a drOp!!

the weather is changing,cold like its snowing
the feeling of ice crystals hitting you when you driving
i like these days,the sun hits you when you still wet
under a shade waiting for the rain to abate
i can feel the cold air when i talk
squeezing myself tight as i walk
gloomy,mood,lousy i frequently hear
the lovely sounds from the bird
waiting to take off from its shade
feeling of getting my hands on something hot
i see the workers drinking all the tea in the pot
i enjoy every second of my jog
as i look up at the sky with a smile on my face
and say
i like this cold gray winter days,the rainy days
they let me savour a bad mood.

GENERATION!!what do we know about this? what is the first thing that comes to our mind when the word is uttered? GENERATION of electricity? the formation of a curve plane in geometry? or is it the succession of natural decent? well, the present generation will first think of the former 2 answers before they really get to the last one, because their minds are so narrowed down to thinking about everything form a academic perspective. If education is not all you care about you will feel claustrophobic once you enter their minds. I’m 20 now, I really don’t feel my generation still lives. It has been taken over by those little kids who are 10-15 years old, the next generation has arrived in such short time. My generation is behind.
Have you ever wondered where the present generation is heading? they say this generation is going to become one of the finest in technology and innovation. now lets forward some years from here. we will start with a very simple day to day routine say work for that is what everyone is bending their backs for. why do we work? to earn money, power and recognition? to accumulate as much money as possible and retire happily with insurance plans? Do we really work to enjoy the beauty of living and enjoy the pleasures of life? Our generation is definitely not doing it. our definition of work is a “routine”, it has become the most important criteria for life and living. How many in this generation spend as time as possible in doing what we love the most. Work has become like blood, everyone has it, you will die if you don’t have it. But it is this constant work that will drain the blood out of you.
Where is power and grandeur going to take us? To the ne-plus ultra of all limits? Are you really happy at the top?
We don’t follow what our instincts tell us, what the abyss of the heart has always wanted. Work all of a sudden has become the backbone of our lives.
I feel we should balance our life with work, play, family and health. what is the point working for years and one day you look back and realize you haven’t lived life. i guess this realization will come to most of us and when it comes there is no going back.
What is the difference between happiness and love, selfishness and hatred? Well ,there is a huge dichotomy. with happiness and love comes joy of life, the aim of human existence. but with selfishness and hatred life is filled with sorrow and eventually follow the path of the sparrow, the path of extinction.
When you don’t enjoy what you do, you are never happy, the happiness should come from within, it must be felt and with this happiness comes the whole purpose of living life.
So choose your path wisely. do you want to be driven by money and power? or do you want to be driven by passion?

The Enemy

The enemy is not a person
If you kill people with whom will you live?

The enemy's name is cruelty
The enemy's name is lack of conscience
Its name is hatred, its name bitterness.

The enemy wears a coat of doctrine
The enemy wears the pretence of freedom
It wears hypocrisy, it wears twisted words.

The enemy is not a stranger
It lies inside of each of us.

The enemy's name is false accusation
The enemy's name is ignorance
Its name is ambition, its name is envy.

The enemy's name is covetous eyes
The enemy's name is arrogant head
Its name is a lonely heart, its name is a narrow mind.

The enemy is not a person.
If you kill people with whom will you live?

The enemy is not in the stranger
It lies inside of each of us.

By Thich Nhat Hanh(Vietnamese Buddhist monk)

Forgive many things in others,nothing in yourself.

Living A Life That Matters

“Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.  All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame & temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear.  So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won’t matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end.
It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.  Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?

• What will matter is not what you bought but what you built, not what you got but what you gave.
• What will matter is not your success but your significance.
• What will matter is not what you learned but what you taught.
• What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage, or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
• What will matter is not your competence but your character.
• What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone.
• What will matter is not your memories but the memories that live in those who loved you.
• What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident. It’s not a matter of circumstance but of choice.  Choose to live a life that matters.”
