If one science could explain the phenomenon of life, we would be learned people with nothing more to gain. Part of the differences that lie between us is accountable to the unknown areas of life. Secrets are revealed by successful men, mantras are sold like cupcakes in a candy shop; yet none of those seem to fit into your life with ease and simplicity: the way it did in that person's life.
Is it all in the hands of the person living his life? Or can the teachings of gurus be inculcated into our routine for attaining a level we only read in books or watched on television?
If I could have answered these questions, I would be reading my fan mail or globe trotting to give seminars, instead of sitting on the warm floor and writing this.
So for anybody who comes across this, it is not a diary entry or a collection of gripping stories. These are my thoughts.
Also, it's an easy way to not pressurize myself with a deadline. Writing at one's own pace is charming - well, at least more charming than reading classics or doing work where interest is the last thing on my mind. This is my idea of being free. Free to express, free to think, free to be. Yes, I know we live in a democratic country; yet we rob ourselves of our own freedom.

Here is: To Freedom, To Life and... To Smiles!!! :)
Cheers!

It's all for Love. Michael Jackson :) :) :)

Michael Jackson...

A man, who danced, sang, believed, helped, nurtured, cared and loved. Every Minute of his Life. People call him a performer, and sing along to his tunes, not really caring for the man himself. Given the tiles 'king of pop', 'legendary Michael Jackson', 'God of Music', among others.

He loved you know, and stood up for mankind, and united us all. How? Through his music, that reached millions and spread like wildfire for it was borne out of love. Love for all. Love for mankind, nature, tress, planet Earth. He just loved, never putting reason to any of it. He bared his heart for all to feel the love he felt for everything. He helped us let go of inhibitions and hatred and made us feel love that existed inside us, within our very soul.

His message is so clear - It's all about Love. L O V E. And it really is all about that. At the end of the day, you want love, you give love. It's magic to be a part of this planet and to be able to feel all these beautiful emotions, instead of having negativity flow inside us.

I am proud of Michael Jackson for having sheltered his childishness through the fame and drama that unfolded in his life. He received severe criticism for not having let go of his child-like behavior even at the age of 50. He is a man not filled with insecurity, but with strength to be himself.

And he had the power within him to accept everybody around him, looking over positives instead of negatives in all. He spread love and created bonds and maintained love through generations in lots of families. My father and I love listening to Michael Jackson songs. And those small, sweet moments will always remain with me.

I first listened to Michael Jackson songs when my father bout 3 CDs of his songs - Bad, Thriller and History in the mix (Blood on the Dance Floor). And since then, there has been no turning back.

It is sad to not have him on Earth, but he is always present through the love in his songs, and his music and dance from the soul.

In the end, the one thing that will always remain with us all - It's all for Love. Yes Michael, it's actually all for Love in this universe :)

The journey of Truth

Truth will never bite. It will only give us the wings we needed to fly out.
It relieves us of the pain that harms us, and the chains that bound us.
Its that beautiful sense of freedom we discover when we speak the truth out, such that we can soar up high with no regret and remorse.
Truth is an extension of the purity that lies naked within you. It never shows itself, for it is pure and untouched. Truth, if we shorten it leads to the existence of the word 'true'. Pure, in other words - true.

Truth is Existence. In itself. Its an experience, a journey. You might ask 'how'. I can only think of one sentence to bring forward the essence, understanding of it. When you tell a lie, it is said subconsciously. It is followed by another one in consciousness, and another. All these lies culminate to form what can be described as a 'journey' of lies. For once you embark on it, the strength to stop reduces over a period of time.

In a similar way, truth is a journey. A simple word is all it takes to realize the beauty of being true. Every day in our lives, we encounter a situaiton where we have the power to respond. And that decision of yours will make you aware of the reality, of yourself, of things you had not observed earlier.

The seed of truth is there in each one of us. It is present, to help you, guide you, motivate you.
Every journey has a beginning. The journey of truth starts within us, inside us.

Mama told me...


Mama told me I'm a star
As I cried for broken toys
She told me I will get these back
I sat on the swing and fell
I ran and I stumbled
Mama told me
You are a star
You are the brightest star
I searched for an apple
On branches so dead
Coloring them green
In my mind and head
And I became sour
Apple wasn't there, branches were dead
Mama told me I'm a star
My birthday I got no present
No gift to me to say 'I love you'
But someone came in the night,
Hugged me and kissed me on forehead
She told me
I love you my baby
You are the brightest star.
