this is something i had written in my about me after my first year after an academically disappointing second semester.
The winds of misfortune, the tides of frustration ,the storms of disaster all go against the unsheltered, harm the unharmed, torcher the untorchered.....all test your patience and perseverance ... such is life ... IS THIS LIFE ???
What is the very aim of life ... the meaning of existence ... the use of this life span..................?
I’m in search of this universal truth ...searching ... searching for some kind of solace …some kind of peace of mind... some kind of aim in life.
But I believe in searching with a smile...with optimism….. with hope …. with love.... with light ... in my heart so as to be happy ... but is my happiness the only thing.... its all a matter of questions.... unanswered questions.... answers of which I’m yet searching .....
People come and go in our lives. And then we think how genuine was our relationship with the person. More fundamentally a doubt comes that how genuine was the person ... his laughter... his comments... his actions.
Hence I am at a stage now where people around me are having changes in attitude ... actually they always have changes but now im realizing them and thinking about them. Hence it is a quest to find out the reality of a person who you think is your friend.... but this quest is a near impossible one coz human nature is highly complex.......
I never say life sucks...
It is just at some times that you loose the direction of living and then you sit back and think … again think about the purpose of our life... our existence…
People who say life sucks ...have seen yet nothing in life to pass such an obscure decision.
50 years down the line- say it and ill believe you.
Till then the magic lies in rediscovering yourself... your potentials...your capabilities... your shortcomings
And with these shortcomings and potentials you have to make the most of your lives … keeping yourself and all around you happy … cause till we come to any certain answers there is only this feeling of high that happiness gives us which gives us the purpose of living life…

u won't understand life even after 50 yrs down the line n if u do then ur quest will b statisfied n u will b content wid watever u hv gained thru introspection.once statisfied there is no growth or progress.as far as complex human nature is concerned yes we all hav that. but if u r really close to sm person u can predict his/her behaviour and wat u feel the 'change in attitude', is one of his/her mood. n u r gud at predicting that ;)

once u discover the truth of life then the journey of life will not finish but just become all the more meaningful... u will work towards that truth rather than just muhn - marooing idhar udhar ..

Ah..mr. philosophical :)
ReplyDeleteLife, happiness and existence...questions oft-asked, by everyone, and barely ever answered. Some say the journey the quest itself is what it is, without a definite end, and come to think fo it, even thats not a too bad proposition.
The peace and solace that u r searching for, can easily be found, in every single moment that u manage to live with truth, with honesty and with love. With a smile is hw this quest must be undertaken else it is lost..
The purpose of life...i dont know...to each his own...but make sure u dont forget to live the journey in the haste of reaching the zenith.

ReplyDeleteBatu Khan once said (i m just quoting): u need not live life with such complexities...its as simple as it seems complex...the universe has no beginning and no end...and theres no purpose attached to ones life...everybody who is trying to find the purpose of life is wasted in his quest because it never existed...every single thing is contained within the nothingness of life...so better to chill out and let everything go at its own pace and style...since in any case u cant do anything....11
ReplyDeleteonce u discover the truth of life wat will u work towards (u said :u will work towards that truth rather than just muhn - marooing idhar udhar ..) ??? at least wen u r unaware n thinkin u r rediscovering urself and njoyin the mystery life unfolds everytime....givin u its surprises its pains its luv...so lets not discover wat life is....lets discover wat we are!!!

@suyash ... batu khan
lol .... its quite expected to get such a response from u ... but man this is one thing i admire abt u .. to enjoi each moment of life ... trust me that is a very gud approach ... but there are some instances when u think .. and this blog is just a part of those moemnts ...
In the long run, you'd realise, the only bit that makes u peacefully happy is the honest one
