The Ferryman...........

This tym m here wid a story..Long ago, there was a ferryman who lived by the riverside, quite isolated from the outskirts of the city..He had a beautiful wife with him whom he loved more than his life.. For him, she was the beautiful sunrise and also the enchanting sunset..she was not that beautiful but for the ferryman, she was the most beautiful woman..The li'l vermillion mark was enough for him to search for the lust of jewellery over her..They had a li'l world of their own where they happily lived with whatever they earned from the ferry..But the time wheel rotates and happiness and sorrow too move on with that..Its just depends on how we prepare ourselves to accept both the situations.
It was a very nice day with a pleasant weather. But for some or the other reasons, there was not a single customer that day.The ferryman sat sadly for that day he had not a single piece of bread to feed his life, his wife.. The wife consoled her that it was not a big deal.. When they are together, hunger wasn't a big problem, infact no problem at all..but by the evening, she suddenly developed a very high fever and started moaning in pain.Seeing her in this condition , the ferryman trembled in fear and anxiety. Even to get a cup of milk, he had to row the ferry to the otherside of the river for there was nothing there near by his hut. So he told his wife that he ld immediately return from the otherside of river and bring medicines and something to eat for her.. He went and started to row his ferry when he saw towards the sky just to see an upcoming furious storm. But somehow he had to get medicines..he somehow felt happy that he had kept his life jacket with him as it was never possible to swim in that deep river and that too against a deadly storm.Somehow, he reached the otherside of the river safely, bought some medicines and bread and milk in debt and ran to catch his ferry and run to his wailing wife..Just then, a man came running behind him and requested him to ferry to the other side.The ferryman said that no I can't take you to that side for the storm is overhead and I have only one life jacket. But the man fell at his feet and told my wife is too sick at the city and I must reach her otherwise she will die  without me..The ferryman was perplexed for his wife needed him too immediately and in the way if he dies, what would she do alone in this world? she loved him so much.How can he live her alone to fight in this selfish world? But at the same time, his wife had always told him to help others..Her selfless love had brought out a perfect human out of him.How can he be selfish now? After all, some other wife was too waiting for her husband.So he told the man that if in the way he dies then he should deliver the medicines, bread and milk to his wife who is also ill the other side. And prayed God:"I don't know what will happen to my wife if I die today? but this love was a blessing which was the essence of my life.If today ur goodness exists and U bless me for sacrificing my life for saving somebody else, then let those blessings be bestowed on my wife who will be alone after I die." And then started his ferry. But as expected the storm destroyed the ferry.The ferryman handed over the life jacket to the man and helped him to swim safely towards the other side..The ferryman tried his best to swim against the stormy tides so that he reaches to his loving life.But his destiny did not favour..He drowned in the mid way.But he was happy. For he was sure, his sacrifice wont go waste and some or the other way his wife would start leading her life..Coz LIFE MOVES ON.....
 This was the story. I just think what must have occured on the wife of the ferryman after getting the news..Would she have cursed his husband who left her alone or would have felt proud on her love?
So now, I ve a question for my readers, "Had u been at the place of the ferryman's wife, how would you have reacted?" please be truthful..I loved the story when I read. Hope u all have loved it too...For me, its simply a heart rendering story.

hiiiiiiiiii..............

Heyy dears........
I know some of u all must have been waiting for my blogs....Ya n i ve become quite insincere at all these.... I guess u all have become quite acquainted with my short forms...leave generation problem...actually to be very frank..I really don't have anything to share in my blog..Sometimes everything becomes vaccum n u simply have to bear it...No imaginations, no creations, no chit chats... Huh....This blog is just a note for my readers that m still alive in pink healths.. He he, never mind..jst a joke.....I always tell u all just move on... Don't look back, don't think for tomorrow n all my philosophies but sometimes I myself get entangled in the mess...Is life just a journey? meant to just move on? I feel I could stand and stare those birds those chirpy sparrows, those naughty squirrels, the mystic leaves..I wish I had been like them..I never would have the need to smile, the need to cry, the need to feel.Just live....Just move on.....Leave...Sometimes I come to u wid my beautiful inspiring words n sometimes wid my own confessions...I just simply writing anything even scribbling down all absurd thoughts rejuvenates our spirits.. so m just writing..Don't know what m I doing? Or am I waiting for something which may give a new meaning to life or simply m still not out of my fairy tales..just moving on........... I think with the late hours of night, my brain has been stopped working...Bye...gudnyt........really not in any position to write..Hope to write something better next tym.........

