Ramblings...

You can judge whats going on in a persons life by seeing his status in the social networking sites or in messengers.It ranges from deep personal introspection to celebration of india's victory in a cricket match.
I was looking into my recent statuses ...alas!!...man, they all have been gloomy and confused...ranging from "Life is impossibly Impossible" to "I hate my life" n etc....with this i began my introspection of life and mood of last few months.I was not one of the happy persons in these days.Let it be job dissatisfaction or some can rate it as pure over expectation from oneself.The end result was a unsettled mind and a person you wouldn't like to interact because of all the negative energies emitting from his persona.With this thought i came across another of my status which i used to keep when i recently came to pune .It stated "Who wants to live forever".It might look quite on the darker side of life but yet it had some inner light because of which i used to keep it in my happier times.
I was not cribbing abt my life and wanted a change, rather i was happy with all i have.It meant that i dont want a 100 years of life on this earth if i can manage some years with the quality of time i was spending.I had time to talk to my loved ones and to follow my interests and hobbies,most importantly the fear of future and worries of my career was not looming in my head.But what happened that i had these sudden transformation in my thoughts.How come a man with so much life became so unhappy with himself?
Well i wont tell you how it happened and what caused it but this weekend something happened and maybe i found the answer to all the confusion and frustration that was creeping inside me.
Man is a funny person ,he wants his life to be picture perfect and when he gets somewhat close to it his expectations with life increases.Its good to have expectations as it gives oneself his AIM and maybe ones reason to live.But the most important thing is patience which i was lacking.You don't have to be in control of all the things happening in your life coz some things are just out of control.Just do your KARMA and have faith in god,things might fall the way you have expected,it might take time but it will.The most important thing is celebrate life.Celebrate each and every moment.One wouldn't spoil the present thinking about future.I hope all my statuses from now on will he happy celebrating all the beautiful things that have happened during the day rather cribbing about what went wrong.
Live life to the fullest coz there mite not be another!!!and here im back to one of my old status"Who wants to live forever"

Don't Disgrace the Gods

Some believe it, some don't.some say they have seen it some even go to an extent to call it as a gimmick. No body has seen god but everybody has a different opinion to the almighty, if he is.
In my opinion most of us(especially Indians) wont deny from the fact that we have seen god incarnated in flesh and bone , walking the grounds and entertaining the millions that galore.
I am talking about none other than our little master, the golden boy who walked out in his first test match against Pakistan and from then onwards it has been a journey transforming him from a mumbaikar to a player feared by all his opponents. no body thought this little genius will bring a revolution in India more revolutionary than the green revolution itself, changing the face of Indian and for that matter world cricket.
He has transformed cricket to a religion which binds all of the Indians and for one moment we forget we have been brought up which father, under which roof. What matters is the desire to win and all of the nation for once consider itself as Indians and not as Muslims ,Hindus,Gujjars or Meenas,the feeling of unity is unpreceedent.Unity which even Mahatma Gandhi couldn't impart can be seen in a 7 hr game.
well i'm not writing this as another souvenir or another article on the little genius praising his accolades and achievements. My heart bleeds and its been a matter of disgrace that these sports persons(let it be ganguly or dravid) who have taken the sport to an unprecedented glory are now the victims of the acrimonious views of the much educated people to decide what should be the fate of these gods. Those who have unified each and every Indian under one roof are now on the mercy of the ones who once worshiped the same people for years and would die to get a glimpse of them.A paradox yet true.
In the process of proclaiming these people as gods we forget one fact that they themselves are made of bones and flesh, no one is immortal and hence aging is an inevitable process. I do agree that their form is not as good as it used to be when they ruled the world but lets not make a mockery of our believes and their contribution. These people at least deserve a better adieu then a forced expulsion or more like an IT firing.
Lets pay respect for these people who sacrificed their lives ,their families just that we can see Indian flag up above among the other nations soaring to glory. Lets leave to them when do they want to call quit ,let them cherish whatever cricket is left in them ,so that they are proud of serving us and don't end regretting .We just cant make castles on the grave of others that too of people who have contributed their body and soul for the better cause. Lets make it a point that we don't disgrace the gods , so the gods are smiling always upon us and maybe contributing after their retirement in the form of being Indian coach or as mentors of the future generation.
