The love which is not returned,
Don’t hold it so close,
Maybe its bruises stay forever,
But you have to let it go….
The desire to fly in the sky,
May push you down again and again,
Maybe that sky is not for you,
So please let it go…..
The pain and joy,
Don’t stay forever,
One day we all have to die
And the soul has to let it go……

Like a soul inside a barren body,
The rain came on the thirsty land.
Like the heart of a compassionate sage,
The rain turned it into green land.
Rain is hope of an impossible dream,
Rain turns everything fertile.
Rain cleanses the dirt of heart and soul,
And uses the dirt to grow the land.
Falling from the sky above,
The holy water of the divine.
Washing sins of the land,
Giving hope to start again.
Which activities make you lose track of time?
The secret of happiness is something to do. And if that job is something you love most, you lose track of time.
From school timings to office hours, from healing physical wounds to recovering from personal loss, from day-night to seasons, humankind is governed by time. In fact such is the law of our universe that without time our existence would not have been possible.
But still, we are so scared of time. We are so afraid of the end that we hardly enjoy the rest of the time. To be honest this mess is not given by time itself but it is something which we have created . Why do we panic when we run behind time, purely because we wasted our present, our ‘Now’.
We wasted our ‘Now’ by doing nothing or by worrying about our past regrets and future worries. But there is a way out of this mess.
Do something which you love most, get lost in that hobby, job or work . Create that obsession which makes you blind to the negativities of past and future. This will make you truly present in the ‘Now’ as time ceases to exist in that moment, truly a happy moment.
For me , when I am hiking or trekking in the mountains , I lose track of time. My entire focus is on the treacherous trail and when I am tired I am rewarded with the beauty of the surroundings. Cold icy winds, snow laden mighty mountains, the wilderness of the terrain make me lost in the ‘Now’.
Also when I am blogging, I lose track of time. Yes, sometimes I lose my words too, but then I shift to reading.
In this way ,if you keep yourself busy and not wasting your present then you can at least eliminate most of the negativity if not being truly happy.
Are you seeking security or adventure?
Humankind’s biggest strength is its hunger for adventure. Humanity as a whole has progressed so much and became so dominant because of this hunger.
There is no meaning of life without adventure, without some risks and without exploring all the possibilities. Yes security sometimes gives you peace but progress most often goes to adventurous souls.
Yes, adventure sometimes hits you, fails you and you don’t get the desired outcome. But if you want more in life or finally want security in life then you have to walk on an adventurous path.
I seek a lot of thrill when it comes to travel and mostly I trek or hike in the mountains to explore amazing places which you don’t get in your daily life. It’s like food for your soul which is very essential to rejuvenate and to contemplate life in a more positive way.
Nature heals even the most tormented minds but for that you have to follow an adventurous path.
You are not alone,
you are with the silence
that speaks only
when you open your heart.
It says,
your life is not futile
and your pain is not the end.
Far away from the cities,
In the wilderness
you will heal,
you will find your home,
your purpose and
the meaning of your life.

What are you most excited about for the future?
A Future is nothing without the Present.
Our minds are coded and programmed by society in a way that we always hope for a bright future, without doing anything substantial in the present.
In fact there is no future if we don’t sow its seeds in the “Now”. It’s like growing a plant by sowing a seed ,watering and taking care of it every single day. Then hoping for the outcome.
Hope resides in the coming ‘Now’ . If you have done your part in the present then you can expect everything bright to follow. I am always excited to face the fruit of my hardwork though I don’t hope much as I haven’t always got the desired result.
Contentment is my only solace where I take a deep breath and say to myself, ” maybe one day”.
What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?
You work hard for something and you don’t get desired results.
You love someone wholeheartedly and you don’t get the same love.
You help someone in need and when you ask for help , you never get.
Heartbreaks , pain , disappointment, frustration all are born out of expectations, one of the biggest reasons you are not able to live your life happily.
Let it go , all the expectations are mere seeds to unsettle you. You can have all the peace, happiness, satisfaction if you just think you have given everything you can , maybe you don’t get the same vibrations but your smiling face is happy enough to not feel the pain life can give you.
You are in harmony with the universe and you will adapt to whatever direction it will try to mould you.
What is your favorite genre of music?
Sweet rustling of the leaves,
With the wind blowing from the mountains.
Birds chirping or singing ,
With the bass of
A dying trunk or twig.
Together with the symphony
Of a burbling river stream,
Produces the perfect song.

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
Memories are immortal. Memories are our best gift. We have limited time in our material form but our memories continue to live in the hearts of the people we come across.
Sometimes these memories make you great but the greatest memories are those which bring tears in the eyes of the people.
So, we can’t guarantee how long we can live but we can surely make great memories by sharing love, compassion, kindness and generosity. This will surely ensure our existence for a long time , maybe till the end of time.
I recently planted sunflower seeds and it grew very fast. I guess within one and a half months the plant gave flowers. But what I noticed throughout its growth was that the bud took many days to fully bloom.
Once it bloomed the flower continued to bloom for many days without withering. It shows that nature has its ways of educating us. You just have to obey it and listen to its whisper.
While your hardwork takes time to fully bloom ( success )but once it blooms it stays and heals all the pain you have gone through .
Like a sunflower ,
You shined in the darkness
To bring joy to the world around.
Like a sunflower,
You fought with the turmoil
That bruised you within
And your feet on the ground .
Even the time cannot bend you,
As you push it under your feet.
Your life ignites with your will,
And not with any illusory evil..
