WALK THROUGH WILDERNESSS..

WALK THROUGH WILDERNESSS..

 

Last week it was fun traveling RAJGIR..

Little did I realize that the place where I was headed to would be so picturesque!

People often share their experiences of visiting various hill stations but seldom do we enjoy the beauty of foothills and the nearby plains.

A hill station is a perfect place to unwind as it provides ample solace, quietude and takes you closer to nature. Out there, the stars appear closer and the moon remains happily perched over your shoulders. Dawn breaks and somewhere in the hills, an orange ball begins to rise. Imagine walking slowly on a beaten track over the slopes, covered with shrubs and dried leaves. The whistling wind clears your path, blows little spec of dust on your shoes and the dead leaves whisper loudly. Thick yellow rays pass through the branches and lit your path. In the next moment, the sun plays hide and seek with the trees.

You slowly wade through the misty clouds, serene, salubrious weather, and pollution free atmosphere. Almost every hill station boasts of quaint shops, gabled houses embellished with wooden decors and brightly coloured sloping roofs with dish antennas. Once in a while you come across charming facades, immaculately painted picket fences surrounding dark colonial stone structures overlooking courtyards, neat little orchards with cleverly laid driveway made from broken bricks, pebbles and gravel.

You stroll further and end up at a turn that offers a breathtaking view. The joy of watching the ground below and the splendid panorama in front is simply unbelievable. You feel rejuvenated and for a moment forget the regular grind of drudged city life. Every object in distance appears smaller and   zigzagging across valleys and intersecting the lush green plains. Suddenly the plains look more attractive and alluring.

The 50 minutes drive from Chandi takes you through Rajgir via Biharsharif and the famous badi and choti pahari in Biharsharif. The road is surrounded by lush green meadows, maize and wheat fields. The vehicle stops and with it also the clock, making way for the cattle to majestically cross the street. You can see the hand pumps fixed near the plastered brick water tanks. You see men toiling in the fields behind, women carrying water and children sometimes waving and running on the street. Small garages and shops on the road display various wares. The biggest shop in every village is liquor and wine theka (shop) and these shops are well decorated. There are separate shops for country (Tharra – local brew) and Angreji (foreign or branded) liquor.

There are tiny Dhaba’s (food joint) with enviable parking space.

The entire stretch is full of potholes, ditches and craters bigger than those found on the moon. Don’t be surprised if you experience therapeutic manipulations in the car or bus.

Everyday almost hundreds of vehicles ply on this road and yet no one seems to be bothered to repair the road. The road from Biharsharif is long and little better.

Throughout the journey, you see magnificent contours

Several brick kilns greet you

Every chimney indicates the religion of the owner as it displays Hindu and Sikh religious symbols with pride. I was glad to find the end product i.e. the bricks similar. The place is abuzz with excavation and construction activities.

As soonn as you reach the top hill you can hear the birds mellifluously singing.

Few moments later you begin to enjoy the sound of silence. A cool breeze caresses your face and your hair gently jives in rhythm. The pine–scent gets thicker and everything around you appears brown, dark brown, green and dark green.Near the sloping edges, you could distinctly see several dusty paths in various directions.my journey to Rajgir was awesome and nonetheless  ever forgettable....

Y DO I DO THIS.????

Why do i do this often use to ask?
Why waste time don't have better task.
This is not only me but what most of us do.
Sneaking into our pains we went through.
Why she left me why did i failed.?
Can such remembrances reverse the time we sailed.?
Ups and downs comes in life with all new sights.
Nothing awaits,life moves on as a trickling flask.
Why do i do this often use to ask?
Precursor of heart breaks,all set backs.
Must come in life to teach us the value of relation packs.
We never can tell how close one are.
It may be near when it so far.
We curse our destiny for all went wrong .
Though we never praise on,the time in our song,
We depend on journey of faith with a topical mask.
Why do i do this often use to ask.????

ANCESTRAL QUESTS..

