Nothing

A strange moth settles, on my heart, 

as it rains,

Drenched with damp love,

Sitting, reminiscing, Looking,

Out of the nostalgic window,

Damp white noise, shielding the urban chaos,

Drowning deep within,

Dampness of humid air, suffocating, yet refreshing,

Splashing on the face,

That gust washes not just the face, 

But the soul within, 

Wakes me up to the existence, 

Of freezing bones and cold hearts, 

A strange peace and calm in the white noise,

You search for the center, but find "Nothing"! 

That is all, there is, Nothing within...

Philosophy

What is philosophy?

The structure of beliefs where we function. A map that help you navigate in this pointless world full of losses, fears, regrets and remorse. There are factors and outcomes.

શું કરવું 

સંયમ 

પરિશ્રમ 

અનુશાસન 

સમતા 

પ્રતિજ્ઞા-પાલન 

દ્રઢનિશ્ચય 

એકાગ્રતા 

ધ્યાન 

શું ન કરવું ?

મનનું માનવું 

વિલાસ ભોગ 

પોતાનું ના હોય એ પડાવી લેવું 

ડરવું, ડરાવવું 

લલચાવવું 

જાણી જોઈને દુઃખ પહોંચાડવું  

People

Where are the people who listen?

Listen to understand, listen to help.

Not to talk, or to judge,

Listen to connect, listen like a friend.

Where are the people who used to help?

Help without expectation, Help without condescending,

Help when they can say no, Serve with a smile.

Help the weak, help to lift.

Where are the people who worked honestly?

Work with purpose, Work for a dream,

Not obsessed with work, but make work a way,

Work with discipline, dedication, and dependability. 

Where are the people who built their character?

With Principles and values, with wisdom and foresight,

The character of value, Character of integrity,

The character of ethics, Character of foresight.

Why am I finding them, Why can't I be one?

To encourage positivity and trust,

To bring the best out of the people,

Inspire others by being inspired with a kinder world!

Basera

Ek ladki, jo mujhko, mujhse bhi zyaadaa samajti hai!

Vaise to vo meri harek baat dilse Samajti hai!

Isiliye to, Meri bhi usi se hi Jamti hai!

Tabhi to, yeh zindagi itni khubsurat katri hai!

Magar, But, Kintu, parantu, Vo jaanti hai fir bhi anjaan banti hai,

Ki Mera Pyar agar alfazon me dhundhoge to thoda kamti hai,

Agar Instagram ki feed me dhundhoge to Farzi hai,

Aur agar Hindi Filmo se sikhoge, to to bilkul hi fail hai.

Dear, Mera Pyar kuchh nahi, Bas Pagalpanti hai,

Besure un Gaano ke bich bhuli hi vo Pankti hai.

Ya, Kisi duur gaon me pyaas buzhane ki vo danki hai,

Kabhi yeh sakti hai, to kabhi yeh Bhakti hai.

Tumhe lagta hoga, ki apni yaari gale ki Ghanti hai,

Chahe kahi bhi jao, kuchh bhi karo, hamesha bajti hai,

Ki har koshish kar do kaatne ki, par yeh dor hamesha khichti hai,

Aur kuchh kar jane par bhi, kuchh Dheeme hi chalti hai.

Par Samjo,

Yeh tamaashein hai, kai kirdar tumpar fenkti hai,

Kabhi Beta, kabhi Pati, kabhi bhai to kabhi dosti hai,

Yeh kirdaarein hamko balance karti hai,

Kabhi hame Fauji to Kabhi hame Senti karti hai,

To kabhi kabhi unhe hi bhulati hai 

jahaan sabse achhi jamti hai! 

Shikayaten hona Jaayaz hai, na tumhari koi galti hai,

Hum hi Gum the kahi Khud ke khwabon me,

Par yeh tum bhi janti ho ki khwab bhi to Jaayaz the, Jaise Shikayaten Jaayaz hai,

Par jaise Khwab bataye nahi jaate bazaaro mein, 

Shikayaten bhi apne bich rahe to achha hai,

Dhundho kisidin Ishq ko Khudhke Andar,

Fulon ke in baagaano me kaha vo Gulaab hai?

Aur jab pyaas lagi to Is Registaan me kahaan vo Talaab hai?

Jab chalte ho zindagi ke path par, to kahaan vo Sukun ki Chhanv hai?

