Uncertainity – A Devilish Angel !!!

We all have been through a phase where we can not take an important decision due to confusion about its future consequences. These moments of confusion appear like hell to us. Whether we plan to the very core, drawing every detailed flowchart possible, we are still not sure about the future. And this stressful ambiguity drastically affects our present. 

In times like these, we wish that we could know our future. That we could predict what was gonna happen and make choices according to it. That knowing about our destiny beforehand will lead us to success. But, ask this question to yourself, will knowing the fate in advance actually prove to be useful ? I don’t think so.

The Ultimate Divine Power which created the universe and us, its puppets, built the specific rules of past, present and future for some specific reasons. Past is meant to be forgotten as it is just a black hole of negativity and futile efforts which will suck you to the depth from which no ladder could help you to come back up. Present is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest, because every single moment passing is turning into past which can not be changed or altered or granted back. Future, well, it was meant for hoping for the best but simultaneously being prepared for the worst. 

Now, coming back to my point, this uncertain future, which frustrates us so much, is meant to be unknown. Just imagine, what if you knew what will your birthday surprise was gonna be? Will you be that excited when you receive it ?What if you knew about your exam results ? Will you put efforts and hardwork if you already knew you were going to fail or pass ? All the zeal, excitement and energy, which are the icing on the cake of life, will vanish. And no one likes a plain, tasteless cake. 

The very essence of this life is elation, the frenzy fuzzy feeling you have in your stomach before something important is going to happen. The uphill-battle which we fight to achieve our goals makes our existence worthwhile. If this uncertainity about the future is substracted from us, then we would be nothing but walking corpses on the face of earth with no purpose of living whatsoever.

So, I want to say to all my readers, that uncertainity may seem to be a devil, but its that angel who fills your life with enthusiasm, energy and fieriness which makes us keen to live the life king-size. Without this uncertainity, we will be just like a talking, walking, eating, sleeping zombie. And nobody wants to be that😉

Therfore enjoy this uncertainity, live your life to the fullest, be happy, spread love and stay blessed 😊

What Is Life ?

Every philosophical text starts with a question – what is life ? And those texts have an answer mirroring to the author’s experiences and perceptions.

According to me, the answer to this question can never be subjective, universal, exact truth. Just like when we see ourselves in the lake, we see our own reflection, similarly, we answer this very common but deep question according to what we experience, what we feel and what we believe.

Everyone says, life begins in the womb. I think, life begins when our babbles turn into meaningful words, when our feet start touching the ground, when we start loving and hating, and most importantly, when our senses start feeling every touch, gaze, voice and emotion possibly existing in the whole universe.

To a child born with a silver spoon in its mouth, life is a mesmerizing merry-land where the whole universe does not have a single percentage of negativity. To a child who was born and brought-up on the road, life is a struggle-filled cobweb, with an unexpected catastrophe at every turn which challenges and applies the law of ‘survival of the fittest’.

I have always heard people saying that childhood is the most simple and happy period in anyone’s existence, without any complications, only embedding fun and frolic which is very true and believable. But just think, for a moment, about a child of a drunkard man who regularly beats his wife and the helpless child can do nothing but watch his mother’s wounds with tears in his eyes. Does that childhood looks as beautiful as this period is labelled to be ?

The second most generalized statement our ears are habitual of hearing is that, marriage means end of freedom and ‘fun-filled’ independent life. This too in some cases is right. But again, think about a prostitute, who was forced into this ruthless business, but who managed to elope with her lover, and finally her life-partner, slowly but steadily, healed all her mental wounds with love and care. Now does this marriage sounds miserable to you ?

We often hear our parents or grandparents saying that arranged marriages are better than love marriages. In many situations they are correct because they know better. But does this also apply to the marital rape victim whose love was snatched from her just to bind her with a beast who doesn’t even know how to respect the consent of a woman ?

We, the youth, always perceive that our parents are orthodox or backwards, who can never understand our lifestyle and challenges. Now, I can not disagree to this too. But what about those parents who supported their child’s dreams and wants, even  by going against the social norms ? Does this sound like orthodoxy ?

I can go on and on proving many such conceptions very shallow. There are thousands of exceptions, whether positive or negative. Do you know what all this contemplation brought me to ? Well, it brought me to a conclusion. It made me understand that nothing in this life has an exact definition. No one in this whole damn world has the power to confine life in a few words. Everyone just frames a definition and portray their own mind and call it life.

So, I just want to say to all my readers that never judge anyone’s way of living. You don’t know what they are going through. You can not define any situation or scenario of this life. Nor you can just force your perception on somebody and expect them to agree with it. Life is beautiful without judgement and generalization. Offer a helping hand and caring heart to everyone but if you can’t, then atleast do not judge and mock. Be happy, spread love and stay blessed !! 😊😊😘😘😇😇

Laapata..!!

Hello readers…this is my attempt at Hindi poem writing…do have a look and share your views 🙂 🙂

Mann laapata hona chahta hai,
Jheel ki lehron mein,
Raat ki meheron mein,
Bachpan ki chhuttiyon ki nehron mein.
Mann laapata hona chahta hai,
Baadlon ke garajne mein,
Boondon ke barasne mein,
Dhara ki pyaas bujhne mein.
Mann laapata hona chahta hai,
Sard hawaon mein,
Dhoop ki nigaahon mein,
Barf ki baahon mein.
Mann laapata hona chahta hai,
Patton ki sarsarahat mein,
Aandhi ki tez aahat mein,
Pedon ki ghabrahat mein.
Mann laapata hona chahta hai,
In sabhi khubsoorat palon mein,
Jeevan ke har mausam mein.
Mann laapata hona chahta hai.

