The Circle of Life -The Lion King

From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun

There's more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

Through faith and love

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the Circle

The Circle of Life

It's the Circle of Life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

Through faith and love

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the Circle

The Circle of Life

Jaayenge kahan soojhta nahin

chal pade magar..raastaa nahin

It's the way you look at life

I have just updated my Facebook status to 'What we see is what we are'. Not that I want people to comment or 'like' or 'unlike'..but because I remember it asking (in the old version 'what's on your mind'). And this line, honestly has been on my mind ever since I met this wonderful lady who told me that our life is nothing but a collection of reaction of our paradigms.

Now, what's a paradaigm? It is the way we look at the world based on the conditioning, beliefs created in us. To me, this was a life-redefining moment. This basically meant:

1. Everybody is right from their perspective. (This will make me think twice before I start or stretch an argument)

2. What we see is what we are. (This defines our life..perspective..thoughts)

3. When we open our mouth to describe the world, we are not describing the world, we describe ourselves. (Something to ponder about before bad mouthing anyone/any situation)

4. Language has a tremendous impact on creating paradigms. (specially true with children..parents are the first source of paradigms that deifne their lives. So, the way talk, behave infront of them..matters.)

The final effort...
It has taken over two very ..very long years since any scribbling here. Unfortunately, I did not even miss it after a point. Are you thinking what did it take for me to be back? Well...a great deal of thought, a lot of motivation from friends and colleagues, a cautious dose of courage and an iota of time from a lifetime.
Yes, I did say 'courage' for I am not sure whether I can make this final effort to revive this habit successful and continued.

A lot has happened in these two years; not just in my life but around the world. OBL is reportedly dead, Libya and rest of the middle east is torn apart, Japan's smaller than it used to be, people's movement tasted a short-lasting success in India, the politics in West Bengal, India created history with Didi in power....aaaah!
