Fearless: The writing project

I tried to battle, I could not
Before I started I had lost
A feeling not known before
I knew I had grown up

What is fearless?

Less fear or no fear?
Fear but not fear?
Fear but not show the fear?
Fear but overcome the fear?
Feared for no fear?
Anti fear?
You knowing no fear?
Others knowing you dont know fear?

Fear noone but god?
Fear noone but unknown?
Fear noone but your fears?
Fear noone but the fear itself?

Rainbow: The writing project

A social worker lately told me, a person gives up coz they can’t see the end of the rainbow, in context of criminal rehabilitation!
Could not have been a better timing. Had it been different times I wouldn’t have agreed, but I think I would now. I used to not believe it before, when I used to think that people give up coz they want to but it appears that no body would ever want to.
When they can’t see the end of rainbow they lose faith. And that is when all is lost. This is what they would call theory of small wins. It’s important that we have smaller rainbows, through which we make the journey spanning the larger rainbow.

Create smaller goals. Whether it’s weight gain, violin lessons, career or even happiness. You need to see the end of the RAINBOW!

Quoted-Unquoted

• Some love is their in our life to just to teach us how to love unconditionally…… it doesn’t mean it it unimportant.. it is just that it’s the foundation no one ever sees!!
• When you hit rock bottom, remember there cant be a stronger foundation

Kolaveri Cult: the soup song

Here we have another phenomenon set to become a rage. Kolaveri Di- the soup song has just been released on youtube only 7 days back and its already clocked 2 million views. Well yes its obviously a rage but I still remember the 1st day when everyone was over facebook praising the song. Well yes I was sure something real and big was up.

Its a song that just gets to you and doesn’t leave. However I was just searching over the net for the true meaning of the song, but moreover I wanted to find out why it is such a rage. Now the answer I have come to find it noone really knows.
It lead me to question that why can’t it just be a good song. Well I found a few answers and a few I didnt. However came upon this blog giving a few meanings of the words in the song.

So here are a few words with their meanings as given in blog by krzna.

Soup: Love failure
Soup Boys: Guy who has been dumped by a girl
Soup Song: Love Failure Song
Moonu: Moon (also refers to Number 3 in Tamil)
Mama: Dude
Kolaveri: Murderous Rage/ Killer Rage
Di: used to usually call girls in a crude way (some says its shortened form of de(ar) and boys are called ‘da’ which is shortened form of darling)
Kai: hand
Bovu:   bye-bye shown by the girl resulting in failure

 

When someone around you is in pain

Say a joke; see if he still can laugh

Say something silly; see if he is still present to correct you

Do mistakes; Let him try and help you out

Do blunders; see he will scold you and vent his frustration out

Bitch with him; He will take other’s case and forget about his problems

Have a fight with him; let him bear this and get his mind off the other pain

Beat him up; again the pain is physical (don’t break his leg or something)

Take him for a ride or adventure; Thrill thralls pain

And even after this if it doesn’t improve then take him to a hill and dhakka de do saale ko ( push him from hill)

Used or Served??

Ok I am being told that my blog s turning to a dark blog but believe me I don’t care about the image.. I d rather write whatever I think I should… so here s another one….

Have you ever seen a pile of garbage, the ones you can sometimes find near garbage bins? And have you ever seen a clean dustbin with a single crushed and mashed napkin lying in it? So let us take the latter case coz its more easy to imagine and relate. So just think, had that napkin had been feeling lying around there? Used? Or having a sense of served the purpose?

 

 

“My thoughts in the next post.. Meanwhile you are free to pour in yours..  ( you have a week for that)”

Two styles to paint life!

There are painters in this world who are respected than there are those uncelebrated. But when all painters paint, every painting is as fresh a project as raising a new child.

But in essence the process of paining is either of 2 types. In the first style of painting a painter has a vision and knows exactly what he is painting. They know what will be where in the scene they are rendering. Most of the portraits are a result of this clearly. These painters never stroke their brush until and unless they are sure what is that they want there. Measured and clear they live their life risk free by planning ahead their painting.

