Why me?

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over -- 5o million children start playing tennis, 1 million learn to play tennis, half million learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?". And today in pain I should not be asking GOD "Why me?"

His another famous quote: "From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life."

Store room

Jub main aur meri biwi, Harrison Ford aur Michelle Pfeiffer ki film "what lies beneath" dekh ker theatre se bahir aaye to main ne apni biwi se kaha "Kiya bakwas hai!"

Us ke kuch dinoN baad ki baat hai...hamare makan main aik store room tha jo bawarchi khane ke bilkul peeche the. Bijli bachane ke chakkar main thekedar ne beech ki deewar main jaga bana ke bijli ka bulb yun laga diya tha ke aik hi bulb se bawarchi khana aur store room dono roshan rehte.

Main kisi kaam se store room main gaya to mujhe mehsoos huwa ke wahan koi hai. Pehle to main ne socha mera wahma ya dur hai magar jub cheezain khud b khud hilne lagi aur khud mujhe jhanjhore jaane laga to main ne us ger maraei makhluq se kaha ke agar mujh se baat kerna chahte ho ya meri madad chahte ho to batao magar woh yunhi mastian kerta raha. Main ne kaha, agar koi insaani ruh ho aur yahan phans gaye ho to batao shahyed main tumhare kaam aa sakun magar ab us ne zor se bijli ka heater shuru ker diya. Mujhe gussa aa gaya, main ne kaha: "Dekho ! tum jo koi bhi ho, hum insaanon ko tum per foqiat haasil hai. Sirf masti theek nahi. Agar yahan se nikalna nahi chahte ho to pare raho aur ye saari mastiaan band karo".

Meri baat sun ker sub kuch khamosh ho gaya aur ab store room main kuch nahi hota. Shahyed woh wahin rehta tha aur rehna chahta tha. Magar ab sochta hun ke us ne mere saath ye harkat kiun ki ?. Ye batane ke liye ke jo kuch us film main dikhaya gaya, sub bakwas nahi tha?. To kiya woh store room main rehne ke saath saath hamare saath ghuma phira bhi kerta tha?

Maazur

Aur us poori raat woh karwatain badalta raha jub use bataya gaya, us ke haan maazur (handicap) bachha paida huwa hai. Us bachhe ka khayal hai ke duniya main sub achhe hote hain, koi bura nahi hota. Zindagi sirf haseen hai aur khel khud aur khilonon ka naam hai. Jis cheez ki tamanna karo mil jaati hai. Sub dost hain. Insaanon ke beech koi deewar nahi hoti. Koi ajnabi nahi. Hur ghar sub ka ghar hai..... Peechle saal haloween pe jub logon ne bhoot aur churailon ka roop dhara to unhe dekh ke us pe mirgi ka dora par gaya ke ye mukhlooqain insaanon ke beech kese aa gain?

Kiya achha hota us ka haan bhi aik normal bachha paida hota, jo waqt ke saath zindagi ke daao pej sikh pata. Kamingi, zor zabardati, keena parwari aur matlabi hone ke gun paata.

Ab zindagi ki aakhri saans tak is bojh ko utha utha ke saath phiro.

mindsets

There are no good angels or bad angels. 
They are just meant to "run affairs" by setting up human mindsets!
