The rising sun will ultimately slowly set...

Being on the road all of my life, the best education I had is from life. This life showed me various aspects of it and I tried to learn as much as possible. One of the things I always admire is music, especially Qawwali. It is one form of music, usually played live of independent artist, talking about life. My childhood is marked by listening to numerous qawwalies and trying to understand its meaning and learn out of it. One of such qawwali is ‘Chadhta Suraj Dhalta hai, dhal jayega’ (literal meaning, rising sun will slowly set and disappear in the end).

For those who haven’t heard about it, here is English translation of it. I tried to live as much as possible according to the things have said.

Chadhta Suraj dhalta hai dhal jayega (Rising sun will slowly set and disappear in the end)

In this world, there are many once famous people who disappeared from the world without ever noticed by anyone. This world, this life has made disappear many like them. The one who is proud of his/her young age will regret tomorrow. Those proud young people, listen carefully, the rising sun will slowly set down.

You are a traveler in this world, and this world is illusion. Your life is very short and money, ego, house, jewelry, you will take nothing along with you. You know that you came empty handed in this world and you will go empty handed. So don’t be ignorant, and don’t have ego about that. You are so lost in this materialism of the world that you forgot yourself and God and drifting yourself in this world. You have seen all the time that the one who lose something is the one who gain something. The one who tried to understand the real meaning of life always cries over fading Sun and wasted opportunities. You know that life is ultimately going to end so why you are so attached to it? Everyone is worried about their problems but no one can understand true meaning of life. If you want to know about it then seize today’s opportunity. If you keep sleeping then the opportunity will vanish.

Death has taught lessons to even the great ones. Alexander the great came with lot of ambition, but in the end, he left alone. Those who are very proud of their achievements and wealth at the end find nothing is left behind no one lights a candle for them. Whether you are rich or poor, your ultimate destination is the grave.

Remember, what you do to other, other will do to you. As you sow you reap, if you walk arrogantly one day you will fall down.

Everyone is going to die and you are not going to be exception. As soon as you die all relations you have with your father, mother, sister, wife, kids will end and you will have more surprise. As soon as you are dead they will all fight over your wealth, the only thing they will give is place for your grave.

Those whom you believe are truly yours, you never know what they can do. One day they will throw flowers in your marriage procession and the same people for their greed kill you and throw soil on your grave. All your achievements will be forgotten and your near and dear ones will ultimately forget you.

That is why my advice to you is Think hard don’t waste your life, seize opportunities and go with the flow. Remember, you came in this world with your fist closed but while going you will go with hands spread. You will not gain anything by running after materialist thing.

Don’t be so proud young man. Rising Sun will ultimately set down.

Life is a bitch so you better be an asshole

I always say that life is beautiful but as much as mind. There is a reason. Reason is life itself is not beautiful. It is a bitch and you need to be an asshole to overcome it, to get overcome it, to rule it. If you are one of those womanizer who like to go to bar and get a girl home for a night you can connect it.

If you meet a girl in a bar, who is a bitch, then try as much as hard, be as much nice as you want, you will not get that girl. You need to be an asshole to get that girl. There is a saying that all the girls runs behind asshole. The same goes with life. If you are a nice guy in your life, especially with your life, it will never treat you well. You need to be an asshole to rule your life before your life rules over you.

Once upon a time I gave all my attention to my life, but nothing happened in turn. And it started changing when I started giving a fuck about life. And it’s true. It’s a law of nature. Law of the universe. Even in Mahabharata is it written, “Bin mange moti mile, mange mile na bhick” (you will get pearls without asking and you will not get a charity if you ask). Don’t ask anything to life. Be a asshole, real one, be harsh to your life, what it coming to your way if you think it is not the one you want, be angry, just to make sure that your life behaves the way you want.

I have been an asshole to all of my life. I changed a bit without knowing it and it started becoming bitch. It’s time again to be an asshole.

Let the game begin again!