Then there are the others. Others, who are neither devoid of any inspiration nor bound by it. Those who don’t paint their paintings but those whose paintings paint themselves. The painter starts painting and then the brush and colors takeover. The colors manifest themselves and so does the destiny of the art. These painters flow with the time and painting and come up with art that has created itself. These painters don’t shy away from giving the brush of their life in the hands of destiny.

Both the painters live together in harmony with each other in this world. However it’s difficult to guess after having a look at the painting that which of the two painters painted it.

Hoslon ki Udaan

So this post is inspired by someone’s FB status message I read today

“ Pankhon se kuch nahi hota, hoslon se udaan hoti hai”

You think everyone knows it? Everyone may ‘Think they know’ this but they don’t KNOW this.

It has happened many a times, I have seen people giving up on stuff just way to early. They call it early wise judgment. I call it crap!! Well it can’t obviously be generalized but you see those who can’t make that early judgment will lose on many occasions but those who do, will never make it extraordinary. Mind it, your second choice is always going to come before your first, and if you don’t have the confidence that you can get to the 1^st you will invariably settle for 2^nd.

It disturbs me a lot when people have so much uncertainty about if they deserve something or not, or if they can achieve something or not. I understand that this may be ingrained in their minds due to various experiences in their life but let me put it blunt if Life has not been fair till now it doesn’t mean it can’t become now(try gifting it a Fair & Lovely).

This is where Child Philosophy comes in handy. Ever wondered, had you backed down the first time you fell from your cycle, you could have never learnt to ride it?

Being a kid in this cruel world has many of its disadvantages but to make things happen you need to keep your child alive to make it big. Because let’s face it, the best part in a child is he has no memories of failures and I guess that should do the trick for us adults, NO EXTRA BAGGAGE.

Realization

Its 4: 18 in the morning and something has dawned over me that is not letting me sleep. It is the realization that there has been a lost couple of years in my life, which in short is my MBA life that I have spent without the craving to improve. Barring my 2 months at my internship which I spent well learning stuff I had pretty much stopped my time being contended being myself and being where I was . In fact it seems to me that I may have moved backwards. So in essence I don’t know what s going around in the world.

A realization is nothing if you don’t do anything about it. So I have decided to do something about it. So basically I need to improve in everything around me. So in short it means I am not done yet. The only conflicting thought that comes to my mind is where to draw the line. I know girls are usually very good at it and in fact manali keeps on telling me to get my priorities straight but that s the way we are, I mean messed up jokers who would always walk to one extreme or the other and lose a lot on the way.

So basically again it’s a pledge to set things straight, get priorities right and do what is meant to be.

 

PAIN!!

“Kuch nahi…its human to be low sometimes….nai?”

A comment by a friend of mine made me think about pain. I know it may not make sense to many, but it did to me.

What is pain? Is it always painful or say undesirable? In my view yes it is. For when you start enjoying the pain it’s no pain anymore.

Ever wondered something? When we used to be a kid, even a supposedly gentle nudge by anyone used to be much painful. The pin of the tetanus injection used to be a monster. In fact once I had an operation and I used to go for dressing to a local clinic, the doctor told my family not to bring me there but he will come to my house to do it; I used to create such a racket that his patients used to flee.  But when I grew up, slaps from teachers or those+ very same injections seem to be pretty normal and pain free. Certainly either my tolerance has increased or the definition of pain has changed.

But when I see elsewhere we all adults are tied in a similar phenomenon. No one considers the old pains pain anymore. But there is something else that has become more undesirable or painful. In short if I say the definition of pain has moved inwards; from skin to heart. How many times did we hear children going into depression when they lost a friend (or even a gf/bf as shown in the sweet McD ad). The pain that we adult feel, and that included just not the ones from love but also loneliness, worthlessness, ego etc, are probably much greater for us and obviously in our opinion is no match to those childly pains of injections and nudges.

But ever consulted a child on that? Probably you will be scoffed at. I don’t know who is correct and whose pain is more painful. But one question Is any pain even worth a discussion or thought?
