pain : feel it

It’s okay to feel pain sometimes. After all pain is what makes you strong, pain is what makes you get going. Sometimes pain is just the biggest strength you have but if you try to run from this pain, it would be the force which will bring you down. As no matter how far you run, sooner or later, it will catch you. Further you run, more you lose. So it’s better to let yourself completely into it, so that you could later say, "Oh, that just hurt a bit, but then I got over it".
The day you could tell yourself this, you would emerge as a leader and then no pain could stop you. So we should stop complaining about our pain or factors which caused that pain. Just be ready to tackle every emotion of your heart and then you could rule your heart and happiness would be truly yours.

binding close or growing apart

It’s strange how time changes every other thing in life. People who were very close to us once could become a thing of distant memory and even if we meet them or talk to them, there is hardly much to talk. We all have and had friends we share great chemistry with, could spend many hours, day after day, with. But if you meet him or her after 5 or 6 years, would sharing be same comfort zone? No, you wouldn’t, but you would soon run out of topics to talk with them, and then to remember that they are the same people with whom time always used to fly away. But then the fault is all ours. After so many promises of staying in contact, we do loose contact.
Maybe it’s this age, our generation thing because I see old people meeting after so many years and having so much to share. But that’s because they have lived in an era when there was no electronic media, no internet, no mobile phones. They have lived in a time when it was possible to meet someone once in a few years and still be comfortable with them, an era where letters were more important than many things. Now the only letters I have received till now were my admit cards for competitive exams, and that too are going via internet now. The illusion of binding the world together via modern equipments has actually made us grow apart. It happened to me, and I am sure it has happened to almost all of us.

Peace: at our doorsteps, but no one opens the door

Peace is at our doorsteps, but no one opens the door as we are busy making a new door for it to come, but wouldn't that be too late.
When someone dies, we pray to god to give peace to his or her soul. But why don’t we pray or try to find peace in this life only. If we give it a thought, then this is very much what our heart truly desire. All our life we work, pray, desire to achieve things, to have a bigger home, more expensive clothes, better cars. But has it ever occurred to anyone that we are approaching it the wrong way. We are always asking for more and more with a hope to find happiness in this. But how could we find something which is not there. When no one is even satisfied with what they had in life, how can they be happy? Here I am not saying to stop dreaming, or stop achieving it with work. All I think is that don’t get too obsessed with it and loose what you actually have.
Only if we could ask for peace for our heart, peace for our mind, it would automatically generate happiness. Peace and satisfaction could do wonders to us. But alas! If men was so simple, if society was so thoughtful. Our society doesn’t judge us by how happy we look, how satisfied we are. They judge us by how rich we are, how good looking we are, how richly do we dress, what materialistic things have we achieved in our life and sadly, that’s how society works. They judge a book by its cover and not the content.

Equality

Here's a thought for today, "Equality", a single simple word with a simple yet sometimes unreachable meaning. People sometimes failed to treat their own two sons equally, so what could we expect from the real world. But what we fail to realize many times is that whenever this equality i am bragging about is absent, it weakens the system.
I could give my own example. When i was 3 or something( i don't really remember the exact age), i started thinking that my right leg is better than my left leg. That was an unexplained childish act, without any reason i remember. Now i simply consider that as an absurd assumption by me. But back then, it was a part of my beliefs. The result was that i always use to walk with my right leg followed by my left leg. That was also the time i started rope skipping, so without even knowing, i used to skip with my right leg followed by my left leg. But traditionally in rope skipping your both legs should be in sink jumping off the rope together. I realized that this right left thing is absurd after a year or two but i realized my flaw in skipping some more years after that and till now it had become a habit. As a result, till now i skip in a way it is not meant to be.
So absence of equality makes you loose some things.

thousand splendid suns

read "thousand splendid suns" recently and i loved it.A story about two women, women of afganistan. It forced me to think about how the world had neglected them, their own people bulllied them yet they lived, for their parents, for their children and their land too. The same land where they suffer through tremendous turmoil. The book showed how life of common people become worse in war time. There are two women in this story. Thou they are broughtup in different scenarios but in both the cases, their life start with dreams and hopes which are different from each other and yet somehow same as both are longing for love and time of people they love so much. But when reality struck, both lives are left with miseries with no fault of their own. Whats "splendid" is their hope, their struggle, their attitude towards life which doesn't let them give in. And that makes this story so gripping. One of the reason i liked this story so much maybe the fact that i always read a story from my heart not from my brain and the issue of women sufferings is very close to my heart. There was a time while reading, when i thought, "Oh! please make their miseries stop". When i read their problems, our own so called BIG problems of not having a good enough job, money and looks seems to be irrelevant.
Now changing political conditions of the country and international communities are finally improving their life. I hope that their life leads to a better future.

Finally here

have been thinking about writing a blog for a long time but i was too lazy to start and too shy to share. Finally i decided to start today. Actually i had a love for reading since i was a little kid learning to read. This eventually lead me to writing too but i was always too shy to share my poems and articles with anyone. Then class 10 happened and i stopped writing. there is nothing in my life that i regret more. But now finally i have decided to start again and this time on a platform where i could share my thoughts. Now lets see for how long could i maintain this writing.
