Simply sipping
my coffee by the window…looking at the various things happening out there, like
the women bargaining with the sabziwaala & not ready to let go off her 5 Rupees,
the beggar just sitting out in the hot sun in his own world expecting someone
to show some mercy while people just passing by him…some staring with dirty
looks…some showing genuine sympathy...the child crying for the toy he saw in the
last shop he visited…kids shouting their guts out as soon as they heard the
school bell....the people by the paan shop…smoking n chewing…some out of habit…some
out of frustration….those cheesy couples walking hand in hand…those boyfriends
walking behind their gals apologizing…(story of every guy….lol..)..those high
society men n women walking out of their multimillion dollar homes…that middle
class father passing by on his scooter hoping that he could too provide the
same to his family some day….those young confident looking guys and girls knowing
that they are so broke inside and still managing to put a fake smile on their
faces …and all the hustle n bustle of
the city…put me to thinking….WHAT LIFE IS ACTUALLY..???...
Well that’s
a very difficult question…isn’t it..??...people have been looking for an answer
to this question since centuries…no wonder all the scientists and historians
look psychos and lunatics…( forgot the various pics you saw in your science and
history labs..???..)…anyways, if you are looking for a scientific answer…don’t read
this article anymore…duh…I ain’t no SCIENCE GEEK… I’ll be sharing only what my
perception is…( although my parents keep telling me- “beta abhi aapne duniya
dekhi kaha he” )….so ignoring my parents for a while I’ll just assume that I have
some amount of experience….
“LIFE” is a
boundless concept…the more you try to figure it out…the more you get confused…I
bet all my YOUNG guys n gals would agree…coz we are the most frequent hand
raisers to this question….we always try to figure out why the hell life is
behind kicking our ass off….as soon as we see the challenges and troubles in
front of us we know “ Damn,we are screwed”….those hundreds of break-ups we see
everyday and think…”man, life is a BITCH”….and we end up getting frustrated and
ultimately exhaust ourselves…
Um sure….each one of us
would have looked up in the sky and talked like a retard asking god “ WHY YOU
NO LEAVE ME ALONE..???..lol…
But…what bums me out the
most is why don’t we see the other way round…why do we always try to find faults;
rather we should invest our time and energy in looking at the brighter side…there
is much more to life then just a STRUGGLE….!!!
I believe life is KIND OF
BITTER-SWEET…
I agree that it throws
tantrums at us…but then it also gives us the those beautiful memories that we
cherish….the freaky, crazy friends we make, the disturbed looking professors ,
those special/stupid strangers, the guy/girl who just makes us skip a heartbeat,
those dumbass people who frustrates the hell out of us and still have a special
place in our hearts, those peaceful moments when you just sit behind your
friend and enjoy the warm breeze flowing through your hair while your friend
tries to cut his way through the traffic and dodging the thullas/mamus on the
signals, those pleasant family trips, the mother/father hood we experience when
we carry our new born baby for the first time..etc etc…the list is infinite….
Aren’t they all worth
cherishing….aren’t they a reason enough to enjoy life rather than crying over
it….all those who are trying to be strong and fighting back their tears…I absolutely
understand your situation….trust me…I have been there…but what I learnt is….becoming
weak is not an option for us, rather be
bold and strong and have guts to face your problems…instead of the dark, try to
move towards the light….follow a simple
mantra in your life “SMILE THROUGH ALL THE ADVERSITIES” and BANG…you
will hit the treasure…you will never be sad again….try to find those
small-small reasons that makes you happy, whenever you feel low, cry your heart
out, but then remember, once you are done never look back…
Enjoy life till it lets you….don’t
keep any regrets….do anything and everything you want to, before you die….even
if its jumping off the cliff or diving deep into the sea…JUST DO IT….!!!
A beautiful line that
inspires me and gives me the much needed push :–
“Aaj…..aaj ek haseen aur
baant loon… Aaj ek dua aur maang loon….Aaj ek aansoo aur pee loon…. Aaj ek
zindagi aur jee loon... Aaj ek sapna aur dekh loon…. Aaj….kyuki kya
pata, KAL HO NAA HO…!”
