One Day When Sun Forgets To rise....!!....

One day flamboyant “Sun” after returning late from the night party of the “Stars” in the galaxy “Milky Way" forgets to wake up early in the morning.......

The sunny “Sun” was tired. As at moonlit night party, the stylish music-lover “Sun” tapped his shiny feet to the rhythmic beats of windy “Storm” producing vibrant music at full volume..........

The planets of the entire galaxy were invited to the scintillating starry night party...........

The Sun’s costume was illuminating with the aesthetic yellow color of brightness, glory and grandeur......

The sunny guy appeared as a heart-throb with whom every “Galaxy” would like to fall in love with...........

“Mercury” seems to be extremely close and touched by the Sun's lustrous presence. And “Saturn” with his glowing luminous seven fashionable rings caught the eyes of hundreds of asteroids and meteorites.......

“Universe” wrapped in his blue ornamented gown welcomed each and every streak of light with equal gratitude. And the blue “Sky” appeared as an "Abode of Unending Colorful Lights"...........

                                   

All Planets, Stars, Asteroids and Meteors danced along with each other hand in hand. And in the corner of this glittery eye-candy view, one cannot miss the glimpse of “Sun” and “Moon” the ultimate best friends, romping together in the party with full intensity. What an amazing scene.....!!...

The “Moon” appeared "cold" and "soothing" in his icy blue glittery robe and it appeared as if all the Stars of the Night have come around him just to add-on to his serene smartness..........

Ah......what an awesome scene........!!.......

And the party continued till late hours in full swing…!!...

By then it's too late and Sun, the early riser in his dreamy state forgets his ultimate job of waking the world. What.....what........??.....yes....yes.....it's the truth......the sun forgets to rise in the morning….

Believe me........!!..........

“Sun”, "the ball of fire in the sky" forgets to wake up early in the morning......

As he sleeps the entire planet “Earth” sleeps waiting for His vibrant trumpet of light to blow its clarion of bright glowing rays and arouse every living entity with a blow.

Without the “Sun” every “earthly creature” seems lifeless.....

Therefore, all the living creatures of the planet decided to file a complaint against the culprit “Sun” in the Star department of galaxy Milky Way.  A complaint was lodged against sleepy Sun and immediate action in response to complaint was taken by the Starry Knights......

And the entire task-force of stars reached Sun's "hot place".......

They then took out their watery weapons out and direct it towards the sweet sleepy Sun...........

The Director General of Stars, the Moon shouted "fire" and the cold splash of luminous water was thrown on the Sun's hot body.............

Sun got dazzled with such unexpected action......and rubbing his glittery eyes woke up in utmost hesitation. Poor fellow I must say.........!!!.....

No sooner......

The blanket of darkness was washed away by the vibrant radiance of sunny refreshing rays yawning.......... "Good Morning"....in loud but rather sleepy state.............ha-ha.....!!......

"Empty little stomachs dancing happily on the rhythmic beats of hunger"

                                         

                                 
Suddenly the train stopped, jerking all its passengers’ to-and-fro in utmost hustle-bustle.

..."Bang".... my head goes on the cold frosty glass-window of the train.

It was a wintry cold morning and clouds of dewy fog blitzed the atmosphere with the smell of cold freshness. And one could feel the cool refreshing fragrance of the morning fog entering their nose unrestricted. Sun as usual, could hardly find His way amid all this confusion.

                                     

And I, as a happy going lark sipping my favorite cappuccino cleared the fog on my window to get a cool glimpse of splendid morning sunshine. My eyes rolled in all direction and I cherished every bit of nature for its vibrant beauty and colors.

But, a midst all this, suddenly my eyes fell on a group of small little kids of nearby villages, outside my train.

                                   

Those little young boys were wrapped in tethered clothes on that damn cold wintry morning. They were laughing and dancing in full excitement. But too much of my amazement, I was not able to understand why these poor little kids were so happy.

