Life is nothing short of dune bashing as experienced in the vast golden desert of sandy peaks and valleys and mirage of an oasis .Its like peaks of joy,valleys of heartache and hopes of an oasis ...which keep on changing due to the power of the wind and the heat .
This rise and fall is scary and exciting at the same time .There are twists and turns and thrill in the air .Just keep your eyes open during the ride for only by being awake you will live life fully in all its shades .
Some days you’re heaped high up with the wind favoring you and you seem to be in tune with the universe, life sings and flows in the present moment and it makes a lot of sense you feel you are on top of the world .....
Aaj mai upar aasman niche, aaj mai aage zamana hai pichhe ...
Tell me o khuda abb mai kya karu, chalu sidhee kee ultee chalu
But when things get low and the wind blows you down you might become an emotional bundle.That's when you must not give up,but hold on to hope and faith and do all that you can to come back to your center.
Remember you are not your emotions…but as a conscious human you are a luminous and empowered being.You actually have the power and choice to bring the light into any situation that may appear dark and manage them with their fluctuations by not losing your cool while waiting patiently for the wind to change .
Raah pe kante bhikre agar,uspe to phir bhi chalna hai
Shaam chupale suraj magar ,raat ko ek din dhalna hee hai
And then a day will come when there will be no more tears ,no more fears ,no more pain ..only gain ...gain of being away from the uncertainties of life and a peaceful feeling ..but until that day let us hold on to life with smiling faces ,give of ourselves what ever we can and be grateful for all that we have .
Ek din bik jayega, matee ke mol Jag me reh jayenge pyare tere bol
Duje ke hotho ko dekar apne geet Koyee nishanee chhod, phir duniya se dol
Somewhat similar thoughts filled my mind when I went with a lot of excitement on a dune bashing desert safari ride ...
On a thrilling desert safari ride
Aha ! it was dune bashing time
"take the mild one ",said my son
"Oh no ! that's not done "
I said ,"it will be no fun "
I simply had to have my way
hence took the fast one to play
for life had taught me to sway
The jeep swayed speedily up and down
on deep sand caves and huge sand mounds
holding on to each other's hands
with baited breath we laughed and sang
"Oh No ,Oh No ,Go a bit slow "
on being tossed high and low
our stomachs churned hard
and heart beats raced fast
The golden sands of time
were piled up and down
the power of the wind
had shaped their mounds
their ever changing colors
spelling magical wonders
one moment heaped up high
next moment the sand storm
blows away the sand to fly
Sand dances with the wind
a new journey then begins
it happily mixes with new found
tiny tiny sand grains on the ground
embracing each other with love
some piled below and some above
Its then that I suddenly realized
hasn't our life taken the same stride
a rough and tough roller coaster ride
each sway strengthened our drive
each dive taught us to survive
the vagaries of different times
with endurance we crossed many lines
some happy and some so sad
some made us laugh like mad
and still we go on on and on
having emerged reasonably strong
mingling with all who cross our way
trying our level best not to go astray
flowing with the winds of changing time
trying hard to rhythmically chyme
Till an inevitable powerful gale
will take us away from this beautiful jail
with no chance of getting a bail
to be here to watch the worldly sand
and dance with the sweet wind band
so life is short my dear friend
let's relish life at every bend
like the thrill of dune bashing in the sand !!!
