LiFe .....aS I sAy


No one has ever dared to delineate Life…..even the great philosophers pretend that they defined LIFE as difference between the dead and the alive..sounds inane …isn’t it…..does life only mean difference between living and dead…Does the scope of definition of LIFE so diminutive that it refers only for living organisms …sound bullshit for me?

Even dictionary also refers dead as inorganic and lifeless.

I feel LIFE is an expedition where everything in this beautiful world which undergoes transformation since its existence, to demean itself. …I know most of the people will giggle at my words…..saying RaKeSh you really need a break….but I know what I mean to say and I completely stick to my terms.

You start from scrap learn, earn your potential and finally lead to the path of salvation. It is not the way the life proceeds but the journey that makes me think of it. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Sometimes when I am alone I always ask myself am I doing what is supposed to be good in my life or I am leading it the way as it comes…and the answer is ….$?#*#?$.

My journey of life could have been disenchanted with vagueness; uncertainty and indecision which would have made me feel lonely and defeated. But I always remember the words by some great philosophers “There is something to be said for trusting in the universe, having blind faith that no matter how much pain you are in, or how out of control everything around you feels, it is all happening for a reason.” I always focus on the exquisiteness around me, live in the moment, I know that all this pain I am going through will allow me to grow as a human, develop a deeper understanding of who I am and where I am heading towards.

I came across a few people on my journey through life who I refer to as a Great people. My own personal definition of a great people is someone with implausible heart and courage; completely noble and munificent; someone with immense willpower and audacity; eternal capacity to love and appreciate; someone who lives and loves like there's no tomorrow. Such great people pave the ideal paths for other to follow. I am blessed that I got to learn from them.
But for me I have focused throughout my life on three basic things – rewarding career, loving family, active social lives. And I will live up to my own expectations. It is said that Love is the greatest gift of all to the mankind. Be kind to yourself in the quest for happiness and peace of mind, to live a wonderful life. ..

There is a good saying in Chinese which says “the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. You are already well on your way. You have already travelled from your mother's womb, through babyhood, negotiated the tricky path of infancy and childhood, and now stand on the threshold of adolescence and adulthood.”…very well said isn’t it. We take one step and one day at a time to travel through the journey called LiFe.

Let us urge to the god to “Guide us along the path of life. Help us to learn from the things we have already seen and done. Shield us from despair, protect us from danger, and bring us safely towards you at the end of our journey.”

WhEn wiLL I bE preFect WitH a GiRl

We say sincerity is the superlative approach. And we always forget that actions really do speak louder than words. So many people haphazardly pitch those three paranormal words (I Love You) around. But when time comes to speak they back up those words by showing off differently. Nothing major or elaborate is necessary. Little things can be so much more meaningful than overblown displays.

Many a times I perceive I am not so comfortable with girls might be I am too good with them or they expect much more from me or may be the reason might be completely different.

I am not at all talking about the friendship with them but about the feelings for a single amongst them. I am always good as a friend with any girl; they would hardly find anyone better than me around but when any sort of relationship comes in picture I am bit panicky.

People say be yourself, be natural, Respect her then she will be comfortable with you. Look here I am confused what is a “be yourself situation” If I am a boy why will I present in front of her as a girl. Rather I would say I am proud to be “Be yourself natural boy”. Just joking with you folks.

Different people have different story to tell. I long back asked my friend how did he proposed to a girl he loved and he said, well RaKesh, she was (“look the word was”) very special for me. “I said my love you are like a flower so I got a huge bouquet of roses just to say how much I love you and how much you mean to me”.
Total filmy isn’t it. People seam to be so driven away by the masala filmy dialogs that they become so artistic that a girl becomes a flower for them and year after years these flowers multiply. And now the same friend has a different dialog. God please save him and the girls he proposed.

Another contradictory statement I heard “Before proposing the girl, try to understand her body language. If she is sitting crossed leg and her feet pointing towards you then she is simply interested in you”. Tell me Am I taking a sort of interview and even if I decided to study her body language I am afraid I would be badly bitten up. Body language for proposing, “A BIG NO”.

All of us are so used to some of the above stated scenarios that we expect it the same way and this where I face the problem. I hate these plastic sort of dialogs I do really feel if somebody is fond of you he/she will get carried by you. I will never utter a word!!!

"To describe love is very difficult, for the same reason that words cannot fully describe the flavor of an orange. You have to taste the fruit to know its flavor. So with love." ----Paramahansa Yogananda

Me with Myself

Plenty of subjects are into my mind but habitually when I start writing I always jumble up with the start this is an unusual thing I always face. But yes I need to start.....

I have been reading plenty of blogs till date I wished I had one but never started as I always had my dairy of words scribbled, may be I was confused to let others know what’s on my mind or may me I am to lethargic to type in my blog.

God alone knows what may be the reason?

Before starting with anything I think it’s time for a short and sweet introduction. Don’t you worry I am not going to Skewer you by rambling, recapping my life story, delving into history or personal matters.


I'd say that I am a diverse combination of many ostensibly contradictory things. This can be exemplified in both my allegedly everlasting determination on many topics and arguments, as well as my careful cautiousness on other topics and arguments. This is largely due to how judicious I am of the topic: more knowledge, more persistent; less knowledge, obviously more cautious. I also have times of fanatical compulsions regarding certain things.


I am logically a smart person on most things, and also am exceedingly ingenious. I do feel that I am funny, though surely not everyone is funny all the time. My humor would probably best be labeled very wry and sarcastic, though it is quite fun to just plain laugh at the silliness of things lots of times.

Let me see for myself, from today onwards how much regularly I manage to blog……time will decide the worth of creating this blog.....
