"If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke."

सवाल

क्यों कभी कुछ सवालों के जवाब नही मिलते और कुछ जवाबों पर इतने सवाल उठते है
क्यों जब किसी हादसे से दामन छुड़ा के भागो तो वो तुम्हें अपनी गिरफ़्त में ले लेता है
क्यों जब ज़िंदगी हम सब को अलग अलग सवाल देती है तो हम उससे समान्तर ज़वाब चाहते है
और फिर क्यों हम दुसोरो की ज़िंदगी मैं अपने ज़वाब ना पा कर उनूंहे ग़लत ठहरा देते है
और क्यों उनकी ज़िंदगी मैं उपने ज़वाब ना पा कर नये सवाल उठा देते है
क्यों जब तिनका तिनका कर ज़िंदगी वापस जोड़ती लगती है तो पालक झपकाने से ही बिखर जाती है
सवाल सवाल कितने सारे है ये सवाल और कहा मिलेगे मुझे जवाब

क्यो होता है (kyo hota hai)

क्यों होता है...
हर घड़ी कुछ यादें भुलानी है
और ज़िंदगी उन यादो की कहानी है
क्यों होता है...
हर रह एक धुंधली निशानी है
और ज़िंदाघी मंज़िल की ओर बढ़ानी है
क्यों होता है...
हर पल आँखें भर आती है
और ज़िंदगी मुस्कुराते गुज़ारनी है
क्यों होता है...
हेर आज पर कल की परछाई है
और ज़िंदगी रोज़ नयी सजनी है
क्यो होता है?

kyo hota hai...
har ghadi kuch yaadain bhulani hai
aur zindagi un yaadain ki kahani hai
kyo hota hai...
har rah ek dhundli nishani hai
aur zindagi manzil ki or badhani hai
kyo hota hai...
har pal aankhen bar aati hai
aur zindagi muskurate guzarni hai
kyo hota hai...
har aaj per kal ki parchai hai
aur zindagi roz nayi sajani hai
kyo hota hai?

The Natya Karma

Khantaanyat Lambayat Geetam
Hastana Artha Pradakshayat
Chakshubhyam Darshayat Bhavom
Padabhyam Tala Acherait
Yato Hasta Stato Drushti
Yato Drushti Stato Manaha
Yato Manaha Stato Bhavom
Yato Bhavom Stato Rasaha



Keep the song in your throat
Let your hands bring out the meaning
Your glance should be full of expression
While your feet maintain the rhythm
Where the hand goes,
there the eyes should follow
Where the eyes are,
the mind should follow
Where the mind is,
there the expression
should be brought out
Where the expression is,
there the flavor
will be experienced
(by the audience).

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sreyas and Preyas

Path of wisdom via The Hindu

This makes me realize that there is so much to read.... good old reading :)

The Vedas posit that man has a choice of two paths in this world: Sreyas (preferable) also called Nivrtti, and the other Preyas (delectable) which is also known as Pravrtti. Sreyas is said to be preferable because the end (Self-knowledge) that is sought is permanent and hence there is no return to the world of bondage. The Vedas prescribe Preyas as a legitimate pursuit for fulfilling desires pertaining to both the world and the heaven through the performance of various sacrifices (Karma) with Dharma as the guiding principle in their advocacy. The fruits of Karma can be enjoyed relatively quickly but they are not long-lasting because they remain only till the merit is exhausted.

Story of Nachiketa

The Hindu

After a long time I opened 'The Hindu' today... and realized why I like this newspaper so much. No frivolous stuff, no extensive graphic, no link to breaking new videos etc. Just plain and simple new for the reader...

taste bugs are setting in place again :)

ह्यः स्वप्नः एव,
श्वः केवलम् दृष्िटः,
अद्य सुष्ठु जीव,
सर्वह्यः आनन्दस्य स्वप्नः करणीयः।
सर्वश्वः आशादृष्िटः करणीया,
अतः साधु अवलोकय इदम् दिनम् प्रित

For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today, well lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day.

Thought

There is this subconcious voice in your head(or maybe heart) that tells you
... yes, it is about time that you picked up the pieces and move on
... But yet it is not the time to put these pieces together maybe it will never be...

Maybe somethings need to remain broken...

Thought

Bit by bit you learn how to hide your sorrow,
slowly you become numb to memories
gradually u become disillusioned by emotions
just for the one you love... but is it love then?!??

To Be Your Best Self

The good you find in others, is in you too.
The faults you find in others, are your faults as well.
After all, to recognize something you must know it.
The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well.
The beauty you see around you, is your beauty.
The world around you is a reflection,
a mirror showing you the person you are.
To change your world, you must change yourself.
To blame and complain will only make matters worse.
Whatever you care about, is your responsibility.
What you see in others, shows you yourself.
See the best in others, and you will be your best.
Give to others, and you give to yourself.
Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.
Admire creativity, and you will be creative.
Love, and you will be loved.
Seek to understand, and you will be understood.
Listen, and your voice will be heard.
Teach, and you will learn.
Show your best face to the mirror, and
you'll be happy with the face looking back at you.
