Life Cannot Be Same Song And Dance

Life revolves around us like an electric fan in our room. We have its control. You can make it either speed up or slow it down as per your requirement. When life pushes us down, try to speed it up and when things go smooth try to maintain a speed that you feel comfortable in. Sometimes, things go so smooth that you do not want to regulate it and go with the flow but that flow may or may not lead you to the right track.

Acceleration is a must but you must know how to control it. I am in search of such an acceleration right now, I am trying to move from speed 1 to speed 5 as I am feeling the warmth of failures & anxiety. If I don't regulate it, I may never be able to discover my strengths and weakness.

Life cannot be same song & dance, you need to install new software, new applications to upgrade it. If you don't, you'll be struck doing good but not better or the best. Never go for competition or do things out of jealousy, do it for yourself. No matter even you have the lowest education & no money, you can make a difference. Your thoughts makes you rich and not money. Money comes to those who keep their thought clean and work hard to become what they really want. Devote time to do stuff that you like.

If you like being idle, do it. But, then do it to the maximum. There is a saturation point. After that you'll realize or know whether being idle was really a worth or not. Same is the phenomenon with people who smoke & drink. Take one day and smoke and drink to your fullest and if it doesn't do any good, then leave it. We all know intoxication of any kind is dangerous to our health but we still do it may be that God's way to test our patience & mental stress. So to pass it, you need to be strong and face that phase and not give up yourself on drugs or any other substances.

Train Your Emotions To Act By Your Attitude And Not By Your Events Of Life

Train your emotions to act by your attitude and not by your events of life.

The very precise meaning of attitude is "A settled way of thinking or feeling, typically reflected in a person's behavior." For an instance, when I see teenagers around my town, they have an entirely different perspective of attitude. The attitude for them lies in how many friends they have, how much money they have or how many girlfriends they have LOL. Their behavior is the outcome of the things around them but not their thinking or feeling. But, that is what teenagers do because their mind is growing & learning, their feelings are not strong and their emotions are weak.


I was in Bhopal for last two days, its a very beautiful place to visit especially the Lake in the monsoon season. The green grass, water flowing from hilly areas and mountains looks like heaven on earth. I wish our India could be like this everywhere and in every season. Even nature sets an example on how the land can be so beautiful if you take care of it. However, Indian politicians are more concentrated on generating revenues for their home & luxuries. Let's not deviated from the topic and concentrate on this post :)

Now the question arises as what can be the best attitude you can adopt? The answer is simple, you can adopt an attitude of kindness or an attitude of envy. You have the choice here. It simply depend on your behavior towards people around you. A person having an attitude of kindness will have more success in the long run of life. Why? Kindness has its own importance/value/respect which will bring you closer to people not because of your money or status but because of your pure heart. We have so many examples like Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela & many more who work hard to adopt an attitude of kindness and are remembered for centuries. These people weren't born rich but their thoughts, their actions made them the most popular and influential people around the globe.

Remember that attitude of kindness will test you. It's not an easy path. You may have to undergone strong critics from your family, friends & society. But, you have to be think different and stay focus on your thoughts.

Life has its ups and downs but when its compared to a roller coaster like ups & downs, I get afraid. You definitely don't want your life to fall so hard that you start vomiting. The idea should be how to provide stability & consistently rather than just falling down & rising up. Life on a straight line is also boring & monotonous but how about some speed bumps on that straight line.

Goals| Objectives| Circumstances| Levels| Steps

Internet games are getting quite popular especially which are played over social networking websites especially Facebook. Till date, I didn't knew that they can become addiction too :-D. The games we play can also teach us many things and inspire us in many ways.

I wasn't that much fan of these online games as I was always interested in games which have high graphics and an interesting game-play. I still remember playing GTA 4 San Andreas, while I was in school. Whenever the exams used to come nearer, my interest in playing will advance too :-D. I still remember searching for different MODS and cheat codes, when I should be studying. But, thanks to my mother, whose shouts made me pass my exams somehow. Soon, I lost all interest in GTA 4 because I had every cheat code and cleared all the stages and it became boring. This incident made me realize that when you reach the top place with cheating or doing wrong, you get bored. So its better to be where we are, at least there are goals, objectives, circumstances, levels & steps which we can enjoy clearing it with constant practice & honesty. The reward in the end will not be boredom yet a sense of pride.

Nowadays, I am quite interested to play Zynga Poker in Facebook. You can call me a gambler :-D, but I am a poor gambler LOL. What this game taught me that if you bet on things blindly even when you have the greatest hand, you may suffer a loss. So its always better to use head and play strategically rather than just taking blind decisions. Your luck is dependent upon your bet and your bet is dependent upon your mind/thinking. So luck = presence of mind/thoughts. I was a strong believer of luck, but when I have to prove it practically, I cannot do it. Even the luckiest person can have bad luck and vise- versa. So, it is solely dependent upon the circumstances, thoughts, actions and deeds. Being a strong believer in Karma, I cannot skip to mention "deeds".

People often say, listen to your heart but I say listen to your head & do things. A head will analyze things properly than a heart. But, with so much romance in the air & Bollywood, we think its the heart that tell us to do good but it ain't. I agree on one of Osho's quote "Your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions, your sentiments, all are centered in your head. It is just a fallacy to think that your feelings are in the heart. Your heart is just a blood pumping station."

