2015: Musical Rhythms of Life!

I started the year with her chirps on the mind and it gonna end with the same.

I realized-

I have some gems in the form of friends and some extended family.

There is no better profession than being in academics. Need "a bit" Attention!

There is no better place than surrounded by your people.

Once in a while, it is good to visit places a bit far away than you call your own.

Whatever on mind is on right track! Stay on edge, it is good for health!

Blessed V! 

People are musical rhythms of life. Some are sweet and peaceful. Some are senseless and cacophony. The choice is always there with us, what we want to tune.

Singing Bird!

I want to sing like the birds sing

Not worrying about who hears or what they think.

~ Rumi

Bullying and Lynching Disorder!

Bullying and lynching is a disorder. Some have light form while it is severe in so many other cases. So-called rightists are suffering the worst. Someone said rightly, one cannot deal with them in their language. "There is always a human tendency to fall at the attacker's level. Avoid that." The best is ignore if it is just online. If it is beyond that then fight back and take appropriate stand. 
But amidst all this, keep your peace zone with you and do what you must do. 
When people cannot get what they want then they apply "poly-tricks". Best tricks are spread rumours, hit at vulnerability zone/s and divert attention from your productive zone. 

I came across some hilarious commentary about me. Have a look:
"Drunkards" talked about a teetotaler (me) like that person is alcoholic! 
Left no friend in "their visibility zone" with whom they have not linked!
Foreign trip means getting hooked and having one night stands!
And so-much crap is there in the form of twists that they did not feel like to spare even dead persons, lil kids and even pregnant lady in the family. For them, my friends and friends of friends all are mad people! Oh! And these commentators, saviour of culture are compassionate people. May God bless this compassion to their own near and dear ones? 

When such things happen, we may think that it is happening just with me. I had a look at commentary zone on some people's social site's posts, I was following and it was like grrr. They hit each and every that person who does not fall to their so-called "rightist line" or "bow to them".  

When I write, I write from heart and reflects well my true feelings at that particular time. This is true about most scribblers till the time they start acting or working as professionals. I took many decisions from my heart, heart and head mix and purely by head. Probably that is how we evolve. I just love myself the way I am. I love the people, I love. I will have the same friends, whom these haters detest and same crazy family and relatives. Let the people show their bullying and lynching disorder publicly. 
Many people have suggested me stop this scrabbling on social sites. It makes you vulnerable. Who cares!

Wonder, if books can remove all ignorance; some questions/clues. We need curiosity, common-sense, internet and expertise help I guess.

"Court"esy: Raj College!

धूमा उठे त उठन दे!

It looks like two sweethearts met after so many years, under so many cameras and CID eyes and their people following them. What could happen to words under so many watching eyes? Kinda no need for words. Words went awry. Look at the eyes, face and overall body language. SURVEILLANCE EFFECT? 

Ye rondu-bhondu songs

Not my type!

Even "Koyi Diwaana Kahta Hai" was from Chirkut's errr orkut's wall. That is different thing I also like that poem ;)

Let's listen to my type 

Bole tere kadwe kadwe

Music is My Life!

My life is music and

V were not born to follow

Difference between Old 

"Life is bitter pill to swallow"

And New

Life is like a rose with some thorns

But worth to lead, not follow blindly :)

Every problem has some solution

And we will find a way:

Transition Time?

Western or Eastern? 

Different culture? 

Much difference? 

Or more or less economic and development stage difference? 

Oppressed or liberated? Both have cons and pros just like anything else. 

People who attack on the name of culture, tradition or so-called Eastern or Western culture/ disturbance, have nothing to do with all this. The truth is most of the attackers rarely understand these terms in true sense. What they truly understand is control either by hook or crook. Yes! Such people are control freak. When such people feel something is going out of their control, it is then that they attack. In true sense, these are insecure people. Their control as well as, impact can only be local, in their limited surrounding just like their enclosed minds. They need blind followers. They are not capable either to convince by their so-called intellect or take any legal route. Almost always, such suppressors are illegal kalakaars with manipulations! They believe in the short vision for short time-period just like their local effects.

I feel that to some extent this oppression period of ModiRaj is good for "the winds of change". It is good in the sense that common people like me probably never ever pondered over so many topics with such seriousness. It is in such oppressed times that people realize their true strengths and identities. Such times act as catalysts of change. That change will be good or bad depends on those who could stand up against such vicious forces. Herd behaviour, in general, follow the current but we were not born to follow.

Beyond Materialistic World

Nature has beauty and mysteries all around

There is charm, enigma and romance in it

There is adventure and wilderness

There are risks and wonderment

She invites, attracts, gives a peace of mind 

Rich experiences worth a lifetime

Some trip on the mind 

The Hi5 Journey!

