TELL ME "WHY"?

WHY? Do you always keep on asking questions? Or do you have anyone around you who keeps on questioning you? I have the habit of questioning since my childhood. It all started when we all used to watch television together. I kept on asking who is she? Or what is she upto? But people used to get irritated and told me to shut up. When I was in class 7th our maths teacher used to start thinking in between teaching us. He taught the most important thing that keep on asking questions like why is the sky blue? or Why am I coming to school? From that day on wards I question everyday of my life. And today also I have a question that what is the purpose of my living? Why am I living on this Earth? I struggle everyday to get an answer and may be today this blog is also to find out my answer.

Sometimes I feel like what's the use of thinking so much...Get drunk and move on (itna dimag khapane ki kya zarurat hai)..Or chill out with buddies, have fun and forget about everything..But do you think this is the answer to my question? For me, this means to ignore or escape from my problem.

    I sometimes feel studying well then getting a good job, earning a lot of money and at last marrying the guy I love and then having a happy family is my purpose of life but what after that..? Getting old with him and die one day. But do you think I'll be satisfied at my death bed with my life?  Doesn't it seem like a part of some 'once upon a time' book or romantic movie?

To tell you the truth I don't want to have such a life. I always wanted an adventurous life and hate 8-5 jobs that was one of the reasons I got into a journalism college but it turned out that I would end up in a same boring job. But still I have hopes to have an adventurous and challenging job.

So as I was talking about the question why...Do you think Newton could have ever found out about gravity if he never asked the question why and how did this apple fall on my head?

And this question WHY always leads us to the purpose of our lives or may be lead to an invention.
So, don't you think without this why in our lives, it would turn out to be useless and unproductive?
Haven't we stopped asking this question. Nowadays we like to live in ignorance and following the schedules of our calendar without even giving a thought to our lives.

So I would like you to think WHY before taking a decision or everyday ask WHY are you given this life? Even though I'm also in the quest of finding the purpose of my life. Hope I'll find it in this lifetime.

Log kya kahenge??

I simply don't know what I'm about to write but I just felt like filling up this space. I just feel sometimes we just need to let it go. Talk whatever I want, go & have cheese pizzas(even though I might gain 5 more kilos because of  it)...Take a walk alone or start jumping, screaming and hitting myself..you must be thinking I've gone mad...but I'm literally fed up of doing everything so systematically. Getting up in the morning, brushing, taking a bath, going to college or hanging out with friends..having all the 3 meals on time...this is sooo disgusting. I can't even write about my daily routine..What if I don't comb my hair, what if I start screaming in the middle of the road or pull my hair...Literally speaking I scream a lot..once we went to India gate with friends I pulled a prank I told one of my friend to stand on the other side of any group or a family...I started screaming oyeee...tu kha ja rhi h??jaldi aa...and the groups who were having a peaceful time with their families started staring at us and giving an irritated looks..Mission accomplished!! If I go and tell my grandmother that I shouted on the road or got angry on someone. She would start scolding me and tell me baby you should be careful..People would say I haven't taught you how to behave in the society ?? I think that's called a generation gap..We people always want to be free, open and live a king size life..without any regrets and enjoying every moment. Our previous generation believes in maintaining a status in the society, living a peaceful life with a big family and dying at 80 years of age. We want our cries of rebellion to be heard but they would tolerate every crap all their lives and never ever talk about it to anyone. We believe in living the moment and half of their lives gets over in future planning. As for me, my mother has taught me the value of relationship and the best part for a relation is standing together and fighting a problem. Even though there's a big difference between us and them but we respect and love them for making us who we are today- strong,  independent and caring.

Beautiful hearts


Today I would like to write about the two most beautiful instances of my life. First instance was an exciting part of my school time and that used to be the children’s day when we were all taken to orphanages and specially-abled schools. We were told to give all old toys and clothes which were in a good condition and there used to be hundreds of toys and clothes collected for them. It used to be a very interesting trip. More than having fun with my friends I used to love spending time with those kids and understanding their beautiful worlds. There was a kid named Priya who had some mental illness but she used to do amazing clay modeling or ‘aata-modelling’ as she used to do it with aata and make ships and many more things. It was a masterpiece for me because I was really bad with art and drawing in my school. I have always seen her happy and smiling. More than the toys and the clothes they used to happy playing with us. I used to always ask my parents, 'Is God biased towards disabled people?' They never gave me any straightforward answers but today I know one thing that God has made them more talented and made them with beautiful hearts.

