Take a deep breath In and Relax....Let Go!



well... this is what i am feeling to do right now.After two days of suffering from Viral and studying like a maggu in my bed now i feel like relaxing a bit!
Relaxing? that you have been doing for past two days stupid, you would say and i would agree, it is true that my body was relaxing.
But lets slowly take our attention to my miserable mind which was suffering from a fatal why-why disease(as our dear anand ji names it!).And you know sometimes thinking about the mind using the same mind is very interesting.Seems like a dog is running all around a tree to catch his tail.
While thinking for hours i also think that thinking is meaningless and i should drop all thoughts and i should even drop this thought of not thinking anything.
And suddenly i realize surrendering is so simple and i am doing it thousand times a day.Oh buddy! its time to get enlightened now.

Well.. you must be thinking what keeps me thinking so long.
Guys.. its not different than what you think what everyone thinks and what we have been thinking for years. Plans and plans and plans we make to get recognition, to become famous and rich, to be respectable and beloved.Every time we think we follow concepts which we have built for ourselves over years and years.The same corrupted definition of success which keeps us bound.
Its so funny that keep on running after happiness and fun and it always ends with some or the other regret.No, i don't mean it is always so, but it is most of the times. What is that we are running after? We need to think right now.

So i stop thinking.Lets live life to its fullest.A life which is expression of love and joy.Lets dance and make others dance.Let me meet my god in me.
Take a deep breath In and Relax....Let Go!

The Professor's Prophecy


We were 6 or may be 7. As we moved out of the IIT main gate we found arjun singh's big poster stuck on a hoarding just outside IIT.Written 'IIT Bombay welcomes our honorable Education Minister Mr. arjun Singh.' "They will soon be regretting" a voice containing suppressed anger struck our ears. "Why to involve politics in IIT" he continued.I turned back and saw professor PI Iyer's anxious face as though a caring father has seen his son drinking for the first time.I wondered whats the matter, our education minister had been invited for institutes's convocation ceremony, so what.How is it equivalent to involving IIT into politics?
Well, the very next day the convocation ceremony happened and the chief guest was honored with flowers, garlands and claps.
Not more than 2-3 months passed one fine morning we read about Arjun Singh's scheme of reservation in IIT.And then started scene. Every news channel was showing same or similar news. People on the roads were being interviewed.It became hottest news of the nation. And most comic scene could be seen inside the campus where two students were holding a banner in there hands written "1947 Lord Curzon, 2007 arjun Singh.Don't divide our country". Most interestingly one of the student was same who honored Mr. Arjun singh with garlands and flowers on convocation day.
It had to happen and we are suffering.He because of his degraded, politically oriented thinking harmed roots of one of the finest universities of the world.

Now I had all my answers. What Prof. Iyer could see that night was nothing less than indication of an storm coming.
