ज़िद है

ज़िद है खुश रहने की,
दर्द में मुस्कराने की,
खोए हुए को पाने की,
बंदिश से उसको छुड़ाने की|

ज़िद है स्नेह प्रकट करने की,
टूटे हुए दिल में प्यार भरने की,
खुद पे सितम सहने की,
और बदले में कुछ न कहने की|

ज़िद है भूख मिटाने की,
रोते हुए को हँसाने की,
बुराई को पराजित करने की,
शांति  का परचम लहराने की|

ज़िद है ऊंची छलांग लगाने की,
गिर के भी संभल जाने की,
चोट को भुलाने की,
मंज़िल को पा जाने की|

ज़िद है खुद की राह चुनने की,
और उन राहों पर निरंतर आगे बढ़ने की,
दिन में भी सपने देखने की,
और उन सपनो को पूरा करने की|

ज़िद है जीत जाने की,
और हार में जीतने वाले को सराहने की,
पर फिर से प्रयास करने की,
और कभी न हार मानने की|

ज़िद है खुद के फेसले लेने की,
और उन्हें अंत तक निभाने की,
उनके लिए कोई भी कीमत चुकाने की,
और कभी ना अफ़सोस जताने की|

ज़िद है तुम्हारी रक्षा करने की,
और इस प्रण के लिए प्राण गवाने की,
तुम्हे खुश रखने की,
और तुम्हारा साथ निभाने की|

ज़िद है सत्य मार्ग पर चलने की,
और मिथ्या को उजागर करने की,
सबका हित चाहने की,
सिद्धांततः जीवन बिताने की|

ज़िद, बस ज़िद ही तो है जीवन में,
कुछ कर गुजरने की,
ज़िद को ही हासिल कर जाने की,
असंभव को पा लेने की,
हार को मुह की खिलाने की|

Upon My Death

The day when I will be dead,
I will want you to remember what I said,
that I would much more like,
if you will celebrate what I did in my life,
than you being sad,
and mourning my being dead.

The day when I will be forever gone,
that day should not be your life's dusk, but be its dawn,
that day when my body will be nothing but a brawn,
in your heart I will want a picture of mine to be drawn,
not to remind you of my decease,
but to forever tell you that I always desired for your peace.

The day when the distance between me and the world will trine,
I will want you to know that your heart will always reside close to mine,
that day I may end up either in heaven or in hell,
but where ever I be, I will want that in happiness may you dwell,
and as when alive, I had always worked for your state of weal,
even after my demise, your welfare will persist to be my zeal.

The day when I will be dead, and you bereaved,
you won't have anyone with whom you can share you fervour,
that day I will want you adopt a being, who in this world full of people stays lonely,
and with whom your life will be once again forever be lovely,
in the form of him, with me you can share your love,
and you will be my agent of peace, my lovely dove.

The day when I will be dead,
every part of my body will became useless except my head,
but still I wont want it to go waste,
so I will ask you to cut it into pieces and to use it to enhance some non-veggies's taste,
or to put it in front of some natural beast,
so that on my body, he can feast,
because it will be useless for my body to be buried or be burned,
and by being someone food, some goodness for me, my body will earn.

The day when I will be dead,
I will ask you to donate the leftover parts of my head,
so the things that will become useless for me, like my eyes and ear,
will come into use of some unfortunate being, to see and hear,
and with those, he will be once again be happy and pleased,
seeing which, my soul will rest in peace.

My sayings, a collection part II.

~In difficult times, when we ourselves cannot trust our own sanity, then how can we expect others to trust it.

~The biggest problem that is persistent in today's world is that every being, either it be an animal, a woman, a child or anyone else, is looked upon as a property and not as a sentiment living being. It is when we start treating them as a sentiment living being and not as a property, then only most of the problems faced by us today will be solved.

~ Never be afraid of chasing your dream, however dark the path may be. Some point of time in your life you will realize that those dream were the only thing that you had.

~We need money, not to be happy but to buy the idea that we are happy, because in reality, we all are not. 

~Never be afraid to talk to a learned man. Even a small conversation can change your life for eternity. And if you do, talk with an open mind.

 ~Only those who have enemies, needs a friend.

 ~The problem with being an Alchemist is that by the time you are one, you are not anymore interested in the gold or the elongated life you might get with the philosopher stone and elixir of life you have produced. The only thing that interests you anymore is your undying thirst for knowledge and purity.

 ~No God is greater than any of the living being, hence no life should be sacrificed/killed in his name.

 ~If you don't question your faith then your faith is in question.

 ~There is only one true God. And he is "God", who has no name, no religious followers, who is impartial to all his creatures, who is just God.

~One who smile less, lives less.

