28 febbraio Aye dil mujhe bata deA song close to my heart - sung by Geeta Dutt, music: Madan Mohan. ऐ दिल मुझे बता दे, तू किस पे आ गया है
वो कौन है जो आकर, ख्वाबों पे छा गया है मस्ती भरा तराना, क्यों रात गा रही है
आंखों में नींद आकर, क्यों दूर जा रही है दिल में कोई सितमगर, अरमां जगा गया है वो कौन है जो आकर, खवाबों पे छा गया है ऐ दिल मुझे बता दे, तू किस पे आ गया है
वो कौन है जो आकर, ख्वाबों पे छा गया है बेताब हो रहा है, ये दिल मचल मचल के
शायद ये रात बीते, करवट बदल बदल के लल ला लल ला ... बेताब हो रहा है, ये दिल मचल मचल के शायद ये रात बीते, करवट बदल बदल के ऐ दिल ज़रा सम्भल जा, शायद वो आ गया है वो कौन है जो आकर, ख्वाबों पे छा गया है ऐ दिल मुझे बता दे ... भीगी हुई हवाएं, मौसम भी है गुलाबी
जा चाँद जा सितारे, हर तीर है शराबी धीरे से एक नग़मा, कोई सुना गया है वो कौन है जो आकर, ख्वाबों पे छा गया है ऐ दिल मुझे बता दे, तू किस पे आ गया है वो कौन है जो आकर, ख्वाबों पे छा गया है Roots of LoveThere was a young boy in ancient India. His name was 'Aakash'. He had a very lovely mother, father and a sister. When Aakash turned 7, he had to go in a forest far away from home for his education. There used to be "Gurukul(s)" in ancient india where young students went at an early age and they used to finish when they had become mature. These gurukul (schools) used to be in the forests - far from towns/cities and students had to stay there during their educational period. Aakash went to one of these gurukuls. He enjoyed at the starting but then he started feeling little lonely. He wanted to meet his mother. He started thinking - "I wish mother could have breakfast with me", "I wish I could play a sport with the mother", "I wish I could have lunch and dinner together with mother". Sometime after, he met a girl. She asked Aakash to have snacks together, one evening. They both talked about each other and had a great time together. Now he started thinking why is he getting attracted so much by a girl? Why he wants to meet her everyday? Why is he having expectations at all? He thought there was something wrong. The attraction of that sort is probably not a very good thing. He decided to find the origin of this. Today, he found the origin - the roots of this problem. Today he realised that he had forgotten where the love started from. He remembered the mother - the mother with whom he wanted to spend time. The mother who had sent this girl (or who was the girl herself). Today he realised that. All his expectations were now dying and he again started enjoying the ultimate happiness. So it feels like the love starts only from the origniality - when a person is being nice to you, he/she seems to be nearer to the original self. This is lovable and the love starts. Then [most of the times] impurities (like expectations) are mixed into these relationships. If these impurities are carefully avoided, a person will enjoy and keep great relations with others. Hari om tat sat. 25 febbraio NaatakNaatak (gujarati) means a play or a drama. Actors:
Siddhantvaadi Aakash
Jyotishi (astrologer) Dada (grandpa)
Many - so many - sad (dukhi) people - Mitti de baave (puppets made out of mud).
Scene 1: Sitting room (Deevan khand)
Aakash turns on T.V. and Jagjit singh sings:
Aakash is very happy after watching it. He turns off the T.V.
Scene 2: Sitting room
(Aakash's father and dada have travelled to New Zealand from India. Dada is a famous and skilled astrologer - Jyotish. He is sitting in the sitting room. Like how the light from a bulb doesn't ask to be spread, it just does, similarly, people have somehow known his skills and they are standing in a big queue - to know their future, to tell their sorrows. Who else is there to tell sorrows. God is only residing in temple, mosque or church for them.)
Scene 3: Dream
Aakash goes to bed. He gets a dream.
He sees the mother (as in song above), making a boy from mud (mitti da bawa). That boy doesn't talk, doesn't walk and doesn't reply (hung(?k?)ara).
Now there are many of these boys (mitti de bawe?) in the scene.
Aakash, still in his dream, recognises on boy who is singing the following lines:
"Aakash ka soona pan, mere tanha man me. Payal ChanKaTi tum, aa jao jiven mein ....."
The End. 2006 fun memoriesSharing two funniest memories from year 2006:
1) Mosambi
-------------
(Mosambi fruit is also known as sweet lime, it's not lime though)
Today, uncle came to baa (grandma) and said, "Mummy, this is mosambi. Not lime."
Baa: "Oh really! Oh god. In new zealand these limes are so big that it is hard to tell the difference."
Now I realised why dahl was tasting different for last few days!!
2) Questions
--------------
David Nutt is a great lecturer of electrical engineering at AUT. We had EEP (Electrical Engineering Principles) lab today.
One chinese classmate came to Mr Nutt and said, "Can I have some questions, sir?"
Sir replied, "Can you have some questions? [pause]. Yes! Sure.
Question 1: How do you spell China?
Question 2: What is your name?
Question 3: What is E?

