Journey to the end... Destinations are few...

May there be no ego... May there be no fight!
May there be Sun... and always light!

May there be hungry brains than hungry stomach,
May there be honest feelings than hypocrite quack!!

May there be smile and tears only for joy,
May there be no sin and everyone who plays win!

May we all turn babies and the faces never tarnish,
May we LIVE the journey for the destination sweet.

It is just one of my experiences that I wanted to share.

Today, I wanted to have coffee... so I stopped by this 'street cafe' stall and asked him for a coffee, the shop owner didn't have change of 100 bugs, so I thought let’s try the cheese grilled sandwich and that way the change he will have to return will be manageable for him.

So I ordered for a 45 bugs cheese grilled sandwich, it was prepared with three slices of bread stuffed with fresh vegetables and cheese and some sauces! Three slices of bread with all the stuffed thing was grilled and cut into 4 pieces and served with some ketchup... they looked HUGE... and delicious. As I started consuming it in, after like 3 minutes... and managing to finish two pieces... I was so...totally totally stuffed!!!

But, then I realized my social responsibility of not wasting food... and took 5 more minutes to finish the third piece! God… that was one hell of a task….. and after that… I hit the dead end!

Somehow, my conscience didn't allow me to throw the 4th piece into that big dustbin which was already filled with food wasted by several people, even if I would have tried to throw it there... I guess five more things from the dustbin would have found places outside the dustbin (Ever heard about Law of Cohesion???) but I couldn’t…. I remembered that innocent face.

I was feeling so bad that I started walking down the street towards her. She always used to look at people passing by... with one hand stretched... torn clothes... face filled with mud... and her health, as if she has not eaten since months.

When I showed her the sandwich piece and asked if she wanted it, she replied with a low voice which was barely audible… but I could make out… “Ye kya hai? (What is this?)” I said “khane ka hai (Food)”, I gave that fourth piece, which cost some 11.25 bugs, to her and turned back.

On my way back, I saw a street food vendor, he was cooking Rice and Daal (pulses) and a Curry. I remembered someone telling me… these street food vendors charge 15 bugs for one full plate of food. I was ashamed, I was ashamed at what I had done in past, what I did today… and what I could have done today… I was ashamed of what I had seen when some of my friends do it… what I see everyday happening at several big food joints… huge food courts… restaurants…and so many other places!!

The 10-20-30 bugs food that we waste after already stuffing us with more than the required food, can actually be a full plate meal to someone… someone who has not eaten full stomach in a week!!

Let us think about at least one person… who is hungry… let us not waste those 10-20-30 bugs… let us stop... Think for a minute… whether… there is someone… we see everyday... Who is hungrier than the dust bins…! Let us help them!

Save food… Save life…!!!

Dil ki baat bataun tujhe... Aey mere Saajna!
Kitna main chahu tujhe,
Khushiyan saari waarun tujhpe,
Jeena marna... Ab tujhse... Aey mere Saajna!
Aa jana.. Aana.. Mere Saajna!!!

Dil ka ye rishta, jaane hai kitna purana..
Thehra hua hai kabse..
Sapno ka lamba... kaarvan..
Sapne wo ab sach banana...
Jeena marna.. Ab tujhse... Aey mere Saajna!
Aa jana.. Aana.. Mere Saajna!!!

Andheri raaton mein aaj phir... Yaadein satayein!
Chand mera yun Chupa na.. Saajna..
Dekh le ek baar phir wo aakhen..
In aakhon se behte... har ek aansu saajna..
Sapne wo ab sach banana...
Jeena marna.. ab tujhse.. Aey mere saajna!
Aa Jana.. Aana.. Mere Saajna!!!

Pyar hai ab bhie utna.. Jaane tu.. Jaanu main..
Phir badhati kyu jarahi... Duriyaaan!!
Labzon mein ghulti thi.. ankahee joostajoo!
Baaton ka kahan khoya.. silsila saajna
Jeena Marna... Sab tujhse... Mere Saajna..
Aa Jaana.. Aana.. Mere Saajna!!!

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat,
But always keep that hunger!!!

May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small,
When you stand beside the ocean!!!

Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens,
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance...

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance....
I hope you dance....

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance!!!

Living might mean taking chances,
But they're worth taking,
Lovin' might be a mistake,
But it's worth making!!!
Don't let some hellbent heart,
Leave you bitter...
When you come close to selling out,
Reconsider!!!

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

I hope you dance...
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance...
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance...
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance...
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small,
When you stand by the ocean...
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens!!!
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance!!!
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...

Dance...
I hope you dance...
I hope you dance...
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance...
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance...
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance...
(Where those years have gone)
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance...
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
