Yeh dil na-samjii mein


War between Dhamma and Desires

Yeh (dil) na-samjii mein jaane kaisi kaisi baat karta hai,
Na jaane kaunsi chizoh pe kya-kar kitna marta hai.

Esse har pal rulaane rang-bi-rangi aas aati hai,
Na chahe phirbhi roune ko nayi yeh aas karta hai,
Yeh na-samjii mein jaane kaisi kaisi baat karta hai.

Dharam ka naam lekar aas se ladhkar abhi khush hai,
Magar phir ladte ladte jeetne ki aas karta hai,
Yeh na-samjii mein jaane kaisi kaisi baat karta hai.

English Translation:

This heart in its ignorance deisres so wierdly,
It dies on different things, at different levels
by doing so many different things.

Desire comes near by the heart to hurt him and cause
him pain, the heart replys back by desiring more,
unnoticingly.

The heart uses Dhamma to fightback and feels relief
for a while but then suddenly unnoticingly inbetween
it again start to desire to win the battle ans so looses.

"NoBoDy" speaks in a language weirder then its existence. I named it “SiLence”. "NoBoDy" even yells sometimes, just like us. And "NoBoDy" yells in so hard that I always try to switch to our action mode , the one which we are so much used to, and so are completely unconscious about, most of the time. I mean things like listening to music, thinking, planning, gazing at something, playing games, reading etc in simple words. I figured out that this makes it stop yelling. And so I try my best to kind of keep beating it every now and then, by using our action mode technique. "NoBoDy" belongs to "No Country” following “No Religion” and it’s the purest form of religion I have come to...

Beware of Trailers

I remember chatting with one of my friend back in 2002 wherein I jokingly said “ seeing the trailer means seeing the movie these days ” after which we gagged a little bit and continued talking about other stuff. But I personally can’t ignore this fact anymore as it applies to not only Bollywood but also Hollywood. Been constantly watching movies ever other weekend, since I graduated in 2010, I have enough experience by now to claim it with unshakable authority that ‘Trailers kills all the fun!’ I have personally tested the validity of this fact many times knowingly but at times unknowingly as well. Like the first movie I saw on big screen in U.S. was ‘Avatar’ and I am damn proud that it was. I avoided seeing any trailers, reading any reviews, so I had no idea about what I am going to see. The only bias I had in my mind before watching ‘Avatar’ was that it’s from ‘James Camerons’ the guy who directed ‘Titanic’. I had waited almost two years to break the record of seeing a m...