I couldn't stop laughing. 24 febbraio We have been given - thoughtsWe learnt in last poem (well, so called?!
 ) that we have been given a few things - and with everything we get, we also get one more thing - Responsibility!We are responsible for using the things we have been given. We are responsible for whatever we do, whatever decisions we take.
This seems quite hard and after little thinking (of a few years) I have found an easy solution to this issue. This "might" work for you and so I am writing it.
Usually, whenever we come across something, where a decision is required, there are TWO possibilities. Either you take decision 1 OR you take decision 2! One is correct and the other one is NOT.
So it is as easy as selecting the correct one out of two.
Is it really that easy?
(Un?)fortunately not. Because until now, we might not have realised that there are so many decisions to take (which we are not even aware of). Let's look at a recent exmaple from my (lol) life:
I walk to the bus stop everyday to catch a bus to work. When I walk, sometimes there are ants running on the footpath. When I see that there are ants and I am walking on same path wearing shoes (for comfort!), I AM (I AM I AM I AM) responsible if any of the ants are killed by me. Now I have been given mind and so I should (must) find out how can I make sure none of the ants get killed while I walk on the streets. This was a (major) decision I had to take, which many people would not even realised (including me for last 3 years).
|| श्री ब्रह्मार्पणमस्तु || 18 febbraio Honeymoon PeriodI saw two people (Aakash and Sravanthi) having a conversation which relates to blogs on this Live space (Buffer Overflow and Roots of Sadness). Let's have a look:
Sravanthi:
"I saw ur blog on friday. The comment attracted my eyes... Honeymoon period description was ultimate... gud decription!! hehehe
Whats after that period?" Aakash:
"I think after that honeymoon period what comes is not very pleasant. Fights, misunderstandings, lots of expectations; all these things naturally come. All these things should be carefully avoided and if not avoided then there are tears.
But after this period, there is a period which stays for a long time - sustainably and that period is perfectly awesome. when both have understood all good and bad things about each other, and each remembers good things of the other thing and lives happily. I am sure you understand that this relationship refers to just any relationship - mother and daughter, father and son, friend and friend etc etc. not usual relationships which today's youngsters will understand. :)" Sravanthi:
"I think it's true for all other relations except blood relations...
I'll tell u why... The first time when we meet a person it's only their name and designation that we know... So we usually go with those ppl with whom we develop first impression which is positive. and so we respect them, thier thoughts and all..
Then comes what u called as honeymoon period.. bcoz of that good impression, we tend to think that the person is diff from others and we develop infactuation.. its true in case of all ppl... everything seems to go smooth and happy.. in the mean time we start expecting something out of this relationship and then comes misunderstandings and all others follow..." 15 febbraio Arjun's realisationકુરુક્ષેત્ર નામક ધર્મક્ષેત્રમાં યોધ્ધાઓની વચ્ચે સ્થિત અર્જુનને આજે સમજાયું કે જેમને હું એક મનુષ્ય, સખા/મિત્ર સમજતો હતો એ ખરેખર પરમાત્મા, સાક્ષાત્ પરમેશ્વર છે! એમને કોઇ બંધનો નથી, એમને કોઈ સીમાઓ નડતી નથી. એ સર્વજ્ઞાની છે. અરે! એમને કોમ્પ્યુટર પણ આવડે છે!

|| हरि ॐ तत् सत् || || श्री ब्रह्मार्पणमस्तु || 02 febbraio Karma - the way I understand! कायेन वाचा मनसेन्द्रियैर्वा बुद्ध्यात्मना वा प्रकृतेः स्वभावात् . करोमि यद्यद् सकलं परस्मै नारायणायेति समर्पयामि .. "Whatever I perform with body, speech, mind, limbs, intellect, or the inner self, either intentionally or unintentionally, I dedicate it all to that Supreme Lord Narayana." Karma is nothing fancy but a word which gets translated to "Work" or "Task" in google and I prefer to call it somewhere near "Duty". Duty might sound like a boring thing but can really be a very interesting thing if performed properly. 1) What duties? - Many people seem to be agreeing on the thought that "good" acts should be performed and "bad" acts should be avoided at all times. (e.g. donation and kindness are considered to be good acts and killing someone or stealing is considered as bad acts etc). We should follow this according to the religion we follow (if you don't call yourself a religious person, you still have a human-religion). - The acts should be performed which have naturally ascended on us - not the ones which we had desires for. (આવી પડેલું કર્મ in Gujarati) 2) How to perform? - It is said that every excellently performed act has some cosmic power (दैवी शक्ति) - something extra, cool and amazing - helping it. It is worth having a prayer to the God or to the nature to help us succesfully perform an act - It might be worthwhile telling the mind that I want to perform every act extra-ordinarily. - The act is then performed giving our 100% and a good positive (and happy) feeling. When work is "enjoyed", it is fun. - When the work is done, forgetting that we ever did it (as we - making us proud on success or sad on failure is problematic) - helps. Give it back to the one who helped us. That's it! Finished. हरि ॐ तत् सत् || श्री कृष्णार्पणम् || |
