What if you wake up midnight by your phone ringing aloud. You attend the call but the voice on the other side is not clear. You go upstairs to catch the signals and walk through the corridor. At the end of the corridor passage you cross the door to go in open air. You step out and realize it was not a door. It was just a window.

Life of Pi (Few Quotes)


-- “When you've suffered a great deal in life, each additional pain is both unbearable and trifling.”

-- "I wept like a child. Not because I was overwhelmed at having survived, although I was. I was weeping because Richard Parker left me so unceremoniously. It broke my heart. You know my father was right: Richard Parker never saw me as his friend. After all we had been through he didn't even look back. But I have to believe there was more in his eyes than my own reflection staring back at me. I know it, I felt it. Even if I can't prove it. You know, I left so much behind: my family, the zoo, India, Anandi. I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go. But what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye. I was never able to thank my father for all I learned from him. To tell him, without his lessons I would never have survived. I know Richard Parker's a tiger but I wish I had said, "It's over. We survived. Thank you for saving my life. I love you, Richard Parker. You'll always be with me. May God be with you."" #LifeofPi

Futurist

jab koi sawal uljha raha hota hay aur main usay suljhanay ki buhat koshish kr k thak jata hoon tu main khud ko ziada preshan nahi krta. bas phir main bati bujha k so jata hoon. Zindagi ka barra asaan sa formula hay, buhat koshish kro, jaan larra do, phir chorr do. kuch aur kr lo.
main baqqaida namaz nahi parhta. lekin main buhat se molvi aur buhat se namazioN se buhat behtar hoon. meray nazdeek kisi bhi insan ka dil aur us ki izzat sab se muqaddam hay aur main usay zara bhi pamaal nahi honay deta. 
Mera iman hay k maaN ki khidmat wo kunji hay jo seedha seedha jannat mein lay jaye g aur is ka hawala main Hazrat Omer R.A aur Hazrat Owais Qarni R.A k waqiya se leta hooN.
Meri zindagi ki intehaii meraj yehi hay k Allah ne mujhay jannat kamanay ka buhat moqa dia aur meri maaN akhri waqt bhi mujh se buhat khush thi... aur mera Rabb neko karoN k ajar zaya nahi krta.

Be of Gold

Its been since my childhood when I was in Primary School my mother used to say these words many times. (I will try to translate it so that its essence may not get fainted).
 She always used to say "If you keep saying "ban sona, ban sona, ban sona" be of gold!, be of gold!, be of gold! only then it is possible to turn any element into gold. But if you say only once "ban ruppa" be a trash!, it will take no time to turn into a trash. This is how your character is." She advised us, "My children, character needs to be protected, polished, maintained, and nourished with the food of good thoughts. Keep reminding yourself you have to be of gold and keep putting your effort into it and one day you will be. But if you forget this only once and you just try to be a crap, you will see you will become so!"

"escaping is not a solution"

Almost five years back I was told by a chef in Italy, when I reached there after a long tiriring journey in steel ship that it won't help me. It was really a tough and bold step by me. But before I could have relaxed myself in new accommodation he arrived. He in his red uniform and black high chef cap. How can I forget him and his comments. He told me escaping is not a solution. Travelling to the farthest place in the world wouldn't help. The problem is within myself. Which I carry on wherever I go. So even if I have travelled to Rome I will stay restless.

Dreams are not just an illusion. They make suffer those even more who believe in truthfulness of their dreams. Dreaming is a clue, a possibility, an idea, a “may be”, a wish leading to become a desire. But sometimes it is not all that. Sometimes it is only, “God, please don’t!” the goodness or badness of dreams depends upon how close it is to one’s desire. 
Desires are life. Desiring something/ anything gives life a theme, a meaning, a way to act, an objective to achieve and ultimately the key of one’s’ happiness. Every being on the face of earth is set to desire something big, good, bold and meaningful regardless of people thinking their desires little, insignificant, coward and useless. The only thing that matters is how fast you hold them. (Just thinking of a reoccurring dream)
