Please don't sleep

Tired enough. Lie in your bed. Close your eyes. Switch off the lamp. Stop thinking. Breathe deep. Recite verses before you could really go to sleep. Done. Its just half an hour passed you are trying to sleep. Ok think about your day. Your busy routine. Your obligations for tomorrow. Ohhh. I know its tiring and I know it is physically hectic indeed. But concentrate on your sleep. Try a bit more. Ok massage your legs to regulate your blood circulation in lower limbs. Done? Now I am sure you will catch your sleep. So... not sleeping yet.... hmmm... why dont you just apply this tube yes it will give you instant relief. Now cover yourself with some sheet. I hope you will be relieved. I am really sorry for you but its been 1 and a half hours you are just lying. Take this painkiller. And please stop thinking. Just relax. Now I am really worried for you.  I asked you to concentrate on sleeping rather playing games on your phone. I understand that you are not yet able to sleep but this is not the right way. You know you have to wake up early in the morning tomorrow. Ok. Take this relaxant just 3mg ok not more than that. Its 2.30 am. Now I am sure I will not see you awake after few minutes. So I was wrong. Look at the clock its 3am. So I advise you to start writing something. Keep writing unless that most desirable blessing comes to you naturally or some chemical reactions work for you. I advise you DO NOT SLEEP.

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.