Just FYI, I talk a lot on inspiration but do not get it the other way around that you should wait for an inspiration to come and then you start working. You have to constantly work and I only talk about how to get inspired from small things in everyday life so that you maintain a constant happiness in your doings. :) 

Feel free to write some thoughts and I will be happy to answer them.

How Song Lyrics Inspired Me

I am quite inspired by the artist Bohemia, The Punjabi Rapper.

At first when I started listening to him, I wasn't that much impressed because I wasn't that good in Punjabi language LOL. Well, I am still not that much expert in Punjabi but as it's my mother tongue, I can now understand most of the word very easily.

His songs are like an adrenaline, that can give you feelings filled with both negative & positive thoughts. But, most of his song are based on his personal feelings so when such feeling matches, then surly you can enjoy his songs. For me, his songs added music to my thoughts. I had similar thoughts but there was no music in it. So, for me his lyrics got stuck in my head and now there is no such day when I don't play his songs.

Especially, when you hear the song "What have I learned" featuring Jennifer Filzen and follow the lyrics, you'll surly get an inspiration to do something good. I am sharing a part of the lyrics with you here:

Gham'an da khazana hundi Zindagi
1 2 3 da fasana hundi Zindagi

Aaj meri vaari, kal teri zimmewari
kadi rukdi nai sada jari rendi zindagi

Garib saunde bhuke, amir roti khande, PAR
Aadmi doven bane rabb de hathan de

naale MAUT kise da mazhab ni dekhdi
Jithon vi aande othe wapas jaande saare

Rall mill rahoge te banegi gall,
Ek dooje naal ladna ni masleyan da HUL

Jeda beet geya PAL, oh laut ke ni aanda
JIND ve keemti khazana Jawana!!

You can listen to the song by clicking on the play button of the following video.

It totally focuses on how world treat us before and after death. Sometimes, people realize your worth after you pass away. Well, this thought is very practical. If you remember there was a guy Rohan Rathore, who suffered from cancer & passed away but left a good song which is "Emptiness". So, the inspirational point of view here is create something unique & different and be original in your attempt. Do everything from your heart, don't do it just to gain votes or get applause.

Well, from the first post "What is Life?", if anyone got a little bit of inspiration to do something good, please leave your comment and share your views.

Today, July 10th 2013, was quite a surprised and amazing day. I received a message from none other but Bohemia itself for my blog post. It really made my day. :) So now you notice if you do something without the aim of any reward, you'd be surprised that life starts treating you with more respect.

I am attaching the snapshot here, for the comment I received from "The Punjabi Rapper"...

So, this was the aim behind this post. I will conclude it by a quote from Judy Garland that "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."

Please leave your thoughts on this post and if I can help you in anyway, I'd be more than happy to do it.

What Is Life?

I am not a scientist that can explain you the genetic, biological or chemical factors controlling life. The best part of life is when you are inside your mother's womb. You are safe from the pollution & corruption :D. However, life starts once you emerge out from your mother as a baby.

There is no definition of life but there is a meaning to life. People say you are born for a purpose but I strongly criticize it as life is a beautiful gift, a thought it has no purpose. I often wonder, there are so many religious books around the world based on common thought of  doing good deeds yet we see everyone fighting over the smallest things. Out of 10 people you meet, only 1 will have no motive behind your friendship. So we have the ratio of 1:10 of people who are selfless or not corrupted. If we compare it the total population, we will find that there are many people around the globe who are good people. So now, it totally upon you, where you would like to place yourself?

I would like to share one interesting video, in which you will see, how life rotates based upon your thought and doings.


I always keep this video on my cell phone, it gives me inspiration to do good and one day I shall receive the same. The video is tagged with the name "Kindness Boomerang". I hope you are familiar with boomerang, which you can throw in any direction, will eventually come to you. So remember to put in some good deed in your day today and make a note in your diary and see if something good turns back to you. Sooner or later, it will. It may not come instantly but will come eventually.

Well I was just trying to sleep, but just couldn't as whenever I do something new or start something new, I feel so excited that my sleep just vanishes away. This way I feel that insomnia is a good thing because at night time only, the thoughts gets so vivid and you have more imaginations. The mind at this time is free from work, tensions and other miseries of life. Of course, many people at this time of the day are engaged chit-chatting with their girlfriends and often waste the opportunities to do something creative :D. But, I feel sometimes, such chats & conversations over phone, results in blog like these :D as inspiration can come from anything and from anywhere.

Did I use the word inspiration? Yes I did. So what is your inspiration? There is always a time when in life you feel low and only some kind of inspiration gets you moving. I will really appreciate if you can tell me your inspiration as this can help a lot of depressed people to know the different ways to get over depression, a root cause behind people who die in vain and not realize they can learn from other people. Leave your comment and I will get back to you within 24 hours.

Today, my inspiration is the song "Alive" from the artist "Empire of the Sun" remixed by ZEDD. The music and lyrics, just pushed me to do something new and spend some time in doing something original and creative. You can click here to listen to the song. This song can be a little nuisance for the people who love slow music, but its worth a try. For those who didn't enjoy the music, here are few lines from the song:

"Freedom is within you
Giving makes us feel good
Hello to our people
Say hello to the future
Love you every minute cause you make me feel so alive, alive."

So you see how inspiration is hidden in such small things. You just need to open up and try and you'd definitely get success.