what happens when.........

hiii dears....... After a lot of time, m back again..Wid sems hanging over head and wid me starting just the ABC of 2nd MBBS, I don't know how m going to stand this exam.... I ve beem the most insincere, the laziest, the most frustrated student this year.....Wid the session starting right at the mid of the year in sept, I really dont know how the being within me died...Neither had I interest for studies nor for parties or whatever...Simply the worst times surpassed...December was bit good for I was actively involved in my function and other social activities and my devil mind had stopped working for some time.But I ve always felt this was my worst part of life..And then the new year......OOPS......Sorry.HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU....I had forgotten...Actually, this new year I had no celebrations, just alone in my room, I slept as much as I could coz I feel sleeping is the best part of my life...And then the new year news wasn't that good as we came to know that our sems are just about to knock our doors...M really not prepared......Most of the time, I ve taken a backseat in the class with no interest to listen, sometimes sleeping, sometimes in a different world writing poems and all such nonsense activities.....Sometimes feeling sad and sometimes happy wid no reasons...I really don't know if this happens wid u all or just me or just it is a 'teenache'..well, m no more a teen but I think the hangover is still there...I know some of my readers must be going through this "what to do?" phase.....Right? Yeah..Then, my this post is really going to work as an antidote for you all...Yesterday, as usual, I was sitting saddy saddy on my bed, conversing wid my peers.." Yaar, kya bekar life hai? kabhie koi acha chiz to mere saath hota hi nahi..." Actually,I was very upset for one of my those 'bubbly bubbly' dreams shattered..I was expecting a guitar tutor and for some reasons I had to quit from the classes.Learning guitar is one of my child hood dreams which m unable to accomplish till date. I just love to tap my feet to the tune of it.But the dream just remained a dream..I just felt..Why me? Whenever I think of something, it disappears...Its so heart breaking...I was literally breaking down with tears rolling my plumpy cheeks...My friends decided to take a stroll in the market just to modulate my mood..We were just wandering when my eyes caught a book.."WHAT HAPPENS TO GOOD PEOPLE WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN" by Robert A. Schuller.Its a free advice for u all to read that book atleast once....See how magically it works..It seemed as if it was written for me or for people like me who just wander in all thoughts trying to understand the mystery of life...So in this post ,I just wanted to elucidate some lines for u all for I know u ld get many answers to many of ur unsolved questions..So here are they..."It is not easy to understand or accept, but the most wonderful blessings of life can be experienced during the worst of times...When u are in pain, that's a time when the glory of God can be revealed in new ways..Just don't worry,He can put all of the seemingly discordant pieces of ur life together into a cohesive and beautiful whole..Just trust Him for He honours those who Honour Him..He will bring all the right things before you in the right time and when He feels its time that u now deserve ur cherished dream.. Just close ur eyes and think about this for a moment: If u have ever gone through a tough time in life and you thought it was the worst but when u look back on it, it would definitely seem that it wasn't that bad.." Even I remember, when I had really a tough time, when I didn't want to come out of the blankets for I feared another new day, there was something behind me which kept me moving..Just to engage my mind, most of the time I used to sit with a pencil shading book in my hands n for the first time, I really felt I could create so beautiful sketches...So whatever happens its for a definite purpose..It just depends on us how we are going to search peace admist turmoil..just as m doing right now..For the sake of sharing these views wid u all, m consoling my heart...Atleast m happy for these few moments...For the next moments lets see wat 'ld happen!It's often true that tragedy brings the very best in you....Just the thing we need to do is stay calm, ve trust on ourselves and GOD, wait with patience till the right time comes...And what I feel, being happy is the only panacea which can make u sincere in your duties and live ur professional as well as personal life in a satisfactory way........ I don't know how boring u all must be feeling while reading my blogs as my friends always say m so boring but still.........Some or the other way, I think as I desire for many answers to my unheard questions, u all must be desiring tooo...n may be my blogs may a tiny help for you....And if no way my blogs seem interesting or inspiring or whatever goody goody adjectives, then m really sorry my dear readers for " me to bachpan se aisi hi hoon......Kya karun?"..............

