Just Haria!

Searching for a civilized personality ... sorry you are at wrong door
looking for a disciplined gentleman... forget it.. not a suitable metaphor
you like an organized lifestyle... man... then he's not just your kind
but oops these are just face values.... make the inner soul blind

so you don't like fagging and boozing.. but this genre you shouldn't detest
its good you avoid these habits ... but please don't make it a personality test
expand the vision of your thoughts ... open up your mind
there’s a personality yet to be discovered... motionless stands the time

where to start with and what words should I choose...
his versatile features ... leave me stranded and confused..
but before initiating... apologies for being so daring from this genre porcupine
do I err in between... Oh great Haria! Please be benign...

connoisseur of soulful music.. he is a vernal vocalist
just be an audience once... you can feel the eternal bliss
art defies all boundaries... his choice does surely depicts..
in any form, it perpetuates the universal brotherhood.... indulge n feel the temptation you can't resist...

continuing with his love for music... he's also a passionate guitarist
oft he lose his plectrum.. but his performance is simply a hit
for his fan club.. music is one of the prominent motif
and yes, he himself is a die hard fan of the CLAPTON, the DYLON n Atif

you might have heard of Britannica, but that's dead and a soul-less tome
got a chance to discover Haria, that’s the store house of "information genome"
this lively analyzer and commentator also hosts the addiction for quizzes
he is the champ, whatever be the topic - cricket, music, politics, business or any beautiful miss

but these are traits he never will flaunt and its just iceberg's tip
what he cherishes most are the friends and their friendship...
and that's why I guess the college memories turns him the most nostalgic
now he aspires to be in IIM, may be just to immortalize that magic..

want a lot to say about Haria but feel finished of words
amongst one was he, who saved my initial days from Mumbai's ramping herds
may thy God be with him, and he always be on psychedelic high five
in the end, I just want to wish him - love, luck and life...............

living life the gandhigiri style.....

Once more, the debate of revival of Gandhism has been instigated though in the form of its modern "avtar" - Gandhigiri. Thanks to our cherished hero "munna bhai". Our film industry definitely deserves applause for the innovative way of introducing history to our youth rather then youth to our great history which usually happens and thus, making it a lot more interesting which ultimately reflects in the film's success.

Not being critical about the film any more and coming back to the topic under light, I would like to mention here one thing that I believe that it’s the traits of a personality that should be cherished rather then eulogizing the personality itself. Traits, which are reflected in that personality's deeds remembered over the ages and that’s how the souls become immortal. But then remembering and praising personalities is one thing and emulating the path traversed by those skinny creatures is altogether a different concept in itself. After all, how many of us would like to have M. K. Gandhi as our idol when he is facing stiff competition from the likes of Bill Gates, Sachin Tendulkar or Aishwarya Rai (they all did what they were passionate about and such vigor can't be found in abundance in today's youth - more on this some time later). That’s where the point of adopting features rather then fantasizing mortals comes in.

Now the face value of any thing allures more to this materialistic man then knowledge of hidden secrets (may be dark). Infect the capability of distinguishing things in this respect improves the chances of being successful in life. Sometimes it turns a human into a saint as in the case of Mahatma Gandhi and at other point of times brings the likes of Dhirubhai Ambani in the fore. But the trait in common in such successful personalities is that they abstain from materialistic pleasures and prioritized their ambition in life over such short lived happiness. Yes, that’s the first point where youth of today can start from, setting ambition for the life. Sooner they do that more they will be channelizing there energies (it can be for good or bad depending on the goal one set for oneself.. what can be said about the likes of Osama!). And, Gandhian philosophy can help in choosing an ambition that can lead to betterment of society. Like putting question to self that how this goal of mine which I have set for myself will impact the lives of those poor and underprivileged souls beneath me in the social hierarchy - "Gandhiji's Tilisman". After setting the goals and strategy for achieving them the next important step is the implementation of that game plan. This is the part where Ghandhian values of life - truth, non-violence and peace can direct us. The crux of the debate is the society doesn't want any more Gandhi's (British have left this country long back you fool! wake up..). But implementing your work plans the Gandhian way is what all is required for leading a successful life, for the progress of the nation and for the betterment of humanity in large and all at the same time (yes that's important. After all we have just one life to live and who cares about the next 'janam'. At least I don't). What all you need to loose is your impatience. And yes, believe me that's all is required. Whatever your profession is, whatever your ambition is (you are a lucky soul if both coincide) just try to implement these values in your day to day life. May be you are at lose instantly but in large you will gain and it will further foster your belief in living life - the Gandhigiri style. At this point I am impulsively quoting seven deadly sins as per Gandhian way of life:

  1. Wealth without work
  2. Pleasure without conscience
  3. Knowledge without character
  4. Commerce without morality
  5. Science without humanity
  6. Worship without sacrifice
  7. Politics without principle

May be that can show us the light....
