 CREATE YOUR OWN HAPPINESS 

Happiness is not ready made ,It is made by your own  thoughts and actions ,You have to find happiness in yourself first before you can make others happy . Never search for your happiness in others for that may make you feel alone .

So it's  just breathe ,choose ,focus ,believe and happiness will be waiting around the corner .Choose that something  MORE which makes life happy ...

PRACTICE WALKING TOWARDS HAPPINESS 

Best exercise is walking  a lot of 'walking away ' will do your life good 

'Walk away' from arguments that lead you to anger and nowhere..

'Walk away' from people who deliberately put you down...

'Walk away' from any thought that reduces your worth....

'Walk away' from the failures and fears that stifle your dreams..

The more you 'walk away' from things that poison your soul, the happier your life will be !!!

MAKE GOD YOUR BELOVED

 No one is immune to loss of a loved one in life .These times are so tragic and tough that one looses balance for some time. The hardest part is acknowledging you will never see  them again ,the pain keeps coming back again and again . भुलाने की कोशिश करना भी है एक बहाना है याद करने का ( trying to forget is a way of remembering ) By locking oneself away from the world, one chooses to destroy any chance of ever finding happiness.Fate is not our enemy, We are. We cannot control life, but  we can choose what to make of it. " Look inside yourself everything you want is inside you " Surrender to HIM accept happily what you still have ,what he has blessed you with and see the difference .Identify our hidden potentials ,skills and hobbies and hone them to fill your life and life of others with joy .Life is too precious to live in remorse and pain.Make God your beloved ,for the truth is that love is the ultimate  which man aspires for in life to get and to give .So cherish this gift of life and live with love and devotion , discharging responsibilities and spreading smiles .Life will become beautiful once again .I share my thoughts in my hindi poem with an English version of the same .

 मेरे प्यारे परमात्मा 

ज़िन्दगी  के मोड़ पर 
जब हमसफ़र छूट जाते हैं 
आँखों के आँसू  
जब बह बह के सूख जाते हैं 
साँस चलती रहती है पर 
दडकन थम सी जाती है 
सूनी सूनी राहों पर 
दम जब घुटने लगता है
दूर दूर तक जब 
कुछ नज़र आता नहीं 
एहसास  ऐसा होता है जैसे 
ज़िन्दगी रूठ सी गई 
तब ज़िन्दगी ख़ुद अपने 
आग़ोश में ले लेती है 
सहलाती है समझाती है
जीने की राह दिखाती है 
अकेले अाए थे तुम यहाँ 
अकेले ही तुम जाओगे 
तेरा असली प्यारा हमसफ़र 
तेरे दिल में बसा हैै पहले से 
उसे तुम पहचान लो 
अपने अंतरआत्मा को जान लो 
अंदर छुपे परमात्मा को जान लो 
वो सदा तुम्हारे साथ है 
हर ज़िन्दगी  के सैलाब में 
वो ही नैया पार लगाएँगे 
अपने आप को उनपर करदे तू फ़ना 
ज़िन्दगी  बनी रहेगी सदा ख़ुशनुमा 
शुक्राने  और इबादत के गीत गाते रहना सदा 
ज़िन्दगी फिर से मुस्कुराने लग जाएगी 
प्यार के गैहिर्रे समुनदर में सुकून पाएगी !

MAKE GOD YOUR BELOVED 

On the path of life there comes a turn 
when you loose your loved one 
your heart and eyes just cry and cry 
till  they are wrenched absolutely dry 
you continue to breathe 
but your heart beat bequeathes 
lost and  lonely on life's path 
feeling strangled seething with wrath 
loosing life's meaning and your sight 
you imagine life sulking at your plight 
its  then  that life  just hugs you tight ,
soothes your wounds 
endears you not to fight 
but to flow  embracing the tide 
you came here alone
you will go back alone  
but you seem to forget 
your true beloved mate 
resides in your heart 
never  ever to part 
your pure soul sublime 
God is within you all the time 
in this tsunami of life 
just surrender ,let God drive 
silence your storm of thoughts 
have faith and trust in him 
he will open all your knots 
for his love will never die 
love him with gratitude 
you will then overcome 
your bitter attitude,
for he is your true soulmate 
never  will he abandon you 
what ever be your fate 
Listen to his loving voice within 
you will start loving life again 
Spread smiles love and laughter 
life will  become beautiful thereafter :) 

Dedicated to a loving friend who has just passed through a troubled phase in life 

WHY AM I FEELING SO NICE TODAY ?

                  WHY AM I FEELING SO NICE TODAY ? 

“Why are you in such a bad mood today? Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?"  This is an often used phrase  when one  sees a person behaving in a bad mood ,feeling grumpy and making unpleasant faces for no obvious  rhyme or reason . This is because It is considered  to be bad luck to get out of bed on the left side. Therefore, if you got out of bed on the ‘wrong’ side (the left side), it was thought that you would have a very bad day. But you will  all agree that human behavior is ruled by human thoughts and not by the above mentioned superstitious myth .

Waking up in the morning with positive thoughts definitely helps you to reach your full happy potential the whole day long .You feel nice and confident about yourself .So choose your thoughts  the first thing as you wake up in the morning before your thoughts choose you .

Just  celebrate your existence each morning and each moment of life .Your mind is the window through which you see the world. Be  open minded, open hearted, and open handed.  Nothing more is needed. ALL IS WELL ... and so it is. Look up at the sky and say, “Thank you, I will do my best to make this a great day.” Just focus on what truly matters to you in life ..to be happy and at peace .

