Adrenaline of lost emotions

Post Category: Diary

It’s a strange feeling! You are almost ashamed as Rihanna would say (btw her new single is really kool, nah?!) You know what is wrong and you cannot exactly point out where. Right?


And then when you seek advice you are given ample reasons to retrospect, though not sure, if this self-discovery itself is a good thing or a bad one.

It’s supposed to my life and I should be calling the shots. Things ultimately will change, as change is the only constant (as management gurus would like to reiterate). The uncle in the white robe said 3 moths, 6months and for some rare cases never! Why?? Has he discovered it wrong, did I lie or something else.

Life goes on, or this is what you would like to console yourself with. And then suddenly all the flash back and all the signs! I am convinced that somethings never end, they become immortal only because they were mortal. They go on forever perhaps only because they ended.

Adieu, Aaich!

The Story of Peeli Patti And Raja Jani

Post Category : General / Social

Call it pessimism, reality, glumness or whatever word describes it best I have a firm opinion that we have a long way to go both collectively and individually as far as helping and sharing is considered

We all are (barring a few exceptions) peeli patti (a term coined for the female aspect of the society) and raja jani (a term coined for the male aspect of the society) . Peeli Patti and Raja Jani are fictionist characters penned by local pop band Noori. These characters are happy in their utopian world and not realizing that actually whatever their acts are, it ultimately has an impact on the society they live in one way or the othe
Today we see our people in a state of self-denial. We are victims of a very myopic view of life, where the center of attention is only our own self, and a future that does not go, at best, beyond the scope and span of our own lifetime. We seek short-lived pleasures while we turn our faces away from the unpleasantness and sickness that surrounds us. We love ourselves and ourselves alone, yet we are oblivious of the harm we are causing to our mind and body. We live for the moment, as we fear our mortality; but we kill ourselves every single day!
Peeli Patti aur Raja Jani ki Gol Dunya is the story of our society in this very context. It questions the very premise on which human beings are functioning in this day and age. It pinpoints at how we have been nurturing an indifferent stance towards life, and how, in doing so, we have harmed not only our external environment, but also our inner selves. It reflects on the growing frustration around us and sheds light on our discontentment with life in general. It urges for a collective introspection. It searches for a hope that one day we will rediscover ourselves; (text in 3rd and 4th paragraph is courtesy of credits section of the noori album)

Try to identify peeli patti and raja jani’s around you and educate them as to how their perspective of life is harmful for the whole society. We must act now before it’s too late, before nature decides to take its toll on us. Because then, we will have no choice!

Somebody emailed this to me today and i thought it is good to share with the world. It goes something like this....

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.

While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.

Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it.

Don't let the cups drive you... Enjoy the coffee instead
