Success??? how do u measure it?? was just discussing this with one of my friend and he was soon to answer that.....it's nothing but achieving the thing that ur heart wishes......
was thinking over it........nd yeah...this is soooo true....y do we always...measure success with BIG things....y can't we just compare it with tiny things that our heart wishes for..
give it a thought....we always think that success HAS to be BIG....but not always...we can be successful even in small things....Ambanis, Bacchan, Lakshmi Mittal, Tatas, for that matter any politicians......are these people successful????? yeah when it comes to money yes they are....but what about small things??? like... after a loong time i just felt like having pani puri with my dad today......i was thinking bout it since morning nd yeah i had...it m HAPPY nd satisfied...nd i think i was successful today.....
just link everything to happiness...nd I swear..........u wud start enjoying ur life wid the very next moment......it is difficult nd also not fair to be happppy all the time......but we can atleast try to.....as being sad gives u nothing but more sadness....no doubt we should dream for some BIG success....but while you achieve it...dont forget....about the small success that surely will make tht difficult path towards big success as joyful....nd HAPPY...
Just a thought that crossed my mind today.......

A sufi report
They say that among all other human beings, kids are the closest to God's heart but ever given a thought that why do they usually like to play the game of turning around themselves and sing the song of marry-go-round. It is just one of the ways of reaching to the Creator that the Sufis follow. NCPA's weekend festival today discussed such simple ways for introducing Sufism to the common man. The festival kicked off with a documentary presentation on Sufism and the performing arts presented by the noted cultural activist Amrit Gangar. Short films like I named her Angel by Nefin Dinc from Turkey, Rumi:Turning Ecstatic by Tina Petrova and Stephen Roloff from Canada, Rumi: Poetry of Islam by Houchang Allahyari and Tom-Dariusch from Austria and give me your love by Nameera Ahmed from Pakistan were screened at the festival. Sufism has a universal impact on the performing arts, particularly dance and music, but goes beyond to become the performing art of living in peace, love and tolerance. These short films made an attempt to evoke the pluralistic aspect of performing arts. Gangar said, "this is the first Sufi documentary festival in the city and so I am trying to explain Sufism in simple language so that the masses understand this philosophy right from the basic.Documentary talked about Sema an act of active meditation that is achieved by whirling. The basic intention of Sema is to search the Creator of this universe; it brings the huge rise in emotions. Though the result of this meditation is not immediate still a sweet tiredness and satisfaction is attained that at least the search has been started. A short film on Ney an instrument used by Sufis to practice Mevlana music was the most liked movie. This flute like instrument made by marshald tree emerged in Turkey. The Ney players believe that after playing this instrument their spirit takes the wings and flies to the infinity. The interesting fact about playing techniques of Ney is just blow the sound huh in the instrument and in response it will give a very soothing sound.
Rabab a kind of a string instrument from Persia and most of the string instruments from India like Sitar, Sarangi, Santoor are also used in Mevlana music. Gangar also said that though all these art forms do not belong to India still there are various art forms in this country that represents Sufism. All the Artistes like Haji peers, Mangniyar singers from Rajasthan, Warkaris from Maharashtra, Kathak dancers who blend the mysticism of Sufism with classicism of Kathak and perform on qawallis and Kabir's and Amir Khusrao's poems, Dalit's from Punjab, qawalli singers are spreading the message of Sufism in India. The second session of this festival showcased Fana's: Ranjha Revisited, a dance theatre piece by Navtej Singh Johar and Sufi singer Madan Gopal Singh. This dance theatre piece was the fusion of two archetypal narratives from North and South India. The northern story talks about the predominant Sufi love legend from Punjab Heer Ranjha put together with Kutrala Kuravanji, a dance drama from Tamil Nadu in which a gypsy predicts of the heroine Vasantvalli's destined union with Lord Siva. Fana juxtaposes the two texts without a fixed flow of narratives and fixed characters or characterisations. Hence during their performance Ranjha becomes Lord Siva and Vasantvalli becomes Heer. The choreography of this dance drama remained contemporary by having dance forms like Bharatnatyam, Chhau and physical theatre.

A way full of happiness...
Things do run away from us...and the funniest part is....we don't even feel like a stupid running behind 'em again and again. ohk...now here i remember a filmy dialogue ( i knw it's nautanki) from the movie dch. "ret ko chahe jitna pakadne jaoge...utnihi woh apne hathon se chhutti jayegi" and fucking this is true....a very apt advise given by akshay khanna or rather the dialogue writer of the movie...and i have decided to follow it....and i hope that i could do that....(touchwood)
whenever i think about this running behind thingie i thinks that it's all about maya....yes the Goddess of perplexion (confusion) according to Rahul sharma's album. This maya actually makes are life...shiiit...like...she runs in fronta us..and we have no choice but run behind her....and the strange thing about her..is she takes us now where....its like some illusion....or horizon...it's tempting...we would love to discover the other world...but....in return you would get nothing.....the way outa this crap..is really a tough one....i wonder...how to find the way to get out of this world...that is full of....illusions...but i guess...the day i find this...way...i would be the happiest person on this earth....i hope that i could see the day soon.....and...would surely tell you guys about the path...but for now...i expect your suggestions over this theory.....and before going here i say a thank you...in advance...:-)

FLASH BACK
ok this was the time when we ( me and rims, u cn call her my better/bitter half) had just known about the internet....say we were in our class 7....and were all excited to explore the internet...CHATTING was the best thing....in the world we used to think...and...were all really excited to go to chat rooms...nd make new friends....
we actually spent our whole pocket money.....in the the cyber cafe but anyways look at this in a postive manner.... we contributed to Jayshree cyber cafe lot and it helped for its bussinees to run in full swing...
it was like 30 bucks...for an hour....and that one hour was like....awesome for us....go chat with strangers...surf for ur favourite actors fotograph......take the print out....keep it in ur wallet....not tht we use to get those postcard size fotographs of actors in stationary shops... but....dude.....it's internet picture...it's different.....hehehe when we think about it now....its really weired...and now wen u hv 24*7 net at ur place....
but once i remember...we sat for a long time in the cafe...like..we dint had that much money...and the bill had already crossed 100 bucks....we both were all sad and actually dint know wat to do...just told the unlce that we wud give u the csh in half an hour...but it was not possible..as our parents wud have killed us....if we told them about the surfing and chatting thingie....
but who says that sukhi nd rims dont have brain..we actually do have when it comes to....such wicked things...we straight away went to our respective houses..and got ....our raddi....we made nice fat amount by selling the newspapers to raddiwala....and that was the time...wen i came to know..that we actually get more money from english newspapers...than regional ones...that time my dad used to subscribe only marathi newspapers....but the very next day i managed to convince my dad....that english newspapers are...more knowledgable and all tht crap...nd he subscribed for an english issue.....he was all proud of her daughter that she is actually taking interest in journalism and all that....but sorry dad...tht time andar ki baat toh kuch aur hi thi.....hehehehe me and my devil mind....( a devil smiley)
and now you people....know why i love...newspapers and y r they life savers ....hehehehe
