The Pursuit of Happiness

My first poem....

The pursuit of happiness
Search for a treasure in the wilderness
Is it the end or is it endless?
The pursuit of happiness

Its my right but still i have to fight
A rare time when its not against others' might
Its within me but still out of sight
Its only i who can show me the light

The pursuit of happiness....

The road is so slippery
One moment seems victory
At the next you are in a misery
Is there any who can claim mastery

The learned say it is a temporary emotion
Some proclaim it is just a deception
Many say it was lost at the time of creation
But i wont stop till i can shout in elation

The pursuit of happiness
Search for a treasure in the wilderness
Is it the end or is it endless
The pursuit of happiness

The bliss is in smiling & loving;
& to be with, who are worth it,

It is in designing & creating;
& in appreciating things that we love (it);

It is in dreaming & achieving;
& to trumpet that you’ve done it,

It is in learning & innovating;
& in believing that it(knowledge) persists,

It is in being curious & inquiring;
& to let it (mind) wander - not to resist,

It is in living & being;
& in knowing that we exist,

The Bliss is all around you;
& it is in being alive,

Its been there & nothing is new;
realize, recognize & you'll thrive.

With love
Nilay Shah

The Gardener's Craft and the Bloom of Bharatiya Sabhyata

Imagine a beautiful nursery having fragrant and colourful flowers. The Gardener has the knowledge of how to cultivate them, trim them, grow them etc. He plants the seeds and gives adequate manure and water. He has the knowledge of which seed needs how much of what resource. Once this is done the plant grows, he protects them from bad weather, directs them towards sunlight. He experiments , learns and practices this daily. The solutions and process that he devises to make the nursery blooming forms his knowledge and the craft. Now, when the plant grows up and starts blooming, starts giving beautiful flowers, whose fragrance is felt all across the locality, the whole locality enjoys it. But now neither the locality knows how this happened nor the plant knows. And in fact the process forward is even more beautiful and autonomous.  Once the flower grows, one of its part becomes fruit. the locality enjoys the fruit. Then the seeds of the same fruit fall on the ground

Analysing the 2024 Elections: A Deep Dive into State-wise Performance and Candidate Selection   Image Credits: NDTV Introduction The 2024 election results have shaken a lot of BJP supporters and the day of result was tense and shocking for many like me. And there has been lot of talk, analysis, blame game, conspiracy theories floating around, hence I thought of giving a cold look at numbers and analysing the results in key states. This analysis delves into the performance of different states, focusing on candidate selection, anti-incumbency factors, and overall election outcomes. By examining data from key states—Uttar Pradesh (UP), Maharashtra (MH), and Bihar—we can better understand the strategies that worked, those that failed, and the overall electoral dynamics. State Selection The states of Uttar Pradesh (UP), Maharashtra (MH), and Bihar were chosen for this analysis because they provide a comprehensive view of BJP's performance. UP and MH are the states w

Advitiya Karmayogi - Narendra Modi

Advitiya Karmayogi - Narendra Modi The media and opposition are going berserk over Modi’s two-day meditation at Dhyan Mandapam at Vivekananda Rock. It seems like a fitting conclusion to the hustle and bustle of the two-month-long election campaign. This election felt like a match between a Yogi, focused with his mind, body, and spirit on his goal, and an opposition that was haywire, making incoherent statements, offering unachievable promises, and presenting half-baked narratives like wealth distribution. It was a contest between a ‘Nispruhi’ man (detached) and a heated-up, hot-headed, directionless group. Consequently, the result will be as long foretold. If we zoom out and look at Modi as a person shaping Bharat for a glorious and prosperous future, it becomes evident that his impact is much more profound than what we have witnessed so far. We have seen glimpses of his personality, which a distant observer wouldn’t have notic
