A Realisation...

First of all, I would like to wish a very Happy and wonderful Holi to all the people. I wish this Holi gifts them with all the colors-colors of joy,colors of happiness,colors of love,colors of friendship and colors they wanna paint in their life. I wish God gives me the eyes of penetration as well as the color of strength to enjoy the inner beauty of this life.

Today I would also like to wish the colors of good luck to my sister,this is a very important day in her life. I pray God to give her all success she deserves and urge before the Almighty to help her focus on the bigger picture and inculcate a "Impossible is Nothing" attitude in her mind.

I feel like I am in a transition mode now. Though I don't know the reason,but I really wanna find the purpose of life. I want to see the inner beauty of this wonderful life. I want to discover,I want to explore the hidden mysteries. Though it may seem something sort of a joke to any individual of my age who is blindly pursuing text books to come out with flying colors in examinations,planning a hell lot of things to be pursued after the current course gets over,thinking about all the worldly pleasures of getting a job,money and having a family, but I see it as a cobweb. We were not born for this purpose. There has to be a wider meaning to life than mere passing of an examination,getting a job,getting married and having a family. For me,all these worldly goals are jokes.

We enjoy artificial things like movies,going to a pub and all these materialistic entertainment sources.But we have never tried to enjoy the eternal beauty of the trees,the rivers,the reflection of trees in waters,the ripples,the birds,their twittering. Have you ever wondered why? Maybe because we lack sensitivity. We don't care for anything except the so called purpose of our education- luxury or survival. We are never passionate about anything. We don't want to see the inward beauty. We term ourselves free but the fact is that we are bound. We are bound to this society,we are bound to this tradition,we are bound to our so-called well wishers like parents and relatives. Now the question arises why did I call the parents as so-called well wishers? The reason is-had they really been our true well wishers,they would never have forced us to get conformed to this society. They would never have wanted us to follow a safe path without revolting just to live in comfort thereby decaying our soul,our mind and everything else to follow.

They would not have chained us in this education system which aims at nothing except wearing us away.

Here the question is What are we doing with our lives? 99% of the people feel their ultimate job is to get a job and have a family. They never think beyond that and I know these things are not something that can be inculcated in a person. A person has to observe his own life,working of his mind,analysing the way he is letting his life to control him. To find the purpose of life,one has to explore the truth. If we search for answers,then we are trying to conclude at something which simply has no conclusion. We need to set out on a mission without even a single attempt to arrive at a conclusion. And this should be effortless. If I make an effort to enjoy the simplest things of life,then it is because I am bound. And until and unless I become free from the norms of the society,from the fear to please others or a fear for my future, I can never find what really life is.

I don't want to encase myself in the walls of my room. I want to go out,I want to see this world,want to feel life-even the simplest things are extraordinarily beautiful. I wish God gives me the passion and keeps the flame of this desire burning forever in my life.

Time and People

Haunting my mind are the questions

Which I never thought would cross one day;

The questions which have no answers

Or maybe the facts that are unquestionable.

Why do people change? Where has the empathy gone?

Shocking but true this fact cannot be undone.

I wonder-have times changed or people?

It's people with time and time with people.

Gone are the times when trust was the pivot;

Relationships hardly used to rot.

The world has become transitory,nevertheless;

Selfishness and jealousy have occupied the driver's place.

Beauty of a relation has been strangulated

The only pillar standing is of dishonesty and hatred.

People consider themselves to be supremacists

Ethics and morals,now, rarely exist.

God,save Thou Earth,save Thou children

Save this world from being loneliness-stricken.

Make 'em learn honesty is the key to succeed

Before this heaven turns into a hell of anguish and greed!

The "Resume-writing" Story

It was the first Communication Lab for the 4th semester today and as usual, my peers had already decided in their minds to bunk the lab and get engaged in all sorts of worthless activities. No one wanted to attend and those whose feet were slowly advancing towards the room consoled themselves by reiterating in their sub-conscious minds that the only thing they need to do is sign the attendance sheet and come back!But today was no respite for those. I could not realise what made them attend but that is not the question to be questioned. What mattered is that finally everyone attended, even though who were so loud in opposing that it seemed as if they are gonna launch a "World-wide Protest"(Our University is (in)famous for launching PROTESTS AND STRIKES).

The task for us was to write our own resume for some post we wanna apply before we enter the corporate sector and the thing that struck me most was the job-objective! For me, I guess,this was the most difficult as well as the most interesting question. I just wanted to find out what really are the job objectives of people. I could not find a single answer that satisfied my hunger and I was more than a cent percent sure that I won't find that would really make me respect that objective.

A person's dream shows where he is gonna stand after five years or say, ten years. It might sound absurd and completely weird at this point of time but it is a fact. Those who are not clear as what do they really want to achieve in life, what are they gonna achieve? Those are the people who flow with life.They accept whatever that comes to them and believe that nothing could have been better than that. I am still in search of a person who wants life to flow with him. Though it is generally said- Contentment lies in being happy with whatever you get from life, but for me contentment lies in making life give you whatever you want. That should be the spirit and attitude towards life. Whether you achieve your goal or not,that's destiny but certainly you can give it your best try!

The objectives that I came to know about were-" To work at an entry-level position in a public sector company"," To work in a company." Someone make me understand what do these really mean. How can one's aim be to work in a company? Suppose one says that he/she aspires to be an athlete. I guess,that's the most fundamental statement for a budding athlete to say that he/she wishes to be an athlete. One needs to set some goals in a particular field. When one says one wants to be No.1 in the world or maybe,win a Nobel Prize for one's works in a particular field,then it makes some sense. "I wanna work in a company" is just like getting an answer from a 5-year old. It lacks maturity as well as signifies low aim.

This is the reason for which we lack enthusiasts today. No one thinks anything beyond one's own survival or luxury. We don't have any place for passion today. The fire to do something different or achieve a feat,carving a niche for one self has extinguished. Everyone is ready to walk on the beaten path,how many of them really dare to create their own paths for others to follow or at least have the desire to do so? For me, life is all about living with passion for a purpose and daring to achieve something that will help you stand out in this competitive world of today.
