Life, I don't exactly understand you !

Life. Some say its god's gift. Well, I do believe that.

Some believe that you can change your fate. I believe that everything is decided and written already by some unknown power, may be the Almighty.
Sometimes it happens to me that we can change what we are doing. But who knows what happens next. Everything depends on our moves. Yes, our moves.
Things happening around me recently have moved me a lot. And for the first time in my life I'm thinking about life and death. Not normal deaths, accidental ones. I am writing this with a heavy stone in my heart. Listen to me,  A HEAVY STONE.

There is this guy named akash(name changed). We used to play basketball together in college. He was a junior to me. He was very good at the game. I envied his learning quickness. And today, he's no more. How does it feel ? Why did this happen to him ? What about his parents ? Friends ?
It's really painful. Very painful. Loss of a dear one hurts a lot. I am not much connected to him. But I feel a great loss. I will think of him every time  I play basketball. I will feel his loss when I look at his friends. I will really miss him. This world misses him.

Life. Love. Affection. Loss. Pain. See how we are attached to the ones around us. They are a part of our lives. If one gets detached, how does it feel like ? It's just like we lost a part of our body. We get stunned when we think about the loss. Life is just like a spider's web. With all the complicated connections and traps. We get more and more attached to the things around us. As soon as they become too dear to us, it becomes a life's trap. When we lose it, then we are done. We go into a deep state with all this pain inside us. At such time, everyone thinks about life. Everyone try to understand what exactly it is. Well, I am in the same situation too.
But, all I can say is "Life, I don't exactly understand you!".

Young people dying daily. Some with diseases, some out of hunger, some due to accidents. But all these ones are not given time to live their lives fully. I often think why are all these worthless politicians and all given their full time life and not these poor chaps ? That's life. Life is a bitch. It is all destined. When a kid is born, all his fate will be written. People who he'll meet in the future, people who he will end up with, people who he'll give birth to. Everyone. There is no chance that he will escape anything that's gonna come to him. If he is destined to become the President, its sure that he becomes. If he's destined to die of hunger, then he will. Some people quite contradict this. They say we can change anything that comes in our way. They say, If I want to eat a burger now, I sure will. But I say it is destined that you'll eat the burger or otherwise. I believe in what I say. I believe in what I can do. Yeah, that's life. When I am sure about what I am saying and a million people contradicting it, I am ready to fight 'em all. I want you to believe that we cannot escape what that's gonna come.

There are some people who call themselves fore-tellers. Some are true and some are bull-s**tters. There is a case where some fore-teller who told our family what's gonna come to us. All he said is true in our case. As he foretold, we bought two houses, we lost something et-cetera. How could he predict something that is going to happen in the future ? This is just a proof of what I believe in. FATE. We cannot escape anything.

All these random paragraphs, thoughts, experiences, preaching are just some of my views of Life.
I just want to live my life happily till the second before my death. I swear to me that I shall surely enjoy my death too.

"Life. I know what you are. What you do. You are a gift. I will enjoy living you. Thanks for giving me a good time till now. I am seriously waiting for the hard times that you're gonna give me.
Love.

The Artifex."

Don't just swim the tide

Have anyone tried to look at life differently?


Have YOU tried to change the way people live their lives? Ever?

Yes?
No?

If your answer is yes, then you may not see anything new in this post.
If it is NO, your are my guy for today.
So, according to you what is life?

Life is god's gift. If your answer is yes, then yes you are right. It is God's own gift given to you, very precious and rare. So why don't you use it in a correct way and in the right manner. Life is just what you design it to be. But for some people, it is already designed, nicely packed like a birthday gift, and gifted to them when they enter this world, world which they have not known before. What i meant to say is, some parents already decide what their child must do when grownup. But actually they are bounding the gift given by the God to their children with all the restrictions and they are even adding their own dreams to their children's life, dreams that they couldn't make come true in their lives. Like the movie 3Idiots. Thanks to the film for spreading so much awareness about life, education, excellency. Doing what others want you to do is not living your life. Do what you want to do, excel in what you are doing. Just it, and the world will bow before you. Do whatever you want to do, you may make some mistakes at first (mistakes do happen, right?) but you'll learn a lot from it. You'll be enjoying what u are doing. But if not, if you do what you dont want to do, if you dont do what you want to do, and if you don't be what you wanna be, i bet there is no meaning in living such life.

