Although you may spend your life killing,
You will not exhaust all your foes.
But if you quell your own anger,
your real enemy will be slain.
~~Nagarjuna
(Nagarjuna -The “second Buddha”, was an Indian Buddhist priest and thinker.)
Life is an endless voyage!! A voyage for which even the skilled mariner cant build a compass predicting the exact directions it may take! No cartographer has ever drawn an atlas locating the territories we may travel to! Because in the voyage of life your fortunes will travel up north one Sunday and on Monday it will head south bringing you misfortunes! You might have planned ahead to reach the summit but the voyage of life would have another plans taking you to uncharted territories when you least expect it! The Schools or the Streets don’t provide you answers for the questions life throws at you!! Not Self help books but the Past masters who summed up the meaning of life succinctly in beautiful verses are your Beacons of Hope here! Through their clairvoyance they convey great lessons about what really matters in life aphoristically but cryptically of course!!
Although you may spend your life killing,
You will not exhaust all your foes.
But if you quell your own anger,
your real enemy will be slain.

disturb me not when I write
for I seek answers in the night time sky
between wisped clouds
that pass,
by and by
as moonlit parchment draws my quill
poised in shadow
trembling still
a cursive trail of sanguineous ink
tell me true
what dost though think
of these tortured, bloodied late hour pages ?
recounting anguish
on sordid stages

Nowadays we are all bombarded by different noises in this world may it be physical which includes war, cars, mouths armalite (gossips, slanders) 😅etc. It could be emotional and mental. But the worst of all this noise is the mental which weigh heavy in our hearts. As we began to want things and pursue things we dont have we neglect the beauty and essence of what we really have now. When contentment is out of the picture then discontenment filled with wistful desires happen. We started to worry of what we dont have but when we have it we asked for more. Weird people are we!.. When the weather is hot we complaint and wanted cold.. When it is getting real cold we are worrying of the…

Even After All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
“You owe me.”
Look What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.

As soon
as fear
approaches near,
attack and destroy it.

Try not to resist the changes that come your way.
Instead let life live through you.
And do not worry that your life is turning upside down.
How do you know that the
side you are used to is better than the one to come?

The ultimate woman in my life is my mother.
Then there are women who are my friends, always there as a motherly figure.
All whom I have met are very strong from the core. They always back themselves come what may. They achieve what they desire with full determination.
The responsibilities are more compared to men but they never give up.
What an inspiration they are and what a wonderful creation by god, who themselves create their destiny and change lives of people around them.
My life is colourful just because of their unending support, guidance and love.
Salute to all the women in my life…..
