Low....

So there are days when i am on the top of the world. I feel like every thing's happening perfectly with me. I skip around for no particular reason and smile at every random incident. But then again there are days when i feel low. Low on confidence. Low on self esteem. Low on happiness. I wont crib by saying that the second type is more frequent than the first one, coz i know it isn't. More likely the ratio of my happy to sad days will be 10:1. But my problem is that when that 1 day does come, i forget every other happy memory. I just sit and cry. And nowadays, i just go numb.
I have a lot of good friends. Friends who encourage me. Friends who keep me happy. But on these days, i need a friend who'll just sit with me and listen to my laments. A friend who will let me cry my heart out without offering advice to me. A friend who will listen to me blaming others without judging me. Simply, a friend who will not constantly tell me that this isn't the end of the world. Rather, a friend who will just let me cry and tell me that i have every reason to be sad. No, i don't mean that i don't like people who have the ability to console others. I love such people. I envy them (coz i cant do more than a "there,there" like Sheldon). But on some days i don't need to be told that i am seeing this world wrong. That i am being hopeless. I need people who will let me self pity myself. But sadly, i cant find anyone like this right now.
Yes i know guys, the fault is within me. But one thing i can't handle is being criticised. I do take healthy criticism in a, well, "healthy" way. But negative comments given negatively are a big NO for me. And that's the reason why i cant stand being told that i shouldn't sit and cry. If i want to do something, i do it. Coz i feel its the right thing to do. At such times i don't take kindly to people telling me i am thinking wrong. Even if i am. That's coz i get grumpy when i am low. So just wait. Don't rush me. I'll be back to my chirpy self in a while. But in the time being, let me curl up and cry myself to sleep. Right now i feel nothing is good. That i am good for nothing. And so just let me be.

DIE- Death Is Expensive

A Tribute                               Khuswant Singh wrote, "People can be divided into givers,takers,suckers and spongers" . My late nanaji, Mr. Rajender Jha was the biggest giver i met in my life. Nani tells me that he used to give his whole monthly salary to the poor even though they weren't very well off themselves and the whole family would then have to spend the month cutting their costs. He was a police officer, a man devoted to public service in the true sense of the word. The most royal person ever. He lived grand. And he died grand. He went on to the heavenly abode last year. There was grief on his death but we had all seen it coming. Had even prayed for it. Its difficult to see your loved one bedridden for a year. Unable to do anything on his own, struggling to live  just so because his family wanted him to. Ever read Shakespeare's Seven Ages poem? Nanaji perfectly described man in his...

A Salute!!

Love U India!!! Happy Independence Day India! :-) All over our country, people celebrate this day in different ways. Some hoist the Tricolour. Some watch Desh bhakti movies (Yeh, the same old Border and Lagaan and LOC Kargil and whatnot!). Some crib about it being a Dry Day (Yeh, seriously!). Then there are also people who are like, "Independence day? Yeh sure. As if anyone really cares about our country, as if we have a good govt., etc etc etc." And some who simply take 15 August as a holiday to enjoy or rest. I don't know to which group i belong. There are years when i actually wear a dress which has orange, green and white in it (i knw, lame). There are years me and my family actually listen to patriotic speeches and songs. But this year, I would simply like to sit back and marvel over our country and its citizens. And especially, salute the true leaders and fighters of our country. India is one country with a plethora of religions and languages. We say we be...

The Hidden Truths

Looks can be deceptive What is visible might not be true There may be hidden feelings Some might not feel what they do. Who are we to judge? Who are we o comment? It’s better to keep our mouths shut. Than to later lament. We can’t see all, We don’t know everything There are hidden truths There are links within links. A . Human nature is to criticize, Human nature is to blame We love to prove ourselves right We love to put everyone to shame. We think we are the best We think we are always right This tampers with our judgment This narrows our sight. We love those who love us And we hate those who criticize We love o hear praises Even if they are all lies. We support those who praise us And ignore those who try to change us We don’t even stop to think, That the latter might be trying to help us! We are quick to blame But slow to forgive We are quick to hate But slow to love and let live. And then when it...