Second instance is about my piano teacher she is the most inspiring person in my life. She left her job as an English teacher just to take good care of her specially-abled daughter. She is the best mom I have ever known. From morning till night she completely keeps her like a precious being. Two days back I went for my class and after my class she was about to take her daughter for a drive and she was saying, “specially-abled kids don’t have any concept of speed and they live in the present moment not like us who are always worried about our future”. These words just touched my heart. We are never able to live our present happily as we are always so focused on our future.

We always think we are the best and forget the world but there are many lessons to be learnt from everything around us like the birds who are so systematic with all their works and train their kids nicely. These specially-abled people have always made me realize how precious life is and live each moment to the fullest. These kids love everyone equally unlike us who are fighting for our caste,religion and color. It's time to take a review of our lives and realize the goodness of our hearts and change the world in a beter way.

Broken Lives

Delhi was in darkness for about two days due to some technical problems in the northern grid but we were still able to access social networking sites like facebook, twitter etc and share our thoughts and we survived with our generators..
I was just thinking what if there were no electricity for about one week & its raining continuously and no mobile phones,no internet services, no communication and stuck somewhere...I know it seems like a filmy scene..but still don't you think with so many technology advancements it seems so easy to communicate with anyone, anytime but due to this we have actually lost connectivity and we live in our own fake worlds. We don't even know our neighbors properly but we sit and chat on social networking sites to unknown people for hours who might have made a fake account. We don't even spend time with our families as we are busy in our laptops and idiot boxes. Years back the whole family would sit together for dinner and have a chat and share their problems. But now, it all seems like a dreamland. We all eat dinner whenever we are free or out of our so-called hectic lives. We have so many people around us to talk, laugh and make fun of each other but still we all are lost and we hide our real self from everyone. We are just living a hypocritical lives which makes us unsatisfied and unhappy because we are not showing who we are. We want everyone to know that we are really interesting and fun to hang out with. We spend our whole day on internet, android phones but we don't try to find our own self. We have brought this hypocrisy into our relationships also. Relationships have become all about lust and money. We love to show everyone that we love and care each other but actually we hate people from the depth of our hearts.      
 Why can't we behave who we are. Why is it so difficult? Why have our lives became a showpiece which looks beautiful from outside but from inside it's broken? What if we just have two or three true people with us instead of hundreds of fake relations? Be real. Don't pretend or you will end up in a vicious circle where you have many people around you but still you would be lost forever.
I still think that it would be good if we don't have all these technological advancements for sometime at least we would be able to understand the true worth  of relationships. Technology which promises to make our lives much easier but makes it more complicated..

Differences matter

Gudmorning everyone!! I'm back after along time. Today I left home to go to my office. I was late as usual waiting for the bus. Lost in my own world with thousands of questions. There were many cars around, many going to their workplaces and others for their daily chores. There were many cars there like Rolls Royce, Jaquar, Mercedes, Alto, even Maruti 800...We talk great developments like the physical infrastructure as well as our personal developments like we are all equal and we all love each others..But do you think does anything like this actually exists?? Ya, This is what I want to really ask. This post is for me to find myself and for me to find the truth. I look all around but all I can find is if you don't have money or you are not talented nobody actually cares about you. In brief, No one would even accept you. We see people holidaying, clubbing and spending lakhs for their leisure. But what about an average small kid who has just been brought up in a middle class family with his parents telling him to study hard and make his own life. But I think such kids are always brought up with many lies. The truth is till you don't have money or talent you are nowhere. We sometimes bring God in between all these stuffs. We try to bring equality by saying You know what God loves everyone equally and doesn't show any discrimination. But whats the use of bring God in between till you yourself don't have any true love to humanity and poor people. We say that these rich kids who have all they need can't ever know what it feels to be from a middle class family. We always say that these kids never get love because as there parents are always busy in making big bucks. But they don't even need their love as they have everything to keep them and their friends to be happy. We justify by saying we get love and care and are brought with good moral values but what's the use of it as when you grow up and realize that you were living in a dream world that love and caring is everything but actually no one accepts you for who you are. They just ignore you and showoff their branded stuffs. We again are lost and depressed with many shattered dreams. The truth is people judge from outside with your branded clothes, american accent and your classy cars. There is nothing like people see your heart and love you for it. I think it's time to realize it and come out of our fantasy worlds...But the ultimate truth is that you have to make an extremely well--planned lives for our own selves where these rich brads have to work under us and they need to be shown that even though we were not brought up in AC houses or branded cars but all have is our hard work and a will to be the best and learn the maximum as much as we can in this 'cruel world'. Time to buck up guys don't lose hope. By the end of this post I have realized that I have the capability to do wonders with my hard work and with the help of God. This was not to offend anyone but to find where I stand in my life.

