I feel the GOD

I feel the God

Today, after the last crazy 5 days, I laid back and relaxed in my bed watching my little babies asleep. The calmness on their faces made me skip my breath again and again. Suddenly, I slipped into a trans state where I could find a connection with some unseen force. The sudden impulse of energy made me forget all the troubles and I was at complete peace with myself. No more concerns of the business, no more thoughts of another travel, the team meetings just faded away and the new upcoming project just took the back seat. What was it…..I asked myself. The same mind, body and the soul which were craving for a sleep for last so many days are just rejuvenated and are probably ready to take up another challenge with greater vigor. Whenever, I wish to think something deeply, I start writing. The writing gives me newer horizons to think and makes it easier for me to dig in deeply of any matter. So, I started…….

Life is crazy, we all know. It’s unpredictability sometimes surpasses all our assumptions and sometimes it leaves us amused. It was not too far back when a mere mention of getting married was like…..hey are you in your senses man?? And then suddenly the same life changed it’s course. Within the 7 years of my wedding, I am a father of 2 beautiful kids. Believe me, it was not so easy to accept the news from my other half (won’t say better as I believe in the equality of both the genders) and it did take me at least one minute to bring my suddenly choked brain to a level where it could digest the facts presented by the circumstances. That was almost 5 and half years back. Then, it took double the time around 3 and half years later when the same steps were repeated. Thankfully, I have a habit of taking it easy always and my belief in destiny makes me take the life as it comes. Now, here I truly admit that I was scared initially both the times but I did witness the strong power that the brain does possess. Basically, the tougher part is not with the problem but with the fact that how do you program your brain to perceive the problem. The moment, the brain programming was done, the same task which initially seemed like a herculean task transformed into brisk morning walk.

Those perplexed moments have resulted into these loving memories which have painted my whole life with the most vibrant colors available in this beautiful world. They sleep in front of me and I touch their small feet and hands; the touch evokes an ethereal emotion; the innocence in their smiles is the most mesmerizing picture I have ever scene; the glitter in their eyes is worth more than this whole universe and believe me when they call me Papa, I can die for that…….We are always curious to discover God someday but in this pursuit of him, we forget to appreciate his own presence in just everything around us which is so visible and yet neglected. Today, with a very limited knowledge I have, I cogently say, though I haven’t seen or touched God but I have felt him in his most magical creations. Thanks God for the wonderful gifts and bless your gifts forever.

We all can experience God, just look around and believe in him. Somebody out there in any state of relationship might actually be the reason for your existence and your messed up mind probably hasn’t been able to conjure up those precious thoughts as yet. Let’s appreciate the life in its true form and the people around us always.

O almighty, only you can do this all....

Only you can do this all I found an astonishing place far away from my home, travelled thousands of miles right there in Livingstone. The river Zambezi, placed there on the landscapes just right, And the grand Victoria falls showing me their passion and might. I see the river upside down hanging from that bungee rope, All faces smiling, all eyes beaming; it certainly is the abode of Hope. A small but audacious bird chirping and sitting on the Hippo’s back, And I clicked the moment timeously standing from the river cruise’s deck. The sunset over the river displaying the spectrum of color and shade And I, watching the phenomenon spellbound; wondering, how He made. Crossing the Victoria bridge right through the rainbows, While hearing the thundering sound of the falls coming from very close. That lonely tree still holding its grip on the edges of the fall, O almighty, you and only you can do this a...

Being Ambitious or Being Progressive: A subtle difference between the two

It’s a tricky and contentious subject, I chose to write upon. I am sure it will invite a lot of favor as well as critic from the readers. Well, my objective anyhow was to stimulate a chain of thoughts in your minds. This morning, the newspaper was abuzz with the news of Mr Azim Premji joining the Gates-Buffet charitable trust as the 1 st Indian, where he vows to give away a major part of his wealth for philanthropy. Being such a rich man, he still drives a Toyota Corolla, prefers to not to stay in 5-star hotels and leads a very normal life devoid of any frills. I always remember what the great Warren Buffet once said, “If you want to be rich, stop acting rich”. These are a few of those rare exemplary moments which have the potential to be a phenomenon. But unfortunately, in the world we witness today, even such novel ideas don’t have many takers. Please don’t assume that I am a profound philanthropist anyway but I certainly and firmly believe in the fact that un-necessary s...

dare to be your true self

Dare to be your true self Standing on the beautiful landscapes of the Mount Entoto in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, I gazed at the sky and yelled at him; “why the results are not always as per the expectations”…..comes back the voice; “Calm down my son, because it just doesn’t matter”. I am surprised, where the voice came from…..is it from the sky? Is it the God himself? Oh, It’s from my inside….amazing, someone always within me, yet so indiscoverable… I asked him, who are you?? The voice came back, I am your friend, the one you never had faith on; I am the origin of everything, you never acknowledged; I am the creator, you never believed on…… “Why do you talk to me then?” I asked. “For the same reason, I talked with Arjuna during the epic of Mahabharata; he had wisdom to understand but yet he was confused; he was capable yet he lacked self-belief; he knew he was wrong yet he questioned to gain the better understanding. You question my presence too; I had no...

The HUNT

“Yours is a strange and self-obsessed generation who just can’t get over your personal ego to believe in something. Above all, you take pride in hurting the sentiments of your elders, showing your angst and disbelief against the conventional wisdom”, that is my mother at her rhetoric best. Unfortunately, I could not understand her as she could never understand me. There are millions of parents having the same complaints from their kids. I can’t comment on all of them as I would be too naive and unaware of their feelings. But in my case, I can say that the chasm is not built based on our contrasting beliefs but on the contrary this is a gap between “blind beliefs” and “Questions”. Those who raise the questions and speak their minds can’t be politically correct always. I always say that Human brain confuses; now I also think that the brain is wired in such a way that it understands only polar positions. Anything in between, it finds it difficult to understand. We have given the...

On Fire....

On Fire Today after several months, I finally got an opportunity to sit quietly and do nothing in the long flight. When I say quietly, it doesn’t necessarily indicate towards the vocal sounds emitting from the human face’s cavity surrounded by the lips, but this time it is the quietness of the mind. The tranquil state of the brain unknowingly opens those channels where from come the deepest of the thoughts. The silence deep in the heart is the place where resides the mind in it’s supreme state of solitude. I was wondering what this phenomenon actually is, how come sometimes, I don’t hear any noise outside and how come sometimes, it’s all blabbering everywhere? How can sometimes, one can be so unperturbed despite of the quaking external events around? Is it due to the happiness….No, it’s the sublime state of serenity, where one finds true bliss. Is it eternal…?? no, probably not. I still have not mellowed to a stage where I can experience “Eternal Bliss”; but don’t I lov...
