World of Many

A man’s world is small. His thoughts defines his world. His reach is the boundary. His actions are bounded. He sees no land and sea. He feels pushed. This is what his small world is about.

A man’s world is small. His voices unheard. His actions ignored. His vision unseen. His feelings neglected. His path never followed. His root never traced.

Men come and go. Dreams blossom and die. Yet, his thoughts are his world and lives by it. And lasts only his lifetime.

Great men see world’s of many. Their actions touches lives. Their thoughts run across lands and oceans. Their voices heard miles far. Their vision pierce mountains.

A world of no boundaries. A world of boundless thoughts and actions. A world that's remembered forever.

The Unwounded Soul - She Took Life with Zest

It was a hot summer day in my village Azhagapapuram in KanyaKumari district, and i was waiting for the bus along with few others, to visit the near by Town by the name Nagercoil. It's not a common scene for someone from Mumbai or abroad waiting in the bus stand, as most of them would zoom in bikes.

During my patient wait for the bus, i just saw a women of above 50 years of age crawling towards us. At first I found it difficult to understand a person dragging herself without both the legs, more of the spirit that she had despite loosing her limbs.

She approached nearby and settled down near the corner of the stand. As she too was waiting for the bus, I began to see this same world but with more of fighters. She was a human being with the might to live life ordinary (if not great), but was extraordinary for other.

Being Happy Is Just The Outcome

You cannot deliberately be happy because you wanted to be happy, as being happy is just the outcome of your acts.

Your acts solely brings (or in other words is responsible for your) happiness in this world. Your act of giving, care, thought, time, understanding sets your actions and which in turn is set to bring in abundance and boundless love, which can neither be broken nor diminished by any outside forces as such others acts.

A happiness that is not bound to any factor except your actions led by your thoughts.

So one being down, broken or sad because of unfortunate events (fate as believed by some), financial crisis, family issues is in no way connected to you being happy. You achieve happiness only be acting on your beliefs.

Go Ahead and Do It, Happiness Surely Follows!

You Need Two Hands To Clap, But...

You need two hands to clap that's how the old saying goes. Thats true, but if you dig deeper and broader you realize that you need two hands to clap, but even a single hand can raise thounds of claps (election is around the corner, and i'm not talking about Congress here!).

In each relationship this may take various forms, but the core value remains the same, you can bring the other hand to clap. In the relationship sense, it could be between you and the wife, you and the boss, you and the teacher, you and the friend, you and the every other single person, you can come closer and bring in the clap.

Essentially, it may take inspiration, support, belief, acceptance, trust, leading, following, forgiving, undertsanding, consideration, caring and for sure you will clap. And as you know it all starts with Giving.

Mumbai Terror Attack 26/11 Witness

It was a just another evening on 26 November 2008, was switching through coutnless TV channels at around 9:30 PM and happend to see this news on one of the News channel about some firing among two gangs at Narimon Point. Still surfing the TV channels looking for a treat, came across the same news at around 9:45 PM, but this time the news changed titles, it talked about some gangster held up by Mumbai Police (Apna Pandu) at Nariman House.

Eager to see the action live, I took my bike and took off towards south mumbai, on the way while fueling the bike at a petrol pump near Byculla, over a convesation with the standy person, heared that its was more than just a gangster cross fire. It was a Terrorist Attact! Yes, a terror event. More worried and the same time anxious, fled towards CST, met with this nakabandi just under the JJ flyover near Crawford market and had to sideline. There was a bunch of Police jeeps (Pandu Mahindra Bolero) and other localites diverting the Taxis and motorists back (and some sped through them) and didn't let anyone go towards CST station and further.

Getting more anxious on whats happening on the other end and still not realizing the whole story, I moved slowly on foot under the bridge further to get a glimpse of the furthest road, but could only see police barricades and Police shoo away us.
Worried and thrilled at the same, I wanted to get more closer to the action, so took my Bike and rode through behind Cama hospital and came across another barricade just in front of the rear gate of the hospital, and had to sideline and watch the police from a distance. This time got to know about the terror story, but not the whole, there were talks among the localites in Tamil (i do undetstand Tamil as its my mother tounge) and the taxis drivers hearing shots of gun firing in the CST station and nearby Cama Hospital. Everyone around was calm at the same time showd the usual Indian setiment and continued the conversation. Just then a Police jeep came in the middle of the road and few Pandus got down the road and started stopping the Cabs and bikes for check (not of much use). It was weired to watch a senior police scare the s*** of out two motorist by awkwardly pointing the gun at them. Once again they shooed us away, still not closer to the action, I rode towards Gateway, and ofcourse had to skip the Pandu (you need to know how to evade them on Mumbai roads at night) and reached Gateway from the Taj Towers end. As I aproached closer I could see lot of Police and crowd ...

The Art of Giving

While returning from Mahim Church, I saw a group of Koli women (Fisher women) alight from a long distance bus. Among them was an elderly women who found it difficult to get down the bus. As she was struggling to lay her feet on the road, the conductor who was standing outside the bus came forward to help her get down the bus. He held the elderly women's hand and supported her to alight. She got and touched the head of the conductor and blessed him. I was moved by this little incident and the gesture.

On the way back home, I couldn't shut the thought of this incident and it kept me . Then, I realized

"Give People. They Bless You"

Is giving so powerful? Yes, it can move the earth, if an asteroid gives a push.

I started thinking about all the giving that are immaterial, starting from my own ride.

Give way a motorist at ease
Give smile a co-worker performs
Give a look a heart delights
Give respect a waiter honored
Give attention a professor succeeds
Give time a child grows
Give confidence an athlete wins
Give support a soul strengthens
Give opportunity a life flourish
Give thought, life is all about giving!
