The wait in the Office, just to look good in front of Boss's eyes........
15 Kms of extra travel, in Blore's crawling traffic.......
The honks and the snarls, the careless pedestrians' way thro the jigsaw puzzle,
The feeling that I wont be on time to meet Him,
To meet Him before he embarks on a long journey,
To meet Him to get His Blessings......The tension, The Apprehension......
!!!.....The immediate realization of the simplicity amidst the complexity......!!!
The smile !!! :)
The Smile, filled with warmth and pride which HE gave, when he came to know that the money was earned by me..... PRICELESS !!!!
These are just among some very few things in Life, which makes it worth living :)
Peace !!

Something to call "My Own" !!!!
Yes !!!!
Finally it has happened !!!!

"If at all I knew the source code of my life, debugging it would've been much simpler !!!!! "

Explainations......????
U know U havent done any mistake.......................But U could've prevented a disaster from happenin,
U know U tried to stop it from happening..............But ppl dont know it,
U know U were not involved....................................But U knew it was happening,
U know U didnt want it to happen.......................... But who the hell listens to U ?,
U know that U are sorry for the whole ordeal...... But ppl dont listen,
U know that U are not wrong...................................But ppl have their own perceptions
Isnt this a torture in itself ???? When u know that there has been a BIG mistake.....and there is NOTHING anyone in particular can do abt it........??? The only solace is in the person forgiving the lesser mortals.... But is it that easy ??!!!
The situation is further complicated with the increase in the number of people who come to know abt the situation..... a couple of them genuinely interested to solve, but a majority, just plain curious ...!!!
The End Result ....................
...........................The change in the perception of the people..........
How do I even Explain !!!???? Do I even need to Explain ???!!! !.!

The Differences ????
Out of the several Billion ppl on this earth, how is it tat NONE of us are even remotely alike ??? i mean, both physically and in the mental make up..... or are we all so blinded, tat we fail to see the striking similarities within us all????
I mean, after all, we ALL are humans, and as Swji says "Each soul is potentially divine" .....
......The thought bothering me is.......Why do we get happiness out of the failure of another person ??? Why is it that instead of trying to improve our weaknesses, we try to increase other ppl's weaknesses ??? Why is it that we tend to talk (esp bad, and rarely good) abt others behind their backs ??? why do we fail to realize that "we" who talk such stuff, are a part of the same society, the same being about whom we are talking..... After all, what is it that we gain out of the whole ordeal ????
NOTHING ... !!!!
Well, if we consider, getting a lil bit of praise from our (like minded) peers, a lil boost to our own stupid ego or even worse, if we tend to show ourselves as some sort of "Heros" before our peers, then i am sorry, we still have a Looooong way to go in life........and a lot of things to learn from it too.......
Cant we just take the person for whom he/she is ??? are we so self centered , that we expect the other person to act according to OUR wishes ??? How would we feel if someone spoke/spread rumours abt us ??? ever wondered abt that ???
Who teaches us all these things ??? i dont remember any lesson in our text books which taught us these values.... then y is it that most of us pick up the bad part so easily and fail to realize the existance of the good part ??? Does a new born baby come programmed with all these subtle values, and forgets it as it grows up, or do we never learn these things ???
I always wonder...... But all i can pray for, is this :
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat.......
Dhiyo: the intellect,understanding
Yo: May this light
Nah: our
Prachodayath: enlighten,guide,inspire
May this light enlighten/guide/inspire our intellect/understanding......
Amen !!!

The Answers......
1'30 on a Monday morning, eyes burning, I decide to Rant......!!!!!!!
I read a very interesting part in Bhagawad Gita last night, Krishna says
"
Karmanyevadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana
Ma karmaphalaheturbhuh ma te sango'svakarmani -2.47
" Your right is to work only; but never to the fruits thereof. May you not be motivated by fruits of actions; nor let your attachment be towards inaction"
An absolutely beautiful thought.....!!!!!! how many of us work day in and day out, just to quench our selfish needs, just to get recognition, just to reap the fruits of those actions ???? well, i would be lying if i didnt accept the fact, each one of us, at some point or the other, would've done some job just for pure selfish needs.... rite ??? I think i wouldnt be wrong in even goin further and tellin tat we would've done it to satisfy our EGOs ......
It was an interesting comment my friend made in my previous blog abt Ego, well, to an extent it is true watever he has expressed, but i needed a better explaination, a deeper meaning to the whole Ego Question of mine....
I happened to come across this book called "The Science of Life" by Julian Huxley, HG Wells and GP Wells.... Here is a small excerpt from the book which i liked the most, and the part where i got a LOT of answers to my questions.....
"
'Alone, in the silence of night,and the score of thoughtful occasions, we have demanded,
can this self, so vividly central to my universe, so greedily possessive of the world, ever cease to be ?! Without it surely there is no world at all. And yet this conscious self dies by night when we sleep, and we cannot trace the stages by which in its stages it crept to an awareness of its own existence. Personality (centered in the ego) maybe one of nature's methods, a convenient provisional delusion of considerable strategic value.
Wonderin about the link between the sloka and the excerpt ????
Ponder over it ...... it makes a LOT of sense.....
"I" rest my case :)
