Life Mortgaged

As I sit to pen down a few thoughts about human life, I questioned myself “What is the importance of life”? Whom do we live for? Are we living for ourselves or are we living for others? If we are living for others, then definitely we are not leading our life but somebody else is living our life.
Can anyone live a life which has expired? Can anyone lead an insipid life? Does life really exist? What is the meaning of life? Is the other name for life compromise? If yes, to what extent the compromise can go? Can we get to see any single individual who had lead his life to the fullest with all his content?
Can life any time pain? Is life itself a paranoid? How does life treat anyone? Is it for us to extract the best from life or does life offer us anything anytime? And again, when I say anything in the purest sense I mean only positive elements of life. If you are a keen reader of this article, by now you would have observed that till now only questions followed life. So, can we assume that life is questionable? Well, if life is question bank then it should be answerable as well.
According to me life is mortgaged. Yes, life is mortgaged at a bank called destiny. Mortgage at different phases of life and unfortunately, the life bank or bank of destiny does not provide the facility of fore closing the mortgage account. It only has a new account readily available as soon as the old account nears the maturity date. The interest that we are required to shell down towards the mortgage account in the life bank is the finest ingredient of one’s own life at that respective phase. And yes, if we fail to pay the required EMI, obviously it adds up till the next phase of life and you are made to blow down the penalty which will cost a sky.
Ah, you can never have the privilege to beg for a waiver from this bank. Each phase of life is vitally important with all the key elements. If any such element abstains, reconciliation with the destiny bank is ruled out. Is ill fate an inherent factor of birth?
One of the traps that’s easy to fall into is filling your life with too many incompatibilities — people, places, objects, circumstances, and activities that just don’t mesh with the person you are on the inside.
When your external reality is out of sync with your inner self, your inner self will resist it. This creates the feeling of wanting to escape your circumstances. You may feel powerless to make big changes, but deep down you’ll still sense a strong desire to “get out” and leave parts of your reality behind. You’ll fantasize about quitting your job, moving out, or ending a relationship.

It’s easy to lose years of your life while surrounded by incompatible energies. This problem is so common that some people just consider it normal. They figure it’s normal to dread going to work or to feel disconnected from the people around them. This may be common, but it certainly isn’t a healthy situation.
When you look at the different parts of your life — your career, health, relationships, spiritual practice, daily habits, and finances — and ask, “Is this really me?” do you hear some no’s? How long have you been tolerating these incompatibilities? Why don’t you simply kick them out of your life, so you can replace them with something more compatible?
Some people think it’s a good thing to tolerate the parts of life they don’t like. That’s dumb. Tolerance isn’t acceptance. Tolerance is resistance. To be more specific, tolerance is resistance to love.
When you fill your life with energies you must tolerate, you prevent yourself from attracting what you really want. The more incompatibilities you tolerate in your life, the fewer compatibilities you’ll be able to attract and enjoy. Keep this up for a few years, and you’ll be drowning in a life that feels totally wrong for you.
What bothers you about your life? What are you tolerating right now? I’d like to challenge you to stop tolerating your life. Either fully accept it, and love it as it is. Or kick out the incompatible parts to create the space for a life you’re able to love and accept completely.

Tha Pain You Gave Me

Mother Land or Statehood?

India, the mother of 1.15 billion children of all caste and creed, religion and language loves her children without any discrimination. The beloved mother has given birth to legends and stalwarts like Shri.Krishna Deva Raya, Tipu Sultan, Bhagat Singh, Shivaji, Jhansi Laxmi Bai, Rani Rudrama Devi, Prithvi Raj Chauhan and the likes. All these martyrs lived, fought and died for their mother land. India should be a proud mother to have children like them, mother who gaveherself children as strong as pillars to shield her and sacrifice their life for her. The then children of Mother India fought without any selfish motives for their mother. But poor mother should also lament on producing many people who are worthless to be called as Human Beings in the first place, the new age politicians and so called civilians of the country. All the children belong to the same soil, yet the blood and thoughts which runs in today’s generation is contaminated and tainted.

