LIFE

Such a heavy topic isn't it?Life..I feel the same.Hehe.My heart tells me life is something which u can't describe & something which u can describe all day long.Different people have different versions of life.Their approach,thinking,maneuver,ideology it is all so distinct.I know for the fact that many people including my family & friends would tell me after reading my blog, gosh Atul your so philosophical please show  us some mercy!I can't stop laughing after that i m still laughing..haha!I feel each of us is different we all have our own ideologies towards dealing with life.There is so much to say it is quite a deep topic actually,it is life after all.

Life is a beautiful struggle.Some make the most of it some don't,some live it some don't.Life is actually quite tough & easy at the same time it is our approach  towards life or thnking.For the fact i know any one can speak a lot about life.Everyone has his or her own story so do I nothing different.Some are optimistic,some pessimists while some are realists.Some are good while some are bad.I chose being hopefully hopeful & being an ever optimist ya many people don't lyk that stuff they would say theorotical thinking  doesnt work neither does being philosophical but it certainly does.I hav always disliked the realists & pessimists.I frankly don't knw what to write here but my heart says so however boring it might be.God & Destiny are two of those things which control our life.Life is seriously tough & brutal for some people at the same time easy & beautiful for others.Life will break u ,make u,bring u down,put u up,knock u down,make u stand the other day,make u cry laugh for reasons unknown to us.I feel life is a philosophy in itself.Yes it is indeed beautiful to understand life itself is a big accomlishment.A famous dialouge from the hit Aamir Khan movie-"behti hui lehron ke saath toh koi bhi ter leta hai lekin sacha insan wohi hai jo lehron ko cheerkar aage badta hai!"The true meaning of life is as u see it.Today wnt be a good day it wont be able to bring the world of happiness for u it might probably break ur heart & would knock u down of your kness everytime but u see that's where u can see the beauty of life.Life always gives us an oppurtunityLife is incomplete without highs and lows.Life always gives u second chance.Life always has a tomorrow.It is easy to say don't take life seriously or ur problems d same way but it is quite a tough thing to do but if u manage it to do so nothing can stop u from being happy then.

Tomorrow you claim what is rightfully yours as they say it.What is life without pain,life without struggle,life without heartbreaks & solitude,yes easier said than done.Sadness creates music in your lyf.It might all same to easy right we all want a life without any obstacles but frankly that isn't the way it works.It is when we are knocked out when we feel of giving up when it all seems lost that God finally enters our life .I feel tough times come with a sole reason to test  ourselves and get tougher coz dats d way life functions ryt?When the going gets tough the tough gets going.What is life without hope,dreams,faith,love nothing.Javed  Akhtar Sahab's lines r really worth listening Dil Aakhir tu kyun rota hai ,yeh jo ghere sanate hai waqt ne sabhi ko hi bate hai thoda ghum hai sabka hissa thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa aaknh teri bekar ji nam hai har pal ek naya mausam hai kyun aise tu pal khota hai dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai!It is rightly said that count your garden by the flowers that grow and not by the leaves that fall.The most important thing is to live life to enjoy it to embrace it with whateva might be in store for u.

We all live only once after all.Nothing is more important than to be happy & trust u being happy isn't tough we can make ourselves happy after all we all are responsible for our own happiness.We have to learn to adapt to every season of life.Things won't happen like we expect them to be,we will keep on losing & losing till we tell ourselves what are we really living here for?It is all planned this way because by breaking us is the only way by which  God can make us.One of the biggest risk one could take is live the life of ur dream i know its tough but it doesnt matter.We must be hurt in order to fail,in order to know & lose in order to gain because some lessons in life are best learned through pain.Miracles happen dey certainly do.We must never give up or call it quits beacause we always have a chance tomorrow some lucky people always have.I never thought i would get a chance or for the matter of fact that i would live.Endless pain & struggle over the years made me quite a disgusting person actually one who wouldn't appreciate life,one who wouldn't seek happiness in all the small things in life.After fighting relentlessly for over 3 years i finally managed to beat death yes i did.I beat physical & mental illness.It had destroyed my completely.I used to pity myself.I was on the wrong trackI thought i wouldn't make it.I went to over 3 hospitlals and over 8 doctors no one could do anything..My world had changed everything looked so tough i was so unhappy i thought i would never survive.I had lost hope but just as i lost hope, God i can say entered my life.I knew that very moment my moment of crisis had served a purpose.It was to make me tough accept the good with the bad,be happy no matter what,restored my faith in God.When i could finally breathe easy after a month after being acutely ill i saw the ray of hope again.It didn't take long i knew life itself knocks u down & then helps u pick urself up.It thought me tough times come to make u tough it arrive to make u wise.It takes only s second for things to get better and it does.Tough times arrive to value little things in life.I was miserable i hav no shame to accept that but for the matter of fact i also survived learned the true meaning of life,learnt that u r solely responsible for ur own happiness.Life is drama it is quite a thrilling adventure i can say.It is beautiful indeed it is.It can get ugly at times but there's a saying everything gets well in the end & if it doesnt it isn't the end.