I was really fantasized by this charismatic scene. And in a strong attempt to find the real mystery, I strained my eyes once again on those happy tiny creatures. I was not able to see them clearly as fog was thick and intense. But still, I attempted hard to catch their slightest glimpse.

And what I saw was really touching and it nearly brought tears in my eyes.

You all must be wondering, why one would cry on seeing other's happy.....??....

But the real reason for my tears was those little young kids dancing happily in excitement.

                                     

Yes, my friends.

The little kids who were anxiously waiting for our train to stop.

And to much of my amazement the moment our train came to a halt they just ran towards us excitedly.

But why these tiny tots were running towards our train...??

Why there is so much enthusiasm in their poor little hearts...??..

What they are looking for...??...

Such topsy-turvy questions just perplexed my mind from all directions.

But in no delay I got all my answers........

                                   

“Intense hunger” and “acute starvation” is causing these kids to behave in such a way.

...Believe me..!!...

These acute waves of "hunger" and "starvation" created rhythmic beats of happiness in them when they see empty wrappers of food items, chips, wafers, lays and left-over’s, etc. thrown out of the train windows by the train kitchen crew and passengers travelling in the train.

And the moment, those colorful empty wrappers and litter is thrown out of the window-panes. They come all the way running in a strong hope that today the hunger in their burning empty- little stomachs would surely be satisfied. They then turn those empty wrappers upside down in utmost haste, in a hope to satisfy their appetite with the left-out tiniest bits of food and chips in them.

And if by chance in their hunger hunt, they get a slightest left over in those thrown-out empty packets. Then they just pounce upon it and end up sharing even the tiniest bit among each other. And the moment these tiny food bits touched their flickering tongues, they rejoiced that short-lived flavors by dancing to the rhythmic beats of hunger in absolute joy and happiness. The scene seems as if they at last, got a victory for which they were fiercely waiting for so long.

Their twinkling little eyes touched my heart and soul to the core. And it was that day when I truly realized the importance of even the tiniest bit of food. What I felt was, this was not only the matter of few hungry stomachs but it indirectly puts a question on the entire humanity.

Yes, humanity my friend.

I want to ask you what kind of inhuman world we are creating. Why can’t we give away a part of our luxuries to those who needed it the most? Why we have become so insensitive, ruthless and cruel in our outlooks. Where have our humanity gone away? Why can’t we see pain in the eyes of these poor little souls waiting for relief? What a disgusting ugly scene? I must say.

Is it humanity or cruelty...?? I ask you...

Why can't this hunger, this intense starvation can be curbed completely.....??....

Why a small little child is made to sleep empty stomach at night ...??..

Why their innocent childhoods are spent in finding tiniest bits of food in those empty thrown out packets....??..

Are they not humans...?? ...or

Are we not humans….??...

Thus, this is a matter of utter disgust and society as a whole is responsible for it. Unfortunately, rich is becoming richer and poor is becoming poorer. And seeing such saddening sight, I hit my fist on the glass in sheer disgust and decided to provide the slightest little help I can provide to those hungry little kids.

I quickly opened my green little bag and instantly, took out all the unpacked food items, fruits, lays, some chocolates, biscuits, cookies and muffins I was carrying for this long journey. I hurriedly, put all these items in small poly-bag and ran towards the train exit door. I could feel my heart dabbing against its wall at full pace.

And the moment, I leaned against the door to give that food polythene in my hand to those hungry little angles, they just ran towards me. They all came near the door and controlling their breaths asked me in full excitement.

“Is it for us Didi Ji....” ??....

And I just nodded smilingly......

Then they without much adieu took the poly-bag and hurriedly opened it. And the moment they opened the poly-bag, they were all amazed at the scene as this time what they saw was unusual.

Unpacked filled new food packets instead, of thrown away empty packets which they collect from garbage daily.

And, on seeing those filled packets tears rolled down their eyes and they gladly showered all kind of blessings on me which I could feel from their glittery little eyes staring me continuously in full thankfulness.

