Kaash aisa hota ki milta sab chahne par...

Kaash aisa hota ki mujhe milta sab chahne par,

Taaron bhari woh raat aur woh neela ambar.

Na hota dukh dard aur na hi hoti pareshaani,

Tab duniya lagti kitni haseen, kitni suhaani.

Udd paata hawa mein, jaata chaand ke paar,

Hamesha hi jeeta karta, kabhi na hoti meri haar.

Sabko banata dost, dushman na kisi ko banata,

Jo bhi mujhe yaad karta, jhat se pohunch jaata.

Par kya kabhi aisa hoga, jab milega sab chahne par,

Dil ke armaan to bante hain, har pal, har manzar.

Terrorist attacks in Bangalore and Ahmedabad

Two serial blasts in two big industrial cities of India on consecutive days!
Seems, the terrorists have become fully aware that we are so much divided among ourselves that we will keep on fighting, instead of taking some action which will not lead us to play into their hands. The people of the country are divided on the basis of religion, caste, language, region and color. We just want to play the blame game. Some blame the Babri Masjid or Gujarat riots while others blame the minority appeasement and pseudo-secularity of the political parties. But the truth is that we have become so corrupt and full of hatred that nothing affects us enough. The need of humanity is that we should be united and fight the problems on each and every field.
What pains me the most is that whenever some incident happens, I could find in almost all the bulletin board portals, loads of inflammatory posts. May be the truth is that pain and suffering is the destiny of human beings otherwise why do we keep making the same mistakes again and again. Can't we show solidarity and perseverance even in the face of grave problems? Whatever be our religion or caste or region, the truth is that we all are humans. And killing innocent people is not what normal people do and those who do so can't be considered humans. If they are really humans, how can they attack a hospital where the victims are being treated?
Also, which war are the militants fighting? If they want to take revenge of injustice done, then they should take it in proper civilized forums. Please, two wrongs don't make a right. No religion teaches us to be violent and kill our fellow human beings. Come on, have some sense. The war over religions have been going on since thousands of years, yet there are hundreds of religions, faiths and beliefs. If the war is for land, then a land being won over the lives of millions of innocent people will never bear fruit. Please learn, that all of us are the children of the mother nature and mother nature will never forgive murderers of her own children.
In this hour of crisis, let's stand united, let's pray that peace should prevail on this earth and not pain!

Achievements

Sitting in front of my Dell XPS 1530, it really feels great. Want to really achieve lot more things in my life through hard work. It feels great to be in Software development field with more than 4 years of experience behind me. Really want to scale new heights. God knows if there are any more lives but want to live this life to fullest.

Though there are things which I wish had never happened, but it is really out of my control. Many times I have been face to face with defeat, grief and loss but what I have learnt is to keep going ahead. This is the biggest lesson for me and I try not to forget it.

Most of the times I try to adhere to my own words "Don't lose hope because hope is a rope that swings you through life" and yes I like those words.

Thoughts and Questions

The Blogger has become a kind of online diary for me. There are so many things I want to write but either I don't have time or just forget to write them. There are millions of questions which are just bubbling in my mind. I just have no idea whom to ask about it. I don't think that anyone can answer me correctly or even understand what I want to ask, because my questions are not straight forward, they are not even questions. It seems I have some thoughts which I would never be able to describe, which I would never be able to explain; thoughts which are not just concerned to me but this whole Universe.
May be others too have such questions/thoughts but I am not sure how many really ponder about these questions/thoughts or if even think about seeking answers to such questions or an explanation to their thoughts.
May be some questions are better left unanswered, some thoughts may be left for the time to provide the explanation for. But when is this time gonna come?
Am I supposed to wait for the eternity to get the answers to my questions?
Waiting for these above questions too....

Destiny...

What is Destiny? Do I have one? Who wrote mine? Does everyone have their own? Why is destiny so important? Can we re-write our own destiny?
There are so many questions which I have regarding destiny.
Well to be frank, I believe in destiny. But I also believe that destiny can be re-written if you have faith upon yourself.
Everyone has his/her own destiny and life of every person revolves around their destiny. It is not the force which keeps us down but it is the factor which plays the most important part in shaping our whole life. We must not take our destiny for granted but we should not be afraid of it also.
Destinies of many people are usually interwined and this leads to some new twist or turn in lives of people. Well I am not a pessimitic person but somehow I feel that we can't run away from our destiny. We should face our destiny with courage whether it is good or bad. After all it is the courage, faith and sense of hope that matters in life.

Birthday, again?

Today is my birthday and I am all alone here in Melbourne. It is really difficult to even guess where life is going to take you next. Last year on the same date, I couldn't have even imagined in my strangest dream that I would be here in Melbourne during my next birthday.
Well life takes us through bizzare twists and turns, no one is sure of what is going to happen next. What we could do is to hope that all be well.

Why so much hatred???

This is my 2nd trip to Melbourne and this time the place looks familiar. But just a day before my arrival, one of my friend in Melbourne who is also my team-mate was mugged by some 8-9 drunk people. They tried to snatch his purse, beat him up and also tried to strike him with a bottle. He was lucky to have escaped with minimum damages but still got a ligament tear in his shoulder. The guys who attacked him also abused him racially. It was a real sad event and a very bad experience for my friend.
What I fail to understand is why do we keep so much of hatred for each-other? People hate each other on the basis of language, caste, color, nationality, economy and God knows what reason! Can't all of human beings live on this earth in peace and tranquility, can't we learn to love and respect each other?
Hatred is the bane of humanity and it needs to be suppressed. We must let love rule our earth and our minds.
But then earth will not remain earth, it will become heaven....isn't it?

Questions?

With each passing day I am more and more awe struck with how life behaves in very different ways with us. There are so many questions about which I have no answers and everyday more and more such questions keep getting added to my list.........I have no idea as to when can I have answer to all my questions which I have ready for life.
Sometimes I have a question like, "Why me?". Other times it is "When?" or "Who?" or "Where?" or "How?" and most times "What???". Anyways, life keeps behaving differently with me with each twist and turn that it brings into my life. Again I have a question as to why so many twists and turns or even more specific why life??? Many people say that we all are born in this world with some special purpose but I have no idea as to what is my purpose or is there any purpose at all???
Who is going to answer all my questions is an even bigger question? God or who knows.....
Still I am falling in love with life more often than not.....
Who knows when, where or how I will get answer to all my questions....Will I be an enlightened soul then....Who knows?

Optimism

"Night slowly dies down as the rays from red and angry sun slowly cuts through the canvas of darkness; but not before vowing to return back soon, very soon."
Pessimism makes us percieve things in a way it is actually not, where as Optimism pushes us for better. Nothing else in life matters more than being an optimist.
But a person can never be a 100% optimist or pessimist; it's always a blend of both these philosophies that makes a person who he is.
My motto from now on is to be optimist for most of the times and keep pessimism to as low as possible.
