Those were the best days of my life


Those were the best days of my life...back in the summer of.....

The above mentioned lines of 'Summer of 69' are so true when I reminisce my 'Bachpan' (childhood). At 21, me is not old but still feel the deficient innocence in today's air.

Everybody around you has a personal agenda or some hidden motives and the worst part is that you know this fact. STILL!! just for the social acceptance sake, we neglect this raw fact...like so unconcern types...

Coming back to childhood; the time when we were innocent while playing ghar-ghar, poshampa-poshampa, ring-a-ring-a-roses and many other sports in which I could have won Gold medals (if only they were in Olympics).
THEN was the period, when guys were considered so cute that ladies kissing on cheeks was a normal affair. Roses were given and praises like “auntyji he is sho-sho-cute” use to welcome each market trip. Now, everything is changed. You are lonely, sitting alone, watching happy dreams with closed eyes, wishing them to be true for the open ones.

I recently had to make some visits to a hospital, due to some unfortunate circumstances. I met my childhood doctor there. The best part was that the doctor recognized me (even with a very heavy beard). All day along I was wandering about the fact, how could he recognize me....now, with a beard...then, a kid. Strange are the HUMANS, sometimes ones living near won't recognize you, sometimes people whom you never considered important can seem be important to you.

Isn't the answer lies in the fact that 'kids are remembered very easily'. If I ask myself a true question, out of the two who will have the greater probability of recognizing me – my KG teacher or my first year prof? The heart puts the latter one into the answer bracket...man!! those were best days of my life :(

That day I was watching the AIL commercial, in which a very cute kid helps an oldie to carry her load without any personal motives and inturn luckily, gets paid one penny for that. The well mannered kid reply in the cutest tone you must have heard in recent times “thank you aunty” (you gotta watch this). The kid then travels all by himself to his dad's workplace to give him his first earning....I don't see this happening in today's world (esp. in metros)?
Hope, you all will agree with me !!

The DAY that wasn't for me :(


The DAY that wasn't for me,


but sadly I had to face it :(


Nothing is good in life, and sometimes numerous unwanted pluggins are added to you leading to an abominable life. Owing to these incidents, the condition of the lonely mind is even more pathetic as it revolves at a very high speed in the search to find the answers.


Situations in which you can't help yourselves, the question arises what to do when you encounter them! Let them pass through, curse yourself, curse your luck, forget them or.........nothing can be done as you are Simply Helpless.

Some lines –
- What do you do when you miss your bus by a few footsteps after running 100 m,
- What happens when in your final practicals, you incidentally get the toughest thing to implement and you fail after reaching the last level because the machine on which you were working retarded,
- What happens when you get lowest in all marksheets,
- What happens when the examiner asks you all that stuff which you even haven't heard off but asks your peers nearby you the most easy answerable mechanical lollies,
.....What happens when things like these (above-mentioned) happen to you in one single day???


Laugh, I think thats the best option...but it seems a bit unpractical, fake and difficult to accomplish. But thats where, its imp to assess the difference between 'having a life' and 'living a life'. Life, by the way is a highly diplomatic term which my dictionary says is time gap b/t birth and death (it sounds like a class period controlled by a necessary condition i.e. you can't bunk this period once you enter).

By letting things pass through isn't the right way to appreciate your life...you have take the challenges, even if they rain upon you in mega quantities. Thats where the difference lies in 'having a life and 'living a life'. If you are given a brain, its your duty to think/stress your mind and come with solutions...but dunno think about their success and failure amidst the process of thinking...

The next step is how to think. Its a very simple process and also accounts as a major difference b/t humans and animals. But the point here is, what to think, since you have so many problems descending on you as an avalanche.

Start from thinking good (instead of thinking the remedies for the problems)...trust me it makes you happy and once the tones are set, the ideas become pragmatic and they start making sense...

NOTE: everything follows the 'law of equilibrium'...everything appears in 50-50 states...just the views needs to be changed!!

Well apart from thinking, you have alternatives like MUSIC (the best alter medicine), SLEEPING (seriously) and haa...commercials like the Reliance one...a very cute kid saying “thank you AUNTY” after earning a penny by helping her to share the load of her cosmetics. Apply this statement to neighboring girls n do notice their face, I bet all problems will hide from you (just a momentary hallucination) ...lol ;)
