रे कबीरा-अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य

कैसी तेरी खुदगर्ज़ी
ना धुप चुने ना छांव
कैसी तेरी खुदगर्ज़ी
किसी ठोर टीके ना पाऊँ
बन लिया अपना पैगम्बर
तार लिया तू सात समंदर
फिर भी सुखा मन के अंदर
क्यूँ रह गया
रे कबीरा मान जा
रे फ़कीर मान जा
आजा तुझको पुकारे तेरी परछाइयाँ
रे कबीरा मान जा
रे फ़कीर मान जा
कैसा तू है निर्मोही कैसा हरजैया
टूटी चारपाई वोही ठंडी पुरवाई
रास्ता देखे
ढूंढो की मलाई वोही मिट्टी की सुराही रास्ता देखे
कैसी तेरी खुदगर्ज़ी लाब नमक राम ना मिसरी
कैसी तेरी खुदगर्ज़ी तुझे प्रीत पुराणी बिसरी
मस्त मौला, मस्त कलंदर
तू हवा का एक बवंडर
बुझ के यूँ अन्दर ही अन्दर क्यूँ रह गया…
रे कबीरा मान जा रे फ़कीर मान जा
आजा तुझको पुकारे तेरी परछाइयाँ
रे कबीरा मान जा रे फ़कीर मान जा
कैसा तू है निर्मोही कैसा हरजैया

Life is what you make of it

Just finished reading "Life is what you make of it" by Preeti Shenoy. I must admit that it was worth a read. This book will actually give you feeling to value emotions of yours as well as of others. Some touchy lines of this books are:

1. Sometimes decisions that are taken in the nick of a moment are the ones that have the power to affect a whole train of events that follow. But at the moment of taking those decisions, not much thought goes into them. They are taken in the normal manner and in retrospect, cause a great deal of contrition or remorse.
2. They say destiny changes in moments sometimes.
3. You don't need an occasion to make others feel good. 
4. Life is a celebration.
5. The world is indeed a better place when there is love, friendship, acceptance, and hope.Powered by these, you can indeed overcome anything, including destiny.

Accidental Apprentice

1. Every time I meet a new person I feel like there is a new book that has to be read, a new story that has to listen.
2. The true worth of a job is revealed by the amount of time it takes you to quit it.
3. I have learned more from life than books, and it has taught me that you need just three things to be truly happy in this world: a person that you love, a job that you like, and a dream that you live for.
4. There are skeletons in everyone’s cupboard.
5. Hardship must be borne.
6. Sometimes it takes a trial by fire to overcome our greatest fears, to find out what we are truly made of.