So people like Shah Rukh Khan said in the movie Kal Ho Na Ho "Jiyo Gayo Muskaro Kya pata kal ho na ho..hehe..It is true actaully.I cannot teach someone who to live his life but i can surely that never loose hope never lose faith,dream big,laugh more cry less because today is the youngest u would be.Being happy is all that matters.Accept joy & sorrows,fall in love,bring a smile on someone's face,do good to others do what makes u happy because u nly live once.Have a beautiful life ahead guys don't give up don't look back coz ders a silver lining ahead listen to your heart & keep moving forward.We all have been in tough situations before and will  alwasys be but we would also get the chance to be happy again.I want to end by quoting famous lines by the Legendary Javed Akhtar Sahab from the movie Mr.India-Zindagi ki yahi reet hai haar ke baad hi jeet ha thode aasun hai thodi hasi aaj ghum hai toh kal hai khushi:)

God Bless everyone

India Shining,Really?

As we all know India is among  the fastest growing economies in recent times it has also been subjected to its fair share of criticism levelled against it and it is rightly so.Yes India as an economy has progressed by leaps & bounds in the field of Information Technology,Service,Tourism among many more but hasn't it degraded as a nation when it comes to crime & sexual harassment of women, unreliable bureaucracy,religious prejudice,killing of girl child,corrupt governance,corporate fruads,there are so many of them can't write all of them the list is endless.

Yes all of the above mentioned problems are faced by almost every country but is India doing enough?Is India really shining i beg to differ my friends.There are people who would still say India is the best country to live in and the people are like they hav never seen or it respects women & treats everyone equally i would say Blah..Blah..Blah.It may sound a bit harsh but yes India isn't shining.We are a nation where nowadays women are only treated as a piece of meat,they are groped & molested in public,brutally raped and still people say India is a place where women are treated with dignity they are holy.This has to be a big joke because if it were true women wouldn't hav been endlessly raped.The people who cry out on roads & burn candles and do all dat stuff i have a problem with them tho most.These retards & moron accept to by bystanders when a crime is committed & when there is a outcry they shout out loud give justice and all,bulshit.If it seriously bothers so many of them why dont they act when they are on the actual crime scene.In India everyone likes to come in public limelight want to watch their faces on television ,shout at the top of their voices,committ an act of violence,kill the weak where are they then?It is a challenge not just to our country but we citizens as well.A country is as good as the people it has.Corrupt Government & Unreliable Bureaucracy has made things worse.Yes there are people who would say that we hav no right to blame others we have look in ourselves first it is correct.But until & unless we start doing that i afraid we cant expect change.If you want the change be the change.Once while returning from college i threw some garbage on the street one of my best friends

 Vinayak picked it up put the garbage in his bag.I was shellshocked and amazed quite literally.I asked him why he did that & he said that u cant expect to good governance unless we ourselves perform our duty.He won my respect for that.It was he who inculcated the feeling that we ourseleves should do our duty with utmost integrity before questioning the integrity of others.He said if i thnk dat some1 else will pick the garbage up for me then dat is foolish.He made me realise if u want the change be the change.He gave me a good old lesson on Governence & Politics  which i had very little knowledge about it was an eye opener.Moving on endless cases have been filed whereby women are raped the brutality is such it cannot be described.But what is being done are the perpetrator being punished is justice being done?I afriad not and it will never and each & every citizen of our nation is to blamed for that.We elect the government we want then how can we blame the government we are ourselves at fault.Public outcry is a healthy sign of revolt but we should make our actions speak louder than words.What are we doing as a nation is good but on a personal front i thnk we are still lagging behind.There are many challenges besides us and instead of accepting them & solving them we ignore them nd blame it on others this is what we hav always done delegating criticism.I may not be able to raise the issue fully or provide the necessary solution for the same but what i do want to say is that we most stop pretending & believing in this Incredible India version of ours.A nation succeeds when it people succeed.I don't see either of them happening.I don't feel this is subjective i am not blaming u me or anyone but all of us until & unless we start doing somethin on our own how little it may be for the nation   we can't expect to progress and expect change.We are weak yes we are if were strong we might hav been better if not perfect.Yes easier said than done but that's what we got to do to if u want d change be d change.Yes it is easier to criticise than to admire but to be frank there is very little of admiring nd a lot more to criticise if women are treated as they are and if we dnt do much.We are equally responsible we r the society nd we r d nation.I know i am not hitting the bull's eye with this but i sincerely feel there is a whole lot we can do make ourselves better thus helping in the good cause of our country. Hope i send across a good message to a few & women can feel free to walk again without fear.Jai Hind!Bharat Mata ki Jai:)