Wake up every morning with a smile and say to yourself  " Something wonderful is possible today,  today will be a beautiful  day ,today I will not loose my cool ,will not become angry or think or do anything negative ,I will be patient and polite in all my dealings." Smiling is a healing energy.  Always find a reason to smile.  Smiles may or may not add years to your life but smiles  surely add life to your years.  

A consistent positive attitude is the cheapest ‘fountain of youth. You’ve got to dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on Earth. So just be super positive and see the difference it makes in your day the whole day long .You will be wondering "why am I feeling so nice today ? " The reason you will soon realize is that you  chose to  wake up in the morning with  
gratitude in your heart and a mind full of positive thoughts !!! Have a nice day friends it's in your hands😄😄😄 

                  WHY AM I FEELING SO NICE TODAY ?

Why am I feeling so nice today?
Got up at dawn with a song of gratitude on my lips,
Blessed by the early morning golden sun ray,
My mind  danced in bliss and merrily skipped .

Why am I feeling so nice today ?
I smiled and laughed  without any reason ,
My heart was bursting with love all the way 
Oh my God !!! what a silly sweet season .

Why am I feeling so nice today?
Splashed my feet in the rain water puddles,
Jumped in the muddy water  splay and spray,
Rejoiced with children standing in huddles.

Why am I feeling so nice today ?
Gifted away my most cherished pearls 
Prayed for this feeling to never pass away 
Twisted my lips and played with my curls .

 Why am I feeling so nice today?
Hugged the little baby  learning to walk ,
Greeted an old couple strolling away 
Enjoyed the innocent children's sweet talk .

Why am I feeling so nice today?
Abandoned my bike and walked in long strides 
Ventured into the woods and went astray,
Singing with the birds ,with nature by my side .

Why am I feeling so nice today?
Want to love  and laugh more than a dozen score ,
Hunger and thirst seem far far away ,
All I want to do is  what I never did before.

Why am I feeling so nice today ?
My heart is overflowing with joy and bliss 
Thank you God, for this happiness ,I pray.
Life is beautiful with HIS divine soul kiss .

ON THE SEA

ON THE SEA ...


Un anchored  we smoothly sailed along  
surrendering to nature singing a happy song  
adjusting our sails to the winds of time 
with faith in the captain our hearts just chimed.

Was it a ship or a small  fascinating town 
Moving in the vast  ocean up and down 
Happy smiling faces with excitement around,
The waves roaring softly with a welcoming sound.

A group of  chirpy lucky thirteen seniors
Cousins meeting after ages from far and near 
Dining and dancing letting our hair down 
No children around to disapprove and frown .

In the midst of a shimmering strong  Baltic sea 
We  sail feeling  bonded ,awesome and free 
The  silver peaked waves lash  around 
None on the earth own their roaring sound .

The journey started from Copenhagen town 
Denmark the happiest country in the world countdown 
A city of canals and smiling faces for sure 
An enchanting  place to start our exciting tour .

Late night celebrations and a good sleep 
We wake up in Germany with the ships beep 
Beautiful Watermunde and Rosstock we roam 
There is folk dancing singing in the square under the dome .

Our next Port in Estonia is it's picturesque Tallin ,
The kissing sculpture a tribute to love that wins ,
The huge victory Column  and the Freedom  square
Reminds us of  the Russian war and the independence fair .

SaintPetersurg in Russia our most awaited destination ,
Awesome city of Palaces ,Cathedrals  and monuments ,
The majestic  bronze horse with Saint Peter atop ,
The stunning Church on spilled blood was our next  stop .

And now we entered the land of mid nights  sun ,
It's Helsinki in Finland  full of reindeers and flowery fun ,
The huge  white Cathedral where a live band played 
The markets were filled with exotic fruits we craved .

The next was  Stockholm in Sweden our last dream port,
We roamed the  city in a hip hop bus and boat  in great sport 
A mirage of Terracota  monuments  shimmering in the blue sea 
The Vasa shipwreck and the museum  enfolded the mystery .

Alas the last day on the ship was embraced with a sad sigh ,
We had gathered and bonded in the sea under the blue sky ,
We danced and sang  together till we no longer could 
We promised each other to repeat this and we should !!!!!

FREEDOM AND LOVE

FREEDOM AND LOVE 

I floated in the beautiful calm  sea ,
The golden sun shine was blessing me ,
The whistling wind soothed me more 
Telling me I had miles and miles to go .

The blue green sea looked silvery 
The waves bounced around merrily 
This ocean of life taught me to smile 
The current carried me many a miles

Gazing ahead I saw them meet 
The sea and the sky kissed to greet 
They mingled together so beautifully 
Loving and embracing peacefully 

Contentment and bliss overpowered me 
This serene scene  had set me free 
Love and love was all I could see 
I was drowned in joy and ecstasy

AWAKEN OH ! HUMBLENESS

 Awaken oh !
my natural Humbleness 
for god sent me on this earth 
with perfect Humbleness 
on my way I met pride 
just fell for this beautiful bride 
along with her best friend ego 
both took me on a joyful ride 
oh ! I was riding mighty high 
I had nearly touched the sky 
a jolt from above was enough 
I crash landed with no love 
it's then that humility came 
she reminded me of my name 
of my place on this beautiful earth 
of the real purpose of my birth 
to live with humbleness 
with love compassion and kindness 
to live with Gods grace 
and see Gods smiling face 
and that face is yours my friend 
for in my fellowmen 
I see God in the end :) 
Pushpa :)
