I can't thank either of ya enough this lifetime now, can I...

.. yakeenan munkir ko mila hai phir ek mumkin khuda..
.. zakhm na marham, nishaan iss rooh pe sirf tera hai..

one revealed the difference between what's meant to be 'n what's not meant to be despite the zillion similarities 'n the other made me realize it's indeed meant to be if the similarities outweigh the differences; shukriya soulmates or else would've stayed oblivious of the revelations 'n the realizations.

Am rejoicing India's win; yet wonder why we, the Indians, aren't gracious in losses 'n humble in victory; why every lost match means unending choicest abuses hurled at our players 'n every win an authority to extend same abuses on the losing opponents...

"IF"... ~Rudyard Kipling~

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And–which is more–you'll be a Man, my son!

10 things to learn from Japanese...

1. THE CALM

Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

 

2. THE DIGNITY

Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

 

3. THE ABILITY

The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn't fall.

 

4. THE GRACE

People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

 

5. THE ORDER

No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

 

6. THE SACRIFICE

Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

 

7. THE TENDERNESS

Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

 

8. THE TRAINING

The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

 

9. THE MEDIA

They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.

 

10. THE CONSCIENCE

When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly.

I laugh

I lie

have just one life to rise 'n to fall...
am in a hurry to experience it all...

The cog of my impertinent being is as much drowned in infinite unanswered questions as it is floating in an eternal rainbow painted out of imperfect grays...

mystique... of mystiques...

... an eternal smile is mystically drenching the forever autumns with a magical rain...

at least judge me at ya'r own comfort if not at ya'r own peril... 'coz the list is infinitely long of all that i have done wrong...
