This Diwali light up life's

"Let There Be Light"

But no pollution and noise...

Wishing all my readers, friends and family a very happy, sensible and a safe Diwali

-Deepak Nichani

Infinite expressions of my inner-self!!

As I move along, in the path of life.
Into the wilderness,
Alone in search of light.
To find myself,
In the lost me.
To know what is wrong, and what is right.

A cluster of distorted thoughts in my mind,
As I close my eyes.
Infinite thoughts flash in front of me in forward and rewind.

Bringing with it a million expressions of sorrow, joy, guilt, hate, love, pain and pleasure.
That I experience all @ the same time.

Unleashing my angels and demons together,
A clash ages old which creates a light so divine.

The light that guides me.
The light that stays inside.
The light that is a part of me.
The light that I can no more hide.

Like a dragon that breaths fire for the first time.
I unleash the light, into the wild.
Shine on, move on
To where I belong.

A Theory Practical Enough!!

Life Is a Source of inspiration for me, life for me is about learning and nurturing yourself to attain a higher level of satisfaction in whatever you do.

My dad told me once, “Son every person you know/meet, no matter who he/she is will have something or the else to teach you”. All of us are gifted with something special, it is only a matter of time and the day of self realization should come soon.

Success is a high that cannot be experienced fully until you have experienced the lows of failure. Success is a different high, success is addictive and success can definitely get into your head. The important thing is to stay grounded and never forget your roots (bloody roots).

The most memorable moments in one’s life lies between the days you aim for something, till the day you achieve it. As once you have it you have it.

All our life we set benchmarks, benchmarks for ourselves. But in the process often take them for granted. We start judging our capacity and capability on these self made bench marks, as they are the maximum you have achieved in a given situation, on a given day @ a given time and in this way we limit our self’s.

Learning and growing does not end with college and master degrees it goes on till you take your last breath and beyond.

Let yourself loose,
Let yourself free.
Let yourself open your wings,
Let yourself fly
Fly far across the horizons of time.
Into the infinite sky
Fly proud, fly high.

The Un-Named

No moon in the sky
No stars too
A night so moor

A night so clam
A breeze so still
My thoughts so numb
Guess I don’t know what to do?

Into the wilderness
My heart wanders
With its nemesis
The brain
They fight they collide
Over and over again

A fight that never ends
A fight where no one wins
Complicating further
Complicated things

In this darkness
I look for a light
I look for you
My love my delight

The sky shines
With a thousand suns light
As I see you that night

My heart finds serenity
My brain finds peace
As I find you, I realize
You are what I need

"Music"- The Eternal Savior

Been there when I want it
Been there in my need
Can close my eyes and fall back on
No one but music indeed

A rush of adrenaline
A chill in my spine
Have to admit it

It’s the only thing that is real

The only thing close to the divine

As deep as the ocean
But its water so sweet
As high as the sky
The happiness in me

Can’t imagine life without it
Not even if I try
And
If I say I can
You know that I lie

A song for every gesture
A song for every mood
A song for every emotion
A song for every start and a song to conclude

Music is an expression
An expression of your inner-self
Just like a piece of sky for every one
A piece for you to possess

The man don’t pick the music
The music picks the man
Only to surrender,
Is what’s on your hand

Music see no cast
Music see no creed
Music is what will bring the world together
Together on its knees

Music is the celebration
The celebration of life indeed
For ages it’s the savior
Music is today what the world needs

Music And Beyond- "Bob Marley"

Whenever anyone comes across the word reggae the first name that they can think of is off course Bob Marley.

The Jamaican legend, king of reggae Bob Marley did it his way. With a unique combination of fun loving, easy going Caribbean music along with powerful lyrics, He inspired a generation to unite and stand together to celebrate life in peace and Harmony.

Some of his most classic numbers include buffalo soldier, no woman no cry, could you be loved, get up stand up, stir it up, three little birdie’s, one love, I shot the sheriff, exodus and many more.

But on April 22nd 1978 he did something that gave him god like status, not only in Jamaica but all over the world.

There was political unrest in the country, the two political parties were fighting and the whole nation was affected. Bob Marley decided to do the one love concert as his effort to unite the people once again.

The Warring political leaders Prime Minister Michael Manley and Edward Seaga were invited to the concert. Bob Marley managed to get both of them on stage and to shake hands in front of the people which ended the fight.

That night to every Jamaican, every fan and every humanitarian was unique, as they enjoyed that moment of unity and witnessed a man going beyond the conventional proving to the world that music is defiantly the biggest religion that prevails, it can bring people of all kinds and views together.

It is that day and today no one can help surrendering to his music. Even though if he is not with us today, his spirit, thoughts and beliefs are still alive and are talking to us through his music, t-shirts, caps, accessories, posters and tattoo’s.

\m/…. “Most people think, Great God will come from the skies, Take away everything And make everybody feel high. But if you know what life is worth, You will look for yours on earth: And now you see the light, You stand up for your rights. jah!” \m/… - Bob Marley.

A Modern Day Tale...

Liberalization of the world
Liberal in what terms
Eventually the concept blurs

Blurs right in front of my eye
My brain fails to register
Does not respond I guess I know why

An era of free markets, free trade
Whatever happened to the free world, free country and Free State?
Admit it you just cannot handle more than what’s on your plate

The world has become a smaller place
The kilometers have been conquered
Conquered by the human brain
But what about the distance of understanding another man
The distance in our hearts have increased why I can’t explain?

Look at our children what are they growing with
Tales of crime, war, pollution and politics
It is difficult for the naïve to differentiate reality from myth

Education and schools yes they are helping a lot
Planting the seeds of confusion into the brains of the young lot
The affected young ones with distorted thoughts
Are nurturing their devils inside them ready to blast

What about the common man,
The common man is like the little guinea pig
Trapped in the laboratory of life used and thrown away @ will
Like a scapegoat; trying to balance responsibilities,
He has to face all the shit.

Worse affected a victim a target to cover up all their sins
Just praying through when it would be over and when he would be out of this
