Raining Happiness

Reincarnation of Life….

The Bare Truth….

I was born without a stitch to my name
I was that pure soul clothed by a human form
The body given was also rented
To sample the offerings of this world

It was the most miraculous adventure
As I writhed out of my mother’s body
With a triumphant wail I announced
My arrival in this sensational world

Soon I forgot my original self
Permanency being bestowed to this temporariness
I spent every waking moment pampering it crazy
With luxuries I could afford and yearning for more

My mind churned such beautiful thoughts ideas
Which I wanted to share with this world
Somehow I developed cold feet when the right time came
All being buried in me

One day someone said the most expensive land
Was none other than the graveyard
As many were buried along with their hopes aspirations dreams
Which never saw the daylight

One important advice everyone should follow
Is to ” Die Empty” of all thoughts desires passions
Nothing in this world was ours
And never would be
So why carry unwanted baggage
When we could Die Empty

Early my day starts with the alarm ringing
From a nightmare I get up all groggy with sleep
Feeling disoriented dishevelled and tired
As I get up to face another replica of the previous day

Before folding my hands in prayer
I first switch off the charging of the laptop
And of the mobile phone along with other chargers
Giving into temptation I peek into my messages
One or the other holds my interest
And my time of prayer passes by

After finishing the daily morning rituals
I happen to see the headlines of the newspaper
Reading the news I feel like an alien in this world
I put in the tablet and hot coffee spurts from my nespresso
I had to invest hours to understand
How to make coffee in this machine

On the way to office as there is always traffic
I listen to podcasts of speakers in fact motivational ones being the rage
I listen to my favourite Golden era songs
And if mood be spiritual discourses of my Guru
WhatsApp messages keep popping to some which I reply
With the phone tinkling in between as I see the crowds pass by

As I enter the office I swipe into my attendance software
Clicking a selfie of myself near my desk
There is no dearth of data being spewed from excel sheets
CRM ERP MIS reports you name it its all there
Google spread sheets Google drive Google mails
I’m sure I’ll leave this world as a machine some day

Social media is so cool one following the other
Instagram Facebook Linkedin Twitter being so popular
Cafes are sprouting all over to provide spaces
For these savvy media lovers

Online relationships are booming as online dating becomes popular
Where is the time left for nurturing true relationships
Where is the time left for cooking at home
With all the apps floating I order my food
From Amazon the rest of my accessories come
Where am I heading I wonder

Even my nostrils are drowning in information
I feel suffocated scared of what will next happen
Soon I’ll have to enter a rehab to detoxify myself
To once again feel the fresh air.

1. Be decisive about your decisions taken. Right or wrong stick to it.

2. Take help and advise from others to reach your goals.

3. Offer gratitude and be humble.

4. Never take credit for successes achieved. Offer the credit to your Guru, your
parents, your guide, your spouse or people who have impacted your thinking.

5. Do your homework well. Impromptu speeches may not be so impactful.

6. Always speak from your heart. Emotional connection is the most important
magnetic quality which attracts.

11. Everyone likes a well designed, interesting, well modulated, humorous story.

12. Grab a mike, get set, go.

13. The biggest secret is to visualise your success, the applause long before the
actual event.

From birth a child is weaned
In its food habits, toilet training,
The separation of good and bad habits
The right touch the wrong touch
With great education backup
We make a mark in life
Well suited booted, an accent to die for
All so knowledgeable and intellectual
An ego so well fed
That you feel your flying not walking on air

Have you ever realised when we go to attend nature’s calls
Which can no longer be controlled, all waiting to spill out
We mumble something incoherent to the person next to us
As we make a dash to the nearby toilet
Nothing is more embarrassing than to meet a co worker
We don’t even acknowledge each other
As if we are fearful of getting caught red handed
In the sensational robbery case of the year

Relax nature has designed us this way
What you eat has to go out
As the body wasn’t designed like a store house
Just as thoughts aren’t ours garbage is also not ours
Feel proud to say your going to use the toilet
Just as if you were going to the church or temple

Its all in the attitude my friends
Set an example for others as in this
You’ll have a multitude of followers
Life is all about eating and deleting
Money investments homes cannot be eaten
But can definitely provide a three course meal
Lets proudly satisfy our taste buds
And use the toilets waiting for us