~Smile till you are alive, and you will smile for eternity.

~True beauty lie on face and lies in a compassionate heart.

~I fail to understand why the founder (or God) of ANY religion will be so partial to let one of his creation destroy all the other of his beautiful creations. What has these HUMAN done to deserve this partiality? I respect all religion and believe that all the Gods are just to all their creation, not only to human, it is just that we human were unable to get his message carefully in the first place and hence, directly abuse him by making other species suffer in his name.

~If your life is dull and dark, try to make some one smile and that smile of his will brighten your whole life.

~A smile is a source of great power, it has the ability to lighten ones life forever.

~Don't underestimate silence, it has the capability to give rise to great storms.

~Don't underestimate silence, it can give shelter to great storms.

~A smile is all I have, a smile is all I can give and a smile is all that i desire for.

~Hatred and jealousy are not synonyms. Jealousy is only a hypothesis that the other person is superior than you but hatred is a confirmation of his superiority.

~Hatred will kill you and make you exactly like the person you hate.

~Greed spares none, not even its owner.

~Hate has never killed anyone but the beholder.

~The more I know about humans, the more I wish I wouldn't have known them at all.

~X-men are mutants by seeds (birth), Wo-men are mutants by creed, but V-men (Vegans) are mutants by deeds, they have evolved into much compassionate beings. (V>W>X)

~The best way to be happy is by being the source of happiness.

~A beautiful smile sprouts from a compassionate heart.

~Love as if you have no brains so that it doesn't matter to you what you have gained or lost and love as if you have no heart so that it doesn't hurt you in the end!!

~Slaughtering thousands of innocent animals in the name of God is an unforgivable and cowardly sin. Animal liberators target corrupt and evil men who exploit the animals and society and behave barbarically. They never target innocent lives by planting bombs, killing or harassing them. This is what separates an animal liberator from a terrorist. An animal liberator lives to fight and a terrorist hides to live.

~How can someone not be dazed by seeing how people take pleasure in others agony?

~I don't break rules, because i make my own rules.

~Dream as if you are daring and dare as if you are dreaming and you will never fall.

~Partially differentiate the word with respect to yourself to get the much awaited solitude and peace!!

~ Worrying is just a waste a time. You either have the potentials to get out of a situation or you don't. If we have the potentials then however difficult the situation may be, you will find your way out of it and if you don't have potentials then however hard you try, you won't be able to get out of the situation and so whats the point of worrying anyhow?

~ I better be in harmony with myself than with those who don't respect my values.

~ The day we loose our innocence is the day we loose our greatest source of happiness.

~ My professor said that my grades don't shows my intelligence.
Well, my grades don't shows my intelligence because i am too modest to let my grades to show off my intelligence. *sigh*

You May Forget

You may forget my name,
or the field, which was my game,
you may forget who i am,
or what was my life's aim,
you may forget my face,
or the city which was my birth place,
you may forget the things that was for me to claim,
or all those things that brought me to fame,
but never forget the things for which I stood,
even though you may or may not consider it good,
as being a man I should always be known for my ideals,
as these ideals are the one which take me to my state of weal.

You may forget what I said,
or whether I am alive or dead,
you may forget that we were ally,
or whether you considered me a wise guy,
you may forget whether we had ever talked,
or whether we have on a fine morning ever walked,
you may forget that I am your abettor,
or how I wanted your life to be more brighter,
but never forget that I will be always on your side,
and if ever you need me, with you on dangerous path I will ride,
but difficulties in your course is not what I aspire,
as your euphoria is all I desire.

You may forget what you spoke,
and how those words made my heart broke,
you may forget how wildly have you acted,
and how by those act, I have been adversely effected,
you may forget how you tried to got rid,
and how you left me in the mid,
you may forget when in my need, you said good-bye,
and how those actions made me cry,
but never forget that towards you, I don't hold spite,
and even in my low consciousness, I don't intend to smite,
and never forget that, for your deeds, you have been purged,
and all I want for you is that, may you be blessed.

Events and greetings

November 1st- International Vegan Day

Lets mark this day in the honor of all those grieving mother cows who lost their young ones just for a glass of milk because we are too stubborn to get over our obsession with dairy, for all those lonely chickens who lost their loved ones just for a piece of there legs because we are too timid to find any other way to treat our taste buds and for all those innocent lives who lost their lives or the lives of their loved ones just to please a superpower who holds apathy to the agony of others because we are too meek to question him and our faith.
Happy International Vegan Day!!

When the words lost its meaning.

In the midst of the storm, stood I,
and tears came flowing down my eyes,
by knowing that it is useless speaking,
now, since the words has lost its meaning.

Trying hard to look into the past,
wondering what my memory will cast,
I saw myself doing a morning walk,
with a person with whom i had to talk.

