Don't Worry and Cling to Hope

We all have times when life feels hard; when we’re frustrated and tired and just want to hide away. If that’s you right now, don’t worry – every caterpillar has to rest to become a butterfly and you’ll soon find your wings again. In the mean time, let your Angels wrap you in theirs. You are so loved.
~Anna Taylor

Sometimes wait is the only thing to do. But never ever leave hope.
"Remember that HOPE is a good thing. May be the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." - Andy Dufrense (The Shawshank Redemption-1994)

Lessons for Life #64

You gotta reach that point from where on you know your life is yours and you only. You cannot blame others for  the things you do or hope for others to do you things. You shouldn't lean on, rely on or blame others for what happens in your life for you only control your life and others don't have the slightest control of it.

The day you realize this is the day your life truly begins. Be sure to live a quality life.   

Change is Constant

If you’re laying in bed wrapped up in sheets of miserable thoughts, go to sleep. If thumbing through old messages only causes your heart to ache and long for something unattainable, erase them. If it hurts to keep everything you’re feeling bottled up inside, let it out. If you’re clinging onto someone who doesn’t treat you like you’re worth the world, Let them go. Because sometimes we choose to believe that things are only indistinguishable shades of gray when in reality, life is more black and white than it seems. If you’re unhappy with the way you are living your life, change it.

Lessons for Life #63

Now this is another great lesson. One can be like a Iceberg in a way that you don't need show your all wonder and splendor. Just show a portion of you. And if anyone is willing to dive deep within you or with you then only he/she deserves to know the true and complete you.

Human characteristics may be deep enough to get the complete grasp of and might be visible fully to those who are close enough to that individual. So next time you make an impression of someone you don't know much about remember that somewhere deep within he/she might have wonderful nature. The same goes for you in a way that your first impression might not be good for others but its not your problem for they don't know you closely and make a bad impression of you is their problem.

Have a great day. :)

A true Friendship

A true friendship doesn’t need daily conversation. It does not assume the worst, even when communication is lacking. Strong friendships survive the storms of this life because they believe the best about each other. As long as the friendship lives in the heart, true friends will never part.

You will definitely agree with all of the above if you have a true friend. This relation help us sail through every problem in our lives and a true friend is always with us no matter what. We all have that one true friend to whom we can turn to anytime.

And I bet you too have one. :)

Lessons for Life #62

It has been a long since last lesson, so the wait is over. Here comes another one. It somehow relates to present condition. :P

So what does it say- there is always an invisible thread connecting those who are destined to meet. But don't you worry about the thread because regardless of time, place, or circumstances you will definitely be together if you are meant to be. The thread may stretch leading to distances among people, or it may tangle but it will never break. The thread is strong enough to make you connected and will bring you together eventually.

So similarly the post will continue to flood in no matter how much time it takes between two posts. Stay connected and be happy.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji

Today is Martyrdom day of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji.

तारीख :- नवंबर 11, 1675.
दोपहर बाद।
स्थान :- दिल्ली का चांदनी चौंक:
लाल किले के सामने :-

मुगलिया हुकूमत की क्रूरता देखने के लिए लोग इकट्ठे हो चुके थे, वो बिल्कुल शांत बैठे थे , प्रभु परमात्मा में लीन। लोगो का जमघट। सब की सांसे अटकी हुई। शर्त के मुताबिक अगर गुरु तेग बहादुर जी इस्लाम कबूल कर लेते है तो फिर सब हिन्दुओं को मुस्लिम बनना होगा बिना किसी जोर जबरदस्ती के। गुरु जी का होंसला तोड़ने के लिए उन्हें बहुत कष्ट दिए गए। तीन महीने से वो कष्टकारी क़ैद में थे। उनके सामने ही उनके सेवादारों भाई दयाला जी , भाई मति दास और उनके ही अनुज भाई सती दास को बहुत कष्ट देकर शहीद किया जा चुका था। लेकिन फिर भी गुरु जी इस्लाम अपनाने के लिए नही माने।

