Time to act

After reading several articles on the disputed concept of 2012, the end of the world, and watching hundreds of videos on You Tube, I finally decided to write about it.

Many contemporary scientists and astrologers have written books on 2012, and they have different opinions and ideas regarding it. Some believe that the world will come to an end in the year 2012 because of a mysterious supernova, natural disasters and polar shift while others discard it.

As there are always two sides of the coin, I believe that we should listen to different opinions coming from different sides and experts.

The idea of ‘polar shift’ was first suggested by Albert Einstein in 1955. Recent studies have suggested that ‘polar shift’ has happened in the past, and is likely to occur in coming days. If that happens, the entire earth will change its position with rocking earthquakes and rising tsunami flood and natural catastrophe. On a similar account, many astronomers have predicted that, the earth will be in exact alignment to the sun and the centre of the Milky Way galaxy in Dec. 21, 2012. They say that such event called as ‘galactic alignment’ occurs only once in every 25,800 years. No one can exactly predict the effect of such alignment on earth. But they believe that it will be disastrous. Similarly, many astronomers believe on ‘Mayan Calendar’ which predicts the end of time coming during the same date.

The world has evolved from Stone Age to agricultural, and has gradually moved towards industrial age and now it has reached to the technological. Despite the technological advancements we have, we still do not have a control over nature.

None of the above discussed predictions can be asserted as true or false. However, it would not be wrong to state that the world is currently facing several problems — both natural and human induced — which may be suggesting that ‘something huge’ is coming on our ways. Take for example, Haiti earthquake disaster, which killed almost 300,000 people. There is another recent incident of Chile, where around 700 people were killed by earthquake, tsunami and floods. Similarly, people in the Western Europe are reportedly facing a tough time with winter and snow. So, where is all this leading to?

Million dollar question to ask is: What are we doing? Is there nothing that we can do to prevent it from coming? The world leaders are after their own national agendas and interests. Sadly enough, they could not come together to the conclusion in the recently concluded Copenhagen conference on climate change. It seems that the money matters to us more than human lives and the earth. If the same pattern continues where climate change issues are ignored, mass killings are rampant, and religious and racial wars are raged, the earth will definitely be (or already is) in danger, as the proponents of 2012 concept believe and tell us.

She walks in beauty

She walks in beauty

The way she walks, like a rain dear in the night
Of smiling cloud up above the Finnish Sky
Gentleness surrounds with her movement
Dwindling across the waves in an ocean
Peaceful serenity around
The smile ever wins, the days which glows
A beautiful mind in peace shows
Without any sorrows
A heart full of love
So innocent and shyness all around
She walks in beauty
Like a rain dear
Down below the heart of Finnish Sky

My Country Awake

Where the mind is without fear and the head held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening thought and action;
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.


by Rabindranath Tagore

The Blind

I wish
I was blind
I would never have
Seen you, then!
My sweet beautiful
Angel or sunshine

Why are you going away?
From this life or,
Why am I killing my own life?

I wish
I was blind
No lust, no emotion
No feelings
Would have aroused,
In this unfarmed land.

Only those who seek me,
Would have known me
Only those who truly love me,
Would have loved me back

But I know, nobody loves
The blind

Sweet beloved

Oh dear soul,
Why do you worry?
Your heart
Is flooded with love
You need
A beautiful vessel
To preserve
Come on,
Hold on and don’t grieve
Your heart
Is filled with cosmic
Energy
You are floating around
This breeze!
Of love, of your sweet beloved

My Love

It was not my lips that you kissed but my heart,

It was not my heart that you broke but my life.

It was not the life that I ever wanted

But I have to live it, anyways, my love.

The smoke of fumes and shyness of red rose.

I will die one more time, just to see you, my love.

Happy or sad, I will always remain as yours, my love.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you all!

Ready for love

The Valentine's Day also called as St. Valentine's Day is the day when lovers express their love. To my utmost surprise, I am little confused, how am I going to celebrate this special day? As commonly said, “I am single ready to mingle”.

I am poor and lonely who do not have any girl friend or wife. That is not the whole part of the story.  Do you know that I am not even famous since Wikipedia under my name defines the biography as, “This article may not meet the general notability guideline?” I know I am not famous and I do not want to, maybe that is one reason why I am still single.

