City of My Thoughts

We often talk about all the things our country is lacking of , for example shelter for all , food and water for all , investments , development and much more. But we never talk about the things we are proud on . So here I would like to dedicate this post on SOLDIERS... A soldier is the one who fights as a part of an organised , land based armed force despite of which religion he belongs to , or for which religion he is fighting for. He fights for his country no matter which cast he is of or which god does he follows. But we the people of the same country follow this cast system till now. All of us know that every Mohammedan is not a terrorist but we have found that every terrorist is a Mohammedan. But we never thought that how many Mohammedans are in Indian Army or how many Hindus are in Pakistan Army.  The fact is we never thought it in this way. We always had a feeling of adversary and we always grew up listening partition story and developed a feeling of terror with those

" A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business."....With this one let me start with my most favorite quotes below ,Also you can tell me yours in the comment section below. Inspirational Quotes : 1. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. 2. Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten. 3.  Truth , purity , and unselfishness - whenever these      are present , there is no power below or above      the sun to crush the possessor thereof. Equipped      with these , an individual is able to face the      whole universe in opposition. 4. When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. 5. You may say I'm a dreamer,

Books are magical. They transport us to another world at the expense of our time and weave stories that leave us awed, excited and at the edge of our seats.  Here are a few lesser known Indian authors whose novels you should add to your list of “books to read”:  1.

Picture Courtesy : Google A perfect life or a happy life ? Which one would you choose ? Well, before deciding it one should know the difference between a perfect life and a happy life.  The fact of the matter is , a perfect life is not always happy , but a happy life is always perfect. Sometimes it takes a whole of our life thinking what perfect life is and than getting it. Perfect life for mostly people include a good job/business , a luxurious car and big own house. It is mostly the dream of a ordinary person. The truth is , there is no guarantee that the person with a big own house, luxurious car and good job/business will be happy and satisfied. There is no limit to wants and satisfaction. And so there is no perfection in anything except you. Yes, only you are the one who can be perfect in your own way. Perfect life is just a thing , reality is happy life where you have your family and friends to be with you in any of  the circumstances. Your happiness is in those peopl

Picture Courtesy : Google Images     Each one of us has someone whom we address with mine...but the point is...does this word really exist ? Is there actually someone who can be called 'mine' for lifetime ? The answer is.........I don't know. People often say that they are 'ours' but once the situation changes...they just vanishes like anything. People don't even think what they are doing for a while and maybe they never realize. They start forgetting all the past and start pretending as if they don't care for some reason. And maybe they actually don't care.  They suddenly change into someone else which are not really ours and start behaving like a stranger. They don't understand anything at that point of time. Well , this is human nature. It is very common in today's generation. Lately this leads to anger and frustration for both the people and they fail to understand what can be done for this. In most of the studies, ego and attitude i

Time was passing like anything...I could feel every second as it passed. I was able to feel the wind around me , the way water was touching my feet and then running away. I was able to feel noise at the most peaceful place. The noise which was inside me....... Picture courtesy : Google Images Solitude is a state of being isolated or deserted. Some people define it as a disease...but some as intoxication. Fear of solitude or being left alone comes only when you know the feeling of being with someone. Not everyone can feel this , only the people who have had someone for them could feel this. When it comes to fear , each one of us has a fear inside us. A fear of losing someone...a fear of not being getting what is expected , fear of future or fear for not repeating the past, fear for not being loved anymore , the fear of not being needed anymore....and so on. The reasons are endless. But the person who feels it can only express this. One can feel this everywhere , ma