There were lots of thing I was suppose to say,
before the very death of the day,
being uncertain that before the next day will dawn,
that person will be here or else be gone.

Despite feeling very meek,
I opened my mouth to speak,
there were lots of words which I uttered,
but out of them, was there any word which really mattered?

A lots of word were still left unspoken,
as if they would have had broken,
the heart of person whom I care,
and ultimately laying them bare.

On a contrary it would have made his day,
but still those were the word which i was unable to say,
as if I was surrounded by some fear,
as he was the one whom I hold dear.

Next dawn, I suddenly got out of my snooze,
with a very terrible and heart shaking news,
he was forever gone, never to return,
giving me sensation of a heart burn.

There were a lots of things I wanted to tell,
which now can only be done by a knell,
that I wanted him to be awesome,
and to make him blossom.

And to be merry,
so that his nights would be bright and starry.
That I only wanted to conciliate,
and never to repudiate.

But those are the words that will now remain unspoken,
making my spirit even more sunken,
and my nights much more dark,
filling it with a sound similar to hound's bark.

In the midst of the storm, standing I,
and still the tears flowing down my eyes,
knowing that I am still so meek,
that I won't be able to speak.

But I have to gather some dare,
to show how much I care,
and how much I appreciate,
so as to make him rejuvenate.

This time I had to tell,
as I don't want to knell,
and to make it useless speaking,
and to make the words loose its meaning.

Speak before it becomes useless speaking,
speak before the words loose its meaning,
speak before the very end,
speak before you will condemn.

Nature's Teaching

I came to a sudden halt,
while walking on asphalt,
when my mind was flooded with thought,
that, "is my life really worth?"

There was nothing in my life that I haven't gain,
and there was not even a single trace of pain.
But I felt that there was someone in my life who was missing,
and that was the one who would provide me with his teachings.

In my mind a lots of questions were being raised,
that, "is education all about getting good grades?
If it is, then in a world full of witty,
why is there so much apathy?"

So I asked the lord to provide me with a teach,
who will bring my goodness in my reach.
The lord said that you are surrounded with such gems,
its just that you are unable to recognize them.

He asked me to take a walk into the wood,
so as to find someone who will teach me some good.
I did as he had told,
and went into forest to find some gold.

There i saw a blood smeared ape,
who was trying to get back into shape.
He was trying to rise after falling from a tree that was tall,
and taught me how to rise after a great fall.

I walked a little further to find an old man,
who was being secluded by his own clan,
but he stood happy even in the plight,
and taught me how to make a dull day bright.

After walking further a mile,
I saw something that made me smile,
there were some cows, whose milk humans do steal,
were all trying so that those humans wound can be healed.

And the chicken, whom these human kill,
where bringing water from the bottom of the hill,
so that the injured humans can take a potation,
and thus in a way, taught me an act of compassion.

I felt hungry by the time I reached the forest end,
and found a man with whom I soon became friend,
by providing food to my hungry self he was being fair,
and taught me how a friend takes care.

With that i came out of the coppice,
so as to surmise,
that there is so many teachers around us,
whom we are unable to trust.

By the end of the whole walk, I came to a conclusion,
that a teacher teaches us to smile, care and to show compassion,
and is not merely someone who makes us earn our food,
but are also the ones who makes us good.

A plea of a friend.

If my memory is serving me well,
I remember meeting you in hell,
hell because the events that have taken place,
and because the mighty God didn't showed you his grace.

As we were almost about to be friend,
that's the event i wish would have never happened,
I wish that time you would have known,
that i am the person for whom your mom said no.

As we were going to take the oath,
of being friend from that day forth,
I wish i would have told you then,
that by being my friend you will repent.

And together as we were growing old,
I wish i would have been a little more bold,
I wish i would have shown you who actually i am,
so as to save you from all those embarrassment.

That day when you were relying on me,
I don't know how you failed to see,
that someday i will let you down,
and being with me will make you look like a clown.

That day when you asked me for a small favor,
I wonder how you didn't notice that i began to waver,
in my deeds i was not being fair,
as if something was making me scare.

That day when you were all alone,
you were desperately trying to reach me on my phone,
I wonder how you didn't had a clue,
that i was trying to ignore you.

That day when i was supposed to take your side,
I made you stand alone in the fight,
and when you were surrounded by the hound,
instead of helping you, i was home bound.

That is why i din't want you to be my friend,
as i don't want to start a new trend,
of being a friend, only because of greed,
and not being with you in the time of need.

Thus i put forward my plea,
hoping that you will forgive me,
as i always wanted to make you glad,
but somehow i always made you sad.