Under extreme condition of cold windy winter of Finland, I am sitting on my couch and thinking: “What should I do during Valentine's Day?” Suddenly 'somebody inside me' suggests that I should call all my friends and relatives around the world and express them my gratitude for being part of me. But on the contrary, other half of the 'very somebody inside me' suggests that I should find someone beautiful just to love me.

Sometimes, I hear the voices inside me saying, “Your days are coming soon, so love yourself more each passing day.”  However, my idiotic mind is against that very someone inside me and rather it suggests me to go drinking whiskey or smoking cigarette or to visit red, blue or white streets.

Most of the times, it seems that one always falls prey of the mind and do not listen to the voices that come from deep inside.  However, whatever be the reason, I am still thinking how would I spend my valentine's day?

Once, one beautiful angel used to love me, but she gave up the “so called” relationship on the Valentine's Day, simply because I did not belong to her “caste”. Then couple of years later, another girl found me interesting, and it was again on the same Day, I was dumped by her. Poor Me!

After these sad experiences, it is no surprise that, Valentine's Day has become an important day to me. You see, I keep on losing love. On every new Valentine's Day, my heart is broken and I have to suffer extremely.

This valentine's day, I do not want to suffer. I will not start a new relationship since relationships are meant to be broken. I will not visit any red, blue or white streets either, since those streets do not have my name written on them. I will not drink or smoke to rectify my feelings. Above all, I will just be alone.

Some wise man has said, “Aloneness is the first lesson of love.” Maybe, I should learn from my mistakes and rather be alone. I had my heart broken into pieces but now I would like to mend them and put them back where it belongs, once again, on this Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day!

Feel the Sunlight!

******************************************
Feel the Sunlight!
******************************************

I lost her, I found her.
I lost her again, but never found her.
In loosing and gaining,
I think, “love is raining.”

From high above, an angel sings:
Love me tenderly, just love me till the very end.

From low below, a lonely lover sings:
I don’t know what is love, how can I love?

No match found.

Cloud all over the sky.

Nothing is seen above or behind.

Time passes by, lover is awake.

What a joy is to feel alive!

A newly born baby kissing her mother’s breast.
An old man singing alone nearby the lonely street.
A writer finding treasures on his own territory.

These words may not rhyme

But

Romance kisses these fresh limes.

Good luck and feel the sun light.

God bless you all !

Mr. Mad Man

Once upon a time there was very young handsome man. He was handsome but everybody called him, “Mad”.  He had lot of sentiments and emotion. One night, he was sitting on the top of the terrace, he was very lonely and he asked, “God, Why am I here?” God did not reply anything to him. He felt very sad. Later after few years, he completed his studies and started to search for jobs. He asked again to god, “God, why I don’t get job?” Again, God did not say anything. Later after few years, he felt in love with a beautiful young girl. But after few years, girl left him. He was again sad and asked god, “God, what did I do wrong that she left me?” This time also God did not said anything.

Few years passed and he started to realize that there is no God. He started to write against God. In one of his book he wrote, “God is Dog and Dog is God.” Those people who liked God hated him but those who do not like god, loved him.

One day he heard the news that the girl who left him all alone got married and has a kid. He started to buy new toys and gifts for the kid. Since he has lot of emotions attached to him, he could not stop doing that. Eventually, he had lot of toys and gifts of the kid. He tried a lot to meet the girl but girl always refused.

Everybody started to make fun of him and in the town where he lived, people said, “This guy is mad, he is so sick.” He didn’t felt anything of anyone what they were saying to him.

One day while he was sleeping. Some strange but very lovely lady came to him. He asked, “Who are you?” She said, “I am no one and I don’t have any name.” The handsome man then replied, “Why are you here?” She said, “I want to take you to the place where God is, you wanted to talk with him, don’t you?” He said, “Yes, I wanna!”

The beautiful lady and the handsome guy went to meet the God.

Finally, he met God and asked, “Why did you call me?” God replied, “I didn’t call you, you were calling me so many times, I am sorry handsome man but every individual on earth has to suffer simply because we sent them to learn some lessons.”

God continued…

“Well, but don’t worry, I know that you have lost love, you have lost job, you have lost so many things, but now I have special gift for you.”

Handsome man said, “Wow, what is it?”

God said, “It is all those things that you lost in Earth. Do you want them back?”

