Love the Fact You Are Alive

-

A soulful acoustic tribute to the little things that make life beautiful."Love the Fact You Are Alive" by Lalit Shastri invites you to slow down and celebrate the joy in everyday moments—with birdsong, street dogs, butterflies, and drifting clouds. Let it warm your heart.

"Love the Fact You Are Alive" is a heartfelt acoustic gem that celebrates life in its purest, most joyful form. With gentle strumming and warm, organic vocals, the song walks us through the beauty of ordinary moments—grass sprouting, birds singing, and a faithful street dog resting after a day's work. The lyrics carry the innocence of wonder and the depth of reflection, wrapped in a soothing melody that feels both personal and universal.

What stands out is the sincerity in voice—it doesn’t perform the words, it lives them. The musical arrangement supports the poetry gracefully, never overwhelming the listener, but allowing space for every image to bloom. The change to “clouds that drift and dreams that fly” fits seamlessly and adds an ethereal lift. It’s a song that makes you smile softly and breathe a little deeper.

This is not just a song—it’s a gentle reminder to pause, look around, and fall in love with life again.


Love the Fact You Are Alive



Love your blessings, love your days

Love the sunshine and morning haze

Love the fact that you're alive

Feel the joy just to survive


Love the sprouting blades of green

Pushing through where none have been

Love the crickets, beetles too

Humming life in shades of blue


Go gaga when the songbirds sing

When the streetlights blink and children swing

Find the magic in the sky

In clouds that drift and dreams that fly

Love the little things that thrive

Celebrate that you’re alive


Love the butterflies in flight

Painting air with wings so bright

Love the butter on your bread

Mornings soft and dreams well-fed


Love the rustle in the trees

The whispered hush of evening breeze

The little pup who guards your gate

Wags his tail and trusts in fate


See him sleep, a peaceful log

Dreaming deep after work so dogged

Sniffed the world, gave it his best

Now curled up, he's earned his rest


Go gaga when the songbirds sing

When the streetlights blink and children swing

Find the magic in the sky

In clouds that drift and dreams that fly

Love the little things that thrive

Celebrate that you’re alive


So love the moments big and small

The rise, the stumble, and the fall

Every breath’s a gift, a drive

To love the fact that you’re alive

A Call for Peace, Inclusion, and Sustainability on my Birthday

Lalit Shastri As a global society, we must strive for peaceful coexistence and embrace the spirit of inclusivity. Our shared future depends on our collective responsibility to protect the environment, preserve wildlife, and safeguard the delicate balance of our ecosystems, including our rivers and forests. It is time we shun violence, extremism, and division in all its forms, fostering unity over discord. We envision a socio-economic order where equity, transparency, and accountability reign, ensuring that skill and merit are valued over privilege, exploitation and denial of equal opportunity to all due to the quota or reservation system. Also, corruption has no place in a society where every individual is dedicated to the common good, working for the advancement of humanity and securing a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come.  Together, we can build a world where compassion, justice with fairness, and progress guide our actions—creating a legacy that honors bo...

Quantum Physics and Vedanta

  “Whenever I give a lecture on Quantum Physics, I feel as if I am talking on Vedanta!” – Hans Peter Dürr. Lalit Shastri The above quote by  Peter Dürr prompted me to explore deep and draw a comparison or draw an analogy between Quantum Physics and Vedanta. The idea that "matter doesn't exist" in quantum physics can be confusing because it challenges our everyday understanding of reality. Here's a simplified explanation: Classical vs. Quantum View Classical Physics: In the everyday world, we see objects as solid and well-defined. A chair, for instance, is a solid object with a clear location and shape. This is the classical view of matter. Quantum Physics: At the smallest scales, the rules of the universe behave very differently. Instead of being solid and fixed, particles (like electrons, protons, etc.) exist in a state of probabilities. They don't have definite locations or state until they are observed or measured. Key Concepts 1. Wave-Particle Duality : In qu...

Illegal sand mining threatens Gharial sanctuary

-
The Hindu Sunday, Oct 15, 2006 Lalit Shastri MORENA (M.P.): A 15-km stretch of sandy bank under the Chambal bridge on National Highway 3 connecting Madhya Pradesh with Rajasthan has remained an ideal breeding ground for the now endangered Gharial for millions of years, but now this endangered species that lays eggs in sand faces the threat of extinction due to biotic pressure and reckless illegal mining of sand. Driving on NH-3 from Morena as one comes closer to the Chambal bridge one finds that vast agricultural fields on both sides of the highway have been converted into a dumping ground for sand to be transported by trucks to far-off places in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, besides catering to demand nearer home. What comes as a major surprise here is that the picturesque Bhanpur Rest House overlooking the Chambal river has been taken over completely by the sand mining mafia and there goes on a never ending movement of tractor trolleys to dump the illegally mined sand within the S...
