Blogchatter A2Z 2022 - Fine Thought Five Liners Day 26 Zenith

 Preamble:  I participated in the A2Z challenge 2021 on the theme "Random Thoughts on Random words" wherein I wrote an article each day on a random subject starting with the specific alphabet . Since it is expected to be more challenging this year as I would be travelling, I have decided to write  everyday short 'Five liners" on similar lines but  with a twist that they would be providing some insight into life in general and the focus would be on  "Fine Thoughts" meaning, no dwelling on negativity or pessimism.  According to  the dictionary, "Fine" means   'Superior',  'high grade choice', 'excellent', or 'admirable:' 



 






Day 25  Zenith   

It's all very well to aim for the Zenith, the highest point

yet, in the absence of fundamentals, may tumble down like a pack of cards

being grounded, having one's head on ones's shoulders

and legs firmly on the ground helps 

even as we aim, work for and reach the Zenith...

Day 24 Yellow- Positive

Edward de Bono, the creator would say that his Six  thinking hats, with colours

White(data), Red (intuition), Yellow (positive), Black (critical), Green (creativity), Blue (overview)

all be used in a balance, harmonious manner for best results...

yet given the human tendency, particularly these days to latch on to the black hat

I would err on the side of the Yellow- focus little more on positive aspects of things!

 Day 23  Winning  

Let us win over ourselves, win over our own thoughts & mind 

before we set out to win over others

In the process, we may learn some home truths about winning 

that it's not about subjugation, overpowering others 

but winning them over with the persuasive power of love & compassion

Day 22 Valiant

"The valiant tastes of death but once" wrote the great dramatist

such courage is possible only from a total absence of fear

antidote to fear is the emotion at the other end of continuum- Love

Love coupled with the blessings of the 'higher power'

ensures you remain valiant in all situations, at all times!

लम्बा सफर









हज़ारों मील के सफर  - बेंगलुरु से सिडनी,  के बाद 

मैं अपने पोता  से मिला, पहला बार 

सफर की थकान, हवाई अड्डा प्रणाली की तकलीफ

 सब भूल गए मासूम चेहरा, देखते ही 

 उसका कोमल माथा चूमते ही ...


इस सफर  तो संपन्न हुआ 

पर यात्रायें और भी होंगे 

सोचे तो ,पूरा जीवन हम 

एक  सफर से  दूसरा सफर,

 चलते रहने वाले , कठपुतलियाँ  है न ? 


दौड़ते रहेंगे  हम,  झेलते रहेंगे हम  

अंतिम सफर तक, जिस की  मंज़िल   

न तुम जानो या  मैं... 


राजीव मूतेडत   

NB इस कविता को मै  "Poetry for seniors today"  मंच पर  प्रस्तुत किया था |   (in April 2022)

Day 21 Understanding

Understanding comes with willingness

one needs to care enough to listen, appreciate

slip into another's-  his/her shoes 

willing not to be rigid,  stubborn in your own views

And then, perhaps 'understanding' will blossom, provide mutual happiness...
