Story

Today I was talking to my colleague about karma and prayers. I said we don't have to pray to god for something , because if something is bound to happen with us , it will happen , be it good or bad , it will happen irrespective of whether we pray or not , this is called destiny . I said don't expect he will listen to you and fulfill your wish , because it does not happen . In a way I feel that the more you pray , the more is your faith towards him and you expect your wishes to be fulfilled, so it all comes in a circle . He told me a simple story about a small boy , who is sick . This boy is walking with his father , on the way he finds an ice cream vendor , he asks for ice cream from his father . His father does not listen to him , and says no to him . In spite of the small boy's insistence , his father does not get him ice cream, because he knows what is best for his son. We all are playing the boy's role , and father is the almighty . The moral is " he knows what is best for us ". To conclude I can say that don't pray , but always remember that " whatever happens , happens for good " ........but at times I feel this an escapist attitude ,because when you accept this , then you accept defeat also , and when you accept defeat you don't try ...........

Tug of war between heart and mind

Why is there a tug of war between heart and mind ?? Why we cant go in one way , when we go by our mind , then I believe we don't put our heart into it and , we don't have the courage to listen to our heart and go by it . We are so practical at times that we become deaf to heart. I wonder what should one listen to heart or mind ......... Sometimes I feel that heart is bound to take you in wrong direction , as they say in hindi " mann ko control karo " cause if we keep going by our heart we may end up as nothing ...... I am confused :) Life should be lived with all its practicalities or with all your wishful thinking ............ how many times we all would have gone ahead with wishful thinking :) Each one of our life is bonded by people around us , our family , friends and all ....... each of them expecting something from us ..parents expecting us to be obedient (which I am not ) and friends expecting to be loyal and true(which I am doubtful ) ....A human being is caught fulfilling expectations of people around you and the desires of one's heart . Why don't we have a guardian angel as they talk in English movies , who could tell us which way to go ...........

Late summer night

Its a hot summer night, sititng before my PC and listening to "Main jahan rahoon " of Namastey London ....... song is really good .....i feel like listening to the song as many times as possible . It talks of how ppl move in their life from their past ...... some still keep it in their corner of the heart and some forget their past and get involved in their new life......... this makes me think which one is possible or which one actually happens or which one is true in life ...............................the ppl who forget their past , do they actually forget or its just a way of fooling themselves ......but dont we all forget about our old college frnds .....we keep on moving with new ppl and actually like some of them, and become frnds with them and then part our ways just promising ourselves to be in contact with that frnd ........... but does that really happens............. I dont understand ...................As they say ,we all meet the people we know today , beacuse we are bonded by our past karma , and we are associated with each other for some specific time only , after that we have to part ................ these are big fundas ........which i fail to understand :) ............... till I understand it, I guess I will keep moving ..........................

How Opal Mehta got kissed and got wild

the name itself suggests what i m going to write about ......i finished reading it today ... nice book but not great piece of work ....whenever i hrd abt the title in past , i always thought opal to be a guy .....but opal is female , working hard to go to Harvard....All indian american or NRI's dreamof going to Harvard...as we ahve dream of going to IIT ....and only few make it to IIT .The story says that it even if u dont make to harvard or to IIT (in our case) , still u can be happy.This makes me think that do we really become happy , when we cant make it to what we dream for??????? i dont know its answer.....I think we make goals for ourselves to achieve something...and we start thinking that by achieving what we dream to be will only make us happy ............probably its not tha case .....happiness comes from unexpected things, ppl around us or just a happy thought from past also makes us happy ......like i chatted with my very old frnd ....we talked for more than half an hour .....it was really good and made me smile for the whole day ..and it made me happy also ..and i feel that college frnds always special and close to heart , even if u have ur colleagues as ur friend.....cant say anything for some ppl colleagues are gr8 frnds for them ......may be its just the way things happend in their lives .......