Zanko Dilki roshni me, Kahaan vo jalta chiraag hai?

Kabhi socho ke is ped pe Kahaan hai tumhara in basera,

Tab tum samjogi, ki tu hai meri aur mai tera!

Fearlessly

Sheer disrespect to your open eyes...

Searching for Invisible and camouflage...

Observing closely just for deceptions...

Every experience is just for dear diary's eyes,

All the Crazy dreams and hallucinations!

But,

Sun is rising, wake up, Open your eyes,

Shed all your doubts of the deception,

Let things flow like stream of thoughts... 

From Hazy Disturbed waters (doubts), A clear stream will emerge (clarity),

Reach out to all the crazy dreams and Fantasies!

Fearlessly!

Priceless

In the gothic structure, in its premise

Numerous artifacts, there lies

Most of them, broken & shapeless,

There is a price for being timeless.

Slowly you stalk, 'cause you need to observe,

Only then you would see how antiques serve,

Now they get extinct and go useless,

There is a price for being timeless

Narrating memoirs, silent and loud,

Smell is how they communicate, humbly proud,

Passerby is deaf for the explanations are Voiceless

But there is always a price for being timeless.

Was that my heart or museum i was talking about,

Well, nevertheless, who cares when you didn't hold,

Someday, after a long time, you would be ageless,

You may visit my heart, and find yourself priceless

Deep meditation precedes good conversation.
Clarity is not enough. Contextual understanding adds flavour to words.

Honesty of your heart and soul is to be translated into the language of human beings. 

Higher than mere words of tongue or pen.
Expression of heart, mind, and intentions.
Emotions are gracefully positive,
The mind is not burdened with expectations,
A smile conveys much more than mere empty words,
When you never fear misunderstanding and misinterpretation and misrepresentation.
Beneath each expression lies a deep bond of trust and security.
On the edges of expression lies the intellectual feelings.
Where expressions are about thoughts, and not of impulsive throws of anger, reaction, and regrets.
When each interaction of words builds up a pyramid of solid support,
And we leave a legacy of stability and security.

પ્રફુલચંદ્ર રાવલનો પુત્રી ચિ. નિવેદિતાને પ્રથમ પત્ર

ૐ કલીમ નમઃ

ચિ. નિવેદિતા,

       લગ્ન પછીનો તરો પ્રથમ પત્ર મળ્યો. વાંચીને ખૂબ આનંદ થયો. તમો સુખરૂપ ભરૂચ પહોંચી ગયાના સમાચાર વાંચી ચિંતા ઓછી થઈ.

       જ્યારે તું દામ્પત્ય જીવન ની કેડીએ યાત્રાનો શુભારંભ કરે છે ત્યારે, આચરણ માં મૂકવાની અપેક્ષા સાથે કેટલીક શિખામણો આપવાનુ મન થાય છે.

       સુખી દામ્પત્ય જીવન ની ઇમારત, સ્નેહ, સ્વાર્પણ, સહનશીલતા અને શ્રદ્ધા ના ચાર સ્તંભ ઉપર ઊભી હોય છે. જ્યારે આ ચાર માંથી એકાદ સ્તંભ પણ ધરાશાયી થાય છે, ત્યારે દંપત્ય જીવન ની ઇમારત  જોખમાય છે.

       આપણે કોઈની પાસે સ્નેહ, વાત્સલ્ય અને સ્વમાન ની અપેક્ષા ત્યારેજ રાખી શકીએ જ્યારે આપણે સામેની વ્યક્તિ ને સ્નેહ, વાત્સલ્ય, સન્માન આપીએ. આપણી મરજી મુજબ સામેનો વ્યક્તિ વર્તે એવું આપણે ઇચ્છીએ છીએ, આપણને એ ગમે પણ છે, અને જ્યારે એમ થતું નથી ત્યારે મન દુઃખ થાય છે. પરંતુ સામેની વ્યક્તિને ગમે તેવું આપણું વર્તન હોય તોજ આપણે સામેના વ્યક્તિ પાસેથી એવી અપેક્ષા રાખી શકીએ.

