The world is ending in 2012

Just heard that the world is ending in 2012
And yesterday I felt life is long!!

Oh, so i need to hurry up. Wrap up my stuff from here.
What all should i take along? What all should I leave?
How many apologies do I owe? and how many forgiveness due?
How many more moments to gather before I go?

That cake fudge I sacrificed last Saturday.. for health and fitness sake,
That brooding over trivial things...
Those extra hours at office, the friends invite to dinner that I missed,
Those calls which I had to make, to know if my parents did well,
Those grands that I saved, foregoing that beautiful dress..

Alas Alas Alas....! What do I do
The world is now coming to an end.
So much could have been done, and how much more lost.
Yesterday I felt life was long.
Today, I donot know.

Let something go in vain..

All's fair in love and war..

But in life?

The Art of Loving Unconditionally

In the last month, they would have screened this movie "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" multiple times. Every time I catch a glimpse of it, I am forced to give a thought to the possible reality of such sacrifices in real life. Then I dispose it off, thinking all such cinematic stories have an element of fiction, rather a major one. Because real life is harsher, and also more practical. Here there are no Gods. Here there are only truths.

Unconditional love. For me a concept easily described, Very tough to follow. As a matter of fact , we all do things, in expectation of some return and putting expectations behind, is not easy.

The "Main de doon aur kuch na loon" is a great phrase to find place in poems, but it needs a strong mind and a devoted heart to place no conditions, no expectations in relationships. Human beings want - they want in return - the respect that they give, the love that they show, the affection they bestow, the place that they deserve, the security, the attention and all the rest which springs from a good and strong relationship.

And those who donot want any of these are indeed godly.

I am very earthly. And you?