They once again danced happily......but this time not on the rhythmic beats of hunger but on the hip-hop beats of happy little hearts......ha-ha..!!.

Once again the engine blew its last whistle and train jerked me hard but this time what matters me most was not the beautiful wintry sky outside but those happy little hearts waving good-bye to me in full pace.

I too waved to them in full response till their sight once again got lost in that thick fog of starvation ......waiting for next train to pass through their way,,,,,,

"What others think of me?"

Remember that funny moment when sitting in a restaurant you spent some time staring that South Indian dosa in your platter thinking whether to eat it with your hands or with those sword-like cutlery . But after giving a long thought, you make your mind and stick to those quirky sophisticated folks and knife holding them tight as you are concerned that-

                                                              

"what others would think of me if .....??.......??......"

                                                                     

Though nobody in this world pay least heed to what others is doing but still this unwanted concern has become so much a part of our everyday lives.

And there's a huge list of do's and don'ts forever and wherever we go. Therefore, it seems as if our entire looks, appearance, lifestyle, eating habits, behavior, language and even how we walk and how we talk entirely depends on what others think of us?

From day to night the one and only question that haunts our mind is-
"What others think of me”? So whether we are on social networking site or in real life situation, this question has become a major threat to our happy lives.

                                               

                                   

    

People often spend their days, editing and uploading their perfect profile picture on face book. As they are more concerned about what others think of them. They wanted to look picture-perfect and thus, keep on staring their photos asking themselves whether they are looking bold or beautiful, slim or fat, etc.etc. They give least attention to the most important fact that-
what they think and feel about themselves....??
I really feel bad for you people who leave your own happiness for the pleasure of others.

You are in a way inviting others saying-
hey you out there, I give you an official right to decide my life.

Thus, it's you who actually loses pleasure in what you think about yourself and all the time depresses yourself on the thought of what others think of you?

What an unfortunate sad story of yours is this? 

Can you please tell me? Who are others to decide what your life would be?

Give away such kind of attitude forever and rediscover the feeling of “I” in you.

   

"I" am "myself" that "real self" and no one on this earth can alter my true definition of me, mine, myself as it is eternal.

Let the people think what they want? Why you are concerned? Let them believe what they like. Why there's need for you to ruin your happiness for the sake of others?

As nobody can ever change other's way of thinking and the reason is -"every individual have his own way of seeing things."So howsoever good or bad you are people always have something to say.
Remember that other day, when you were not properly dressed and all of a sudden met some of your close ones.  There was lot of hesitation in your attitude. Though he/she didn't notices your appearance but still on returning home you immediately ran towards the mirror and checking your clothes asked yourself- “what would they think of me? I am so badly dressed today.”  In such instance you are not really embarrassed because you didn't dressed properly but what really haunts you is what others would think of you?

Unfortunately, this tricky question "what others think of me?" is really spoiling the real "me" and making it complicated. Thus, I really want to ask-

Where is that real "me" signifying your truthful appearance, goodness and simplicity free from all kinds of artificiality. Where is that uniqueness in you that don’t even care of what others think of you?

                                             

                                             

And one similar case is when you see that red swollen pimple on your face, you strictly deny going out of your place just because you are concerned what other's would think of you?

And not just this, on one similar occasion is when you score low percentage in your class/college; you keep on hiding your score-card and never wanted your bad marks to be disclosed in-front of others. Such attitude is not because you are really ashamed that you didn't worked hard but it's just because you are really afraid what others might think of you? And would treat you as a failure and dump for sure.

                                                                

                               

It’s time to re-discover the true essence of life existing in you. So search for yourself, the real “you” and tell yourself whatever you are today is real “you”. And thus, looking in the mirror speak confidently to yourself-" yes, it's "me". Yeah, that real "self" and nobody on this earth could ever copy this real "me" in my personality as it is eternal and exclusively my creation.

So from today, say good-bye to this fake virtual world of artificiality based on others liking, thinking and feed backs. Rather it’s now a golden moment to create a real happy world of truth and innocence, spreading smiles illuminating million lives.