It doesn't even matters how hard they try,
True love wins over all hue and cry,
you,we,I but love never die,
Console the immense it's not a pie,
weed we think in the plough of fields
devoid of nurture though it yields,
Only those can taste who have got it's depth,
sour it seems whose heart never have been theft,
Why they try though know its a waste
their efforts can't make any Quest
For them we are perverted brats,lost in their ways,
but a bliss! we find extreme pleasure as such they say,
people judge a meager as we all know,
still they don't want to see the truth of major class though
talking of them a life is a corollary,one shouldn't attempt any change,
But they have got no clue of the outcome,when the inner fire is exchanged.
for us better be an entrepreneur than social self imposed and shy.
Because the ancestral trace versus love is never gonna tie..

THE NIGHT WE MEET..

Gloomy was the nigth with moon so brigth.
like a siver plate,cynosure of sight,
the moon came in it's chariot of heart,
it was then i met my little sweet heart
this the most loving gift that god has made
whose embracing colours will never fade,
everything seemed bright ad clear
as the sun in the midst of the year
the night was cold and bitter
my mid howled ad the stars glittered
with twinkle in her eyes,she was saying in pride,
her words were enough to batter away the cold in stride
i wanted the moment shall never go away
suppose to persue the time to still for this gay.
the silver tit of clouds of doubts
i felt,the world with her,had she stuck me out
decades to go,wishes together we can see
but the best is yet to be..

DeSpErAtE LiFe..

One's deparate life needs to take a break.

who knows our speed up life ,will take us to which track,
living on hope to live in certainity,
in between,our promises hive in dignity.
when i remind myself of those moments,
it always ashtonishes me for heavenly abode
but are only a few in my life to adore.
not till day they'll ever come again
they urge me seek solace.
though i took all alone in life's race
to sense the feeling of gratitude
'cause it is all due to her..
i still remember those in solitude
no matter i am bereft of her..
succumbed of all desparations
one thing i forget never she is the only i don't wat to miss ever.
who gave me all
yes the precoius ones....
whatever is to happen shall happen
one who comes have to die
that's the ultimate truth beyond every lie.
immortal is my feeligs , may not be I

feelings I persued will always keep her alive..

DELIMMA OF LIFE..

Every day i don't want to open my eyes......just want to remember d sweet moments i spent ever in my lyf time.....& want to dwell those moments again.....but every dawn bring froth a new day either we want or not......something inevitable,something good or great.........everyday brings change......in degrees though.....& we accept it.... rediscover our compassion from various things in our lyf

BLOSSOMS OF VALENTINE..

There are different ideas as to where or how the celebration of Valentine's Day began.
The Roman's celebrated a festival called Lupercalia on February 14. This festival was held to ward off the danger of wolves to their flocks and honored their God Lupercalia. This is one idea. The Christian Church had two Saints named Valentine and two other ideas center around them. The Roman Emperor, Claudius the II forbade young men to marry in 200 A.D. He believed single men made better soldiers, free of family concerns. A priest named Valentine disobeyed the Emperor and married couples in secret. The next Saint Valentine was a lover of children but, was imprisoned when he would not honor other gods. The children missed him and wrote messages of affection to him. They threw their notes through the bars of his cell. This may have been the beginning of exchanging messages. He was executed on February 14, 269 A.D. Pope Gelasius in 496 A.D. named February 14th, Valentine's Day, after him. The fourth idea concerning the celebration of Valentine's Day is based on the belief that birds or fowl pick their mates on February 14th. It was believed love birds in particular, chose this day to begin mating.

A Frenchman, Charles, Duke of Orleans is credited with writing the first Valentine.Frenchman celebrating Valentine's Day
He was captured by the English during the battle of Agincourt in 1415. On Valentine's Day he sent his wife a rhyming love letter from the tower of London, where he was imprisoned.

   

SIEZE THE MOMENT..

It always matters for timing and managing things according in life what its is all about siezing the moment. We have the ability to control time ,The sense of time is different for different people who lives intensely .It is important to love your work so that time doesn't hang heavy .

