Isn’t half of the things in our life decided by the time we born ? It’s just destiny that someone born as Rahul Gandhi and the other born as a disabled person among the poorest of poor. I bet if Rahul Gandhi or just someone like him had not done anything throughout his life, even then he lived like King on the other hand the poor has to toil 100 times more to earn 100 times less than him. In our life, later or sooner we have to accept whatever life has given to us, because acceptance is the only thing we can do. We believe in Destiny, we believe in Stars. Whatever We believe but its fact that this world is a better place to live in, when everyone starts from the same place. How can we judge who is good and who is not, when all are starting from different points.

Throughout my life one constant thing that I noticed  is sometimes people who don’t deserve a shit gets everything and the ones who deserve everything gets nothing, whatever it is, Be it job, be it friendship, Be it love or be it promotion. In any case luck matters. Sometimes it matters more and sometimes less, but in short it matters.  Those who attain a certain degree of wisdom call it Karma, than luck. They believe that Karma travels between  our birth hence a lot in this birth is explained by our previous Birth’s work. But if the concept of previous Birth, Karma is logical in Todays scientific world ? Life is not at all fair, but when you say you shall found yourselves surrounded by many, some of them call you pessimist, some of them call you unsatisfactory soul. But they don’t know that sometimes Truth is Bitter.

Once a good friend of mine told me, what would you do if you come to know that The forthcoming year is not going to be good for you , Would you stop worrying ? So its of no use. How many times we know that things are not right but we have to do them because we don’t have another option. Same here, Life is fair or unfair, we have to live it diligently. Because the fact is Everyone dies but not everyone truly lives. What all we can do is to hope best, have faith in God, to breathe slowly, admire the beauty, to love all those who love us and to love those more who hates us. This is the only way we can live happily. Because Life may be fair or unfair and its not in our hand but happiness is in our hand, and to be happy its not necessary that everything is fair.

Since the day we Indians are born, we found ourselves surrounded by corruption. For birth-certificate to Death-certificate, we need to pay bribe. We have no option because we believe that a stupid common man can do nothing. When someone else starts fighting for it, he becomes our hero. History is full of such heroes. Nowadays we found someone in our street, someone in our locality, someone in our city fighting for something. Do they deserve to be our Hero ? Yes, if they are fighting for us, not for fame or name. Today its very easy to become hero, pick a sensitive topic related to culture, religion or heritage. Find some person who is trying to deteriorate it and start fighting with him. You will soon become hero and will be compared with Gandhi, Teresa and other philanthropic creatures.

In recent days, Ramdev covers newspaper more than advertisements, earlier they used to cover the maximum portion but Ramdev had overtook them. Some are comparing Ramdev with Gandhi while others are seeing God in him, who took avtar to remove corruption form nation. Is it fair to compare Ramdev with Gandhi ? Gandhi was fighting against British ,they were like dictators and ruling over us without our desire. On the other hand, the govt that we have today is the one that we had voted yesterday. 70 years back we had no constitution, There was no democracy.   But now, we have Democratic govt, a democracy is considered to be the most powerful force that exists on this universe. We have the biggest constitution in this world, what’s the use of it if we are not going by it.

It seems very easy to curse things. Its not easy to govern the largest Democracy of the world, but still we are blessed to be governed by a man who got D.Phil from University of Oxford and Economic tripos from University of Cambridge, and we still think that we are in wrong hands.

How many of us really know about Ramdev demands.? 70% of the persons who were there on the Ramlila ground didn’t know 50% of what exactly Ramdev wanted and what were his demands, What they knew was someone was fighting against corruption and they had to support him. Ramdev is demanding abolishment of Rs1000 notes and Rs500 currency notes, so that people are not be able to take bribe, Is it feasible ?, what if they start taking it in dollars, Abolishing 500 or 1000 notes seems to be the stupidest method of curing corruption. He asked to disable the operations of any bank which belongs to a country that is a tax haven. To replace British-inherited system of governance, administration, taxation, education, law and order with a swadeshi alternative. Till date all my attempts to understand this vague word “Swadeshi” has gone in vain. My knowledge about things state that things are either right or wrong, good or bad. How can we differentiate between things because of their radix. Most of the languages of world including Italian and Chinese were derived from Sanskrit. If they can adopt good things from us, why not we.? He is demanding to promote Hindi at the expense of English. Is he now trying to cut us from the rest of world?

