.....

હર એક શમણઓ કંઇ સાકાર નથી હોતા,
હર એક કલ્પનાઓ ને કંઇ આકાર નથી હોતા,

જગતમા સૌને કંઇ કોઇના આધાર નથી હોતા,
જોકે સૌ કોઇ પણ િનરાધાર નથી હોતા.

ઉડવુ હોય આકાશ પણ અપાર નથી હોતા,
રડવુ હોય આંસુ પણ પારાવાર નથી હોતા.

ઈચ્છા તો હોય ઘણી, મક્કમ િનર્ધાર નથી હોતા,
કદાચ એટલે જ હરેક શમણા સાકાર નથી હોતા.......

Glimpses of the Old Man,,!!!

May be for the first time I am posting totally randon thought....I wont blame u if u dont read ahead.!

That was like my everyday journey from work to home. Catching bakerloo line train, sitting with mass of people, reading some random book and never bothering who's around. I hardly even notice the stations passes by n I never have idea who's sitting or standing besides me.

It was paddington station I remember ,an old Indian man (gujju looking too) got on the train, n because of the office off hours trafic, he didnt get the seat to sit. And for some heavenly reason I did noticed the Indian looking old man. As he was standing right next to me, I nearly stood up to offer him the seat as I could stand and he can not. As a gesture of saying no to my offering he patted on my cheek, and people arond me got surprised by his action. To people here in England that might be a gesture of harassing someone or may be something else, but I undersood that was a gesture the old man can show to his daughter, grand daughter. He said " no I am alright beta, dont worry about me. This old man can stand." I smiled and got back into my book again.

Few more stations passed by and the train got bit more crowded, I looked again at the old man n he looked at me too with a 100% genuin smile. I said "You sure you don't want the seat? Will you be alright?" He said "How can you read the book in the train with this concentration, I can never do that?" What a random reply!!! n that to filled with pure emotions and a friendliness as if he knows me since my childhood........A few station later a seat further down mine, got empty n he got the place, I don't know from there, which station he got off, where did he go, I think I did look out for him but couldnt' see him anymore......

I felt like i had seen him before, his face looked so familiar, But I bet i never had seen him, thts just how I felt about him. I still remember his face and the 100% genuin smile and the voice. I might never forget that,,or I will forget that, I dont know. One thing is for sure, I liked that old man, I remeberd of my grandpa.

I am little odd, I never look or smile at the stranger. Even if they smile, I frown. But I smiled at that old man,so did he. My smile was not that 100% genuin but his was!!! I might not see him again.....but I guess It was very nice to have Glimpses of the OLD MAN............

ઍવુ પણ કયારેક બન્યું હશે.......

સીધી હથેળીમા ક્યારેક રહ્યુ જળ હશે,
કે પછી દરિયામા ખીલ્યુ કમળ હશે,
ઍવુ પણ કયારેક બન્યું હશે,
કે રણમાં લગ્યો દાવાનળ હશે.

કાંટાઓની ભાવના કયારેક કોમળ હશે,
ને નાનું ખાબોચિયું પણ દળદળ હશે,
ઍવુ પણ કયારેક બન્યું હશે,
કે પી શકાય એવા ઝાંઝવાના જળ હશે.

ધોર અંધારે શમણાઓ જળહળ હશે,
ને બંધ પાણીમા રહી ખળખળ હશે,
ઍવુ પણ કયારેક બન્યું હશે,કે
સ્મિત પાછળ વેદનાઓ પ્રબળ હશે.......

..............

હુ પણ ક્યારેક ક્યારેક્ કમાલ કરુ છુ,
તુ પ્રેમ કરે છે અને હુ સવાલ કરુ છુ.

ભુલી જાય છે તુ મોટી મોટી વાતો અને,
હુ નાની નાની વાતો પર બબાલ કરુ છુ.

હુ કાઇ પણ બોલુ, મને બધુ માફ,
ને તુ કાઇ બોલે તો હુ ધમાલ કરુ છુ.

કદાચ હશે જુદી રીત આપણી પ્રેમ કરવાની,
તુ પ્રેમ મા જવાબ આપે,ને હુ પ્રેમ માં સાવાલ કરુ છુ....

Life-the game

Life is a glorious game only if you play it right and fair. It gives and takes, builds and breaks but ultimately, he surely wins who tries and plays with full honesty. Few fails even by trying, and few wins who wait. They fail, they only fail who haevtn striven with the honesty.

Our great glory is not in 'never failing' but the real glory is in 'Rising every time wee fall'. Defeat can serve as a victory to shake your soul and get the glory out.

There is always a battle to be faught before the coveted victory is won. Too many of us feel that they should have the victory before the battel, and that is the only cause of failing. And that battel lasts until u actually win, so all you have to do is to be patient to win.

Great minds have purposes whereas others only have wishes. And a wish can never be achivement until it becomes the goal, the purpose. Little minds are tamed and subdued by seeming setbacks and minor misfortunes, but great minds rise above them.

Always have a purpose, and treat life as a fair game where every one has a chance to win. You just have to fight until your chance comes...............................................

