Life and Worshipping the Shivling

Darshith Badiyani life, shivling, shst, smiles here & smiles there , , , , , , , , ,

The way to worship Lord Shiv
Is by worshipping the Shivling
The Shivling has to be bathed
With water, milk, curd, bel-patra,
honey, banana, and many more items
Once we bathe the Shivling,
We then wash it all with water
Make it all clean
And then we draw the Tripund,
The eyes of Lord Shiva and Om on it
And then wear new clothes to it
If we see or think about it with respect to life
Our relationships in life is about the same
We all come with our baggages and past experiences
But to be successful again this time
We have to cleanese the previous thoughts, ideas, validations
Take a bath and clean our conservations
Then we gotta take on the new thoughts and experiences
And build our new life with those
As brand new, with open hearts, and with smiles
I hope it works out well for us all
Just as it works out well for Shivling and Lord Shiva
He’s easy to please and we also can learn something from it
By being pleased easily and learning to let go of mistakes and ignorances
And being true to our own identity
Because Shivling is an identity in itself.

P.S. : If there was an award for positing once every 6 months, I would have a good chance to win it 😉 I hope 2024 has been awesome for you too 😀

Living in the heads

Darshith Badiyani actions, different, life, long nights, reality, shst, smiles here & smiles there , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

It’s not that the world is not big enough
Trust me, it is
Just look around
See others going about their day
Or travel to a new place
And see people living their lives
Someone’s fishing throughout the day
Someone’s selling food and gifts
Someone’s driving cabs
Everyone’s trying to earn a living
For themselves or their families
Such a kind gesture
But once they’re done with the day
And they meet their friends
Or maybe they’re alone and sit with a drink
Most of the time, they think of the missed chances
The regrets
The what-ifs
Things that just fell apart at the very end
Things for which they gave 100%
But it was not meant to be
Some people accept it as fate
Some people get traumatized
Some get depressed
But they all smile
The next day, they all go back to their respective work
The next day, they start living their lives
Unlike living in their heads during the nights
Just before they fall asleep

P.S. : Today’s song pick is Bade ache lagte hai. One of the many beautiful old Bollywood songs 🥰 Happy 2024 to everyone who reads this blog 🤟

Be brave, be selfish, be you!

Darshith Badiyani better you, darshith0000, darshithbadiyani, different, shast, shst, smiles, smiles here & smiles there , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Yo!
Me!
I am me!
Meet me!
Greet me!
I am a speck of dust
Yet, I am important
You know why?
Because I am alive
Because I exist
I breathe
I laugh
I smile
I cry
I express
I feel
It’s all important
For me because
That’s what makes me who I am
And I am awesome!
Got any doubts?
Please, don’t ask!
Do I care?
Yeah, damn, I don’t!
I love vulgar words
I love to express myself
I love to show who I am actually
I care for you
I like and love you
But you’re never a priority
Because my priority is me
It was difficult to digest it
Learn it
And, thankfully, I did!
I am everything, I know it!
I am grateful for all the things
The sun, the sky, the moon,
the flowers, people, family,
smiles here and smiles there,
hugs, stolen kisses, winks
All the things
But, all of those stop existing
If I stop to exist
If I don’t take care of myself
If I am not my own priority
I am grateful for these selfish thoughts
It has made me happy
It has given me time to invest on things I love
I am happy to be selfish if that makes me happy
Because smiles here, on my face, are important
So are yours, but first,
smiles here and then smiles there
If it is smiles there first,
then for you, it is too,
smiles here and smiles there,
So always the first person,
I, me, myself
I am grateful for such happy times

Be brave, be selfish, be you!

 

Last weekend I went on a #soloTrek to Shivagange and I loved it. You can tell I am selfish. The hell I care. I love to spend time with myself. If you don’t love/like to be alone, trust me, you’re boring. Start making your life an adventure. Do things you fear. I feared to go on a solo trek, I did it. I conquered it. I was 2640.3 feet above the ground, bare foot, scared, but moving forward. I have shared pics and videos of the place. Feel free to go to the place, if you’re near by Bangalore.

P.S.: One of the new songs which I like to listen to is What lovers do by Maroon5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The road less travelled
The peak to be conquered
The uphill
The caretaker
The view!
