Time Nahi hai......

How often have we used this phrase as an alibi for not being able to meet our parents or spend some time with them. Our job- urge to earn more and more, our colleagues: who don't mean anything really , our friends: the like minded people, keep us so occupied that when it comes to sit with the family and have some good talk we do not have The Time. We don't get a leave from the job to just pay them a visit but may get a couple to go for a vacation. Driving to their place to meet them in person might seem taxing for our health but driving to a far placed job or may be a fun destination is more like a relaxing journey.

Its ironically amusing that the job which gives me the money to spend on my Luxuries.....does not give me enough time to spend on my necessities....just a day off to visit my parents/family.... when they are alive and may be in need of our emotional support, but will instantly agree to lend me a few days when they will be no more...just enough to perform the last duties....ever given it a thought...

Suddenly money and the luxuries it buys have taken a top priority in our lives may be subconsciously without even letting us realize it, putting family especially our parents in the backseat.

Its strange but true and may be thought provoking for little some... that includes me too.

How good would it be if we could find some time & spend it with the old but the firm pillars of our lives, when they are still in this world which sees little beyond the physical & material needs...

Nature gives us enough time everyday..its only we who have to decide what type of quality we add to our day.....

To live long.....become a Politicians.....

Strange title, but has anyone ever observed every year there are many deaths due to bomb blasts, accidents and uncured curable diseases, who dies, you and me.....the so commonly found species called 'The Common Man'. How many times do these species called Politicians have you heard dying in these circumstances. Oh yeh, we do hear them getting killed in a mishap once in a blue moon. Remember the Sarojni Nagar blast before Diwali in which the death toll was around 100 'The Common men'. Well, why talk of that only when we have these bomb blasts every year like we have our festivals. The only difference being the date on which they happen, may be because of the Hindu calender in which dates vary. They seem to have become a part of our lives now and doesn't seem to bother us much, but may be just for a week after actual event. Ironic, we prepare for the festivals before they arrive but here we do the clean up after the blast has taken place. Oh what clean up....clea

Need vs Necessity

What is a necessity and how it differs from need, or are these two synonyms. In this post I have tried to explore these two words. I think, necessity is an absolute need without which survival would not be possible and need is relative. It keeps changing with time, situation and thinking of generations or people. Necessity remains constant for all. If I represent need and necessity by two circles, I can draw a relation between the two. A meeting point where both become interchangeable depending upon situation. Here situation is an umbrella term which includes time, people and their dependencies. Water, oxygen and food are absolute needs without which we would not be able to survive on this planet. Sun, plants are necessities and have an indirect dependents on them. We keep on inventing needs and then things to satisfy those needs. Certain needs become necessity , means of survival and vice versa. It depends in which situation we are in. Like during winters keeping ourselves wa

Every Struggle in this world is aimed to achieve Freedom

The first time I read this quote, it kept resonating in my mind for a very long time, as if somebody had just revealed the biggest secret of this universe to me unknowingly. As I continued to think about it, I realized that every struggle whether internal or external is indeed aimed to achieve freedom. Our external struggles help us establish ourselves in this world, prove our worth to this world and keep us moving from one socio-economical level to another. What we leave sets us free but at the same time what we achieve binds us. Our internal struggles help us realize and prove our worth to ourselves. Struggle to become a better human being. In the process we free ourselves from the grips of that old person but cling to the new one. Both aim Freedom from old but bind us to the new. Life binds itself and also frees itself, when its born and when it leaves. We are like experiments of life, we are born , we bond to the world around us and then one day we have to leave everythin
