Change is inevitable!


Human is a classified creature, at least that’s what has been told by our peers. An invisible soul and a body is said to be ‘Priceless Gift’. It’s a different story if one looks around the world; it’s a metaphor of a charity handout rather than a blessing

One of Human’s built-in feature is its ability to either adopt a change, or resist it. Change, either accepting it or resisting it, is rather a subject of its intellectual and thought process

World is populated more than 6 billion people. Ironically, the people who actually made use of this gift and be counted on fingers.

Look at the example of Newton and his story of apple, which not changed his life, but eventually the humanity. Similarly, the story of Fleming, Einstein and so many other scientists who are the father of this modern ‘Digital’ world

But if one looks closely, all of them had one thing common; those were ordinary personnel and they never thought themselves to be extra ordinary. Only thing they had was their passion to learn, instigate and probe. In their mind, they had no religious or moral boundaries. All they needed was breathing space to express themselves. All of them knew that they ‘know something’ which was keeping them restless. For that ‘Something’, they changed themselves to every possible levels and sacrificed rest of their humanly desires.

Its raises one serious question, after working that hard and sacrificing everything, what did they get? What happiness did discovery of ‘Atom/virus/bacteria’ bring in their lives and to their families? Actually, they got most important thing, they satisfied their conscious of being human.

Unfortunately, there is not road-map of excellence. There are no easy signals in our lives to interpret our direction. All a soul has got is a body and its senses. Its up to a human to decode itself and Be what it is borned for. One has to believe in itself that it has something that differentiates its existence either by being a scientist, a cleric, a musician, a teacher, an athlete, a writer, a poet and list goes on

To unfold itself, all one has to do is to induce a change, because change is inevitable!

One important attribute of God I believe in is HE is not biased. He blesses one who seeks regardless of their believes. Whatever harms a human do to itself, it is always blessed with HIS never ending love. Efforts of those great people made significant difference for their fellow humans. For this reason, God has made them Immortal. Even though, they have died, they have given back their body and soul, but they are still alive in books and people discuss them from generations to generations and remember them in good memories

Love is a Feeling... Or is it?

I was reading a book of my favorite writer and found something that was more then interesting.....It sounded a lot more convincing and I totally agree with it.....

‎"At one seminar where I was speaking on the concept of proactivity, a man came up and said, “Stephan, I like what you’re saying. But every situation is so different. Look at my marriage. I’m really worried. My wife and I just don’t have the same feelings for each other we used to have. I guess I just don’t love her anymore and she doesn’t love me. What can I do?”

“The feeling isn’t there anymore?”, I asked.

“That’s right,”, he reaffirmed, “And we have three children we’re really concerned about. What do you suggest?”

“Love her,” I replied.

“I told you, the feeling isn’t there anymore.”

“Love her”

“You don’t understand. The feeling of love just isn’t there”

“Then love her. If the feeling isn’t there, that’s a good reason to love her.”

“But how do you love when you don’t love?”

“My friend, love is a verb. Love- the feeling – is a fruit of love, the verb. So love here. Serve her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?”

In the great literature of all progressive societies, love is a verb. Reactive people make it a feeling. They’re driven by feeling. Hollywood has generally scripted us to believe that we are not responsible, that we are a product of our feelings. But the Hollywood script does not describe the reality. If our feelings control over actions, it is because we have abdicated our responsibilities and empowered them to do so."....(Stephen Covey)

My Weekend!

Its Friday Today, The Weekend.

I'd imagine to get up with smile on my face. Open the Window and let the fresh air come in. Outside the window, I'd love to have a view of lush green Garden, with sings of dew reminiscent of diamonds, and sky been covered with Black Clouds....

Well, Its not what happened...:(

My Room temperature was touching almost 0 c and because of Flu i was finding it really difficult to breath. i was under protection of Fool proof security, My Bed Sheet. My blanket was right under my bed. How did it get there, i still have to figure out. I am a kind of person who is tight on his schedule. I normally get up before 4:30 am and don't want to miss my morning Prayer. But, when i got up and looked my mobile for time, it was almost 6 am. I was totally embarrassed. Before i could waste further time, i got up and turned off my AC.

As soon as i took a couple of steps towards wash room, i felt terrible abdominal pain but i continued like a determined soldier, fighting for whole humanity. Then in washroom, it was a total catastrophe which i cannot even describe. With the pain all over my body, i was sitting on commode with sleepy mind and was telling myself that 'Its not my day Today...'. But with all this things happening, i had a Feeling that i am 'Happy'.

It was absolute strange to be Happy, actually there was no reason to be happy. I was laughing loud for absolutely no reason. Rather then being sad and seeking medical attention, i was enjoying the moment like a lunatic. Courtesy my medicines, which were having effect on my brain and heart beat

I wanted to go out and do strange things, like ring and door bells of neighbors and run away, Turn on TV on such a loud volume that will make my friends sleeping next room, miserable. God, I am happy i controlled myself otherwise i would have been deposited in Psychiatric Facility by now..

By the way, things didn't get any better for me and the predictions i had on commode were true, it wasn't my day AT ALL!. On the other side, i was doing odd stuff, trying to cook , making fun of my friends, and blah blah

On Cricket match, I did what i wanted to do. When i was bowling, i was hit for sixes, when i was batting i wanted to discover new shots and as expected, got out soon. My Captain observed these DRASTIC changes and soon my role was as big as of a water boy in next matches. I was still happy no shame what so ever though i pretended to be serious. Even if i don't bowl and bat, they still can't deny me to do the fielding. All I could do was to field well to restore some dignity

I was patrolling the On side. I remember a powerful shot was driven towards me and had to run hard to cover it. After running hard and covering the distance, just before the ball could kiss my palms, it hit by a brick on the way and ball started to run on total opposite direction....:(. Then, i had to run on total opposite direction to save 4 runs which i did. And when i threw the ball back to the bowler, they already had sneaked 5 runs...:(

Wise People say that if you work hard with sincerity, you are finally paid off. I was working hard on the field. Then there was a moment, when a guy hit the ball in the air on very delicate situation of the final match. I am good in catching. It was high in the air, i got underneath it and DROPPED IT...:(. The Bowler utter some Punjabi words in anger which i cannot share. But, I was happy and totally ignored him. Also, So much for the lies of wise People...:P

For the Whole day i have been a silent observer of myself. So many things happened today that could have annoyed me in normal circumstances.  I must confess i was also enjoying. I often talk to myself to get me out of depression and enjoy the life, let the bad memories go, make new ones. Today, it was total me, getting out of my nutshell, expressing myself, doing and saying everything i want (whether people like it or not, it didn't matter to me) without having to think about consequences. I am not sure how long the effect of that medicine will last, but God, it felt so good...



Can't be a better Weekend!
