A Leap of faith

By


Does anybody among the readers here know the taste of water coming from the thinning layer of a glacier after trekking the rough mountainous terrains for 4 constant hours??

Has anybody seen the Sun going down into the ocean standing on a jet ski in the middle of the ocean full of sharks??

Did anybody care to get himself clicked with the funny and ugly faces in a party of gorgeous and sophisticated people??

Did anybody ever get a chance to race with a school of fishes in their own territory 100 meters deep onto the ocean bed??

Did you ever dance for the whole night in your true form without acknowledging who else is watching you, despite of the fact that you have to hit your work place early in the morning??

Has anybody ever felt breathlessness while sky diving from 15000 ft surpassing the snow clad Alps Mountains??

I believe many have not; I also believe many would call it crazy. I agree, this indeed is crazy but just remember that, it is only these crazy souls which infuse the energy into the wheel of life systems to keep it running. The problem is that we all are so scared of death that we forget to live and appreciate the life. The real life is composed of only those crazy memories when you hold the hands of your passion and unleash the real wild part of you without the slightest grudge or burden on your soul. It unlocks a channel within you, hidden and unknown so far and helps you to take a deep dive into your inner self. You are no more embarrassed but are enlightened. It is the soul stirring moments which define your life. Generally, such moments come unexpectedly. But then, there are a few who take the plunge to experience such moments. Armed with the guard of self-belief, they take a leap of faith into the world of unknown and become the fortunate ones to experience bliss and real ecstasy. The universe bows down to the courage and deep faith of such people. They are the mystics carrying the rays of hope; they become the pathfinders showing the way to the suffering souls; they are the knights carrying the sword of light, slicing the darkness causing heartaches.

Come, join hands with me and let’s follow the path of self-discovery through the “Iconoclast” way; Let’s pulsate our nerves and have a “LEAP of FAITH” together and let’s have a loud hearty laugh which would echo in the universe for ever.........

    I feel it more important to have clarity in life and understand what are the thing which make you happy and believe me majority of people do not even know what makes them happy.

    And this happiness can be pursued either from the crazy stuff mentioned by you, doing charity, giving something good to the society or anything, there can be n number of such things.

    That is the point bro.... An attempt to do some thing beyond ur capabilities is to move out of ur comfort zone. This is indeed the only way to discover urself. Once u know urself, u also know then that what makes u happy and u can start doing that.....charity or business or jumping from the bridge....;) the point here is not what makes u happy but how to have faith in urself and destiny and then take a jump in the arms of cosmos to discover ur passions, interests and true identity.
    Thanks for ur wise inputs and thanks for reading at length.....;)

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

By
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

By
“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....

By
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...
