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!