I wish i would have shown you much more care,
and for you i would have done much more prayer,
And I would like you to know,
that i was never your foe.

I always wished the best of you,
and you were the best person in my view,
but the things never went our way,
and that is why i want to say.

That you should be friend with some other person,
so that the thing don't get much worsen,
and that is why i will always be saying,
that i am a friend you will regret having.

The flowing tears.

During the dark,
sitting in the park,
performing the silent prayer,
asking the lord for much more care,
i saw drops of water in motion,
and called them into question,
"Who art thou and why dost thou flow?"
"We art tears,
and we cometh hither to maketh thou hear,
that thou can get us shed, whence thy loving ones maketh thou sad",
the drops of water in motion said.
Replied I, "why should i groan,
whence my loved ones art the reason for my moan,
there is no reason why i should lament,
if they art unable to return sentiment 'gainst my sentiment,
they don't deserves these tears,
if they don't hold me dear.
And if i am dear to them,
as they art to me,
they won't bring into being,
the things that will cause me suffering,
and if their actions maketh me weep,
it is because the good wherein i am unable to see,
so i ask thou why shalt i shed tears,
as the ones who hold me dear,
will feel very bad,
seeing me all sad."
Tears said, "from the aforementioned,
i cometh to a conclusion,
that tears art all vain,
as nothing from it that thou can gain."

Being on the grass,
beside my loved one's carcass,
sitting on the ground,
making spiritual sound,
asking the lord for his salvation,
i saw drops of water in motion,
and questioned, "Who art thou and why dost thou flow?"
They said, "We art tears,
and we cometh hither to maketh thou hear,
that thou can get us shed,
whence thy loving ones art dead."
Replied I, "why should i yammer,
when my loved one hast goneth to meet thy maker,
instead i should cheer,
as the one whom we hold dear,
is forsaken from all the worldly pain,
and is free to play his own game,
being able to fly high above in the skies,
far away from all the worldly cries,
and if from above he doth see me sad,
i know for sure that he will feel bad,
for him i should always wear a cheer,
as for him this is the burden i should always bear."
Tears said, "from the aforementioned,
i cometh to a conclusion,
that tears art all vain,
as it cause nothing but great pain."

I wish you enough « Paulo Coelho's Blog


Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.
Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the father said, ‘I love you, and I wish you enough.’

They kissed and the daughter left. The father walked over to the window where I was seated. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but I could not refrain from asking:
‘When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.’ May I ask what that means?’

He began to smile. ‘That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.’
He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and he smiled even more.
‘When we said, ‘I wish you enough,’ we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.’
Then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more..

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting…

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good- bye.

A swift transition from a Vegetarian to a Vegan!!

There is nothing in our life called bad times. Its only a perception. Only good time & better time exist. The time which we consider bad time are actually better time of our life. Bad time are the best teacher we can ever have, they teach us the thing that nobody can ever teach us. So its up to us whether we perceive it as bad time & waste our life thinking why we had it or as better time and learn something out of it. A similar such event happened with me which made me think in a new light. Bad times are not necessary the times in which any bad happens to us but are also the ones in which we do something bad upon others intentionally or unintentionally.
Till the end on 2009, i used to be a Vegetarian and was in vain that i do not inflict any harm on others, but one fine day while i was discussing the ill-effects of a non-vegetarian diet with a non-vegetarian friend of mine, i realized that there is an element of "bad" in vegetarian diet also. I visited the dairy farm the following day and saw how we use/harass/torture the cattle animals in order to get dairy product out of them. Being an animal lover, it completely shattered me and i decided to go Vegan.
But this decision of mine which i recently had taken was something which was not "kids stuff" for me as i belong to a society where, unfortunately, after a brief history of non-violence, people where turning violent by adopting a diet that involves harm to others. Further, being a person who completely loved milk product and who "literally" used to survive completely on lacto diet, consuming nothing other than at least 1.5 Lt. of lacto product on a daily basis, Veganism was some thing really hard for me but the thing that kept me going was the consideration that how can i harm the source of the thing i love completely.
Being a part of a society where Cows are respected as much as our mothers are and where the milk products are considered holy and where it is an integral part of religious ceremony, excluding it from my life was difficult. People here are of the view that cows are like our mother. If it is so then i ask them to visit the dairy farm and see for themselves how these "mothers" are treated, how they are chained, made to stand in their own feces, injected with oxotocin so that they can milk more, and are made to bear many other inhuman treatment (check PETA India site or a blog by a Vegan for more detail, as i am not feeling it right to discuss here now about the things of which you don't even considers checking morality, maybe some next time) which, if you truly love your mother, won't ever want to happen to her. So how can we tag a cow as a mother if we continue to treat her like that or how can we do all this stuff if we respect her as a mother?
Now, they say cow is divine, if it is so, then how can we make her bear so much pain that we inflict on her in order to get some milk, or if we inflict so much pain on her how can we call her divine? I don't know whether she is like a mother or divine, all i know is that she don't deserve the wrong that happens to her.
People also talk about the implication of Veganism on health raising the question that from where would i be getting all the required nutrients and vitamins, highlighting the rumor that Vegan are pale and weak. Well, to this i can say that its a complete lie that Vegans are weak because i have been a Vegan now for almost one whole year and i am happy to say that by managing the diet properly, including all necessary minerals and vitamin Vegan source in my diet, i am much healthier in addition to being much happier than i was when i was a Vegetarian.
So, i will like to end this with saying that you don't deserve the wrong you do, so Go Vegan!!

