WISH ALL MY READERS, FRIENDS AND WELL- WISHERS A HAPPY PROSPEROUS AND SAFE NEW YEAR 2022.
May this year be a Great and an Abundant one for all of us. Jaggy and Maggie are taking a break and will be back soon. All through the month of December I was thinking what to write and even before I could start writing, the month was over. After a long thought, the decision was to write a piece on ‘Motivation’ as thus far, I have been writing more on Saving Lives rather than Living life. In this blog, I want to pen a few lines which could motivate people during these tough times.
Aate hain log,
Jaate hain log,
Paani ke jaise rele,
Jaane ke baad,
Aathe hain yaad,
Guzre hue ho mele,
Yaadein Mita Rahi hai,
Yaadein Bana Rahi hai,
Gaadi Bula Rahi hai,
Seeti Baja Rahi Hai,
Chalna hi zindagi hai,
Chalthi hi jaa rahi hai.
These lines in Hindi are from a famous song of the 70s from a movie called ‘Dost’, released in the year 1974. This number was a chart buster for a long time and even today, listening to it just elevates tempo. The song in general teaches ‘Life through the journey of a Train’. The lines above are one among the several verses of the song.
It says that
Aate hain log, people will come.
Jaate hain log, people will go,
Paani ke jaise rele, like waves of water,
Jaane ke baad, after they go,
Aathe hain yaad, we remember,
Guzrey hue who mele, a lifetime of memories,
Yaadein mitta rahi hai, memories are erased,
Yaadein bana rahi hai, memories recreated.
The very lines say that there are people who have come and gone in our lives. A few have been with us for long and few for a short time. Many are still with us in this world, and some have left us for a better world. We as humans sometimes never bother to be in touch with people and that we are busy with our own lives. One fine day, the news comes that they are not going to be there with us forever and that is the time all the memories come flooding to our minds. We remember them, the time spent, the funny moments, the tears that rolled and just about everything. Here I would like to tell all my readers take time to visit people. They could be your friends, relatives and even colleagues and associates at work. Pandemic time visiting and meeting people may be tough. Can we not at least call them over the magical devices that we have, rather than posting on the social media. Your visit, or even a call of just how you are can make a lot of difference to people. Let us not remember them after they have moved on forever.
The lines of the song meant the same. Spread love when people are there with us who create a Happy World. Let us erase the bad memories and create wonderful new ones.
Gaadi bula rahi hai, the train is calling, (beckoning)
Seeti baja rahi hai, it is blowing the horn,
Chalna hi zindagi hai, to keep moving, is life,
Chalthi hi jaa rahi hai, it just keeps on moving.
Just like a train, life keeps on moving and we too need to move on. From one success to another, from one thought to another, from unhappiness to happiness and from darkness to light. Let us keep moving. The character ‘Malcolm in the movie Jurassic Park’ says, ‘Life finds a way!’. We too can find a way in our life. Searching for it, is our job.
Towards the end of December, I had lost my Uncle who was an inspiration and motivation to me. He was a Sportsman and a Gentleman to the core and treated Life in the same way. I had visited him a couple of months back and he told me to keep reading books and writing whatever I can, as he felt that if I can make a difference even to one life, that would just be great. Wherever he may be, his spirit will continue to inspire me.
So let us make a difference to all, whom we come across. Till then Stay Safe, Get Vaccinated and as Vaccination in India is on for the teens, get them Vaccinated too.

The song sung by our own childhood friend Subbu..says it all that we are in it together for each other
Thanks Nitin. This article had been in the planning for quite sometime now. The time had not come for it till now. Only when my Uncle moved on I realised that it is time for me to pen it.
Superb ji. Nicely written
Thank you Varun Ji
Yes, there is nothing like visiting a lonely relative or friend. If not possible, make it a point to call and speak.
Messaging and emailing should be the last resort to connect with anyone.
Absolutely right Suresh Nair sir.

Thank you so much Abirami. Happy New Year to you and your family too. You have always been a great support.
EGALterian life…brand new thought, very spontaneously came to your mind, came to me at the right time.through your blog.Let me appreciate your article through action..Now iam going to call 5 of my imp forgotten contacts….Truly your article is action inspiring….thank you…
Thank you so much sir
We always think that we need to feel the need to meet a friend or a relative and we wait for the feeling to come…but without waiting for the moment to get the feel, we can actually act because action and feeling go together. Just like when we smile the other person becomes automatically happy. Instead of putting a normal sullen face we should make a conscious effort on smiling. So we see when we act like we put a smile it makes us really happy and the other person becomes happy. Action and feeling go together, so my earnest want is don’t keep thinking about calling someone near and dear do the act and the feeling will follow.
What you said is 100% right Mr. Mahesh. Thank you so much. Appreciate it
Super