औरंगजेब के लिए भी ये इज्जत का सवाल था , क्या वो गिनती में छोटे से धर्म से हार जायेगा। समस्त हिन्दू समाज की भी सांसे अटकी हुई थी क्या होगा? लेकिन गुरु जी अडोल बैठे रहे। किसी का धर्म खतरे में था धर्म का अस्तित्व खतरे में था। एक धर्म का सब कुछ दांव पे लगा था।हाँ या ना पर सब कुछ निर्भर था। खुद चलके आया था औरगजेब लालकिले से निकल कर सुनहरी मस्जिद के काजी के पास, उसी मस्जिद से कुरान की आयत पढ़ कर यातना देने का फतवा निकलता था..वो मस्जिद आज भी है. गुरुद्वारा शीस गंज, चांदनी चौक दिल्ली के पास पुरे इस्लाम के लिये प्रतिष्ठा का प्रश्न था. आखिरकार जालिम जब उनको झुकाने में कामयाब नही हुए तो जल्लाद की तलवार चल चुकी थी। और प्रकाश अपने स्त्रोत में लीन हो चुका था। ये भारत के इतिहास का एक ऐसा मोड़ था जिसने पुरे हिंदुस्तान का भविष्य बदल के रख दिया। हर दिल में रोष था।

कुछ समय बाद गोबिंद राय जी ने जालिम को उसी के अंदाज़ में जवाब देने के लिए खालसा पंथ का सृजन की। समाज की बुराइओं से लड़ाई ,जोकि गुरु नानक देव जी ने शुरू की थी अब गुरु गोबिंद सिंह जी ने उस लड़ाई को आखिरी रूप दे दिया था। दबा कुचला हुआ निर्बल समाज अब मानसिक रूप से तो परिपक्व हो चूका था लेकिन तलवार उठाना अभी बाकी था। खालसा की स्थापना तो गुरु नानक देव् जी ने पहले चरण के रूप में 15 शताब्दी में ही कर दी थी लेकिन आखरी पड़ाव गुरु गोबिंद सिंह जी ने पूरा किया। जब उन्होंने निर्बल लोगो में आत्मविश्वास जगाया और उनको खालसा बनाया और इज्जत से जीना सिखाया। निर्बल और असहाय की मदद का जो कार्य उन्होंने शुरू किया था वो निर्विघ्न आज भी जारी है। गुरु तेग बहादुर जी जिन्होंने हिन्द की चादर बनकर तिलक और जनेऊ की रक्षा की , उनका एहसान भारत वर्ष को नही भूलना चाहिए । सुधीजन जरा एकांत में बैठकर सोचें अगर गुरु तेग बहादुर जी अपना बलिदान न देते तो हर मंदिर की जगह एक मस्जिद होती और घंटियों की जगह अज़ान सुनायी दे रही होती।

Amazing Message in National Language

दो भाई समुद्र के किनारे टहल रहे थे ,
दोनों के बीच किसी बात को लेकर बेहस होगई, बड़े भाई ने छोटे भाई को थप्पड़ मार दिया ,छोटे भाई ने कुछ नहीं कहा सिर्फ रेत पे लिखा... "आज मेरे बड़े भाई ने मुझे मारा "--

अगले दिन दोनों फिर समुद्र किनारे घूमने के लिए निकले....छोटा भाई समुद्र में नहाने लगा.... अचानक वो डूबने लगा..... बड़े भाई ने उसे बचाया....
छोटे भाई ने पत्थर पे लिखा " आज मेरे भाई ने मुझे बचाया "

बड़े भाई ने पूछा जब मेने तुम्हे मारा तब तुमने रेत पे लिखा और जब तमको बचाया तो पत्थर पे लिखा ऐसा क्यों??

 विवेकशील छोटे भाई ने जवाब दिया -----
जब हमे कोई दुःख दे तो रेत पे लिखना चाहिए ताकि वे जल्दी मिट जाये परन्तु जब कोई हमारे लिए अच्छा करता हे तो हमें पत्थर पर लिखना चाहिए जहा मिट ना पाएं भाव ये हे की हमे अपने साथ हुई बुरी घटना को भूल जाना चाहिए जबकि अच्छी घटना को सदेव याद रखना चाहिए !!

पसन्द आये तो शेयर जरूर करना....:)

Poetry

The following is an epic poem dedicated to college life:-

Kash wo din laut aaye..!!

Jab yaron ki yari thi,

Dosto me simti duniya hmari thi…

Jab puri rat CS khelne ki bimari thi,

Aur din me kharate marna aadat hamari thi.

Jab fail hone par party milti thi,

Aur ache marks lane par mar khakr b treat deni padti thi.

Jab har achi ladki me khud ki girl friend nazar ati thi,

Aur thode tym bd wo hmari bhabi khlati thi.

