The CHANGE as we see it.

“

For nature beats in perfect tune,
And rounds with rhyme her every rune,
Whether she work in land or sea,
Or hide underground her alchemy.
Thou canst not wave thy staff in air,
Or dip thy paddle in the lake,
But it carves the bow of beauty there,
And the ripples in rhymes the oar forsake.  - Ralph Waldo Emerson. (Woonotes)

You were born together, and together you shall be forever more.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. - Khalil Gibran (Prophet)

”

 

Its strange, isnt it. Life is about moments.

One moment there is nothing, as if there is bright sun shining in the sky, soft breeze blowing across the lush green garden grass, grasshoppers playing around while the cuckoos coo and the pigeons flutter, while the squirrels run about gathering nuts and the butterfly flies with its wings flapping profusely, immaculately in the rhythm of nature.

The other moment, that very butterfly giving away its effect, life runs into chaos; there is rain, though its the most wonderful shower of nature’s love one would ever see; there is a peacock dancing and the birds rushing every direction to their homes, that too if i believe would be to discover the naked, blatant nature; the breeze turning into strong winds and blazing gush of that monstrous mouth, but isnt that power the one that makes us breath?

However absurd the above piece may seem to you, it does really remark the difference in moments in life, from eventless and boring to exciting; from lonely to having the best companion; from loss to win and from death to life.

LIFE IS ABOUT MOMENTS!!    But also, it is the discovery of those moments, which isnt possible unless we live it full.

The Cycle Project

Cycle Donation

It all started 2 months ago, in a journey to Rajkot. I was reading how a business professional turned into a social entrepreneur cum worker. It started as a novel piece of story which soon turned into an inspiration and finally into a motive.

I really wanted to do this, i thought. As soon as the college reopened, I contacted RAI sir, talked with an NGO in ahmedabad, got some basic knowledge and finally thought, let me try.

H-8 has quite a few old cycles which have been orphaned by the students who stayed here since the last 2-3 years. Last year, the HOSTEL SECTION had asked all owners to take them back, but since no one claimed, those were prized into the stock of Hostel Section ownership. Since then they have been lying there. Unwatched, unclaimed, unwanted.

So sum all the things up and you see, i am trying hard to accumulate the cycles and finding the students worthy for them. Nirzaree is my partner and she’s being the creative mind behind all. I have learnt many things i wouldnt have otherwise if not for the experience i got and am getting.

We still need the students, although we on the way to know them. We yet to get donations, although the CHW and Rai Sir has been warm and cooperative. We need the enthu and respect which SVNIT and its students lack mutually. Finally, i need this experience and idea to succeed for it will help me form my thoughts

Still lots to do, quite some time before things get materialize and many a stones to turn for the shelter to be built.

Godspeed and Good Luck.

Get Inspired!!

Wake Up, Dreamer!

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can…

Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many path and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say

We wake up every morning and sleep every night with the thought of success in the mind, to run as fast as we can, to be active as more as we can, to be known as much as we can. Making friends as we see through their credentials, being on the side that’s in power and the buttering of the Profs for those marks ‘which matter’.  But, some of us still dwindle in their pasts, in what could have been, the run away from that stalker named ‘Fear’, the reluctance to accept and the acceptance of the way they are or things that are.

Dreams are an undulating form of our thoughts, our wishes and our subconscious. We feel inspired with their heights, we feel threatened by their obscurity, and we crave their exhilarating existence-however virtual and fear sometimes the dark it penetrates.  Personally, dreaming makes me vulnerable, I wake up wanting something more, but that I feel is the essence, I feel a purpose of pushing myself more for next 24 hours.  Sometimes, some days we are wayfarers in the Neverland where we experience remorse and contempt and seclusion. Why is that?

In Life we have faced a lot of problems, some petty and others huge and fortunately we will continue to do so.  What has happened is either great or unwanted. But it has happened! I need not be a mind power trainer to tell this, Life is always now and ahead, being an optimist is enough. But those who face problems must remember that they are someday, sometime destined to do greater things, to affect lives of people and places like yours right now.  And perhaps it is an opportunity for you to make yourselves up for it.

Eagles' Inspiration

I give an example of an Eagle here. An eagle can live a life up to 70 years. At the age of around 35, its beaks and claws get folded, get old, its feathers get bulky and it then experiences what can perhaps be the last flight of precipice in life. It then has to take the toughest decision of its life, to die like this or to have a rebirth through struggle and pain. For, in order to live more it has to undergo 150 days of hell. It has to first knock off its beak in the rocks by pecking continuously till a new beak grows. Then it has to pluck its old feathers one by one in what is really painful cleansing to let the new ones grow. At the end of 150 days if it can survive those, it can then live a life of 35 years more. A New life! A rebirth!

We face situations every time; in college, in sport, in career and in family. But most of all it is necessary for us to get over things which have masked a sense of failure in our hearts. For, there is not greater failure than accepting one and not improving. Sometimes it isn’t wrong for us to let go of things which we are obsessed about and play a waiting game. To sit back and look at things from a critic’s way and evaluate. Things happen, good and bad but it for us to get over them and live ahead.

Take that extra step, or wait for that perfect time. Try not to percolate into what is self denial, into self contempt, into a stage of void. No one likes you there! So even if it seems objective to think it like this, a good thought, a need, a want in the morning isn’t bad for starters.

Or still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

Halo..

I heard this song sometime ago.. I liked it very much. I don’t know somehow i feel like sharing it.

It helps..

Someone gave it to me. and i give it for all to hear.

Is it wrong to make a mistake?

It isnt.. It wouldn’t be.. But be sure what you want before its late.

For we are.. What we are.. and We will be.. We just will be more.

One Tree Hill

Verse 1
I never promised you a ray of light,
I never promised there’d be sunshine everyday,
I give you everything I have, the good, the bad.
Why do you put me on a pedestal,
I’m so up high that I can’t see the ground below,
So help me down you’ve got it wrong, I don’t belong there.

Chorus:
One thing is clear,
I wear a halo,
I wear a halo when you look at me,
But standing from here, you wouldn’t say so
you wouldn’t say so, if you were me
And I, I just wanna love you,
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you

Verse 2
I always said that I would make mistakes,
I’m only human, and that’s my saving grace,
I fall as hard as I try
So don’t be blinded
See me as I really am, I have flaws and sometimes I even sin,
so pull me from that pedestal,
I don’t belong there.

Chorus:
One thing is clear,
I wear a halo,
I wear a halo when you look at me,
But standing from here, you wouldn’t say so
you wouldn’t say so, if you were me
And I, I just wanna love you,
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you

Why you think that you know me
But In your eyes
I am something above you
It’s only in your mind
Only in your mind
I wear a
I wear a
I wear a Halo

One thing is clear,
I wear a halo,
I wear a halo when you look at me,
But standing from here, you wouldn’t say so
you wouldn’t say so, if you were me
And I, I just wanna love you,
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you

Haaaa ha-ha halo (x9)
