Fountain

It was a lousy Sunday evening and I was lying at my Friend’s place waiting for the IPL match to start. I hadn’t missed any of its matches (IPL didn’t pay me for that of course…).

At his place he had a wonderful Fountain show piece. I great combination of Art and Science was seen in that show piece. I saw that and wondered, hey dude, where was it so many days? But he was busy sleeping, DAMN! he don’t like watching cricket! I got up from bed, went there to see it. And then Engineer in me woke up, filled up water in it, checked the water level, and without any waiting, plugged it to the mains. The light glowed, motor in it started working some noise came and then a beautiful music started. The water I poured came out through the nozzles and I just kept watching it… Coz it was not the water that was amusing me, but there were small metal balls about a size of black pepper on those nozzles which were thrown up and down as the water came from that nozzle.

There were around 8 nozzles surrounding a center nozzle. That was great fun watching it. I kept it on the table, and for the first time I in the tournament I didn’t watch about 10 overs of an innings.

Watching that center ball which was most of the times above all the other small balls around it and after a very long time for a very low pitched sound coming right down to bottom, a thought Clicked in my mind…

Our Life isn’t any different from this… Our life teaches us many lessons, takes us to the top of the level, where we are able to achieve anything in life. We see people around us, trying to compete with us, to be there at our place, at our level. But then, as life takes us to top, it always has his own ways of teaching us how to deal with low downs in the Life. And this it does as per the degree of toughness the person has. If he is capable of tackling problems without any difficulty, without getting depressed he has to face the toughest problem… But then this is done because no one should get overwhelmed by his success. Life can take you at your lowest point, just to show you. Hey! This is the place where you have started… don’t forget it… It’s still vacant.

After all the time spent at the bottom, Life is surely going to lift you to the Top where you deserve to be. So the morale is never loose hope, never underestimate your own capabilities. Nothing is impossible to achieve unless you have true dedication and a lot of Positive attitude.

Bammm! And there goes another one sailing over the ropes for a SIX! Matthew Hayden is in top form of his career. I just saw the center ball again which was sailing on the top… and started watching the match…. Go Chennai Super Kings!!!

Heart - A Slate

My Heart....

The place where emotions reside... Thinking of comparing it with something I thought of many things....

Firstly, the Universal Solvent WATER, Is heart like water to some extent I thought yes. As water can dissolve many things in it, heart also can dissolve all things in it...It can dissolve the overwhelming Joy...also with it the toughest Truth and Sorrow.

But then while dissolving all things in it, water takes same color as that thing, where Heart has the capability to keep its Originality even when keeping all things with it...That Property I think hardly any other thing has…

This thing is the one helps everyone to Move On in there LIFE even after they face any of the worst conditions...

But then, I Heart is like SLATE....

Slate has two sides for us to write on it. Heart also has two sides… Whatever thoughts which are very close to us, which we always like to keep for our sake only are written on the side facing us. And the things which we think should be open for others, which we want some person to read are always written on the other side.

The side open to all is connected to our eyes, face and all other parts. The important thing is the reactions other parts give when anything is written on this side are not controlled by us. And the side facing us, which we don’t want others to read is also connected to all other parts but then its in our control to express it by the help of our other body parts

Now Why am writing all this, the reason being everyone doesn’t know what to write on which side. I will chalk down my observations

1)Some write all there Happy Moments on the side facing them and never express those, thus making them dumb people. This doesn’t make them get socialize.

2)Some write everything on the side facing other people, always showing all there emotions. These people are always hyper about all the situations and never try to keep anything with them. Whatever they think, whatever they feel, they just have no control on it.

3)Some actually try to show that they are smart. And smartly place things on the two sides. Sometimes while doing this they do mess up and show there over-smartness to people.

4)Some of them are too emotional, they forget that writing everything on the side facing them and that too showing only the sad part of it to people is not right. People loose the respect for them and they just see these kind of people with Sympathy.



I Have a Solution for this. See our heart is a slate. Yes with a lot of memory space no doubt. But then the thing is that we can wash any side of it. When you write anything on the side facing towards yourselves, you have the choice to read it or wash it s per your wish… But then there are some things which you should write on the other side which the world should see or at least show it to some person whom you are close to. When you write anything on the other side, other people have a chance to rub it, wash it! Here plays the role of Best Friend!! A Best Friend knows very well how to wash things out from your heart, only if they are hurting you.
And then there are some things which we have with us, which we don’t want anyone to see but are hurting us a lot, which are affecting our Life a lot, which always come in our way whenever we are starting a new work, are to be removed. These are the things which affect our Life, it’s hard to remove them, but then Rain is such a great source to wash all these things. Best way is open up the other side of our heart in the rain and let the rain do the job which you are not able to do. Just sit in the rain, cry for a while, let your tears help it wash down, and then you will be a free person. Free of any sorrows. Just as fresh as you were before any sorrow attacked you.

