JIGSAW PUZZLE!!

During a light conversation with one of my good friends, we realized that all our friends around is so different and we always keep on judging them to the way they behave, dress, interact etc etc… but the moment we are together carrying our different flavors we all get along so well. We enjoy, rejoice, dance, eat, share, feel, cry, fight, console, help...in short LIVE! How much so ever we all are different and imperfect in our own individual lives, when brought together we feel flawless.



That’s how the entire world is designed and that’s why no one is perfect. The imperfections allow us to find our counterpart to create perfection. Universe is like a JIGSAW PUZZLE ..different personalities put together. If U see them individually it’s not perfect but when together its picture perfect.



Everyone has a role to play and that’s how they are designed…which makes their character. No one can answer why they are this way and for that matter they are not even answerable. The moment we accept them as they are, we don’t trouble ourselves asking “Why”.



Will you question a Scorpio “Why did U sting me?”...No..right. That’s how his character is. All that we can do is either take precaution or proper medication to be healed and move on.


Identify your counterpart according to what you are to avoid complicated expectations. Like in a jigsaw if different parts are put together which are not meant for each other it will never make a perfect picture.


The question comes “How to identify”…I don’t think there is any secret formula to it. Just keep trying, you may be bruised then take proper medication and move on … then try more. That’s how we create experiences and memories which is a TRUE & PRICELESS TREASURE…The one thing that we all will take along with us after our last breath.

Whats the confusion?

Today…after a pretty long time I felt proud of myself. Reason was I completed 1st set of Diwali Diyas which will be gifted to one of my good friend. I really gave myself a pat on the back which is giving me a confirmation that I shall have my days back.


I had been trying different things in past two years and I kept on feeling that “Is there something wrong with me?” Actually…today I understand that there was one thing missing which made a difference of life.


Once you have heart and art together in place in whatever role you are playing, you see a clear picture and every work you do goes as an achievement…but actually you are just doing your job.


But if you have the art but not the heart into it, the path seems to be more hazy and impossible. The more you learn and try the goal goes further and further. Its easy to develop the art, we all can do that…remember studying history (the most hated subject for most students). We all could get over it easily cause we knew that it’s not for the entire life.


Unfortunately...life doesn’t give us short term exams with time table. Everything is unsaid, no one has time to prepare for the forth coming circumstances..right?


There are certain things that we can choose … to understand what kind of WORK is suitable for me. Every work requires brains and energy, the only challenge is to understand which one is meant for you.


If your heart is into it, you may create a fortune or may be not but I feel the satisfaction and peace is uncomparable and moreover learning the art is fun. It’s no long a job or work it becomes a part of you. Once you are in sync you start enjoying the rhythm of life


I know it becomes difficult with all the responsibilities around, but this is the ONLY LIFE that you can live as YOU. Helloo!!!! no one else can take that opportunity from you.


If you are confused, go ahead and explore every opportunity that comes your way. ..give an honest shot…give that chance to yourself…if its not meant for you, you shall come to know about it. If possible, try not to make an opinion if you haven’t tried it yet and never consider everyone’s opinion as the final one …Remember…. you are UNIQUE and there is no one in this entire milky way like You!!


Let’s see what there for me in the store…may be slow baby steps will take me to my destination

A Dog who died in PEACE!

Today when I was leaving for office, my friend Nivedita gave me a call “There is a middle aged dog that is on the verge of dying, can we do something about it?” Though I didn’t have any Animal Welfare number, but tried to get as many numbers from just dial and gave her. The moment I reached off I tried to enquire if everything is fine, but unfortunately the animal welfare association would have taken a long time to come to the outskirts of the city. I tried calling couple of them but the moment they heard Hinjewadi they would hang up (wonder how they are in social service).


It was unbearable to see the dog dying on the cemented footpath in the hot sun. We decided to at least try our best to save him. I believe he had feats & was already pretty weak, cause whenever I used to go to the tapirs to have evening tea, he would loiter around quietly. I suppose, he was too lonely and weak right from the beginning. I gave him some water, cleaned his face, covered him with a dupatta and moved him to shade. His heavy breathing had calmed down and I was wondering if this was a positive or negative sign. We enquired about which medicine to give and drove to a nearby medical to get one. By the time we reached he was already resting in peace. My heart started beating much faster and I tried to wake him up but seeing no reaction we just left him there in a shady place.


