Mumbai Routine: The wait was finally over….
Snarling all around with a face that could not look dimmer than what seemed to be. As I walked into the client’s office, he was staring at the horrible sounds that seemed to be echoing through his office with my entrance.
But I guess, the meeting was important enough to entertain my orchestra of heavy cough and cold in his conference room.
I finished my appointments and meetings one after the other and rushed to find a cab back home. Desperately with my weary self I carried the exhaustion my body was trying to bear all around the crowded street of Andheri.
As the misery of my last 3 days fever and cold seemed to catch up on my body strength, I caved in and started hunting for a rick that could take me home in it’s own topsy-turvy way. I finally found one in the horribly crowded and filled with heavy horns and brakes road of Saki Naka. I entered in and re-checked with the Pilot of the ‘Rick’ of my destination. He nodded and took off in his horribly rash way that he drives. He drove like he owned the road, but the only issue was, with his speed, he seemed to also own my life for that hour or so. Anyways, I was too tired to move and in those twenty minutes or so he just all of a sudden stopped.
“Gas nahi hai sir rickshaw mein” he said and eyed for me to get off the vehicle.
No gas in the rick, Wow, fabulous. I was at the Hira Nandani area of Powai at 7 pm where I would never ever get another rick in less than half hour.
Bingo, I was right! I got the rick for my way home at 7:25 pm. I was half crashing down when I reached home.
I ate something light to keep me ticking and rushed to the doctor to get some meds of this stretched weariness. Luckily, there were only 2 other miserable looking individuals at the doctors waiting room. I took my number and just laid back in the seat waiting to get my dose of medicine. It was 9:30 pm. In the next 30 minutes or so, there were apparently 6 others who went directly in saying they needed to just show their reports who apparently the doc’s helper felt was fine to let them in. By the time the whole lot went in and out and me with the other one more waiting to get in could explain and get things right, (which I did not get into as it seemed like a fight when the others were doing it, so I just laid back in the seat) the time was 10:20 pm.
Finally, it was my turn and I could not believe my luck. The doc had an emergency call and she left.
Finally, I got my dose of meds and left at 11pm. Glad… My wait was finally over and apparently when I took my meds back at home… so was the day!
Happy healing!
Even this will “PASS!” – no pun intended!
There was a total blackout. I could hear blaring sounds in my head. Voices, objects and people in scores, thumping and banging around with drums of steel making clanking noises so loud that it seemed my eardrums were to come apart.
Soon enough there was absolute silence as I dwelled into the beautiful home of ‘nidra’ meaning sleep, without a reason and without my own realization of it.
It was only after about another 10 minutes or so, that I regained consciousness. My severe attack of migraine had just passed me with a small objectionable visit that was impactful, but was thankfully not prolonged.
I left my workplace and was heading towards home as one of my workplace employee got me a rickshaw to get back home safely.
The drive was going to be lengthy so I rested in the luxurious and cramped vehicle.
Luxurious because anything and anyplace that let me just slide in now felt so comfortable and cramped as the ‘jhankar beats’ in the rick was in full swing all of a sudden that was clobbering my head.
I asked him to ‘Just shut it’, as he looked back with a not so contented face, he sure did. I was in no mood to explain why to him but damn, I just should have.
As the alacrity of that awesome machine and the not so positive feelings of the driver got together, the vehicle kept swirling across many bewildering lanes and pathways, I felt as if I was being taken for a ‘ride’ and I double checked to look at the roads.
He was heading in the right direction. I guess it was just my head that was still raging with the earlier impact then.
Soon enough the resentment and frustration of not allowing him to play the wild and horrible songs in his vehicle caught up with him and he was showing no signs of slowing down.
Bang….. Bam….. thrash!!!
Our awesome flying saucer was hit by a ‘lorry’ and the little vehicle rolled sideways.
Strangely and by god’s grace nothing happened to me as I came out of the vehicle with not even a scratch, except for my head that was now screaming with the rising agony called migraine.
The rickshaw-valla was hit roughly and I with few others took him out of the vehicle.
He was still able to stand as he looked at himself and then at me as if I was some alien.