See… knowing this funda makes you feel better. At least it makes you get prepared for any kind of bad days ahead. Always try too keep things clear. Don’t let anyone to get to the other side of your heart. Never let the things to mix up while writing in our Heart. Try to sort out things which thing should go where in our Heart and many of the Problems will get sorted. Atleast Problems from our own side are eliminated and the we can face other problems with more energy.

This is how I think. Till now I have neither seen any side effect nor any bad effect. If this helps anyone it will be great news for me. Always be Happy, Share your views your thoughts, your joy, your sorrow and always keep a SMILE on a face. It costs nothing. Be happy and Make others Happy…

An Angel......

A true story of a person, who enters as a Doctor, becomes a part of family, cures my DAD as a GOD...and then...leaves the world like an Angel....

Yes, it’s a true story, rather an experience I would like to share with u all.

My dad was down with an incurable disease GBS. Physiotherapy was the only treatment which will help my dad to get better. Else all was left to his luck. Then came Dr. Pralhad as a Physiotherapist who took my dad's exercises.

He fixed his timing, and gave instructions to my dad on how the exercises will be done, how the procedure will go on. He was very true to his work. Never skipped a day, he visited twice to my place for exercises and that to by managing his working hours at Dr. Talele's Hospital. He always kept patients on top Priority and then his family and his own life! Whenever he entered our house my dad used to ask him when will I be able to walk, when will I be able to stand, sit at least move my hands. But he had a plenty of Patience with him, never got irritated by the same questions of his patients... At times we used to loose patience but he always answered him calmly! After a month or so, we called our Doctor (my uncle) in KEM and asked him what should be the next step in the treatment because even after 2 months there was hardly any growth in his condition! He without even caring for his own brother, at least giving a hope for the patient answered he is going to be like this forever, just keep praying to god and continue with the exercises.

After spending a lot of money is this what do expect from Science and Technology?? Is this what the research scientists have done in Medical field? Many questions challenging development in Medical field came to our mind... But no one answered other than Dr. Pralhad... He always tried to explain us what has actually happened... While doing this within few days he was just like a member of our family.

Once when he was talking to his father about my dad's case his father heard my dad's name and pondered. What Tilak?? He asked what happened and then came the true relation!! The thing was... My grandfather was settled in Dombivli (west). it was a chawl there. There in that chawl, used to live Dr Pralhad's father with his brother's at there aunt’s place. His Father knew my Grandfather very well and also my dad. But then my dad was too young when Dr's dad got a job in Bank and his new home in Dombivli (E). After that there was no contact for 38 years...

But this world is too small... we had to meet again. After knowing this we were just amazed... Didn’t have words that where and how did God made us meet again!! This made my dad to give his more efforts... Till then there was improvement seen in my dad's health, he was able to move his hands, after 6-8 months he started moving his hands nicely, but then he had no power to lift anything, neither his fingers had that much grip that he will hold anything. 1 year passed by and now there was some improvement seen in legs also. In next few months he started standing by his own, then walking. 1 and half years were gone, Dr Pralhad gave his treatment with his full energy and all his efforts were paid, as he saw my dad walking. There were tears in his eyes when my dad took first step after a year. He was so involved, He was the only one who was confident that my dad will walk, he will do all his work independently, but then all he told us was keep patience, everything is going to be alright, which came true. Today my dad is able to work on his own, do all his activities by his own. He came to our help as a Doctor and cured the disease and also our minds that anything is possible if you keep hope and keep trying for it!

What a great person he was. Yes, He was! After 6 months of completing my dad's treatment, he suddenly without any symptoms caught Chest Infection, he was hospitalized but then in 3 days his health condition declined and now, he is no more.... He was just 32 years young, just married.


Helping his younger brother complete his education... Helping mom and dad in there work. His father was such a great follower of god. There rules were very much strict then too what did God do to there family? He cured so many people.... everyone just gave blessings to him. No one ever could have said a bad word about him, this was his personality! He was a Good Friend, Good Son, Good Brother, Good Husband, Good Doctor, Good Teacher....he was a GOOD PERSON...

Is this is expected to happen to such Good people. That’s why I said. He came as a Doctor, cured as God and went as an Angel.

He is not in between us today, but will always be there in our Hearts... All the Best for his Journey.
