" EKLA CHALO RE " - WALK ALONE






The state of being sinecure is something we need daily.Every morning my mother has a habit of playing this poem written by Rabindranath Tagore and when I listen to it quietly with a cup of tea and soaking up winter sun, I feel tears just come close to spillover and I somehow control my heart which fills with strength, strength so strong it makes you weep and it tells you something when I goggled today and i was curious to know its Hindi translation I feel like I must share it here.The source is Wikipedia. I am a brief writer so I'm not going to expatiate.

Translation In Hindi:

तेरी आवाज़ पे कोई ना आये तो फिर चल अकेला रे
फिर चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला रेओ तू चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला रे
तेरी आवाज़ पे कोई ना आये तो फिर चल अकेला रेफिर चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला रे
यदि कोई भी ना बोले ओरे ओ रे ओ अभागे कोई भी ना बोलेयदि सभी मुख मोड़ रहे सब डरा करेतब डरे बिना ओ तू मुक्तकंठ अपनी बात बोल अकेला रेओ तू मुक्तकंठ अपनी बात बोल अकेला रे
तेरी आवाज़ पे कोई ना आये तो फिर चल अकेला रे
यदि लौट सब चले ओरे ओ रे ओ अभागे लौट सब चलेयदि रात गहरी चलती कोई गौर ना करेतब पथ के कांटे ओ तू लहू लोहित चरण तल चल अकेला रे
तेरी आवाज़ पे कोई ना आये तो फिर चल अकेला रे
यदि दिया ना जले ओरे ओ रे ओ अभागे दिया ना जलेयदि बदरी आंधी रात में द्वार बंद सब करेतब वज्र शिखा से तू ह्रदय पंजर जला और जल अकेला रेओ तू हृदय पंजर चला और जल अकेला रे
तेरी आवाज़ पे कोई ना आये तो फिर चल अकेला रेफिर चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला रेओ तू चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला रे



After reading this translation somehow I understood why my mother plays it early morning. No wonder literature and laurets like Rabindranath have written such poems which can make you weep with strength. Ignite minds and set your soul ablaze. Songs have been a very big motivation in my life. And I'm sure it is the same with many of you. You must understand no matter how bad life treats you and tests your soul, ruptures it to the core It is for you to fight back with inner peace. Many a times a situation so happens that we totally give up on life and start thinking there is nothing more. I suggest you must listen to this "EKLA CHALO RE" It will strengthen you and give you impeccable courage. And you will gather strength.

Many a times I feel when a person is humble he/she has to face mental civil war while making decisions. And so that is how most of us make choices. We must always remember life is to be lived alone with others. 

You need to do your own push ups nobody else will come and do it for you. You will have to eat your own food and gather strength nody else will eat for you and make you healhty. You have to work hard and fight back making choices nobody will come and fight for you. It never happens in school when we give exams our friends,family or relatives are allowed to give our paper. So why in some areas of life we think somebody else is responsible for our life.S
Sometimes in predicament when I face any predicament I feel skeigh that I always novitiate to face it alone. And I believe this is the reason how you become confident in life.

You don't need ratiocination in life for daily strength,what is right is right. I always admire Marilyn Monroe for the courage to live the way she lived. Though her demise is always what I feel is controversial cause she was a sprightly strong woman and she said so beautifully about life : 

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” 
Marilyn Monroe

So gather your strength and be confident cause this world is technically jungle no matter how much we evolve and become civilized there always be mental war going on. Previously in 10 000 BC we fought for food and shelter and now it's our fight for respect,identity,strength and war has gone digital. So be very strong and be very confident and be proud of the fact that the best way to enjoy life is alone cause when you learn that skill you will always enjoy with others too. But first and formost you need to learn to be happy with yourself and enjoy life and be happy.This also makes you independent in most of the things.You don't depend on others in many of the things. You can always enjoy movies alone,shopping alone and then if you get company you enjoy double.So it is indeed win win situation.

Happiness is 'YOU'










All these years I have been thinking to write about what I THINK and how I feel its been many a times my friends and my people have asked me to pen down what I think. M a new blogger so it might so happen that I will make certain mistakes. Pardon me!!!

My today's topic is my understanding towards being "SOLO", Yes!! Surprised???? But yes I love myself more than anybody else could have loved me. Do not misunderstand it with self obsession. That’s very different. You may call me a NARCIST though. Self confidence is the key to be passionate in life.

One must always feel strong to face deep challenges in life. As we so know life is not that easy its all about how you make it. Living each and every second completely and beautifully. Few years back I read one book by Anthony Robbins and it was then since I changed my view towards things around me. Till then I always believed that somebody else is responsible for keeping you Happy. I was wrong and if you are facing such confusions in your life I bet you would too be sleeping restless Nights meandering in your dreams.
There are millions who have troubles in their life, Yes LOVE, WEALTH, JOB, LUCK etc etc etc. You name it and we all have it to name a few. It is not easy to handle destiny its too vast. Its better to go with the flow. Through and through I realized the more we try to control things the more they play Nasty. My first feeling to share with you is Let go the illusion of Control. Live in the moment. Believe in things that God has blessed you with. Everything changes in Life TIME is our best friend and we must trust it if we don't get what we want right now.

When ever I desire something and I fail to get it I always utter 'There is always next time". And if I don't get it then It was never meant to be mine. Have faith have courage to fight with circumstances. I saw Amitabh Bachchan's interview few days back and he said it so beautifully, "In this game of life the fight is yours , solely yours. Its like a wrestling Ring where you are fighting all alone with your opponent, others are there but only as cheerleaders. You have to fight your battle alone" Well spoken words.

Who so ever you are wherever you are and in whatever circumstance you are Trust yourself and time. Loving yourself alone is the most beautiful thing you can do and because of that you will LOVE others flawlessly. Its Ok to travel alone,Ok to relax in spa, OK to cherish meal at restaurant,OK to visit hospital alone to go out for shopping alone. Cherish each moment with honesty and be genuine.Its ok to be upset.And at the same time ok to be equally happy. Keep atmosphere at peace with harmony.