Are you really afraid?

                                                        Are you really afraid?

Are you afraid of losing?

Are you afraid of failure?

Are you afraid of adversities in life?

Are you afraid of struggles and hardships?

If your answer is yes, then unfortunately, your life is a miserable one. As one who believes that he will lose would definitely lose but once you start believing, you could win and defeat all the miseries, the victory would surely be yours. So here goes the path for bringing transformation in your life. The eternal way, that leads to a successful life away from all fears and despair. 

                                   
The first and foremost idea to bring about a transformation is- change your attitude. If you are not a winner it’s okay, but at least you could think like a winner.

Give away all your negative thoughts and fears of failure and losses. And think that life has given you challenges, so that you could grow and learn from them without getting afraid.

                                     

Your fearful thoughts only results in failure, downfall and defeats. And with such attitude you can do nothing in your life which is getting bad to worse. Your life would be a lost battle and your plight would be no better than a defeated gladiator crying on his miserable state. Therefore, it is “you” who is really responsible for all this mess. No need to curse your life for your present condition as it is you, the real culprit. So it’s a high time, to bring about a real change in you.

                                           

Have you ever seen an ant with a small sugar crystal in its mouth, falling again and again in its repeated attempts of climbing up the wall..??.                                                                       

And even after falling so many times, it continues climbing up the wall and finally, after long hours of struggle succeeds in its attempt.

                                          

What do you have to say about ant’s strong spirit and will-power? Have you ever thought of drawing a parallelism between ant’s life and yours after seeing such sight ample of times in your life? Your answer would be no for sure.

You know why?

It’s because you are afraid of failure and repeated attempts.

Many times in life you too keep on falling again and again. But my dear, life is not about losing or remaining succumbed to failure and defeat. It’s about a strong belief, a belief in your caliber and capacity to come back with a bang and win the lost battle with your high spirits of never giving up. It's about a strong will reminding you again and again that-

“I can do it, I will do it and I must do it.”

A strong belief in your work and capacity would definitely leads to an accomplishment of even the toughest goal of your life, you never thought of. Such positive attitude would result in a charismatic win, away from the dark clouds of failure.

Never ever give up just because you are afraid to move forward or you have failed on several occasions. In order to gain the level of confidence you want, you have to stop thinking what other people think about you. You are coming to learn, having the right attitude is half the battle won. So from today, throw away all your fears and phobias of losing, in order to lead a happy life.

Failure is not the end of life. If taken in a positive way, it is like a first break of dawn, after prolonged hours of darkness which gives us zeal to fight back with utmost guts. How would you cherish a win in your life if you never get defeated? Think and then answer.

                                      

Failure is a stepping stone to success, if you take it positively. It helps in eradicating mistakes made earlier and makes us aware of right kind of technique necessary for achieving success. Failure and success lies in your own instincts and depends very much on how you look upon situations that befall upon you in life. So always stay positive.

Usain Bolt would have never been world's fastest man if he would have been afraid of failure. He has taken all the negative feed-backs positively, to turn his life from normal to an extra-ordinary glorious one. So in other words, it all lies within you and in your mind, what you want out of your life. Another such great example is- Michael Phelps, who by overcoming his deepest fears and abnormality, accomplish a golden winning streak that is truly phenomenal.

                                          

If you really want to win and accomplish something great like these iconic figures, then overcome all your anxieties and fears. Believe me you, by adopting such kind of attitude you would surely experience a change never felt before.
                                           

I still remember, the great quote spoken by sensational tennis player Maria Sharapova, after winning a Grand slam: "Champions takes chances, pressure is privilege”.                 

You could surely learn a lesson for life from these great words spoken by her. 

Be a fighter, take chances and enjoy pressures which life loads on you and it is only then, you would emerge as a winner conquering the world, with your positivism. Life too is a complex sport juxtaposed with everyday wins and losses. If you play it wisely and strongly then you are the true champion but if you are afraid of failure, then you are the biggest loser. So, choice is yours.

