:)
If one day you feel like crying...
call me.
I don't promise you that I will make u laugh,
But i can cry with you.
If one day you want to run away...
Don't be afraid to call me.
I don't promise to ask you to stay,
But I can run with you.
If one day you don't want to listen to anybody,
Call me...
I promise to be very quiet.
But,
If one day you call
and there is no answer...
Come fast to see me,
Perhaps I need you.

પ્રારબ્ધને અહીંયાં ગાંઠે કોણ? - By C.M. Narendra Modi
પ્રારબ્ધને અહીંયાં ગાંઠે કોણ?હું પડકાર ઝીલનારો માણસ છું
હું તેજ ઉછીનું લઉં નહીં
હું જાતે બળતું ફાનસ છું.
ઝળાહળાનો મોહતાજ નથી
મને મારું અજવાળું પૂરતું છે
અંધારાના વમળને કાપે
કમળ તેજતો સ્ફુરતું છે
ધુમ્મસમાં મને રસ નથી
હું ખુલ્લો અને નિખાલસ છું
પ્રારબ્ધને અહીંયાં ગાઠે કોણ?
હું પડકાર ઝીલનારો માણસ છું
કુંડળીને વળગવું ગમે નહીં
ને ગ્રહો કને શિર નમે નહીં
કાયરોની શતરંજ પર જીવ
સોગઠાબાજી રમે નહીં
હું પોતે જ મારો વંશજ છું
હું પોતે મારો વારસ છું
પ્રારબ્ધને અહીંયાં ગાંઠે કોણ?
હું પડકાર ઝીલનારો માણસ છું

Good Poem...
एक जंग हारा हूँ मैं... ये कहना हैं मेरे यारो कानतीजे का अखबारों में, दीवारों पे इश्तेहारों का
जो मिलता हैं मिल कर अफ़सोस जता देता हैं
होंठो के पोरो में दबी कोई बात बता देता हैं
कहते हैं बहुत बुरा हुआ, जो ये मेरे साथ हुआ
खवाब सारे चलते गए, अरमान हर धुँआ हुआ
मेरे कुछ कहने से पहले ही नजरिये बन चुके हैं
मैं हार चुका हूँ सब अपने आप समझ चुके हैं
आँखों में मेरी कुछ उदासी जो झलक आई थी
जाने कितनी ही बातें मौजूद हर शख्स ने बनायीं थी
सुन उनकी बातें मैं कुछ कुछ खुद पर शुबा करने लगा
क्या सच में हार चुका हूँ इस सवाल से डरने लगा
आईने में पोशीदा अक्स दिखा तो कुछ तस्सली हुई
की उसकी नजरो में अब तक मेरी चमक थी बची हुई
उससे बातो के चंद सिलसिले फिर जो चले
छंट गई धुंध तमाम, ख्वाब सारे खोये मिले
उसने कहा की क्या हुआ एक हार जो मिली
सांसे अब भी चल रही, नहीं थमी ये जिंदगी
की मौका मिला हैं तुझे जो, कमर तू फिर से
कसकितना ही कहे ये जमाना, होना न तू टस से मस
सफ़र अभी ख़त्म नहीं, ख़त्म काम नहीं
विराम तो था.. मगर ये पूर्ण विराम नहीं
हारा नहीं तू यार मेरे, जब तक तू रहा हैं
लड़जीतने कि हैं कूबत तुझमे, अपना तू विश्वास कर
उठ... , बढ़... कि... सफ़र ये पूरा कर
गिरे भी तू अगर, तो फिर उठ... फिर आगे बढ़

Friends!! Time has stopped for me today...
I have received my CA Final result. I passed in First Group of Papers but Second Group was a horror.. I just dont think, but i know that i deserved more than this... And from last few hours since i got my result, i m constantly weeping from my heart... not bcoz i failed but i failed when i gave my 100%...
Nyways, I've lost the battle but not d fight. I'll come back and that's for sure. So for next 3 months, its me, my God and the Institute.. And till then, no orkut, no chat and no calls... For me, it's a question of proving my worth to my own self..

Naadbrahm--778
In 1990, the climax of Swamishri's four month stay in UK were the celebrations of the Diwali and Annakut Festival in London.After the festivities, Swamishri sat down for his lunch in the kitchen. The youths had decorated the kitchen with lighted candles and lamps ('divas'). As Swamishri was eating, one of the youths sang a prayer in Gujarati and said, "Swamishri we have lit this room with candles and lamps. Now please help us to illuminate our hearts with your light."Swamishri was pleased with the youth's prayer and said, "The flame of knowledge (gnan) is already lit within your heart. Now you have to ensure it doesn't blow out.""But how do we know whether the flame is still glowing?" asked one of the youths.Swamishri stopped eating and explained, "The flame of knowledge is said to be glowing if you can remain steady in Satsang through times of tears and laughter, honour and insult. If we keep this flame aglow at all times we will experience the bliss of God."Swamishri is an illuminated personality because the flame of knowledge is constantly glowing within his heart. He is in constant communion with God.

