Tribute to our martyrs who immolated themselves for a better world!

Just like you,
I love my life.
Just like you,
I love my wife.
But I cannot see injustice,
Nor will I take injustice.
I screamed out to you,
I screamed out to everyone of you.
But alas, you all busy with your own life,
Busy earning and spending it.
Everyone loves drama
So why not give it a try
My one last play of my life
I hope its entertaining
I hope its thrilling
MEanwhile enjoy the show
N I pray that you wake up before the show gets over!

3rd November 2008

I was on the way to office in my office shuttle when I got the news which was both shocking and hard to believe. My Srilankan friend Lakni called me up and was giving me the news that five of my friend seniors passed away. I still couldn't believe when she revealed me the news first. I thought may be they were just injured, maybe I heard her wrong in the hustle bustle of the bus. Then somehow when I reached office and again I got a call from my old college friend, she was crying and telling me the shredding news. Still everything looks so unreal. How can such an awful thing happen to my own friends who were so alive and jolly the last time I saw them and chat with them online just 2 days back. It was hard to digest the news that all five passed away, and suddenly when all the news were sinking in, I couldn't stop the tears flowing out from my eyes in office. My mentor was asking whats the matter, but there were no words coming out. It was blocked with grief and sorrow of tears for them. It was getting hard to breathe.

They were always so helpful, kind and fun-loving and unique persons in each of them. Pretham was our college president, Vikram was the cute and innocent boy, Lionel was always rocking and cool. Anwar was tall and handsome and kind-hearted. Sam was such a nice person always cracking jokes and making everyone's life more beautiful. Then all of sudden this mishap happened and shook every one's life apart.

After a day of thinking, I just wanted to share here what I was going through....

We all know that one day we are going to leave our body and embrace our souls into the arms of the one up above but still we gets so engaged and engrossed in life that we fail to realize it in real feeling. We think it can happen to other person but not to me!!... untill and unless it happens to one of your near and dear ones. Its the irony of life, our death is sure and its better if we realize it sooner than later. Everything whether living or non-living is impermanent. We are living in a world of illusions and fantasy.. babies are born, flowers grow and bloom and then wither away... it's lovely petals blows away wid the wind spreading its frgrance of love and joy.. wind blows strong and then dies away... I know, whatever I am telling here seems so dumb and already known by us all but still its the fact and we tend to overlook it.

So, what I am trying to tell is. Nothing is really important today, tomorrow.. but still sometimes it seems as if whole world is on your head and you start taking tensions which is rather to be laughed at! We look at ants and see how they work together but seems so insignificant to us, like wise we are a smaller particle than an ant in this huge galaxy, universe.... so how can the world sit on your head ;)... so live each moment of your life and never do things which you will feel sorry and regret later on no matter what others feel. So cheers to life! This chapter of life will never come again in your life, so make it more beautiful with your smile and spread that happiness to all!

A day in city of Kolkata!

There are three kinds of people in this world. One who is trying hard to survive in this world, the world of poverty. The other part who lives lavishly and is busy in making himself/herself handsome/lovely and always seek for unnecessary pleasure. And the third one, I need not say but still let me specify here... the majority of the people like us.

And in this great old city called Kolkata, I found streets bustling with busy people engaged in their job. Seeing them you can find that most of them are mostly hardworking, poverty stricken and surviving hard to live a life! Dressed in rags and I wonder whether they ever took bath with hair all tusseled and faces all smeared.

Morning market will be filled with chinese people with hawkers and old clothes seller, vegetables etc. But its the morning freshair which everyone enjoy. By around 9 again the air will be dense with dust making the visibility unclear and breathing suffocating.

You can hear people bargaining over things they are purchasing and hens crying since they are to be slaughtered for some people's greedy meal. Its really such a pity seeing such a sight.

While returning home with one of our small worker from our shop, I had a conversation with him which will remain etched in my heart forever. There I saw a rich kid with clean clothes riding a huge sports bike and speaking in his cell, I asked the worker, " You like riding, Do you know how to ride?" not knowing that it meant something more to him then just a normal question. He sighed and seeing a kid of his age with that look and maturity makes you wonder "How?" and he said me few words which still ring in my ears whenever I remember his face. He said some people are lucky to be born rich, that boys dad was rich .. so, whatever he is having right now is because his father was rich and he is enjoying and I am born to a poor family and I have accepted the truth and work hard to live my life as it is. If you are a rickshaw drivers son, then its quite obvious you will become one. So, we should learn to take life as it is and always feel grateful and lucky for wat god has granted us. God decides how we are born but we should decide how we want to live!

May god bless this boy forever!

a thought

In life, so many ups and downs will be there for sure. Even though at times you know you are doing the right thing.. things doesn't go well and you know you did a mistake. That time you should admit that mistake and carry on with life without falling apart!
Whateva happens in life happens for good. Everything has a reason and that reason is dam sure to be a good one. As long as you trust on your abilities and dare to dream big and strive hard to achieve and hang on with your dreams though how difficult the path may be. Life's journey really teaches a lot and one thing to always remember is to take it easy and live the moment cause you never know if you are there for tomorrow. So leave no regrets and do the right thing without fooling others including yourself. Living life with principles just makes the life much more worth living then just the namesake of living life. Good things always happen to good people. Though its easy for someone to write the key to success on a page of book and to ponder on those thought but it takes only a winner to practise on it in reality. So am sure you will prove to be one of them!
