Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand

Vanished from my hand

Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet

And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship

My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip

My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels

To be wanderin'

I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade

Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way

I promise to go under it.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.......

To Falter , Rise and Falter Again

What I have realised is that we are all vunerable in life. We are all designed to commit mistakes, learn from them and then move ahead to commit some new ones. The mistake part keeps happening and I guess, this is what is called as learning or experience.

I wonder, when we all know that mistakes are bound to happen, why do we try to be perfect ?

I realise that some mistakes do cause a big impact in life. The effect of it is not on how people treat you after you have commited the blunder, but on how you deal with yourself. Its lies all in the mind. Some times we are so hard on ourselves that we loose our track in life.

I also know this is easier said than done. I guess what can come as a little bit of a rescue during such crisis is external support. A shoulder to hold on to. Trust me folks, helping someone during such a crisis can revive him or her. You may not even realise your effort. But you may soon realise that this support has done wonders to him or her.

To Falter, to rise and to Falter back is what's going to happen for us all the time. Let us accept the fact and be a little lenient on ourselves. Many more gross mistakes, still awaits us in the future.

Kabhi toh Sochoan Yaroan...

Its been 2 months since I have moved to the US. But somehow it looks like ages. Sometimes I wonder whether I should have moved to the US, long time back. But then I realise that I would have lost all the wonderful years that I would have spent home.
.

People say, one should move to the US at the young age, make quick money and then laze around for the rest of the life. But what people don’t realise is that with growing age your hunger for money and materialistic pleasures just keep increasing. Dil mange toh sirf More and More.
.

Things start in your childhood. Dad Bole padhai kaar, fir future Set. So I studied. Boss bola mann lagage kaam karr, fir Promotion set. So I sloughed. Duniyain boli Onsite settle hoan beta, Life Set. So I flew. Is set ke chakaarr main toh salaa life unset hoan jaati hain. This brings me to the point that - Why are we living our present for the future, that we aint even sure of seeing it.
.

Lucky are the beggar. He is one among the few who lives in the present. He lives just to survive the moment. Kuch expectations nahi na kuch goal setting. Bus Ajh ke liyain jiyaon.
.

Life as they say is all about choices. We need to make a choice and stand by it. However life sometimes doesn’t give you choices. They sound and feel like choices. But in reality they are someone elses decisions. You are just an actor in front of the camera. Its not you whose enacting the drama, it’s the director. The moment you don’t listen to him, you are shown the door. People would say that this in itself is a choice. But to me in reality, its just an incovenient decision thrown on you.
.

Sometimes I wonder how much Life has taught me in the last 28 years. And I still Ponder, how much is yet to go.......