Part-time Strangers..??

Friendship is something that we cherish till our last breath. But sometimes it can be very knotty. 

A friend of mine was very distraught as one of her close friends told her that they can talk only personally, where no familiar faces or in our Indian language, ‘Pehchaan wale’, were to be seen. That ‘so-called’ friend had just offered her a ‘part-time friendship’, where no one could ever know that they even know each other, let alone talk. 

Now, what do you all think this led to. My friend, that lovely soul, started thinking that she was doing something wrong. Why would anyone want to hide such a beautiful and precious thing as friendship ? This thought captured her mind in a never-ending cobweb of guilt and ambiguity. 

And what do I feel ? Well if a person is not confident or strong enough to accept you in front of everyone as a important and close fella, then he or she is not worthy to be given the title of ‘friend’. Friendship is a very pristine and wonderful connection between two souls. There is no need to cloud or veil it. 

So, all my amigos out there, there is no such thing as part-time friends as that will obviously mean that you will also be part-time strangers, and true friends can never act like strangers, whatever the situation may be. Don’t tolerate such gibberish and rubbish babble from anyone. Respect yourself and your amity, spread love, be happy and stay blessed..!! ☺️☺️

Dusk And Dawn…..A Beautiful Symbiosis!!!!!

The peaceful sunset, when the sky gradually lays down a blanket of serene darkness, preparing the sky for a sound sleep ; or the blissful and elated sunrise, when the sky glows with the hopes of new beginnings ; both the scenes are equally mesmerising. We actually can not decide which in the two is more alluring to look and feel. But have you ever thought why we can’t decide who in the two should win this beauty pageant?? Answer is simple – these two are perfectly co-existing soulmates. One can’t survive without it’s significant other. It’s a symbiosis.  

Our lives are also a chapel for wedding of the dark dusk and the well-lit dawn. Just like the sun rises like warrior after its battle with the black shadows, our glee rises after its battle with our gloom. And also without the misery, we can not value the joy. Every delightful dawn has a blue dusk. Happiness and sadness has to make it through together. Well, I know it’s difficult to endure the dynamic changes of these two. The mind is hopeful for the opportunity of the inauguration of dawn, while the heart sobs at the ending of it. But the key to outlive every struggle, is the companionship between the heart and the mind. 

Therefore, I would like to share my personal experience with all my readers, that joy and sadness both are the vital ingredients for the recipe of life. Enjoy both the tastes and excel in life. Be happy, spread love and stay blessed..!! ☺️☺️

Memories – The Mental Album

  
Hello to all my readers. Today I want all of us to take a trip to the moments which are gone, the stations which we have left since long.

Whenever we are alone, spending some ‘me’ time, or when we are in a crowd and see something or someone familiar, or at any second of 24/7, we sometimes get engulfed in the oceans of past – the memories. Whether good or bad, a slideshow of pictures from our mental album gets surfed by us. And ironically, we cry remembering the good times which will never come back and laugh at the ‘troubled me’ phase because we survived it. 

Just like many of us, I also sometimes find myself submerged in the waves of the past left behind. People, things and feelings which changed or vanished from my life. Among these, some changes are pleasurable, some are devastating, and sometimes the vanishing or end of these can also be good, but all of these experiences have one thing in common. They all taught me some of the very important lessons of life. All of them were educative. And the most important lessons that I learned from my past is that whatever happens, life goes on. 

While we said to someone that we can’t live without ‘them’, today many of us are surviving without many of ‘them’. We used to take some people for granted thinking they will never leave us and now many of them are not in our lives, and the worse part is, we couldn’t tell some of them how much they meant to us. Now we crave for just one chance to say to them that they are really important and we care for them. We thought that we will never get out of the troubles we are facing, but now many of us have already overcome that phase and living a successful life and the remaining have found the ways to get out of it. That’s the beauty of memories. Whether beautiful or ugly, they make us realise what we have achieved and what we have lost in our whole life in just few moments. They tell us that the train of life just stops for sometime at a particular station or phase, and then it moves on. It’s never stationary. But yes, that stoppage is very essential for all of us, as that is how we learn, we experience, we get matured and we improve. We learn that time will never stop for us and we should not take anything or anyone for granted, and just say and express what we feel at this exact moment when it is in our hands.

Today, I want to thank every people and situation that ever crossed my path of life, whether good or bad. The good ones I cherished, the bad ones, well I learned from them and improved. And also a big token of love to all those who are not in my life anymore and watching from the stars, I just want to say to them that I love them a lot and no one can replace them. They all will have a special place in my heart till the day I meet them at the stars itself.

So, today, I want to say to all my readers, whenever you find yourself in the deep forest of your memories, just look back at what you have achieved and what you have learned from the losses. And if you take this tour with this positive mindset, I assure you it will be one of the most beautiful trips you take. Spread love and stay blessed ☺️☺️