કોઈ વખત આપણને ક્યાંક અન્યાય થતો હોય એવું લાગે. એવા સમયે આપણે ક્રોધ કે જીદ કરવાને બદલે, શાંત ચિત્તે ચિંતન કરીયે, કે અન્યાય શાથી થયો? તો આપણને જરૂર સમજાય કે આપણાં થી શું ભૂલ થઈ જેના પરિણામે આપણને  અન્યાય સહન કરવો પડ્યો. ઘણી વખત આપણે સાચા હોઈએ તો પણ આપણે સહન કરવુ પડે. આવા સમયે જો આપણે માત્ર આપણાજ સત્ય નો દુરાગ્રહ રાખીયે, અને ક્રોધ કે જીદ કરીયે, તો એનાથી આપણું માન ઘટે છે અને વૈમનસ્ય વધે છે. અને એક વખત મનભેદ થાય અને તિરાડ પડે છે જે ઉત્તરોઉત્તર વધતી જાય છે. આપણું સત્ય બીજાને ના પણ ગમતું હોય. એનો અર્થ એ નહી કે આપણું સત્ય પુરવાર કરવા ક્રોધ કે જીદનો આશ્રય લઈએ.

એના બદલે જો આપણે થોડા ઉદાર થઈને નિભાવી લઈએ એ આવકાર્ય છે.

તું કહેતી હતી કે ઊંઝામાં બધાએ લાલ બંગલૉ ભુલાવવા માટેના પ્રયત્ન કરેલા. આવા સદભાવના નો પ્રતિભાવ પણ આપણે અનુકૂળ જ આપવાનો હોય. શ્રી શોભનાબેન દેવેન્દ્રભાઈ જેવા માયાળુ સાસુ સસરા મળ્યા છે એ તારું સૌભાગ્ય ગણજે. બંને માંથી કોઈ પણ ને મનદુઃખ થાય એવું વર્તન કરીશ નહીં. તું તો વિશાળ કુટુંબમાંજ ઉછરી છે. એથી તારા સ્વભાવ માં સંકુચિતતા કે સ્વકેન્દ્રપણું છેજ નહીં.

તને આપણા પરિવારની વહુઓ ના દુર્વ્યવહાર નો અનુભવ તો છેજ. એમના આવા કટુ અનુભવ થી તું એટલો તો બોધ પાઠ જરૂર થી લેજે કે સાસુ સસરા નણંદ જેઠાણી ને દુભાવીને સુખી સંસાર બનાવી શકાતો નથી. કદાચ ક્ષણિક સુખ પ્રાપ્તિ થાય, પણ લાંબા ગાળે એ દુઃખદાયી નીવડે છે. એના વિરુદ્ધ પૂર્ણિમા અને સુલેખા નો દાખલો યાદ કરજે કે એમને સ્વતંત્ર  જીવન જીવવા ની તક મળવા છતાં, સાસુ સસરા ને અળગા રાખ્યા નથી. દરેક માં-બાપ ઇચ્છતા હોય છે કે વૃદ્ધાવસ્થા માં પુત્ર-પુત્રવધુ તેમની સેવા ચાકરી નિજધર્મ માનીને કરે અને એ આવી અપેક્ષા રાખે એમાં કઈ ખોટું પણ નથી.

ચિ. દેવદત્ત જેવા પ્રેમાળ પતિ ના સહચર નું તને સૌભાગ્ય સાંપડ્યું છે. એ પણ ઈશ્વર ની કૃપા જ સમજજે. અને એમની ઈચ્છા ને સર્વોપરી રાખજે અને તારું સમગ્ર વ્યક્તિત્વ, માન, અભિમાન, જેમ દૂધ માં સાગર ઓગળી જાય એમ ઓગળી દેજે. આથી જીવન માં મીઠાશ ફેલાશે. એમને પોતાની પસંદ ઉપર અફસોસ થાય એવુ કોઈ વર્તન કરીશ નહીં.

આપણાથી કાઈ ભૂલ થઇ હોય અને એનું ભાન થાય તો તે નિઃસંકોચ સ્વીકારી લેવી જોઈએ. માત્ર અપડે જ સાચા હોઈએ એવો દુરાગ્રહ રાખવો જોઈએ નહીં.

તે પત્ર માં છેલ્લે માફી છે એથી ખૂબ દુઃખ થયું. માફી તો પારકા ની માંગવાની હોય. અંતર ના માણસો એ માફી મંગવાની હોય જ નહીં. તારાથી કોઈ એવું અઘટિત થયું જ નથી કે જેની માફી માંગવી પડે. માટે હવે એવું કદી લખીશ નહીં.

