The man and the donkey

I don't like listening to All India Radio FM because I feel the radio jockeys are still in that pre- freedom era, they have a monotonous style of presenting the show and needless to say all shows are boring. But sometimes ( read sometimes) they have interesting things to share and this story narrated by one of the anchors caught my eye. So it goes like this :


Once upon a time a man had a donkey. The man used to take the donkey everywhere. So one day as usual they go out for a journey. After hours of traveling the distance, the man decides to stop for a while. He sees that there is a well near by and thinks that why not get some water for himself. Somehow while fetching water from the well, the donkey gets pushed in the well. He looks out for options but is not able to find a way to get the donkey out. Although the man loves the donkey but since he couldn't find options to take him out he decides to leave the donkey in the well. But before leaving the place, he thinks that since the well is used to fetch water, he should better kill the donkey and cover it with sand. He starts throwing sand in the well. When the donkey comes to know that his master is soon going to kill him, he starts making noises loudly. After some time, there is no noise from the well. The man wonders what has happened. He looks into the well and finds out that the donkey is collecting the sand at one place and stepping on it. As soon as the man throws some more sand, he steps on it further. This process goes on until the donkey reaches at some height of the well,plunges out and runs away.

Quite long story which could have been said in a very few words.

Moral: Life is also the same. We have many problems,many things that keep us worried. Just like the donkey we have to find a solution to end those problems, step over them and move on.....

Its all about me....

Daily we come across instances where we have to make decisions between right and wrong.situations where we have to decide between what to do and what not to do. Sometimes it works out great and sometimes it just fails. Either we rejoice or cry or crib, we forget and we move on....but its very rare that we realise the lesson learnt out of it.

I guess we all never make an effort to analyze our decisions and try to extract concrete conclusions out of it. If we learn this art, as I call it...it can change us in a positive way. I think I have become less impulsive. There were situations in my life where I know I acted impulsively, but I never made an effort to improve it. I am happy that I have realised a lot of things other than this, that I wouldn't have otherwise due to some events that took place this year. A crucial year, as I mentioned in one of my previous posts has completely changed my outlook towards life.

But certain changes do come with side effects ;) I feel I have become 'over' practical. Sometimes I don't care about things which should matter and this is something I need to do away with...

Mind @ peace

My very good friend Rahul reminded me two weeks ago (ahem ahem, the realisation process took place today ;) ) that my effort to reinstantiate blogging has been in vain because I havent updated anything for a really long time. I guess this post comes after forty five days !!!

Nevertheless, here I am again reviving my blogging efforts.....timely!

After a really long time, my mind and heart is at peace. Slowly everything is taking place in the right manner (fingers crossed). After strenous schedule, I can finally ease out a little bit.

Happy. Calm. Relaxed.

These were the few things I was certainly looking forward too.

Gee.. I am famous :)

Well, this picture was clicked 3 years back, when me and my friend were rushing for admissions at DU( I guess this is Miranda college or Ramjas College)... But its printed on the cover page of City Bhaskar, JAIPUR(dated 9th July 2008). I dont know how??? And its states it as a picture of some random JAIPUR college :P where admission process has recently started :)

The past six months....

Its not been easy.....
It is July,half way through the year and for one moment I haven't had one moment of peace in my mind. There is so much going on in life. Its not exactly about me, but more or less about the people in my life. I have experienced every emotion in great measures. Excessively joyous and intensely sad, extremely tensed and effortlessly placid.

I haven't been able to chalk out a single instance which could be just for me.  Where I could just be myself, without worrying what will happen next, and what others might think. Where I do not have to think of any consequences, where I do not have to limit myself for a certain period of time. 

Certainly, it has been a crucial phase.

I feel I have changed a lot. I feel I think a lot (lately). I feel I have started to analyse circumstances from a different perception, which wasn't the case sometime back. There have been some instances which have completely changed my outlook towards life, towards the people I care and towards the people I love. 

I am not thinking whether these changes are for the good,the bad or the worse. I am not thinking why I think too much. Instead I am glad for the fact that as a person I have realised certain things which otherwise I wouldn't have. And all this in the six months passed by. :-)



 

Reasons for losing interest in blogging

So since I came up with a new blog, I am quite eager to post something over here. I have just realized that my previous two blogs I had done the pretty much same thing. Posted for over 5-6 months and then just lost the enthusiasm of posting more. I have my very own reasons for losing interest in blogging which maybe be experienced by many of us out here.

1) The primary and the foremost of all - Time shortage. We run out of time every time.
2) Sometimes we have so much say but inexpressible in words.
3) Many a times we think that we'll blog on this,we'll blog on that but its always impending.
4) Seems stupid, but most of the time, I wonder what to blog about.
5) We see someone blog, and we think we can try our hand at it too. Successful the first couple of times, but lose involvement in it gradually.

These are just some of them.

So as you can see, this is my first day of blogging and I'm already here with two posts. Maybe some more tomorrow. I can pretty much assume that the graph would increase steeply in the coming months with a gradual decline until it becomes constant. Lets hope for the best.

Back the third time...!

After quite a lot (specifically two) of unsuccessful attempts at blogging. I am finally back the third time and this time am sure going to stay. As far as the name of the blog goes, its quite different from what I kept the previous two times. 'StarryPinks' . I have always dreamt of reaching to the stars, and they some how fascinate me. I remember as kid I used to go to the top floor of my house and just look into the night sky. And then it was just me and the stars. Some would shine brightly, some would fade out. I would look out for the constellations and happily tell my father about it. And the next word Pinks. Well,thats what my friends like to call me. Hence the name StarryPinks.