My sayings, a collection.

~Smile is not always a symbol of happiness, sometimes it is used to hide our greatest sorrow.

~Love is the best source of energy until you are engaged ;)

~And they says that USA is the most powerful nation, yes of course it is, which other country passes a law which saves the necks of those who violates humanitarian values and prosecute those who tries to save them? Which other country passes Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act? All hail "superpower" USA for such a cowardly act .

~Bad times are not necessary the times in which any bad happens to us but are also the ones in which we do something bad upon others intentionally or unintentionally.

~You don't deserve the wrong you do, Go Vegan!!

~Everything has a reason, everything has its time!!

~We make only one, two or at most three friends in our whole life, rest all are only contacts, either good or bad.

~Smile, and the world will smile with you.

~Powers are not always a blessing, sometimes it become our greatest curse.

~The day we are born, v bring a smile on the face of our family. As v grow up, v meet new people who feel happy in our presence & r those whom v call friends. These friends r always with us and their happiness make us even more happy and their wishes brighten our day however dull it might be.

~Merry Christmas fellow good souls. On this day when a star came down to Earth from Heaven, to brighten and nurture this dull and barren land of Earth and heart of people living on it, lets do something that will make his visit to Earth fruitful. Fill the life of every living being around you with smile and happiness. Merry Christmas!!

~Thirty years back, people used to think that the Vegans are someone from Vegas, but things are changing now, now they know that Vegans are someone with heart, heart that loves and cares for all!!

~Don't get disheartened by bad times. It provides you with the golden opportunity to find out who among the person around you are your well-wisher and who are not!! Be yourself and live life to the fullest!!

~Most people have 1000 wishes for Christmas, an animal in the slaughter house only has one, to survive the human torture and greed. In honor of all those animals who died in order to fulfill human greed and pleasure or will be slaughtered for the same, Go Vegan!

~Fear is our greatest enemy. Our fear forbids us from doing what we should do and make us do what we shouldn't. But in fear, we forgets that the cause of that fear cannot do us much harm than that fear itself. The only thing fear is afraid of is faith. Have faith in yourself, defeat your fear and achieve big!!

~This thanksgiving do something that others will be thankful to you. This thanksgiving, Go Vegan and thank God that he gave you opportunity to be good. This thanksgiving, Go Vegan and give those poor animal a chance to thank God for saving them from torture that would have been inflicted upon them if you wouldn't have been a Vegan. Happy Thanksgiving!!

~When you stand up for something good, you make more enemies than friend. But these few friend are our true friends and will be with us whenever we need them. A single friend like these are worth thousand enemies. Likewise, when we go vegan, we may stand against whole human race, but by doing so, we save an animal's life who becomes our great friend and who will be with us, no matter what. So Go Vegan!!

~We cannot love ourselves until and unless we love others.

~We should always avoid two kinds of persons. The one who is comfortable with evil & the one who is afraid of standing against evil. For the 1st one will be comfortable even when something evil happen to you & the 2nd one will let evil happen to you as that person wont have courage to speak against it. So always be with & be yourself the 3rd kind of person who stand against the evil even if it means standing alone.

~When you are alone and nobody wants to be with you, when you are down and nobody is there to pick you up, don't be sad and don't think that you are bad. Its not that they think you are bad, it's not that they deserve somebody better. It's only because they want the best person in the world to be with you, they want you yourself to be with you. Loneliness is not a curse but is a divine opportunity to be with you. Don't be sad, but live your life to the fullest.

~There is nothing in which a bird differ more from a man other than the way in which the later treat and harass the living being weaker than him. Choose compassion over torture on animals and other living entity.

~Knowledge is great power. We should always strive for knowledge. The moment we take a break from our quest for knowledge, we are as good as dead. Even a whole life seems too small in our quest for knowledge. Nothing can satisfy us other than knowledge. And through knowledge, we shall evolve into a happy, better & compassionate being working for wellbeing of every living being irrespective of their species, gender & religion.

