Faith & hard work

Faith & Hardwork

What is  faith?
 A trust or confidence in someone, something or above all the Almighty.
When do we have faith?
When we know that we've worked hard enough to gain the confidence in someone. When we say, "I've faith in god.", we mean we've worked hard enough by stretching to our limits.
How do we know we've stretched to our limits?
Shear dedication and hard work when you think you are going in to paranoid-state-of-mind.
What if we lose faith?
There is no point when we lose faith in someone. There's only one answer: you haven't worked hard to gain the confidence. Proverbs aren't there for fun. They mean what they say. "God helps those who help themselves." The self help is the most important aspect which works to gain faith. If faith doesn't work then follow these easy steps and you'll get the answer.
1.) stay calm, diffuse all the thoughts.
2.) stand in front of a mirror with no one beside you.
3.) Look in to yourself and ask out a series of questions to self, "was the hard work enough?", "was there a room for improvement?", "what I did was right?".
4.) Search for the answers in your mind. Listen to what you get back. The answers will pave the way for improvement if needed. If you get affirmative answers, you have done what it takes. Rest assured depends on the faith on god or the someone..

• Failure without hard work will not lead you to success.
• Failure with hard work will always lead to success. Thats when your faith in God comes in place.
• If you havent worked hard then no need to feel sorry for failures.
• Thomas Alva Edison once said, "I haven't failed. I have invented 10,000 ways that won't work."
• Take a step and don't think of backing out; because "Backing out was and never should be an option."

Fariyaad...

Fariyaad kare che e balpan jema koi rok tok nohti,Fariyaad kare che ma no kholo jema mathu muki sui jata,Fariyaad kare che pita no khabho jena par besi sheher na darshan karta,Ek fariyaad che k aa fariyaad che k fari aavti e yaad che..

Fariyaad kare che pehli vaar ni vaat,E prem hato, prem ni pehli mulaakat,Fariyaad kare che e laal gulaab,Ke prem ni nishaani chu k kaanta ni jaal,Fariyaad kare che e dil je dhadaktu hatu premi ni yaad ma,Fariyaad kare che e honth e muskaan ne je avaar navaar avya karti ti,Khatri karvi che ek matr k aa fariyaad che k pachi fari aavti e yaad che..

Fariyaad kare che e suki jamin je bhinai jati varsaad na teepa thi,Fariyaad kare che ej jamin ni suki mati je bhinai ne sugandh felavti,Fariyaad kare che e nadi jema tara kesh ni jem moja uchalta,Fariyaad kare che e vishal dariyo je khili uthto tari hasi sabhdi ne,Bas ek prashn che jeno uttar melavva aavyo chu,K aa fariyaad che k fari aavti e yaad che.

Fariyaad kare che aa nayan jene tane pehli j jhalak ma j  kaid kari lidhi,Fariyaad kare che e hriday,Je kaid che tari vaani ni mayajaal ma,Ek anokhu smit felay che jyare taro chehro jou chu,Ane saathe ek sawaal ubho thai che,K aa fariyaad che k pachi fari aavti e ghadpan ma tari yaad che..

ek kavita

Kavita ni sandarbh ane vyakhya che tu,

Ane e kavita na prem ma vileen thayela kavi ni kalpana che tu,

Pehla varsaad thi bhinjva aatur e mati ni i66a che tu,

Ane te j varsaad na kala vadla ne joi kalrav karta mor no naach che tu,

Ek premi na dil ni vaat che tu,

Na kahi shakyo e vaat eva dil ni vyatha che tu,

Vaajintra mathi nikleli sargam no sur che tu,

Ek gayak na gala mathi nikdelu prem nu geet che tu,

Shravan maas ma aavta shravani poonam no Chandra che tu,

Poonam na diwase paani ma padelu taj majal nu pratibeemb che tu,

Premika ni yaad ma na vitati premi ni raat che tu,

Te j premi ni diwas ane raat che tu,

Ek kavi e eni premika mate lakheli kavita che tu,

Ane e kavita na prem ma vileen thai gayela kavi ni kalpana che tu.

the silent preacher.

I may've got a  million friends to share my happiness and sorrows and crack jokes on, but, have never played with them the way I've played with you. I mayn't have felt as comfortable hugging them as I had when I was with you.Not many would have got the opportunity of putting arms around the shoulders and calling you 'yaar'. Not many would have been asked to be called as friends rather than sons at the stroke of puberty. I've got a privilege of having a teacher-father combo whose magical quotes on life have a deep meaning hidden. We mightn't have talked for hours on the phone, but I still share a stronger bond with none except you. Repeated failures followed by the evergreen verse, "Life is not a cake walk, vandho nai, next time thai jase." have never kept me low. Silently, I have made you my idol and hope to worship you for the years to come.

