“The secret of health for both the mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, not to anticipate troubles, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”
- Buddha
All of us know that happiness is not experienced in the past or in the future. It's always experienced in the MOMENT (Filhaal)! If we have wait to be happy sometime in the future, we might be waiting a very, very, very long time.....
.........Aur yeh dil bole......
Phela se likha kuch b nahi,Roj naya kuch likthi hai tu,
Jo b likha hai, Dil se jiya hai!
Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de...
Masoom c husi;
Bewaja hi kabhi hoton pe khil jathi hai,
Anjaan c kushi,
Behthi hui kabhi sahil se mil jathi hai,
Yeh anjaana sa durr.. ajnabi hai; magar Khoobsurat hai! Jee lene de!
Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de...
Dil he mein rehta hai
Ankhon mein behta hai;
Kachaa se ek khwaab hai...
Lugtha sawal hai,shayad jawaab hai;
Dil fir b betaab hai
Yeh sukoon hai tho hai; Yeh junoon hai tho hai! Jee lene de!
Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de..
“Yesterday is ashes; tomorrow wood. Only today does the fire burn brightly.”

Life is really too short for regrets....
Life is really too short for regrets....
To use a well known phrase: We forget to pause long enough to smell the roses.
Date: 21st June 2009
Today when I was sitting in the hospital and getting my dressing done after almost a week after I met with an accident, the pain had not reduced from any angel but yes I was able to stand on my own legs without anybody’s help.
Wednesday around 8.30pm when I was crossing the road in Marathalli I was hit by a call center van. Luckily, i GUESS since the driver was already braking, the speed was reduced and due to the impact the summo stopped after it hit me and I fell infront of the car otherwise he would have run over me.
Well, no doubt it was a miraculous escape but the moment I fell on the road and lost my senses. After few minutes my brain communicated the need to get off the road. Till then crowd had gathered, somebdy held me and made me sit on the road. Stark with fear I pulled my duppata to discover a long gash on my knee that stained my light blue kurti a brilliant red.
An aunty pressed a cloth on my knee to stanch the flow of blood. My blood was drumming through my veins so rapidly, I felt deaf. Only the horn of a scooter told me I could still hear. It sounded so loud.
Too loud!
Frightened, I felt everything paused for few minutes. I could only hear hum of
voices of people standing next to me. Thanked all my stars for saving my life and I would shoot that crazy driver, I decided. It would be justifiable homicide. I wanted to go home early. A horrible daylong meeting had culminated in a horrible evening. I had passed exhaustion a long time ago and needed sleep. The Pounding only increased in my head thinking of all this. With a vicious oath I somehow stood with an aunt’s help and was taken to nearby hospital.
I gave vent to several of mine favorite swearwords thinking of the driver as I made my way to the hospital.
Was feeling miserable as my new dress got torn and after the dressing doc gave me good news that I have got an hair line fracture on my knee and he put a plaster..
It was around 10.40pm and I was still in the hospital waiting for my cousin to pay the bill and get me discharged.
Cursed Sathya (Friend and colleague) ‘Selfish, thought-less, demented soul’ who left office early without informing me, i wish he had dropped me home...
Well, he is not as vile as I just thought of him. ..
Whose fault it was and how I could have avoided it and all is immaterial now..At that moment you can’t think straight.
After I reached home me just hit the bed… Had to position myself in a way that my knee doesn’t gets bend as it ensures more even degree of compression along the fracture line.
Well, after an action-packed day I wanted to just rest in peace… I saw my inside of eyelids after 18 hours and I deserved to sleep. But for a minute in my pensive mood I just thought what if it was the last day of my life??
Got very disturbed and was tossing/turning around whole night with this thought running through my mind.
Life is really too short for regrets....it's always after someone you know or close to you to leave this world to make us realize this fact.
I don’t think I would have got a chance to thank my parents for everything they did for me and tell my Parents them that ‘I love them unconditionally’
I always wanted to say sorry to my sis after all the senseless fights we had but ‘ego’ came in between… If I was dead today I don’t think I could have ever…
I have always been very strict with my brother but today I just wanted to hug him and say that I love him the most and he is my life.
Quite a disturbing experience and I myself have learned a lot from it. Hope others do too.