From Hi5, orkut to FB. 

Wow! What a journey! 

The innocence of that Hi5 journey is still there. The difference is then jealous and hate mongers were less. Now that number has increased a bit. But then same is true about those who like.

I have been introduced to Kumar Vishwas by Orkut. 

Used to call that Chirkut! 

And this poem is still one of his best. 

Hansna yahan bilkul mana nahi hai ;)

Happy Teacher's Day!

None can be a better teacher than life. We come across every day so many situations and people who teach us something. Surrounding has its impact in various ways. Over the years, analysis says, we thrive well only among our type of people. The more the difference, the less content will be the life and so productivity. One can thrive in the diversity of tolerance. Intolerance will always try to murder the rationality. Only leaders can pave the way and lead next generation of leaders, not the Hitlers! Only parasites can grow in the shadows of dictators or may be grass types can thrive well. 

Is not it something strange that an average student thrive so well in the western world but keep on struggling here without much productivity?  Environment matters. Surrounding effects. Working style of any institute matters. How seniors lead and how much space they give to their juniors do matter. Most senior faculty and authorities in higher institutes of learning are termites. They are eating every educational institute here. Hitler kinda shadows are trying their best to suffocate the fresh environment. On whatever name, they do not wanna allow to pass the fresh air/ideas. The stinking  drains on whatever name, are the most polluted drains. These stinking people are fighting for chairs, for power shares. There is an open show of show-offs, to who's who, so-called mighty, they belong, and know somehow. They do not have any value for words. Fairness is a far cry here. 

Celebrate teachers day! Greet each other and tell such a good teacher you are. Remember, most useless "fatitures" and say wow! It is due to these teachers we are what we are today! And where we are today? 

On teachers day, a tribute to all those rational who had been killed by stinking, too narrow, intolerant murderers in this region. And a hard slap on the emerging Talibani forces. That is what I have been taught by "my teachers" -- "Be Fearless"! 

And that is what I would love to teach my students. Raise your voice against any wrong or any dictator even if that is against me! Stop behaving like slaves. Stop this "culture of chamchas and kadchaas"! Fight for your rights and take care of your duties. Learning or teaching is not just about some fake papers in the form of so-called degrees. It is a life-long process. Be a worthy holder of that.

What A Name!

My Wonderland!

We love some places for some reason

Some just for the sake of being born there

Some for the way of life

Some for the overall comfort and ease

Some for the beauty of nature

Some for the diversity of culture

Some as we have spent some part of our life

And all the memories related with that

Some are wonderful in its own ways

That we cannot ignore but just love

Simply for the way it is!

This is just one among so many places, I Love.

A Wonder World!

Of Cuteness and Sweetness

 

Everything is Possible! Believe!

We can achieve, what we believe

A good song in the morning makes a day :)

Treasures of life!

Different treasures for different people

My treasures are Faith and Belief 

We can do whatever we believe

Have This Hope in Heart and Be Yourself

Determination and Persistence are the Keys

Teach Lesson! Do Not Keep Silence!

Teach Lesson!

That is what gals must be taught to deal with the situations of molestation or any kinda harassment. But what our society teach us, force us and compel us? Keep Silence! 

Came across such a wonderful short film on this topic:

Happy Friendship Day!

Friendship is a ship 

Of share and care 

Mutual trust fare

Has Instinctive vibes

Weather swings survive

Give light in dark night

On rough waves smooth ride

Some sweet songs apt for this beautiful bond ;)

Live Your Passion! Love Your Passion!

Live and love your passion

That is the Ultimate

All other is bakwas! 

No cage can cage such a person

Such persons live their free spirit 

Each moment of life is kinda sweet beats!

My Review of "Stillness"

My review of "Stillness" by Feroze Varun Gandhi

A must read for all vulnerable.. ;) 

Looks like different faces

Totally different personalities

Masked somewhere under layers!

From the one, we saw in violent

Hard-core fundamentalist kind skin

To the vulnerable, soft kid within!

Wrapped in colors of different hues

Kinda nothing like black and white

Human's world is the whole rainbow!

Zindagi Aa Raha Hoon Main

Typical Indian Drama!

Ghar-Ghar Ki Kahani

Thori khatti, thori mitti

Thori sachi, thori jhooti

Thori aisi, thori waisi

Na jaane kaisi-kaisi

Chote logon ki 

Badi-badi kahaniya

Bade logon ki

Choti-choti kahaniya

Apne ghar ki chupayen

Aur

Auron ke gharon main

Jaanbujhkar aag lagaayen

Kaikeyi jaise chugalkhoron ki

Hoti hain ye nisaaniyan 

Haah! Typical Indian Drama ;)

Cut Crap and Life is Musical Magic!

