Purpose of life

Everyday I give myself 30 minutes to do things i love doing. One amongst those is reading. These days I have been reading Shantaram(yet again- one chapter daily! yes that is the only luxury which WIMWI allows me!). Perhaps, I like the book because the rebel inside me can relate very well to all that is being said. Eventhough I loathe criminals in general, I cannot help but respect a few of them, especially those like Gregory Roberts for their ingenuity and brilliance. Also often we see that when such people get to exhibit their humane face its much more humane than any of us. I know this sounds paradoxical, but that's how things are!
Every time I have wanted an answer the book has provided it. These days I have been trying to figure out what is right and what is not.
The following excrept from the book quelled all my doubts!:
"The truth is that there are no good men or bad men. It is the deeds that have goodness or badness in them. There are good deeds and bad deeds. Men are just men- it is what they do or what they refuse to do that links them to good or evil. The truth is that an instant of real love, in the heart of anyone- the noblest man alive or the most wicked one- has the whole purpose and process and meaning of life within the lotus-folds of its passion. The truth is that we are all, everyone of us, every atom, every galaxy, and every particle of the matter in the universe, moving toward God."

Adios Azad

When I look back I'd say,
Not Every life,
Not Every Day,
Such moments come our way!
Thank you Azad for being a wonderful family.
Through ups and downs
Through smiles and frowns
I've loved all the moments I've spent here.

Introspection

A friend of mine recently wrote about the regrets she had from life. It forced me to think whether there was something that I really regretted in life. Couple of things did come to my mind.
I really regret being impulsive at times. I really can't relate to my impulsive bahviour myself. Where does that rush of blood come from?

I really apologize to all those people whom I've hurt knowingly or unknowingly because of my rash and impulsive behaviour.

I also regret the fact that I've not been able to spend enought time with my loved ones. I really hope I can make it upto them!

Life: An Enigma

Sometimes, I sit and wonder.
I sit and wonder why some of us are luckier than the others.
More precisely, why is life unfair?
If only we had answers!
