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..