Ramdev who is speaking so much about and against corruption and asking to make wages of different categories of labourers uniform across the country, Himself imposes different fees for ones who sit in first row to the ones who sit in last in his shivirs.

The man who is fighting for publicity and not for corruption is taking the name of 400 lakh crore rupees in foreign banks to be deposited in govt. fund. But he himself had a turnover of 1200 crores in just one year(2009-2010). How can someone who is teaching Yoga philanthropically can earn so much. Its only when we do business we can earn so much money.

How many of us know that Ramdev, owns a complete Island, people used to own an apartment, a house and a bungalow but the yoga king owns a complete island near Scotland. When he was asked about it, he said he should teach yoga there. Either we Indians are super dumb or he is super intelligent. In anycase if we are supporting him, we are going against our govt and we ourselves are becoming the hurdles in smooth functioning of our govt. Let not Ramdev be next Lord Macaulay.

Lets take an example of Drinking When someone starts Drinking the First excuse he gives is “Do try everything in Life” and when this Trying becomes repeatable the excuse comes is “Drinking is bad only, if you are addicted to it, occasional drinking is never bad”. Later on when the frequency of these occasions increases and their time period decreases and one finds himself addicted to it, the next excuse is “Drinking is never bad until and unless after drinking you do something that is REALLY BAD” and when he starts doing something REALLY BAD the excuse is he can’t do anything because the things are now, not in his hand. So we found that how a simple excuse can change the things.

Giving excuse is never difficult. We can completely conclude a scenario or situation in simply few sentences or words. But at the same time, a voice from our inner soul, must question ourselves, our ability but later on when the frequency of these excuses increases we start overhearing that feeble voice.

When we failed in an exam, we have a wonderful universal excuse that Question Paper was tough, But there always exist a person who have performed well in that exam, If he can that why can’t we. We give excuse to ourselves when we break up with our near and dear ones saying that they are not honest and we are wrong in judging them. But how one person who once sounded perfectly perfect can turn into malevolent. They may for sometime behave undesirably but that doesn’t mean they have changed. What actually has changed is our opinion towards them and inspite of accepting it we gave ourselves lame excuses.

Life can be far better and perfect, if we stop giving ourselves excuses. Excuses are nothing but our weaknesses. If we are passionate about doing something then we never give any excuse. Moreover, if anyhow we have made mistake then its better to accept it than to make an excuse. Excuses lead to nowhere.

In the end all that matters is.. how you faced the time when you finaly realised those were just LIES and how truthful you were..

We may ask “Wouldn’t life be much better if these lies were never told ?”

But the true fact, which is yet HARDER is, when you realised that, the times you lived on those big LIES were the best times of your LIFE..

Got it as forward but found it worth sharing.

The very tendency of human nature is we never thank God when we reside in the crest, but when it comes to trough, we curse him. Everything happens for a reason. God is the best director who at the same time directs so many movies but not a single movie got flopped. There comes a point in everyone’s life, when  he looses all the hope in life, he starts cursing God, his life and foremost himself. Without realizing the fact that that is the only point which can change his life. If that point doesn’t come the things shall happen in the way they were happening. Monotonicity is the worst thing in the world. Try to fight a battle even if you are not sure whether you win. Try to sit in an exam, even if you are not sure, you’ll pass and try to love even if you know you lost. Be honest and forget the consequences. Do your best and leave the rest. Try to do everything in your life, so that when you die, you shall not feel sorry for anything that you wanted to do but you couldn’t. Your life is like a movie make it worth watching.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it took some time to understand that reason. At time reason may not satisfy us but they are for our betterment. Be honest in your life and believe that nothing wrong can happen. The thing might not take place in the way we want but later we realize there was a reason for that. If there comes a point in your life, when you loose all the things that you have achieved so far, then accept it as God’s desire and carry on. Sometimes, the things that we can’t change, ends up changing us and those changes really change our life. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Thank God for making you stronger and adding flavour in your life.

