dettachments from attachments

Importance of the so called cell phone ..
there was a time when i refused to have a cell phone .. coz somewhere i thought i dont need it and after all i was just a student who didnt earn any money, so how could i add on the monthly expenses of the cell phones on my parents ..

then came the time when i had to take one ..then i bought my own cell phone .. well well well ...

Its not abt that phone .. but its abt my recent phone .. which accidently slipped out of my hand n fell flat on the floor ....it was nokia phone so i thought its okay .. i keep dropping my cell phones .. its not a new thing .. but when i picked it up ... its display was all cracked .. and so was my heart;s condition .. i had heard .. that it pains when u break something which was bought with the hard earned money .. yup i got to feel the pain ..whole day went in same thoughts :(
even went to the cell phone place .. they wont gimme a new phone .. not even anyphone ...
okay !

But i gotto have one soon .. these days i dont maintain any phone books ...so all the contacts are gone ..except the few which i remember .. thank goodness i still have some gray cells !

It hurts more coz i have never been tech savy .. but this time i splurged into the same race and spent quite a bit .. but of no use .. didnt even use it for 3 months .. aaahhhhh...

well i realised how materialistic i have become .. a simple breaking of cell phone reminded me of that .. and hence i decided tht such a small object cant make me feel sad .. or make me angry ..
Its worldly attachment ..

one small gadget ..thanks for the reminder ...

On the path of spirituality, if i want to climb one step higher ,
i got to dettach from the attachments !!!!!

Rain is falling cham chama cham ...

I love this line for some reason, and its apt for todays blog ..
yup its pouring again and its falling cham chama cham ...

How do i associate with rains
Earliest memories of it goes back to childhood days, running to get drenched in rain and mud..
walking with daddy ji on the streets of coming back from school, with those duckback shoes and raincoats ..jumping and splashing water all over

Then with passing years it changed to, having Garma garam chai and pakoda's ...

Then came the college days where rains meant having butta's walking on the streets of matunga.

today it was beautiful too in many ways :)

Mostly having samosa's at school !

Seems like it turned out to be a food blog ..
rather than something abt the rain ...

Sawan barse ...

something sweet from the mail as it was sent :)

I once read somewhere…..

You can not force a flower to bloom….

Nor can you force love to bloom….

It will unfold in it’s own time.

All my love,

At the shuttle stop

Apne bhitar chalti uthal puthal main
vyaasat insaan
kya ek pal ki bhi fursat nahin hai tujhe ???

Dekh zaara kitna sundar hai yeh jahan
aasmaa hi hai kitna vishaal
Kitne badaloon ko hai samete
jhalak rahe hain kitne raang isske ...

By wandering soul !
while waiting at the shuttle stop ... these lines had just come to me ..
It was a beautiful evening a little chilly and windy.
It felt like it was going to rain,the sky was filled with these clouds and it was showing all the possible colors, it was fall and the leaves were falling and flying along with the wind !!!

चलती उथल पुथल में व्यस्त इंसान
क्या एक पल की भी फुरसत नहीं तुझे ???

देख ज़रा कितना सुन्दर है यह जहाँ...
आसमा ही है कितना विशाल
कितने रंग हें झलक राहे इसके
समेटे है कितने बदलून को

Rainbow

Rainbow

It was thursday evening
when the rain had just stopped
and the sun was back again

I looked outside the window
and saw this beautiful array of VIBGYOR,
Bending from one end of the sky to the other
with the clouds clinging around this bow

So, there was this pond
with a water fountain surrounded with trees
with leaves that were yellow,red, green and orange

what a sight it was ,
the child inside me was awakened with the same excitement
as it had several years ago after seeing the rainbow
amongst those snowcapped mountains !

By wandering soul ...10/19/07 in B415,
while remembering the rainbow on 10/18/07




here is a pic .. clicked by my cell phone ..couldnt capture the real beauty with this
but i like it still :)

Oct 13' 2007 spectrum

Amost 20 days past and no entry into the blog world ..
seems like things are keeping u too busy !!!

Today was a great day,
getting up with alarms set for friday
once waking me up at 7 n then at 8 am
soon i realised it was saturday
slept for an hr or so ...
and in that hr many plans were made ..

rock show.... visiting temple in the evening !!!!
thats a broad spectrum

last 12 days

Last 12 days have been something in its own way
Nights have been longer than days, or the days were longer than nights

sometimes the day didnt move at all and at times they just flew by..
whatever it was, you were always in mind

Thoughts come and thoughts pass by
One moment looks so gloomy, other makes it all bright ..

Is this you or its just my imagination..
but the last few days have been a revelation ..

Is 12 just a number, or has it become something for me
Dec, the 12th month of this year, will eventually say it all to me ..

simple joys of life

Simple things in life always makes me happy, and some simple gestures fill life with much needed warmth in days when one is far away from loved ones. Staying away from home has become a way of life, i guess but on days like these when i am not feeling well, i do want to keep my head on my mom's lap or rest my head on my dad's shoulder or i miss being asked by brothers if i am feeling better or if i need something or what should i eat , have i taken my medicines, or being taken care of ..

how spoiled ! though i thank God for spoiling me :) by giving me this great family.

Today when i was not feeling well at all, a friend visited me just like that ..saw that i am not well .. asked me to get medicines ( i had been to health center, but they dont have any appointments till next tuesday, why do we pay health insurane if i cant even see a doc on the day when i need to anyways ..) i said yes, will go to pharmacy to get some though. and we talked and my friend left.

Its late in the night and its starting to get cold too, i hear a knock at the door, i looked through the pinhole and i cant see the person clearly, still i openned the door .. and here they were my medicines and i had nothing to say but thanks with a smile and he said, ' i couldn't see u like that, i had to get these for you' and then left from the door itself.I dint know what to say but this act did touch me. Good people are around where ever you are and i am thankful to God for such people and for good life.

Simple people ,simple gestures, didnt had to do it, but did it,
hope i can do the same, hope i have a heart like that simple and pure !

With each passing moment

With each passing moment
with each passing day.
Life shows us, many shades,
other than just white and gray..

Dreams come by in a moment
the very next moment breaks them too
I have not seen, the making or breaking of it in your eyes,
but the voice, reveals the unseen and unsaid too

You cannot deny the facts,
every time you revisits the dreamland
It fills you up with the same highs,
and takes you to the depths too ..

With each passing moment
with each passing day
Life, brings along a hope too !

wandering soul is wandering a lot these days and this attempt comes in such a journey, where the soul knows nothing but onething that he has to go on.hopefully the journey turns out to be fruitful !

Irony of life

kehte thee tum hamesha aur sunti thi main bhi hamesha
kehti thi main bhi hamesha , aur sunte the tum bhi hamesha

kya ab yeh sun ne ke liye bheekh mangni hogi
har koi to kehta hai , main bhi kehti hun har kissi ko

to phir aaj tum se kyun sun na tha mujhe
ek din maine hi to mana kiya tha tumhe yeh kehne ko

phir aisa kya hua, jo please keh ne ke baad bhi
naaa main sun saki , kyunki shayad tum keh naa sake

khamoshi tumhari sab keh gayi
khamosh mujhe bhi kar gayi shayad hamesha hamesha ke liye

baas dil main ek dard sa hua, hoton par haansi bhi aayi
ashru ban ke meri aankhoon se woh jhalak bhi aayi
