All You Need Is ... The Rhythm Divine !!!

Today, suddenly the following lyrics started playing in my head -

" All I need is the rhythm divine, Lost in the music, your heart will be mine" - the popular song by Enrique (I had to use Google to find the name of the singer). Don't start imagining a love song sequence...this one was a little off the track (my crab habit - we never talk straight). I started searching for the logic of this song in my life at the moment and realized that somehow it makes sense. When a lot of things start happening in your life together, even if positive...you lose your balance...your sense of rhythm.

 

A life changing event needs to be embraced with open heart, making way for it to cleanse the dirt of the past. It feels so easy because positivity has a way of making hurdles disappear. It makes you see the brightness of the world, the clarity of emotions and with time you tend to forget all that made you cry. At the same time, a tiny part of your soul rebels against this all consuming change, because for some time you lose your bearings and  have to go with the flow. This is the time when the control freak residing inside your head, keeps warning you about going slow. So, what to do?

 

Through personal experience, I would say go with the flow. Sometimes it is better to lose control and let the life decide its own course. It is good to believe in the people around you and accept that hope exists. At the moment, there are times when I feel lost but rather than feeling boggled and harassed, I have rather decided to enjoy the phase, very difficult for me but somehow I have done this. The experience taught me something important  that sometimes give a break to yourself and then seek the rhythm of life again. The divine being up there has something better aligned for you. All you need is the rhythm divine....lost in the feelings...the world around you would shine...(maybe love will also find its way) All you need is time...to find your own rhythm divine.

 

 

P.S. : Find the rhythm of your own and let the life dance in complete abandon of freedom and love. I hope mine doesn't involve real dancing --- I genuinely have two left feet

It's all about Ferrari......moments !!!

I am not writing about Ferrari - the car, for some the penultimate of driving, that lovely piece of machinery that seems to invite you to sit and go for a long drive with or without loved one. Though would love to own and if not possible maybe go for a drive in it. Oh here, I get distracted in the beginning itself but then Ferrari has this affect on many people especially if in brazen red colour.

 

Years ago I was interested in reading the book - "The Monk who sold his Ferrari". So I rushed through the corridors of my school towards the library, where to my utter dismay the librarian refused to issue the book to me. She, very sweetly said, - "First own a Ferrari Rachita, only then you would be able to follow the book." Thus, started my obsession with the car.

 

Slowly, I understood what she meant was not exactly buying the Car, but to first own some materialistic things, the things money can buy, for which you have to shell out notes, things that aren't available for free, things that bring smile on your face, add pride to your stature and make you feel as if you have achieved something in life. Only then one can know what giving them up would mean. How can one know the worth of something that was never theirs.? Some people might be shaking their heads thinking of how shallow I am or maybe that these things do not bring "true happiness". Call me whatever you want (as if I care) but these things form a large part of our so called pseudo true happiness. Don't underestimate the power of money, for only lack of it can teach you its worth.

 

I enjoy buying good clothes, splurging at times on my rare shopping sprees, each time I see a zany footwear I wish to buy it, diamonds attract me, I love eating out in good restaurants, having smart phone is my basic need and so on and I would not be apologizing for enjoying these. At the same time I know that the best things can't be bought - a smile on your family's face, love , friends, a lovely sunset, a walk on the beach and the list if endless. But, then why not combine the best of the two and enjoy the combo meal.

 

At the moment a large part of my life is about enjoying those Ferrari moments - and I plan to do it to the fullest. Don't fool yourself and join me in the ride---it looks great from where I stand.

 

 

P.S : I would surely reach the place where they would not matter but let me find my Ferrari for the time being.

Fingers Crossed

She is feeling liberated
chains of despondency falling apart,
tiny tremors of dreams run 
hesitantly in her mind.

Though things seem better
she is still confused,
Whether to declare or hide
to shout or stay quiet.

Her smiles are more credible.
She talks about good times,
though trust doesn't come easy
Her life has been crazy.
 

Behind the veil of reticence
her eyes shine for future
while her hand at the back
has fingers crossed ...all the time.

Half truths or lies...

I wonder a lot
Sometimes silent, at times
aloud…what hurts me more?
blatant lies or half truths around?
 
I look deep inside to find a reason,
Why at times half hurts more than
full… Why at times it hurts more
when the glass seems full?

Questions surround me on this quest,
Haziness overpowers my vision
at times,… my mind refuses to
accept, the truth, for it hurts.
 
No matter which one hurts me the
most,… a lie or a half truth or both,
They reflect a lack of trust…

A broken relation or a tear in the eye.

Both when come, bring a sigh !

ज़िन्दगी

माना हँसी थोड़ी कम  हैं ,

आँखें भी कुछ नम हैं ,

मगर यकीन करो दोस्तों 

हौसलें अपने बुलन्द हैं। 

 

ज़िंदगी थोड़ी नाराज़ हैं ,

तबीयत कुछ नासाज़ हैं ,

मगर यकीन करो दोस्तों 

मुस्कुराहट हमारी तैयार हैं। 

 

बदले हमारे अंदाज़ हैं ,

वक़्त  की ये अजीब चाल हैं ,

मगर यकीन करो दोस्तों 

राहें अपनी तैयार हैं। 

 

खुदा से एक फरियाद है ,

बदल गए कुछ ख्वाब हैं ,

मगर यकीन  करो दोस्तों 

खुद पे ऐतबार हैं।