DECEMBER,2012

Oh God! What a hectic schedule it has been this month........I really feel glad that finally, I am feeling happier than before...The last 4 months were simply the most devastating for me....No classes,wandering in the ward for the whole day but no one to teach us there...Then,after returning home, eating and sleeping were the only two things I did wid all my dedication...Don't know how much weight I have put on during these months...But finally, when this year is going to end, I feel rejuvenated and spirited....At the onset of 2012,I was so afraid thinking that we all might be finished once and for all....Infact,I had many plans for 20th december thinking that I won't get chance to do all those things the next day after..........But these last 4 months were a strange lesson 4 me,when I had literally no work to do....during those episodes,I just felt what the hell is my life!I had no fear for death, no interest to live coz I really could not trace out the reason behind my survival......Coz I know everybody takes birth for a specific purpose.........And then came december......I just thought to publish a post before 21st....May be,after that this column remains empty forever.........But I wanted it to present in a different way...I don't know why but I really feel so happy this month, no fear what's going to happen next...After all, this tear wasb so different.....all kinds of experiences.....altough most were painful but this last onth of the year was (infact 'is' as 23 days are stil remaining)most refreshing....It was just a lesson.... that life has just to move on be it on a the smooth highway or a kaccha road........Just enjoy the way its moving... and then we would have no idea how time passes.........Just like the lines of "THE ODE TO THE WEST WIND" i.e."If winter comes, Can spring be far behind?" Really, thats the essence of life...This month, I was so busy with all intercollege literary comps including poems, debates, essays, painting,dance, projects and finally my long cherished dream...A research work under INDIAN COUNCIL OF MEDICAL RESEARCH... I am just simply excited for our annual function starting from tomorrow and then a breathless and tireless effort for my research paper....Frankly, work, study are the best part of our life...We don't get time to think about our sorrows or mourn over them...And one thing which I learnt all these months that life has a lot of challenges for us..We need to just face it,however heavy blow it may be... Just stay determined, chalk out your boundaries and work dedicatedly and leave rest on destiny...I guess, It exists...When I met the blind school students for the first time,it became a turning point of my life...I felt we get depressed over li'l things or study pressure...But when they ran towards me to give me a hug, I just could not imagine how gregarious they are...Even after losing the most valuable thing of their lives,they are ready to share their happiness wid all...Then why can,t we?That was the day I really decided to change the style of my life...I planned a versatile framework for my life and I guess its working...This is just a free advice for my readers that u all just try to laugh atleast one day on all idiotic and stupid things...I assure you, you 'ld notice a change within you for sure...And most importantly, LIVE FOR OTHERS,SACRIFICE YOUR DREAMS FOR OTHERS AND THEN YOU WOULD FEEL THERE IS NO REGRET IN THE LIFE...This line is the essence of my love of life....that's my profession and coincidentally this is also the meaning of my name............HUH! wrote a lot....OOps... lot of works pending...BYE 2012 and my readers ........Hope, I would wid something better to tell u if on 22nd december,The Sun rises..........

