Happiness- Feeling the Heartbeat.

What most of the people feel nowadays when they are sharing something good with their close ones isn't happiness but its a state that stays for a time being while happiness means that you feel the heartbeat of the person who's sharing that good news with you.

A state which i felt today after a very long time and a state which made me dance and simultaneously cry as well. Why this happened, i myself was unaware for a moment because i wasn't listening to that person rather i was feeling his emotions. It seemed as, while he's sharing his emotions and i am his heartbeat that very moment.

Even though we were physically 3700 kms away from each other and it was just a telephonic conversation but we both didn't shied away from feeling each others flow of emotions. I was not only happy but i was controlling myself not to get drown in the emotions but neither could i resist nor did he stopped me.

Here i would like to quote Mirza Ghalib, 

"Is Qadar Keemti To Na Tha Mera Chain-o-Sukoon,
Loot Ker Lay Gaya Wo Kisi Anmol Khazaney Ki Tarah."

Translation

''My peace and calmness wasn't so precious,
that she took away as if it was a prized treasure"

I can go on and on and on writing about the conversation we had but let my emotions and my words be with me so that i can cherish them each and every time in my life.

Rest Allah (swt) be pouring his blessing on you and for the new change in your life. So this blog is dedicated to you, 
https://www.facebook.com/khan.faisal.988 for making me feel the what real happiness is and i can clearly say that when a person feels the heartbeat of the other individual then it is what we call "HAPPINESS."

Emotions- The Cutter of Language Barrier

Today I've learnt a big lesson, a lesson for life. I don't know how to put today's incident in words but I'll try to do justice to it somehow.

The time was round about 2:30 at noon and I was shooting for my documentary with my cameraman (Rahul), translator (Raksha & Rubin) and then the lead lady of my documentary started talking about her life in Kannada (the language which I knew nothing about) and I had no idea what she was talking but as she went on and the facial expressions of her made a drastic change which went from smiling to a tornado like hit place.

I couldn't even blink my eyes even once (for a moment i was literary into tears) and was continuously gazing at her as she was going on talking about her life. And the best part of it was that she didn't regretted about her life at all but rather she took it positively and did all her work with full honesty and dedication. Here I remembered our late ex President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Azad who said, " Love your job not your company because the company can throw you out anytime".

She's a maid in my college but the lesson she taught me was much more than my teachers are doing right now. The flow of emotions from her face was the turning point which made me realize that language is never a barrier if people read the emotions of the other person and then let everything go above your head but the real message will reach deep inside your heart.

I dedicate this blog to you "LAKSHMI AMAA", whom I always wave a HI with a smile and the smile she hands me back makes my day and it clicks my mind making me think that even though we both don't understand each others language, the bond between both of us is ceaseless because of the emotions that we exchange.

One Culprit but two opinions

A birthday and a death day, both given to a person who is supposed to be innocent by some and a culprit by some. Yakub Abdul Razak Memon (30 July 1962 – 30 July 2015) today at 6:35 early morning was hanged to death in Nagpur central jail, as all his pleas were rejected. Yaqub was one of the 100 culprits who were involved in 1993 Bombay Bomb blasts and the only one who was given death sentence by the TADA court.

But then the question arises that who has being hanged?

Is it the culprit of 1993 blasts or is it the person whom Indian government got hold of just because he surrendered himself?

One side of the story says that he was boarding a plane from Nepal to Dubai and was escaping from India and in the mean time he was caught. And the other one says that if he had listened to his brother (Tiger Memon) of not surrendering and ran off, then today he would have been celebrating his birthday in some luxurious villas of Dubai with his family.

The person who had faith in Indian judiciary system, came all the way back from Dubai to Nepal and surrendered himself. Now both the parts are good in their own way but the only concern is that why does it takes Indian government such long time to give out a decision of a convict.

If he was proven guilty of his crimes then it shouldn't have taken more then 2 decades to hang him.

And in the end the same question still remains that was Yaqub Memon hanged or the Indian Judiciary system?

For the beloved

Sheen -beauty to be felt 

One is my heart, other is my soul
Both are yours as a whole

My whole life is on as side
And your smile on a side

Shake a hand and enrich me
Give me the gift of life from thee

Me being no immortal my love
But my love is mortal for thou

Grievous is the time when you are away

    As your sight gives me joy

I need love from you my beloved

    To heal my wounds of seclusion

SHEEN is your love for my life
Like the flame of a burning candle

My love towards you is zeal
And your smile is my forever my heal

The aroma of your presence is forever
Diffuse yourself with my love

Khan waits for your sight Dihahs
Give me an ambush of your smile and love

For the beloved

Distance- a blow to the heart

Heard you saying, that you are going

Me in class, getting a blow

Was it a dream, as you were fading?

Giving me heartache, a death very slow

Those texts of yours, those smiles of yours

Making my day, joyous all the way

Waiting days and weeks, for the texts of yours

Like soil needs water, to make clay

You make me smile, without any reason

As a bird is flying, free of fear

Making me feel in love, in the whole season

Without any change, all the full year

Dihahs don’t fade away, as you are mine

Be with me, in my life as my own part

We together are happy, as both are fine

Finish the distance as Khan gets a blow to the heart.
