The lows and lows and lows....of Life!!

-

There comes a time in each one's life when the person feels utterly low and useless,So insignificant a being as can be assumed to be a worm wriggling on the earth.The phase is really killing because of burgeoning pessimism.Negativity creeps into every corner of life driving away hope,faith and optimism.The person is incredibly low on confidence and therefore susceptible to the remotest thing spoken about her be it about dressing sense,looks,behaviour or manners.There is despair and no dynamism;life seems static.The things that she cherishes the most,fail to bring a smile on her face.She no longer enjoys the things around her say spring blossoms,soft music.She feels like absconding,so as not to be seen or heard.She avoids being in a group.It seems she is all alone in this universe and that noone bothers after her.The person becomes irritable and impulsive.A tiny spark in such a situation is all it needs to cause a blast!

This is the time when the person needs utmost attention and needs to be handled with a lot of care and affection because she is unable to come out of that state all by herself and needs someone to rescue her.She needs a person who can at times just sit silently beside her and be there for her.She needs someone who can devour all her irritation,frustration or anger without reacting.She needs a comrade who wouldn't judge her every moment but accept her just the way she is.

The phase though transient,is crucial and deciding in the person's life.It can give her hopes of a beautiful tomorrow or flung her into despair of a dungeon!!


P.S. : Most of the times,narrations for both genders are made in masculine gender,here I attempted reverse.

    Its a game that mind plays, every now and then. Generating sine waves of extreme emotions. The choice lies with the person, which side does he(rather she) desire to be. Either he can opt to be a pathetic hopeless looser or be full of irrefutable energy. The choice lies within. The battle have to be fought alone,well wishers can only give moral support.

When was the last time you did an act of benevolence?? I felt the same upsurge of emotions a few days ago.... As part of my daily chores I got ready to leave for office one fine morning,but a little late than usual.So as anticipated or feared,when I reached the bus stop the bus had already left.Now the sole option for me was to hurry to another bus stop,a few kilometres from mine,where I could board a bus due 15 min. from then.I called for an autowalla to rush to that stop.But all that while I was pre-occupied with the thought whether I would be able to make it to the stop on time so kept on telling the guy to drive faster.He sped up silently and I reached my destination well on time.I got down,paid the fare,crossed the road and enquired with the fellow commuters.The autorickshaw guy drove away.Haa to my relief,the bus was yet to come...After a while,a lady standing beside me signalled me to the other side of the road.I couldn't understand at first what was she upto.B

An Open Mind...

A few months ago I learnt how important it was to be open to new ideas.A mind closed to new thoughts,ideas or beliefs that are different from our very own is deprived and ignorant.And in due course of time, it becomes dull and incapable of thinking beyond hackneyed.You ,in that case, are no better than-A frog in the well, ignorant of the beautiful world beyond.So break free from all the hassles...dare to dream,dare to welcome ideas.Feed your mind as you feed your body...and not to mention..feed your soul too. With the stage set for the drama let me not beat around the bush and come to the point I've been wanting to make. I ,being an avid reader, love reading rainbow range of books from science to mystery,folk tales to general awareness...an entire gamut would still not satiate my appetite for reading & learning.But I had biases,especially one of which I can remember well and am about to relate.Being a pure vegetarian(or atleast 99.99% as I can claim), the name "Ch
