Grown Up, Unfortunately

Grown Up, Unfortunately

Time does heel everything or does it? Remember the times when all you got to worry about was, tying your shoelaces and to clear a certain level in a video game console. Where has the time flown by, is the most general question and I assure you even Stephen Hawking don’t know the answer to it.

Filled with anger, remorse and agitation now, one may easily make out that “yes, once I was a child ….just once”. The kingdom of independence or in more simple terms, ‘childhood’ which has been long forgotten, forfeited and demolished was everything, that each of us had, JUST ONCE.

The stories used to start with ‘Once upon a time’ and end with ‘happily ever after’ and still that was enough torture for the day. Taking time out from the ‘busy schedule’ for even a meal was a difficult task but our mothers were ‘kind’ enough to make us sit and finish the vegetables forcefully on the plate. Though my mother never knew where the food was going. The dustbin holds the secret to this question!

However, lives have become much more serious than ‘breaking a flower vase and dreading as to what would happen next’? We have finally understood the concept of ‘everything happens for a reason’ which was undoubtedly a void concept in the earlier days. Maybe now maturity holds much more importance than guileless-ness.

Congratulations! We have become adults and thank goodness, we would never be able to experience the ‘times past’. Let us keep basking in the nostalgic thoughts which have already proved and will keep on proving that one always cherishes looking back into time, not just ‘time’, the ‘best time’.

It takes SOMETHING, to be that SOMEONE...

To be ‘a someone’, is actually not a bad place to be in. You can do things that you have never thought of doing, and even if you did not succeed, no one would care about your casualty. Probably, you have to keep trying until either: · You are good at it, or · You are just bored of it. ‘To do’ is to observe; ‘to observe’ is to understand and ‘to understand’ is to take one step ahead! Keep moving until you reach a road with no footprints on it. You will surely think of making that U-turn… but No, you have to be positive. But, WHAT IF a wolf kills you ahead; WHAT IF a car hits you; WHAT IF you die! You could be that someone. So, keep moving until you reach a road with no footprints on ...

It is good to cry

Sometimes I wonder as to what is it that we really want? - Is it Money? - Or, is it Recognition? - Or, is it something more than that? We were told that howsoever bad situations may become, it will all end sometime, someday. Maybe it is just about to end, you never know! Why are we working so hard? Why is it that you are reading this? Why is it that people love to hear from someone they admire? Why are we doing things? Everybody knows that they WILL die, then “why so serious”? Am I the only one who cares about my future and my ‘potential’ family, which I have no idea of at this juncture? It is fairly possible that humans were coded to be an ‘animal’ (like a dog) to their master. A human-dog that is capable of depicting sense and emotion and care for its future. Though, we successfully evolved (from a dog) into a human. But you know, a dog remains a dog! I think that humans, today, are still faithful to their respec...

You are the Change

John’s mother asks him as to where did he get his expensive shoes from? John had shoplifted that day. However, he tells her mother that a friend gifted him those. Mother somehow guessed that John has stolen the pair and tells him that she knows the truth and that he may fool the world but not himself… Nice story with a certain moral value. It is not John’s mother, but John himself who is being fooled, maybe not now but in his future endeavors. Why this story is important? ... Because I believe we all become John for one or the other thing in life, many a times. But what is worse is that most of us do not know that! Nichiren Daishonin , a form of Buddhist practice focuses on the law of action and it consequences. According to their belief, it is only our actions or in-actions that are responsible for the consequences in life and they believe in it with full heart and passion. However, one’s perception of an ideal future, that he wants to see in the world, is amazingly diffe...
