The one thing to discard in the ‘next normal’

The one thing to discard in the ‘next normal’

Super-busy life: The myth of busy life being a productive life.
In our pursuit of productivity and performance, we had downplayed the simple pleasures of life. We were prioritising people, tasks and activities. We wanted to optimise and maximise everything. We felt guilty of spending time on ourselves. These acts were counter-productive - they damaged us and our organisations more than helping with better results.
I hope we do not take this habit to “next normal”. Let us discover the joy of a balanced and complete life - not just a busy life. The freedom to set our own clock and calendar. The importance of real connect with people. The happiness of discovering strong bonds with family and friends. The joy and meaning we get from catching up with our passions and inner desires. The freedom to be in pyjamas. The freedom to do nothing. The freedom to be self.

Live life to the fullest! Make the most of now! An evergreen message!

Hasrat Jaipuri’s inspiring words are a lesson for living. And especially truly in today’s world. A beautiful song made even more amazing by Kishore Kumar’s wonderful voice.
मौत आनी है, आएगी एक दिन
जान जानी है, जाएगी एक दिन
ऐसी बातों से क्या घबराना
यहाँ कल क्या हो किसने जाना

Movie: Andaz
Song: Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana
Lyrics: Hasrat Jaipuri

How Can We Just Watch?
Let's Help In Any Way We Can! At The End Of What Often Separates Us Is Our Lucky Birth!

Migrant Musings
—————————— Let’s go back
Let’s go back

The city of dreams has failed us
Covid & system has jailed us

The city is divided in multiple zones
Almost all hearts have turned stones

Kind-hearted NGOs indeed show humanity
Though how long can we live on charity?

Labourer, driver, vendor, helper, plumber
All are just a statistical number

Human relations are ephemeral
Selfish interests are eternal

The hands that built villas, offices and malls
Struggle lifetime to get their own four walls

The hands that drive people in imported cars
Often buy more sadness than goods from bazaars

The hands that work tirelessly in factories and shops
Miseries of their heart never stops

The hands that help on farms and break stones
Live a life that is cut to the bones

Let’s go back
Let’s go back

Does a long term future exist?
Is Gandhi’s village economy a myth?

Maybe we will have to return again
Maybe we will have to burn again

Maybe we will have financial stress again
Maybe we will embrace distress again

But today’s separation is a greater pain
Heart has replaced the brain

Let’s go back
Let’s go back

Bribing and begging with the fixer
Stuffing life’s belonging in a concrete mixer

Going back is filled with unpredictability
Reaching home is not a certainty

Tracks have seen many brethren die
Unable to even say final good-bye

Highways are painted with fresh blood red
Rolling suitcases are children’s new bed

May we survive the danger
May we survive the hunger

It will end our tyranny
It will bring rewards many

Mother’s face will shine
Kids’ embrace divine

Life with hope
Life with unity
Life with dignity
Life with humanity

One is a classic line of all time!
One is a mysterious word that keeps everyone guessing! “Here is looking at you kid” - A dialogue that has thousands of emotions built into it! Romance at its bestest best? ‘Rosebud’ - Viktor Frankl would smile as this was a search for meaning indeed!

Nazm Nazm is one of the most loved and hummable so

Nazm Nazm is one of the most loved and hummable songs in recent times.
Simple, tender, poetic and warm words express the romance in a charming way. The beauty of the words stay on…A highly melodious number which celebrates the small-town romance with a taste of bygone era.
तू इत्र-इत्र सा मेरे
साँसों में बिखर जा
मैं फ़कीर तेरे कुर्बत का
तुझसे तू मांगूं रे

तू इश्क़-इश्क़ सा मेरे
रूह में आ के बस जा
जिस ओर तेरी शहनाई
उस ओर मैं भागू रे

Song: Nazm Nazm
Movie: Bareilly Ki Barfi
Lyrics: Arko
