Strings tethered

Phew..what a time its been..these past few months.All those killer headaches and all the up downs around the city.

But something that is true for everyone is that we get out reflective thoughts especially during nature calls, or while travelling in a bus alone    staring out the window or when having trouble falling asleep!

Having realized how monotonous my life has currently become, i regret not having enough time to do my deep thinking and reflecting on how the world works.But oh well....that is my oxygen.I'm just obsessed with it. But no matter ..no matter...monotony can be a good thing too if you consider it under certain circumstances.

So this is what i like to picture....staring at the vast expanse of nothingness and getting lost avidly into my silent thoughts.

Recently I've been thinking about our different desires.And this time I'd like to talk about our DESIRE TO BE HEARD.






We all have problems. And right from childhood we are taught that we ourselves are carriers of our own grieves. And I think this is where we loose out.If only we would give others a chance to express themselves I think we could breathe much more easily than what we would.Listening to other people's grievances when you are sad or hurt makes you feel that you're not the only one who is grieving on the inside..though it may sound selfish but we got to admit;we all feel a little, if not much,relieved realising that our problems are not as big as the others.
But for some reason no body dares to open up.Nobody gives a damn about anything.They just go on...as if nothing happened, as if nothing matters to them.
Is it that these people are afraid or not brave enough to let others hear them out?Do they live in fear that their reputation or self highness will hit the low octave just in case they do show that they have a weak spot somewhere in there?
I just wish all the people would stop lying about everything.Each and everything that they speak is a big fat lie..so i'm saying through my experience living in a society where people just dont give a damn about others.Being selfish is accepted given the cut throat circumstances that we live in....but that doesnt mean we arent supposed to be stopping once in a while and hear out and lend a helping hand to those who need it.

Yes..we all crave to be heard.Somewhere inside us we just want to yell out loudly to the cruel world to drop everything that its doing and hear us out.Who values our opinions,our thoughts our quotes more?
We,ourselves 'course!! But nobody is even bothered to look up into your eyes and tell you that no matter what,I'm always there to hear you out..no one i tell you ..no one.

So we can wind up saying that maybe one day if you just hear out a beggar while strolling the streets, it would change his and perhaps your life too.
And then maybe,one day we could hear all the echoes of those lost voices!

String of light

Reading the Bible,I came across this in a gospel, not that you don't know.Jesus walked on water to reach to his disciples who were in a boat and on seeing this, they were scared.Then Jesus told Peter to come out and walk with him.So Peter did so.But then a strong wind started blowing and Peter was afraid and he began to sink down. At once, Jesus grabbed hold of him and said " How little faith you have!Why did you doubt?"

A little further he quoted to his disciples that even if you have faith as tiny as a mustard seed and you ask this mountain to move, it will move.(Its not for any reason they say, faith can move mountains)

This deep should not be mistaken to be taken literally.You've got to look at it in a broader aspect.I dont wanna start a controversy here, but in the Genesis its clearly written, now literally, that God created man in the image of himself .These lines say it all.In each and every one of us, there lies a spark. Its just residing somewhere, beneath all that stored and hidden guilt, anger etc. All that it need is a tiny ignition to go BOOM!!! Its just that we cripple ourselves and surrender to all our insecurities very soon( comme moi!! :p)
          ALL WE NEED IS FAITH.

Lemme ask this question to all the atheists out there. I know the Bible doesn't lie, I mean how can it.This was practically written. What do you think about the fact that when people went to Jesus and asked him to heal someone they loved and he just asked them to get up and go, your loved has been healed. What do you make of it?Its not miracle. C'mon!
Its faith that the people have, in him, in his words, in his deeds, in their deeds, in their selves, their loved ones, whatever!
Its that tiny 5 letter word.

Coming back to Genesis, God created man in the image of himself.Its not a difficult metaphor.Its the same thing that every religion on this planet preaches.All is one, but the ways are different.

Now, I'm not ranting over here.This what truly has happened to me.Its definitely not easy, no I haven't waled on water! but I've really experienced something inexplicable and I'd like to keep it as my personal treasure (sorry for being so, given that some people relle get all judgmental and stuff).Its not some hocus pocus kinda thing.
Its just a feeling, a strong feeling that resides in each of our hearts.

We are full of courage, again, its only the ignition that's required.It doesnt matter if it comes out early, or late or even some where in the middle, but it comes, at the proper time.Only we've got to keep our eyes and ears wide open.

This is through my personal experience, my dad's patients regard him as their god, their idol, their saviour.I mean this is beautiful, the way mankind can LOVE, have FAITH in something as critical as a doctor who is always under constant pressure as someone's life is literally in his hands!

I always yell this out loud, idol worship isn't having faith.Its just.........well just idol worship!You're really doing things for the sake of it.Dont you go to temples and pray, but lemme tell u even if i pray lying in my bed, I think I'll be more complacent or satisfied than those who go to temples etc.Why you ask?B'coz I pray from my heart.My heart speaks out and that too casually!It reminds of one of Rabindranath Tagore's sayin :
God asks for his temple of love to be built, and man brings stone. This goal of temple of love yet remain man's greatest unfulfilled task!

Mind you, praying is no offence.Its just like singing a song that you keep humming in your minds.You pray to whatever, not necessarily whomever you want. Trust me, it really helps.But just be truthful or else you'd be kidding yourself.
Re-quoting  Steve Jobs: People who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!
What else, my answer to that is  faith!
