Sometimes, life seems so unfair, u feel it is just not so right to do that, yet u are forced to do it. Discrimination is about knowing what is right and what is wrong for u, but what would u call those circumstances, which are so wrong according to your heart, yet so right according to your brain and conscious. What would then your discrimination say.
A dove was flying high, enjoying its freedom, the blue skies, the chill air, the green scenaries, she was having the best time of her life, children used to point at her and smile, spreading momentary joy was her best asset! Flying unceasingly in the beautiful sky, touching clouds and smiling around,it seemed that being happy was her whole duty in life.
Suddenly, the sky became overcast with dark clouds, it started lightening and raining so heavily. Poor dove didnt have a way, she was lost, mumma had told her, not to go so far, yet now she was too far gone! She could not trace her way back, so she decided it was time, she found a new way for herself. As she started navigating her way through the rains, she found a home, a dim light and a few humans talking. She joyfully reached the new home. Perched on a branch of a tree near the window, she peeped inside, were there people who would make her their friend and help her on this cold night or would they hurt her and pull her feathers? She was so tired that she fell of the branch and then suddenly the whole world seemed to go dark.
When she opened her eyes, bright rays of sun, welcomed her, she found it difficult to keep her eyes opened, her feathers hurted, she slowly opened her eyes again, and now she found a small boy standing in front of her. He looked at her with lovely eyes, full of love and excitement. He called everyone in his tiny voice, and told them that she was alive. Suddenly a whole lot of small boys and girls entered the room. Soon she was surrounded by strangers, yet the look in their eyes made her feel so much at home. They must all be angels she thought. Mumma had told her, how God sent angels to protect His favourite children. Sure, it was angels who had rescued her that night. A bowl of hot soup was kept in front of her. As she sipped it, she felt a warm gush flow through her body. A warmth of love shown by her angels. Slowly she became friends with all the angels. Time passed by, in the company of her new angels, she forgot how to fly and who she was. So overwhelmed was she by their love, that she considered this her home.
One day as she sat by the window, waiting for her angels to come, she saw a dove, he was so similar to her. He looked at her and smiled, and then flew away. As she watched him fly, she realised there was a time, when gliding in the sky was more than just a passion to her. But she hushed the idea saying, she was more than happy with her young angels. The dove started coming regularly, now she awaited his arrivals, she loved to watch him glide. They would talk of her home, her parents, it seemed so nice to listen to her mother tongue.
Like a dart, it then struck her, how wrong she had been, for her happiness, she had hurt her family so much. It was so much time, since she left home, now it was time to go back. Her angels, called her to play, but now she didnt feel like playing, it was as if the blue skies were calling her, she felt a deep urge to fly back home, to the warm wings of her mumma!
She told her angels, that she wanted to go home, they were startled, they never imagined she would go away. They cried and pleaded with her not to go, but her heart was made, she had decided, now there was no looking back, after all she had some responsiblities as a dove. They started acting strange, they scolded her, for breaking their hearts and called her names. The little boy who loved her the most, fell sick, but one angel of them all, came to her at night, she was sobbing uncontrollably,s he told the angel, I know I m wrong, u are my angels, but I have to go back home, someone awaits my return, the angel smiled back and said, go my child, no one will stop u, soarr high and touch the sky, someday when they all see u flying happily, they will realise, that everyone has a life, love does not bind! With a compassionate and thankful look, the dove looked at the angel, she slowly peeked in to the other angels' room, and teary eyed, she glided away. Her friend now joined her, he held her wings and together they soared the blue skies happily. As soon as she went home, her mother was jubiliant, there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
She sighed, home sweet home, but all thanks to those angels who touched her life!! Whatever she was today, it was only becoz of those angels.

Yaadein!
aankhon mein kaajal sajane chale the, aankhon ki roshni hee chali gayi,
akhiyon se baatein karne chale the, shabdon ki dor humse rooth gayi;
Haathon ke chudiyan kuch kehna chahte the, waqt aane par yun bezubaan ho gayi,
chaahat ki khushi mein khanak rahin thi, kanch hi tho the aakhir tooth gayi;
Pairon ke payal chankaathe chale the, ye bhi naachna bhool gayi,
ghungru ki aawazon se uchalta ye dil, na jaane kiski aawaz ko aaj taras gayi;
Woh pal hee kuch aisa tha jab aap hamare kareeb the, laga zindagi yun muskurate kat jaayegi,lekin waqt ka kya, koi rokh nahin, kise pata tha apne saath aap ko bhi le jaayegi,
woh aankhon ki nami, kisi chehre ko dhundhti hai,
najaane kiske intezaar mein raaton ko roti hai,
Woh tute chudiyan abhi bhi khanakte hain,
najaane kiski aahat inhe abhi bhi satate hain,
Woh payal mano jaise naachna bhool gaye,
najane kiski yaad mein abhi bhi ye ghungru bajte hain;
iraadon ko poore karne chale the hum, bas baatein bankar reh gayin,
waadon ko nibhane chale the hum, bas, yaadein bankar reh gayin!!!

Contentment-A state of Bliss
Have you ever felt inexpressive? That is there is just so much in your heart to express, but language just seems inadequate to express it. You wish to write but you cancel and cross every second word. You wish to dance and express your joy, but your feet refuse to move, for your body, intellect and your heart are simply out of synchrony. As your heart races through its joy and dances in glee, all you can do to express is merely a smile on your face and a tear of gratitude in your eye. I m feeling just the same way at the moment, after hundreds of undo's and backspaces I finally managed to write this blog and am damn sure that at the end of it, i will have a strong inner urge to edit it.
I always used to feel that human intellect is the supreme most, but sometimes life shows us beautiful instances where "Thoughts really cant match our brains" !! It is true, they are faster than light. It is human nature to desire, right from a kid to the oldest man on earth we all have umpteen wishes and desires, but today I realised that at one point of time, maybe for a very short span, probably hours or min or even seconds, life seems just so perfect that we want time to stand still, we feel I could probably leave this world peacefully now, for my innermost desire has been satisfied, and I dont want anything more from life. Of course, after that moment passes, our wish list gets populated again, but that moment, when everything seems perfect is what maybe they call"The Supreme Bliss" !!
Contentment, I have heard is a deal, but it is not such a deal either, it comes at the end of lot of hardwork and a ceiling to temptations, but at the same time I would say it is not definitely not compromise. It is very important to realise what is it on earth that makes you feel contented. Coz, nobody can show us contentment, it is simply a state of peace where the world suddenly looks the best!
I still have a deep urge to edit this blog, so if tomorrow, u find this blog completely changed, you know what happened!! ;)
