The Web Of Desires…..

By


“Mennu ehh vi Chahida, Mennu Oh Vi Chahidaa, Mennu Chahida Chahida Chahida…….”
(I want this, I want That, I want, I want, I want)
A human soul is the slave of his/her desires. As a human, I always am in the need of this and that, and more than my need, it is the want of anything new, anytime and everytime. The human desire is that feeling which makes you crib for something till a point you do not have it. And as soon as you possess the thing, your soul starts cribbing for another desire to be fulfilled.
These desires, range from having a big car, big house, huge money, success and position and a lot more. This desire to have something which you dream, has no end. Once you have one thing you start desiring something bigger. It never cedes away. Just make you restless till you achieve the thing you want.
We often see people unhappy, unsatisfied and complaining about their current life, for the things they do not possess. But no one is seen being thankful for the things they have. This desire is unlimited. If you have all the wealth in this world, you would have the desire of something or the other. No one remains satisfied for long, you too will not be satisfied if you keep running in this mad race of desire. This cobweb of desiring something or the other will not let you calm down, ever.
This means, this cobweb is a deadly disease, a disease without any cure….
What should be done about it? When a doctor is unable to find the cure of some disease or deformity, he/she tries to use the strength of the disease or the deformity to be transformed into a less deadly one, so that a person is harmed to the minimum. If someone’s blood pressure increase without any reason and do not come down, he recommends taking less salt in diet, to neutralize the effect of higher pressure in veins as salt increase the pressure. Similarly, we cannot make our soul free from desires, but we surely can use this disease of cribbing to our benefit, if we start having realistic and useful desires, the desires, which make our personality more favorable. It can be the desire to know everything, to increase our knowledge, to have fluency of language, to be well versed in an art, to be someone who helps everyone, to be a great motivator, to have success, but in a way that it do not harm other people and to have happiness and contentment in life, at last…. And even can have the desire to meet god at spiritual levels, to have their blessings and to seek their support..
By channelizing our desires towards the right thing, we can atleast use this cobweb to the best of our favor and to lead a happy, satisfied and a calm life, which we always dream of…

How corporate professionalism helped me in learning the art of self-appreciation?

By
It’s been a long while that I wrote something for myself. Though being a full-time content writer, busy in playing with words all day long, who people think of as a word-wizard- never short of something to write, I have, of late, fell short of words to define what I feel about my passion. I started off as a content writer & still, I am that- it’s not that my passion has faded, it is still strong and growing every day, still I sometimes feel I am not doing much for myself. Writing every day for brands and companies- fuelling their aspirations to grow more and more through advertisements, e-mailers, marketing collaterals, etc., I have somehow felt guilty of not helping myself much with my growth journey. But is it my fault… or is it just situational? I am not the type who shifts the blame to professional or personal condition, so I take it upon myself for my mistake. I have not been much serious about my journey, passion and efforts. But through my realization, I came up wit...

On a path to glory

By
I have been lost before. in a pool of confusions, that delve inside my head. I have been lost before, in a tide of self-doubt, that crept inside my heart.. I have been lost before, in the guilt of underperforming I have been lost before, at nights with unstoppable mourning Through the years I learned, it does not matter If I am lost, I will surely be found And if no one finds me, I myself will one day walk past this maze To do something worthwhile and to amaze All those who laughed at the time when I was lost All those who created a sense of self-doubt, who made me face this ghost I have learned that the fears are just inside All we have is a beautiful world with opportunities, that is real and is outside So, I rise again from this pool of confusion, Yes I rise again from this guilt and emotion, I know am hard at heart when it comes to the topic of self-achievement But what is an achievement, without a little attitude All I want you is to kno...

Yuun to mein - Hindi Poem

By
After days of being in solitude and calm, my mind took inspiration from these famous lines and my pen started working to complete a piece in the form of a poem.  ' Yuun to mein tanhaa hi tha safar mein Log judte gye karwaan banta gya….' Kuch mili apni si shaksiyatein Aur unke hi sahare me aage bdhta gaya… Sikha mene bahut iss safar mein… Naa jaane kyu fir bhi me pichadta gya… Jo sath nibhate chale sang mere… Unse hi me zindagi jeena sikhta gya… Ek aasra mil sa gya tha uss karvaan ki chaav mein Aisa laga jaise hu mein samundar ko cheerti naav mein Jaana tha naa mene tab Ki ye karvaan bhi chhalava sa hai Is kaarvaan ka sahara sabko hai Par apna yha koi na hai Khud par shaq to kabhi na tha Kabiliyat par ek anjana sa yakin sat ha Koshish ko apni kamm na karunga Apni manzil ko rahunga me dhundhta Kal ko ye kaarvaan rahe na rahe sang mere Manzil ko apni mein paake rahunga Koi ho ya na ho sang sath dene ko Sukoon ki chaav me ek...
