Nature, all around us is free flowing. Sans boundaries and walls.

Lamp emits light, not because it is obliged to
That's the sole purpose of its existence.
I endure pain, not because I have to
That's the soul way to find my purpose.
Methodologies and Standard Operating Procedures are best left with Research and Operations.
In any relationship, 'intent' supersedes 'content'.
If this is understood, Life will be "Content".

Nature, all around us is free flowing. Sans boundaries and walls.
Yet, we attempt to define a framework and presumably believe we control everything. All that we can touch and see and all that we can't too. Oh! We poor misguided mortals.

We are hostages of knowledge, passed through legacy in the name of experience, culture and tradition.
Quest for structure and patterns have enslaved us in the name of society.
While barbarism is one end of the spectrum, expectations of extreme compliance is the other end.
Extremist ideologies are byproducts of such expectations.
These ideologies can never be corrected by might.
War is NOT the answer.

Nature defined two types of species
"Prey" & "Predators"
Humans went ahead and messed it up all again.
Presenting the mystery breed "Pray-Daters"
Who pray only on specific days and dates?

What separates Men from the Boys is attitude and risk taking ability
What separates Success from Attempts are the "ifs and buts"
What separates Leaders from the herd is quest for perfection and not just excellence.

Ethics & Ethos = Envious Neighbors who seldom see eye to eye
Faith and Belief = Sense of fake belonging and Relief
Tradition & Ambition = Oxymoron
Culture and Scripture = Two rails that go together but don't meet each other
Convenience & Connivance = Partners in Crime
Religion and Region = Cause and effect
Conspiracy and Democracy = Two sides of a coin

Every Human Being can create Magic by being one of the below:
Maverick, Agile

= MAGIC
OR
Meticulous, Adaptable, Gifted yet Imaginative
& totally Committed = MAGIC

Quantity and Quality
Power and Self-Control
Rage and Sage
Energy and Wisdom
No matter how hard you try, you can never be on both sides of the coin – at a time.
However, they are two sides of the same coin.
They may be balanced but greed for one will push the other into oblivion.

12 Mar 2015False statements or lies guise as "Rumor", spreads and is believed instantly.
Truth however has a painful journey and has to prove itself.
"Innocent - until proven guilty" has conveniently transformed into
"Guilty until proven innocent"

In the corporate world,
One MUST invest in knowledge. In one's domain and across all other departments.
That's the ONLY thing that promises amazing returns at the right time and stages of career.
Hard-work and dedication is available off the shelf and has no novelty value.
Loyalty is a thing of the past. 'Perform OR Perish' is the mantra today.
We need to strike our own "Goal-based" Work-Life Balance since it is never served on a platter.

Relationships are like a mirror.
If you are straight, the reflections would remain straight.
The minute you change the angle, every reflection changes.

Mirror Mirror – if you exist at all
Which is the tallest “Tower” of them all
The answer is simple – It’s Man’s own ego
To prove his point, how low can he go?
I corrected, you mean how “far” can one go?
Mirror smiled and said, "There you go"

To "Make-Believe" is to "Entertain"
To "BE" is to "LIVE"
"Make-Believe" for selfish gains is to "Con" & "Run"
"Living Selflessly" is a "Conundrum"

Interstellar Victim: What's the big fuss about Time-Travel anyway? We travel to the future everyday in Mumbai. It's evening when we leave office and is well past NIGHT when we get HOME.
Interstellar Fan: That's "Travel-Time" and NOT "Time Travel"
Interstellar Victim: Now you're messing with my head again.

If completion and finishing of tasks and realization of goals call for
celebration,
why does one's completion of life's journey end up in mourning and NOT celebration?
No matter what, someone just played their part and finished their journey right?

A spoke; B spoke
Silence
A reiterated; B discussed
A argued; B reasoned
A flared; B gave in
A beamed with victory; B smiled with maturity
Being right is not at the cost of someone being wrong.
Agree to Disagree! It's an endangered virtue

Disappointing Results often shake up self-confidence.
Tasks/deeds that are done without focus and our 100% commitment lead to disappointing results.
Obligation often leads to doing tasks that we dislike.
Let's not allow obligation to cloud our self-confidence.
Self-Confidence is made up of capabilities and knowledge blended with passion.

These assets are treated differently.

ONION, when cut, brings tears.
We don't cut it and leave it.
Usually, we savour it. When savoured in the right manner, its good for health.

Life is a struggle. Everyone yearns for peace of mind.
World is at the brink of war. impatient and restless, everyone's in search of peace.
While excuses evade peace of mind, bullets and grenades evade peace.
Bruised and battered, somewhere, truthfulness and faith are waiting to be resurrected.

They were jolted out of their slumber
Dusted and groomed to shine
Hope floated for the two of them
They would kiss their purpose once again.
The moment arrived. They saw the golden rays of the sun.
They ran like there would be no tomorrow.

A few days later...
The pair of shoes, now a Friday accessory,
tearing their ass off bearing the (over)weight of their master.

बिकाऊ हैं सस्ते; गरीबी में धन्स्ते!
नेताओं के झाँसे में फंस्ते
आपसी लड़ाइयों में कमर कस्ते!
पड़ोसी मुल्क को केवल धम्की बरस्ते
अब देखो आ गए रस्ते!
हम फ़िर भी हँस्ते
आप सभी को प्यार भरा नमस्ते!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If this world is a stage
and we the actors, wonder who the characters are...
Maybe the protagonists and antagonists change roles now and then;
But there is always a "romance" brewing.
Is your current ROMANCE with your spouse, books, music, passion OR
job, profession and currency?

While the world was wondering
"To Be or not to Be"
A young tall lad came by and asked
Small "b" or Big "B"
Attitude changed and the rest is History

Witnessed the birth of a need
and the subsequent acts to feed
but as soon as the need was fed
the infant need grew to a mischievous wish
As the law of growth would have it,
the mischievous wish was then a teenage desire
Desire teased and dated expectations
And with a blink of an eye
Desire was now a fully grown greed
Greed finally married and settled with disappointment!

I read an article about life before and after Google.
The first thought that flashed in my mind was...
The answers have always been out there before or after.
It's always been the trick of finding the right question.

A carefree boy, riding in the fast lane
zipping through the traffic in zigzag motion
Jumping signals with pride and an air of arrogance
A few hours later, at a flickering red dot on the screen
his life was set to a straight green line...

feeling lazy and restless at the same time
Was ‘prescribed’ RETAIL therapyCame back with some smiling faces and feeling really light.
Meanwhile, my wallet was busy showing off his weight loss

There was a day when someone told me
"You are not indispensable"
Today I understand, my role is not indispensable..
but my personality is indeed indispensable!-

One evening, I asked my wife with my daughter in tow.
"If my answer is YES, what will you ask today?"
Both of them replied in unison: "Can we have Your TIME?".
My job, my salary and my designation stood with their heads hung in shame.

Born and brought up in the corporate race culture
Do one – amplify ten times. Achieve one – amplify a hundred times.
Then you come across so many who just do and vanish in the sea of humanity
Wonder where these unsung heroes come from?
Deep down, my conscience smiles!

Everyone's driven by Mood!Jolted up by a nightmare
Imagine my morning mood
Stepped out of the house
Multiplied similar moods of passers-by
Simply put, that explained chaos theory.
Searching for the “undo” button – Smile!