Some types we come across

In general, people are good. In general we trust people. But at times, life can find itself in some kinda whirlpool. It can come to you out of nowhere and can drag even against your will to the worst kinda non-sense. World is perhaps much more than our easy, happy go lucky rainbows. We have many varieties here.

Happy Quotient: Happy go lucky stuff. You chose happiness and surrounded by such people, mean negativity cannot stay with you for long. Such people keep you floated even in worst times. Highly optimists.

Support Group/Help Desk: Where you can share anything under the sun without any judgement or bias to get a better solution, direction and clarity. 

Negativity Spreadsheets: Talk with such people even for a short time means world is worth for nothing. No one is good and nothing can improve. Total pessimists. 

Toxic Wastes: They are like closed tins who have accumulated carbon monoxide and other poisonous gases over time, enough to suffocate self and the surrounding.

Tumour-Rumour Zone: They have nothing to talk about themselves. To kill time, these people need to kill the facts, either by ignorance or willingly, by twisting and adding all type of mirch-masala. Chatpata chat to tabhi banega na ;) 

Poison Zone: Beware! May god save you from that. They can murder you by feeding suicidal poison even sitting far away. 

Learning Spots: So many. You just need to have an eye for that. 

Core Group: They will be there with you in all seasons.

A Culture of Convenience

A culture's history and its evolution, talks about its relevance at that particular time. It also talks about the contributing factors, struggles, changes and adaptations over time. Human history of evolution, migration and mixing of different people and their culture are the catalysts of these changes. 

I wonder when people talk about globalization and accept whatever is convenient to them but show their narrow rigidities whatever doesn't match benefit their interests (read petty interests). These people do not talk directly about their own petty interests and big egos but take the excuse of culture. Ask them what is a culture? How you define that? Just like Indian diversity, different people's views on that gonna be so diverse. 

Start from Hinduism and some will define it some religion, some will define it some way of life and some will go on explaining all kinda "karm-kaands"! You will come across from typical Talibani to moderates to liberals type. And if we look at human's evolution and migration then we are a mixture of all those (Scientifically speaking haplogroups)! So when people take the excuse of culture, in a try to kill other's right then they talk about in general, their own convenience of culture. Such people cannot look at things from other's point of view. They have zero scope for any kinda flexibility as they are blinded by their own vested interests. 

Was that shocking to listen to the views of rapist's in "India's Daughter" documentary with zero guilt and regret and on that taking the excuse of culture? That is our culture? Here sick people try to hijack women's right by applying their own sense of convenience to the culture, which is as diverse and vast as India. Teasing, molesting, stalking, snooping, spying, doing worst kinda privacy violations, rape, gang rape are part of such people's culture! Are we far away from Taliban?

Public lynching and talking, posting all that publicly, with the silent support of our popular government/s is common here. And they will teach that -- this is our culture.

Better call that Culture of Vultures! This is Indian Culture OR A Culture of Convenience? Or all cultures are like that?

Note: I will continue this topic and will come with more posts overtime, which may be highly offensive to some "The Dual Characters"! So better for those people stop reading this blog.

Dance with Rhythms!

For people who love to dance, exercise with rhythms ;)

Election-mania and 10-lessons

1. When people are not competitive enough, envious and jealous or feel insecure then they spread rumors and try to divert your attention from your work either by hook or crook. Anyhow one needs to stay focused! 
2. Meeting people face to face and having even lil-bit conversation has its own value. We come across the real characters only in the face to face talk. No technology can overpower that.
3. Having some  fan following or image or reputation either by hook or crook is one thing and having some character is another. How one behaves when no-one is watching is the real character. 
4. In general, public image is a masquerading art for most! The chances of having this masquerading art and its depth’s difference from the real are directly proportional with the required traits and size of the chair and stake! 
5. Fake public relations manager cannot help at that front for long without any kinda  real improvement and capabilities.
6. Actions speak louder than words! Words can fool only for some time. Actions impact last long.
7. World is all about possibilities! Anything is possible with good intentions, hard word and persistence. 
8. You are the change and the society. You are that catalyst, which can make that happen!
9. Purpose driven life is like a river water that knows, how to make its way through different kinda hurdles!  
10. लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती।- हरिवंशराय बच्चन ;) 

HAPPY V-DAY!

Happy V-Day 

 V for Victory

 V for Love

V for We 

Lets celebrate the love for each-other

Happy V-Day to those who love to be loved back

To those who share, care and remain there!

Irrespective of caring about good or bad times

Irrespective of where you stand at particular time

Irrespective of distance, job, family and busy times

Irrespective of lil-bit differences, arguments and fights!

