The Treasure Within!

Nature speaks the truth—as morning begins after night. The tree sheds its leaves, The ornaments are stolen by thieves, Oh, and the beautiful rainbow gives only momentary pleasure. O silly human heart, Your roam to Rome ought to end— Look within for the peerless treasure. Are you afraid to walk alone through the woods? Remember, the lion rules the place alone. The bravest of hearts toil in solitude, While the heartwarming materialism of things and connections Remains the comfort zone. But Captain, you may deny the warmth of comfort, For in your heart must ignite the eternal fire. For you are the King— You abandon all of your desire. What may stop you, when The Buddha meditates with you, The Holiness walks with you, The Courage resides in your vein. You—the King— You worship all the sourc...

You, the Champ! 🏆

तुम भरोसा रखना ख़ुद पर जब तुम्हारे हाथ काँप जाएं, हिम्मत रखना कि तुमसे डर भी डर जाए। यूँ ख़ुद को निराश मत करना कि कौन क्या कहेगा, तुम्हारे दर्द, तुम्हारी तकलीफ़ कोई और नहीं सहेगा। तुम ही तुम्हारा साथ और रब हो, आज अगर साथ नहीं तो तुम अपने साथ कब हो?  फ़िक्र ज़माने की तुम करना नहीं, ख़ुद को माफ़ करना, ख़ुद से तुम लड़ना नहीं। यक़ीन करो कि तुम्हारा दिन आएगा, सपने सच होंगे, दिए फिर जगमगाएंगे। तुम रोना नहीं, ख़ुद को खोना नहीं। एक परीक्षा तुम्हें क़ाबिल साबित कर सकती नहीं, एक हार तुम्हारी हैसियत परख सकती नहीं। तुम्हारी ज़िंदगी इस एक परीक्षा से कई बड़ी है, इसमें सफल हो जाओ तो वाह क्या बात है! अगर ना भी हो, तो भी समझना तुम्हारी बहुत औक़ात है। जो साथ हैं, उन्हें साथ रखना, जो नहीं, अलविदा कह देना। तुम अकेले नहीं हो, पर तुम्हारी ज़िम्मेदारी सिर्फ़ तुम्हारी है, तो आज पास हुए या निराश, मुस्कुराओ, क्योंकि जीत दोनों में तुम्हारी है! Well Done Champion! 🏆

Full Stops and Pink Seats

                                                                                                            As the elevator takes you down, And you adore yourself in the mirror, Maybe the love bomb seems scarier to you, But the authorities search for scary bombs or knives. Amidst the crowds and roars, We stay ignorant of the cottages Spelling tales of the silent wives. The clock that attracts the Potter heads— No time for reminiscing, We board the moving, pretty vessel instead. Strangers around, sometimes the awful smells, And I—sandwiched between men— Breathless, I count till ten. Avoiding the rush, The early arrival gifts a pink seat. How do we explain The safety found in the women’s coach, Even when there are...

How to live again when you have lost all hope?

  "Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree." — Martin Luther Life — the greatest teacher, the strictest Nazi, and the most generous Lord. At one point, it takes us to great heights; at another, it slips right out of our grasp. Death, often seen as the antonym of life, sometimes surpasses life itself in teaching. Moreover, there are times when life hugs us, only to become a betraying friend—throwing us off the edge of a cliff without warning. They say, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” But they completely ignore the fact that sometimes, life takes away the strength even to get out of bed, to switch on the lights, to reach the kitchen, to wash the dishes, and then finally to make that lemonade. When you’re overly stressed and slowly slipping into depression, this is what life does to you—it drains you so much that even the most basic activities feel like climbing mountains. Your bed pretends to be your grea...
