SHIQURDU: 20

 

 

116

जो जाहिर हो जाए वह दर्द कैसा

और

जो दर्द को महसूस ना कर सके

वह हमदर्द कैसा..

 

117

चले तो थे दोस्तों का पूरा काफिला लेकर…

पर कुछ “जुदा” हो गए

कुछ “खुदा” हो गए…

कुछ “गुमशुदा” हो गए,

और

 

कुछ “शादीशुदा” हो गए,

 

118

किस्मत की किताब

खूब लिखी थी मेरी खुदा ने

बस वही पन्ना गुम था

जिसमे सकूं का जिक्र था.

 

119

कील के  हौसले की तरह टिके  रहो .

तस्वीरों का क्या.

वो तो वक्त के साथ बदलती हैं

 

120

जुबानी इबादत ही काफ़ी नहीं

ख़ुदा सुनता  है ख़यालात भी

 

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd sounding name, but felt appropriate for the collection.

 

  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., hindi and english). Although in some cases the language has been simplified but attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.

 

  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep meaning messages.

Double Celebration: One year of Blogging and 200th Post

Air Marshal’s Perspective

(Candid and to the point – काम की बात)

Ranked 13th in the list of Top 25 Indian Defence Blogs and Websites

 

 

 

This blog was started in the month of September 2020.  It has been one year since then, with 200 posts.

 

Enjoyed researching topics related to defence, security, geo-politics, technology, leadership and management etc. The posts were interspersed with some humour and quotes.

 

Tried to live up to the motto of the blog – “Candid and to the point – काम की बात”. Most of the posts are short ones (two to three pages), covering the essence of the topic in bullet form.

 

The credit for starting the blog goes to my course mate and friend Col Murali. He provided me the space, encouraged me and held my hand initially.

 

Credit also goes to another course mate Vicky Sheorey for getting me all the equipment needed for video conference and recordings.

 

Sincere Thanks to all the subscribers and readers for the encouragement.

 

To provide a panoramic view of the blog, here are the links to the posts on various topics:-

THE SCIENCE OF KARMA

On the occasion of Ganesha Chaturthi came across interesting laws of KARMA

Karma

Karma is the Sanskrit word for action. It is an unbreakable law of the cosmos: the law of cause and effect.

Karma is simply those situations or interactions that help us to navigate our path toward our higher purpose.

Karma is a philosophy of how to live our lives so we can truly become the best version of ourselves and live the most fulfilling life we desire.

Karma is a way of living life that promotes positive thinking and actions.

 

Laws of Karma.

Like Newton’s Law of Motion, Karma also has laws.

 

  1. The Law of Cause & Effect: As you sow, so shall you reap.

According to this law, whatever thoughts or energy you put out, you get back — good or bad.

To receive happiness, peace, love, and friendship, one must BE happy, peaceful, loving, and a true friend.

 

  1. The Law of Creation: Life Requires Our Participation.

The law of creation underscores the importance that life doesn’t just happen to us. To make things happen in your life, you need to take action, instead of waiting for something to magically come your way.

 

  1. The Law of Humility: Accepting “What is”.

The law of humility is based on the principle that you must be humble enough to accept that your current reality is the result of your past actions.

One must accept something in order to change it. 

 

  1. The Law of Growth: Growth starts within us.

To positively shape the world, you need to start with yourself. That’s because real change or personal growth begins with what you have control over, which is yourself, not others.

The law of growth also looks at the things you can’t control and how you deal with accepting this fate. Ultimately, your focus should be on you, not trying to control the people or things around you.

 

  1. The Law of Responsibility: Our Life Is of Our Own Doing.

One must take responsibility for what is in one’s life.

If there is something wrong in one’s life, there is something wrong in them.

 

  1. The Law of Connection: Everything in the Universe Is Inter-connected.

This law is based on the principle that everything in your life, including your past, present, and future, are connected.

Who you are today is the result of your previous actions and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of your actions today.

 

  1. The Law of Focus: Focus on one thing at a time.

Focusing on too many things at once can slow you down and lead to frustration and negativity.

Focus on positive values like love and peace, then you’re less likely to be distracted by negative feelings of resentment, greed, or anger,”

 

  1. The Law of Giving & Hospitality: Your actions, reflect your deeper beliefs.

You must give to the things you believe in.

Give without expecting to get anything in return.

 

  1. The Law of Here & Now: Embrace the present.

To experience peace of mind, you have to embrace the present and let go of negative thoughts or behaviours from your past.

If you get too focused on past events, you’ll keep reliving them. Old thoughts, old patterns of behaviour, and old dreams prevent us from having new ones.

 

  1. The Law of Change: Change gives you a new path.

According to this principle, history will continue to repeat itself until you learn from the experience and take steps to do something differently to stop the cycle.

Create a new future and a better version of yourself, free from the patterns of the past.

 

  1. The Law of Patience & Reward: Be consistent in your goals.
    To generate change in the future, we must be consistent in our karmic deeds today.

Rewards of lasting value require patient and persistent toil. True joy comes from doing what one is supposed to be doing, and knowing that the reward will come in its own time.

 

  1. The Law of Significance & Inspiration: Your contributions will affect the world

We all play a part and have something to contribute to this world. We have been born with a specific gift, mission, and purpose that only you can bring into the world with your uniqueness.

What we share may sometimes seem small to us but can make an enormous difference in someone else’s life.

 

Summary: Ready Reckoner

  1. As you sow, so shall you reap.
  2. To make things happen in your life, you need to take action.
  3. Accept something in order to change it. 
  4. To bring in change start with yourself.
  5. Our Life Is of Our Own Doing.
  6. Everything in the Universe (past, present and future) is Inter-connected.
  7. Focus on positive things.
  8. Your actions, reflect your deeper beliefs.
  9. Embrace the present and let go of past.
  10. The Law of Change: Change gives you a new path.
  11. Pursue your goals with perseverance.
  12. Your contributions will affect the world