CHILDHOOD - A MISERY FOR SOME??

Today I was out with my friends and I saw three poverty stricken kids dancing in front of  few people and the people were laughing and making videos...Isn't it child labor?? These kids were dancing just in a hope to earn  few rupees but we people on the other side were trying to take advantage of their mishap. Most of us are so educated and talented still we don't have the wisdom to understand the value of a talent or respect others feelings.We have forgotten that we are sent to this world to love everyone and live happily.But we have actually tilted ourselves so much towards the western countries that we have forgotten our moral values just to enjoy a couple of hours with friends and hurting someone for a lifetime.
                                               
We spent most of our hours in our idiot boxes there are so many shows already running which feature small kids.Isn't that child labor??Long working hours and trying to imitate someone or something which doesn't even exist in their small worlds.Due to such shows they get money and fame at such a young age.Then it gives a bad effect  for the rest of their lives.These children are loosing such a essential part of their lives.They get addicted to this fame and crave for it. Today we have forgotten to deal with the loopholes of our society which are guaranteed to be abolished but still comes out of us in different situations.Child labor doesn't only mean long working hours in the factories in incandescent lights without regular payment. All the above mention things are child labor.As a child below the age of 18 should only be allowed to get educated and enjoy the awesome school life!!

HARD TO UNDERSTAND!!

Yesterday I was travelling in a bus and a poor girl who had scattered hair and torn clothes was sitting in front of my seat.Even though the bus was fully packed and half of the people were standing no one wanted to sit with that girl. We say that untouchability had been abolished in our country many years back still we have not removed such traditions from our hearts and minds.We don't even look at people with ugly faces or shabby clothes. We are in the 21st century our lives are running so fast and we as youth are so educated and know all about upgraded technology but still we are blind and deaf. If our faith in God cannot come into action from our works it's useless. We talk against social inequalities but when are we going to have the insight to work it out.The tears in the eyes of a persecuted person are like pearls so precious in God's sight.I visited a blind school today and the children were singing songs.The truth and innocence in their hearts could be heard in their songs. I seriously don't want them to know the truth of the outside world. The love in between them and their innocence would be lost and they would be left behind in the race of acceptance. They can't see but they can imagine the beauty of this Earth and they daily thank God for it.
                         We have eyes but still can't see the beauty of the hearts,we have ears but still can't hear the cries of the people,we have hearts but still can't love the people around us.....

Religion-fiction or the ultimate truth???

"hey bhagu or OMG" are the words we use daily...is it just for style or do we actually mean it???In this 21st century we have metros running faster than our minds....new plans for mono rails which we could not even imagine 10 years back...but in between all these developments I would like to ask a question is there any place for our religion??? I think the only feeling we are left with are following traditions,practicing rituals or may be visiting holy places(if we are left with some time)...or may be creating social differences in our society which leads to riots...But I feel God does not need your fake offerings or he is not  just for timepass..or he doesn't need  your money earned with bribery...God also must be thinking these guys are not even interested in knowing how their lives are moving so smoothly.They have got so busy in their works that they have forgotten the main motive of their existence..Funny but true....We were created to live a life which is worth praised by God..a holy life..but we are only left with two words in our lives 'fun' and busy'....either we are busy or having fun...We need to realize we need to give true respect to God from our hearts...& watch our lives transforming completely...try it!!!
