dukh

Agar koi mujh se pooche ke duniya ka sub se bara dukh kiya hai to main kahun ga - apni aulad ko bebasi se bimar aur dukhi dekhna !! Aaj us 'ma' ki muskurahat ke peeche jo dukh tha, kiya main us ki gharaii kubhi bhi mehsoos ker paunga (I pray, I don't have to go through that). Us bachhe main dard sehne ki jo bepanha quwaat hai, woh shayed us ki 'ma' ke aansuon main pinha hai !

2 kinds

There are two kinds of people in this world.

1. Regular or ordinary people like us who live life under logic. We apply logic in every decision in life ..like getting married, choosing a career to buy a car, etc.

2. Who you can call 'nuts' or, as in Hindi/Urdu, 'dhuni.' They just do things as they want to. Nature has tuned them to choose a specific path for no particular reason. Some of these people have been labeled failures, stupid, or pagal in their contemporary world. These people write the history of humankind and influence millions over centuries. These include scientists, musicians, artists, poets, singers, teachers, sportspeople, warriors etc.

Are you the core 'dhuni' or nature's regular unchosen masala?

new generation

There is so much talent in this new generation. They just need someone to guide them or give a boost or a little help. I met three young roommates - a perfect match. One is a good voice, the other plays instruments, and the third is a good lyricist. Then I met this group of talented guys and a pretty young girl who wanted to do a film but looking for a financier or any well-known director. I hope a generation after me finds a way into their heart. I don't want them to walk on the heartless roads carved by others.

Mohammad Hussain uncle

Aur woh log bhi the, jinoh ne mujhe bachpun main baap jesi shafqat di. Jawani main mujhe na pehchan paaye aur jub main ne apna taaruf karaya to aaj aankhon main pyar ke saath saath fakhar bhi tha. Mohammad Hussain uncle waalid ke dost the. Apne darmiyane qad ke saath, aaj bhi wese hi neele shalwar kameez main malboos the. Waqt ne baalon main chandi bhar di thi magar muskurahat aaj bhi wese hi maasum thi.

Is duniya main kuch masoom log aate hain, pyar ki khusbu hulke hulke bikher ke chal dete hain magar unki kahani koi nahi likhta. Ye woh log hain jin ki maasumiat maut ke baad bhi wese hi qaim rehti hai..hamare dilon main, hamare khawabon main!

A fine balance

On my 6th birthday, my father gave me the "balance," which used to hang on my wall. After so many years now, I realized what that means. The art of living is to achieve "balance" in all aspects of life.

A Fine Balance, as said by Rohinton Mistry.

Alas!

Alas!! Human life goes through 3 phases.

"I will do this"
"I have time to do this"
"Why I didn't do this"

Spiritual families

He was different. Tall with a Texan accent and hair with a pony !! He said to me: "All over, there are 40 kinds of people. You will be surprised to find two exact personalities, even look alike, born on two different continents. Like botanical and zoological families, we humans have our own spiritual families or classes" !!!

Decisions

Decisions in life are like fruits on the branches (events) of the tree (life). Once ripe! They will quietly fall into your heart!! (and at that moment, your heart will know what to do)!

bachpun ke dost

Zindagi main aksar,
tanhaii main aakar
woh dost
hum se batain kerte hain,
jo zindagi ki bhul-bhulaion main
hum se kahin kho gaye hain

naik amal

Achhe kaam pe kharch kiye huwe paise, kahin na kahin insaan ki hifazat zaroor kerte hain !!

swimming

Tum ne mullah nasiruddin ki woh hiqayat to suni hogi ke, aik shaks ne teraki (swimming) ke mozun per kai kitabain parhi magar jub terne gaya to doob gaya!!

vanvaas

Hur koi zindagi main aik 'van-vaas' kaatta hai. Main ne bhi kata hai, tum bhi kato ge. Meri dua hai, tumhara 'van-vaas' mukhtasar ho.

Qudrat ka mazaq

Ye bhi kismat ki aik azeem sitam-zarifi hai, jeese kehte hain - chirag tale andhera!! Ye koi pehli baar to nahi huwa. Hamesha qudrat aese mazaq kerti rehti hai ya shayed koi sabq dena chahti hai.

Us aurat ne teen bete jawan kiye. TeenoN ko doctor banaya aur teenoN 'anesthesiologists', jin ka kaam hi "protection of airway" hota hai. Magar un ki ma aaj sirf is liye qabr main leti hai ke jub paramedics ghar aaye to "they were unable to insert endo-tracheal tube" !!
