Its about you and me, my thoughts written down and you thinking upon them... In poetry, in verse, in prose, in lines, in words... the words live by your thoughts...

Walking Down The Pavement..
she opened the door, entered barista
wearing stilettos, at 3 am
two people saw her...
the floral dress, white and black,
she hanged around a little,
looked as if just had an ecstasy
and was going the aftermath..
she looked divine to me..
but to other, she was attractive --
only that much for a number
and fifty and thousand rupees..
he walked over to her
asked her for hot cuppa' coffee
she smiled a little,
said her credit card was outta order
so, he said, dun worry
i have the cash
let's go, wherever you want to,
for he was the minister's son..
Ah! there i wished i had
but a talk and a walk with her
to get to know her...
but she never glanced at me..
she already had said yes
to go 'uck n forget, yea, and earn
to be the one heck of a slu'
but, was she?
looking into her eyes, and the
smoothness of her hands
she was never meant to be--
her family couldn't support her education..
ministers say..
they spend one-fifth on education..
do they? i guess so...
here was how.
she was ambitious, nay, very
bold and beautiful, coming from
where there are no ideals,
just as the person she said yes to..
highest or lowest, it's all the same
i guess, they are without any shame
free, hopeful, and unburdened
totally unaware of what they do!
i had no reaction
but just to ponder over..
on things, as numbers on stock index
why the fall, why the rise, why the trend?
had she but was there at 3 pm
walking down the same pavement,
he would never had looked on her
and i would have asked her on a date..

Day One: Inner Happiness begins at home
That's the question that I think the answer would be us, even for a believer or an atheist.
The question that I've started asking myself everyday is:
'What I've really done rightfully selflessly, to give someone true happiness?'
The answer I did not get for a past few days. I was being so selfish as to ask others to waste their resources over my hurts and bruises, that I forgot theirs.
I feel that at the end of the day, when we lay down on our beds, before taking the rest to our tired souls, we should ask ourselves this.
However, jokes apart, I think this is more sort of a check by jury mechanism rather than a progressive one. I mean like, it's more of quality control, rather than being a developmental one.
So, today I have come up with,
'What can I do today rightfully, selflessly, to give someone happiness?'
I asked this today myself just the first thing after I got up, and the first answer i got was:
'Hug your mom and dad, and say, "I love you." '
And I did. And it really gave them happiness...
Happiness, I strongly feel is not made up in things. It is made in hearts. True souls, hearts selfless, are eternally happy, and more than that, they are in state of bliss. Besides that, it does also contributes a lot to inner strength and happiness.
I'm glad I've implemented the first answer, and I will continue doing it. That will surely spread happiness in my caring family.

Telling Me ..
The earth revolves in ellipses.
The hands of the clock move in circles.
Hills and villages are traversed by gypsies.
The water in a waterfall gurgles.
No one tells anyone to do anything-
Why should anyone tell me?
Even gods give choices to everything
Asking us to choose and accept with glee!
When I ask you, you do not tell.
When you ask, I tell you.
You tell me to distinguish between heaven and hell-
While you tell yourself that there is nothing such, because of no clue!
You tell me to do this thing in that manner
While you do that thing in this way!
Why, then, do you raise truth’s banner?
When lies are the only thing you tell, and say!
Don’t tell me,
If you don’t practice what you preach.
Don’t tell me to ask you! See!
When you ignore and screech!
- Abhishek Syal
This poem is written with the mindset of a teenager, or a college student. It is in this age that he dwells a lot on the duality that the common world gives his eyes to see and his ears to hear! It envisions the growth self-realization and individualism, to which he is attracted fatally to. He is the member of Gen-Y, the latest generation, and therefore, he believes in absolute, and cannot believe in anything which has no existence or proof or is devoid of logic behind its existence. There is also a surge of rightful attitude, which asserts one true self, in the direction towards an Identity. However, he believes in no God, and no spirituality, the ideals of which are replaced by the Self.
Notice the starting letter of Gods in the poem. Any difference? Now, Can you guess why???

To Win..
I think sometimes losing is better than winning. You learn the lesson with losing, that many times, is lost during winning.
Sometimes, you gotta lose to win. To win the war, you gotta lose the battle.
Sometimes, in Life, you gotta lose to learn how to win, and win big!
Failures are the pillars to success. Learning from mistakes build the shelter to success!

Osho's preachings VII THE GAMBLER..
living never flowers in security; it flowers in insecurity.
the more alive you are... then there is no boredom, then there is no dust from the past, no desire for the future. then, the present moment is very sharp, like a flame.
religion is a spiritual risk.
love, but dont think that tomorrow the woman will be available to you. dont expect that.
dont make tomorrow predictable. expect nothing and be ready for everything.
the goal of your life should be centered at play. play means doing something for its own sake.
meditation is play. it is leela. you enjoy it for its own sake.
and when you start possessing each other, then, you both are no longer in love.
each moment has its own intrinsic value.
and whenever you can find any opportunity to risk, never miss it, and you will never be a loser.

Osho 's Preachings VI
so go inwards and be more aware. one day victory is yours-- that is absolutely certain. you just have to fulfill the requirement: you have to be totally aware.
what matters is that the man was total, and the total man never is defeated. his totality is his victory.
love is a risk. life is a risk. god is a risk.

Preachings of Osho V
intimacy with one man/woman is better than many superficial relationships. love is not a seasonal flower, it takes years to grow. and only when it grows does it go beyond biology, and starts having something of spiritual in it.
come so close to each other that you can look deep into the woman and the woman can look deep into the woman and the woman can look deep into you. don't be dishonest with each other.
meditation is the art of living with yourself. The art of being joyously alone.
you can leave the world-- you will be the same. you will again create the same world because you carry a blueprint in your mind. it is not a question of leaving the world,it is a question of changing the mind, renouncing the mind. That's what meditation is.
sitting silently, doing nothing, the spring comes and the grass grows by itself!