No matter how many times you get defeated. But if you have the real strength and courage to bear all the adversities of life, then life would surely bless you with divine victory to be cherished life-long. A true fighter knows how to win a battle.

“One who wants to win knows how to win”. Make winning your habit and only then you would come out as a victor in this world of unending competition.

Never get afraid of failure. Failure is like an evil spirit, frightening you all the time but could be destroyed completely by your strong and divine spirit to win. So keep smiling and face every fear of your life strongly, for embracing victory in near future as life is all about winning, by conquering your deepest fears.

When was the last time...??...

                                                           When was the last time?

                                                         

    

Ah..!!..When was the last time you woke up early in the morning just to feel the warmth of vibrant sunrise?

Do you actually remember the lovely monsoon day, when you used to jerk the green rainy tree hard, just to feel the refreshing cold drops of rain on you?

                                             
                                                              

And gone are those lovely nights of illuminating joy. When in dimly lit moonlight sitting in your balcony you used to count those twinkling little stars , those endless lights of happiness in full excitement.
I ask you all, where have those lovely and eternal days of innocence and happiness have gone away? That peaceful time of utmost bliss, solace and joy away from the hustle-bustle of your 

fast-track life......!!.....
                                          

  

Again I want to ask you all – “do you still remember that last time?”

When you hugged your parents tight telling them-"mom-dad you are the best "...and kissing them....thanked them, those great eternal God figures for all the love, affection and care they shed on you throughout their lives.

                                            

Do you still remember that one last time? 
When you after spending a day of vacation with your family lavishly, took out some moments out of your precious time, just to press the legs of your elderly mom/dad and grandpa/grandma at home......and derive eternal joy from these golden moments, in the form of their unending blessings. No, I guess.

                                         

My heart can’t stop popping up the same question-when was the last time?
You said the word "sorry" just to relieve the pain of one you hurt hard, for no reason. 

I ask you- when was the last time you cried seeing the pain in other’s eye? 

Remember? No, for sure….as playing with people’s feeling and laughing in other’s sorrows has become your nature.

Then how can I expect from you all that you still remember that one last time, when you said "thank you" to your loved ones for all the good they have done to you. When was the last time you prayed just to say thank you? Ah! Saying thanks is not your cup of tea, I guess…..

                                             

In this fast paced life of expectations and their early fulfillment, you have become ignorant towards the kind feelings and emotions of love and respect. You have become so much indulged in your selfish pursuits that you hardly left with time to recall that one last time, that one peaceful moment of bliss and joy, when you actually touched the eternal bosom of happiness.

Unfortunately, you have forgotten the real essence of life that lies in the small joyous moments of happiness spend with your loved ones. The actual pleasure truly lies in those lively moments when you used to sing and dance in the cold chilly rain without being worried of anything. Gone are those days of vibrant smile, when you used to play in sand, muddying your hands just to build those lovely houses of your dreams, without any due consideration of world around you?

The feeling that arouse in my heart seeing such pathetic scene is-                                         

"greater you are moving towards modernity, greater you are distancing yourself from the small happiness of life.” Don’t you realize that you have forgotten how to smile and laugh to the fullest of your heart, in fear of this sophisticated lifestyle of yours? Thus, once again the same question arises.-when was the last time you laughed to the core of your heart without caring who is watching you?
                                  

Even the lovely colors and beauty of nature is being ignored by you, just because of your never ending lists of aims and ambitions you hold in life. And you actually ask yourself-

“when was the last time I saw that colorful rainy rainbow from my office window sipping my favorite cappuccino?”

   

                                        

So what I really feel is-                                                                                                                   

“Enough of remembering this one last time. Instead, it's a high time for you to make every moment of your life special and memorable so that there's no need to hit your neurons hard, just to remember that "one last time".

Life is all about enjoying, cherishing and memorizing each and every moment to the fullest. 

So my friend, when was the last time you tasted the real essence of your life, just to feel the positive transformation changing your life forever…??...
