Keep on living
Which is worse? Knowing that you will die tomorrow and lose everything you haveOr having lost everything, knowing that you have to keep on living

Mountain Insight
Interesting…. I climbed 10,000 feet Trying to leave the world behindClimbing was good – I had a missionSunsets, Sunrises, snow and coldAll made a beautiful milieuSweat and shivers, I am proud of bothSlow but sure, I trudged aheadBut coming down – brought everything back That I had worked so hard to leave behindThe fear of falling, and losing controlAnd the biggest challenge of all- Letting Go
Walk Away
If you can’t solve a problem – just leave it behind…
The power of nothing
What do you need to be happy?—-Nothing!
Ruskin’s observation
Read this in a short story of Ruskin Bond “A happy person notices things”
Question
Are you afraid of dying alone or living alone? Everyone dies alone and if you are afraid of living alone – here’s another question. Why would you be afraid of your own self?
Main
Saal guzren hain ek talaash meinPursat hi nahin mili khud ke dekh baal meinAb khoye hua us main ko dhoondoon
Shuruvaat
Is raah pe pehle bhi guzri hoonYaheen pahad, yaheen dhoopYaheen suraj, yaheen amberPehle bhi kuch yaheen khayal uth rahen theAb bhi waheenZindagi itni bhi na ghuma deKi mud mud ke Waheen, shuruvaat pe na pahunch jaoon
Sleepy Contemplation
When something that exists today dies, it becomes the pastIt becomes a memoryWhat happens when a dream that you saw diesDoes it become the past? But how can it when it never existed in realityIt was, after-all, just a dream – its very nature is to be unrealA dream that occured, but can never re-occur Should we call it the past or just a broken dream?

A beautiful place
Yesterday, I went to a beautiful placeOpen sky aboveHands on the wheelWind in the hairThe colors were stark Blue oceanGreen mountainsThe sounds were clearOf zooming bikesRinging laughterThe sights – they will be foreverEagles soaring Sleepy ottersCoy couplesThe seas and the skiesForming one big blue Yesterday, I went to a beautiful placeFrom inside out and then withinFor a moment I wished I could take Everybody with meAnd love everybodyAnd for a moment I wondered if I did 8/24/07
About Black

How the sigh escaped
Krishna dusted the furniture diligentlyThe sun streamed into the early Delhi morningAs she lifted the phone on the stand to clean under itIt let out a squeak from the pullingI listened to the sudden sound –It struck something – a note A familiar note somewhere withinAs I felt it sink, I recognized the noteMy silent deep sighIt escaped
Lesson about Life
I just read about a cancer patient – a young 18 year old who lost his life to cancer. But he did it while fighting back and living life. Sometimes when I read these stories, I am ashamed I ever complain about my life. When people live life “inspite of” , it makes you wonder if you are using all your gifts, if you are making the best of what you have.Isn’t there a song that says – Live like like you were dying.. Do something new today!
Writers
I had a thought today : Why is it that most writers are mostly such melancholy souls? Is it because, even though they write stories, they cannot write their own. Even though they create fiction, they cannot create their own reality?