So then here i go my first blog, actually it is the first time i am trying my hand at writing.Kudos to my sis Shweta & my pal Tejas for relentlessly pursuing me to start writing a blog:p
Frankly being d kind of philosophical person that i m i can think and write about almost anything but then i don't want to scare of people reading it!...HaHa..Well the thing that surrounds my mind the most at this time is India's emphatic yet dominant win over Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.It was a fabulous performance by Team India,yes m using d word "Team" because India played as a team as a unit.It was a collective performance by d team.
India won 4-0, yes sir you heard it right!"Brownwash" as we may call it.It was only since 1969-70 that the aussies lost 4 tests on a trot or in a series.One of the worst series ever for the aussies.Legendary commentator & Cricket Pundit Richie Benaud had mentioned it right in the second test when the aussies lost d match to India by an  innings & 135 runs that this signals the death of Australian Cricket.I agree this Aussie team was one of the worst performing ever.Losing to India, a side just a year back whom they had beaten 4-0 lost 0-4 this time around quite suprising. I must say being an avid Indian  Cricket Fan it was really great to  see India finally dominating dictating their own terms.MS Dhoni the man deserves a lot of credit i feel he has been subjected to a lot of unfair criticism in recent times.Agreed we lost 8 matches on a trot to England & Australia but give the man some credit for the way he has brought this team together.He has moulded the youngsters backed them given them confidence you could see that by looking the performaces of young players like Ravichandran Ashwin,Murali Vijay,Ravindra Jadeja,Chateshwar Puajara & so many more of them who hav been  the architect of India's win over the aussies.Not the most competitive Aussie side one would expect to travel to India.None the less it was a great privelge to  see Ashwin & Jadeja bowl in tandem.They nailed it i must say.Outstanding performance by both of them Ashwin deservedly being declared the man  of the series.A series of positives for Team India i must confess.As Sunil Gavaskar summed up India's performance in the series that India had a different hero in each test match they played.It feels quite relaxing now to see that finally India's dependence on The Master has finally decreased unlike the 90's where Sachin was the sole performer of the team.Murali Vijay too played his role in a very stylish fashion hitting two back to back tons.His wristy yet gritty performances hav assured the selectors that they were spot on picking him ahead of stalwarts Sehwag & Gambhir.Vijay has matured by leaps & bounds considering he has got many chances in the past.Pujara the new found at no.3 has been a prolific run scoring machine as well.Vijay & Pujara being the first & second highest run getters in the series dominated by India.

I was spellbounded by Indian Team's performance but i feel the real test awaits this young yet fighting team.Facing the Proteas in their own backyard is a tough assignment i feel.This will surely test their nerves.The real test for the Pujara's,Vijay's.Jadeja's,Ashwin and rest others will start here.Facing the best bowler in the world is no small task.Dale Steyn in the past has rattled the Indian Batting and he will leave no stone unturned to do the same thing this time around.Kallis & Amla are there as usual to make things difficult for India bt none the less with the emergence of fresh talent in Team India i feel we hav a chance of giving the proteas a run for their money it is going to be one cracker of a series.Not to miss the Master....he had a quite series against the aussies but let me tell you he will be back with a bang.When d goin g gets tough the Master gets going.I can assure you he will be the best performing Indian Batsman in the series.I will write in detail about the master some other time anyways Congrats to MS Dhoni & Co for their convincing 4-0 thrashing of the aussies..The Indians gave the aussies a piece of their own medicine..Final scorline India 4-0 Australia.
