BROTHER....
I saw a boy playing with a girl on the road side. That girl was my friend, a colony friend that everyone had in his or her age of eight. Middle class family of mine, simple we all were. At that point of time when my maa used to give me rs.5 for buying my favourite chocolate was the satisfactory thing ever.
That boy was around five I guess. I out of habit got jealous that my friend is giving my play time to someone else. Call it fortunate or unfortunate I was unaware that their is a relationship called brother and sister, I only have my four year sister that time (God had made sisters so beautiful that I never aspires for younger brother).
And he felt on ground! Jesus, she was literally in tears, she made him stand said sorry almost thirteen times. I came close to, with my limited wisdom I ordered her to come and play with me. Yes, I was that much insensitive in my childhood. She gave me a look like she never knew me. Ran towards her house and made her Mom convince that that boy had fallen but he is alright. My condition was as same as when you wish a good morning to someone and that someone starts asking you questions about Russian economy. At that moment I became a observer (What else one can do when your bestie loose interest in you and your ORDERS). Nevertheless, to my unexpected thought she came back to me and said lets buy chocolate Aditi, obviously she was bound to start conversation as she knew she was wrong. I said lets buy a chocolate (now with a smile).
She saw her father returning from office, hugged her father and requested him to buy three chocolates from the nearest store in our locality.
Three!!! Why three?? And then her father revealed, one for you, and rest for my two kids. I looked at my friend, yes Aditi its for my brother.
This was the first time when I heard about a relation called brother, eventually I have heard many times from my maa and relatives that she wanted a son. My maa's son would be my brother. Younger he could be, elder he could be. He would had fought with me, he would protect me. Might had been teasing me or surrendering his toys for me.
If I could had a brother, if my mother could had a son, he would be my brother.

सन्नाटा                   सन्नाटा कैसे मिलेगा इस बोलती हुई दुनिया में , यहाँ एक दुनिया बोलती है, एक दुनिया सुनती है, पर समझ कोई भी दुनिया नहीं पाती, यहाँ चिड़िया बनकर बोलती है सुबह, और गाने सुनाती है हमको शाम , ये रात भी फिर कहाँ चुप रहती, पुकारती है वह चाँद का नाम , सोचा की आसमान को ताक कर सो जाते अगर बादल ना बोलते पानी बनकर, माँ के आँचल में खो जाते अगर अना ना बोलती जवानी बनकर, और आँख लगी तो हंगामा था सपनो का मेरे मन में , जैसे चींखते है नेता मंच पर , मगर नींद खुली तो सब गायब था , सब गायब था सन्नाटा ढूंढने निकला जब फिर मैं एक सफर पर, बोलने लगी फिर परछाई भी मेरी मुझसे, कि खुशनुमा था मेरा हमसफ़र का रिश्ता तुझसे, याद आया की खामोश तो हम भी बैठा करते थे, पर कितना मुझसे  बोलती थी तेरी आँखे, तेरी आँखे थी कि सन्नाटा गहरा ? गहरा है अंधेरा या सन्नाटा गहरा, खामोश करने लगा फिर मुझे सन्नाटा मेरा, सोचता हूँ सन्नाटा कैसे मिलेगा इस बोलती हुई दुनिया मे

Diamonds and Pearls

A Diamond With A Flaw Is Worth More Than A Pebble Without Imperfections.   On the other hand, Pearl is appropriate for making you look complete. Things associated with beauty. One is sea baby, you can find pearl in depth of sea bed. See although beauty is related to appearance more, but glory need to dived and unshelled. The other one is a coal which asked for pressure and handled it well. When life burdens you, look for the beautiful transformation that would surely occur and alter the coal into diamond. Obviously both are expensive gem, but a person who has struggles is more valued with a person with deepness. A diamond is goblet of heat of struggle. Pearl is admired by intensity of calmness. The most interesting thing about pearl is its formation, created naturally. Nature’s beauty can’t be compared to artificial intelligence. If given choice, I would prefer a sea over a fully automated ship. The people who know about gems would have knowledge that pearls are valu...

Show Much Kindness

What's most Important, your face or hands? Do you think your heart is having priority over all other organs in your body? One might have dilemma while making a choice. A person may go indecisive in choosing single body part which is most crucial to him. We remain neutral about our preference over the things which belongs to us. Yes we can go biased sometime, but it hardly affects us as we own them. Likewise when we see another human being on this earth, why we hate them for no reason or Judge them. He or she is a part of us because eventually we are made up of a divine power and that is the power which holds the superiority. Let me give you an example, suppose you see two trees in a garden planted apart linearly. Although there are two different trees but when we see its roots, they are matted beneath the soil. In the same way when we see the top of the trees their branches are interconnected. So is the human soul, prior to his birth he is attached to the divine soul and af...
