JUST MOVING ON-70


Failures are never glorified.This is the way of the world.The theroy of natural selection too seems to confirm that.Of course the most successful have the most chances to survive,others have to make way,however horrible it may sound.For me,failure was never going to be an option so when I failed to clear my entrance exam this month,I was in a state of despair.No hope seemed to be there,all the effort seemed useless and I was caught by surprise,quite literally.As time passed,and a few weeks later,that is today,I think it has left a deep scar on me and I have lost considerable amount of self confidence in the way.
My past has never been a memorable one.There have been instances when I cursed myself for being alive here,but I had and still have the hope to succeed.For the past few months,I have been reading a lot of religious stuff and it has provided me a framework to deal with the problems in my life,yet there are a few where I just want to give up.A considerable amount of self doubt settles in and I'm left hopeless.People often regard it as a state of depression.I get depressed sometimes and lose control of myself in the process and often end up thinking on weird ideas.One of them doing the rounds of my mind is that I should leave this life and run away.The 'escapist' way,it often seems to be adventurous one.
Ever since my childhood,I have been imagining running in to the wild,and living like a hermit seemed to be a nice idea.I have never aspired to be connected to the world or be involved in the worldly affairs and often feel like living among people is the price being paid for my survival.As soon as my survival in ensured sans the people,I'll have no problems living alone secluded from everyone.As I have grown up,this idea still exists in my mind which means it was not some childish fantasy.I think my life is better living alone than not.I am very bad at expressing myself,and with a foul mouth,I make sure everyone I come across hates me.Controlling my tongue has been the hardest thing,and honestly,I have never been able to succeed.I have often thought of the reasons behind it.
Why I go from a soft speaking common man to somone using harsh words against his own family?
How come I repent that event minutes later,yet unable to control my tongue when required?
Does someone annoy me?If yes why do I care?
I don't think I should be more concerned about correcting others than I should be about finding faults within myself.Afterall,I have to be responsible for my actions,not others'!Thought over with a calm mind I often realize my mistake,but the feedback loop is so poor that I am not able to apologize.So the person sees the bad side of me and when I try to present my good side,it just doesn't get across.I then end of looking like a real villain in the story.It has been accumulating for a long time now,and now sometimes things get unbearable.Then I realize there is a lot of suffering in the world and I have to take it as long as I'm alive.Then,I don't have to worry about perceptions too as they are temporary.
There are not any problems,fundamental in nature as far as I'm concerned so I don't have to worry about it.I have to take a lot of suffering,on account of my actions and hence I consider myself responsible for the state I'm in today.Yes there is some amount of depression but since I hold myself responsible I don't have to curse anyone for it.I have the responsibility to rectify the mistakes as well as to succeed.This is the firm belief I have,and it is the path I have to take.
NOTE:
*There is a lot of negativity right now,and I have to make sure I don't make any wrong decision during this time.
*Opinion of people doesn't matter in the long run,so I don't even have to think about 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...

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...

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...
