Emo parlour says...

...your emotional intelligence is the foundation for a host of critical skills—it impacts most everything you do and say each day.
... everything is 'sound' if you're emotionally sound...{that you don't get carried away with this energy called "emotion", rather, you're able to enjoy (stay in it for a while, breathe-in and take time to respond) be it any emotion}
... above all be happy that you're emotional coz it's a natural endowment... so I feel blessed when people say that you're emotional...😇

when i was in pithoragarh, i thought...

I sit here today looking at the Lights in the houses, on the streets coming up one after the other... houses located encircling the little field down there... and so are the encircling roads in here... cars moving seems like blood viens to this small. Mountains all around standing tall and wide...
I started to think as I sit alone on this rooftop that...
-life is too short to explore more and more in this world
-its people, places, nature, music and food that makes you fall in love genuinely
-but nothing better than having your beloved by your side (as I see my people so happy and free - Dimpy and Shobhu) I love the way they relate to each other ...full of life
-no matter what life has on the other side (worries, tensions, sadness or anger) enjoy this moment because it is never ever gonna repeat itself... even if you come again...
-Love someone madly...like crazy... thats all you can offer to people... nothing otherwise has brought you in the world while you were born, nothing other than love is that you can carry or leave with people when you go away
-if you have loved that's enough... even though we all need to be loved too, but it's fine because you did... and if you didn't get it in return it maybe because they couldn't get you through their mind... they found it difficult to container so much love... and maybe it didn't belong to them...but you love...don't hold it back...

And finally...I think...
I'm here today and tomorrow... then I'll be somewhere else...It is amazing...Carry in the best that you can... Love...For people, places, nature, music and food...

I've never seen a lazy man...

I’ve never seen a lazy man;
I’ve seen a man who never ran
while I watched him, and I’ve seen
a man who sometimes slept between
lunch and dinner, and who’d stay
at home upon a rainy day,
but he was not a lazy man.
Before you call me crazy,
think, was he a lazy man or
did he just do things we label “lazy”?

I’ve never seen a stupid kid;
I’ve seen a kid who sometimes did
things I didn’t understand
or things in ways I hadn’t planned;
I’ve seen a kid who hadn’t seen
the same places where I had been,
but he was not a stupid kid.
Before you call him stupid,
think, was he a stupid kid or did he
just know different things than you did?

I’ve looked as hard as I can look
but never ever seen a cook;
I saw a person who combined
ingredients on which we dined,
A person who turned on the heat
and watched the stove that cook the meat –
I saw those things but not a cook.
Tell me when you’re looking,
is it a cook you see or is it someone
doing things that we call cooking?

What some of us call lazy
some call tired or easy-going,
what some of us call stupid
some just call a different knowing,
so I’ve come to the conclusion,
it will save us all confusion
if we don’t mix up what we can see
with what is our opinion.
Because you may, I want to say also;
I know that’s only my opinion.
