When HE spoke...

I met the LORD the other day, I didn’t know what to say,
HE said, “Peace be with you.” [John 20:21]

I said, “LORD I pray every time, but YOU never answer.”
HE said, “You of little faith why did you doubt?” [Matthew 14:30]

I said, “LORD there are so many things I’ve to do in life, I’m so burdened.”
HE said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” [Matthew 11:28]

I said, “LORD I try hard to achieve things and sometimes even skip my meals, but I never succeed.”
HE said, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” [Matthew 6:33]

I said, “LORD take me with YOU, there are so many troubles in this world.”
HE said, “In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.” [John 16:33]

I said, “LORD I’m a sinner, I do not deserve YOU.”
HE said, “For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” [Matthew 9:12]

I said, “LORD, I feel better and much light now.”
I didn’t see HIM around now, but I knew- By HIS stripes we are healed. [Isaiah 53:5]

But, love hurts!

I don’t know what I’m doing,
But, is it me or is it you?

Want to see you smile forever,
But, I make you cry every time.

Sometimes I feel I don’t deserve you,
But, maybe I’m not strong.

Inside me I’ve lost you when I got you.
But, I wish I could hold you forever,

Time and again tears run your eyes,
But, I can never see you cry.

The borders we lie within feel safe,
But, these borders make us bleed again.

All the sorrow, all the pain,
But, I’m sorry for it once again.

Don’t want to be the one, who hurts you,
But, it’s me; probably that’s why they say love hurts!

Sunshine!

6 th January, 2011

My eyes barely open,
The window pane shines bright.

I think to myself,
It was not the same last night.

Just then I'm reminded its morning,
As I hear the birds flock together and sing.

Glad the night is over,
And I see the sunshine brighter than ever.

Thank you Lord, I say in my heart,
On the other hand I heard my mom say, Calvin please have bath.

Smiling to the light I'm off my bed,
My hair is all messed up and wierd looks my head.

Done with my morning chorus and to work I've moved,
Music playing in my ears and the sun making me feel loved.

The shunhine from the bright morning made me happy today,
Thank you GOD for the sunshine and make it shine the same way...everyday!

2010, Summarized!

Yes, another year down and this time it’s 2010. My resolution for this year was to be punctual. But, this post has appeared so late, I’m sure you must have noticed where the resolutions are headingJ.

Thou 2010 didn’t take off well, but it seemed to be a fabulous year. The year gone by has lived up to give me some of the most memorable moments. To start off, this year gave me an amazing breakthrough in the field of eLearning. I started to work in what I strongly believe is my passion, Instructional Designing. I was successful in getting hired at GOLS, one of the top-notch eLearning companies in India fuelling eLearning in India. I met some amazing talented people at GOLS. Guys, you all are awesome and continue each day to inspire me. Keep up the great work. Post GOLS, GOD was gracious and merciful to grant me a job at TATA Interactive Systems, which appears in one of my ‘Need to Work’ list. It been over a month out here and things are going pretty good. Made some good colleagues, a nice Christmas decorated bay, regular cups of lemon tea, what else could I ask for? PRAISE THE LORD!

On the academic front too this year was good. Thou it was much slow as compared to plans, but one the whole not a disappointing one. PGDID is almost done and plans are to drift towards some post graduation degree. Details are yet to be uncovered.

To top all the above, it was on the personal front I had most gains. This year made me feel really special when it came to my personal life. To start off, some of the proactive school members of my batch made all the efforts to have a school reunion and it was truly a delight to see all the guys you ate vada pav with and all the girls you couldn’t speak to back then. It was amazing party and I remember how I was telling myself that the dance for the day is over, but ended up dancing another good hour. Thanks Vinay and Carlton. Also, I made a wonderful friend who has successfully managed to hop through and come into the green pastures of Calvin’s Best Friend courtyard. She is none other than, Meghna Vashi. (No it’s not an award ceremony, just felt like writing it this way!) A great person at heart, not to forget her sense of humor and good looks which make say- KADAK! Meghna is so going to kill me for this cheap lingo xD~. And folks, please keep the controversies and conclusions aside. On the other hand my best-best friend Vinay Raghav has moved out of ghar-sansar colony and also Nerissa Dmello is in Canada. I know it’s not a happy moment to write about, but not to forget my friends moving into bigger things. If I keep myself off the selfish track, I’m so happy for my friends, but still Vinu, bird watching will never be the same in you absence. Ghar Aaja pardesi tera colony bulai re…How cheap! Hahaha.
As for you Ness, being cool is going to be tuff.
On the spiritual front GOD granted me the grace to visit Potta. It is one the most beautiful places I have ever been to not to forget to mention the spiritual experience out there was just amazing. It was 4 day retreat with regular bible sessions and preaching. Confessions, counseling, and a fabulous Inner Healing session. Also, I made some good friends at Potta- Henson, Jerry, Joel and Gary. Along with these guys praying was just brilliant. Loved the way we sang clapping our hands- One Way Jesus. I know I still stand as a sinner, but GOD has granted me the grace to visit such a place and experience HIS mighty works. PRAISE THE LORD!

Apart from this nothing excitement has happened in the year 2010. But, if it has and I haven’t included apologies to the people who made it happen, you folks know my memory. Adios to you 2010 and thanks for making me a year old and giving me great memories to smile and laugh about. And you Mr. 2011 give me some more memories and people to cherish and haan, help me get a bike! For those who wish to contribute to the Bike Raising Fund, call me. First ten donors get a free Taksun Wrist watch!

For Today!

When I see you around,
I turn weak and my head spins round.

When you look at me with that smile,
Just to see it again, I would run a thousand mile.

