All the water in the world
However hard it tried,
Could never, never sink a ship
Unless it got inside.


All the evil in the world,
the wickedness and sin,
can never sink your soul's fair craft
unless you let it in.

All the hardships of this world,
Might wear you pretty thin,
But they won't hurt you, one least bit...
Unless you let them in.
the water that waits to find a hole
to sink a ship and harm the soul

the water that looks to find the depth
to sink a ship and take you there,

the strenght of the ship and the soul , will be found
only though,

if you let it in

the character that fails at the first chance given
the soul that cracks at the first sign of invasion ,
the body which despairs at the first chance of
extinction,

is that the strength of the water that seeps in?


My recent musing
fond them resonable to be put on BLOG

Tired of newspapers full of depressing news about India and Indians. try this site real good site and helps keep my faith in future of India
www.goodnewsindia.com

i hope many of the reader could just visit the site and read articles of ordinary man/women's extraordinary solutions to their own problems.

My idea of a perfect date a drive in humvee on sand dunes of Thar. Followed by a spin in F117over the mighty Himalayas. Any takers???

Please visit http://nawang.org/khukri_of_honour.htm and show that somebody cares for fallen soldiers in peace times also.

Fond it quite moving and one of the few site of kargil heros which is well maintained and suitable done up.

Btw Nwang's dad Harish Kapadia is a well known author many trekking books (trekking bible for shayadri trekking)
Nawang was part of my favorite regiment in Indian army the GORKHAS.

Sam Manickshaw one said " if a person says that he has never been afraid in life either he is lying or he is a GORKHA"

The Gorkha’s are the only race that is part of three nation’s Army- Nepal, India & UK .

A civilian salute to these brave people and NWANG

when bloggers die do they go to blogger heaven?

dear junta,
i was recently enlightned that you have to "blog" regularly.i mean add new things to ur blog, generating more pages,more comments and all that.Being a born lazy(i even refused to cry when i was born due to laziness) it would be an uphill task for a downhill train( u liked the phrase i just made it).well i will try my best coz just herd/seen the adline

" When was the last time that you did something for the First time"
hope to do this time.

I got posted to Kurukshetra in Haryana. Now being a MT we had to do some work there to show the bosses. So all the Mt's decided to organise a meeting of the farmers and talk to them about farming and fertilizers. Word was sent out in the villages that "Doctors" from bombay had come and wanted to speak to the villagers. So a meeting was organised and a carpet was laid out and the MT's sat on a table in front.Google has played a huge role in acomplishing our MBA's, whatever informations and reports we got were all "googled" and submitted. All night I googled about rice farming and other topics and mugged them by heart. The next day all the Jat farmers came with thier customary Uddham Singh Style "Latths" and blankets and sat before the "Sheheri Daactors" and I began talking to them about the latest trends in rice farming, the meeting went on without a hitch untill one farmer got up and said " yeh sab to bhalo theek hai, lekin maine to gehu ugaye hai" "all this is fine but i have grown wheat". Things were beginning to go haywire. I calmly looked at the farmer and said pointing to another Management Trainee " koi baat nahin, gehu ka Daaktor yeh hai" "no problem this man is a wheat doctor", thereby sealing the poor Trainees fate. Well the story is too revealing to be told here
Then it was decided to have a "tour" of the fields. I went in the field and said " wah wah iss saal chawal ki fasal kaafi acchi hui hai", the dumbstruck farmer says " daaktor babu. yeh to gehu ki fasal hai"

So much for field Training

the joke of the year
it is hard to belive but it is true

One "individhual' asked me today " what date is valentine day falling this year"?
i took as a joke and said it depended on lunar postion and mockingly look at the desk calender.
he actually looked intrested when i confirmed after doing some calculations ona hand held "calculator"
that valentine day is falling on 14th feburay "this year"
bless lord for small mercy in life

this is one mushy poem i liked .may be this is something to do with "bandra blues" where i am staying with not many friends around


I'd like to capture a rainbow
and stick it in a big box so that,
anytime you wanted to,
you could reach in and pull out
a piece of sunshine.

I'd like to build you a mountain
that you could call your very own
a place to find serenity
in those times when you
feel the need to be
closer to yourself...

I'd like to be the one
who's there when you're
lonely or troubled
or you just need
someone to hold on to.

I'd like to do all this and more
to make your life happy.

But, sometimes,
it isn't easy to do
the things I would like to do
or give the things I would like to give.

So... until I learn how to
catch rainbows and build mountains,
let me do for you which I know best...

..Let me simply be your friend.
