About Me

My photo
Hi, this is somebody who has taken the quieter by-lane to be happy. The hustle and bustle of the big, booming main street was too intimidating. Passing through the quieter by-lane I intend to reach a solitary path, laid out just for me, to reach my destiny, to be happy primarily, and enjoy the fruits of being happy. (www.sandeepdahiya.com)

Musings on a hazy early winter day

Forget whether your one coin will change the life of that person or not. All you need is a big heart and genuine sympathy. A coin given with respect to a fellow human being is far-far more valuable than a hundred rupee bill given with some inhibitions. The lesser fortunate will feel the humanism behind your gesture and reciprocate in equal measure.

***

Always there are easiest of routes to the toughest of destinations. Every hard situation has the softest of a solution. So there is no hard problem in the real sense. Our solutions make them so. When in the face of a tough situation blame your solution not the situation.

***

If your mind just doesn't see any solution in a difficult phase of life, start with an assumption that things will turn for the better. Then without wasting time and energy on becoming too serious, just put yourself on autopilot. Just allow things to happen to you. Just persist there. At the lowest morsels. It’s a very intelligent universe out there to help you survive and sustain. Look with hope and love into the infinite starlit distances at night. The ‘primordial will’ will reciprocate. You will get rewards as opportunities will grab you slowly, silently without sounding miraculous.

***

If you can’t respect other’s thoughts, not a big problem with that. Just slog it out—even egoistically—to prove your point. But never do the same in case of feelings. Respect other’s feelings. There is a big difference between thoughts and feelings. You can trample your fellow human beings’ thoughts. But please spare their feelings. Feelings are sanctimonious. Leave them unstigmatised and pure on the altar of heart.

In "Animal Farm" the pigs led a coup against humans, driving the humans away. Nothing to do with humans and anything related to them, they declared. The commandment included not to stay in the farmhouse once used by the human owner. Later when the group of pigs, the leaders, shifted to the rooms, their propaganda master said it was more suitable to the dignity of a leader to stay in the comfort of a house. Well, reminds of Kejriwal and his big official bungalow...

World is just set for fundamental changes. Even birds are taking short-cuts on natural instincts. A dove just picked few sinews to tag them in along the flimsy protection of the money plant clinging to our neem tree. Just 2 ft above the ground, visible to wild cats and humans. Laying two eggs it just flew away not to be seen. I found one egg missing and the other somehow fruitlessly stuck up. We have done irreversible damage to nature and its constituents!

***

Among monkeys we grew out of our skin to rule the planet. Among us, now the politicians are just evolving fast as a totally different super-species. Time is not far when they will just stand out as winners at all levels. So fellows join politics. It’s just a matter of making good choice in the scheme of evolution.

***

In the traffic chaos a small natural phenomenon crying for attention. Delhi…a congested road…vehicles after vehicles hurtling with noise and exhaust fumes…horns angrily baulked…and a 2 ft road divider. A female dog with tummy full of just-to-be delivered puppies desperately digging a hole to lie down for the moment of creation. The unconcerned world just speeding away. We miss so many misdeeds born of our mindless development.

***

Now the dilemma arises. Is it possible to do a good deed in part? Or goodness requires the completion of a cause? Just because most of us are incapable to see through our act of beneficence to its destination, is it justified not to take that littlest of step which might keep the chances still alive for someone in need?

***

"When they measured my stature, they failed to measure my heart." NFL veteran Vernon Turner in Option B, on the sports officials' doubts about his suitability for the game given his less than adequate physical attributes. He proved them wrong by not being a product of his DNA. He became a product of his actions. Go within and dab into the innermost reservoirs of your will power. It undoes any evident limitation imposed on the the outer surface of our existence.

***

I may not have the genes to be a world champion, but I have the option to act and be a smart, successful, happy, competent, confident and caring human being. And once I do that no reward stays unachievable.

***

Majority of our repentances are over the incapability to act in the past, rather than the actions which failed. So think, rethink, discuss with the best person you have around, and then just nail it, act. The burden of regrets becomes lighter in the future.

***

The mighty lord whispers in a softest voice,
My son grow thou strongest and sire chances for those without any choice! 
***
Though your enemy, I am sweet! 
My neck thus deserves a softer treat!
***
You know why people kick a football? Simple, because it reacts and invites more kicky acts! And why people don’t kick a stone? Because it doesn’t react, only your toes get an ache! So fellas become stones, controversies will find you untouchable!
