Reflection!

Every now and then, in the mirror, I see my old self from a few years back.

I can clearly see in the mirror, how narrow-minded these eyes are.

But then does it mean my future self from a few years ahead will find my eyes from now, shallow? I think so.

In those moments of failure, I am pretty sure I will assume that I did enough then. Still, shit happens!

But at present it doesn’t look like I did enough. Anyway, the moment is gone. Now again, I feel I did enough. Is it enough? Asking my future self.

In the mirror, I can see so many fresh wounds. A few of them left scars, that I can see without a mirror too.

I know it is part of growth. That's how I can keep my chin up.

Growth is expensive. Never-ending. Tiring. Exhausting.

Me and My Society - Part 1

Image
Society, what actually it means to a guy like me who lives with friends away from their homes? As per me, the scope and impact of society differ for people with the profession and the place where they live. At an early age, introduction to society and our participation in social activities is made through our family, school, and playgrounds. The exposure gets during that time influences the person's involvement in social activities. After graduation, I had left my home and since then been away. It's been around 7 years. Like me, there are millions of people who for studies and work stay away from family for many years and tend to form their independent social network which has nothing to do with their family's network. Many a time, the emerging trend is that individual social network is more prominent in their case and they have very less to do with their family's network. In my case, I use to be a very shy person who tends to remain quite dormant in social activit...

The Last Year ..

Image
The last year has been the most defining year of my life so far. Seen so many ups n downs that it is not easy to say whether it was good or bad for me. One thing is sure right now I am in all sense be on the low side. One will think since it's been low on all sense then must be a bad year for me, but somehow i can't judge it just by the outcome. Before 2008, I was like driving a truck on rough terrain and now it's been like walking on a highway with no sight of a city or town. On this highway, I meet many people, made great friends. When we are suffering from lots of problems or even riding on too much success .. we tend to miss a lot of small happiness n joyful experiences. Since last November (2008) when got hit by trouble and continually fighting one or another trouble, I spent all my energy. Sometimes being an optimist person one tends to invest too much energy in all things and if one facing a problem for quite some time then this causes fatigue and emotional drain....

Me and My Society - Part 2

(continue from the last post.. Me and My Society - part 1 ) So, where were we.. we were talking about society and its bad-good stuff. Role and responsibility at this level are like diving in sea to check its depth. Before diving, some take a long breath and some don't even blink. But inside this sea, everyone experiences the same energy and colorful life which one cannot even imagine while standing at the seaside. Anyway, by all this, I don't want to say I have been there, at the sea bottom. But such experiences give us a hint of what it could be out there. In college, I initially had nightmares, I never knew one need to be shrewd to come up scratch-less through those ragging days. I was among those for whom it was the struggle of life. It was like "What the hell going on ?". It was somewhat like adversity on us. But this adversity compelled us to stay together and really know what we all are. This is some phenomenon which gave me some lessons. This could be o...
