Ya I knw,Long time na!Exams,work load,blah blah blah..ok got it.I was just being lazy.Lazy enough to be termed as 'sleeping hunk' by Meetu,my sis (alas,she has a caustic sense of humour and cruel smile,atleast for me).Awz,finally I am all set to jot down my turbulent cerebral scintillations.
Hmm,lets see.I intended to write something else but probably that can wait for one more day.So let me craft watever I can at the moment.
A few years back,I was skimming through the leaves of one of my dad's nicely maintained diaries when 2 b'ful couplets of Dushyant Kumar got hold of my attention.I versed them 'coz of their sincerity and exactness.I wondered if they make sense to me only or are they universally applicable to human race,provided its capability to comprehend and tenacity to adapt.
One of the couplet goes as;
"Hamne tamaam umar akele safar kiya,
Hum par kisi khuda ki inayat nahin rahi.
Himmat se sach kaho to bura maante hain log,
Ro-ro ke baat kehne ki aadat nahin rahi."
I have always appreciated the relevance of these lines and many a times have even stuck to the literal meaning,though that came out of my stubborness to do right things in right fashion.Me and my HBTI friends have gone through a lot 'coz of this stupid behaviour of mine and I still owe them my gratitude for still being wid me always.Probably despite of being rigid at head,I was never rigid at heart.Probably...
Here at SIMSR,this is one difference I have observed.People expect u to change in tune wid them,however discordant it may be.As my bhaiya used to put it-"MBA is one good thing which will enable you to see the world in new light;but trust me Manu,u not going to love the world u see."At that time I was pretty unaccomodating to watever he said and I just kept mum.Today,I can feel the force behind his words right onto my chest.I really am not loving the world I see.I really am not getting accustomed to the environment of distrust,ego and expectations around me.And should I acually strive to let my life set its vortex according to what 'others' feel about me and want me to do.Probably not.Probably,its all about how much value 'U' attach to the person.But wasnt it earlier too.Hmm...Mabe,gotta think over it.
I do need to think,and I do need to get rid of this clog inside my mind.This is not a perfect example of Noah evolving.It is not for sure.

Life is what you take it to be....

Think of this:
ReplyDeleteDid you ever think that you were being jealous or not worthy of trust??? Do you think others would be jealous or egoistic intentionally, given that you don't?
You said something about people expectations, are you not expecting people to be accommodative to you when you say that are being jealous???
Are the rules different for you and for others. When you are going to hold your ego and will close to your heart and be proud of it, others can be so too. And trust me the world will no more be a nice place with each one trying to outsmart the other.
The world is a mirror, it will show back to you what you place in front of it, you act like an egoistic and perpetually brooding character, arrogance and misery is all you get.
Respect others,all the time. Do you do that??? That is entirely for you to decide, truthfully.
Anonymous,not really.
ReplyDeleteWell,I agree to most of ur points quoted over here as even I admire philosophical texts and scriptures,though dont believe in their acceptence as such.
Yah,many a times we do get egoistic,but my ego is my self-respect.
As for respecting others,I agree to ur point of view.But then on the practical side of it,I need not take into consideration well-being in exactness of all the people around me.I need to take care of concerns of those whom I luv,with priority.Many people have other set of arguments,I have different rational.I m a human being and I cant love each and every person alive with the same vigour,many people can,and hats off to those souls.
And,yes as far as trust is considered,this is one thing which I have inherited and am proud to have it in me.I atleast in my concious being refrain from cheating anyone. Jelousy,well it is one thing which comes out of competition.If I m jealous of somebody 'coz of comptt only,I m pretty cool with it.I m a die hard believer of fair comptt in some areas of life and this ideology helps me stay active and aggressive.
Through me reverting back the comment,just want to open up the discussion as this is the way one learns.I m evolving despite of not loving the way it is going,still I atleast understand the significance of it.And such a post really acts as a catalyst to do some introspection
Hey buddy, glad to know that you took it in the right spirit, that was the idea really.
ReplyDeleteI'll start where I saw things differently: when you say your ego equals your self respect, why not for others. Just because you don't really love a person, does it mean that you can trample upon that person's free will? Think.
You said, people have other beliefs, I have mine. The day you can take others beliefs as equally well as yours, accpeting and truly believing that they are both true, you will see that evoultion is really closing down, you would have evolved.
You know, I say all this, because this a part of my evolution too, this is so much for my own self as it is for you.
I don't know if you have ever been, but I've never been jealous of anybody, atleast I cannot think after I racked my brains for 10 mins. May be I am unique that way..:-)
Finally, there is this line from one extremely book.."I swear by my life and my love of it,I will never live my life for the sake of another man nor will i ask another man to live for the sake of mine" The day I consciously act like that, I am perfect..:-)
Hope I didn't bore you!!!!!!
Hmm..So the arguments are still on.Good for me...I luv them...
ReplyDeleteWell,I m happy to find u a s one person who is thinkin more about others than of his/her own,atleast in writing.
Well ya,I again would like to re-iterate,I admire philosophical scriptures but do not go by them as such.
And ya,thankfully I am pretty aware of most of wat u quoted 'coz it all comes frm common sense,good tht u too displaying it.m glad.
And,yes as for taking into consideration others view,well I dnt
owe xplanation to u but just wana make a point tht am well aware of implications of over consideration of others' viewpoints.Moreover,its all about perception.For u I mite not be taking up ur view,for me u mite have been doing the same.And then even I do go by simple rule of substitution while doing atg of social effect.
And,yeah..hats off for u not being jealous of nebody in ur life.I have lived 24 years of my life widout finding even a single soul who had not been touched by this stupid feeling.I discussed ur perception about urself wid some of my closest friends and they said even they havent come across anybody of that pure heart.Bow to thy tenacity bow to thy purity.
I however accept my weakness here of being jealous many-a-times,and 10 min of mind racking would give me 10,00 such instances..good u...U r unique...
Awz,ntg like gettin bored.I luv arguments as I already said so its ok wid me.
And yah,probably this would suit u;
"Khuda tujhe kisi toofaan se aashna karde,
Ki tere jindgi ki maujon main Ijtiraab nahin"
So long till the next post.
update karo bhai?
ReplyDeletebeen a month since you posted anything.
Jus saw the talk between you and the anonymous somone (is the person really anonymous to you??)
ReplyDeleteThe talk seemed interesting, partly because I could relate to it.
But didn't you think you missed the point Anonymous was making about not living for anybody else??
Sorry for digging up something that probably was dead!
Well, nice couplet simple and straight. You know what a lot of times a lot of things that we come across in life or people does not gel with how we view things. At times, you just cant decipher, why people do what they do, its appears insane to you. the degree of intensity in their thoughts and actions is just beyond our comprehension.
ReplyDeleteI have wondered a lot of times "Why would someone do this? Dont they realise what they r doing is so petty and unimportant"
Well, this is what i cal the face - off with reality, people tend to attach a lot of importance to little things - ego and pride at the bottom of it all. Either they dont see the bigger picture or they havent reached the stage which perhaps you and i have. Conformism runs strongly everywhere, and the adventure begins when you try and go against the rule.
Just enjoy it all. Everyone who says you are wrong etc etc... at the back of their mind feel what you feel, they just dont say it or accept it. Well ego again; (a higher degree of self respect)
