Love what you do and do what you love

Well to be honest i do not know whether i am doing what i love.It may be pretentious of me to say that i am doing what i love to do.What i really love to do is reading books,blogging like this just for fun,writing any poem i want(i.e if you have read my blog!).To be honest i like being acknowledged for what i am good at.
Well,actually i do not even know whether am i a good amateur writer or blogger.But it helps me cool down and express myself.Do you feel like this whenever you do a particular activity.Of course you would,EVERYBODY DOES!!!.But the question is does everyone do what he or she loves to do.I do not think so.I saw this video shared on FACEBOOK by my friend and it showed that the recent most recent generation i.e.Generation Y  tends to mix pleasure with work.That is how it should be.We may not be good at it, BUT IT IS NOT OUR ABILITIES THAT DEFINE US BUT OUR INTERESTS(not exactly my line!!!)
There is nothing stopping you from what you do BUT YOURSELF!!.We may make excuses that our family,friends or society held us back,but deep down we know that is not true.People curse sometimes that a person was successful because he was lucky.What they do not notice is that a person worked hard for what he wanted and achieved it.What people also do not know is that a for every success story there are thousands of stories about failure.These people who failed either never tried or tried,failed and gave up.They did not push on for fear of failing again.
My first line was that i do not know,but to be frank i know that i am not doing what i love to do everyday.But what i do know is that my family and friends would definitely support me and  that i am really enjoying BLOGGING about this topic.I would really love to have my own blog(not that this is not my blog!!!)and i would love to blog about whatever i want to without any restrictions.
So really,LOVE WHAT YOU DO AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE!Just do not hold yourself back because you feel you have no support or help because quoting the famous writer Paulo Coelho,"IF YOU REALLY WANT SOMETHING THEN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE CONSPIRES TO HELP YOU."(from the book The Alchemist).
(One day i will become a famous blogger and then you will quote me on this one.Just kidding!)

The Special One in my life

May all your hopes and dreams come true
May all the best things happen to you
You are that special one in my life
You were the one I always knew

Your troubles shall become mine
And my happiness shall become thine
You are the special one in my life
You are what makes my life shine

You are my most precious thing
For you are like a burst of spring
I shall always always be by your side
And to you  I shall always cling

You were there from the start
You are my better part
For I know you will be there with me
Even death shall not take us apart 

Desire

What drives a person towards his goal?
What drives a person to take the lead?
What drives a person to stay ahead?
IT IS HIS DESIRE TO SUCCEED.

What draws a person towards others?
What drives a person to make loneliness end?
What drives a person to be social?
IT IS HIS DESIRE TO MAKE A GOOD FRIEND.

Why does a person want to travel?
Why does a person want to be heard? 
Why does a person want to learn?
DUE TO HIS DESIRE TO KNOW THE WORLD.

Why for a person is the past history?
Why for a person is the future a mystery?
Why for a person is the present his time?
DUE TO HIS DESIRE TO BE FREE.

So there is a desire to succeed,
there is a desire to make a good friend,
then there is a desire to be free,
there is a desire to know the world,
IN HIS DESIRE TO BE HAPPY.

