Struggle Of 2006

Contemplating 2006 as I near to the end, I feel important lessons of life were learnt. Every one has a tough life but for some it is harder and tougher than others. This life does not give retake to you as one would get at Hollywood!

Experienced that why people always worship the Rising Sun and not the Setting Sun! Help was also not free! Hence the saying Everything has a Price and There is nothing like free Lunch. Sometimes I wonder that whom should one trust in this world. And amazingly the whole world works on this simple word TRUST. Contemplate in your own space and search your feelings and you would get the answer.

Came to know who are my true friends, who are selfish and who are even not worth remembering during difficult times. Life at one point showed me failure, helplessness, debt, sadness, uncertainity in my future and worst of all distrust. Honesty Is The Best Policy, but only if it is towards the right person or worthy master!

Life is a wonderful experience and would love to enjoy and live it to the fullest, because no one has seen tomorrow! The same year gave me friends whom I will be ever so thankful for the moral support and courage they have given me in the darkest hours of my life. Mixed feelings of Frustration, Anger, Helplessness and Apprehension haunted my thoughts in the beginning of this year. But these 2 friends believed in me and were positive even then and are also today. God or Supreme Force does not throw anything at us which we cannot handle, this is what I have learnt! These friends helped me find my path, my own self-confidence and also the ability that I can fight this world on my own.

Father a word that means love, shelter, support, friend, warmth, protector, assurer and many more to me. He stood by me saying just one sentence -

I will be always there for you son, even if you are a failure or a success; I am your father and always will be!

I wish everyone should be blessed with the love of a father and no one should be left out, but in life there are cruel incidents and not everyone gets what they deserve.

Things did change during the middle of the year and ray of hope was felt when I got my work visa. But at that time more than me the 2 friends of mine where the happiest persons on the earth! Amazing is Love of Friendship! One of my good friend always says - "These Days Will Also Pass By"; and I could not argue much on that.

To Change is in the nature of Nature

Opportunity did knock at my door, offering me work purely on my merits and nothing else. Life is showing me the path of progress and experience is making me wiser and knowledgeable. A Smile stays on my face when I call my self, that in a way I have become, a Conservative Liberal. Two words who are antonyms of each other but describe the youth who is gaining wisdom within me.

Sometimes Life does not give us what we want easily, we have to struggle and make effort. Everyone knows that but not many of us implement that; hence only the experience of failure and the spirit of not giving into that failure, makes us wiser, confident and stronger to make another attempt towards success.

You would only know the true person within your friend only when you are in desperate need of his/her help. Try something new, ask for help to your most reliable friends and you would be surprised what you experience! A wiseman used to say

Never Trade Your Funeral Money For Someone's Wedding

There is ray of light at the end of this Dark Tunnel called 2006, but I am ever so thankful to Life and Almighty that without this experience I would have not learnt these lessons of life which I have learnt paying a very hefty price. Certainly one could say I am changed within my heart and mind! Priority of morals in my life has changed resulting in the wisdom and experience which I carry with me.

Making things light, would like to say that Live Life with complete awarness. Never for one minute doubt your inner-self as it is the voice that would never lie to you in any situation of life. Trust yourself more than others and believe within yourself.

Christmas - Gifts or God? Commercialization or Christ?

Christmas 2006 was wonderful. Enjoyed it at one of my mates place. The only time in the western world when families get together with love in their hearts for each other, that is what my little experience tells me.

Commercialisation was widely prevalent in cities rather than the spirit of the birth of Christ. Christmas is still a wonderful thing as it brings families and friends together even though they have been apart for a year. The positivity, kindness, joy and enjoyment is felt all over the place. The weather is cold and snow is always everyone's favourite on a Christmas Day!

People enjoy giving away over Christmas! It is an atmosphere which is immpossible to describe in vocabulary but only best felt and explained if one experiences it. Church holds Midnight Mass and Christmas Carols but very few prefer to go there. Families enjoys drinking Sherry or Wine when gathered on the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Not to forget the wonderful Father Christmas or Santa Clause as we all know him, is expected to bring gifts to kids. Hanging those wonderful stockings overnight and in the morning they are filled with gifts miraculously. But as we all know parents or guardians do it for the happiness of kids. In the morning when the kids open the gifts, the joy of happiness and innocent faces lit up filling the whole atmosphere in the home with joyousness.

People like to invite people who would be alone over Christmas. No one likes to spend Christmas on their own apart from Scrooge! Family and friends come closer discovering how much they love each other. Plenty of food is cooked including the traditional Turkey and the Christmas Pudding.