Rain Drops...

Trip trip trip, it's not the tap that is dripping,

Trip trip trip, it's the rain that is tripping,

Listen to my sound,

Cancel all the sounds,

It is the rhytm of my beats,

Listen to your heartbeats,

No no no, it's notthe stutter that I sound like,

Coz it's the utter that I don't like,

May you think I am a drop of water making millions suffer when I flood,

Shall you not forget, drops make lives, be it tears, or be it blood,

2 drops of a vaccine saves a baby,

Tear drops from a mother gives birth to a baby,

Drops of blood saves many,

Drops of rain grows a plenty,

Add to this the smell of wet land,

With a cup of coffee in your hand,

I'll leave you yearning for more rain,

Wait, wait, wait, till I pour again..

¿Cómo estás Amigos!!

The Lone Star State - Texas. Rest everything on the flag is occupied by flyovers(at least in Dallas).
Aided by two airports; DFW(Dallas-Fort Worth) and Dallas - Love Field (loved/used only by South West carriers), Dallas is one of the major cities in Texas. It was fall in New Jersey, while I was still feeling the heat in Texas! Car-clogged roads in NJ to open and clean roads in Texas, you feel that you've traveled a long way somewhere. The city is covered with a range of flyovers, flying on the top of other. I was travelling to my friend's place in his car from the airport, there was one road where I saw 4 flyover on the top of me, and 3 others below ours. There were 8 flyovers at a single juncture. No wonder I was amazed by this, as Texas is the 2nd largest state behind Alaska (include the area covered by water).
Try stopping at a Mexican restaurant if you want to try some good Mexican food. Learn a bit of Spanish before you come here. A good ambiance, with delicious food, Amigos makes it my list of places to visit again in Texas. A free bowl of Tostitos with traditional salsa will always be served in any Mexican restaurant.
A free appetizer with an entree was worth a deal. Looking at it, we thought of ordering an entree between two of us. We didn't know what were we ordering, except the fact it was vegetarian. But before that we ordered a tortilla soup. Our fist experiment was successful. The soup added with some veggies, and a slice of avocado was tasty and heavy. We, then were ready to order our entree. Tamales, as it was called, was our choice. It is a Mexican dish with veggies wrapped in a soft corn wrap, served with rice and beans on the side. We were looking for a light snack before the dinner. Much to our surprise, the dish was too heavy for both of us to finish after finishing a bowl and half of tostitos and soup. Just before the entree was served, we received our appetizer, the Tostadita(do not get confused with Tostitos). Tostadita is the Mexican version of Sev-Puri (the street food served in Ahmedabad). After finishing the dinner we left for my friend's place.

Cosmic Cafe, situated on the Oak Lawn avenue, Dallas, is one of the best Indian restaurants in the city.
You must be wondering why in this world would I go to an Indian restaurant while I stay in NJ. But, here is the thing, Cosmic Cafe is owned by an Indian, while the staff is American. Being an Indian restaurant, the interior of the restaurant has preserved the Indian culture. Ceiling fans in the form of peacock feathers, walls mounted with idols or murtis, floor paintings, wooden windows, and wooden doors. Every thing in the restaurant was Indianised. They serve water in stainless steel glasses (people generally drink buttermilk).
The sections in the menu were given utmost importance to the purpose they served. Souper nova was the name given for the soup section, while Primordial energy was the term used for appetizers, and Big Bang was termed for entrees. Giving fancy names wasn't enough here, as the cafe had a 2nd floor for meditation with prayers such as Om Jai Jagdish Hare sung in the background. Spread across 7-8 rooms, the atmosphere for meditation was as perfect as a straight drive from Sachin Tendulkar. The menu was filled with varied dishes stretching from Quesedillas and Samosas to Hummus and Pappadam. Although we didn't have much but the place was worth going for its unique identity.

I was glad that my experiments in Dallas didn't explode (like the one's in a chemistry lab). Aforementioned places will be on the list to go when I come to Dallas in future.

Gracias Dallas, Adios!

Shall you not forget..

Shall you not forget, what you're,
Shall you not forget, why you're here,
Shall you not forget, what you're supposed to.
Shall you not forget, what your GOALS are..

let there be struggles,
let there be niggles,
let there be people never letting you go high,
shall there be perseverance in you, to fight against all,
cause it's you who is making a difference,
cause its you who is going to achieve the GOALS..

Shall there be times, people lose faith in you,
shall there be times, you lose your way,
shall there be times, you fail, fail and fail..
But, take an oath, that..
Shall you never forget, what your GOALS are...
