Shattered But Not Broken....

By


I am shattered but not at all broken…..

“Throughout my life I have seen difficulties, pain, sadness, gloom, anger and worries. I have been subjected to every negative feeling that can cross the minds of any normal human being. I had felt pain to the extremes. The days seemed like volcanic eruptions and bad luck showered on me like rains of fire. Throughout my past, I had only known one feeling. A feeling of emptiness. Anyone I trusted, anyone on whom I was dependent left one by one. It seemed that I was not meant to be guided by anyone, it seemed like I am a wandering dissatisfied soul for whom no one seems to do the last rites as to attain salvation. Alone, sad and worrisome, I was the least necessary person in the whole world. It seemed that the basic aim of my life now was not to achieve anything but to bring back all that I had lost. Unclear in vision, I roamed here and there, door to door, person to person, in the search of happiness and peace. I too wanted a happy life. I too wanted someone to support me. I too wanted someone to ease my pain, to wipe my tears…..”

The above situation of haplessness and hopelessness seems so demotivating and strange. Everyone may think that how a person seems so low about his own life. Why is he seeking such help? What happened to the person? What past is he talking about?

But the basic question, above all, these questions that is necessary at this given moment is that, ‘Don’t we all, as individuals, face such a situation where everything seems like a night. Don’t we ever face a strong negativity around us that do not let us concentrate on the positive points of any particular event or happening?

We all face gloomy days when we feel that no one is there to be by our side. We feel as if we came alone in this world and will ever be lonely and one day end our life cycle without proving anything fruitful to the world, without touching the heart of the special persons in our life. But the point here is, do we ever think if we want to make our own lives happier or want to be in the company of the person who can make us happy? The point is we search for happiness in the outer world when the same solace and contentment is deep within. We often are mistaken by the materialism in this world, in the worldly ways, in the love and craving for this world that we forget the spiritualism within us. The contentment, the door to eternal salvation, the inner happiness can be found once we discover that this material world can surely shatter us but cannot break our real personality. As a person, we can be caught in the materialistic pleasures but our soul has the path towards happiness. We are our own masters. A person who is sad today, a person who feels shattered, the person whose life seem to be at the worst may be facing the situation because he is caught in the cobweb of worldly shackles that are not permitting his soul to breathe freely, to discover his inner beauty, to discover solace and happiness.

‘ The path to happiness lies within,
When discovered gives an eternal grin,
Not to break because of world is the quality of wise,

Because deep within he knows his soul knows the path that is nice.’

Experiencing the joy of laughing, on-the-go

Fun is an element which can be found practically anywhere. It is there on the streets and it is found in the smiles we experience when we find the latest episode of our favorite serial being telecasted on the television. I am not a television freak, and I do not prefer watching television most of the times due to impending deadlines at work, but am always eager to savor the tales it has to show as per my convenience and schedule. I used a lot of android apps to get hold of one of my favorite light comedy show on Sab TV. But, due to the busy routine, I often had to skip the telecasts because of the time slot restrictions.  For months, I had to skip the episodes, and then try to find old videos of the same. It was just recently that I found the latest Tata Sky+ Transfer set top box, and it came like a blessing in disguise. I am a huge fan of the hilarious tales of Jetha Lal and his neighborhood, but only Tata Sky+ Transfer gave me the power to enjoy the same as per my sch...

The Natural Sadist

By
Throughout our lives, we run past many people. Some are good, some bad; some take our heart away, and some etch indelible marks on our soul. Some help us through this material journey, some become obstacles. But everyone out there surely come across such people in their lives who have no particular aim for the future. The person appears as if he has no work to do on his own self. He/she always irritates us, makes our life hell, and appears as if deriving pleasure from our troubled state. We feel as if the person had just taken birth on this planet to make others regret their births. The pains a sadist gives to others is nothing more than the punishments given in hell. He makes us regret every decision we take. He/she may be anyone in your life. An unsatisfied boss, a clingy distant family member, a person we used to recognize as a friend, a revengeful enemy or just another stranger who seems to make life hard for you. Who is a sadist?  A sadist it seems have cruel inte...

“This is my life!! Do not try to interfere”…. Pallav shouted hard at Meera, hard enough to shake the very soul of her. She had always been the most affectionate and caring personality in Pallav’s life right from his childhood. She had been a friend, companion, a support system and his soul mate. She had seen worse times of his life and made sure he never broke off during the darkened phases of life. She had cared for him as a mother, listened to his apprehensions like a sister, supported him as a wife, and stood by her through the test of time. Their relationship was the one where the weight to push forward the relationship and future were only on the delicate shoulders of Meera. Every single night she would cry hard thinking about her destiny that her future held. It was not that she was unhappy about her relationship. But, she too deserved care; she yearned for love; she wanted affection from the one whom she considers her life. She had always been a pillar that supported...