And ofcourse there are some people who don't give a damn about their life, they just go with the flow, and realise later what had happened to them. And they feel sad then for what had happened to their life. Even I have a friend who doesnt care about her life, she doesnt give a damn actually. Just moves with the flow. And i bet she will definitely think about all this later and feel for what had happened. Don't lead your life like a sheep in a herd. You are unique in your very own way. Of-course every one has their own talent, you have yours obviously. Break all the non-sense rules, boundaries. Come out and see the world. It looks so beautiful and you have lots of colours to make it even more beautiful.

But we must and should write our own path. Everyone will know their own interests better than others. For example, i am pursuing my under-graduation in Aeronautics, and i am interested in something completely different from what i am studying. I am very much interested in computers and web designing. Infact, i fell in love with computers long ago. Yes it depends on you, what path you choose to succeed. Afterall, the final product is a sweet fruit of success, happiness and self-satisfaction. An animator creates animation, designs it. But a real animator animates his own thoughts, he lives in his imaginations, such people create wonders. Example, Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse. Just like i eat yinglish, i talk yinglish, i walk yinglish dialogue from a random movie. If you are really intersted in what you are doing then nothing else will bother you.

Remember, success is not something which gives 50k salary per month, a 8hour work per day, or a good wife. Real success means being happily doing what you really want to do. Excel in what you are doing. This is success to me and a lot of other successful people like Mark Zuckerberg, etc. He dropped out of his college for working on his dream project, that is passion for what he loves.

And yeah, i dont blame either parents or the kids themselves. Even so many people we meet in our life are also responsible in changing our lives, and some people do ruin ours. For example, our lecturers. The great, brilliant, intelligent, useless piece of un-sharable knowledged persons. Assignments, bounded class notes, formal wear, every other bull-shit that we daily complain about. These peoples ruined their own lives and
started on a mission to ruin another bunch of lives.Not all of them
are like that but many are.

My sincere pledge to all the lecturers,
"We, as students expect only a kind of encouragement and some knowledge to gain. You may not be perfect. Of-course no one is perfect in the world we understand. But your imperfectness should not affect the students. Please don't treat us like slaves. We just want to live like free birds, finding something new everyday. We do respect u and your seniority. Most of the time in our lives we spend with you. So you have a lot of impact on our lives. Please try to change the attitude towards students. After-all, we are tomorrow's future."

Coming to girls, i know them as just book-eating, silent-sitting, robo bugs. What the hell is wrong with you?
Just open up guys, you are a part of this world, world going down. Upto my best knowledge, i know that for 50% girls life is just growing up, helping mom(girl from the same half), marrying an unknown guy,
making children, and dying peacefully. Crap. Thats not life madams. You have a lot to explore(not that EXPLORE from the movie PAUL), lot of new dreams to make true. Just live your life the way you want it, the way you designed to be. Its not just ending up at nothing, you must make a meaning out of your life. Yeah, definitely guys.

So, here is my serious and sincere request to all the readers of thispost and my dear friends, before you do anything touch your heart and
feel it. If your heart says yes then go for it. Otherwise leave that
without any second thought, what ever it may be. Dont bother. Just live your
life. Listen to your heart not to ur brain. Dont back off guys if you face troubles. Afterall, they are just troubles, they wont
last long.


DON'T JUST SWIM THE TIDE, MAKE A DIFFERENCE, BREAK THROUGH IT.


Sincere thanks to Shwetha for brilliant ideas. A small gift for your Birthday.

The Road Which Made A Difference..

Hello everyone. So here I am, with my first blog post in my life. I wonder what I am gonna talk about. As this is my life blog, only stuff regarding my life and my experiences with different people and different stuff will come here. I am happy to say that I am thinking about creating another blog to let everyone know about the “OTHER” side of the coin.
Like every other newbie blogger, even I am afraid to express myself to the world. Well said by my friend Siddarth, I also live by the same old poem that everyone know, same old poem that our teachers taught us, the same old poem that I think of every day, every step I take.

The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

This poem has a great impact on many lives. And in fact it changed a lot of lives too. When I listened to this for the first time, I wondered how one could write which was exactly in my mind. I was very happy to think exactly as Robert frost. Or I can say, Robert frost did think exactly like me. It depends on me how I think. Yes! Exactly. It’s up to me what way I think and which road I take. And it’s up to you too.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made the difference.”

We should definitely take the road less traveled and make a difference. Well I did the same. I don’t know what difference I made. But if all of you realize this and make your own way out of nothing, I bet you’ll definitely notice the difference. Well, that’s all for my first blog post. More episodes of Bhagavad geeta coming up :P :P :P. Well that’s up to us which way we live. But whatever way it may be, we “SHALL” make a difference. Yes, Definitely!! Love you guys.
