Kill the cliches

“Main tumhare bacche ki maa ban ne wali hu”

“Jee le apni zindagi simran”

“Ye dono hath mujhe de de thakur”

“Pyar kiya to darna kya”

To all the Bollywood watching people out there, what’s the similarity between the above dialogues?
Yes, you guessed it right. Those all are the cliches of Bollywood movies. It’s been years & decades since these are followed blindly and people still like its usage.

As per me, these dialogues have lived its life expectancy and its saturation is crossed since long.

In my life, I am a victim to certain cliches too. When I get angry/irritated, I avoid talking to the person who ignited that feeling or rather I stop talking to everybody. My family members know when I am in that mood.

I have a friend who in almost all situations says, “It is like” and stays mum. Nothing more. Not a single word. And I think, brother LIKE WHAT? 😀 Where’s the comparison.

Similarly, in this world too there are some cliches called “Natural calamities”. These cliches seldom show their faces to us but when they do, it is not in our power to stop it. But the reason it happens might be indirectly due to us, our ill works. When the balance of the environment is disturbed, Natural cliches(read calamities) strikes and restores the balance. No doubt there is a loss of blood & materials but restoring of balance is necessary for the greater good.

From this, we know that we all got cliches and we all can be better if we discard them from our lives. I can be better if I don’t avoid people when angry/irritated. My friend can definitely stop using “IT IS LIKE”. And, Earth can show some mercy and find an alternate way to regain the balance. This alternate way needs to be initiated by us. There is no other way. We have to spread awareness. We have to work towards it. Once we achieve it to make lives of humans a lot more easy. And by doing this, we will kill the natural cliches before the cliches kill us.

Can I be Santiago from The Alchemist?

I read this somewhere, “Dreams are wishes with strong determination” and how true is that. We all have dreams. Dreams to achieve success & happiness. Some pursue their dreams like Santiago from The Alchemist. Just as Santiago had to go through so many hurdles to achieve, we all have to too.

These hurdles shape us. Once we cross them, they define us. Most of us fear to cross these hurdles, fearing what will we find on the other side. That’s a mystery for sure but something which pursuers want and hence it’s not a hindrance for them to follow their dreams.

This world knows us by how many bucks we earn. This world is judgemental and one thing is sure that our happiness DOESN’T depend on this world’s verdict of our stature. To be happy we have to earn in our means. Doing things we love & then the work will be in our blood. It’s not that each one of us follows their heart and get into the profession they want to.

Similarly, I am an IT professional. I like the work but my dream profession would be being a librarian. I know it seems crazy but that is what I had in my mind once I saw our college library. It was huge & filled with study books. Only a handful of novels were there.

I want to be a librarian and keep it full with novels & books. I want to read all those books by being there day & night. No need of anyone’s company or any other thing. I wish someone would give me money for reading books I like 😀

Life is a constant struggle and the struggle is on and hope that I can be a librarian for a day. I have started buying books and the count has increased this year more than before. I am not able to read much nowadays, neither blogs or books, but I will start both it all again sooner.

As I was talking to a WP friend yesterday, she said, “Finally, good days are here to stay.” I could not believe less. Good days are here to stay for all. With our dream profession, good days turn into happy & peaceful days too 🙂

Life changing event

Show me one person in this world who do not want to travel to a different time period and I will praise the lad and do nothing else 😛

At least, most of us would have thought of traveling to a different time period and go to that particular time to meet somebody or to see the discovery of something eventful. Something life changing for Earth. I also have the same wishes. Wishes seldom come true if you don’t give your hard work and dedication to it. You need to give these as inputs so that they will be processed and you’ll be shown the output.

“Easier said than done” is such an apt proverb to describe the above. We all can give suggestions and our point of views(POVs) but those may not be correct for others.

Similarly, I was in a discussion today with a close friend of mine(let’s name him Alex)about the events that changed the course of life on Earth. He said that it has to be World War 2. And for a brief period of time, I believed him. All the words and images from our class 8 History book of Hiroshima & Nagasaki along with the destruction faced by millions of people rushed into my mind. What can be more crucial than this historical destruction faced by humans?

There was some silence & I thought about what else can be that life changing. And I said, “What you said about the WW2 is spot on but that was a loss. It was negative. It was life changing for many millions, yes! But the thing which has a positive impact is always more powerful & has an upper hand on the things which are negative.”

He said, “Like what? Positive in what sense?”

I was not sure what I was gonna say but I just blabbered, “There are 2 worlds. One, what we see. Two, what we wanna see. What we see is the reality. Many others have an impact on it. It is the least self-controlled world out there. To survive, WE HAVE to keep on adjusting from day 1 till the last day. It doesn’t adjust to our needs, we have to do the adjustment. Always.”

Alex listened & I continued, “About the second world, it’s never the same. It’s always changing. It takes new shape & new form based on our present thoughts. Present mood. It’s the imaginary world. Think of ‘Inception’ movie. They had imaginary world too. Just like that but we don’t have to be asleep to visualize that. We just need to close our eyes and the world will take shape as per our mood.”

