JUST MOVING ON-35


I face a lot of flack over my view on various issues.I enjoy it,afterall being different is a luxury!We all seek it and here I am getting it all for free.All right getting more serious now,and honestly sometimes I do get bogged down by it and some voice hidden deep within asks what if i'm wrong.What if my perspective is one dominated by paranoia or delusion,for that instance?I often don't take advices and hence there is seldom a case of someone having an influence on me at least visually!But what is there in life which is so complicated and about which people often accuse me of taking too lightly?I don't understand.
All right,life is not a bed of roses and we have to face a lot of difficulties but this is no excuse for crying over the mistakes done in the past!
Same is the case with people on the other side,the so called optimists.They'd often advise us to be cheerful,laugh out loud and stuff like that.Things are good for few days just before you understand the absurdity of it. I mean to say whether happiness or sadness,both are mental states and pass away almost effortlessly.We need not be fussing over it.But,we often trick ourselves into living between the extremes.Driven by emotions,any sad moment drives us to one extreme and life looks catastrophic while soon the too prized, happier moment drives us to the other extreme and suddenly life feels like being in the heaven.There is no-thing as the middle thing!In fact the concepts of heaven and hell itself have been derived by our habit of living in between the extremes.
No wonder we see emotional outbursts so common everywhere!People have not been taught how to handle emotions.I find a lot of people,much older that me making a mess of their lives just on the part of emotional mismanagement.Here we are living in such a state with so much of developmental talk all around and on the other hand we find such maniacs all around.Don't look around,a look in the mirror is enough!We have developed so much but when it comes to emotions we are nothing more than the kids.
Just being jubilant by getting a gift and the next moment crying because someone took away the little toy!We expect more from a mature individual,don't we?
Life teaches a lot of lessons and one of them is the realisation of hardship but if there is hardship,there is joy as well.All around us just a little glance is enough to make us understand the dualities existing here.If there is pain,there is pleasure,if there is light,there is darkness as well.......Now my point is what if instead of living between these dualities and getting entangled in the mess,we make it a goal to first understand then conceptualize and finally move over these differences in order to live an unperturbed life away from all this mess!Why not? I mean life is way too precious to waste crying in grief on one hand or partying all over on the other.l
We as humans have always faced problems and devised innovative ways to solve them and if we have, in the current day scenario,a problem which is caused by human behaviour and has the potential to take lives and destroy families,it will be solved by ourselves.So managing emotions is the key.....I was fed up with all this,living between the extremes I was never comfortable with myself until I found out a way to lead me out of this mess.
Now I live a life in which there are no huge expectations.I don't run after anything as of now.Just take whatever comes and focus my energy instead on the understanding of the world.Happiness or sadness whatever the state of mind,i don't get disturbed beyond my limit of self control and I am essentially pursuing a certain calmness in life.Of course it is hard to explain but can be best explained as the harmony between myself and others by realising the limits of discrimination,or I should say the harm of it.When there is nothing to fuss about,there is calmness isn't it?

NAGALAND: FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Not too many people have Nagaland in their bucket list. Uncomfortable roads, poor transport system and a lot of corruption are a few factors which contribute to it. Added to it the stories of still active insurgency, Nagaland although an extremely beautiful hill state doesn’t manage to have a lot of tourism going on except for the Hornbill festival in December every year. But, my case is slightly different. Affinity towards the culture of the entire North east, plus a desire to visit not to tourist frequented places made Nagaland a definite must go. So, when I got time and saved some money, I immediately planned a trip to the beautiful hilly state with my girlfriend. The Nagaland express Since, th is was my second trip towards the hills of the North east, I was more confident and familiar with the sytem than the previous time. We booked a filght to Guwahati and from there we took a train to Dimapur aptly named : The ”Nagaland Express”. This...

FIRST TRIP TO THE NORTH EAST-MIZORAM

Around 7 years ago during the final year of my school, I read a book about the various tribes of the north East India. Already fascinated by a place so serene, yet unexplored and heard stories of the people inhabiting those lands, the book generated in me a desire to visit the places as soon as possible. The author of that book visited the entire North East as a part of his assignment for All India Radio (AIR) during the 1970s and the way he described those tribes and the places, a strong desire arose inside of me to visit these places and see for myself how beautiful that land is, how well mannered those people are! It is aptly called the 'unexplored paradise' as I discovered. But the idea materialized only in March, when financially empowered by a scholarship from ISRO, and constantly motivated by my best friend (who could not resist travel, and hence accompanied me!), I planned to visit Mizoram. Why Mizoram? There is a particular thing about the mizos, and if asked com...

TRIP TO HARIDWAR AND RISHIKESH

A trip to places like Haridwar and Rishikesh is always a source of peace,joy and spirituality and when we went to these places this month, it was no different.We had some free time and I along with my two other friends decided to visit Haridwar as well as Rishikesh for a short 4 day trip.As I had spent my childhood in a nearby town,naturally these places were well travelled by me . Day-1:Bus to Haridwar We got up early in the morning,at around 0445,hurriedly got dressed up,called each other and ran off to the ISBT at kashmiri gate to catch an early bus to Haridwar.I was extremely careful to catch the bus as early as possible because of the traffic at the border growing up a few hours later.We expected to catch the bus at around 0700,but as it always happens,we were delayed by around 30 minutes and managed to board the bus as 0730.It was a smooth journey,early in the morning a lot of fresh air poured in,later as it was not too hot,we enjoyed riding the bus in the bri...
