समंदर में जा कर, इतरा कर, बल खाकर,  

बस बैठ गयी एक टकटकी लगा कर,

कुछ देर के लिए ही सही, 

पर निहारा तो हमने भी था उसे हसरत भरी निगाह से 

खामोश प्यार इस कदर परवान चड़ा   

कि आज समंदर भी मीठा हो गया, बेजुबान आशिकी को डूबा कर 

You really cant believe but the above lines are written by me specially for this dog, whom i clicked today at vashi mini shore. She was an amazing dog, who just came from somewhere, entered the sea and gave me great clicks.

TBA - 3 steps to achieve your goals

local guys playing football at beach in north goa

I am planning to join gym since last five years, still i am unable to join it. Each time i make it as my goal, something or the other stops me in achieving it. Last time, i even bought shoes, shorts and t shirts specially to join the gym. Still somehow i was not able to join the gym.  

I am sure, this thing happens with so many people, like me. when we really want to achieve some goal, still somehow something stops us to work towards it. I tried thinking about the reasons and how can i overcome this problem of mine. I have come up with a very simple three steps plan. And i would like to share it with you all, so that you can also create your goals to achieve. 

Think

A lot of time, just defining the goal is not enough. Think of the time when you will achieve the goal. How will your life be different at that time. Will achieving the goal helps you in having a better life. Many times, imagining the final achievement, helps one to kickstart and work towards the goal.Once you think about the final result, it will also help you in planning the steps to achieve it in a systematic manner. 

Let's assume that for you also joining the gym is a problem area, then think of the physical benefits of gymming, not only you will be able to achieve a great physique, you will also be able to meet and friends with different sorts of people. 

Believe

Believe in yourself, believe in the goal defined by you and believe that you can really achieve it. You will be able to differentiate between true goal and a goal defined just for the sake of defining, by gauging your belief in it. If you are not convince, and don't believe in the goal then there are high chances of you not pursuing it and achieving it.  I ensure you that you can achieve any goal, i repeat any goal defined by you, if you truly believe in so.

Act

Believing and thinking can be done while sitting on the couch or even lying in the bed. But only once you move and start acting you will be able to break the inertia. Sometimes, you just have to shut your brain and start acting on your goal. Always remember, "just do it" the powerful tagline of nike. Lot of times, you will see that its just being lazy, which prevents you to achieve the desired goals and once you start acting, automatically you will be motivated  enough to pursue it further.

just remember TBA... think believe and act.. and venture out to achieve your goals.

There is a place called minishore near vashi sector 10, which has a huge pond. I went to a walk there  around 8.30 in the night, and saw these fishermen, trying to catch fish. I was not carrying my camera, but clicked this pic from my mobile phone.

this picture has life of its own, a life's viewpoint of its own, same as this blog.

एक हवा का झोंका कुछ यूँ छु के निकला ,
एक धुप की किरण कुछ यूँ सिरहाने बैठी ,
एक कोयल ने कुछ यूँ मधुर गीत सुनाया ,
भूल गया कि मुझे वो ठूंठ कहते हैं ।

एक शादी में मुझ पर यूँ रौशनी करी ,
किसी ने तस्वीरें ऐसी खींची कि पुरस्कृत करी ,
कुछ लोगो ने यूँ शोख रंगों के कपड़ों से सजाया ,
भूल गया कि मुझे वो ठूंठ कहते हैं ।

न जाने कैसे एक देवता की झलक मुझमे दिख गयी ,
जहाँ धूप में अकेले तपता था अब मुझे पूजने लम्बी कतारे लग गयी ,
जिन लोगो ने ही मुझे मृत घोषित किया ,
उन्होंने ही मेरे होने का एहसास कुछ ऐसा मुझमे जगाया,
भूल गया कि मुझे वो ठूंठ कहते हैं ।
