnight, four of us riding on a single bike for 4 kms, bathing in a river midst of one of the most virgin forest, going for a chai at 3 AM or 4 AM far to 7 kms or doing cat walk where ever you find a long paved stretch...!
Mostly I have found that having fun on sundays makes me more energetic on mondays..!
So life is also doing...
I am a nature lover and observer..!
Just got to learn one more magnificence of nature...! The relationship from part to whole..!
Was just surfing some photographs on internet and came across a beautiful pic by some artist of closeup of a leaf..! The main mid-rib through which the leaf is attached to the branch or twig..! the major vein and further the minor veins on the surface..!
What a magnificent act of nature to repeat the same principles at any level : a tree, or a branch or a leaf....or an atom, solar system or Universe..!
Everything in nature is part of the whole..! In fact replicas...
It was such a simple thought that took me to questions of science and math..! The other day when I saw my little cousin doing his math work stretching out a line with a zero in center and positive and negative integers on either side leading to infinity..!
Made me think of infinity..! Infinity doesn't have a positive and negative to it..! We take always things with reference to something ; here zero.. But infinity is infinity after all...Somthing which is immeasurable..! It has same symbol on both sides..! Infinity at both ends are just one..!
But the macro and micro definitions of universe...
It feels so good when someone taps on your back and say " Come on boy, you can do it..!" The amount of energy that runs then through the veins is lot more than normal.!
I am glad that I have found many inspirational people around me that gave me a reason to get out of bed next day..! It feels great when someone makes you realize your dream and make you feel that you are worth it..!
Along with those inspirational people around me, i also chose to explore myself through inspirational reading which is leading me through wonderful experience since 4 yrs..!
And again through that I got inspired...
There passes current through my most minute hair strands just thinking that one can be healed with just normal water..!
I saw a documentary yesterday which i downloaded from net saying that some scientist in Japan has claimed and proved that normal water has healing effect..! He's a doctor and has cured 10,000 people with just water as medicine..! He says what matters is with what feeling we are having that water..!!
Even in the most common trees it seems there is a rhythm with which branches split or leaves and fruits grow..! Fibonacci was the guy who derived that there is perfect mathematics...
"Life on earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year..!"
When I read this statement somewhere, I was literally moved..! Why is it that always we tend to focus on something that is of least value and tend to ignore some of the most valuable experiences that nature gives us..!
Life no doubt on earth is expensive and that's why we value it..! But nature gives us so many life time experiences that are value in itself..!
Twinkling stars on new moon day, roaring sound of waves on sea shore, Rising sun from behind the cliff..! Sounds poetic ...right..!?!? But infact...
Well I have enjoyed art in many ways, forms and in various nature, being dance, painting, poetry or writing, Architecture, photography and more..!
But I got to learn to put into words by my dear friend Sameer as he phrased it as "Art is the way of living..!" We generally have good overnight talks and debates and this time we landed on art..!
I really liked the way he framed it..! As a poet, i just loved the way he said it "Art is the way of living..!" And in fact it is..! (And this was quite before i heard of "Art of living" ).
It is the way of living of an individual, his thinking, thoughts,...
Who doesn't have dreams..!!? I had too..! And fortunately I have become by now what I wanted to be..!
But I really think sometimes, "What I wanted to be" is same as "What God wanted me to be..!"??? I firmly believe that God wants me to be something..!! What does he think of me..??!!
After a lot of thinking, I came to something..! God wants me to be something that I am good at..! I can only be good at something if I enjoy doing it..! Life's definite purpose is to enjoy and enjoy nature's and life's magnificence.
If God wants one to be a sculptor, he must have definitely send him on earth...
