Even I Want To....

 


Even I Want To Cry...
Even I Want To Smile...
Even I Want To Open Up...







Howling at 3 AM in the night; eyes full of tears; praying to God "Please give me sleep, Even I want to sleep. Please let me sleep...God, I have office at 9 AM in the morning, Please give me sleep."

All alone in the room, suddenly my past starts dancing in front of me and I am not able to sleep. One after the other the events are flashing. My heart is heavy as if 100 Kg of box has been kept on it, each moment I feel as if my little brain will come out of the head like a chicken popping out of the egg.
I feel like vomiting, rush towards the washbasin, coughing loudly...I come out, switch on the lights; stand in front of the mirror and look at myself. Eyes are swollen; hair are untidy and ....empty eyes gazing at myself. Room is fully lighted but I am not able to see even streak of it. I have no strength in me. Am I going to die?
I am looking for answers which will never get answered. This is one of the similar nights when there is no sleep in my eyes - just nothing, or is it something or is it everything.
Why this keeps happening to me. Why? Why ? Why?


[ Friends, this is the starting of the small story, I would be putting it across through different posts on my blog. The girl here is named Tanya - a girl of my story. She will be narrating everything in her own words. 
Look forward for your views. ]

Does our life depend on the movement of Moon/Stars/Sun?


We all have heard about astrology, sun signs, our stars, palmistry, our life being ruled by movement of Stars/Moon/Sun. I will not say if I have never believed all this. It will be a lie. I do believe. But, more then this, I believe in that super power which exists and which guides us to to do good in life for our own selves and to other beings. Also, I believe in myself, that who actually I am and can be to myself and to this world. I can make or break my life; by my thoughts, by my way of living the same.

Even today I do have, somewhere deep in the brains or in the heart,belief on this connection between what is happening in our lives and reason for which are these stars and astrology. But, for sure, there is a doubt now..Hmmm...let me try to recall some instances in my life and some in my friends' lives.
When I was a kiddoo, going to the school. As usual, not studying before hand and getting tensed a day before the exam. Sitting in front of the God, I used to pray "God, this time. Please save me. Pls...From next time, I swear, will study hard from day 1 and will not trouble you, Pls, God. Pls................." Big tears from my eyes used to melt my dear God and hence at the end I used to get good marks. Thanks to HIM!!!

One day, I heard one of my friends saying that when she was crying the other day before her exams; her brother explained her one simple thing - You are wasting your time by crying. You can use the same time to study and give your best. There will be situations in life when these tears will not be able to help you. You will have to be bold enough to face the world. And, Once, you are sure, that you have given your best, just say to God - "Hey God, I have tried my level best. Now. I leave on you. Please help me and do the best for me". I really liked this. Till date, I have been following this along with the on and off cries in front of the God. Things have worked and if they haven't worked, I thought, maybe it was not for me and God knew the best so I didn't get it and will surely get the best later.

Grew from childhood to teens to adult hood with this small funda of life, trying to look at the positive side of whatever was happening. Trying my level best to get the best, to do the best in each aspect of life, career, studies, family, friends....Always being optimistic of the things and keeping that smiling face always on....coz, whatever was happening was happening for a reason, so not to worry just keep giving your best....Many things happened in between. Let's skip the autobiography of myself.. :)))

Class 11th which decides what and how you will be moving in your life. I took PCMB which is considered to be one of the toughest selections. Took it, did well in boards but could not fulfill the dreams of seeing myself saving the lives of others. Went for Engineering, the next line which was never the plan; never dreamt to be one, but I graduated as an Electronics Engineer. Sometimes, I used to think, Somebody had rightly said --->"Whatever happens, happens for Good". Maybe I would not have been a good doctor and God knew this so, he took the right decision for me.

          Some more years of my life went in getting graduated, first job, post   
          graduation, 2008-09 recession time getting the job with the
          God's grace.  
          Finally landed up in my current company.

          Most of all this said above has happened with all of us. Some of my
          friends, faced some of the really bad times of life.  And being their   
          friend, I always kept saying that something really good is in store for
          you. If some body's love life was in a bad shape due to some or the
         other reason, my response in handling it was trying to look in future    
         and being optimistic and positive. I could talk to them for hours trying  
         to pull them out of all those negative thoughts and saying that If 
         something has to go, it will go;don't hold it as its not yours and all
         those fundas..which we keep liking on FB.


There are many more such instances which can be outlined...

