Let there be light and let there be sight..

I was reading a book while traveling in bus.

The bumpy Indian roads(I added Indian because in movies, the roads outside India are super smooth and anyone can slide on those :P) made it difficult for me to read properly. Still I kept reading because the book is almost on the verge of ending.

This phase is very emotional and painful, when the book’s about to end and we feel drained thinking HOW LIFE WILL BE when this book will be complete? It sucks, I know. I know !

Then a thought popped up, it would be so dreadful to be blind. Not to be able to see. Not to be able to read. Not to be able to distinguish. All things will be black. No shapes. No sizes. No colors. No existence.

Only the others senses will have to prompt about the existence of something. I strongly believe that if we lack one sense, then the power of that sense is distributed among the remaining, which heightens the overall power of the remaining senses. You can contradict on this but this is my personal view. And, I just hope it to be true 🙂

I felt so dreadful thinking about the world being black and nothing visible that I closed the book and sat and OBSERVED things. Saw the things which were always there but I failed to see previously. It was, as if, my inner eye had awakened.

But, the feeling of dread didn’t stay long because then I remembered that I have pledged in written that I will donate my eyes after my demise. Rather, to be correct, I have said this to all my family members, my close friends regarding this because, I can’t donate but they all can try to make my wish fulfilled and not think much about other related things.

I have made my Pledge @ Drushti Daan, an Eyebank in Bhubaneswar, Orissa where we can try and help others unlike us, be like us. We can give others the joy of sight, the joy of laughter, the joy of distinguishing things, the joy of life.

And, my parents and friends have supported me in this also, which is really a big thing. I heartily thank all and would like, if you don’t go and donate, but at least think, THINK once, wouldn’t you want the power of sight if you would had been unable?

It is a big decision, but this decision of yours can decrease the pain and increase the joy of others. And, the most important thing is not only you but also all the people related to you, will be blessed from the core of their hearts.

Try to gather blessings and smiles to your names, rather than some coins and notes made of thin paper. The former will always outweigh the later.

Stay blessed and keep sharing you views.

Mental Indigestion..

Are you ready to die today?

A simple question, which can bring back fears and sorrow to you and also to your near and dear ones. No one is ever ready, I guess.

If you’re ready, then man, you’re at peace with your life and have lived it to the fullest and no matter what you got, more happiness or pain, you have accepted that and made your peace with it. You found your closure.

We are a moving vessel of thoughts, imaginations, hope, trust, promises, sacrifices, love, betrayals, mood-swings, double-crossings and many more. We have either done these things or have been on the receiving end and also the combination of both.

At the end, we gotta understand the natural fact that we are humans. We make mistakes, even blunders and desire for forgiveness. But does our desire meet what we deserve?

Sometimes we are forgiven but mostly we are punished, if not physically then torture or separation or something related. At that moment, we think it’s better to die and be done with all these. But, is it real?

If we die, we won’t feel anything, not the pain or the happiness. There will be no WE. No I. There will be nothing. Not even nothing.
So, if hard days are what you are going through, then talk it out. Share it with your closest of friends. Or better, write it down.

No one needs to know, if you are not okay with that. But, don’t keep it all inside. It creates mess. Chaos. Indigestion.
Stomach indigestion can be cured with some meds. But, mental indigestion can be fatal. It leads to drastic, life-changing decisions, which should be avoided at all cost.

See how powerful our little brain. The left portion, which controls our right half of the body and the right portion, which controls the left half of the body, all so wonderful and controlling us. For me, it’s like a temple. And if, some mental indigestion is to occur here, then this EVER SO BEAUTIFUL ABODE will be destroyed and you will never be satisfied.

The best way for that to NOT happen is accept the reality and be social. Talk about the problems and see others perspectives. We never know, someone else’s brain might be more beautiful than ours. And, we can learn from it, make our’s even more evolved. Treasure this beauty, this brain, it’s thoughts, this life. It’s your’s. Not mine, not anybody else’s. Make it beautiful inside and it will surely reflect outside.

We won’t get another life(may be I am implying for re-birth, but in that case also, the situations will be different than the present ones), so hold on to things and make it all count. Love, live, smile. Pain will come and go, just as the happiness. But, it all depends for HOW LONG you hold on to that feeling.

If pain comes, hold it, see it, feel it and then let go. So that, when you encounter it again, you can know, “Oh, this Pain! We have crossed path before and the last time was not so good. I will better skip meeting it this time”. See, it becomes so easy.

If happiness comes, hold it, see it, feel it, enjoy it and here, you can KEEP IT. In your heart, it will always be there as your fondest of memory.

Now, if you have found this kind of happiness and calmness, I think you are ready to die(or you won’t feel regret, if death comes and takes you away) but if not, then work towards this feeling.
When you will encounter, no one knows. But, if you think positive, then that moment will never be far.
You deserve to be happy and everyone desires to be happy.
Let’s try to match our desire and deserve to our best potential.