Jab class bunk karke ladki ko ghumane leke jate the,

Teachers ke boring lecture FB aur wtsapp ka sahare kat jate the.

Jab har rat chote se rum me mehfil jama krti thi,

Aasman chune ki bate hua krti thi.

Jab har gam hasi me tal jata tha,

Par har khusi me GPL ka swad chakna padta tha.

Jab din bahut bade,

Aur sal bahut chote the.

Jab paise the kam par dosto par lutane ka mann krta tha,

Aaj paise h to dost nazar ni ata.

Jab har khusi me dost k sath bottle kholna,

Aur har gam bottle sath mitana acha lgta tha.

Jab dost ki gali me apnapan nazar ata tha,

Tab bina bat ke zor zor se hasne par b maza ata tha.

Jab nite canteen yaaron ka adda hua krta tha,

DS par ladkiyo ke karan bda khracha hua krta tha.

Jab har commited bnda sharif,

Aur single bnda turkhey hua krta tha...

Jab dost ko jankr prblm me fasate the,

Aur fir usi prblm se nikalne me jaan lga jate the.

Jab professors k naye naye nam nikale jate the,

Aur assignment copy krne ke record ban jate the.

Jab bat bat par dosto ki tang khicha krte the,

Aur bina mtlb kisi b bat pr lad jate the.

Jab exam tym me sari creativity jag jati thi,

Aur har game me naye naye record bnane ki aag lag jati thi.

Wo pal ab bahut yaad ate h,

Ankho me ansu aur chre par muskan late h.

Dua krte h tjse ae khuda wo dost aur unki dosti fir se mil jaye,

Zindagi me basi in yaadon ko 1 pechan mil jaye.

Kash wo din fir se laut aye..!

Kash wo din fir se laut aye..!!

A Second Look

This is my second post about this movie. If you don't know then let me tell you that this movie is doing wonders and currently running successfully all over the world. You must go and watch this movie if you haven't.

The following are the links to the music videos of the movie:-

1. Vela Aa Gaya Hai
2. Mittar Pyare Nu
3. Title Track- Chaar Sahibaade
4. Satguru Nanak Pargateya

These are really nice videos, have a look and enjoy. 
You can find the link to the trailer of the movie in my last post about this movie.

Its worth a watch for everyone for it teaches us a lot about Sikh history and the highly regarded values which forms the base for Sikhism. 

Difference between Giving up and Letting go

There is a big difference between giving up and letting go. Letting go means freeing yourself from something that is no longer serving you. It means removing toxic people and belief systems from your life so that you can make room for relationships and ideas that are conducive to your well being and happiness. Giving up reduces your life. Letting go expands it. Giving up is imprisoning. Letting go is liberation. Giving up is self-defeat. Letting go is self-care.So the next time you make the decision to release something or someone that is stifling your happiness and growth, and a person has the audacity to accuse you of giving up or being weak, remind yourself of the difference. Remind yourself that you don’t need anyone’s permission or approval to live your life in the way that feels right. No one has the authority to tell you who to be or how to live.

The world is same for everyone and every kind of people live here. That includes successful and unsuccessful person. But the only difference between these two types is how they see the things on this earth. Apart from that their attitude towards life matters a lot and their attitude makes them who they are.

Successful person will see the bright side of the things whereas unsuccessful person will see only the darkness even if there is only a little bit of it. So try to see positive side of things from now on and you will end up as successful. :)

Lessons for Life #60

Muhammad Ali is the world renowned boxer generally considered among the greatest heavyweights in the sport's history. Lets see what he has to offer:- 

"The service you do for others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth". 

One should consider him/herself blessed to have been born as a human here on earth. So you should do your part by serving others and make your life memorable for others. The time you are about to leave this home, there should be at least one memory which you would be proud of otherwise your life will be nothing more than a waste. Regardless to say the things which make you proud are not you do for yourself but what you did for others.

Its up to you what you make of your time you live on earth and do your best so that you won't regret it in the end. 

Believe in God

If God shuts a door, quit banging on it! Whatever was behind it, wasn’t meant for you. Consider the fact that maybe he closed that door because He knew you were worth so much more.
~Unknown

Believe in God and remember everything done by him has a reason. If he has shut a door, he must have planned something bigger for you. :)

Lessons for Life #59

You know all the answers we seek from the world can be found in ourselves. Somewhere inside us we know a lot more and there is a lot of scope to become better. Independent of the fact how much we try we never gonna reach the best of us. There is always a scope of improvement and we can only become better with every experience in our life. You can never see the best of you because with time you can only become better and thus try to keep improving because there is always the space for that.

