Smell of Sin

Sin doesn't need to be seen or demonstrated - it has its smell.

soul ghetto

After death - like-minded souls live together as a group - soul ghetto.

Lie

The biggest evil I see in 'Lie' is its power to hold you back from going back.

Saanjah Dukh

Once upon a time, two men were stuck on an isolated island. One was 'good,' and another was 'evil.' 

'Good' thought - it would be impossible to live with an 'evil.' But over time, they became friends - rather than partners to sustain their survival. 

And one day, 'good' realized that some of their agonies are similar.

Two hearts and a woman

Who was that woman 

who had a heart 

to keep 

Two hearts apart!

Divine web

It is fascinating that our casual moves and even mistakes like making left turns instead of right or choosing a particular parking spot are all part of a complexly tangled molecular web. These are nothing but signs that we are part of a divine game. 

As Einstein said: 'We all are dancing to the tune of nature.' 

There is no such thing called as an accident.

Kalifornia

(after the movie Kalifornia)

There are four kinds of people on this planet earth.

1. Evil. Just evil by nature. No guilt, no remorse.

2. Good but weak in character and insecure (primarily due to childhood psycho-trauma). They go under the umbrella of evil to feel protected. They live in denial of the presence of evil.

3. Good but unwilling to accept the existence of pure evil. They try to rationalize evil. They live on an axis of being non-judgemental.

4. Good and robust in the character who can see black & white.

Tunnel

As you gravitate in a tunnel 

and feels 

 there is no end to it  

- Believe me! 

finally

there is always a rear opening 

to an alley

Blind

He moved around, 

took care of his family 

but after years 

I found he is blind!!

A (very) short story

And one night, he died quietly.

Daddy!!

When that lean young man hugged his father at the twilight, he said: "I know I have to go all alone on this long and unknown road of life, but I will miss you, Daddy." 

His daddy felt the pain of those words right through his heart.

Born again

He had a wrecking train accident, and everybody thought he was dead. His sister took his body to the hospital, where devoted doctors and unique new technologies revived him back to life. He came home. When I met him, he was calm and strangely peaceful, like nothing had ever happened to him.

I just asked him a simple question: "to tumhari aankh kab khuli?" (when did you wake up?)

He replied: "jab main ne apni galtion ka aetraff ker liya" (when I accepted my mistakes)

SIGNS ARE EVERYWHERE

It's true and bizarre that every person gets to serve with "signs" to tackle everyday issues. It may come as a sentence from a friend or something written on the back of a truck or a talk show on the radio....but it's there....watch out.....SIGNS ARE EVERYWHERE.

Secrets of your child

Sometimes it's worth it to conceal your child's misbehavior from your spouse !! 

Opposite reactions from both parents may leave the child more confused and on the path of more mischievousness. Sometimes it's more worthwhile to let it go with few instructions.

Dominating Woman

I don't know what to write after the words "dominating woman"!

3 Rules at work

Always remember three rules in your professional work

1. Keep your eyes open

2. Keep your ears open.

3. Keep your mouth shut.

Gossip travels faster than light, except it is a Boomerang.

Adhura Love

As an immigrant, adjusting to a big city hospital where I went for my medical training was hard. He was my senior fellow. I survived and graduated due to the courtesy of his extreme support. We clicked from the very first day. He was a bizarre person. He used to sit at the nursing counter all night if a patient needed help. He only took small breaks in between to smoke. He was a chain smoker but cut down on cigarettes due to work. All women around lusted him, and he was equally popular, from arrogant surgeons to simple janitors. His personality was like butter - neither liquid nor solid, salty and energetic.

Woh sub ka tha magar kisi ka na tha

We graduated, parted, and met after three years. We spent all night roaming Chicago downtown in my navy blue Ford Mustang. He asked me to drive by the Congress Hotel, where he had a goodbye kiss from his lost love - years ago. 

Jis se usne apni roh se bhi barh ke muhabbat ki

He told me; she squeezed me up to my last drop that night before planting a shocking goodbye kiss. It explained his butter-like personality - in a state somewhere between life and death.

Woh sub ke liye mojud tha magar wahan na tha