Handsome man paused for a while and started to think ….

Finally he said, “No, I don’t want anything that I have lost because all those things were my lessons to be learned out of “so called life.”

Next morning, handsome man was found dead in his bed. All of his friends, relative and strangers took him to grave. They buried him and on his tombstone it reads,

Mr. Mad man

1600-1672 AD

Visa suspension

The temporary suspension of applications for tier 4 student visas to Britain can be seen both in good as well as bad light (“Hard lesson,” Feb. 2, Page 6). It is good considering the extreme difficulties those who went to Britain under this system are now facing — in terms of adaptability, culture, socio-economics. For those eager to study in Britain under the “easy” 4 tier system, let them be in no illusion, it is anything but easy out there. 

At the same time, the abrupt halt in student visas is unjustifiable for if the “British concerns are genuine,” as you impute in your editorial, the UK authorities should have thought about the repercussions of the lax visa policy before its implementation. This policy smacks of British colonialism where the White folks assume they know what’s best for the rest of the world.

Quotes and Poem

Dear all,

-There is no true or false love, there is only love.

-The true and false are very subjective evaluation of most important feeling human would ever have: Love.

-Love is not bold or bald. Love is the true essence of human nature. The way he/she/it behaves, the way of an act, the way of deep feelings for objects or subjects so on and so forth.

-True itself is not true. False was never false. We evaluated them and put them into two baskets. One was evil and other was god.

-May love find you, may love be into you, may love bring you joy to dance with the wind of change, may love be in each of us, may love bring peace on earth, may love be only shrines, even at devil's workshop, may love find you, my love.

God bless you all !

**********************************************
Love you
**********************************************

I will love you if you will love me.
or, even if you will hate me.

They didn't teach me the word, "hate";
They send me to love someone,
who looks like me, instead.

I am the energy which moves with you.

I am you and you are in me.

We became friends, here or anywhere.
We were friends long time before thee;

The Selection was already made.

They say, "Everything is fair in love and war";

Yes, "Everything is fair in Friendship and Hate";

So, the love can be part of friendship and,

The War can be part of hate;

whatever it be, let it be for the same.

Please do not forget, to love this day.

This day, I am with you;

and, forever, I will be with you, always.


The calendar says, "its a last day of 2009";

So, let me take an opportunity to bless,

you all divines.

Let me stand on the soldier of giant,

and say, "Happy New Year",

For prosperous and peaceful life, ahead.

God blesses you !

Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010

Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010
--------------------------------------------------



It was the time of Economy Crisis,
Although designated as International year of astronomy,
And International year of natural fibers;
Nothing exceptional happened but chaos that:
End of the world in 2012.
My poor willing heart asks-
Why are we studying ET or Astronomy, when;
There are millions of problems, yet to be solved or resolved;
Yet to be discovered or covered;
Yet to find any solution;
In our poor planet Earth;

On Jan 20, Barack Hussein Obama was inaugurated as 44th president,
After six days, Icelandic government and banking system collapsed.
What a way to start presidency, later October 9, 2009,
They awarded him, Noble Peace Prize!
May be for- Safety and Security of People,
Sending 40 thousand+ troops to Afghanistan,
And playing Hide and Seek with Osama bin Laden.

A natural disaster started:
The deadliest bushfire in Australia killing hundreds of men and women,
Around 6.3 magnitude earthquake strikes near Italy killing hundreds of lives,
Another 7.6 magnitude earthquake strikes killing thousand lives in Indonesia.

But come on people, this is the 21st century, where we follow the principal,
Which says, Who cares?

Until and unless, our rooftops will burn,
We will not care the world which mourns.

During June, came our friend, Mr. Swine Flu;
Was declared as Global pandemic by WHO,
King of Pop, Michael was dead, a sad disaster.
For many who loved him and his music
Dangerous, Thriller album & others

Few flights crashed, still nobody has clear explanations.
Was it a politics, or, passion? Only, God know!
Or, maybe, some claims, God is delusion!

But still the astronomers were exploring more planets,
Called, Extra solar planets, outside the planet Earth;

Sorry, poor Earth, your people do not care much about you.
You see, they are interested more outside you.

