Don't worry the title has nothing to do with the post but a lot to do with my life in particular. Anyways,
it’s that time when I scribble my worthless pennies on the place where the legendary ‘Bird Idol’ was selected as the movie of the millennium. Those who have no clue of the above line can go and take a crapper while I fill this space with some serious thoughts.
Lesson 1
Ways people handle their problems – they do so by
- Eating a lot
- Crying all night in vain
- Pretending to be strong without realizing how vulnerable they really are
- Share it with your close friends
- Closing on your own friends thinking they would feel troubled and won’t help
- Doing nothing, waiting for them to fade away
a)
The problem can be tackled by a single option or a combination of few or all of them, what really works out of them... I dunno... that’s the beauty of the argument.
I can tell that if I am suffering, I choose option 4. It has worked for me and will work hopefully in the coming times.
The funniest part is we always try to become strong in a situation of crisis, partly because the Indian society has taught us to be strong. Me, on the contrary is happy to be vulnerable and opening up to friends. Life is simpler that waysJ. Obviously the problem arises only when u don’t know who is your friend..
Lesson 2
Change happens everywhere but when u r accused of changing, you
- Do nothing
- Deny
- Accept
- Talk it out to your near and dear ones
- Think what has happened
- Try to avoid people
a) Again, my favorite is option 4 but the question is do you have the courage to talk?
I’ve always wondered why life has so many questions. Besht part is most or all of them are self created and each one waits that someday the answers will come… Ah!! You fool… without any effort you are not getting anywhere… so at least try but again if everything had answers, it won’t be called life…
Lesson 3
Life has no lost pages, its all in the brain
When one of my friends said this line, I never thought it would define every moment of this crazy life I’ve been living. There are schools of thought that are married to the concept of life is a novel, and we end our lives searching for that final page that helps you make sense of your life. I disagree,
Life is as it is, you will never know what awaits tomorrow and you will still plan everyday to do something and end up doing something else or nothing (curious case of Reverend Father sLuDGy).
Your actions define your fate, that’s what I believe in and if you do something wrong in your life, it will come back to haunt you always, running won’t help. Be good to others, smile, forgive, apologize and ye shall be freeee. As far as the lost pages are concerned, it is and will always be in the brain, why bother about it?
Phew!! No more of these lessons, it’s close to 4am and I’m wondering where the hell all this crap came from. Why am I so sensitive, why do I care about my friends so much?
Answer lies in the song from Pink Floyd – wish you were here
“We are just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground, what’ve we found, same old fears” – never be afraid in life.
Do what your heart tells you, maybe it’s wrong but life has less regrets that way… J
All the concerned stakeholders and people who read this, do remember who you really are
And when you get the answer to some of the weirdest questions that life has asked you, do tell me about them coz I need all of them to help the chosen set of universe I call ‘my friends’…