તારી ઘેરહજરી સાલે તો છે જ. તારા વગર ઘર સુનું સુનું લાગે છે પણ ત્યાં તું સુખી છે એજ અમારા માટે ઘણું છે.

પત્ર ના અંતે, તું અને ચિ. દેવદત્ત દીર્ઘ, સુખી અને સફળ દામ્પત્ય જીવન ભોગવો અને જગત જનની જગદંબા તમને ખૂબ સુખ સમૃદ્ધિ આપે એવી પ્રાર્થના.

પત્ર લખજે.

લી.

પપ્પા-કિલા ના કોટી કોટી શુભાષીશ.

And Then She Came

Unaware of the world, I sailed
I was always searching, for my flame
I don't know reason, but I failed
And then she came

Fear and curiosity, drove me
Feelings whirled, that I can't name
Butterflies fluttered in stomach
And then she came

Raging the war with myself
Was it she or me, to blame?
Finding no solution I felt,
Was I being lame?

She slowly stopped showing up
Trying to fill the void again,
But her memories attacked me time and again
I was not the same

Escaping through getting busy
Making me workoholic, damn!!
People calls me crazy, but i forget,
Coz lifes just a game..

Diving Deep

When you take a dive into the new worlds that books create in your mind, the dancing and singing characters in them, somehow, percolate into you. Some part of them, hires a place in you, and start living in you. You may forget the plot, important details, but you'll never let go of the part of their character that has percolated inside you.

I mean when you read Sherlock Holmes you start deducing and analyzing stuff around you. Though you are not blessed with those gifted mental faculties, you want to draw big conclusions from scanty available information. The things around you suddenly become very interesting. At least in your mind. 

When you read God of Small Things, the quietness of the brokenhearted Estha gets into your personality. And at the end you get confused whether to be happy about the wild night of Ammu and Velutha's love making, so beautifully depicted, or get disgusted by the societal rules that destroyed not only the lives of lovers but also the twins. Also your insecure, fearful and childish self resurfaces.

When you read Shantaram, you feel like life is a collection of beautiful experiences, each of which is worth experiencing and sharing. You  get to feel the many experiences of Gregory David Roberts, just by reading the book. And you wish to go to the Leopold someday just to discuss philosophy with the beautiful Karla or the mafia king Khaderbhai. 

When you read The Alchemist, your conviction towards your dreams becomes stronger. Your heart starts speaking the language of the universe and you want to listen to it. You start believing in your dreams and start following them. This itself changes the way we see things. We start connecting the occurrence of some small event with our huge dreams, and in a strange way, it aligns us even more to that dream and its realization.  Even a small event like getting a ride to somewhere and reaching there safely makes you believe that it is all Maktub, that these things are happening to you, everything is written.
 

Tuesdays with Morrie helps you get wise. You start understanding what things matter and what do not. The book says that you won’t remember the presentations that you make but the smiles that you bring on the faces of your family and friends. And how to make peace with yourself just by forgiving yourself first and then the people around you.

When you read The Fountainhead, you become least bothered about what others may think about your actions. You start focusing on yourself. You do what you want to and not what you are supposed to. That is the real freedom that one can experience.

When you read about The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, you become comfortable with your small awkwardness and start cherishing the small brain you have unlike the ingenious Lisbeth. It’s lovely to know about such interesting people, who just by sitting at their laptops can control computers and servers across the continents.

It is altogether a new experience to read Harry Potter. In the fantasy world, you get into an adventure to fight against he-who-cannot-be-named. The ways and the means, the helps and the betrayals, the friends and the foes. You can connect with almost everything. You start thinking that the person you are talking to might be considering you a Muggle. And believe, someday, you might have found a Platform Nine and Three-Quarters but were fired with the Obliviate charm and so you don't remember anything about it. A sentence I believe in, from an author I admire sums it all up:

“I don't believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.” 

 J.K. Rowling

PS:- Please do me a favour by posting about books, that you dived in, or should I say the character that dived deep into your character.

Careless. Carefree. How will I care!