The eyes that reflected truth

           He really NEEDED IT!Raghav would never see the world again with those beautiful blue eyes of his after that miserable day his life encountered twenty years back.The doctors had ruled out the return of his eyesight.But that was not to affect Raghav as he grew up to be a confident,handsome young man on whose stunning looks girls swooned at and which men his age glared at.Raghav was a brilliant student with a little extra help from his teachers and a lot more effort from him.
            Raghav being the only child of a middle class family had been treated very normally by his parents.He had his own friends circle,got around without much help and always prided himself on his ability to do things which his fellow blind had a hard time doing.
             So what was it that Raghav needed so badly!Well Raghav had just attained his MBA degree from a high ranking B-School based on a scholarship.Now armed with this he wanted to start his own business which he planned to expand enough to be the largest in his town.But his dream was not shared by others.They mocked him,banks refused to loan him money and his family and relatives just did not have enough capital.It was this capital that Raghav needed.
           Even his family asked him to drop his idea.His father cited his blindness as the main reason and said,"Son why do you want to pursue an impossible dream which will only break your heart."To this Raghav replied,"Father I just need a chance after getting that chance I will think of the consequences."But Raghav knew that just  passion and hard work would not help him,what he needed was the capital.Raghav had even considered working in  small shops to earn the money but once again due to his blindness nobody offered him a job.
            Finally Raghav thought that it was of no use and he decided to give up his dream.It seemed to him that all his life he would be destined to live in the shadow of his family.Would they be able to support him for all his life?Was he that worthless that nobody was ready to give him a chance?
As he was thinking he thought of going to his favorite park.he easily found his way to the park without anybody's help.After all he had been going to the park for years.The park was a beautiful one with a wide variety of flowered and aesthetic plants planted along the sides of a central pond which housed a number of colorful fishes.Its boundaries were marked by four Gulmohar and two Palm trees.It was quiet and peaceful which always allowed Raghav to push out negative thoughts
 and calm down.Raghav always tried to visualize what the park was like.He was so busy visualizing he did not notice a person coming and sitting down beside him.When the person coughed it suddenly startled Raghav and he reacted so.The person then enquired,"What young man never seen another man before."To this Raghav apologized stating that he was blind.The stranger taken aback in return apologized for not having noticed.After that they got into a conversation in which Raghav eventually told the stranger about his problems.Raghav did not know whether it was the park or the caring nature of the stranger that prompted him to do so.Raghav felt light after pouring his heart out to the stranger.The stranger after listening to the story suddenly came up with a proposition.He asked Raghav,"Would you consider working for me."This time Raghav was taken aback.Was this man a fraud or just plain crazy!Raghav daringly asked,"How would I ?"The old man laughed and said,"Well boy if you can find your way then two streets from the park is my shop which occupies the whole block!"Raghav could not believe it he was talking to Keshavlal  the man who owned all the seven shops on the block and was one of the biggest businessman in the town.The old man left laving Raghav awestruck.
            The next day Raghav visited the block and asked the lady working on the counter where he could find Mr Keshavlal.The lady directed him to the fifth floor of the building where Mr Keshavlal's office was located.On seeing him Mr Keshavlal immediately told him to start his job as the store manager of the electronics store which Raghav took up willingly that very day.Working with passion and dedication Raghav despite his blindness handled the store very well and became a hit with the customers.Within five years he was already managing four out of the seven and within another five he was Mr Keshavlal's right hand man.When time came for Mr Keshavlal's retirement he handed over the reins of his business to Raghav.
            Finally Raghav got the courage to ask why had Mr Keshavlal given him a chance when others refused.Mr Keshavlal answered,"I did not see your blindness like others did.Your eyes could not see but your eyes did reflect your dreams and ambitions,but most of all YOUR EYES REFLECTED TRUTH."





             

The girl at the hospital

I was in the most foulest of moods.The reason was simple,I was at the  hospital.Man,how I hated the hospital.People waiting,whining and talking about their problems,illnesses and the dreadful hospital service filled this crammed building and literally spoiled your day!!!
Well I had accompanied my mom for her yearly check ups.Why the hell did I have to go,why not Shankar mama.Damn my day was gone.Four long hours of boredom and torture later my mom appeared and told me her reports may come after two hours so we may as well wait.WHAT!another TWO BLOODY HOURS.I knew my sanity would not hold.Why me GOD!
The lady next to me was blabbering to another man,maybe her husband about how her mother had passed away in this very hospital.So why visit it again,stupid lady!My mood was definitely off.AND THEN SHE CAME.She was maybe one of the prettiest girls I had ever seen.the only thing that spoiled the scene was that she was that she was wheelchair bound.Man,another pretty face and future lost due to some bloody reason.I thought,"If all these ugly sick people complain so much about their conditions,how much will people like that poor girl be complaining."
And unfortunately she was wheeled right next to me waiting her chance to see her doctor.She had come with her father who looked damn grouchy.SHE HAD DEFINITELY NOT INHERITED HER LOOKS FROM THAT GUY.An elderly nurse came and told her father that the doctor was late and so they would have to wait for some time.I got ready for some serious ear hammering sound from her pretty mouth.All she said was,"Fine I have lots of time,so I will wait."That was a relief.
She turned her head towards me and asked cheerfully,"What is your name."I answered,"Krishna,and yours."
"Pari' she answered .After that what we talked about,how long we talked for and when those two hours crossed by,I had no idea.I just knew that I had met the most cheerful,the prettiest and the most contented girl ever.Why was she so contented and happy in life?
I realized I had asked her that dreadful question,aloud.DAMN why did I ever ask!!But she just nonchalantly answered,"Well I had an accident  five years back and in that I lost the ability to walk.But the doctors said that the accident could have been much worse and could have been a lot more damaging so basically i am the luckiest person in the entire world.So every day I thank God for saving me from that great accident."
I just could not believe it!When people with no problems were complaining in the hospital including me,this girl who had lost her ability to walk was thanking God for saving her!
I left that day absolutely changed.This girl whose name was 'Pari' meaning 'Angel' was truly one.Now whenever i go to hospitals I ignore the people who complain,instead I search for a Pari among them.I never saw Pari again,but I know that somewhere in this world she is still thanking GOD and I hope so with all my heart that every thing good happens to her and that people REALIZE THE INNER 'PARI' IN THEM.

Pretentious people

Well people say that nothing in this world is free.
I with them absolutely agree.
This world has its own share of false people
Who prey on the proud and feeble.

Beware of such people we say.
For they harm you in their twisted way.
False praise and false love.
With no fear from the God above.

Your good times they share with you.
And your riches too.
But where are they when you need them most.
Disappeared as they left their host.

So choose wisely your company,
and believe in those who truly care.
For they are your greatest treasures,
for with them your life you share.
