this is (supposed to be) my last one on pain..
thnx u guys - one n all - for carin n cheerin me on these all-too-blue scribblins omine.. thnx shweets, rajesh, monu, myna, deepa, sur, nisch, lakshmi, ac, ash, amit, udita, wd, ws, divya, vidya, nats, alice, mana, sandy, sadiq, arun, dons, malini, jojo, n rest of the gang and ofcourse the anonymous one -annon- for al the support n care n concern.
i shud also say that writin on pain n hurt or nythin negative is not bad in any way.. like i’d told someone, when u write about such topics as pain, lonliness, darkness n other negative stuff - dont let em take over u.. rather write about ‘em all that u want n understand them, their roots n effects and turn what u get out of them into positive energy in dealin with people, situations n relationships. it is then a piece of scribblin becomes complete n meaningful..
these last few lines on pain r dedicated to aradhana, who has “inspired” me to finish off what evolved into a “painful series”:
ther’s no pain that time can’t heal
ther’s no pain that u forever shall feel
pain n hurt, they sure are real
but walk thru em, they’re no big deal
and so the end, but not of pain..
nor mi blogs..
once in a while it happens..
someone comes in your life.
n goes aways jus like that.
no name, no address.
does somethin for you, somethin special.
sometimes u notice it n sometimes u dont.
may b it depends on your level of desperation.
n u realize at some point of ur life or the other -
sometimes sooner, sometimes a lot lot later -
that things wudnt hav been the same without that person.
who was it?
just some good passer-by?
some well wisher u never bothered to ask the name?
an angel sent down?
or somethin written down to happen when it shud?
i’m a person who rely pretty much on my instincts..
it may not sound logical or good,
but i feel that they’re better.
or may b that’s jus anothr instict of mine :P
watever.
but this thing’s been out-of-order lately.
i kno that these gut feels don work all the time..
well that’s ok.
but i jus don like it when nothin works
for as long as whole a week! >: (
isnt it tru that we really dont kno wat truly makes us happy?
i mean we only compare to the others,
wishin if we had wat they hav we’d b happy..
n when we hav it we think that was not the one
and look around for another one.
if only we knew..
wat if u stumbled on a magic lamp..
n a gini comes out askin for ur 3 wishes?
wat wud u ask for?
world peace? b rich?
a beautiful partner?
b famous?
after ur wildestones r over,
think again wat wud u really ask for..
was ther somethin in u that u wanted very much that
wudreally satisfy u /make u happy
..but u cudnt tell the xact thing?
y do ppl consider darkness to b evil
n light goodness.
i mean wat do they gotto do with humans?
is it a thought rooted in us.
(like they say geometry is?
hard-wired into our brains?)
light : life :: darkness : death ?
or has it got more implications / meanings?
watever the story is, i kno one thing for sure..
ther’s a hell lot we do not kno !
it was shwets blog - http://tinyurl.com/enmnq -
that brought back these memory..
it was my last football tournament in jeddah.
after the 8th std exams.. we’d reached the finals.
a long hard match..
n ever since we took the lead 2 goals to 1,
the match seemed to b goin eternal.
we wer playin defensive now.
minutes felt like hours..
a redcard for us n we wer down to 10 guys.
10 mins to full time..
they wer goin mad now. they wer the winners for the last two yrs.
loosin this was unthinkable. they wer gettin hostile.
a risky challenge n i was tryin for a counter attack to ease their endless attacks.
still donno how but i was down n hurt very badly.
was painin like hell.. n i told my captain i cant play..
we had no substitutions left.
n 9 can never hold againist 11 angry players.
n this moment i’ll never forget..
one of my team-matescame up to me n said:
“u can control pain. but not destiny..
u have to make it happen. hav to try..
c’mon .. “
may b i’d heard wat he saidor may b not.
but i didnt wanna let him down.
n so i got up to get fouled again.
n again.. but we defended well.
n i did make a good save too.
we held on good n went on to win.
like always,
i thought a lot about wat he said.
how tru it was.
pain is somethin we can control.
it’s hard but we can.
to sadiq my frnd,
who loves to eat.
eats to live,
n lives to eat.
spl thnx to deepa n himanshu for the sparks..
infatuation is like a pack of ptato chips,
looks n tastes gud, but u never can hav too much..
romance is like a bar of chocolate,
sweet, lingerin for a long long time..
love’s like a cup of coffee
an addiction, a world of its own
marryin’s like havin coffee n chocolate cake together,
donno wat’ll taste bitter n which one’ll b sweet
n life? well now, that’s a buffet.
it’s all about wat u choose to take..
easy to say.
the most frequently-given-out advise.
(shows concern and care in the giver)
one of the all time best tips/suggetions.
awards r many for this one..
u shold start excersin daily..
or atleast a few days week.. good for u.. ur health..
the explanations/tips/suggestions r endless.
(as long as they’re not at the receivin end)
well, guess i shud soon start compiling info on
a 101 reasons y u shudn’t excersice.
yes!
life jus aint that short!
its about time we change that stupid mantra of
“life is short, so blah blah blah…!
it really is long enough..
let me support dat:
- biologically: an average of even 60 yrs is a very good long one among mammals.
- logically: if we don no the beginin of life how do we say this is the end?
- spiritually: more than 98% of people belive in some religion/faith and all of them point to a new life ahead?
ok. so i say quit that mantra and believe u got a purpose n life aint that short..
stop scarin urself sayin “life’s short, life’s short” n endin up livin short of it!