India is a nation known for its rich heritage and culture. There also existed a feeling called oneness amongst all the people. In the golden era, strangely the fear of attacks from terrorists, mujahideens, Naxalites or Maoists and their associated communities never lived. Unfortunately, that era is known as technology elusive age. If any sensible and real patriotic compares today’s civilized (?) technologically developed, literate and goal driven society with the period of royals and nawabs, and makes people understand the statistics and facts, the same civilized society should slaughter and crucify itself of disgrace. Our ancestors have amassed the riches and wealth for the mother land and in contrast to them, the today’s tech savvy and much more developed cohort has put their own mother in debts and hi tech loans.

The today’s advanced society is divided into locals, non-locals, minorities, backward classes, scheduled tribes and what not. The classifications and division of society very much existed even in the golden era but the intensification was decent and vague. The mother land is rechristened by her own children as India from Bharat Matha and Hindustan. Real warriors and guardians of the nation are scarcely found among citizens’ of today.

Well, well, so much has been spoken about the nuances of patriotism and martyrdom of yester years. Do we now peep into the current political situation of our beloved country? When I say political, all that I can feel is the blood shed and senseless riots which are occurring in the country. People are creating riots for petty things. If a particular segment of the society needs the bar level to be raised for several kinds of reservations, then another issue crops up even before finding a solution to the former. China proclaims the ownership of the region till Indus Valley and Pakistan needs Kashmir. The countries, with whom we sign the peace treaties to evade threat and invasion, demand our mother’s heart and soul. Since India is a secular country, we tend to maintain silence and patience. They are the best weapons to fight injustice because the same is taught to us by our peers. It is indeed an irony that we follow only the convenience crippled methodologies to fight against all odds. None of the politicos or students is interested in going for hunger strikes or blazing themselves in fire for petty issues like these.

The current hot topic of the nation is demand for a separate statehood. If one demand is met and a separate state is declared, then few of the other states are lined up for separate state formation. Students of today are citizens of tomorrow. The age old Telangana issue has now become the demand for students. Many so called students have sacrificed their precious lives for their state. These citizens of tomorrow out of the blues sprung into action to fight for their state. Political leaders went on indefinite hunger strike. Damage was witnessed at an exorbitant ratio. The nation was under acute pressure till the time a decision was announced.

Kargil war was fought only by the security forces without any student organization sacrifices, and politician went on hunger strike. The reason being that only authorized and licensed forces can be utilized and implemented to fight against mother land. The 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks shook not only the nation, but the world. We witnessed only the security forces fighting and striving for their mother land. India lost many of its deserving sons during these painful episodes.

The students, citizens of tomorrow and the politicians who are ever ready to go on indefinite hunger strikes to showcase their patriotism for their mother land were missing their regimen during the pathetic condition our mother was going through. Neither the politicos did feel the need to think of going on hunger strike nor did students or any citizen sacrifice their life.

If the fight is for a separate statehood, then all the so called educated civilians and politicos of the region emerge from no where to hog the limelight. They are everywhere. They disrupt the domestic lives of innocents. It is quite interesting to note that common people are keen and participate enthusiastically in issues emphasizing on separation than any constructive approaches. They are so deeply engrossed in separations that they don’t think back to sacrifice themselves and fall prey to cheap traps of the power hungry heads. The security forces that lay their lives for protecting their mother land were attacked by the irate and stray student mobs fighting for separate state hood, mercilessly and ruthlessly. What a fall my countrymen.

The citizens of tomorrow could not stand up against the most pathetic situations of the country has witnessed and it is indeed a shame that they are claiming the rights for a separate statehood. People who can not pledge for their mother land are fighting for state hood. Did we forget the slogan, United we stand and divided we fall? India loses cricket match, people go on rampage. Known enemy is better than an unknown friend. Naxals, militants, terrorists are known threats to the country. Sorry state of affairs. So much pain behind those eyes. Still the mother loves her children.
