A Hindi-English Combo Sher - Bihkre Phool





Kuch murjhe bikhre phoolon mein ek kali dhoondhta hun
Life ke middle-age me main ek wife dhoondhta hun


FULLY ENGLISH TRANSLATION :
Among a little wilted, scattered flowers, I search for a bloom with life
In the middle-age of life, I seek as groom a wife 



In case you don't know what 'Sher' form of poetry is, here is a quick primer:

Natural Smells




I like things the way nature meant them to be - to smell the way they should. It all serves a purpose. 

Mankind has interfered too much with the natural way. When my toilet has to smell like a rose garden or a lavender meadow in the mountains or a pine forest, it messes with our minds.

Now when we go to a rose garden or a lavender meadow in the mountains or a pine forest, I and our kids think - "Hey! This smells like our toilet!!"

Point Of No Reason


The point in a discussion or debate when you realize reason and logic in addressing the topic is now futile. The exchange has drifted off to other issues or going around in circles, emotions have taken over and the atmosphere gets worse the longer you continue.
Time to shutdown or call for a break.

Wajah aur Khuda - The Reason and The Creator

Prashn:
Aap har baat mein Khuda ko dhoondte ho,
Is ki wajah kya hai?

Uttar: Nahin, main har baat ki wajah dhoonta hoon to mujhe Khuda milte hain.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Question: You seek The Creator in in every issue, what is the reason for this?
Answer: No, I seek the reason behind every issue and I find The Creator.
