Wow! you have made a lot of growth and matured a lot in this past year! What a wonderful comment on life! You have hit it very closely. We prefer to do what is easy because it is always what we have done. We do need to look beyond the moment sometimes or we will never grow onward. Very well said!

Very Well Written Dude!!

I'm not even 50 yet and sometimes I feel old. When I look at those teenagers sometimes I think: i never was that young! Feeling old has nothing to do with age. I have met a woman who is over 80 and she's running around, goes skiing and much more.
Good choice Elouise, keep on learning, keep on wondering, keep on searching.

First of all I must say that it is a beautiful post. You have well described the feeling that resides in a person who is getting older. The best part was that with a tinge of pathos you have left sense of inspiration of accepting changes with time.

The comparisons are great and the way you have started is dramatic..

It is both a sad and a happy story, Anand. This one touched me deeply. On the one hand, the woman show good love and protectiveness for her own child. On the other hand, she is showing disrespect and poor love for the retarded girl. It tell us nothing about the retarded girl, but speaks volumes about the selfishness and disrespect for others in the woman herself. Such behaviours disgust me immensely. I also felt your anger at the placement of the luggage. What a rude thing to do.

What makes us, as a people, treat others so unkindly? Wen we do something so very disrespectful, are we not telling the world that we are not worthy of God's love? That we are not worthy of the respect of our fellow man? That we are low on the values that make life good and important?

I have watched such actions in silence for many years. Does that not make me responsible for more poor treatment of others? By choosing not to interfere, am I allowing disrespect to grow? Or am I protecting myself at the cost o the little girl's self respect?

Why can we not behave as gentle people? We do know we have it inside ourselves. If the girl had been part of my family, then would I have acted differently? I think so. But we forget that we are all one family here on this earth. The family of our creator. I would like to see more people acting towards others as family, not as lower then them and not worth respect.

Love is boundless, most simple and overpowering emotion that can make or mar a person. It has two faces just like a coin. One is +ve and the other -ve. The best part is you cannot choose, you are given either a +ve side or a -ve side.

Freedom is the most misunderstood word. Freedom to do anything is not only dangerous but also makes you inconsequential if it is not given with some responsibilities.Freedom must be utilized with utmost care as it is like a slippery Glass filled with promises, if you are not careful you stand to lose everything.

Love is an emotion which binds and makes you do things against your wishes in the hope of reaching some stage that you desire but it is in most if not all cases a MIRAGE. The wait, anticipation, struggle or the journey has all the sweet bitterness and it is an anti climax when you actually reach the point.

But without desire and aspirations whether reasonable or not, our life loses it's charm.

I think i will stop for now and let others dissect me.

2010-07-22T00:18:28.901+05:30

One will always have fear. There are so many fears around life. The trick is to stop the fear from stopping you. Don't let the fear prevent you from making new relationships, making new friends, exploring new areas of interest, or taking a risk to gain benefits.
Fear is a healthy emotion. It breeds caution. It can only take over our lives if we let it.

Great post, Anand. But are we not also slaves to our society and its norms? If we lived in a place where all yellow skinned people are shunned, then would we not also believe that yellow-skinned people should be shunned? Personally, my beliefs tell me that it is not so. We shun no one. Yet, I have been shunned by others in my society. Let's see whaere that idea may take us

2010-06-21T00:56:53.556+05:30

Of course second one is better but nature again doesn't allow us to choose what we like.It always imposes upon us the way it want to mold us because nature knows our capability and incapability both.To make us more stronger it always compel us to do what we fear to do.

2010-06-19T17:27:05.182+05:30

This post is very interesting and true. Nobody is ever REALLY free. We are all slaves to our needs, and there is not a person in the world without needs.
Anand, you have always had a gift to get your facts spot on.

2010-05-20T12:05:03.597+05:30

Events, things and emotions you take with great feeling makes a space in your subconscious mind and be there for long time, sometimes for the whole life time.

Small jobs which we do now and then are our requirements that we have to do to live.... That we so consciously with an intention of getting that updated with a new series of progressive work..!!

2010-05-20T02:23:50.746+05:30

Eloise,

that is a great story. It must be a huge challenge for you to deal with this.

It teaches also that it helps to listen to your inner voice when looking for something.

Important is what is dear to your heart. As long as you can remember this and finding ways to care about that it is great.

Embrace what is dear to your heart, it brightens your day

What a poignant reminder. This life is fleeting, and should be embraced completely. Live each day like it was the last, and they are fuller than you can imagine.

I know my memory isn't what it once was, but am not yet fearful I will lose the car (for more than a moment or two =)

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story and video. What a great compliment they are to each other.

2010-05-02T12:12:37.565+05:30

Shiv, you have laid emphasis on some reasons behind death and life. This makes me feel that death and life are outcome of some specific reasons. You have talked about a FORCE responsible for death or LIFE.

Whereas, I have felt, after reading somewhere, that DEATH is but a transition ....

2010-05-01T17:15:49.846+05:30

There are more dead people than living. And their numbers are increasing. The living are getting rarer.

Make death a part of life by understanding that life without death is incomplete. As soon as we are born, we begin to die.

I think this extract from chandogya Upanishad shall explain death and life better, it goes like this:

There is some law which works in some peculiar manner on account of which we are compelled to follow this course known as transmigration. Is anyone prepared to die? But we have no say in the matter. We will die one day or the other. But why should we die? Who tells you that you must die? No one knows this. And if somebody is born, well, it is doubtful if anyone is born due to the personal wish of anyone. There is some force working behind. So is the case with every kind of experience through which we pass. We do not know what will happen to us tomorrow. So much is our ignorance, so that it appears that we are utterly humiliated beings, shamefaced in every way, ignorant to the core and completely subject to the law of forces of which we have absolutely no knowledge. People are born; you know people die. This much of knowledge we do have. And, perhaps, we have also a knowledge that certain actions that we perform are responsible for our births and deaths and our experiences in life. The good that we do brings good experiences, the pleasant ones; and the bad ones produce contrary results. This much of information we have gathered by study, hearing etc. But this is not the knowledge that will liberate us.

Death comes in a variety of emotions be it the unknown,fear,frightening,anger, giving up, accepting. It is hard to see and to be in it. In the end for both the journey can be beautiful and peaceful

Ahh! Talking about a story touching home, Anand!
I just happened to post an anecdote story about my own father passing. It just happened last month so as you could imagine, it is still very hard for me to talk about it. I felt, however, that a tribute was in order and that's what my post is about.
It's the first on the blog , just as yours is, so you can't miss it. Also, let me thank you for your timely subscription. I "guess" everything must happen for a reason.
All the best,
