Slow Down...

                               If you are the one who skips this article as soon as seeing the title to the next facebook post then this is definitely for you.

'Time and Tide wait for none', ' A stitch in time saves nine' are all not applicable here.

Let us walk into a world where time is defined as what you make of it.

Every day you hustle and bustle, run behind something which you might never be contempt with. You carry hefty baggage of burden and suit it with burning shoes of pressure and sprint across the most beautiful garden that is made for you and you claim to be a winner.


Have we forgotten to sit down and appreciate life? Is all our relaxation and celebration restricted inside the walls of a theatre or contained inside the idiot box? Is our leisure defines by television program guides. Does entertainment mean only an affair with the digital world? Does art come in paper strips that say 'Admit One' and with a 2 and a half hour time bomb attached to it?

Any day, any time, any moment somebody will keep wanting something, Somebody will push others to make him want something. There will always and is always be a need and need for instant gratification. We are now turning into species  which needs instant gratification, has endless greed and forgot what patience mean. We want the fruits the day after sowing the seeds and we want more fruits,and more so soon no matter how bad they are. We are not ready to give it what it takes.

There is and there will always be pressure, because someone somewhere wants to win a meaningless horse race for which you end up spending sleepless nights making the last piece of steel for its least used shoe. for all that matters you might be from another planet to understand what that horse race means or if there is a race called horse.

Breathe in and breathe out. Are you going to keep sprinting in the beautiful garden? Don't you want to take in the colors to your senses? Don't you want to let loose your mind to mingle with the breeze and go on a merry ride?

Don't you want to take that moment to just feel your morning tea reach all your taste buds, move from your taste buds and end up landing in the roots of your intangibles?

Don't you want to soak yourself for that moment in the seas of music that rings across you during your busy day?

Don't you want to feel every single ingredient in your meal and please don't break 'fast', the world will not end and even if it so you just blend with it and go down loving it for what it has given you so far.

We already brought in too much of unwanted to our cooking vessel, too many that do not belong and now let us not make it worst by hastening the cooking.  We are already brought in so many misfits into our soil and now let us not pull the leaves out of it the soil in a mad urge.

Your life isn't lost if you slept an hour extra. Your money wouldn't sink if you let yourself play in the rain.

Your life wouldn't be a burden if you refuse to carry it. Let us stop, slow down, sync in with nature, feel the air and walk into the zone where time doesn't mattel

Rahul Dravid, A Workman Idol of our Times

Not everyone is born with the gift of talent, some just practice, persevere and perform. He is one such.                        It was said that if Sachin and Dravid were to be in a different sport, sachin would have been a marathon runner or a 100M dasher with all the flamboyance, flare, glory and adulation but rahul would have been an olympic shooter, calm, calculated,focussed and quietly hitting the bullseye of bullseye and signing off with minimum fuss like an anti-biotic that almost disappears after doing its duty in your body.                         You are great inspiration Rahul for all those who felt or feeling that they are not born talents. You proved that greatness is not a silverspoon. You showed that if one can sweat it out, keep up the hunger and stay in there, greatness would  inevitably follow.           ...

Kaleidoscope

"We are all star dust" says Carl Sagan. Suspended in the galaxy, Held in position by forces acting towards and against. Thereby we exist.                                            There is an inherent pattern in anything and everything that exists. There is a layer of abstraction, there is a cosmos of it's own in every tangibles. They aren't just any random distribution of chemical atoms and molecules. They are governed by a design.  An underlying current of design that runs across anything that is in nature. It doesn't stop there. It replicates. Replicates in any creation. It is as if this is contagious only that it is beautifully contagious. Going back to Carl Sagan's saying, thats is the core. Thats where the pattern starts and ends by the way. It is like everything up there are playing a game of chess against each other. There are dark and white spac...