Good thing about Christmas in today's life is that it brings families and friends who love each other dearly and fills up their heart with the spirit of Joy and Happiness. I enjoyed Christmas and would love to enjoy it for the next coming years of my Life.

Hope - Even After The End

Hope as defined in dictionary is - "A wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation of its fulfillment."

Materialistic desires give birth to selfish hopes. People wanting to acheive their targets and goal become hopeful to be successful. Hope in all cases and situations is a neutral term which portrays positivity in the direction of the goal.

Staying hopeful even after the worst has struck you is like bringing a dead man back by giving him electric shocks on a hospital bed. But even described as another meaning - "Hope is an emotional belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances within one's personal life."

This leads me to believe that hope shows commitment, it shows a promise to one's own thoughts that there is a possibility of them coming true even against all odds. Hope in real life is seen at many junctures fighting with the logical and practical thoughts within the mind. Hope is a term that even if there would be nothing at all there will be hope. Hope from all living beings has gained such a momentum that its own existance is not seen through naked eyes but it previals and will exists even after all living beings are extinct.

Being hopeful can make you mentally weak and selfish, but contractdicting my own sentence it might make you mentally strong in helpless and severe circumstances. Desperation on the other hand serves like a traitor when imagined with Hope. At the same time Patience is a wiser and greater ally, if considered as a virtue and placed alongside Hope.

Hope also reminds me of a old saying which my Guru used to tell me inorder to motivate me. "These Days Will Also Pass By." It is just a simple sentence but has the essence of Hope in every word and space. It fills you with confidence, positivity, assertiveness and feeling of starting fresh when you are feeling low. And if one is at the peak of success, this sentence removes any ego, over confidence and self pride that would have made itself at home in one's mind.

Presence of good friends has always been there in my life. At times I have seen those same friends analyse their own problems in the most negative way as possible and loose all the hope. Being a neutral analyser, I could see how hope dies bit by bit when the series of incidences go against your good will. And being a good friend I have always given hope to my friends in difficult times.

Hope is even there after we have faced the death of a loved one, that I will see that loved one again. No one knows where, how and when, but love for that person does give birth to this feeling of Hope. Hence I believe Hope - Even After The End!

Open Invite 2 Friends, Acquaintances & Unknowns

Friends, Acquaintances and Unknowns

Feel free to send me your thoughts, weblinks or pictures to express yourself on this blog in any subject you wish. It would give me nothing but the pleasure of reading and knowing what you think.

So I will be waiting to hear from you!

Visit 2 Home Town

Home town sometimes hold some fond memories in everyone's mind. Certainly it does in mine. Those streets where we played cricket with neighbourhood friends. Those fights for just declaring me out when I wasn't. Peaceful places of contemplation and heart throbbing parties of schools and colleges.

Cherish friends who are always part of parcel that come with only that homely surroundings. Relaxation that comes by just breathing the air of hometown, eventhough, it is polluted by modernisation. But unmatched satisfaction that arises after drinking the water of your own home eventhough it has loads of mineral salts which are not good for you.

Such are the memories and feelings of home city. Your dad is proud and happy to see you and the priceless smile on his old face stays till you stay with him. Family friends notice that happiness and just ask you a dilemetic question - where will you settle, here or abroad? or Are you taking your parents alongwith you this time? Childhood bonding of love is such a thriving force in life that it would pull you back to your roots, where you belong, from any part of this whole world.

Friends are arranging dinnners for you, relatives just ask you which one of your favourite dish would you like to eat this time? And if you are lucky, your gran is preparing a treat of your favourite sweets. The shower of unconditional love makes you so drenched in love that hardly any sunshine or dryer can take that moist of love away from you.

Whenever I contemplate on my stay in my home city it reminds me of a Rose. A metaphor which I can say, that it gives its priceless and pleasant smell to every passing by person but if you try to take that rose away from its plant, there is a possible danger of getting hurt by its thorns.

Short lived sadness prevails in my mind of being back at my Karma Bhumi but the light of hope is there as always that glad would be my mind and heart to be back at my Matru Bhumi.

Freedom Of Speech - Bindas Bol

Expressing your self in terms of speech freely is lacking through out the world. People ashmed of talking about topics which are controversial. Saying a simple sorry or a gesture of forgiveness is also restrained by the barrier of ego. Everyone on this earth who has right to live has the freedom to talk and express freely but not many of us consider and implement this.

Bindas Bol is a place where, not only mine, but I would like to post everyone's expressions of their own thoughts in the purest and original form for the world to read.