My friend, who was wearing a confused look on his face stammered, “So so so.. What? How is this life changing for EARTH”

Having a wry smile on my lips, I said triumphantly, “This imagination, escape from reality, for the most beautiful world is life changing for an individual. He time travels. He goes to a far off place by staying in reality. Imagination makes it possible. One doesn’t need a time machine to travel to places. Books, movies and discussion like this make it possible. With imagination, we can go in the past or in the future just like time traveling. In time travel, you cannot be in multiple time phases, you either are in the past or in the future. But imagination has an upper hand and that’s because we can be in multiple time phases. While imagining, we are mentally in the past or the future but physically we are in the present. And that is the answer to your question. If we can TRY to match our imaginative world with the reality. It is life changing. This is such a process that has to be done on an individual level and then it can be worldwide. Possible?”

“I would definitely praise your thinking and I can almost agree to it but there are no facts to support it & hence I would not be totally IN for your idea.” said Alex, nodding.

“I definitely require your belief to work with but then I also need to be sure that I can work with my thoughts and I think, I can. So this is life changing for me. This conversation was most definitely. But now I am gonna try to make my reality & imagination match & hand you your facts to think upon.”

Alex said proudly, “OK! I will be waiting for that day because it will be a double achievement for me because of the facts I will receive and the success you’ll achieve. I have a request for you, though. Do not stop imagination after reaching there once.”

I said jokingly, “Don’t worry, my friend. After reaching, may be my imagination will show me a new different world. Then it’ll be time to achieve that.”

“So there is no need for a time machine now,” joked my friend, “none whatsoever.”

And I gave him a thumbs up and we went to the nearest coffee shop to have his favorite cappuccino so that if not satisfied, he can imagine it and make it more perfect as per his imagination(a competition to Starbucks 😉 ).

Turning into gold

THE ALCHEMIST is Him. He molds things into gold. Things like people, situations, etc. He has the key to success, which He never shares with anybody. But, He intends to give the dimension of that key to all those people who are willing to chase their dreams and in the process, He turns them into Gold. Turning people into gold means giving them strength & energy to reach their desired dreams and once they achieve it, they set examples for others.

The problem with most of the people out there is they don’t believe in the Alchemist. They would rather see a normal human like them achieve his dream and follow him. So indirectly, the Alchemist takes the help of those limited people who believe in Him and then through those people sets an example for the remaining. It definitely hurts Him that very fewer people believe in Him but then He’s the Ultimate One and He forgives all this and is willing to do whatever it takes to make each and everyone happy and fulfill our dreams.

If our dreams are not achieved then the defect lies in us, in our dedication, in our hard work, in our skills but never in Him. He does his best to give us everything desired. He is the solution to every problem, whether we accept it or not. He is always there for us with a helping hand outstretched for us. It’s on us whether we trust Him and hold Him or let go of Him. He will come several times in our life for helping us and after regular neglection, He will bid adieu permanently. He gives us chances of realization.

He lights up the path so that our walk will be easier. He never shortens the journey. The strength to walk has to come from within, He just shows us the right path and the destination is always set in our mind. So yes, He’s the Alchemist to all us. Agree or not, your choice. He never asks for anything from us but just some belief and He believes in spreading positive vibes because He thinks that whatever our action be, it causes ripples and those ripples stay for a long time around us. He always asks to spread kindness & smiles and never teaches how TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.

 

The Alchemist of Paulo Coelho, To kill a mockingbird of Harper Lee are two of my favorite books. There are many more but I thought of including these 2 books.

Realization

What?

That is impossible. I don’t accept it. It is illogical.

How can I grow when time has stopped? I mean think, all the clocks in this world have stopped ticking & it is the same since I DON’T KNOW because time has stopped. Stopped DEAD! I am thinking and it implies that the second hand should do “its thing” of ticking faster than the other two hands. But it ain’t. And as it isn’t ticking, the other two are stagnant.

This is causing a fucking headache. Why is it happening? Is it just in my head? I am feeling dizzy. Short of breath. Oh! I think, I know the reason for all these things. I am dying and that’s why everything has stopped. Oh now I know, this is the time when I have to reminisce all of the good, the bad & the ugly moments of my life. No! Only the good. Who cares about the bad & the ugly? 

This is just a moment but it feels like it is made of years and decades & centuries from within. I am dying but with the good memories running as a slideshow in my head, I want to live. I have never wanted to stay more alive. Something’s kicking from inside asking me to stop all this & get out of this thing. I hate this feeling of being dead. Time being dead. When time stops dead, I am dead. We are all dead.

I have never experienced real death like this before but I have come very close to this feeling. You ask when?