~A person is defined by the kind of war he fights for others, a war against evil inside and outside of him, for other's happiness and wellbeing. This is what differentiate a real man from other as everyone fight their own war but only a true man fights for other.

~Fine, if harassing/torturing/enslaving/killing others makes you happy, i wont utter a single word as u are my friend and i want you happy by all mean. But i pray to God that the same do not happens to u, but anyhow if it happens, then i wont be left in any position to stop it from happening, as i don't think that person/thing will listen to me as u are not listening to me. Go Vegan as it is morally right thing to do.

~Kalmadi and Co. has surely let us down. But we can't let our bureaucrats put the nation to shame. Attend CWG in huge numbers and make it a great success and show them that we Indians are not dependent on them for the pride of our great Nation. Start "Stadium Bharo Andolan" and lets show them that they can't roam freely after putting the pride of nation at stake.

~Untill and unless one respect all the lifeforms irrespect of their species, caste, creed, colour, tribe, religion and gender, one cannot respect the lord in front of whom the person bow their head.

~I don't believe in God because of whom i am supposed to hate and discriminate, nor do I believe in God for whom I am supposed to kill and do injustice. Rather, I have faith in the heart of man which love, care and do justice to every living entity without any discrimination and teaches me to do the same. That is where I find the traces of my lord, and that is the place where I bow down my head and pray.

~What kind of person we are depends on wat kind of surrounding we live in. Our surrounding is made by our friends, who always be with us. People say that i am good, which was obvious, bcoz i have such a great & caring friends who makes me a better person. I thank my friend for being with me & making me what i am today. Life would have been very difficult without u guys. Thanks for being my friend. Happy Friendship day.

~Beauty lies in the character not on the face.

~Anyone who can do harm to gentle, harmless and innocent animals, can also do harm to us. Beware of them. Go Vegan.

~The people who find luxury in hard work and happiness in other's happiness are the people to idolize.

~Sometime in our life, we fall in love and say "I Love You". But do we actually mean it? Because we have lost the heart that used to love and care for every single living being. Love is such a great thing that until and unless we love everyone and care for them, we can't love anyone. Go Green and Go Vegan and prove you love.

~The feeling that i might not have the powers to do others any good makes me sad, but i am happy that at least i have the courage that forbids me to do them any wrong.

~ Do nothing but the good, speak nothing but the truth. Take nothing but other's sorrow, give nothing but your's smile.

~ If i am beautiful, its only because beauty exist in your mind and you are able to contemplate it. If i am ugly, its only because i have lost that smile which used to make my face beautiful upon seeing you happy and smiling!!

~ Truth will piss you off, but eventually it will set you free!!

~ "Global Warming" might be a myth but "Global Warning" is not. Earth is your, take care of it or loose it!!

~ Harming innocent and weak is not the most courageous thing to do in the whole world, anyone can do that, but to protect them and to work for their happiness even when you are sad is indeed the courageous and greatest of all deeds.

~ I rather prefer my actions to speak for me than my words!!

~ I hate my parents for not teaching me to eat someone if it doesn't belongs to my species, kill someone if he doesn't belong to my religion, abuse someone if he dosen't belong to my nation and harass someone if that person isn't of same gender as of mine but am really grateful to them for teaching me to love and respect every single living entity and care for them as we all belongs to one great family of all mighty God.

~ I m a vegetarian.. i believe that no innocent creature should be harmed irrespective of his species, gender, caste, color or religion.. I believe if it is wrong to harm me or any of my friends then it is wrong to harm any other animal also..
Further, Jesus has said: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." now when we love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, we grow to recognize that everyone, even animals and trees are part of His creation. So by harming animals and trees, we are doing wrong to the Lord.

~ If killing a human is a grievous crime then why isn't killing an animal a crime? Both the species have life and both deserves to live a peaceful and respectful life.

~I pity those poor souls who think they can do any wrong to India. I request my friends to teach some history of Alexander "the great", Genghis Khan and many others to them so that they can learn that no one can fulfill their dream of destroying this great country.

~ There is no honor in the whole world bigger than representing your nation and winning for it.

~ What is the similarity between a terrorist and a non-vegetarian? Both kill others to fill their stomach. But i think terrorist are better than non-vegetarian since they do proclaim that they kill others to get some money for buying some food as they can't work hard. But unfortunately, non-vegetarian think they dont do any wrong by killing those innocent creature whom they kill just to give a treat to their taste buds.

~ I am not turning into anything.. i m happy with whatever i am.. its just that i respect all religion and go through the texts that can make me a better and peaceful person as an whole!!