Getting back to any common man's life(Man or a Woman). As part of the Sine Curve, sometimes, things are going too good. He is doing good in his career, personal life is rocking but one decision of the life brings the sine curve below and it goes even beyond the basement that it changes his/her life, his lifestyle, his thoughts, his way of looking at the things, his career, everything, his future....Why???
Even if he tries to come out of it, he is not able to. Does this Shani kee Sadesati concept exists??? That means, if some body's life has started to move down, it will keep moving down for years??? Why??? Why ??? Till the Moon or Sun God will not move from this position to the next position.
Why some body's patience is tested to the level that the person can breakdown? Is there any learning in actual in this process of Sine Curve of God? There are many such questions which keep coming in my mind, seeing and listening to my friends and hence the conflict to believe the belief which has been there always with me since childhood that whatever happens, happens for a reason and something better of the best in in store for myself and one day I will get my share of happiness; but here I want to ask if a person looses all the patience and his hopes of rising up one day, then what is this Better of the Best???

Today sitting on the terrace and looking at the moon makes me look back at my life and some of the lives of my friends, that does this movement of the star/moon/sun make a difference in any body's lives? Does God really exist and is he doing all this intentionally - Why - Because we have to follow the theme of the movie 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam'???
I agree with the lines that success is sweeter after all the struggle and success is more valued and you will understand what smile is etccc......................................................But............Why????

Vicious Cycle of Good and Bad!!!

 
Vicious Cycle of Good and Bad!!!
 
Saturday...Weekend Starts....Got up late, nobody else at home as all the family members are out of station for some or the other work. Household work, ready, breakfast done. Didn't feel like going out anywhere. Wanted to spend some time with myself, sleep, eat, read...Its almost afternoon and I thought why not read the newspaper...before I open my laptop and login on Facebook.
Normally, I read the editorial page of Times of India. Most of the time, the thoughts in the 'Speaking Tree' are good to read.
 
Today's article was also good. It was regarding the ten characteristics which a person should have for whatever reasons. For me the reason is to be happy and smiling at the end of the day.
So let's check out what those 10 characteristics are:
1. Earth/Patience.
2. Forgiveness
3. Control
4. Not to steal anything physically or mentally
5. Internal and External Cleanliness
6. Control over the Sensory and Motor Organs
7. Benevolent Intellect
8. Internal Assimilation of External Objectives
9. Truth
10. Non Anger
Had to read the article almost 3-4 times to understand it as per my way of living the life.
 


Many thoughts ran across while reading all this.
Is it possible and easy to have all the above 10 characteristics in this today's world, wherein we all are running around, competing against each other, fighting against ourselves and then our family and then our neighbors and then this world, wanting so many things and if we don't compete, fight, get angry, and so much more...., will it not be tough to live a family and a social life?? Will I actually get smile on my face if I have all this in me? Will I be able to live a easy personal and professional life????Or, all this is just for personal life and not professional? Does it mean, I should have two personalities?? Too many questions...
Ok, suppose if I follow and imbibe all the characteristics written above (by the way, I do have and good percentage of each of them.. :))) so to get 100% won't be tough)but what about others, they will still not be like this and hence, when I come across a person who is at 0% of not having all these characteristics and say I have 100% of all written above..What then?After all, I am a human being. I will be hurt, if I keep forgiving and the other person keeps hurting me. Some day, even my patience will loosen out and I will blast. Volcano is blasting finally. Right???Its like a vicious circle, Isn't it????
So, is it really possible?????
 
Fine, let's leave the humans.
Take the case of an iron.
Iron till the time, we don't do anything has lots n lots of patience. Does nothing. Simple. But,one day a very smart human being comes and he starts hitting this iron who has 100% level of patience in herself(Somewhat similar to the drunken husband beating his wife). But, our sweet little iron is quiet, saying nothing as it has the characteristic of having patience. But till when????? She has not been saying anything, forgiven him for hitting it once, twice, thrice and infinite no. of times. Now, she gets angry and breaks down, no more patience is left and either she gets converted to steel or is broken down into two pieces. Isn't it the case of diamonds made out of rocks and many more other examples which we all keep liking on the facebook to share the flexibility, strength, perseverance and what not...
 
So, somewhat like iron most of these dumb materials have all the above mentioned characteristic; if they can break down in extremes of the situation? What about we humans? We have emotions, we have brains to think, but still we break down..
 
Now, someone might say that we have brains to think and hearts to love. Awesome things given by the God Particle or by God or by DNA's or..... Let the smart people work on this.
 
Time to sleep and think if having even 50% level of each of the above characteristics is enough or complete 100% is required. Will I get my smiles at the end of the day?????
 
Poem by Laura Cummings summarises this. Link http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-vicious-cycle/
Some lines from her poem:
Whipped around, a vicious cycle
full of life and death, each vital to survival.
Giving up, making a new start, taking a chance on something new
Still making no sense at all, but perhaps it's not meant to.
Degrading, crushing, Encouraging, freeing
Compromise, age, learning to wait.
Life and death, each vital to survival.




I want this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
