Hi friends!!

My parents named me Govind… though I did’nt like the name, it stuck with me. Eversince,  I have held it as my own. I grew up as a sober guy with lots of friends, who vouched for my honesty and sincerety more than their lives. I remember those days,  whenever there was any umpiring or refree requisite for any sports, my name would be higly recommended…for,  I could never do anything wrong, even remotely…That was the cult status I always enjoyed…even now to this date, albeit discreetly.

My idea of writing articles online, comes from a bubbly character whom I acknowledge as a great friend and a go getter. I liked to write, but was never reviewed upon….so it paves for me an opportunity to be on the other side of the firing line…where in, I expect critical hammerings for my writings, to improve myself day after day!! .

I dedicate this article to my bubbly friend, who inspired me to take up creative writing…

I see two worlds, one, with people who try to show off, arrogant, demanding, back biters and gossip mongers and on the other hand, I see people, who are sincere, friendly, helpful and down to earth. The only difference I find is that a huge population of first set of people lives in big bungalows having lots of money and spending incessantly, thriving on the second set of people who lives a life of obscurity, waiting for a ray of light to change their lives.

I love happiness, who does’nt? When I say happiness, I mean internal happiness at all times, from deep within, inside the heart… I believe if I’m truly happy, I’ll make others happy, which in turn will make me immensely happy, so I prefer to be happy, always…. 

But dont I ever get angry…? yes, I used to. Of late, I have developed a sense of calmness within me and I began to smile thru every situation. I believe that I’m a unique creation and this belief supports me and encourages me to step on to the next level…  By being happy, I learnt the virtue of patience, compassion and the true meaning of love. I intent to share my thought’s on these in the subsequent issues…