~ Carnivorous were genetically engineered by the mighty Lord to eat other and unfortunately they don't have the "Constructive" powers as humans do to grow some food for themselves. So we can't blame them.
Further, Carnivorous were created by the mighty Lord to create a ecological balance and to put a check to the population of certain group of species.
I don't believe that humans are intellectually better than other species, but human were granted with constructive power so that there can be peace and harmony among all the creatures, but to the contrary, human misused their power for nothing more than utter destruction of others as well as themselves.

~ I am a Vegetarian. I can proudly say that I don't kill other to give a treat to my taste buds and that i have a heart that cares for other.

~ We should always forgive people and love them for who they are, no matter how wrong they do to us because sometimes we can't understand the motive behinds ones deed, whether it is for our good or not. We always abuse friction for slowing us down and eating up our energy but have we ever wonder that if there weren't any friction, then how would we have been able to start up our motion in the first place.

~People says that humans are social animal. I say humans are neither social nor animals. The manner in which they treat other species, the destruction they cause, even the way they treat their fellow humans, they can't be social. Animals might be cruel but they are kinder in comparison with humans. Humans are blood-sucker. So it won't be polite to call human an "animal" as is will be equal to abusing animals.

~With great powers, comes great responsibilities; with great responsibilities, comes greater enemies; and with greater enemies, comes greatest death. Long live those who die for others.

~People says that when we loose loneliness, we get everything, but I say that when we loose loneliness, we loose the greatest part of ourselves.

~Loneliness is our greatest friend. Its stays with us, no matter what condition are we in, it never gets hurt, no matter what we says to it, it teaches us great things in our life, and unlike attachments, never hurts us ever in our life. I am sorry my dear friend "Loneliness", for drifting so far from you. I promise, i will be yours for the rest of my life!!

~Show respect to every creature, even the fools because who knows when the mighty God will shower his blessing upon that creature making him so powerful that it will make you his slave just like "Humans" are making other species a slave, after they evolved from being a fool to all powerful with the blessings of mighty God!!

~You say that i don't speak much, but i speak in silence because i believe that silence can convey what words cannot, you say that i don't listen to you, but i try to listen your heartbeats because i fear that you won't be able to speak what your heart want to speak.

~If a tiger kills one person to feed himself, everyone in that person's society wants that tiger to be dead. But if that person kills entire group of animal for his greed or to feed himself even if he has access to a vegan food, no one demands for the death of that person. I fail to understand the enormously large difference in the life of human and other species.

~You think i hate you?!?! Have you lost your mind? How dare you think like that? You are my life!!! And you don't know how much i hate my life!!! ;)

~There is nothing in our life called bad times. Its only a perception. Only good time & better time exist. The time which we consider bad time are actually better time of our life. Bad time are the best teacher we can ever have, they teach us the thing that nobody can ever teach us. So its up to us whether we perceive it as bad time & waste your life thinking why we had it or as better time and learn something from it.

~Some time in life it doesn't matter how much bank balance we have, how many people know us or how successful we are, the only thing that matters is that our friends and family saying "don't worry, we are with you". Stop worrying about what you don't have but start caring about what you have. Friends are the best gift anyone can ever have.

~Accident is the most important thing in a boys life.. and thank god i had a great one!!! :)

~Start smoking and drinking as much as you can. All we want at present is the decrease in human popullation, and by smoking, you can contribute greatly to the cause.

~Hmm.. Can i ask for a big favor from you.. i would ask u to buy as many shocks as you can.. bcoz Santa Clause came to me prev night and asked me what i wanted and i asked him to take bags full of happiness yo ur home and fill ur shocks with it so that u don't fall short of happiness ever in your life.. So i am giving u ample amount of time so that u can buy as many shocks as u can and store great deal of happiness.

~When Mercury himself can object the rise in mercury level, he fails to understand what is troubling our "GREAT" leaders to take some action and stop mercury from rising. Save the deal from collapsing, its for our home, its for our Earth.

~If you think that you are the most courageous man in the whole world and that no one can scare you, the try siting on my bike when i ride it, i will scare the hell out of you.. :)

~If one is unhappy to see the distress of other living beings and happy to see their happiness, his religious principles are appreciated as imperishable by exalted persons who are considered pious and benevolent.

~Relativity: When you are unprepared for your exams and want to study, an hour flows like a second and you end up being unprepared. When you enjoy with your friends the whole semester before the exams a second flows like an hour and you end up wasting all time. My semesters are from tomorrow and now only God can save me!!

~Never wait to say someone what you really want to say because sometimes you can't say something while that person is there but sometimes that person won't be there when you find some courage to speak yourself. So speak your heart out when you get a chance. I can't miss my chance of thanking you for being my friend!!

