FUTURE

A Planner at your Table, your Mobile Phone alarming a Reminder, your Future plans in your Executive Diary, your “Things To Do” list. What are all these? Are we really living our life or we are just doing things which are already planned. Life is all about experiences and facing the surprises that are packed for us but we are spoiling this essence of life by planning what we have to do in future.
If we know or we just do the things that are scheduled for us in our planner then I guess we are not really living our life. Have you ever lived a day without knowing what you have to do the next moment? I guess most of you have not. We all have become addicted to our schedules and we do what is to be done as per our plans.
Now let me be more practical, what if you know you have to go for a date tomorrow and it is in your planner, due to some reasons it gets cancelled. How do you feel? Obviously you do not feel good but don’t you find yourself in a very uncomfortable situation of what to do in that time which you planned for a date.
Planning our tomorrow is more like knowing our future and when we know our future, our present becomes past and we can’t live in the past. Take a walk on the beach where breeze blows against you calming your soul. It should not be planned. Be there as long as you want not as long as you plan. Feel the nature, feel the life that is inside you, and feel your own self.
Look in the eyes of a child, they shine like a Pearl, a child is the happiest soul on this Earth because he does what he wants to and does not have any plans for them. A child always has a charm, a glow on his face, he is so carefree. Then this charm vanishes away as child grows up. This world begins to threaten him with the things that may happen tomorrow.
Our Life is like a Pandora Box and we do not know what is there for us in it. Why do we try to peep into it before its time for it open? “Do not cry over past, Do not worry about Future, Live in the Present.” Life is not just about getting up on time, going on our jobs, getting our meals on time and doing things as per plans. Do not try to tame the Life; it is not a worthy pet.
Life is all about living and living passionately without trying to know what is there for us at next step. As it is said that: “Take Time To Live, Life Has So Much To Give.”

