MY PASSION....MY LIFE...MY FIRST LOVE....

Writing is not a duty for me,

Writing is my passion which drives me,

Writing is my friend which talks to me when I am lonely,

Writing is my mother when I can’t solve an issue,

Writing is the diamond which bejeweled my words,

Writing is the agony which my heart pours out,

Writing is the pain which my heart feels within,

Writing brings a smile on to my face,

Writing wipes a tear dry form my life’s surface,

Writing is the fuel which runs my life,

Writing makes me feel wanted,

Writing makes me feel alive and awake,

Its not words but life which gets woven into beautiful sentences,

The truth which was not told is thus expressed..     Maya, celebrating life)

Understand...to be understood!!!!

Hmmm...Sounds a little difficult yet let’s try it? Have you ever felt that you’re a bit of your patience listening or understanding would have kept your world far happier and peaceful? If yes then that yourself for you have introspected into the darkest corner of you which is never out in the open, each one of us Donne a personality which derived itself from the word “persona” which means a mask...thereby looking at it we all regret about either a small or a big situation which could be under control had we just understood. Since childhood everyone nurtures various thoughts about their future and themselves, their life partners, their lifestyle etc the constant pressure from parents to pick a socially accepted career leads to a lot of pain among the youngsters.  Why this way? Why do we have people running away and getting married? Are they taught the same thing at home? Then immediately we get an answer “NO”. Then why all this, and simply the reply comes because all of us want to be “understood” and none want to “understand”!!!!!.

                          What is wrong in a child liking a classmate of his, researchers tell it’s abnormal if the child does not get such feeling because these responses and reactions suggest the child’s health is normal. We have to learn to “nurture” the seed before we leave it to grow and blossom. What is wrong in a child liking a classmate of his/her age? Researchers tell it’s abnormal if the child does not get such feeling because these responses and reactions suggest the child’s health is normal. We have to learn to “nurture” the seed before we leave it to nature. All of us can be good gardeners if we don’t over flood the seed with water, extra sunlight, or too much of breeze. The proportions have to be rightly given for the right kind of plant to spring up. Where hence does this “Bermuda triangle” exist which makes everything disappear once it reaches the edge?

                          Understanding a fellow human being can help a great deal in eradicating half of the turmoil we go through in our minds daily.  That one step of demolishing your ego, letting go of one’s pride and telling a sorry to whom so ever it may be will brings all the broken threads together. Just a thought, you may feel “it’s easy said, implementing is harder, I do agree”. But out of experience I say it makes the world a “better place to stay in”. For e.g.: If a child and parent had an argument, it’s okay for the parent to go and tell the child a sorry, he/ she is your child finally, why have ego dissolving the relations? That guilt won’t remain, happiness shall prevail.

                           Just a moment before trying to make yourself understood, understand.(sir lot of difference between listening before speaking and understanding before speaking hence used the same words)Many atheists have asked me “why do you pray to a stone which does not reply”?  I replied “because it (the idol/ god in the idol) understands, does not reply, therefore it manifests my prayer”. Now dissolve all that hatred and let go of all those inhibition and shun that pride and shyness away look forth unto yourself and then understand yourself to be understood. 

                           Look unto thyself for thee is a not a mass of flesh, or a heap of sad bones, upturned rainbows. You are gods very own creation, live for you hold the happiness, joy and lots of love to share with the world around you...live happy and be thankful for the same... JJJJ
