Destined 0r Not!

Life was running on fast mode. There was no time for old friends or for new friendships. I was a 8 to 8 machine, as if life was on auto pilot. There was no time to indulge in worthless talks hence there were no arguments. I liked everyone and everyone liked me. Money kept accumulating month after month and year on year. I had enough to live the rest of my life on luxury without being bothered to go to work ever again.

At 26 when people are still finding a purpose in life to me it seemed I have found one and already done with it. I have followed and lived what was a definition of a modern happy life and sadly become one only to find an emptiness a "fullstop".

Everything was just the same, the world kept moving on the way it did. The girl i saw every morning to work, the ticket officer at the station, the receptionist at the office, the sandwich-man at canteen, the news anchor at the 9 'O click news, everything & everyone seemed to be going about their days just the same. Than it sinked in slowly. Like sleep sinks in, on a lazy Saturday afternoon while watching television or reading a book. It was a dream within a dream.

It's either your life is in control of you, or you are in control of your life. But most of the times with most of us its the former. And we say a man got to do what a man got to do and go on creating realities. But than isn't reality a choice. If I didn't choose to write and you didn't choose to read this reality right now between us wouldn't be there. That brings out the question of destiny. Were we destined to choose what we chose. Something tells me no.

'Nanak Aakhya' (In Gurmukhi/Punjabi)

Writer's Note: Guru Nanak was the founder of the Sikh religion who preached about the unity of all religions and existence of one & all pervading GOD.

Thank You !

i fall and fall and fall again

you pick me up every time the same

i sway and sway and sway away

you reach for me in every-way

i talk and talk and talk a lot

not realizing that i was lost

and than in silence you appear

making my worries disappear

from the depths of the heart i thank thee

for yesterdays, today and tomorrows to be

from this life to next, wherever i go

my gratitude for you will forever grow

2 w/\y communication!!

If prayers are my vocals its silence where I hear!

the 'Y' of being!

"The only reason for existence is to evolve in consciousness life on life, birth after birth until we reach the consciousness of 'all for one and one for all', for in essence we are all one in truth and truth is one for us."

writer's note: *ing - vicky bhaiya n me; location - dream world...

i woke up with this dream today that u r flying a MIG (probable) n somehow I am ur co-pilot(not evn in dreams but than) n sitting behind u...n there is sort of a 'bhavishvani'(a voice from eternity) as we r suspended in nowhere 'dont return even if u run out of ur ammunition'(wicked)..than i see shooting stars every where (guessing those were bullets)..n than a realization sinks in that we are on a war to save the world (ehim)..as we move ahead dodging the 'shootin stars' we come to a point which is called the 'heat point'(dont know why :p) and looks like a disk of fire below.. u take the MIG vertically up..we share a look n than u bring it down smashing through the the 'heat point'...it all happens in a moment but somehow in tht tiny moment we are able to eject ourselves from the MIG...(and now here comes the climax)next thing we realize is that we are on some hills which we think is enemy territory...but as we climb our way up we find there a kind of village which mysteriously seems peaceful..while we r still observing (n me trying not to wake up) an old couple passes by us than stops, looks bck n tells us 'not to worry, you are in 1856'!!!

My Prayer

"O the divine light of the universe and creation,
Guide me to thyself & let me be an instrument of thy will."