Be a dreamer in life but ready to accept the situation when dreams shattered in front of you. Love someone in your life but be ready to accept the fact if she doesn’t love you. Have faith in god and yourself. A good intention and good desire can never get wrong. In fact when you are honest and your intentions are good, whole universe conspires to let your dreams achieved. Be optimistic in life and enjoy all its colour.

Questions are never difficult, what makes them difficult are their answers, and sometimes the questions which seem to be easiest are in fact the toughest. It was some six years back I got an opportunity to read Nehru’s Discovery of India. It was neither by choice nor by chance but it was just a part of my course curriculum, I had to study it. There was a chapter in the book named Life’s philosophy. I toiled with best of my health and spirit to get the essence of it. But I was not mature enough to digest it. Though there was not a single difficult word in the chapter nor the way it was written considered bad, in fact good writing skills was the only worth quality of Nehru. The fact is topic itself was difficult and philosophical one.

How can we define Life..? In fact we can’t define anything. When we try to define something we are just putting our opinion about that, that is bounded by its traits and characteristics. Till yet I never got a satisfactory answer of the question who are you..?? There are many thousands of people who share the same name along with same Father’s name. Everyday millions of people born at the same timestamp, so what makes us unique to define ourselves..? Anyhow being human we learn the art of confusing very soon if we failed to learn the art of convincing. But still there are some questions which fascinates me and they include What is Life..? What is the sole purpose of our life..? and what is the irony of our Life..?

Well when we entered this world we are loved by everyone, when we left this world we are admired by everyone but in between these two, the amount of love and admiration we got defines our life. Everyone dies but not everyone truly lives and the irony of our life is it goes on. When a child is born, his world is limited to his parent. According to him their exist only two persons in this world and that are his parents, because they are the only one whom he saw, but as he grows up he meet new faces and create his own life. His life in no way then dependant on his parents even when they left him he lived in the same way and so the life goes on.

The irony of our life lies in the fact throughout our life we desire to let the things happen in the way we want them to happen. We have certain expectations from our life and when these expectations remain unfulfilled, we lost the essence of life. Life is not only a bed of roses but also a path of thorns. Those who accept this fact truly smell the fragrance of life.

We have to realize the fact that the life we are living actually comprises of moments and these moments are unique, once they passed away they shall never be back. Sometimes we wanted to get back in life to say sorry to few persons whom we lost because we didn’t apologize at the right time. Sometimes we wanted to get back in life to confess our love for person whom we deeply loved, but never expressed because we didn’t have courage, without realizing that the two most painful thing in our life is when our lover loves us and he/she didn’t tell it to us and the other one is when he/she didn’t love us and we fell it. Life is a one time opportunity which must be spent precisely and carefully. When we were born we were the sole owner of our life but as we grow up we realized that we are someone’s brother, we are someone’s son, we are someone’s friend and lastly but significantly we are someone’s heart. So our life is not only ours and hence we must be conscious to build best out of it.
The irony of life lies in the fact that there is always a true love and unforgettable heartbreak in every life, but the more ironical is the way we break after such heartbreaks. We never want anything wrong in our life. We want the persons whom we love to be with us throughout their lives and if by chance they left us we walked away from our life. How can and why should we waste our life for someone who doesn’t worth it.

The irony or our life lies in the fact that dreams always fascinates us, we dream to be someone else without realizing that we are unique and by doing so we ourselves are killing that unique identity. We look at those who are above us but we forget that their exists a world below us. We laughed at someone if he’s not fair looking without realizing the fact he is not at all responsible for his looks. We wanted to be single when we are committed and we wanted to be committed when we are single.

We can create our life in the way we want. In fact we are solely responsible for everything that exists and happens in our life, so we should never regret about anything because if its good, its wonderful and if not then an experience. We have to realize the fact that everyone can make a living but not everyone can make a life..