~NO feeling in the world is greater than the one you experience while lying on a cricket ground after working hard hitting "bails" with cricket ball!!!

~Don't be Harsh (English) to anyone but be the cause of Harsh (Hindi) of everyone!!!

~By killing one human, you can save 99 other creatures from dying! So by finishing the whole human race and you will be able to save other 99 species from extinction. What a highly profitable deal!!

~I thinks that no one other than OBAMA deserved to win NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!!! He is the one who allowed his nations space agency to BOMBARD MOON (one of the most PEACEFUL thing to do). This reminded me of the caption written on one of my T-Shirt, " I will KILL for a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE".

~See the power of Cricket... It had made Indian cheer for Pak!!! ♥ ♥

~The only problem in working in research field is that it has only two outcome. Either you will provide a Breakthrough or you will end Breaking your fag end into two. ;)

~People says that i drive fast. They are jealous and lie. How on earth can i drive fast, my wheels are on fire. I don't drive, I fly!!

~I am suffering from Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and so did Thomas Edison. He had 1100 patents and i will 2100.

~Kill me Or Kill yourself.. and save the world!!!!

~Pagal Para (Mad Mercury)!!!!!!

~If you want to win a test series, break Ricky ponting's face. In 2005, steve harminson broke ricky's face and england won ashes, this time also, ricky's jaw is broken and england is on the verge of winning!!!!

~Friendship is the best thing that can happen in ones life and i am very lucky to have friends like you. Happy friendship day!!!

~Harshad Gupta is busy courting Physics, running behind Mechanics, spending nights with Black Holes and days with White dwarfs. I am unable to find anyone hotter than Thermodynamics and more beautiful than Optics. Gravity is trying to attract me and yet i am too busy trying to create Free-energy. !!Life is Great!! ;)

Forgiveness, The virtue of the brave


"Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting." ~ William Arthur Ward


In our life, we often come around people who do us some good and quite often around some who do us the opposite. We are grateful to the first but hold resentment against the later. I have seen many a times that people feels it hard to forgive others. I tried to find what people thinks about forgiveness. It was astonishing to see that people believes that one should forgive the wrong doer only because nothing can offend him more than the act of forgiveness. I was not quite convinced with it so I thought of discussing the matter with two of my great friends, physics and philosophy. I ranged them up and made up a plan to meet them one good sunny afternoon.
I first discussed the matter with Physics to which she said that, "We should always forgive people and love them for who they are, no matter how wrong they do to us because sometimes we can't understand the motive behinds ones deed, whether it is for our good or not."
Physics is difficult to understand and so is the thing she says. I was not quite able to understand what she said as I was of the mindset that the motive behind anyone doing someone wrong is always wrong, to which she contradicted and said, "We always abuse friction for slowing us down and eating up our energy but have we ever wonder that if there weren't any friction, then how would we have been able to start up our motion in the first place."
To this I asked her that this might be the reason but why don't friction changes its form so the next time we interact with it while we being in our motion, it do not slow us down. She said that, "Every thing in the world has its limitation, and so do friction. Friction knows its limitation and also knows that after playing a role in starting our motion, it also have to play a role in stopping us when we need to stop. As friction knows that it cannot change itself spontaneously from a non-opposing force to an opposing force, it remains constant and oppose our motion, so that we don't exceed our limit in addition to getting stopped safely at the point where we need to stop. As we have discussed earlier that every thing has an element of good in it, its just that we are unable to see that good in it, likewise, friction also interact with us, with best of the interest of us from the bottom of its heart and so do other, its just that we are not unable to understand them." This statement of her was quite convincing but i was not fully satisfied so i started discussing it with philosophy.
Philosophy said that there are only two kinds of people in this world, the one whom you care for and the one whom you don't. If anyone hurts you then he must be belonging to one of the above mentioned categories. If the one who hurt you is the one you care for, then you should forgive him as you want him to be happy and his action should not offend you as much as his happiness should please you. But if the one who hurt you is the one you don't care about, then there are many consideration that we should think about before making a mind of not forgiving him. These are, why should the actions of the that person effect you as they hold no importance in your life, why should the wrong doing on anyone make you do the same by hating him and why should you not forgive that person, change him for the good as you are the one who will be on the loosing side if that person don't change.
Further, we should also consider forgiving people because no one is perfect in this world and the action of that person might be the outcome of the miseries that the person might be undergoing. By holding resentment against that person, you might increase the pain inside him which might make him hurt you more in the future and forgiving him might help him clam down. And after all, its you who is good and not the other one so you should always do good. Further, Plato has once said, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

In the end, i would like to recall what Thomas Fuller has said, "He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven."

Always forgive others as it is no one other than you who deserve the peace and harmony and try not to hurt others.
