Random thoughts

The only common factor between all your failed relationships is you.

Quality means rethinking, reworking and polishing.


I miss a lot of people, but remember just a few. 

I remember what they do, what they like, where they went to school, what they said, their opinions, when are their special days. 


Missing people is easy, remembering takes an effort. I guess I love those more who I remember. 

It is always the small actions that say more than what big words do. 


Stillness is often recommended in the form of pranayama and meditation, sit, lie on the floor and go into nothingness.

Stillness for me is not about focusing on nothingness, it is about creating a clearing and opening up an emotionally clutter free space and allowing myself to feel, dream, think and question. 


Mid life crisis - I feel it it not crisis but unraveling. A time when you feel a strong pull to live the life that you want to live than what you are supposed to live. It is a time when you are challenged by the universe to let go what you are supposed to be but embrace what you are.

Worried about…

 I am worried that people don’t talk anymore, forwards and emojis do not count for a communication or conversation.

I worry that people do not ask why, they follow beliefs superstitions faiths traditions without ever asking why.

I worry that people who sing and dance well are rich and famous and people who think well die poor.


I am worried about stupid , it is all around us.


I worry that we glorify stupid on tv shows, we watch shows like big boss and people’s stupidity entertains us. Shouldn’t it be something intelligent that entertains us? 


I worry that we as a society will make dumber and dumber decisions and there won’t be anyone to recognize these bad decisions or say anything about them

Kabhi kisiko mukamal

One of my favorite ghazal and it’s meaning -



 kabhii kisii ko mukammal jahaa.N nahii.n milataa

kahii.n zamiin to kahii.n aasamaan nahii.n milataa

No one ever gets the entire universe 
Somewhere the earth and somewhere the sky is missing
  

jise bhii dekhiye vo apane aap me.n gum hai
jubaa.N milii hai magar hamajubaa.N nahii.n milataa
  

Whoever you see is lost in their own sorrow
 
They have thoughts to share but no companion to listen
  

bujhaa sakaa hai bhalaa kaun vaqt ke shole
ye aisii aag hai jisame dhuaa.N nahii.n milataa
  

Who is able to douse the embers of time
 
This is a fire that has no smoke  

tere jahaa.N me.n aisaa nahii.n ki pyaar na ho
jahaa.N ummiid ho isakii vahaa.N nahii.n milataa

It's not like there's no love in your life (universe) 
Where you hope for it you won't find it there