Good luck

રસ્તો તો એક જ છે, મારા ઘર થી કબર સુધીનો,,,,
કોઇ માટે લાકડા, તો કોઇ મુમતાઝ માટે સંગેમરમર સુધીનો.....

તરસ કોઇ પણ રહેશે નહી અંતે આ મનમા,,,,
તફાવત રહેશે નહિ પછી રણ કે ઝરમર સુધીનો.....

ચાલવાનુ શરુ કરે ત્યારથી દોડે છે મંજિલ તરફ્,,,
અંતિમ મંજિલ તો એક જ છે, સવાલ છે એની સબર સુધીનો.....

ખુબ મેળવ્યુ દોડી દોડી, અંતે શુ વળવાનુ છે,,,,,
કબર તો નાની જ હશે, મહેલ ભલે હોય અંબર સુધીનો.....

વેદનાઓ

માનવ મ્હેરામણ મા એકલી ફરુ છુ,
બાકી શહેર મા બધુ ઠીકઠાક છે.

તાર જવાનો ગમ છે હજુ એમનેએમ,
પણ હવે આ સૃષ્ટી વધુ ખતરનાક છે.

ચાલ્યા કરે છે સમય ના ચક્રો એમનેએમ,
પણ તારી સ્મૃતિ હજુ જડબેસલાક છે.

દોડુ છુ રસ્તા પર ગતિ એ ની એ જ છે,
પણ આ પ્રસંગથી હૈયુ અવાક છે.

બહાર થી તો હસીને વાતો કરુ છુ,
વેદનાઓ ચુપ છે, છતા દર્દનાક છે.

મારી જાત ગમે છે.

સાચુ કહુ મને તો મારી જાત ગમે છે.
ખુદ સાથે કરવી મને વાત ગમે છે.

હર એક દિવસની પ્રભાત ગમે છે,
આયના સાથે કરવી મને વાત ગમે છે.

હુ કરુ એ બધાની રજુઆત ગમે છે,
હુ કરુ એ બધાની શરુઆત ગમે છે.

મારા નાનકડા દીલના જસ્બાત ગમે છે,
ખુદને પુછુ છુ એ સવાલાત ગમે છે.

ક્યારેક કરી લઊ છુ એ બકવાટ ગમે છે,
મારી ફકીરાઇમા રહેલા મારા ઠાઠ ગમે છે.

મને મારી નાનકડી ઔકાત ગમે છે,
સાચુ કહુ મને મારી જાત ગમે છે.

Expect form yourself.

In our life we have generally two kinds of expectations, One is expecting form others which is like quite general and normal. Another kind of expectation is something which you expect from yourself and your life. Expectations may work well for you or some time it may ruin your life as well.



If you expect something from other there more chances your expectaions may not b fulfilled and you end up suffering beause of that. On the other hand expectations that you held from yourself will always lead you toachieve something that you have always craved for.



If you expect some one to do you some favour and your expectation do not get fulfilled you either cry or you might as well make that person cry for that. But any how in that case no one will be happy. At the same time if you expect something from yourself and you really dare to achieve, you will lead to a happy ending.....



Its not always wise to think what you expect from other, is rational and logical. From your point it might be but form their point you might be the most illogical and irrational person. Always try and think what would be your reaction if you were some one else. Try and put your feet in some one else's shoes and you migh tget to know how hard it is to behave and how easy it is to react.



So, always expect relavent thing from relavent person. Your irrelavent expectations will lead no one to happiness, niether you not the person you expected something from. So why bring sorrows in your own life..... Why to create problems your self when you already have few other problems to slove.



I always pray to god that any expectation that may arise in my mind will be more for me and less for others. We must have to the relaveance of our expecatation towards us and towards others. Because at hte end of the day what i may want is happiness out of my life -as I being human- is always selfish......So, i might just expect less from you and more from me...............

Prayers

What is a prayer???....
Some shlokas of sanskrit? or what you used to sing when you were in school? or what you say to god when in tamples?
No, i think its joust we call prayers.

"A prayer is a healing medicine which will help you to come out from your troubles for some time."

A prayer is not only worship to the god but it is a feeling that somewhere you are being heard by some one. That there is always some one to listen to you when you want to speak a secret. A prayer to god is not always demading something, sometime its just to cry out your secret problems that you may not be able to tell anyone else except youself and your god.

You may either be knowing the solution to your problem or might be knowing that your problem has no solution but just saying it out in terms of prayer will help to to stay calm untill your problem is solved.

Not necessarily all prayers must be sung or recite bowing your head in front of a statue that all believe is god. I fyou think you are talking to got or rememberign god in one or the other way thats is some sort of prayer only.

I feel when I am praying, I am just talking to god, I may be asking, demanding or balming god for what so ever happened. But at the end of single way conversion i feel very light and relieved. A prayer is a single way conversation where you are speaker and the god is listener.

Even if god is not relying keep faith that you are being heard and keep faith that your prayer will work.......Your prayer will work....will work...will work.....