tete-e -tete

Sometimes the wasteful and useless Khatti are also so rejuvenating..... When we are a bit down,all the stupid thoughts seem to be the most interesting..... Sitting on our beds, half covered within the blankets,Vandita and I went on pondering about all the most stupid things which we committed during our childhood... O how beautiful were those days when we gathered all the happiness from every small li'l things.... thinking how merrily we went on shouting within our peers when we saw a rainbow or an aeroplane flying so high above our heads that we cant even trace its size and shape.... giggling at the backside when we see a girl and a boy talking wid each other thinking that they are in love, even though we never felt wats that word..The unity and the amusement when the whole class got mass punishment,plucking roses from the garden just to impress our beautiful ma'ms......Today,we just, went on rolling down wid laughter when vandi told that she could not even know when a monkey held her hands and took her with it until aunty came to her rescue.Such was our chastity that we failed to distinguish even humans from animals....sitting sadly just bcoz our frenz had more beautiful hair bands than ours....Discussing all the secrets and then telling that:"ei pls tate mo promise ,kahaku kahibuni" and then the circle continued..I still remember the way we used to fight when our mamas gave something delicious in our tiffins and we never wanted to share that. Feeling so elated when we got even half mark more than our frenz whom we thought they dont belong to OUR SIDE...... The tents we used to build wid our mamas' sarees and playing within them.....The lovely cute li'l kitchen sets with which we used to cook rice, dal and sabji out of clay, sand,leaves and pebbles...wearing sarees, bindi and lipsticks just to think how we would look when we would marry. The way we try on copying our teachers' signatures and creating one of our own in all the best possible ways....The way I always used to chat with my papa breathlessly, sleep within his round belly curling myself.......HUh.... All those things simply gave an eternal joy and peace.I still remember an incident when I was in UKG.I saw an old man selling earthen pots but none of the bypassers bought one from him... I saw the complete scene and went home. The next day,I asked mama to give me ten rupees note(that was an enogh big amount that time)..While returning from the school, I bought one pot from the old man and told him"Mausa, ethire bhata dali aau bhaja kini khaidaba.."This was the real time when we rally had a heart.. Such was the period of our childhood....But days have changed...We have grown up.. We feel embarassed to laugh at stupid situations...We never ever gasp at the blank sky and think how high it must be..The complicacies of life have started engulfing us...We search for the so called'BIGGER AND LARGER'happiness and fail to feel the pleasure in small li'l things happening around us....We sometimes feel so depressed at the stressful life, sometimes feel its boring and sometimes beautiful... We go on scanning all the events to find out wat's life? But end up with no answer.Perhaps, thats why I feel the neo natal unit of our hospital is the best place of the world...So many babies, wid pink lips,blinking eyes and their fists closed in such a way that as if God has given them all the happiness and they dont want to share them wid all of us who have slowly turned into selfish ,brutal and insensitive individuals...Just to conclude as a whole,I WISH I WAS STILL A CHILD, AWAY FROM ALL PANGS OF SUFFERINGS AND COMPLICACIES...

VOICE OF A LOST SOUL

MY heart reckons that day of rout, when the catastrophe came and went like the tides of the sea To doom the aura of a blissful life.......... Soon the nature was in harmony, But my heart still remained in a cacophony. Chirped the birds,blew the breeze, Shone the moon, twinkled the stars But I stood still and stared to find my soul lost amidst the crowd. Asks the Sun "Ain't you afraid of mt scorching heat?" Says the cloud "Won't you run away if I burst?" Shout the dogs"Won't you fret at our rowdy barks?" Buzzes the bee"Don't you praise the beauty of the rose?" Blushes the moon"Don't you feel elated when I smile?" And sparkles the star"Don't you gleam seeing me twinkle?" But I stand still and stare, with my legs collapsed and heart shrunken, And my lips quivering in abrupt silence Just to utter the desolate 'VOICE OF A LOST SOUL'