I took him to the nearby traffic policeman who escorted him to the doctor as I left for the close to railway station.
I was in Sion station soon enough.
Now the effect of the collision and my now very active and boisterous headache was taking its toll on me. I was getting extremely exhausted and could not even descend the steps to reach to the platform. But it was me, so I eventually did.
I got in the first class compartment and just lied down inside. It was noon and it was quite empty.
I was woken up in a not so subtle fashion by someone who by looking at my face which was too weary by now probably thought I was drunk. It was the TC.
He asked me for my pass and as I reached my hand towards my pocket, I realized I had unknowingly donated my wallet apparently in the road accident. I explained to the TC but in vain as he asked me to get down and go to the place where the ticketless travelling classes of people are given due and generous attention by more than one TC.
All my explanation was futile but I told him of what had happened from the start of the day, he then looked a little bit more convinced. I was not in a position to talk as I sat down on the seat and it was just then that one of the sessions from my management class just hit me hard.
Brand sells.
I searched for my bag and showed him my student id that I had with me of one of the most elite institutions in India and the name just hit him hard. I guess, it is true, Brand does sell.
He mellowed down and asked me where I work and got few other details. He also asked me if I had any money to buy a ticket. I told him, my wallet was gone and had none.
He asked me to get down with him in the next station and believe it or not, he bought me a ticket for second class for my way back home and got me in the train compartment safe and sound.
That was a very positive experience I had that day.
Sure I have heard of gruesome stories about them, but that day, needless to say, I was impressed to see humanity still to be so much in existence. They too have too many cases of not so genuine reasons many a times I guess. Anyway, I was also glad that I was awake when the lecture was taught in the class saying, Brand sells!
As I continued my routine journey in the train from the next day, I met with the same TC by the end of that week again. It was the same TC in the compartment of the first class and I reminded him of the incident.
I gave him my fine that was due from the other day, took the receipt and for a change happily got out off the train.
It was never about the money I guess. It annoys people normally because of the way they treat you many a times.
But I guess, You give something good and you get something good in return.
I don’t know whether every person could deal things this way always like that TC did, the world would be so much a better place then and if they don’t, as the old saying goes….. Even this shall PASS! No pun intended.

A ‘Desire’ to quote it just right!
A ‘desire’ to quote it, just right!
Last week’s questions and discussions on the current spiritual scenario: On youth, desire and spirituality:
“Desire is the root of all evil. Ancient wisdom says, stay away from desire”
Now this line caught my notice which said, Desire is the root of all evil.
Desire is never evil. What you desire and the approach in which you desire might lead you to evil. The issue was uncomplicated and yet had lot of depth in it as the master’s quote read: “I may always desire more than I accomplish – Michelangelo”
So, now the person, who had laid this query to us, perceptibly did it with an intention to set off something in me. Probably a nerve which was tickling my funny bone or may be a nerve that held my tolerance level high.
In any way, I thought of jotting this down by asking the same question to few others in the last 24 hours in the Q n A session on – current spiritual scenario: On youth, desire and spirituality.
An overall gist of people’s response was like this:
• Desire, if you do not, there is no need to live.
• If you desire more than you can, you will always be unhappy.
• If I do not desire, then nothing in life I deserve.
• Divine and spirituality is for old and retired people.
Ok. So there was a slight repairing or oiling required may be.
This is for all our youth out there today, saying ‘another day, another dime earned.’
First of all, desiring something is the whole basis and idea for survival.
Reason, the person who asked me the question had no job putting this personal question before me. But he desired to do more than his job profile demanded. So he asked.
I desired more, to know what people had to say, even though I am going to jot down at the end and express my views on the same, because I desired the need to bond and get in touch with all of them and get into their minds. And at the end still hold the power to speak and express….. hey, it is my blog!
On a more serious note, I did it to know and feel their pulse on the same.
So when we take a look at a term like desire, we see that desire is nothing but convincing. Convincing others or yourself. But this time, convincing that, there could be more to life. Convincing that this is how it has to be or not to be.
Desire is why a society stays alive. Desire is why we have grown beyond a religious or spiritual round table conference and are able to do this online today. Because someone desired to do more than there was.
