Slow Down....

Slow Down... …

That word has become a sinword in this most challenging or most competitive world.

Everyone tells you to go fast, fast cars, fast food, fast life and fast sex too.

You cannot lay longer in bed, must drive fast, must grab food at McDonalds, Need High Speed Internet..

Everything is fast.

We lose patient on petty things. We get angry while standing in Q for buying tickets and even while buying a cup of coffee.

We are in too much hurry that can’t even have glimpse on match score. We are even impatient waiting for a roller costar ride,

Just to finish the ride, forget about enjoying it. We want to grow fast and want to everything even before we reach 24. Get marry fast have kids and then …. (Left to your imagination for more fast things)

We need appreciation from our boss even you before have completed 3 months on job, somebody should tell how beautiful you are looking the moment they should see,  

Otherwise he/she would have chance to be dropped from your good books. We must make friends very fast other will be tagged as rude or unfriendly.

Somebody should love you instantaneously when you fall for him/her.

There are still many things you can try doing "Slowly". Give yourself sometime to breath.

Heart also beats with his pace or slowly ... ... Unless you are asking for some extra work from him ..... You can also try running.... He runs fast (You don’t have to agree on this))

You never want time to run fast when you are with your sweetheart or when you doing something which you love.

There are still many things which can be enjoyed slowly.

Slow walk across the street, standing in balcony slowly sipping you tea. Watching  old couple walking slowly.

Slow talk of newlywed couple, Slow motion photography to know that Tendulkar was not LBW,

Driving slowly in mid night in Goa and Kerala, and Sitting at the beach feeling breeze on your face ... you don’t want storm that time.

It's a long list that you don’t want to be fast and actually can be enjoyed when comes slow.

So far i am not sitting on bomb to run away fast from.... Till then i am Slow

Iota of Bribe

 got alight from my Mumbai –Puna una bus near andheri bridge. It was a hot summer and in no time i started sweating heavily.
Only thing i could think of is reaching home as soon as possible so that i could beat the heat in my Air conditioned cozy room.
I started looking for Auto , but even after 25 minutes later i was not able to find one.

I started getting frustrated, started using some Punjabi explicit for Mumbai's Autowalas. Suddenly i spotted one Gumthi (Cigarette Shop),
i bought one and lighted it , immediately I was in my world and forgot about Heat and Idiot Autowals. I had taken only a few puffs,
A man with his wife and child approached me.

Man said " Tula Marathi yeti ka " I said No .
Then he said " Kya apko hindi ati hai " I said yes

He told me in very humble voice “Brother, me and my family have come to mumbai today for job search , and lost all our money to a conman. Now we are left with no money for food. Their Child didn’t have milk since morning. Please help then with money or buy them food and milk."

First thing i thought " Oh not again... Old trick, you can’t fool me with that one"

I ignored him and started looking in other direction trying to avoid eye contact. Another fellow standing next to me announced with sense of wisdom that " Rojka hai in logon ka, Kamchor hein , Free ka chahiye " and praised me for not giving him any money or helped with food. I also felt good for not being fooled. And he was right why they should get something for free!!!.

Then he and his family went to another guy , who was standing at some distance . I saw that fellow took then to nearest stall and bought them some Wada Paw and a glass of milk.

My reaction " Ah my Man!! You have finally managed to fool one"

Man and his family were looking pretty happy, I could make out from their body language. Then this fellow also came to Gumthi and asked for a cigarette.

This time i could not help myself from showing my wisdom. "Are Sir , Yeh to in logon ka rojka hai"

He calmly said “I know "…….. It was surprising for me.

I said, What!!!! you knew it, then why ?

He said, actually I was trying to bribe god.

I could not understand what did just say…. He read it on my face.

Then he asked me one thing “Have you ever wished for something or asked a favor from god , for which you have done nothing ?"

I said after brief pause," Yes sometime i have "

Then he said “How could you ask for something for which you have done nothing"

I had nothing to say, He was right with his each word ...I had no right for such favor

Then he said which I had never expected from any body...
.
.
.
.
.
.
He said “ Here I was trying to bribe god for giving me favor in such situation"

Iota of Love

I do not know from where i should start, it has been a long time since i saw you, but one thing i am ascertain of , my feelings for you have been same. I still remember our first meet , you were wearing light pink tee with sky blue jeans, immediately you swept me off my feet, you still send shiver to me when i think of that moment, my heart ponders with all the moments

i have spent with you.

You know you have a beautiful smile which is full of warmth and when you walks in the room you lights up everything. Your presence make flowers more beautiful, sunlight becomes brighter .water becomes playful. You have always mesmerized me with your unaltered beauty , every day i saw you, you were more fresh, filled with life, smiling .

i cannot wrap you in words, but i really have nothing but words. without you every day has been like a life time, i have died every day. I take birth everyday waking up in every morning with a wish of you calling me and died every night with hope of seeing you in next day.

I wish if i could travel through time and could catch all the time i have spent with you.

I wish ... thousands of thousands wishes. No, perhaps only single wish ..to have you here in my arms.

you know i do not see you in my dreams because they seldom come true. i do not want anything that has chance to take you away from me.

Please come to me to fill my emptiness i am tired of all fake laughs, hollow happiness.

I am tired my love , i really am. Please fill me with you.

Only thing i can say is I LOVE YOU