                                                                  most of us tell our self we have all time in the world for something wee want to do but never get down to it. It's wise a few who balance the work and life with time they only get down to realism  of various strata of living.

"There are two ways of looking at things , you can either feel that the Time is running out and feel  defeated or get a better understanding of things as you get older".

It is important to look forward and back but without getting bogged down ,don't brood or bask in past glory.

Overall we conclude we should not let the Time to slip through our fingers and create space for things that are important...

 

UNBURDEN YOURSELF OF EGO........

When a person carries baggage more than his capacity to carry weight ,his face becomes distorted in pain.

similar is the case when one's personality carries the heavy load of ego and self-interest.A constant conflict, a feeling of perpetual dissatisfaction and irritation with self and rest of world are some of the obvious outcomes.This creates a huge barrier between the person who are around him.He becomes unpleasant and emotionally volatile.we are aware of all this ,yet we do not make efforts to reduce the weight of the baggage.

The more selfish we are,higher the probability that we become complicated ,losing simplicity of mind.being materialistic, one loses the quality to appreciate,for example the beauty of nature ad daw to remain engrossed in it.

If each one of us pursues self-interest there can bee conflict as two objectives ca be contradictory to each other,leading to violence,

                                     However selfless action-The capacity to think beyond 'I, me,myself ' and to persue action beyond those limits --can reduce substantially the possibility of such conflicting outcomes.Selfless action is therefore ,an important way of attaining salvation in life..

Only selfless action can deliver peace and bliss hence, if we need peace in life let us not find faults with others ; we need to identify our own pitfalls first. If we cut down  on our heavy baggage of ego and self intrest a bit, it won't be difficult to realise the vastness withinus and find joy in life...

"LOVE"

we begin to grow and expand only when our concern for others outweighs the concern for ourselves,true love can only be unconditional and all encompassing,when we fall truely in love with ourselves and with the whole of the existence even with the least exception,so love should be by the heart and to the heart.

really love is another name of god the external,the ever present and the ever blissful.

Love is the ultimate truth beyond every lie which is immortal,it always triumphs over experiances and ages. .

love is more powerful than facts and is the only cure for grief.

Overall love is arihant,unleashed and stronger than knowledge.

It is in the hymn we sing,we find everything colored,joyed and pleasant in love.

All in this world appears to be alive and life seems very worthy of it's kind.

Love is a worship of almighty,pious as heavenly abode.its an innocence of a new born baby.

People fall in love not knowing why or how?it's so a special feeling that it does'nt requires much answers.

We just love no matter how stupid we become before anyone.....

DISHA..

बातों से मतलब नहीं सरता है
कुछ कर के दिखाना पड़ता  है
है जोशे बाजू तो कर्मठ बन
गंभीर होकर सबसे आगे तन
रख अपने पर यकीन की तुम कर सकती हो
बरबस होकर भी ज़माने से लार सकते हो 
किसने कहा तुझसे की तू कमजोर है 
मैं कहता हूँ की तेरे गुण का न कोई छोर  है 
कदम बस आगे बढ़ाना है 
क्यूंकि शिखर तक तुझको जाना है
आगे बढ़ते चलो वोही तेरी डगर है 
कुछ पाने का होर यही जीवन का सफ़र है 
मुर कर क्यूँ देखते हो अतीत को 
अतीत में गुजरा संसार है 
वर्तमान में ही आगे कर द्वार है 
अन्धकार में मत देखो भटक जाओगे
रोशिनी से चमक पाना सिख जाओगे
 बड़ते चलो जीवें यापन का सही श्रोत पाओगे.

LIFE.....

Alone in life how long one can go,
It needs someone along as a pro,
Not all has god's lovely grace,
only afew gets this covering trance,
Love is the way as peace after war,
Traces in successions,the sparkles in stars,
True for me,well i am not too behind,
All shall adore though never felt this kind..