Now coming back to the divine part, Desire is never bad.
The holy books have always shown us the technique to get what we yearn for. Being spiritual does not mean giving up on worldly pleasures. It means understanding what the earliest knowledge has left for us to learn and be paramount in whatever we ‘desire’.
I have been born into a very religious family. But luckily I never followed or obeyed the customs nor was I asked to. I chose to follow them by choice. I am not religious, but definitely spiritual. It helps me concentrate better than I can, which is fantastic.
Believe it or not, religious customs and traditions are what gives us more discipline and focus in life. People tend to take it in the wrong way.
A person who reads and is able to understand the books of such immense knowledge, can accomplish whatever he or she wants out of life.
You want to be rich, you want to be a superhero, you want to have a castle, you want to get a Ph.d.?
It’s all in there.
But, you take it and drink it as a whole. Do not try to take the gist of it. You cannot just smell your food and say whether it is perfect. You have to taste it and eat it properly to know.
I feel hilarious when people say, spirituality means giving away worldly desires or when I hear that these things are for those who are old. I feel sorry for both of them. Not because they do not believe in it.
Each of us has a choice to lead a life that we want to live, as we ‘desire’ (no pun intended).
I know that those people are already brilliant and talented enough to such an extent, that these disciplines if they acquire, each of them could have what they desire or seek out of life faster than they would.
And like one of my management lessons quoted: ‘A dime earned today, is more than a dime earned tomorrow’. So let us build our passion with the words of the wise and use it in our foray.
And mind me; it is also not something that is gained over just five to10 years. It’s an on-going process. It’s like having an MBA and applying that to work for 10 years to become the CEO instead of just doing it with a bachelor’s for over 20 years and ending up being a manager at 60.
At the end of it all, it’s each one’s choice and each one’s way of life. But it is always good to know, that there is something out there for us that can help us reach our goal faster than we desire.
So desire with spiritual knowledge or self-realization is great. Is victory. Is success. So let us desire and stay alive, kicking and winning. There are no regrets when you desire and dream.
So let us Desire, Dream and De-stress!
Happy reading.

HEALTH & WELLNESS
STRESS RELIEF!
Life is too beautiful and By god :
LIFE HAS A WAY OF BALANCING ITSELF
To pass positively & impactfully with our time out here, we need to live with an ATTITUDE. An attitude that will get you by anything and everything in life , which is made up of these factors , so easiest way to live up to YOUR EXPECTATIONS from life is follow them and life is going to be more simple and beautiful.
All of us are here for a reason. All of us have a dream. We are here just for a minor period of time, so LIVE it such that you know you have made every moment count.
We are Human beings, the most superior form of energy on earth and we Have HOPE to achieve all that we want to in life till we are breathing, so no man is a failure till he is forever gone. We cannot choose how , where and when we were born , we cannot choose when we will be gone but yes, we can choose how we will be remembered.
IMPACT.
Thats allthat matters. What we did for ourselves and for others and how much have we influenced the world by our actions in the years to come that is our REAL FAME, Fortune and destiny. That what we finally leave behind is our LEGACY.
So, why get troubled with all the things that bother us in – between. Why stop and waste our UNBELIEVABLE precious TIME on those which have been said and done. The loss of a loved one, the loss of fame , fortune cause us so much pain… but JUST think about it. Do we not slowly realise that we have so much more we can offer and so much better we can do in this world after every bitter experience. Thus every act is a learning experience to teach us and prepare us for something that would actually be our REAL lives. And that for every individual on this planet is filled with mysteries to unveil. Do we not see people who have been living in rags suddenly turn to millionaires, people who have had bad relationships having a great life filled with LOADS of LOVE. So , that means OUR PORTION of success , love , fame is right there… just around the corner. Just wait a little while more and you will be there, with all that you have dreamed and desired of. Still, if you feel down you can go ahead and try these out. I am not a doctor, I am a poet , a preacher an animator and have been the teacher. I have lived through life like everyone with ups and downs and I have a major part of my life to Still LIVE and I am SO SURE i am going to make the best of it as I follow certain priNciples and rules in life which help me keep my mind free most of the time and guide me like an angel to the path of enlightenment.
