Impossible Situations

My life is full of impossible situations. My mother is dying and the doctor has said she can no way survive beyond one month! It is time to pray and I don’t know what else I can do. We have gone to various doctors and hospitals but there is no hope given by anyone. They all suggest that we put her in some hospice and let her have a peaceful death. Today he was told that they are cutting down on the resources and by the coming season they will have to let him go. Every person who came to know about it said that the same is happening in their organization too. They are cutting costs and reducing the overheads so letting many people go. There is a financial downturn and the companies are not doing well. So all his good friends suggested that he take up whatever job that comes along. Even if he has to take a pay cut, he should be able to tide over these difficult times by accepting the jobs that come his way. She is passing through financial hell. Her sales are down and no inventory in h

The Great Deluder

The human mind is the great deluder and knows what is needed by you and divulges only that much information. It has the power to hide and cover up with deliberation other things which are not needed for its main purpose. Let me explain that. When you are really very very angry with someone whom you love , the mind will tell you things that can blow up or expand your anger much more. It will never show you the truth about the love of that person. You can only see red, unpalatable episodes, ugly words, pick and choose instances, times when there have been only fights, words that spoke ill will, etcetera. Mind will throw up all that is bad and ugly. Never will it show you how loving that person was or how the goodness flowed. It will show only bitterness. It will hide everything that can calm you down, break up the tension, cease the fight, destroy the venom or put in a loving word. It will make all efforts to show you only the ugly side of life and not even a glimpse of the good time

Achievements And Afterwards

Do you remember your achievements and afterwards? How many of us actually remember the person who took his selfie from top of the tallest building or the most dangerous place? How many remember who fought in which war or died trying to save someone? Hardly anyone, except for a few relatives and friends might remember that individual. Then why does a person do extreme acts or stupid acts? Does he think anyone would remember them? Man loves to believe that any kind of daring acts of valorous kind would make them eternal in the memories of mankind. But that is wrong thinking. How many can actually identify people from the plaques put up in memorial? Maybe one person may come up and point his own father name who might have died a martyr. I was recently passing close to a high court and saw a marble statue pulled down and thrown in a heap. She was the old dowager who ruled over the land but today the newer regime hates her. No one cares for her statue anymore and it is fit for demolition

A Dull Boy

All indoor play makes Jack a dull boy. God, This is amazing! Today kids hardly go out to play. They only play on their personal gadgets. Yes. When you were young you were hardly available at home. Your mother begged of you to come in early. Yes, that’s what I mean. For us it was difficult to stay at home and these days kids don’t want to leave home. The newer gizmos they invent, the more cocooned they become. Yes. Look at how they do it. Just a few days ago, my nephew said a girls name in the air and asked her to find out something for him and there was this gadget which spoke to him and did! That’s what Google or Amazon does. They all say Google is greater than God because Google knows everything! Do you feel redundant or left out, God? Why would I feel like that? Anyway, I am sad that human beings are no longer active the way they were before all these gadgets came into being . They are active in a certain way. There are easier remedies for everything. They have to pay somewh

About Flint

God, what is all this hullabaloo about Flint? My whole country has the same issue and we never bothered about it. All your countrymen are immune to pollution. All kinds of pollution for that matter. I think if we were to find one perfectly clean spot we should worry about it. Ha, ha! That’s true. Cities, rivers, roads and every other thing is polluted and contaminated. Then why are these people worried and why do they fight for it? You too would do the same if you could get millions of dollars as compensation. But you won’t get anything at all. And from whom? That’s the truth . So many lost lives in the Bhopal Gas tragedy but what happened there? The easiest thing to do is to move away from that place or otherwise wait for another tranche of millions and fall sick. It requires political will to get it rectified. But why do these people fall sick so much? It’s like your Delhi Belly. You are all so much used to dirty water and adulterated food that you have become immune to it.

Feel Happy Or Sad?

How easy it is for man to feel happy or sad? It just takes a small incident to feel like that. Maybe a simple increment in salary or a promotion will put smile on the face. A death or a big fight would make the same person sad. The toughest task is to have equanimity of mind. But how can one have that when it is raining gifts or accolades? Similarly how can one not feel sad when one fails in something or gets sacked? These are extreme emotions and it’s hard not to experience them. Every psychological impact disturbs a human being and it better do that. If it doesn’t then you are either a zombie or a completely heartless person. There are yoga classes or meditation classes which tell you how to overcome stress or anger, melancholy or tensions. Now there are medicines too which come prescribed to lower the anxiety or make you feel good. Reduce your pressure or increase the good feelings. Sometimes people prescribe certain therapies to reduce tensions and anxieties. Body massages,