So start by believing in yourself and keep transforming in better and stronger version of you.

The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love

The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person – without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.
~ Osho

You see the people who can live alone truly know their inner-self and thus the complete self of them. They don't need others to satiate their needs. A person who knows him/herself fully is in fact capable of almost anything. We can learn a lot from ourselves and that can be used to do anything.

This one is epic. Some people love to help others and try their best to contribute to others problem. But these helping people sometimes face their own problem and so in that struggle they might not be able to help others.

But sometimes these people are able to help other even in that situation and that is their biggest virtue. This type of people are rare and help others no matter what.

Next time you find these type of people, try to see if you can learn something from them or if they can positively influence your life.

Lessons for Life #57

The message in the pic above is a metaphor. It says that to be skillful drivers one needs to drive on difficult roads and not only the straight ones. But actually it wants to say that we don't learn much if the task is simple or easily doable. The more hard the task is, more is the probability that we would push our limits getting to know more of our true inner strengths and thus improving ourselves for the better.

So next time you see something difficult, get ready to explore your unknown inner strengths and knowing the new you each time. :)

Happy Guru Nanak Jayanti

Walking Away

Sometimes walking away has nothing to do with weakness, and everything to do with strength. We walk away not because we want others to realize our worth and value, but because we finally realize our own.

Lessons for Life #56

Time never stops for anybody and the only thing constant here on earth is "Change". Change is one of the  many truths about life. Everything changes with time. So you gotta move on with this life, otherwise you would stuck in a given place with nothing to do as everyone would have moved on except you.  You cannot hold up to something for long enough and eventually you have to give it up because change is bigger than everything and it doesn't allow anything to be constant.

In every situation of your life you definitely have choices to make and it should only be your call and nobody Else's about which choices you make because nobody will know you better. You need to think wisely and make choices that helps you become stronger and drives you towards completness.

Hope this post too contributed somehow towards your intellect. :)

Lessons for Life #55

What do you think is more important Knowledge or Love. Well Knowledge may help you reach to the top in your life but you might me lonely at that position without any loved ones. Whereas on the other hand love will make you reach to the bottom most level in a society not in the sense of your position, but as in your fame. You will be known and loved by people from each and every status of the society for your loving nature will attract others.

Since one day you will be just be a memory, so there love defines the time you live on earth after you die, in memories of others. Also eventually your loving nature will definitely fetch you immense knowledge but not the other way round, knowledge will never guarantee you love.

For the case of talking you might have heard :- "The more I know, the less I speak". A person learns more by listening and not by speaking. So keep your ears ready to listen.

And lastly do you know why are we sent by god to earth. The sole purpose is to serve as an angel to others i.e to help others in any way possible. Here on earth, everyone has an angel and also we act as one for others. We are thus here on earth not to live our lives but to influence lives of other in a positive way.

So one must have heart full of love, the habit of listening to others and a hand willing to help others. :)

Lessons for Life #54

Many of us know this awesome character. Even he has something to teach us. You see we have always, always something to learn from everybody. So lets dwell in his class. :)

Birds which are wonderful creations of God are free to roam around. But they do need rest. So often they sit on the branches and other things for this purpose. Here the lessons comes. At any given point, the branch may break. But the bird is never afraid of that because the bird is confident about the wings. Whenever the branch breaks bird will use it's wings to rise above and will never get hurt.

Similar is the case with everybody on earth, so one need to always believe in him/herself to overcome every situation in the life.

Lessons for Life #53

He is the former President of the world largest democracy, INDIA. He is Dr APJ Abdul Kalam commonly known as the missile man of India. He has given a lot to the nation and needless to say the lessons given by him are good enough to apply into our lives to make it better.

And one of his lessons is about the stories we read be it success or failure. And the person here says that we should not read only success stories but those leading to failure too because success stories will only give us a message about what the success was. But on the other hand failure stories will tell us how the failure occurred and what was wrong in the process so indirectly it removes the possible factors for failure and thus getting us closer to the factors contributing towards success.

If you remember what Thomas A. Edison said when he failed 100 times in his experiment. He said that he is not disheartened because now he knows all the ways of failure and is left with the only way to succeed. So be like this and don't worry if you don't succeed in the first few attempts. You see the taste of success after the failure is even better.
