Who Knows

There is a Chinese story of an old farmer who had an old horse for tilling his fields. One day the horse escaped into the hills and, when all the farmer's neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who
knows?" A week later the horse returned with a herd of wild horses from the hills and this time the neighbours congratulated the farmer on his good luck. His reply was, "Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows" Then, when
the farmer's son attempted to tame one of the wild horses, he fell off its back and broke his leg. Everyone thought this very bad luck. Not the farmer, whose only reaction was, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?" Some
weeks later the army marched into the village and conscripted every able-bodied youth they found there. When they saw the farmer's son with his broken leg they let him off. Now was that good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?

Thank you Angel!!

I have an angel. And she is taking care of me.

So its 10 clock at night. I'm at vishal nagar. And there's not a single auto fellow ready to go till my place which is about 4 kms away. I walk into the empty lane that leads to my house cursing pune and the bloody unfairness of it all.
Suddenly a biker stops right in front me and is staring at me.
I'm like - shit. Bad idea to walk on an empty road. But what choice did I have. It was walking or spending the night on the road. So. Anyways. He's got his helmet on and he's wildy gesturing for me to hop onto his bike. I'm in almost in tears just about to run the other way when he says "L! Get on the bike! Its me, P!"
Oh! I know this person! He's a casual friend and I know him very cursorily. But the joy that runs through me on seeing him and his simple kind act - its enormous. I run , but this time upto him, almost hug him and hop onto the bike.
Situation went from pathetic to lucky in a second! Better start leaving office earlier now...

Thank you, Angel. And thank you, God.

:)

Until next time...

Beautiful Monday!

Its a monday morning, and I'm on my way to work (which is in another land far far away).
Everywhere I see, I'm getting signs that its going to be a beautiful day!
And then, that all-knowing-inner-voice whispers "love, its going to be a beautiful life."
I like.
At least this monday, I like.

Until next time...

God Knows

Cigarette ke dhue ka challa bana ke
Collar ko thoda sa upar chadhake
Sochna hai kya
Jo hona hai hoga
Chal pade hain fikr yaaron dhue mein udake

Until next time...