Spring time. Cool oceanic breezes. 23 hours have passed since I last slept. I’m lying on my back on the floor of the terrace of an 8 storey building. Puffing a black. Loosening up with every smoke cloud I blow. It’s a full moon night. Light clouds move sluggishly over the moon, or maybe under – probably under. Slow and uninterrupted. They are stationary and you are not. You are relieved from every problem and every manacle. You don’t feel like moving at all. You want to lie there forever and ever and ever. Your head is spinning. You put all your efforts into staying awake. Your heart is pumping. You are alive… I am alive.

Nobody in the world is as free and as unbounded as I am.

Thinking about life.
Bharuch. Surat. Baroda.

The way it was. The way it is. And the way it will be.

Careless. Carefree. How will I care!

A place where I didn’t know how stuff works and never cared if they worked.
A place where the reason for not going to class was just plain drowsiness.
A place where I don’t get paid if I don’t work.


For some moments, I am so lost in my own thoughts that I totally forget that someone is there just beside me. He seems desperate to get a girl. I blabber what Google suggests. For me, nothing in the world matters anymore. I am happy and content with what I am and what I have. I think it is okay to be anybody. It is okay to be a nobody in college. It is okay to be rude. It is okay to live life as you want to. It is okay to be confident. It is okay to be happy. I sometimes deserve happiness.
I have not achieved anything commendable, yet, that doesn’t mean that I won’t achieve them now. The cigarette kick is receding. I find that I am thinking that I will do great at Baroda. I am suddenly more focused and aligned in my thoughts.

And, suddenly, I am back to normal. I stand on the top of the college. I look at the sleeping city; hear the cock-a-doodle-doo of a rooster far, far away. The black sky has a bluish hue. It is morning again. I must get some sleep now.

MIGHT EVEN GIVE HER AWAY

A smile on her face,

Love in her eyes, you find at no place,

Behind the head, there is a plait of hair,

The face is oval, completion so fair,

And peace in her lap, and care in her gaze... 



She was the witness of my crest and troughs,

I was tolerated in my bests and roughs,

My thoughts gravitated towards her in the lonely starry nights,

All of our nostalgic memories usher me to wobbling kites.



Plodding ahead in time,

Pining for love, so sublime,

I ruefully think about the day,

when I

MIGHT EVEN LOSE HER...

Into The Wild

Tranquilizing peace of forest was relieving me from the loads of promises, making me unbound from the world I am strongly chained with. It was promising me basic needs like good food, fresh air and pure water. It was deterring the fact that I was a social animal and was emphasizing I am only peace loving animal. It provides me a homely lap of Mother Nature. And for an aimless, wandering man like me it was more appealing than worldly problems. She never betrays her follower. While the life here is full of infidelity. Everyone here is selfish whose prime aim is to earn money and to satisfy the ego. Here happiness is sometimes defined in insult or failure of other. Though in forest food of one is death of other but sometimes death is more commendable than insult. Death puts end to all pains but insult increases distances between two close friends. Due to this our character has adapted suspiciousness. The sweet squeaking bird overhead was far more pacifying than rock and jazz. All the beautiful scenes are seen in nature, our mother. Mother, which feeds us, and never complains the harm, that we cause of her. Colourful flowers, some rare combination of chilling green colour, a slip of a drop of dew from the tip of flower are the virtues of forest of which we are generally unaware in between the forest of concrete jungle.

MINESWEEPER - Inspired by Life

I wonder whether or not Microsoft has taken any kind of inspiration from god while designing the game, quite analogous to the life. Consider following points: First of all, when we open the minesweeper, what we find is, it’s blank. We have no hint, no idea from where to start, but as we know that it will never explode in first chance. That is what we call beginner’s luck. We know that it is always important to have a good start, and even if it is a bad one we can very well make to success through hard work and intelligence. But if start is good, it always helps. Similarly, for success it is not necessary whether you are born with silver spoon or is a slum of Dharavi, but if your dad is a rich man it always helps. As we proceed, we know that more the haste less are the chances to win. We need to be patient. Concentration, practice, hard-work, intelligence and persistence are always required to win the match. Similar is the case with life. All the above parameters are the most important ingredients of success. Time matters. And it matters a lot. Time is a variable by which you are graded. Less the time, better you play. So we need to be very much calculative in the matter of time. We must save each second for better records. Same is with life. In life cannot go back in time and modify or change our decisions. Ones we click on a mine(=bomb), we are over. We need to start the game all again. Same is the case with friendship. We would be playing very well. But then due to just a small mistake whole life long friendship gets ruined. Though we would be playing very well, but there always comes a time when we need to take the risk. There is always a time when we need to take the resort on luck. There is always a time when things are not in our control. It may also happen that bad luck becomes the reason of our failure. But we should not feel heart broken. We tried hard and lost the game. It should be accepted as god’s will. Let’s be a little more optimistic. Let’s say god has a better plan, better than this one. Let’s say new game is waiting for us. And at the end of the game we feel as if we have accomplished something. Similar is the feeling we get when we taste success. We feel that we are on the top of the world. That’s it. Above mentioned points are a little distorted as you would find it. But they were felt by me while playing it repeatedly. Other than these points minesweeper helps us in increasing concentration and quick responses. And above all it’s really fun. Every time I play I feel like I am solving a kind of puzzle….