CHILD

EACH OF US WAS A CHILD IN OUR LIFE. CHILDREN ARE THE BEST AND HAPPIEST FORMS OF THE HUMAN LIFE. EVERYONE LOVES THEM, EVERYONE CARES FOR THEM, THEY ARE ALWAYS HAPPY, THEY DONT HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SOCIETAL NORMS, HAVE NO FEAR, DO WHAT THEY WANT, ARE PURE, DONT LIE.
A HUMAN IS NOT A CHILD BY HIS AGE RATHER BY HIS HEART AND SOUL. EVERYONE HAS A CHILD INSIDE HIM/HER. SOME ARE ABLE TO KEEP THIS CHILD ALIVE THROUGH OUT THEIR LIFE BUT SOME SEE THIS CHILD DYING DURING THEIR LIFE. THERE IS NO DEFINED TIME AS WHEN THIS CHILD DIES, IT MIGHT BE VERY EARLY, VERY LATE OR NEVER. LIVING WITH THIS CHILD THROUGHT THE LIFE MAKES LIFE VERY SIMPLE AND HAPPY. THERE IS ALWAYS AN EXCITEMENT WHILE LIVING WITH THIS CHILD. BUT WHEN WE SEE THIS CHILD DYING IT HURTS, IT HURTS A LOT. WE FEEL THE SAME AS WHEN WE SEE ANY OTHER CHILD DYING IN FRONT OF OUR EYES, IT PAINS. I CANT SAY ABOUT EVERYONE BUT MOST OF US DO EXPERIENCE THE FEELING AND ARE ABLE TO IDENTIFY IT. IT’S THIS TIME WHEN YOU ARE IN THE NO MAN'S LAND. NEITHER YOU ARE A CHILD NOR GROWN UP. WE AT THAT TIME RESONATE BETWEEN THE TWO PERSONALITIES. DYING OF THIS CHILD IS NOT SOMETHING THAT FINISHES WITH A FLASH IT TAKES VERY LONG. YOU ACTUALLY LIVE FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD IN THE NO MAN'S LAND. SOMETIMES, WHEN IN THIS LAND YOU BECOME HAPPY AND CHILD IN YOU WAKES UP BUT OTHER TIMES THAT BLEEDING CHILD IS SLEEPING AND YOU ARE A GROWN UP.
I DONT SAY THAT GROWING UP IS A NEGATIVE PHENOMENON BUT THE DEATH OF CHILD IN US IS VERY NEGATIVE THING BECAUSE OUR CHILD IS WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS, IT IS OUR IDENTITY. WHEN WE START GETTING MECHANICAL AND ACT AS PER THE NORMS AND REQUIREMNETS OF THIS SO CALLED CIVILISED SOCIETY WE LOOSE OUR ORIGINALITY. WHY IS IT ALWAYS SAID THAT EVERY CHILD IS SPECIAL WHY NOT EVERY GROWN UP IS SPECIAL. WE SAY THAT ALL CHILDREN ARE SAME, BUT IF WE SEE THEN ALL CHILDREN ARE IN SAME STATE RATHER THAN BEING SAME. EACH CHILD IS UNIQUE. ON CONTRARY THE MATURE AND GROWN UPS ARE ALL SAME BECAUSE THEY BEHAVE IN THE SAME EXPECTED WAYS, THEY LIVE BY THE RULES, THEY WORRY MORE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT THEM.A GROWN UP IS JEALOUS SEEING OTHERS HAPPY BUT A CHILD IS HAPPY IF HE/SHE SEES SOMEONE ELSE HAPPY. THE GROWN UPS ARE HAPPY IF SOMEONE IS IN PAIN BUT CHILD IS QUITE SAD IF HE/SHE SEES A SAD FACE. THE GROWN UPS ALWAYS PLAN THEIR FUTURE AND IN THIS THEY FORGET THEIR PRESENT AND LATER REGRET ABOUT THE PAST BUT CHILDREN DONT THINK ABOUT FUTURE AND JUST LIVE THEIR PRESENT THAT EVENTUALLY MAKE THEIR FUTURE FULL OF HAPPINESS.
WHY DONT WE REALISE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS CHILD IN US. WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY EVOLVING TOWARDS THE HUMANS WHO ARE KILLNG THIS CHILD IN THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WE TELL KIDS TO DO WELL AT STUDIES SO AS TO BECOME DOCTORS, ENGINEERS, LAWYERS, MANAGERS ETC. WE ARE SNATCHING THEIR RIGHT OF BEING A CHILD FROM THEM. WHY DONT WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT’S THIS CHILD IN US WHO WILL KEEP US HAPPY AND OURSELF. SO ALWAYS TRY TO KEEP THE CHILD THAT YOU WERE BORN WITH. YOU CAME WITH THAT CHILD IN THIS WORLD AND WHEN YOU GO BACK FROM THIS WORLD GO WITH THAT CHILD THEN ONLY YOU WILL FEEL COMPLETE.
AND AT LAST JUST TO KEEP YOU THINKING, WHICH ONE OF THE TWO WOULD YOU SAY IS A BETTER WAY TO LIVE – BEING A CHILD WITH A MAN INSIDE OR BEING A MAN WITH A CHILD INSIDE?

Why we miss them

Just less than 3months and i am missing those moments , those friends, those days n nights with friends as if some one is suffocating in the absence of pure air. The more I think about those days the more weak i become. Thoughts of not getting that same time in future makes me shiver, makes me afraid and moists my eyes. Sitting alone in my room in one of the top notch B-School in country, I am alone, just looking the old memories on my laptop saved in the form of photographs. Some of them have flown to distant lands which are still aur dreamlands, some have got busy with jobs, others doing further education in diverse fields. But no one is happy, everyone wants to get back to the same place with same people. Everyone tries to keep oneself busy so that past doesnt flash back in front of their eyes leaving just tears in the eyes and memories on the mind.
Why do we always have to part our ways from those whom we really love!!!!! What hurts the most is being so close.
For all those who made my graduation a fun, a lesson, a fairy tale and above all those who are the gems of my life, i pray , i pray from the depth of my Heart with purest of feelings, May God Bless you all and what i want is just that once again WE ALL ARE TOGETHER.
i cant write no more else i am gonna burst out............................................ MISS U GUYS
