There is no point in grinding axe with life,
even when life makes you grind your teeth in exasperation.
It helps to
be kind to life and embrace it with affection than look at it with some sort of
vengeance and be sour in your heart about it .What did you think ……life was
your mother in law or what? Life, just by its sheer existence is doing
something called service to you because
if it did not …you would not be here breathing
and reading this wonderful piece of bunkum logic.
As long as
life decides to favour you by being with you , you can decide to do this or that or nothing but,in the absence of life you
can not decide to do even nothing except
may be once in a while turning in your grave although I have no experience to
substantiate this . And ,to be able to decide is a wonderful feeling even if it
is turning in your living grave of
moronic beliefs.
I have decided to be thankful to the life ,as
it is given to me. I am thankful not only because it has allowed me to
move myself each day literally and
figuratively with the experiences
which it has been keeping
on the shelf for me relentlessly. The simple inane looking experiences which
only a nincompoop would choose to
ignore and stay uncorrupted one in its
original form.
I am indebted to life foremost because so far it has not taken me very seriously, just
like many other uncountable souls in my
life, and did not implement any serious
plan to teach me lessons. There were of
course some small doses of learning here
and there but,they were plainly and solely on my own accord. Some lessons were
learnt the hard way , some in the passing but it was never the life’s serious plan to teach me. What I learnt- I learnt owing
to my own initiative i.e. whenever I
agreed to learn from those experiences.
On my learning path ,life just agreed
to not interfere or stay absent.
LESSON 1: Love is not so easy to detect
So the
biggest lesson I learnt is that love does not come packaged in shiny wrapping
and blue ribbon. It bloody comes in
disguise and you should be trained better than
a security person in any Indian mall or theatre who looks with utter disinterest in a woman’s bag to detect a gun or a
grenade. Never think of a place as impossible
to find love. A couple of days back I collected the honey potion of love from an old aunt from my childhood
neighbourhood. She was very upset with
me that I have sent my son to a hostel
when there were options to keep him at home. Her complaint was a trash but her love was worth her my weight
in gold. Her actual words were ( bade
ayee jo apne bacchhe ko hostel bhej diya
which literally translates as –what did you think of yourself to send
him to hostel) If her authority is not
love then what is?
LESSON 2: Count your blessings and name them one by one
My another
lesson is ,it’s Ok to make mistake in counting money but never make mistake in
counting your blessings because banks anyway depend upon counting machine but blessing counting machine ,sorry boss !
you have to install it yourself in your heart. Feel blessed that someone called
you JUST LIKE THAT, someone noticed
your hurt despite your dry eyes, someone hugged you for nothing, someone kept
that small little piece of kaju katli for you.
LESSON 3: Tit for tat is a bad idea
However
convincing it may sound but I have experienced otherwise. Tit for tat is a good
idea only if your family and friends are criminals ,and
your neighbours are terrorists. For all other regular angry people without ammunitions
around you , folks! do not get into the spiral of titting and tatting. If you go
on a spree of tit- tit -tit for every tat ,
someone does to you then I am afraid you do not have focus to do anything better
which might or might not be seen as tat by them. Move on I suggest. There is
more to do in life than TFT game.
LESSON 4:
Same window different picture
I do not know if you have experienced this before or not that two people stand in front of the same window yet see the different pictures. If some people in the world have a proclivity to see everything southwards ,you can not go on tilting their neck to make them see left right and centre. You are giving them spondylitis and yourself heartburns. See what you see and just shut up. Do not tell them what you have seen is different or what they missed to see. Bloody who appointed you to be their cicerone (I am here to give you gyan on life and not to improve your word power, see the link for yourself to know the meaning –all you ignoramous folks. The Chinese battery of my halo is dying ,can’t you see?).

LESSON
5: Always look for the best pair of legs in life
hold on! hold on !! I SAY, HOLD ON PLEEEZ! I never mentioned JeLo or
Beyonce’. Nope! Never! Ever! It was only your dirty mind. I have nothing to do
with it.I am Still focused on the lessons .
Breathe deep
! Inhale ……SO,I was saying that there are many types of legs we come across in
life.
The ones
which kick you on ,you know where, for the job not well done .Although you did
all the leg work of the job ,they use
theirs to kick you.
The ones
which fold towards the stomach type ie
,instinctively these legs take side with people of their own clan. No rationality ,no logic ,no sentiments they only ingratiate.
The best
ones are the ones which allow you to pull theirs and take the liberty to pull
yours.
People, Look
for these legs and keep pulling them until they are a mile long and give Julia Roberts a good run for her legs money.
And now, you
can exhale!!!
