Life was difficult without you.....

It was so difficult to live without you. Since I had stepped my feet on the most coveted land of the world, I had been missing you. Such a great companion who never expected anything from me, you were so low maintenance. You were always there for me whenever I needed you. I just love you. But......
Today I am not missing you that much as I used to be, because I have found a new one. A dusky one but so sleek so smooth & soft that I call it my black beauty. But still you will remain my first love because you came first. I learnt, whatever I know, from you.
All the chords I know, all the scales I know, whatever songs I can play on you, I learnt from nowhere but from you. It was a relationship of almost 1 year when I had to leave you at my home where, I don't know, how you would be feeling, how my Mom & others would be taking care of you. I pray you would be fine & will give me the same sound when I come back.
Now listen about my newly found black beauty. After lots of search & much struggle one day I met it on the internet, it was so lovely that I couldn't resist to make it mine. And within 1 week it was with me. I unbuttoned it & just held it in my hands, it was lovely, it was pretty & as I connected it to my little Amp, it did sound even better.
Hope the Love I've grown up with you, will continue to flourish with it.

Rise in Love or Fall in Love

"I have fallen in love with her", yesterday one of my friends was telling me pointing to one of her friends. He is not the type of guy who, I believe, had ever been in these things. He did well in his academics & then in his career too. His colleagues used to think that he was a diligent guy, all of his bosses were impressed by his sincerity, attitude & performance. He has been giving good results & always rising since his first day in the corporate culture.
That is what the point of my thinking that a person, who had never fallen in his life, was saying that he had fallen & that’s in LOVE. As much I've heard & understand from others' experiences that love brings happiness in life, it makes you a better person, it gives you a confidence you need and so on. Then how can anybody fall in love. All those characteristics of love I know do not ally with this at least.
In my opinion, if you have started liking somebody and, you think, not just you want to live but you can't live without him/her, then you are in love. And when you are in love, you don't fall in love but you rise in love.

So what is your take on that? Have you fallen in love :-)?

Lead India..II

Two simple alphabets...D...O, place them side by side however & they form a word powerful enough to turn mass of people into a nation.......
Do
The last time we decided to Do or Die it changed the map of the world.
Today we reached to a stage where the eyes of the world are on us again.
So what are we going to do?
How are we going to change a land of philosophers into a land of Doers?
Are we going to keep thinking about what we should be doing or do something about what we are thinking?
Are we going to simply shrug our shoulders & blame our infrastructure & our bureaucracy or are we going to roll-up our sleeves, get up & actually do something about it?

The truth is this.... thinking may happen from an arm chair but doing must happen from your feet.
Thinking may be a great way of getting things started but doing is the only way to get things done.
And let’s face it, you never really caught in a traffic jam, you are the traffic Jam.

Today we are in 60th year of independence, 60 full years, more then a half a century but we are still happy being called an Emerging Economy, a Potential Superpower or a Sleeping Tiger. This must change.
& it’s only possible when some of us dare to be the change

Let’s stop basking about a glorious future & day dreaming about a great future.

Let’s start by dominating today & domination………

……..DOmination starts with DO.

Lead India..... - I

Scene:

Police-man is sleeping in his official vehicle.

It’s raining. Kids are playing in the street. One tree has fallen down may be because of strong winds or heavy rain. Unfortunately, tree is in middle of the road & has jammed the traffic. Everyone is blaming local authorities for not clearing the obstacle in their way because of which they are not able to move towards opportunities lying ahead in their way.

One Gentleman : Isliye tax bharte hein kyaa (Frustrated person is shouting why the hell do they pay taxes). But I don't think there is anybody noticing him except one policeman who just shows him a stick & ask him to go away.

PA of a local politician : Sir aapke liye us paar car ka intezaam kiya hai (Sir we have managed a car for you other side of the broken tree). But I don't think this person even deserve to have a cycle on public expenses.

One Girl : I just hate this country (Must be coming from somewhere where there is no problem). But I think she should first hate herself that she is saying these words.

Either everybody is cursing somebody for this thing, or they are just not bothered enough to see what is happening there. People are just somehow managing to pass this obstacle in their own way.
Kids are playing

In this turmoil, we see a kid, must be coming back from his school, seeing everything, noticing his fellow countrymen, suddenly realizes that there is nobody who is thinking of removing this log of wood from the road so everybody could move forward. He gets down from his school bus & starts walking towards that obstruction lying down in his way to his home.

Still he is not noticeable.

Few People are still cursing somebody who is not there to reply them.
Few are just not worried about anything because they are not compelled to care about that.
Now that little boy comes closer to the tree, drops his bag, & starts pushing the tree. Not to surprise, it is not even quivering a little bit. He is still trying but of no effect. Now people start noticing him but they are not even thinking of helping him. Everybody is cursing the mess but nobody is bothered enough to help this kid in clearing this mess. Suddenly some street kids join him. Then few people join him, few more & after sometime its sizable number of people who could push that tree out of the road.

This was one of the videos for promotion of Lead India initiative from Times group.

I don't know why but I was so much moved by this clip that it brought tears in my eyes. I was not thinking what those people were doing, I was thinking if I have done anything which could bring me a closer to this daring boy. Answer was affirmative but few times. That means I still need to work hard with honesty & sincerity for getting more 'Yes' then the 'No' when answering this question.

Today I am asking myself this question. What about you?