Lot of others things happened, but remember our motto-
Who cares? remained.
So, let us welcome 2010, a new change,
Of digit, of calendar, of names, of fames, of subject,
Of study, of poor and rich countries,
Of life and death, of disaster and pain,

Of fights between good vs. evil, of terrorism and extremism,
Of heroism and many ism;

A poor soul somewhere from the planet earth
Opens his window and looks outside,
Speaks to Extra Terrestrial Stars in other planet
And says, Hello 2010;

3 + 1 IDOTS

“सारि उम्र हम मर मर के जिलिये, एक पल तो हम को जिने दो”

3 young souls, traveled an adventurous journey
Trek through the mountains, trek through tough journey
Oh, I am so sorry, one critic’s soul joined
This very long journey

On dated 25th December, we so called idiots
Took huge steps, jumped into Finnish lake
Home made, old traditional theater
Was shining, our technological innovation

We left everything besides
No more stress, anxiety, ego, hatred
Of any kind
As it has been said, “all is well”

3+1 young soul’s heart
Fully entertained, almost three hour journey of
Life in vision of past, present or future
The art was spectacular, it just went so faster

Before anything could be said or heard
Our three hours of adventures journey came to no end
Life is all about listening to heart, as wise man said
Nobody knows unknown future ahead
But the memories we shared
Might be of smaller instant
But it was a courageous act

One sad heart of idiot soul said,
“We may no longer reverse engineer those moments
But the wishes, hope and good fortune to rest of all souls”

Friendship helps, the place so lonely
And cold frustrating weather
Makes easily souls depressed

As it has been said in the art,
“Education should be for excellence”
All young 3+1 idiots, laughed a lot

“सारि उम्र हम मर मर के जिलिये, एक पल तो हम को जिने दो”

Merry Christmas Friends !

"Dashing thro’ the snow,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O’er the hills we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
Oh what sport to ride and sing
A sleighing song to night.
Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago,
I thought I’d take a ride,
And soon Miss Fannie Bright
Was seated by my side,
The horse was lean and lank;
Misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank,
And we, we got upsot.
A day or two ago,
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white
Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls to night
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob tailed bay
Two forty as his speed.
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack, you’ll take the lead."

Opportunity Vs. Losses

Dear all,

I was just thinking past few days that life is all about making choices.

On one hand we have opportunity and on the other hand we have losses. If the losses are more than the opportunity than the human can feel sad, depressed and many more. If the opportunity is more than the losses than human will feel joy, pleased, overwhelmed and many more.

But

What if the human has to decide between opportunity and losses?

Why is then it becomes important that one has to listen to heart instead of mind and make decisions.

The answer is very simple,

Because Heart is never wrong. It takes us in the path of destiny.

So,

I am here now deciding between opportunity and losses, little confused, tired and frustrated.

Should I choose to give up something for something more important?

This literally means, who is right- Mr. Heart or Mr. Mind?

Maybe, Mr. Mind is thinking short term but Mr. Heart always thinks long term. So, the answer is Mr. Heart is always right.

I do not know much about the dreams so I ain’t got any answer to that. It is very obvious that “why” is rather very unimportant question if you are in the path of your dreams.

Let me give you few additional lines to rejoice-

-Life is all about making choices: important vs. very important.

-Dreams are deep visions just like a depth of lover’s love in search for his/her love.

-The question is never asked by Mr. Heart or Ms. Heart, the question is asked only by Mr. Mind or Ms. Mind

-Who is right and who is wrong, let us not decide that in search of dreams, my lord
Love is the sound of music in heart
let us be solid like rock
untouched and unmoved by any extreme difficulties
as the dreamer we are, dream is we

-As Christmas is coming, wish your dreams will be running along the stream of river, life is simply like flowing river and may your opportunities exceed losses in the life full of hope.

God bless you all !

Wake up, wake up

She was sleeping beside me
It was cold winter morning
She woke up stretching her body
She looked into my eyes
And said, “A very good morning”
I smiled back to her
She thought, “Am I looking funny?”
I said, “Beauty is the funniest thing, my love”
She smiled back
I kissed her on her forehead
She showed the respect
Finally she said,” Let me go and make you tea”
I said, “Why are you in hurry?”
“It is Saturday, my honey”
Her shy smile
Made me realize
I was dreaming in day light
An alarm clock sounded,
“Wake up, wake up…..”
