The Two of Me

Filed under: life, Thoughts — shobhendrasrivastava @ 11:28 am

There are moments in our life where we stare at defeat and difficult times.
We are at the crossroads – we do not know what to do.
At these times, our inner self seems divided in two – our I and You.

We stop , listen to both and we think……….
Then
Some of us follow the I
and
Some of us follow the You.

Two of Me

The Me – I

A fear hides in the heart
That dreams would die only as dreams
Unfulfilled ambitions yet
And soul would depart
Body would lay satisfied
But wanting soul would still scream.

Even then ,
No more dreams now I strive to pure
No new dimensions I try to explore
Too many constrains the free will found
It killed the dreams, I lived to bound

Past boundaries have punctured the heart
More failures may rip it apart
So I live now this vegetative life
Daily chores and no delight
No excitement in life for sure
But at least pain I bear No More !

The Me – You

You may fear to die,
You may not – I cannot say
But you fear to live
One by one you kill each day

Intense pain is better
Slow pain to death – Never!
Dormant life is sin for sure
So precious life is
Vegetation is no cure .

Attempt and action
Coulld bring joy
Could bring sorrow
But they bring an alive tomorrow
Dream and decision
May give pain
May give gain
But they make you live again.
Inaction is state of defeated mind.
A champion lives each moment
All the time.

Today you vegetate
By taming your soul
Tomorrow the body
With age will tame you old
Before you decay
Yourself you cure
One life, Do More !

PUNJABI ABC

Filed under: Humor — Ankur Aggarwal @ 8:13 am

This one’s not just for Punjabis but for all those who have faced
‘Punjlish’.

A is for Aiscreame (Vanilla, Chocolate, Butterscotch are favourites
with Punjabis).

B is for Backside, and it has nothing to do with your butt. It is an
instruction to go to the rear of a building, or block, or shop or whatever.

C is for Cloney and its not a process for replicating sheep, nor is
its first name George. It is merely an area where people live e.g. ‘Defence
Cloney’.

D is for the proverbial ‘Dangar da Puttar’.

E is for Expanditure, the spending of money.

F is for Fackade, and even though it sounds like a bad word it is
actually just the front of a building (with backside being the back, of
course).

G is for Gaddi, and the way a Punjabi can pilot his gaddi puts any
F1 driver to shame. (If the Grand Prix does come to Delhi there’s no way
Hamilton, Alonso or Kimi can overtake Balvinder, Jasvinder or Sukhvinder’s
taxi.)

H is for ‘Ho Jayega Ji’, and the moment you hear that you have to be
careful because you can be reasonably sure it’s not going to happen.

I is for Intzaar, and to know more about it see P.

J is for Jutt, which every Punjabi seems to be.

K is for Khanna, Khurana, etc, the Punjabi equivalent of the Joneses
(e.g.’Keeping up with the Khurana’s ji’)

L is for Loin, the king of the jungle!

M is for ‘Mrooti’, the car that an entire generation of Punjabis
were in love with.

N is for ‘No Problem Ji.’ To find out how that works see H.

O is for Oye, which can be surprise (Oyye!), a greeting (Oyy!),
anger (OYY!) or pain (Oy oy oy…).

P is for Punj Mint, and no matter how near (1 km) or far (100 km) a
Punjabi is from you he always says he’ll reach you in punj
mint (5 minutes…).

Q is for Queue, a word completely untranslateable into Punjabi.

R is for Riks, and a Punjabi is always prepared to take one (risk),
even if the odds are against him.

S is for Sweetie, Sunny, Simmi and Sonu, who seem to own half the
cars in Delhi. (The other half by their Pappas – like ‘Sweetie de Pappa di
Gaddi’).

T is for the official bird of Punjab: ‘Tandoori Chickun’

U is for when you lose your sex appeal and become ‘Uncul-ji’

V is for VIP phone numbers @ Rs 15 lakh and counting.

W is for Whan, as in ‘Whan are you coming, ji?’

X is for the many X-rated words that flow freely in Punjabi
conversations.

Y is for ‘You nonsanse’, when anger replaces vocabulary in a
shouting match.

Z is for Zindgi which every Punjabi knows how to live to the
