LbnRaj idling on a July Sunday:
What inspired Lbn. Raj: (1) A bittersweet comeback/ Indrani Rajkhova Banerjee- Times of India, July 18, 210 (Times Life!) (2) In your darkest moment/ Vinita.Nangia, Times of India-O-zone, 18 July, 2010.
It is but natural by looking at great lives of remarkable people, to realize the uniqueness & importance of ones own ups & downs, highs & lows. How interesting it is now to recollect as to how we stumbled upon our first job or business, how we felt on our first serious failures in our first jobs. The more experienced we became may be more serious issues we faced with. Highs & lows are but spices to our lives. What is life of a person who never changed his tracks, who never saw/ or gone in for the so called change of business or a change of a job or has never opportuned to resign or put ones foot down when one cant go away further in anything, when one succeeds to have something which he/she dreamt for long. It is but quite possible what after one fulfills ones desire/ dreams. One may feel- how worth it was to long for such an ordinary not so great a thing! I realise of late dreaming about some jobs, fortune or companion does not & should not be put to vote in terms of profitability or utility or usefulness. The beauty is in the dream itself, not in the person or the thing dreamt about. Life minus dreams is a life lived worthlessly. It is not necessary that all dreams should get realized. The very fact that one keeps dreaming is a proof of ones liveliness & hope To put it in simple terms the very process of dreaming in unique, special, beautiful and incomparable, incomparable even to the very thing or person dreamt about. The best highs & worst lows in ones life add all variety & spice for a brighter higher high than one had ever imagined. It is impossible to realize the importance of highs if one has never had so called terrible lows. Coming to this very moment in which are conforted at the moment … dwell on that as consciously as possible. Nothing gets erased in life. It is a cumulative process. As we selectively divide to recollect some things out of "n' number of past things we were faced with ….. those things roll open for us from the recycle bin- if at all they were deleted. Nothing in life gets deleted even if you empty your recycle bins as often. It is all present in the cloud, virtually or real life as well. Nothing in life, no decisions in ones life are good or bad… the course of life get shaped as we go along knowingly or unknowingly. What makes us decide a particular way? At the very moment of a decision, at that very spur, our interests, inclinations & likings work & we divide accordingly. It is impossible for the second person to influence the decision of the next person. Decisions are so personal. The level of highs & lows of human adamancy are so strong & innate, that it is humanly impossible to impact. In the heart of the heart, the person who looks like having impacted upon – gets convinced, gets realized to some where some how to align to a particular thing or phenomena or ism. At the surface level ok. We get influenced by people & thoughts around, true. But what gets decided is two personal a thing, at the core. One interesting thing about decisions is…. That it is true & meaningful to the person at that moment only. If you think you agree & disagree simultaneously is absolutely wrong. You agreed one second ago- that was the truth, you disagreed one second later- that was the truth, not both agreeing & disagreeing simultaneously.
I know, I started with my reading of what Indrani's write up & Vinita's thought in Times…….. now hardly I remember what she was talking about. Every one, every writer consciously, unconsciously starts with news stimuli………. internally or externally. I really don't know why a mark…. is necessary to start wring or speaking or gossiping. I am not whether the so called busy successful people even be able to read what I write…… but to certain extent…. I think I am right…..the people like me who happen to stumbled on idle holidays & Sundays will read. Is idling a sin?
Yes, n numbers of writers identify & highlight the darker sides of individuals, Alas! n numbers of writers ignore the finer sides of individuals. Darker & finer sides of personality are to be acknowledged. Can we spot some who never has darker sides, or some one else who never has finer sides? The finest & the darkest sides are present in each & every one. This is the fact. The fact is….. whose finer & darker sides are in the limelight? It is impossible to revert & identify the best & finer sides of people, had there been no one with darker sides. We live in an agreed up social set up- finer sides have acceptance & the darker side sides have no acceptance.
Key words:
Lbn. Raj, Indrani Rajkhova, Vinita Nangia, Ups, Downs, Darker Sides, Finer Sides, O-Zone, Times Life.
I am thankful to Ms. Susri Priyadarsini Padhi-Junior Librarian for providing relevant support information & for efficient DTP work.