God is always with us..
Here is one inspiring incident from the Mahabharata... One which i meditate every time before my Exams or any important work... In the battle of Kurukshetra, Bhishma declared that on the eve of next day, either he or Arjuna wud survive… This caused a terrible chaos in the Pandavas as everyone knew that Bhishma was firm of his words and also he was having boon of "Iccha Mrityu".. On the other side Kauravas were all in rejoice very much assured of their victory as Arjuna was one who can beat them all singlehandedly…
That night was full of tension and worries for Pandava Camp... Even Lord Krishna was dispirited upon hearing this.. He thought He must be with His beloved Parth during such serious time and went to his hut to give some strength to Arjuna.. But amid His astonishment He found Arjuna sleeping very calmly… Surprised, He woke him up and asked, "Parth, don't you know about Bhishma's oath??" "Yes, I know that." Arjuna replied calmly. "Still you are able to sleep without any thoughts in your mind?" On that the Arjuna replied, " Lord, I know You are with me always. When i have surrendered to You, it is Your responsibility to save me tomorrow why should I be worried?? And on hearing that, even Lord Krishna was proud for His dearest "sakha".
This incident shows us the way of remaining calm in tense situations... Surrender totally to the divine and rest assure whatever He does will be the best for u... Just as we see it in HDH Pramukh Swami Maharaj...
Just as Akhsarbrahm Gunatitanand Swami puts it..."ભગવાન તો હમેશા પોતાના ભક્તની રક્ષા માં જ છે, તે કેની પેઠે જે,
જેમ પાપણ આંખની રક્ષામાં છે,
માતા પોતાના પુત્રની રક્ષામાં છે,
અને રાજા પ્રજાની રક્ષામાં છે,
તેમ ભગવાન આપણી રક્ષામાં જ છે.."
Jai Swaminarayan...

અમારે ડર નથી કોઇ નો, અમે જન્મ્યા છીએ મરવા..... અમે
અમે આ યજ્ઞ આરંભ્યો, બલિદાનો અમે દઈશુ;
અમારા અક્ષ્રર પુરુષોત્તમ, ગુણાતીત જ્ઞાન ને ગાઈશુ..... અમે
અમે સૌ શ્રીજી તણા પુત્રો, અક્ષરે વાસ અમારો છે;
સ્વધર્મી ભસ્મ ચોળી તો, અમારે ક્ષોભ શાનો છે..... અમે

You were so right!!
A recent poem by me.. This poem is addressed to God.. Generally as a human being we try very hard to find our own ways outta life... But a point always comes in everyone's life when we realise that the way He showed us was the best...YOU WERE SO RIGHT!!
I was in the shallow lane,
Trying to get out of the frame;
You taught me the game..
And then, I was never same!
You made me walk through the night,
Oh! You were so right!!
Among shadows of thoughts,
And in the darkness galore;
You showed me the light,
Oh! You were so right!!
You showed me the way,
And made me walk the lane;
Yes it was so bright!
Oh! You were so right!!
For me, you are the mean,
And you are my end;
Only you are my might,
Oh! You were so right!!
I know you're always there,
In my life everywhere;
I know this is your plight,
Just as a mother to child!
Oh! You are so right!!!

Change...... (Got it somewhere on internet)
Here i am sitting in my office @ night…
Thinking hard about life
How it changed from a maverick collage life to strict professional life…...
How tiny pocket money changed to huge monthly paychecks
but then why it gives lesss happiness….
How a few local denim jeans changed to new branded wardrobe
but then why there are less people to use them
How a single plate of samosa changed to a full Pizza or burger
But then why there is less hunger…..
Here i am sitting in my office @ night…
Thinking hard about life
How it changed…..
How a bike always in reserve changed to bike always on
but then why there are less places to go on……
How a small coffee shop changed to cafe coffee day
but then why its feels like shop is far away…..
How a limited prepaid card changed to postpaid package
but then why there are less calls & more messages……
Here i am sitting in my office @ night…
Thinking hard about life
How it changed…...
How a general class journey changed to Flight journey
But then why there are less vacations for enjoyment….
How a old assembled desktop changed to new branded laptop
but then why there is less time to put it on……….
How a small bunch of friends changed to office mate
But then why we always feel lonely n miss those college frnz.….
Here i am sitting in my office @ night…
Thinking hard about life
How it changed….. How it changed……..

FIRST READ THIS.....
LORD MACAIJLAY’S ADDRESS TO THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT 2 FEBRUARY, 1835
I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is beggar, who is a thief such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that Is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native culture end they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation’
