I am only a momentary poet

 

Kal nai komple footengi, kal naye phool muskurayenge,
Aur nai ghaas ke naye fars par naye paav ithlayenge,

Wo mere beech nahi aaye, wo mere beech nahi aaye,
Mai unke beech me kyu aau,
Mai unki subho aur shamo ka ek lamha kyu pau ,

Mai pal do pal ka sayar hu,
Pal do pal mere khani hai,
Pal do pal mere hasti hai,
Pal do pal mere jawani hai ……………..

/Badnaam Shayar/

I am only a momentary poet. 

These few moments define who I am, they tell my whole story. 

That just like there was a poet before me, there will be many more after me, better than me

Men without women - H Murakami.

A collection of short stories from my favorite author. Loved the various unique scenarios. Especially the story 'Men Without Women'.

Some beautiful lines - 

I wish there was a machine there was a machine that could accurately measure sadness , and display it in numbers that you could record. -- pg 219.

In the end,she died. The phone call in the middle of the night made that clear. ..When she died I lost my fourteen - year old self.Like a baseball player's number that is permanently retired, the fourteen -year-old inside me left for good. .. was not locked away in a thick safe,intricately locked, buried on the bottom of the sea. - pg 219. 

"Its quite easy to become Men without Women. You love a woman deeply,and then she goes off somewhere

Prayer of St. Teresa of Calcutta.

 

I asked God to take away my pride, and God said no. He said that pride is not taken away - it is denied. 

I asked God to heal my bedridden daughter. God told me no. Her soul is safe, but her body will still die. 

I asked God to give me patience, and God said no. He said that patience comes as a result of trials - it is not given, but deserved. 

I asked God to give me happiness, and God said no. He said that he gives a blessing, and whether I am happy or not is up to me. 

I asked God to protect me from the pain, and God said no. He said that suffering distracts a person from worldly worries and leads to Him. 

I asked God for my spirit to grow, and God said no. He said that the spirit must grow on its own. 

I asked God to teach me to love all people as He loves me. Finally, the Lord said, you understood that you had to ask.  

I asked for patience, and God sent me trials to harden me.  I asked for wisdom, and God sent me problems to think about.

I asked for courage - and God sent me dangers.  I asked for love - and God sent the unfortunate who needed my help.  

I asked for blessings - and God gave me opportunities. 

I didn't get anything I wanted -  I got everything I needed!  God heard my prayers.
