Pagli Ladki…….

There are times when you think you need to do something about the thoughts coming to your mind……but then you have to wait for the right time to come…….

We can’t just keep on pushing things for future and do nothing in the present. if you have to get something, you need to go for it….

This month has been a bit of uncertain for me….nothing is very clear as to what is in store for the future….but as always, I’m hoping for the best…

 To quote unknown

 “When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.
When funds are low and the debts are high.
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns.
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.

And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst that you must not QUIT”

Sure, we must not quit for we have nothing to lose in life….

I may sound a bit boring tonight….but bear with me…these are the words I don’t speak more often…

June is coming to end and to summarise the month I have to put down this very beautiful creation of Dr. Kumar Viswas:

“Amawas ki kaali raaton me
dil ka darwaja khulta hai
jab dard ki pyali raato me
gum aansu ke sang ghulta hai
jab pichwaare ke kamre me
hum nipat akele hote hain
akele hote hain
jab ghariyan tik tik chalti hain
sab sote hain hum rote hain
jab baar baar dohraane se
saari yaaden chubh jaati hain
jab unch neech samjhaane me
maathe ki nas dukh jaati hain
tab ek pagli larki ke bin
jeena gaddari lagta hai
aur us pagli larki ke bin
marna bhi bhaari lagta hai…………..”

and one more from the same poet

“mai jab bhi tej chalta hun, najaare chut jaate hain
koi jab rup garhta hun to saanse tut jaate hain….
main rota hun to aakar log kandha thapthapate hai
main hansta hun to mujhse log aksar ruth jaate hain”

I really like his way of expression…he is beautifully poised in his words…

May we get to hear more of his creations..

Well, this is all for tonight…

I’ll see you later.

Paris and Isle of Wight trip

I have been visiting places last month and as I said in my last post, I’m here with my account of the Paris trip. What I think is Europe is truly a beautiful place and it has a lot to offer. By visiting 2 or 3 places I can’t boast of seeing the entire Europe, but still Paris is a place of significance. It is rightly said

“An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris”.

Paris is an artistic, romantic city, is known to all and how can I deny the fact….after visiting the city. Actually, you will always feel shortage of time in Paris if you are a visitor and don’t want to miss anything. There are lots and lots and lots of places and streets and monuments and what not ….worth watching…

 

 

I was fortunate to get a chance to visit the city and and just like every other visitor, was amazed by the charm and air. What Paris has to do with Love, you can find in the qoutation by an English painter John Berger:

“Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and, in this, hasn’t changed since the time of Dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman.“

 

Paris has lot of historical, cultural and monumental landmarks of its own. Overall I liked the visit.

 

Last week I visited a beautiful Island in UK – the Isle of Wight. Its a real beautiful island, you can feel the freshness from the picture below.

 

It was a short day trip to the island and we could visit only a part of the entire beauty that the island has to offer. But to say the least, this is a place to cool your nerves and relax after months and years of busy life that we go through. The very moment you reach Island you are refreshed and energised.

Again, this island has a history of its own like the needls park and the Alum bay.

 

In essence, this part of the world has been good to me and I am having good time enjoying natue and history, if not the culture.. For I have to say, I’m missing my home land and its food

Having said these and being an Indian…to quote Will Durrant – an American writer:

“India was the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe’s languages. She was the mother of our philosophy, mother through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics, mother through Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity, mother through village communities of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.”

Hope to come back with much more.

Thanks for reading.
