WHEN A BIRD IS ALIVE, IT EATS ANTS... WHEN THE BIRD DIES, ANTS EAT THE BIRD










What is genuine and good reveals itself, sooner or later… Yes, no matter how much our opponents try to tarnish it with taint or bury it under muck. They cannot stop what is genuine and good from revealing itself, when time comes.

Similarly works its counterpart: What is fake and bad reveals itself, sooner or later, too… Yes, no matter how desperately and aggressively we try to ‘sell it’ through our might and propaganda, along the way suppressing and oppressing the genuine and the good. When time comes - and as they say, when the tide changes – the bluff gets exposed…

That’s the cycle of Karma: If we do good, the good comes back to us… It’s only a matter of time.

The question, therefore, is this: What about those who hurt us and try to destroy us relentlessly?  Yes, many a time, we find ourselves helpless in front of this tyranny. We do tend to think, often, that there is no divine justice…

There is… There is!

Time doesn’t spare any tyrant. Every tyrant in history has been brought to his knees… He has ended up very, very badly. Hitler. Saddam Hussein. Osama… Aurangazeb!

The good lasts longer than bad. The genuine outshines the fake!

Silvester Stallone once said:
“There's a natural law of Karma, that vindictive people, who go all the way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone.”

We do not have to go after the tyrants and the heartless. Their tyranny and heartlessness are enough to give them what they deserve… It’s just a matter of time. Karma, as they say, has a surprising way of taking care of all seemingly tyrannical situations. All that we need is loads of patience to hold the fort… And, all that we need to do is: sit back and watch… Allow karma to do its job!

Here is a little video of amazing quotes about Karma sent to me by my friend, Srinath, this morning:




The one that moved me the most was:
“When a bird is alive, it eats ants;
when the bird dies, ants it the bird.
Circumstances can change at any time…
Don’t devalue or hurt anyone in this life…
You may be powerful today;
but, Time is more powerful than you.”


Yes, Time doesn’t spare anyone… It’s more powerful than the deadliest of the tyrants!

MUTHU KODI KAWARI HADA

Pic.; Ashwin Mohta M y Hindi was always bad. It still is. One reason for this was, that they introduced Hindi for us only in 6 th standard. Or, was it in 8 th ? I don’t remember… I only remember struggling to write and read… leave alone speak! But, I loved Hindi movies, and, strangely, I could understand the dialogues and the lyrics of the songs… I used to sing those songs (of course when no one was around me!) as if I was the lyricist… One of the songs was a very funny one. ‘Muthu Kodi Kawari Hada’. It was from Mehmood’s super-hit comedy – ‘Do Phool’. I was a 15-year-old high-school boy when I had heard that song (not watched the movie). I could grasp the meaning of two words – ‘Muthu Kodi’… which meant ‘Give kiss’… But, what ‘Kawari Hada’ meant, I have no clue till date! It was just like ‘Why this kolaveri di’... Yes, why ask? Simply enjoy the beats… And, the beats are great… The rest... Who cares? Really! So, whatever bit of Hi

"HAPPILY EVER AFTER IS NOT A FAIRY-TALE... IT IS A CHOICE"

“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone… It has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.” – Ursula K. Le Guin,  The Lathe of Heaven T welve years ago, when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got married, the world began to hail the couple as ‘Brangelina’. It became a fashion for couples around us to call themselves so… Norbert and Teresa renamed them as ‘Noresa’…  Amol and Vishaka baptized their relationship as ‘Amoshka’… and, Salman and Nargis became ‘Salgis’! I and my wife, too, got tempted to re-christian our matrimonial relationship as ‘Germa’... That is, Gerald and Anima, to be precise! B efore I proceed any further, let me make it very clear, here… that, I have no business to judge on the break-up of Brad Pitt and Angelina’ Jolie’s marriage. I have no inclination to go into why, how, what when etc behind it… The couple ‘chose’ to split. And, it’s their choice… Only they know how good or bad… how joyful or painful that

SELLING MIRRORS IN THE CITY OF THE BLIND

“I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. I laugh when I hear that people go on pilgrimage to find God.” - Kabir T here is a universal human weakness – and it dates back to the days of fallen civilizations – and it is: to place people on pedestal and trying to be smothered by them, feel loved and protected in their company… worship them as mentors, heroes,  gurus, Mahagurus and Satgurus… Make these mortals larger-than-life cut-outs, worship them as flawless, pure and give one’s all… And, then, ‘take’ everything from them blindly as divine… Give everything to them blindly… Eventually, what happens is:  one more dangerous bondage… What was supposed to free you now becomes a new prison… It’s sad to see this happen! T his room, where I am writing this Post, has no image of any deity. I have no image of any Guru or Master around me… My question is: “Am I not able to feel close to Almighty God?  How does it matter
