Meditation
Watch your breath ! It takes some training
but if you watch your breath or keep your breath within your awareness ,
whatever else you are doing at that moment, something miraculous happens.
You just never let go of your control . The
breath regulates your thoughts, your reactions and your emotions.
If you notice, the pattern of your breath
changes with the quality of your emotions. When you are angry, your breath is
shallow and fast. In meditation, your breath slows down .
People get confused about what exactly
meditation is. Constant breath awareness is nothing short of meditation. There
is no need to sit down specially, and close your eyes and try to remove your
thoughts. Many people find this frustrating and they drop meditation
completely. For these people, I would really recommend watching your breath and
experiencing beautiful changes.

Peaceful and Content
I wrote this based on my observation of
close bonds being diluted due to non communication :
The uneasy silence of unspoken words .
The strain of meeting as if all is well.
The restless soul that feels this pain ,
And suffers in helplessness.
Of being so close but, oh ! So distant !
The boundary stretched across ,
Irrevocably perhaps ?
When and how did this happen ?
Only God would know !
As awareness , lost in the darkness of
life’s events
Not retrieved , as time knocked out what
could have been. ...
Talk to me, for I am no stranger..
Tell me how you feel..
Surprise me with your warmth ..
I know it lurks somewhere within ..
Just break the barrier..
It can’t be so hard !
The other beseeches you
But you keep your ego intact.
Futile ! Think a while !
For cruel is time
And fragile is life.
Atone, amend, salvage the bonds
For, death stands just beyond that door..
And regrets and guilt an inch away from
that door.
So, build bridges.
Rebuild the burnt ones
Reconstruct the old, loving patterns.
Let your heart be peaceful and content.

Ambitions
We do many things out of being misguided.
One of the most tragic ones is living through your children. Life often fails
to give you what you want. That is sad. But for you to force your children to
take the path you wanted to is definitely an injustice to them. Ambitions
cannot be imposed upon anyone externally. Besides, that was your life. This is
theirs.
Ironically, we repeat what our parents did
to us that are, not letting the kids have the freedom to choose, to make
independent but informed decisions.
Children who are bulldozed into deviating
from their desired goals are often angry and frustrated later in life, likewise
with children trying to wreak vengeance on behalf of their parents or loved
ones.
It is our duty to guide our kids alright,
but not coerce them and on no account, to make them into anything but wholesome
individuals.