Feelings of the broken heart

It was getting more and more tedious for him to breath. for him either his world was doomed or world had smothered him. Now he was confused who was he going to talk to. Pain had subsided under hopelessness and despair. All his world, his universe consisted of just a beautiful girl. The cute and innocent girl who was his ambition, his hope, his dream and his imaginations. But now the girl has left him ruined. Every part of his body ached badly, as if asking the reason of their existence, especially heart. Now, whom would the eyes see, whom would the ears listen with rapt attention, whom would his tongue praise. Hadn't he had a heart, it wouldn't have broken him. Her last words still echoed in his ears like they were compelling him to be more and more numb. Words that may change his life forever. Has his decisions deceived him or its result...He was thinking of the chronicles of mistakes. he started hating english language for having 2 words "IT'S OVER" . Oh! words spoken by a very sweet voiced, sweet looking girl....






hey readers i am not knowing how to end our article... If you have any sugessions please please let me know... soon....

Line between what we WANT and what we NEED

Yesterday, I was driving, and the radio went off for few seconds. I thought i should have an ipod. Then suddenly I realised that I have not used my Ipod in last 6 months. And then.... more things, handy cam in last 2 years, digital cam in last 2 months, DVD player in last 1 month and many more . Now I can say that I bought that handy cam just out of an impulse, I have used it just twice in 2 years.

So, whats wrong? when I look at my self and my friends I can see it everywhere. we are not happy with what we have but stressed and not happy for thigs we dont have. You have santro you want city, you have city you want skoda. just buying a phone you need another one. better laptop, faster cars, bigger TV, bigger house, more luxury, more money. I mean, examples are never ending. The point is does it really worth? do we ever think if we actually need them before we want them?


After this I was forced to think what I need and what I dont. May be I didnt need this handy cam or the Ipod or that DVD player. When I see my father back at home. He has simple BPL TV , he doesnt need 32" sony wall mount. he has cellphone worth 2500rs. Whenever I ask to him to replace, he says

its just the phone, I need thisjust to call

and believe me he is much happier than me with those simple devices. th very reason that makes him happier is that he is doesnt want things in life that makes life luxurious, but he wants only those that makes life easier. It's very fine line between these two, but after lookin my fathers life closely,I got the point.
He needs a cell phone.... but not an expensive one.
Initialy I got lot of questions.
I am earning good, still I am not happy...why?
I have all luxury, still I am stressed....why?
I had great weekend, still I am feeling tired..why?
I met lot of people, I Thought over it and again and again, I still don't know if I got answer or not, but I figure out certain things. I realized that one thing that keeps us stresed is "stay connected syndrome. I realized that, at home i am logged in messenger, cheking mails, using social networking sites,and top of that my windows mobile not letting me disconnected. On the weekend itself, trying to avoid unwanted calls... and that is keeping my mind full of stress. I realized that I am spending far less than what I earn. Still I am stressed about money,salary and job.

May be some people call this approach as "not progressive attitude", but I want my life back. Ultimately it's a single life, a day gone is a day gone. I believe if I am not happy tonight, I wont be happy tomorrow morning. I finally realized that meeting friends, spending time with our beloved, spending time with ourselves is the most important thing. If on sunday, you are alone and have no body to talk with your all money, your luxury is wasted. May be cutting down your requirements, recalculating your goals in the light of today's happiness is a worthwhile thing to do.
May be selling your Santro and buying City on EMIs is not a good idea.

I believe putting your happiness ahead of your money is the choice we need to make...
