To Life!

This is for "Dead Poets Society", because it teaches us the true meaning of life. We have suddenly become so engraved in this social structure that we have killed the true self. We live and look and think of what the society wants us to be. And then we float messages saying things have changed since we were kids.Is it the environment or is it just our perception? Haven't we killed our vision, our view and our soul to be what others want us to be. So here is, " Oh Captain, My Captain" because that movie has inspired me to look at the world as I see it!

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;   
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;   
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,   
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:   
    But O heart! heart! heart!             
      O the bleeding drops of red,   
        Where on the deck my Captain lies,   
          Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;   
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;      
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;   
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;   
    Here Captain! dear father!   
      This arm beneath your head;   
        It is some dream that on the deck,      
          You’ve fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;   
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;   
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;   
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;      
    Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!   
      But I, with mournful tread,   
        Walk the deck my Captain lies,   
          Fallen cold and dead.

Chal Daaru Peete Hai!

Samay se chura kar kuchh waqt, Zindagi jeete hai. Chal daaru peete hai... Wo sapno ki chadar jo fat gayi hai, Nashe me hi sahi, Aaj usko seete hai, Chal daaru peete hai... Usko bata do ki ab aur intezar nahi uska, Uske intezar me na jane kitne din, mahine, saal bus yun hi beete hai, Chal daru peete hai... Zindagi me hasil karne the jo mukaam, sharab k nashe me hi sahi, Aaj unhe jeete hai... Chal daru peete hai... Gamon Ko chipa kar khusiyan batein Chehare pe hasi ka ek aur nakab pahne.. Chal daru pite hai.... Yaadon ki baarat me khuch pal bitate hain Thoda thoda yaad kartein hain... Chal daru pite hain... Khuch pal ke liye he sahi  Samay ko dokha detein hai. Chal daru piten hain Written By an Unkown Writer!! But must say "Chal Daaru Peete Hai!"

Kashmiri Folk

As time changes, our tastes and preferences also tend to change. And in this evolving environment we often forget where we belong and leave it far behind. I enjoy music and believe in its powers, and honestly prefer to hear more of the western music than the Indian Pop and Bollywood styles. But when I got a chance to hear The Sarod, The Satvik Veena and some other folk performances, I couldn't realize what all I was missing and how less I knew. When I joined Spic Macay, I never thought that it would be such a lively experience. The melodies that these instruments bring forth are definite to calm your senses. The music they produce is deemed to take you into deep meditation and relax your soul. When I think of Kashmir, I imagine beautiful valleys, glowing river and fantastic view, and a little turmoil due to political debacle. But when I heard their folk music, it was a totally new experience. It had passion, smoothness and energy,so much so, that girls listening to the mu

Perception

Though not that frequently used, perception is in the center of everything. You are a pessimist or an optimist based on your perception of things and situations. There is a lot of stress in human life, from what I hear, a lot medical conditions are also caused by stress. What is the solution? How can you relieve stress? I believe most of you would agree that the best way to relieve stress is to either rest or meditate. But consider this, another way to relieve stress is to change your perception! Sit back, and look at the situation that is the root cause of havoc in your life from a different point of view. If it is difficult for you to do it, then talk to someone who can give you a whole new prospective. The reason I am saying this is because, it has actually helped me and at times I believe helped some of my friends who share their life problems with me. To give it more weight, I'll share a recent inecedent. I lost a major client. All of sudden my 70% income was gone. Everyo
