Can you really live the life you dream?

It is overwhelming to see a cold morning, a stiffed, still sleepy body with a little noise of factory already started nearby at GSFC Cricket ground. The hunger to play well starts burning in the stomach like the raw had started burning in the factory. We, Baroda CAs every morning get together at the ground, practice since last 1 and half month to match the standards with Ahmedabad CAs. We desperately need a win!

Drops of dew on the newly grown grass, a compulsory full round of ground before start, few balls here and there and then a perfect pitching gives true pleasure of your breaths. In our life, we live two lives simultaneously; one that we always dream to live like and one we have chosen. We have hardly enough time to give to the life we always wanted to live as we have already chosen a different path. Time will never come again and that I always tell to myself before bowling or facing any ball. It needs no alarm to wake up early from the bad (like a spider web which always ties you tightly to catch some more sleep), your body shows no resistance to get a new routine. That happens when you are living the life you always dream to live like. 

I remember all my childhood days starving for Cricket. I used to wait for my brother to come home early from the school so that we can have a match and I can return home with a big smile ending with a big hug to my mom saying how much I scored and how did I tackle the much stronger looking brother. No matter what the performance is, my mom was always happy listening me. If I kept quiet, she knew easily that I cooked up and she will advice there's always another day.

It is important for you to decide in life what makes you happy. Please mark the difference, what makes you happy and what attracts you easily but hardly make you happy. You consult your parents, you take advice of your brothers and sisters but choose something that you would not have think of. That will make you see dreams different in night and work for different objectives in day time. Sadly, when you are grown up, you have hardly anyone to go and say "Boss! I am not happy with this life and actually I dreamed something else! I want to return." Can you really return but?

મોટર સાયકલ એટલે મારી મોટર સાયકલ!

મોટર સાયકલ એટલે 
મારી મોટર સાયકલ!
જેટલી જૂની એટલી ટહુકતી.
ભીડમાં એકલી
પણ સદા એ મરક્તી.

એક તો સવાર એનો 
હું શાહી અંદાજનો.
દિલથી અનોખો ને
ચટકા મિજાજનો.
રાહે મળે એ બધા મારા ભાઈબંધો,
ચ્હાની લારીએ બને મારા પ્રપંચો.
યારી ને દિલદારી 
બસ નહિ બીજા કામનો.
હું હાથી જીવું તો લાખનો
ને મૂવો સવા લાખનો.

જીગરે હું જબરો એવો,
લાગણીઓમાં ડૂબી જાવ છું.
એકવાર કહો "કેમ છો?"
તો ફના થઇ જાવ છું.

બધું મારું જ,
બધું મારું જ એ નહિ મારી નીતિમાં.
કિંમત મારી નથી કોડીની
પણ કરું રોકાણ દિલોમાં.
નથી કોઈ શત્રુ કે,
નહિ કોઈ હરીફ.
કરે કોઈ આંખ ઉંચી તો
વિનમ્રતા જ તબીબ.

મોટર સાયકલ એટલે
મારી મોટર સાયકલ!
જીદગી જેવી જ કૈંક
ચાલે એ પાગલ.
જેટલી જૂની એટલી જ ટહુકતી.
ભીડમાં એકલી
પણ સદા એ મરક્તી.

Afraid of getting converted

I wonder with whom
I share my breaths!
Much afraid of getting converted,
A dodger here, a dodger there.
What I bully is I am living in the dodger's world...!

They say my mind is not at the right place,
Against Dodgers
in fact they are prejudiced to honesty.
They want me to follow them,
the path of dodging, an immoral lodging.
They say I am arrogant,
in fact, trying to convince me.
Whatever doses of courage I embed,
they are shameless,
understand just one language of living
that is to bread.

I have an open sky,
the round loaded earth.
The nature and everything that it takes birth.
To whom shall I go and complain?
This soul will only come to curse me then.
If I don't challenge and
become one more dodger.

The closed doors and under tables
are the home of devils.
The size and colors are so alike,
when you get disguised,
it's always a surprise.
It blows your mind off,
evaporates your sleep.
Do you believe in god?
Check out, meet dodgers but take care.
Take care of your trust.
Make sure then you don't weep.

I have a story to tell to the next breed,
stay away from the ugly greed.
If you think you are victim of a system,
take a lead.
This is not about being happy on calling a war,
it's just to get relaxed
from our own wrong deeds.
A dodger here, a dodger there.

What I bully is I am living in the dodger's world...!

I wonder with whom
I share my breaths!
Much afraid of getting converted.

ઢીલ દઉં કે ખેંચી લઉં?

કહે છે કે આકાશની કોઈ વીશાત નથી,
તો ઉમંગોની પણ નહિ જ હોઈ.
ઉત્તરાયણ આવે એટલે ધડકનો વધે,
જાણે કે પતંગો નહિ
દિલો ઉડાન ભરે.

પવનની સંભાવના કદાચ ઓછી,
પણ પ્રયત્નોની નહિ.
રંગ બદલે ત્વચાનો,
પણ મસ્તીનો નહિ.
ઉડાનો નો શોખ તો હું પણ રાખું છું.
જો મારી પતંગને મેલાવે કોઈ.

પતંગની દોર ભલે ડગમગાયા કરે,
બાજુની છત પર સુંદરી પર નઝર ડોકાયા કરે.
કહું તો મનની વાત કેમ કરીને?
પલમાં પીગળી જાય એ દિલને,
ઢીલ દઉં કે ખેંચી લઉં?

સુર્યાસ્તના સમયે ફાનસ ચડાવીએ,
એક, બે અને સહુ ચડાવીએ.
ભલે ને ફાનસ ક્યાંક જઈને ઠરી જાય,
જ્યાં સુધી રહશે પ્રકાશ એનો,
ત્યાં સુધી તો દિલોને દીપાવી જાય.

કહે છે કે આકાશની કોઈ વીશાત નથી,
તો ઉમંગોની પણ નહિ જ હોઈ.
ઉત્તરાયણ આવે એટલે ધડકનો વધે,
જાણે કે પતંગો નહિ
દિલો ઉડાન ભરે.

Your life is a film, get involved, release it!

You got a life. You make it a story.
Choose a character.
Make it your life.
Your mind is the best producer,
let it sponsor.
Got a beautiful heart, let it direct you.
There is something common in all of us,
Vibrant, spiritual, undefined.
One that triggers -  "light, life (camera), action...!"
You think you are mistaken somewhere,
just edit it.
Your time will come,
Celebrate it.
Your love will awake.
Sing it.
Tell yourself everyday you wake up,
Your life is a film,
Get involved,
Release it!