It was when I failed in my Graduation final year. I realized that I have to study one more year and I was no way more knowledgeable than I was the year before. I wasted my whole year. From that day, I made a promise to myself that I won’t waste even a single day. There is so much to learn out there, only if we are open to see it and learn from it. And irrespective of whether we are alive or dead or forgotten, things will be moving because we will be wanting to learn. The day we stop to learn is the DOOMSDAY for us. We may take some time to realize it but let’s just hope that we realize it before it’s too late.

I woke up at the rising tone of my phone’s alarm and all sweaty. I was panting as if I just had been racing against Usain Bolt. Reality struck me, I was late for my final year exam of Graduation and was hoping against hope while traveling to college that WAS MY REALIZATION A BIT LATE?

Nobody knows…

Nobody knows that I
Pray for your betterment

Nobody knows what it takes
To change the course of things
Just because you don’t want it that way

Nobody thinks how difficult it is
To handle this Herculean task

Nobody feels that I have given you the power
To choose your destiny
And if you choose
I have to write it all again
But I am up for it
Because I want you to try
No matter the outcome
You are given a life to fulfill yourself
Not satisfy others
Others should be of no concern to you
Live life
Be a little selfish
Choose your happiness
And if your happiness lies in the lines
Of others being happy
Then make others happy too
Listen to your heart
It is most innocent
Like a kid
Because it’s made by Me
And nobody knows what it feels
How YOU feel when your heart senses love
And I too have no control over your heart
I can just imagine the love I feel for you
Is the same love you feel for somebody else
My love is for the whole universe
Your love is for one person
Who means the universe to you

This nobody knows
Or everybody knows
But the realization hasn’t stuck them
May be they are waiting for me
To whisper this in their ears
But I want you to search for it
Show some proactive character
And I will give you more answers
Than you search for
And also give you some special gift
From the Pandora’s box
Because that’s also made by me
And I know what your heart desires
But you have to realize your desire
And prove it to me
So that I can convert your
Desire into deserving

P.S.: As Monday approaches and the hardships of a new week arrives, we all gotta perform when the Curtain falls. Today’s pick is Curtain falls by Blue 🙂

Day with Daryl & Glenn & ……

My childhood – Boring
Trust me, very boring
According to many
But according to me
Limited friends
Unlimited fun
Awesome siblings
Fighting all day long
I ain’t a TV guy
So watching cartoons was less
I used to love Teletubbies though
And no comics too
I sometimes wonder what was I doing
When I was a kid
But now I am grown
And read THE WALKING DEAD comic
The one and only comics
I have read till now
I love Daryl and Glenn in it
I watched the series first
And then started the comic
Both are awesome
If given a chance to spend
A whole day with Daryl
I would learn arching
And riding the awesome bike
Keeping the toothpick
In the mouth and talking
Being nasty bad ass guy
Who speaks less(reality for me)
But the impact of the limited
Words uttered is unlimited
Determined and hence would talk
To him and have good food
And especially desserts
And then together we will go
To meet Glenn and after that
I will bid adieu Glenn & Daryl
To meet my favorite character
And that’s Maggie
All the above were lies
Who can you love when there’s
Maggie in it
She’s cool and awesome
And I would ask her to
Betray Glenn and be with me 😀
See, my dreams and love
For fictional characters is
Also unlimited

The Walking Dead is about survival from zombies..

Zombies attack for the brain and…..

The zombie me

See the craziness 😀 what was your favorite comic/cartoon? You did anything crazy like this? 😉

Frequency of inspiration..

Read about an atomic nucleus?
It has protons
And electrons and neutrons
I don’t know about
Any recent discovery made
So each nucleus is the replica
Of our big, humongous universe
You agree?
Great! Thank you!
Similarly, we ourselves
are replicas of God
Or the super power
We believe in
Because we got
IMMENSE power within ourselves
Wanna know how?
Think about your heart ache
Think about the demise of your close one
Think about the injury you suffered
Think about the frustration
Think about the anger
Think about the irritation
And also the solitude
And still you are here
You are alive
You faced it
You SURVIVED!
Did anyone help you?
Yes, of course
Who?
Friends, families
Books, smiles
Strangers even
But don’t forget
You helped yourself
You inspired yourself
This feeling came from within
From that heart
From that soul
Which is like a nucleus
A very small part
Of this big, humongous world
But still a replica
And irrespective of the size
All are tuned to the same frequency
Frequency of inspiration
We don’t know who is being inspired
By seeing the smile on our faces
By seeing how we are facing dire situations
Still we are leaving impact
These impacts
Gives rise to inspiration
But you need to have it from within
To see it
To feel it
To match the frequency
To replicate it
To spread it
To evolve yourself
And also the others
Difficult? I know
Impossible? C’mon!
I never thought, I would be writing something
And people would be reading my work
But here we are
I never thought, 400 people would be following me
But here we are
I never thought, I would be Who I am
But here we are
So, accept who you are
And inspire others
And automatically, you will be inspired
You will be evolved
You will be You
Who you ALWAYS wanted to be
Also satisfied by what you become 🙂
