Think Like a Drunkard!

“Lehron se Darkar nauka par nahin hoti,
koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti”

 

Above lines from Harivansh Rai Banchan’s Poem stores the greatest key to success.
Success in anything you want to do.  All we need to give is honest afford from our side and keep our mind calm and cool.

Some days ago I attended a lecture by his Holiness the Dalai Lama.  He didn’t speak anything which was not relevant in our every day life. He was talking about “being happy in difficult times”. The only mantra which his holiness suggested was a “calm mind”.  A calm mind can make you forget all your pains and worries  in most difficult times, it can lead you to win a battle against mighty enemy easily.

It is not very good idea to react immediately ( yeah ! I know its difficult sometimes). Once we react  to any situation or any person we are became puppets in their hands and giving our full control. Do you want to give your control to someone or some situation completely?

Then Just Chill. Every problem have a solution. The path may not be very clear but our destination should be clear. Once we know our destination we should start exploring different paths instead of sitting and waiting for the time to come up with an idea, believe me its the journey not the destination that you will remember and cherish about .

In school, I had read another poem of Harivansh Rai Banchan “Madhusaala” (Bar) . He gave very nice analogy of a drunkard who finds some or other way to reach Madhusaala (Bar) and enjoy his drink.So we should be like a drunkard and find some or other way to reach our destination :)

Hey ! Don’t get me wrong  I am not saying “ start drinking “  what I mean is start thinking like the drunkard who have to strongest desire to reach madhusaala and enjoy his (her J ) drink

Columbus ! Columbus ! lets find a New Place!!!!!

Last week I have done kinda some survey asking my friends “What are the Five Things You want to do before you Die”..

Hey Hey!! Before you read this article  please take a pen and paper and list down the five things you want to do before you Die. Believe me it will be great FUN.

DONE . OK check your list  Does it has something like World Tour, Travel ling to some Exotic places, Going to Himalayas, Deep sea Diving  . I am sure for any normal person it would be in the list along with the other things. So there is a Columbus in all of us.

I don’t know how many of you heard this Song from a Hindi Flick  Jeans “Columbus Columbus Chutti hai aayi..chalo naya mulk dhonde mere bhaiye”.

So start exploring the beautiful world if not in magic carpet or a ship..start exploring by whatsoever mean you have :)

Direct dil se..

This is direct dilse..no thought no thinking involve.
IS being SINGLE so bad Huh?....
Suddenly everyone popping up the same question "Shadi ( means marriage yaar!) kab kar rahi ho.. BF friend toh hoga tumhar..blah blah ...
Can you beat this one old friend of mine suddenly ask me "shadi kab kar rahi ho" . I said "No idea". You have BF. I said 'NO" after long pause "will you became my GF". I said  "if u don't have GF and I don't have BF does not mean that I will become Your GF".
Go #%^^###
I AM HAPPY BEING SINGLE.
I don't want any stupid fool to play with my emotion and then one fine day give some third class excuse to end a relation which means nothing for him. Its all S%^&.  I don't want to waste time and energy for any hopelessly idiotic person then. people just make you fool and play with your bloody emotion.
IF you don't have the dare to face the consequences and to bear the aftermath. PLEASE PLEASE don't spoil anyone's life for heaven sake.

BE SINGLE BE HAPPY.. No sad songs in life, No tears , No Agony Aunt's help. 14th Feb is around the corner! but man best thing to do is love urself , love life and enjoy it. Instead of wasting it for some fool..


I am apologetic about using such blunt and unparliamentary langauge.. but this is direct dil se..

The Third Gender

I am writing about a very unusual topic, a topic which sometimes disturbs my thinking and even my existence as an human being.

It’s about the Third Gender - neither man nor woman. In India and south Asia they are also known as Hijra. Originated from an Arabic word meaning “migration”.

I had seen them only in Hindi Movies when I was in Arunachal Pradesh. I think first time I have seen Hijras in local train from Kolkata to Kharagpur while doing onboard surveys. I was very excited and curious to see them. They crossed me but didn’t ask for any money may be because I was a student or may be because I am a girl. But I had seen in movies that we should never take curse from any Hijra and give them money because their blessing also very very effective. So I voluntarily handed one of them 20 bucks and ask her to bless me for a CGPA greater than 8 this semester.  

+++++++

My second and closest encounter with one of them was when I and my friend poonam got into a general compartment of a train coming from Hyderabad. We were returning from her place from baramaati (Maharashtra) to pune. There was no other seat so we had to share the berth with a Hijra and we got to know that she will be getting down only in Pune.

My friend was very scared even I feeling very uneasy and uncomfortable sitting next to a Hijra. Just praying that either she change the compartment or we get some other place and desperately looking for other place to seat and there was none. There was a disgusting feeling of superiority running inside me.

Anyways we travelled 3 hours without talking to her (the Hijra) which normally I don’t do and reach pune and travel back to Mumbai. Later that night I had a very strange feeling running in my mind.  I was feeling that what kind of a hypocrite I am? One hand I am giving Hijra money to take her blessing and on the other hand I mind even sitting next to one of them.

 I say I believe in equality of living being but I feeling shame and uneasiness sitting next of Hijra.  Whole night all these thoughts were running on my mind, I was ashamed of myself. I was disgusted with the thought that made me think that I am superior creature.

But after that incident my whole attitude towards them changed. I started considering them as one of us. Now I give them money not because I am scared of taking any curse from them or I need any blessing just because I know still today in the society where I live people don’t consider them as equal human being.

 They are not given the equal rights as you and me. Forget the fundamental rights they are not even given the human rights. We need to change all these crap. We Indians are now going through a phase of renaissance. We need to bury these kinds of old/outdate customs. Let us work and walk side by side to make a beautiful and colourful nation. Respect them, give them equal opportunity in education, jobs and other fields.

I would very happy if you share your thoughts on this. I have tried to put my very limited understanding in the blog.