And when you talk,
Man, I need a lip-lock.

And there are times when you get angry,
All I say in my head- I’m a pest, kiss me.

And when you turn shuttle and calm,
I wanna hold you tight never to cause any harm.

And every time we laugh together,
Time runs faster then ever.

Inside me I know, you will fly away some day,
I think again, wish I could make you stay.

The charm gone away, the love lost tomorrow,
But honey, there’s still sunshine, so lets smile for today.

Innocence!

I look into those eyes,
The eyes filled with a feeling I thirst for.

Running away from myself,
To turn myself into a better me.

I wait for a second,
I turn around and look at the eyes of power.

Cover with dust of bread and food,
He looks at me with a hope.

I got all I want,
I can buy me pleasure and comfort.

But, what he has I lack,
No money can buy me that, no riches can obtain it.

I hunger for what he owns,
I wish I could get it.

A humble face that looks at me,
Hope that looks never dying.

I don’t know how to compliment it.
Coz, in me breathes a world of guilt.

I take a step back to reassess my life,
I realise that I had it all, all of it I had.

Now just one glimpse of it makes me happy,
I hope it remains forever.

Yet again I look into the eyes,
To realise and smile looking at the eyes of innocence.

Classified Local Content!

Hi guys once again. Here’s another topic I’m going to write about and its once again going to relate to trains. Can’t help it folks, a pure source of inspiration and perspiration.

This time, after a good 4 weeks weak analysis, Dr. Train-Master-GoGo and I have finally finished my thesis on types of travellers. Dr. Train_Master-GoGo says, “Yes, they can be classified- broadly thou”. The limitation for this classification is that its sex dominated. Don’t get all naughty and spiced up you blonde-brains, I was talking about the gender.s

Ok, so after this trash talking, here’s the real deal- The travelling classification.

• Touch me not: This kind of species is found in every first class compartment. Whether its your bag, you belt, your earphones, your hand or even your strand of hair, this species is quick to react. They hate to be touched and react to any kind of contact with the outside world- physically. So, for now no zaara zaara touch me also.
  
  
  
  Remedy for this species: Government we have ladies-gents then why touch-me-not coaches. Huh why?
  Theme song for this species- Choona naah choona…paari hoo mai.




• No balls; all eyeballs: These species are also in plenty. Whether you touch them or don’t they may stare at you with utmost aggression like kuch dino pehlay tuney uski izzat looth lit thi. They will stare at you when you are around, behind your back and also if you are ignoring them. If you look at them in the eye, half way you will realise you are increasing their aggression. But, tension not, they got balls only in the eyes.
  
  
  Remedy for this species: Ignore them, else you got you fist, start using it. They won’t hit back, coz for that you need balls.
  Theme song: Akiyon sey goli marey.




• Door: Ek prem kahani: These species are highly attracted to the door. They will push a hundred and trample a hundred more just to reach the door and secure their position. Chal andhar chal…they may utter but it’s not for them. Here’s a piece of advise, practise what you preach brother.
  
  
  Remedy for these species: Take their place. Try this only if you have a gang of four to take him down. They species are highly radioactive to fight.
  Theme song: Darwaza band kar doooh….(shaking mullets in the back ground)




• Raja Hindustani: Bright t-shirts, Rajnigandha- unchey loag unchi pasand, flashy embroidery jeans. Some of the evident features of these species. Can also be found with sunglasses in the evening in some extreme cases. Highly advised to stay away from the door, especially the ladies. They jokers tend to do hand symbols if they suppose to be in the opposite train. They try to hit pillars and signal post that pass by, but chicken out at the last moment. In some cases where the virus takes its toll, these species are found on roof tops of trains despite repeated advises not to go there. Considered to be the most psycho of all the species, they also sport spitting a bucket full of Rajnigandha every five minutes. Beware!
  
  
  Remedy for these species: Wanted dead….immediately.
  Theme song: Tum hogay kamyab…ek din…ek din…




• Space Hawra: Very similar to the Door- Ek Prem kahani species, these species also do the same activities, except for the fact that they are fighting a different battle- the battle for seat. Yes, you heard it right, they want to sit. To achieve what they want they may ignore a female standing with a kid and show they are enjoying their returns of investment in the train pass. They are very possessive of their seat. In most cases these species are never happy even after acquiring the seat. They will crib and cry about the lack of space to sit. In some worst cases they make hand symbols to the man sitting at their favourite seat- the window seat to move further. Yes to move further.
  
  
  Remedy: Never give them to sit. Never!
  Theme Song: I wanna to sit right now naaa naaa…I wanna sit right now naaa naaa…





• Call Centre: These species are very accustomed and they lives revolve closely around technology and communication. These always discuss stock market. Some young cases have also been witnesses. These victims talk about how much they love the other person on the phone. Post which they will text the same person. Also, sometimes may say- You hang up…no you hang you..no you.. in an endless loop. These species would not exist if there was no technology. I-Robot is coming true.
  
  
  Remedy: Buy earphones and increase the volume on your ipods/music players.
  Theme Song: Dikhtaa dikhtana dikhtana…dikh…dhik tana dikhtana dikha tana…Item tum khushiyon ka khazana..dhikh tana dhikh tana…..




• Jiyo aur jiney do: The friendliest species found in the train. These species put the rest of the species to shame. They make sure others are comfortable and end up enjoying the comfort themselves. They do not enter into unwanted arguments or comment passing. They love their world and provide comfort to all. Strong believer of live and let live. In most cases species have displayed strong points of humanity existence. Bravo!
  
  
  Remedy: Keep them safe They are the best.
  Theme Song: Species tujhe salaam…species tujhe salam.

That's all folks. Hope you liked it ;)~
