“What Moves us... Does the Magic" and Other Stories on Wisdom

Mini Stories on Wisdom and Life
“What moves us... does the magic"

"I meditated for one hour yesterday. But I found no peace. My mind is still cluttered with thoughts. How do I find peace and magic you talk about?” she asked him.

"I will tell you a new way of meditation, "Love meditation". It is simple. Just take few pictures of someone you wholeheartedly love, your nephew for example. Look at the pics with love and smile at them. Get completely absorbed in the moments you have spent together. Feel love and peace entering each cell of your body. And you will find more than peace. You will find magic and Nirvana.” he replied.

"Is it that simple?” she asked.

"Yes. And sometimes you can look at our pictures too if you are not scared of falling in love with me once again", he joked.

"Look like an Angel"

"Light fluorescent colours suit you the most. You look absolutely like an", he said and paused.

"Why can't you compliment properly? Can't you say that I look like an angel?” she asked.

"That is what I was planning to say. And then rang the words of Elvis Presley in my ears. "Look like an angel. Talk like an angel. Walk like an angel. You the devil in disguise. Oh yes you are....” he replied.

Alas, his tenure as hummingbird did not last too long. She took hold of the pillow and then came the end of the song.

The Human Connection

"Why does one connect with some people in seconds and with some even a lifetime is not enough?” she asked him.

"Kahin to ye dil kabhi mil nahin paate. Kahin pe nikal aayein janmon ke naate" (with some people the hearts never connect and with some you discover a past birth connection), he replied.

"No poetry and philosophy please. Tell me the answer", she insisted.

"Someone has rightly said,'However affectionate and open you try to be, people can meet you only as deeply as they have met themselves", he answered with a mystic smile.

"Yessss.. you have given a wise answer after a long time though the wisdom is still borrowed", she left no opportunity to tease him.

An Uncomfortable Soul- A Short Story

Once again she has started talking to herself. It’s her‘alone-time’ when thousands of thoughts are crossing her mind. All those questions that include ‘Why me?’and every situation that made her feel bad is flashing from the past.She has a bunch of people around her. Those people who have different mindsets, different goals, and different approach towards life.  May be she builds stronger bonds with lesser people. She is questioning herself, “Is it worth being here?”May be she doubts because,in this temporary world, she still believes in profound talks and eternal relationships. Not just her life revolves around building connections rather she believes in living them. People often perceive her as one with detached persona.But she is a human with reserved emotions who takes a while to truly open up.She hardly discusses her emotions except when she feels she has built a strong enough connection with a person. No doubt, socializing is a difficult task for her. An

18th January, 2013 And how a book changed my life forever? Caution-Nobody is a complete extrovert or introvert. These are tendencies and we all are on different points of the scale. We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed. The credit for this goes to Social Media (aka Facebook, Linkedin Twitter and others), which arrived around 2006. Social Media gives an opportunity to introverts to express themselves from the computer (later they can come out in the open to express their passions.) Sometime back, Raja Choudhury, well known Digital Filmmaker-Director & Founder, Universal Quest & C3CUBE Multimedia, recommended me to read The New York Time
