I feel sad

I don't know how to feel after an event like Bombay blasts or the train mishaps. I feel sad. My heart is sinking. Why so many innocent people are being killed. What is the satisfaction in killing people. My mind then tries to find answers to these questions in spirituality. I can't derive any satisfactory answers. But what is our duty has always been the gray area. Shall we be more vigilant? Shall the authorities be more vigilant? Shall we not put more pressure on the authorities to strengthen the intelligence systems? Shall we not ask for stringent punishment for those who have been found culprit?

Love

life is such a mystery, that it is amazing to unravel it. Love was something which always baffled me. I used to think love is such a great thing without any boundaries, then how come you can love only your family and not your neighbour. How come you cry only for your family and not for someone else. Few days back I was reading "community and psychology", they were discussing about basic needs of man. Love was one of them. But they defined love a sense of attachment. Then I thought the love we share with our family is our basic need, and that is a sense of attachment. So in a family every member is satisfying other member's need of attachment.
But then where is the love which I defined earlier. That is actually the spiritual definition of love. That love is god. God doesn't have any boundaries. it is not less or more. It is always a source of immense happiness.
The problem with love(attachment) is that it makes us obsessed. We think that we cannot live without our near and dear ones. While this is just a false belief, and is proven in every sphere of life. Family doesn't want their children to go away for work, once they are gone things are fine.
This proves that we as human beings and independent loving creatures, but we have basic need of attachment which is fulfilled by the people around us. Our family our friends.
But then why should a person be attach to his parents when he has spouse to get attached with. Now comes the morality of action. Our parents are our gods, who make us what we are today. They might not be great people, but for their children they do whatever they can.
But as we grow we fall into love with someone. But by definition this love is just an attachment, as is with your parents. The difference being the time and the amount of work which your parents did for you. But this young love seems to be very passionate. But actually this is nothing more than an attachment(which is a basic need).
But hen why should we choose the attachment of parents over the attachment of our young love. It is just because it is our moral duty. And because we can easily do it.

Exicement of buying

Today i realised how important is the enthusiam and excitement associated with buying or selling any product or services. Our mess has got the new token system of messing. Now you pay and you eat. This gives us the freedom to eat anywhere. But moreover the variety and quality of food has improved. Wastage has decreased tremedously. Now mess has become an exciting place where we go and choose whether we want to eat matar paneer or fish or patta gobhi.

Love people, don't judge them

I am going to let you analyze yourself a bit. If we see carefully we meet so many people in a day. The moment we see someone our mind forms an image of that person according to his looks, his personality, and all other info which the mind has. This process leads to a conclusion whether he is a good person or bad. Thus, we treat him accordingly. But we forget that it is not the person, but his characteristics that are good or bad. We forget to love the person who is, by the virtue of god, another most beautiful creation which needs love. Love is such a great emotion which fills both the lover and the loved one with the godliness unexplained, no matter how good or bad you perceive that person. As mother Teressa said "if you judge people, you don't have time to love them".

Holi

The festival of colors holi is round the corner. I am very excited about it. The colors are so fascinating. They fill our life with all the different feelings. What a gift to be in such a colorful world. It is so lovely to color your friends with all sorts of shade. The heart is filled with joy. I remember when I was little more younger, me and my brother used to wakeup early in the morning on the holi day. This was to inflate a good amount of water balloons which can be used further. Usually the holi battle used to start at 7 am. So many aunties used to come to play holi with mummy. Dad used to go to his office to play holi.Then after playing holi we used to take turns to take a bath. That used to be the longest bath of all times. In the evening we usually wore a kurta and then went to meet people.

Comeback to life

Sometimes we become so powerful that we are burdened by our own powers. Sometimes we become so responsible that our shoulders droop of heir weight. Sometimes we become such a great thinker we are unable to leave the cage of our mind. Sometimes our desire for perfection is so great that our corrections for the self and others, never cease. IF it is so, then comeback to life.

Life

Sometimes It is so difficult to be simple. We get so entangled in trying to solve the mysteries of life, or doing things in life that we miss all the enjoyment that life brings to us. Someone is bothered about whether he will be able to achieve his task or not, someone is bothered whether he will be able to enjoy life or not. Materialist is concerned about whether will he be able to earn the amount he intends to, spiritualist is bothered about whether will he be able to find the god or not. Idealist is bothered about doing everything right. But let us feel the life as it is. It is an awesome journey with many twists and turns.

Love

I was going to back to my home town. I boarded the metro train for anand vihar railway station. While I was standing, there was a couple standing in front of me. They were in their late twenties.The boy was slightly darker in complexion. The girl was simple. What was extremely beautiful was the glow in their eyes. While they shared their myriad thoughts they were so soulfully watching into each other's eyes. It was true love. It seemed that god has himself taken their form and talking in front of me. What a beautiful emotion is love.

Understanding value

I had my annual function today at the college. After all the good show and accolades I went back to the auditorium to grab my bag. The audi was totally empty. There was complete silence. I took my bag and decided to sit down for a while. The silence was really soothing. Then suddenly I realized that sometimes to understand the value of things we have to face the adversities. May be that calmness would never have touched me if I was not exposed to noise.

The Jouney

In progression of my last blog I have come up with another analogy for life's goals and aim. We think we will become great scientist, or great poet, or a good writer, or a good enterprenuer, or a good politician etc. These serve as source of light, we progress towards. We try to achieve that source of light. But actually it is the journey that is the real aim of life.We experience every moment of it. We are happy sometimes, we are sad sometimes, we are focused sometimes, we are hey-way sometimes. But life unfolds in such a colorful way. It is so charming to feel the colors of life. Thus the aim of life is life itself. Promlem arises when we start attaching ourselves with that source of light. Our happiness becomes associated with it. We forget that all the goals which people are following are just a positive energy source which are entrinsically same. It is just that we liked something we took it as our goal. That liking doesn't makes it mandatory to be the goal. We are capable of doing every thing in life. We can like a thousand things. That is the beauty.
Thus all the light sources are just the same, their purpose is to illuminate the path which is the real aim.

Life's Journey

We all have certain goals in life, like we will become a doctor or an actor or a chef or an enterprenuer. Then we have some short term goals. These really keep us going. But I found that if in the process of achieving these goals we don't enjoy the moment then the we have lost our life. It becomes a life which doesn't have life. We are always bothered what we should do next or what we should not have done earlier. This juggle from past to future leads to the loss of present. We don't have to be bothered about our goals. They are the meant to be positive source of light in our life.

Innocence

Life is really an awesome experience. As a medical student when we see life and death from so nearby. Today I just saw the delivery of a baby. How cute is the baby. so innocent looking at us from his small eyes, without anything in his mind. No preformed judgments, no calculations, no fear, no haste of doing something. It is really an awesome example of how god has made us. We really have to introspect what we have learnt over these years of life. Where is the innocence of that child?
