Winds & Waves

Is it that we find life to be a journey where the traveller itself is unaware of the destination? Well frankly speaking this is not a valid question. I should rather be asking this question to me. Who decides what we are supposed to do? Where we want to go in our life? This does not means that one should not have any goal in his or her life. But if I am to be like this what will I become then?

When we lead a life which is passive and non-responsive to the surroundings, we actually reduce our ability to sense the subtleties of life. This is not the end of it, in fact its the beginning of the misery. The biggest drawback being that those around you find you to be a passive and dormant team player. In reality this may not be the case. If we assume things, we make perceptual error of judgement.

The Story Begins

In the most simplest terms I am a unique living assembly of certain disparate atoms belonging to a universal superset wherein lies a complex interaction of various dependent & independent entities comprising Space, Time, Matter, Energy & the TSA (Transfinite Supreme Authority);popularly known as the God. I said "simplest" because it is neither contradicting nor inconsistent a description so to speak

Not unlike any other individual my life has had been a series of actions & outcomes; related as well as unrelated to each other. I think three things have mattered in this regard & they are Choices, Decisions& Events wrapping me, & carrying me forward towards the unknown from the unknown. Choices are in the form of options available to me to choose a particular course of action; decisions are the act of selecting those choice(s) & events are the incidental outcomes in this whole process. This process continues sine die & after covering a distance when I look back at the path traversed under thick layers of time & space is nothing but an experience for me. There have been many such experiences simply because an experience for me is a function of people & circumstances; coupled with my own conscious as well as unconscious effort to internalise those happenings in a positive manner.

Based on the typical & specific spiritual, socio-cultural, religious & intellectual psychic conditioning I have had certain views, opinions, biases, predilections etc. which may or may not be in accordance with that of the others. And it has played a significant role in shaping my Personality in totality.

People & Circumstances in my opinion are the two aspects of life which I deal with in my day-to-day life. Being a maverick to an extent, I deal with them in both customary as well as unconventional ways. And very recently I have decided to "not to be beaten by people or circumstances or both" an idea borrowed from the life of Madam Marie Curie.

Three traits of being a human being are paramount as far as handling the pressures & demands of today's hectic life style are concerned & they are Willingness, Capability, & Attitude to take challenges head-on & strive for excellence not compromising with my principles. These traits differentiate a so-called successful person from a so-called unsuccessful person.

I easily identify with people having either constructive intellect or honesty as well as a combination of both which is a rarity. Acquiring intellect is difficult; acquiring constructive intellect is more difficult but being honest at the same time every single time along with constructive intellect is the most difficult pursuit. Although I fail miserably most of the times in this regard but nevertheless I strive to do that, on a continual basis.

I think the world plus its people is much better a place than we assume it to be. The only thing needed is to try & understand what others are trying to say and arrive at a consensus be it a home, an office, an institute, a govt. or the whole universe in its entirety. Harmony is the key to peace, prosperity, eternal happiness and order.
