Dew

Last week, after many years, I stepped out to buy crackers - some sparklers and sprinklers for my daughter. It was her first Diwali in India.She has not seen or heard so many noises and so much of light on the roads until then. So after two days of preparation, she finally agreed to light sparklers herself. That's how I stepped on to the road, full of joy for it is different buying things for yourself and very different when you buy for others and more so, when it is for your child. At the shop, there were five people in different age groups, all buying crackers per their budget. I asked for five packets of sparklers, hoping for ten pieces in each pack. I couldn't imagine my daughter spending more time on sparklers. The shopkeeper gave me a look that almost said " Why are you wasting my time on a Diwali day?". I immediately added " It is for my two year old daughter". Then he smiled and asked me what else I wanted. I also picked up a pack of Flower pots a...

'Just Do It' is the tag line of one of the famous companies. Whoever thought out that line, has done it well because that is all there is to life in any aspect. Just go ahead and Do it.. whatever it is. You have a chance, you may have a choice, but you just do it. And the response of the doing does not always have to be visibly, immediately, in your favor. You did it because you wanted to do it. Simple. If you are doing something because someone else asked you to, that someone else wont be there to take the hit of it, if any, later. You are solely responsible for what you do.

There is always a sub-conscious need to feel appreciated in everything. Recently when I was talking to someone I just figured that this need should be the culprit that spoils all the confidence in anyone.  I just asked myself Why? and I don't have an answer. If the answer is encouragement, acknowledgement, ego, fame and name.. why are we behind these? Isn't feeling gifted more important?? 

Life is governed by unseen rules that we do not know who makes. Most I guess are carried over from the past, most have changed for convenience in the later years and rest of the lot are new. But rules are there, whether you like it or not. Wonder if many are followed because of the universal laws: - My neighbor does it, so I must. - It happened to them and so I better follow this. It would be a blessing to know why we are doing what we are doing in life.. this way, the unseen rules can be validated better.

Gravitational force is good. Imagine what would the world be like without it!!! So staying grounded is only but natural. If you feel your mental balance is fluctuating, then just remind yourself that it is important to come under the control of the gravitational force of your mind. Just stay grounded until you know you are ready to make the next move. And how do u do that? Simple. Keep quiet for the moment. Clarity will surface in a calm head.

Heads I win, Tails you lose.. In any case you win if you strike a deal this way. Beware of such agreements and get into the deal only if you know that you are okay with Head or Tail. We must understand that there are two sides to everything and both sides may be correct from its own stand point. No decision is wrong. Its just what works for us and what does not.