Happy V-Day Friends! 

Enviable Fitness Standards

Some people diet and have a very hard exercise schedule to maintain themselves. Errr rather to maintain some body weight balance. Some gals do amazing things like that in gyms. ;) 

See the last post. Simply wow na? 

And some are genetically gifted. They do nothing rather they are simply perfect the way they are.

Then there are some exceptions, who need to take care of their regular and proper "food-intake" to gain some weight for some balance. I belong to this latter category and this gift is rather than genetically more of a habitual gift. I think people who have lived in hostels for long period of time (years) either loose or gain weight there.  And that becomes a habit. In my case, it was loss, loss and loss of weight overtime. I never ever liked that spicy hostel food. Friends used to make jokes of that skeleton and grandparents used to give a lecture on that. It was in M.Sc. when I stated caring of my food habits. Since then my weight is almost-almost balanced. It seems Kareena has learned that from me ;)

I do not envy gals (even guys ;) who have enviable fitness standards rather I have them as my friends in real life or fellow bloggers for inspiration. I feel, at times, adversities give some strange kinda advantages also. In those advantages, I cannot ever forget an accident , turning cycling into kinda obsession as a routine. Do not know why, I start feeling bad automatically, if I skip that even for few days! 

I do not like gyms, never ever joined any. I am a nature lover so love walk as well as swimming but in pleasant weather only. What I realized overtime is that sleeping late night and waking up early and not having any kinda food in that time period do cause automatic some weight loss err balance. Weather does affect eating habits and so weight. Summer means need to take care of food intake. But winter means lots of "gaajar ka halwa", so no need to take care of any so called food intake. I hate it when some people "especially elders" come to my home without any gajar ka halwa. Did I say anything to someone? Naah! And Haan! I do not need any enviable fitness standards rather to keep the balance; I just need "Gajar Ka Halwa"!

Beautiful Rhythms!

Rhythms of life is on beautiful track. Be Yourself. I love it this way. What I realized over time, no matter whatever you will do, there will always be some supporters, some neutrals and some critics. People will get all kinda cues from your random or regular updates.

I came across some sweet video in my updates, posted by some sweet lady on her FB and could not resist uploading it on my beautiful "Rhythms of Life", especially for those die hard fitness freak gals (bloggers).

Something different this year? Yeah! This year, I did not change the calendar of "Rhythms of Life" as used to do on every new year. This time, I decided just to let breath Rhythms of Life in timelessness. 

Original Copy ;)

I wonder, when people preach like they wanna make all human beings cloned copies of themselves. Every person is different. That is what makes human's world a colourful rainbow. Some things can be crazy for some people while can be normal for others. For some people rather most, especially in India, it is totally normal to stuck up at one place, in one job for life, on the name of security. This so called security is too abnormal and an obstacle in growth.

I wonder at times, what our education system teaches us? It makes and creates followers, "lakeer ke fakeer". No questions, no critical analysis else.

Else you gonna pay for that. Life is not to waste like this, to be like a frog of a well, whole life. It's always better to live for your passion, do what we like rather than following certain well defined path. Life is too short to waste as per so and so terms and conditions.

Some things sometimes, seem contradictory and still totally normal. I used to say I am weird, bear with me. But off late found so called normal people are weirder. I used to say I was not a family person but overtime felt I am more of a responsible family person and care much more than so called preachers. Off late I came across many rumours and literally felt like to slap hard the sick persons who spread them. I never cared to explain myself, let people say whatever they feel like. But when such things affect rather hit life directly then even the "I do not care attitude person" has to take action. 

Might be I am a bit crazy. I analyze things and in general do not attach myself much to anything except learning. I believe in living on the edge, living in the momentum and do not aspire much for securities. I love to have my base to come back but believe in continuous travelling. I believe in instinct and intuitions and "most of the times" follow them. Though at times felt, it's better to take people as per their face value. Overall, it is better to be original copy than a cloned and conditioned one, especially made by lakeer ke fakeer! I am the rare and only original edition, you cannot find my copies elsewhere ;)

That is The Spirit: V-Spirit!

Love is A Blessing

Love is a bliss as well as a blessing, which works in its own way, beautifully, dutifully, responsibly as well as magically! And when it works, wonders happen! It comes out of nowhere to direct, to lead, to give peace, to heal, to calm the wounds when you bleed. Ego, show off, possessiveness, dominance, jealousy, hatred, control kill it even without a blink. 

Love is where one can open his heart without any kinda judgement, can reach to you in need without thinking about any kinda fear. Aah! Too idealistic? Seems so. But such love exists in this world rather should say love can only be like that. 

Controllers kill love and show the face of human's wickedness.
