Bollywood Imitational Parody

Now this is what i call funny!!!!!!Can you believe it this guy actully performed the whole song. The thing that i love about youtube is that is showcases the talents of the people who have no opportunity to reach a wide audience. I had been writing about a lot of depressing stuff lately and was actually tired myself of all the boring and preaching things that i had been saying. This was sent to me by a friend of mine and i decided to share with the people here(who ever they may be hopefully there are some). This guy seems to have a lot of talent and the facial expressions are amazing. Really love the part where he moves the muppet on his head and tries to search for it!!!
What we need to understand and what i gather from this video is that every one of us has some talents that God has granted to us. To find them is the challenge and to use them moreso. People who believe that others can help us find those talents better than ourself are sadly mistaken. Noone and i mean noone knows us better than ourself and that the only person who can identify our talents is ourself. Youtube is a perfect medium to tell other people what you are good at and in turn help them wake up their own creative talents!!!!

Situations

I havent written a lot on the blog since October, in fact i havent written anything at all. The reason was that i was very busy with a number of things. These things led me to ponder once again on the intricacies of life and how nothing is in our control. It shook my views and my pride on being young and in venerable and somewhat like superman or something. That view was shattered to bits when in early November i got the news that a friend of mine at University died of blood cancer! This guy was 3 years my junior and i remember very well ragging him in the point and the university as well. This actually shook me up. The guy was barely 19. That is too young an age to die.
Wonder what the Lord upstairs is thinking when He shows us these things in our life. Probably He wants us to understand how delicate the balance of life is in this world. How death can conquer all and how no one is can be spared, young or old.
A second awakening that i got was when an elderly neighbor of mine died a few days back of a heart attack. He used to take daily walks at 5pm and usually i would say hi to him in passing. His face would light up on hearing the Assalam wa Laikum and he would always inquire on my health and how life was treating me. He was about 70. Sunday morning i woke up and was told that he had passed away the night before.

19-70...........Makes you wonder dosent it. How short is your time here!
Simplify your lives. Accept your situations and embrace them rather than run away from them.

More on this later....
