Poems by my FRIEND SHIVA PRAKASH

After the poems in the movie "ZINDAGI NAHI MELE DUBARA" I loved the poems one of my best friend Shiva Prakash and following are some of the those : When nothing to Imagine An empty page stares at me i imagine to pen down something inscrutable thoughts rush, collude, collide and then disappear. Sadly, my imagination is limited words say formless, undetermined babyish thoughts continue to wander around blind I better get back and sleep. ;-) Sea or Shore The sea of silence lingers against a loving shore shore always wanted and tries to pull and neva gets a moment more the peace is gone the shadows are deep the shore, now drenched in pain he blames his heart now torn apart still neva leaving the hope, tries again and bliss the moment it gets the sea near shore neva leaves, and sea neva hugs... Now who should fall...? You Exist You existin my heart and soul, in the half-truth and the whole, in my thoughts and my scream, in my realisms and my dreams You exist. Move over, you are st...

A Gal who Amazed me

Children generally learn things fastly if that is followed by continuous support and encouragement they will learn things super fastly. The other day when I am the swimming pool I happened to watch a little gal (around 5 yrs old) who is new to swimming and learning it. She is taking her first diving lesson. The trainer is in water to help her out as she is a kid. She dived and started swimming and almost completed quarter lap and she stopped. Trainer applauded her for that and asked her to do it again. This time she completed one full lap. She was awe struck after that. She was in ecstasy and she cannot able to handle her excitement and immediately went to her friend and asked her to congratulate her for completing the lap. In her words she has quoted something like this “Divya give me a five and I require this now “and after that she hugged her. She demanded the encouragement or validation. Then the gal went on and started encouraging /motivating her friends to complete the lap by...

I am a SWIMMER

I am swimmer from 5 th July 2011. After 2 weeks of struggle to breathe out, humiliation from my trainer, got depressed watching videos on you tube by swimmers who swim so eloquently and watching other people learning so quickly followed by unwavering determination to learn swimming, at last I made it. One must see my trainer’s face when I completed my first lap with breath out. He shouted in Joy. He might have thought “this Rascal has made it finally.” I myself can’t able to believe for a moment I completed the lap. It boosted my confidence like anything and one more thing to cherish in life. After completing the first lap with breath out there is no looking back. Yesterday I had done swimming in 10 th feet depth. Though I got scared while looking down into the water, I am able to complete a lap. I guess the fear will go quickly and I will be able to swim freely in any kind of depth. PS: 1) I broke the myth of my friend who said “Can you bend ur body at this age?” Whe...

FREE FALL JUMPS (BUNGEE JUMP & SWING JUMP)

The other day when I called my friend for wishing him on his birthday our conversation did not just end there. It has been a couple of months we had talk with each other so we started to talk all the non-sense to sensible things . I shared with him my NEPAL experiences which included my free fall jumps. He asked me " What is it like jumping a free fall?" what have u felt while jumping ? I fumbled for a couple of seconds to answer him and later explained him vaguely. The feel of free fall Jump would be something like this : Take a strong long steel rod hit it very hard on a solid Rock. Pay attention to the sound that get created.While one is on free fall that is the kind of sound that will get generated in one's head.Followed by a state called "STILLNESS." It is such a state that u will be having no thoughts, no ideas , no sounds would be heard just stillness. This is the state what generally spiritual leaders would be talking about.What would u find in still...

25 Paise Coin is NO MORE

From June 30th 2011 you can't make a transaction in 25 paise coin. You may wondered have I ever traded with it in last 3 to 4 years. The answer is yes. Most of all might have traded in 25 paise till June 30th 2011 . But not by coin exchange but in terms of paying through ur plastic money( credit card) ,in terms getting a substitute for a 25 paise coin , or forgoing the change or increase the buying capacity in order to avoid the change. Now that the 25 paise coin is dead the minimum denomination in India is 50 paise coin and all the rates are rounded accordingly. The question that trigerred me when I read about it in the news is why would a country abandon the 25 paise coin , for that matter any coin. The answer is when the face value of the coin becomes less than the manufacturing cost, Government will stop manufacturing those coins. The Government will first take measures like decrease the size /shape of the coin before considering to completely write off them.
