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.           ...

Think Green, Act Green, Spread Green

Green is already the colour of the century. Green, always portrayed as the colour of prosperity is now getting transformed into one which depicts the act of preserving it for the future. This is an alarming signal.    What are all the alarming signals?  Global Warming :  A gradual increase in the temperature of the earth. It is termed that a temperature increase of more than 0.4 C degrees in a period of 100 years purely due to human intervention is termed as global warming.  Extinction of various species of Flora and fauna : A natural effect of the global warming. It is not just the extinction but the rate at which it is happening is more worrying. This in turn causes an ecological imbalance in the environment. Who knows if this chain reaction continues humanity would stand near the gates of extinction. Vast Climatic Changes : Another major effect of Global warming. With continuous increase of earth's temperature, polar ice caps would melt. Sea levels will incr...