While I and Nivedita were discussing about the entire experience, we realized that at least he didn’t had a DOG’S DEATH. We really can’t control anyone’s life and death but the only thing that we could do to make them feel blessed while one is his last stage. It’s actually the survival of the fittest, but don’t you think that the most FIT and suited living creatures can be compassionate & offer help to the weak. It’s their fate and will if they can make it.


I feel that I actually helped myself apart from dog, because it was intolerable for me to see him die just like that. Now that he is free from all the pain, hope he will have a much better life next time where he is been well taken care of. I pray that he rests in peace.

A day after:
The pup lying there still…and he was covered with flowers …and more flowers were falling on him…..as if nature was showering its condolence towards it. :)


 

Earnings!!!

So..How much did you earn?



We all are judged upon this factor…how much MONEY do you earn? A father will never give his daughter if the guy is not earning well, a girl will not entertain a guy who can’t take the expenses of a date, a man will not respect a woman if she is not working…everything leading to one …Earnings…and somehow its directly connected to our egos…Right?


To reach here where you are, you must have cried, laughed, been depressed, suppressed, cheated, slogged, abide by your principles…but still we say it’s not enough, there is no limit to it. We lose our earnings in so many ways…like bad investments, serous crisis, someone cheated, some mishap…we lose it all and yet we fight back to grow, excel and survive…that’s the spirit of a human. He knows how to adapt, learn, improve and move on in most drastic situations.


But don’t you think in the business of life, we never lose…


When you did something great…you earned an accomplishment, when you were criticized…you earned a silent suggestion, when you made an effort to look good…you earned a compliment, when you tasted failures...you earned lessons…when you were compassionate towards someone…you earned a friend, when you cheated someone…you earned a foe and their negative vibrations, when you disciplined yourself and made your dream come true…you earned success. Each time you earn you learn and compete with yourself, creating new bench mark and leaving and no one can ever compete this journey that you have chosen.


So let me ask the question again…how much did you earn?


Actually speaking there is no one in this world who is worthless, and no one who is priceless


The difference between a literate and illiterate is not who can read or not…but actually who cannot differentiate the value of what he shall earn in this journey.


If everything has to end, then it even has to start?? I asked this question to myself so many times…am yet to find a correct answer...but surely it feels that I am at the right track.


What about U?

A friend WITHIN!

Friendship day, Valentine’s day, Mother’s day, Father’s day, Sister’s day..etc etc. We have all sorts of days to celebrate relationship with others, but there is no day to celebrate the relationship we share with ourselves.


We humans generally seek satisfaction in making others feel special, but we also get thrashed by the way others treat us…Right? We are always seeking a support, a friend in someone with the know fact that there are conflicts waiting to come. All sorts of emotions, actions, reactions, possessions, obsessions goes to that someone so called “Special” who actually can’t even understand you. But we still continue to carry on this way...at least I did…


The more I started thinking about myself; the world around me started teasing me being selfish. If one tries to make a deal with others that I become selfless and you do everything that would make me happy…don’t you think a lot will back out?


There is no intention of promoting rebel attitude, but actually to stand unaltered … just being yourself without expecting others to like you. It’s like offering a hand to self and a word of being there in all thick and thins.


Don’t we all hear voices in our heads? The one who want to do everything at one moment is a confused self who doesn’t know what to prioritize. There would be another voice which will help in condensing the anxiety, analyze and bring out the solution. Then we loiter around discussing with the outer world to be clear but instead create more mystification. The voice again reminds you because it knows what the best is for you at that time. Do you trust those voices?? I never did.


After really a long time…I have started listening to myself, being nice and compassionate to myself, allowing myself to voice my most stupid thoughts. In simple words…I am being a FRIEND to the indecisive, confused, agitated, angry ME.