The Rules :
9) Exercise / Yoga / Meditation : The best way to drive away any pain or depression i feel is to go out for a real early morning walk or jog or a run. The morning air is so fresh and if possible do this in a park where there are flowers and fresh smell of dew, mud, as it helps one to think fresh and you end up actually giving that much time for yourself and also be one with nature which has over the past centuries given us solutions for most of our troubles.
Yoga is arguably the easiest way to fight any illness – Obesity, body ache, acidity, and a heart ache. Yoga helps you to get back your concentration and frees your mind.
Meditation is another way of getting back to your regular life as when you actually do get back only then will you realise that there are so many who miss you and so many you miss, so much you need to do and so much that believe me – only you can get done.
8) Family / Friends / Doctor :
If you are close with ’’ ANY ’’ of your family members, JUST TALK to them. OR
Same as above with friends OR
go and talk to a professional who can help you out.
To consult a doctor for getting out of depression is like getting medication for fever as he knows how to deal with that and he will and has to give you a remedy and just like you would consult your family physician for your flu, you should consult a psychologist who has specialised in HUMAN BEHAVIOURAL PATTERNS to guide you through, after all… they too need to survive and they are good with what they do just like any other professional. SO at least you can go for their sake !
7) Freak Out, in a good way : Just Get out and be where you want to be. JUST BE FREE. DO all that you had wanted to do, attend parties, host parties, visit temples , roll over in beach, do it all and you will unknowingly get a huge load out of your system.
6) DIET: PAy more attention to your diet : 2 reasons : Firstly it would keep your mind fixed on your health and looks and you would not think about anything else and secondly lets face it : You will look better. That matters too right !
5) DO YOUR THING : Listen to great music if you enjoy that, PAINT if that gives you relief , workout … just do your thing. we all have something that we enjoy doing the most by ourselves , something that is very true to our identity. SO just do that and you might end up finding out some art or talent hidden in you that might just POP – UP. Art and music are the best ways to fight depression as both help you not only to concentrate on that talent but also bring out as in output something very beautiful and inspiring.
4) SPEND YOUR TIME : When you feel really depressed, give yourself the maximum time and do not ever think you are idling away. Giving your self some time alone with no things to discuss or talk or DEAL with any more might be all that you need at that point and by buying yourself some time you will be able to enjoy the smaller and more important things of life like the sound of the birds, the first ray of the sun, the starry sky…….
3) Know your dream ,desire and Purpose : Everyone has a goal a dream a desire and a purpose in life. we are not like pebbles or tress who just remain there , do their job of lying around or say give shelter and one day just fade off.
we have a higher goal in life. Realise that. Know what your real passion is as in LIFE, FRIENDS DONT OWE YOU AND FAMILIES DONT OWE YOU, NOBODY OWES NOBODY NOTHING. YOU OWE YOURSELF. The moment you realise that you know that you need to get back out there and do what you can do because only then will you do better than you could have done.
2) Live for the legacy : we have had loads of problems in our lives and its gonna be more but then again ,its going to get finally better. Did you not fall before you took your fist step or did you start hopping right from day one. You learnt it STEP BY STEP, fall after fall. So why hurry on life. You are growing up, not GROWN UP yet as you will never be grown up till your kid starts wearing your shoes and yelling at you for getting him / her a bad and not what I expected Birthday present. Then, know that life is good and you have made it worthwhile. So live for your legacy, your kids as they bring more happiness and laughter and hope finally than anybody else on this wide and big and crazy planet.
1 : SO live with passion, not hope as there is always hope for all, but passion is whats going to get you out of everything thats holding you back and get you that one word in full positivity : IMPACT.
SO read more, learn more from life, preach more and teach more as the more you give and share the more you finally get for yourself to spare.
Remember :
Nobody will remember you for what you were, or what you will be. The only thing thats going to matter is the one question that you should be able to answer to yourself finally:
’’ DID YOU BECOME ALL THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BECOMING ’’ & FOR THE TIMID THINGS IN – BETWEEN – ’’ WHY BOTHER AT ALL – JUST LIVE IT UP AND BE WELL
