The Other Side of Life..........

                            This week, for a change there is neither a topic nor a person to talk about. I have been blank for a while and haven't really thought about what I should be writing this time. My journey on the tough road must have temporarily blocked my thought process. This reminds me the concept of " Pain gate theory". Pain, interestingly, isn't the activated result of any cells but is a modulated perception between the nerve cells. The neural gate present in the spinal cord opens and closes, thereby modulating the perception of pain. In a way, the neurons enact as  Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Sounds strange but a mere nerve cell holds the key of our emotions. In the race of life, we seldom forget how we let small factors take control of our lives. Even while I write this, am still spell bound by the factor that a neuron decides when to let me cry or laugh.

                            Coming back to our Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (read good and bad days of life), you must have been through a rough phase where everything seemed to be opposing your happiness It must have been challenging and dull, giving no room for fairness, but trying to drag you down and attempting you to erase your dreams. Every experience you come across here is a data that you need to make choices from that take you down different paths, at times throwing you to the brighter side of life. All those experiences are hidden somewhere deep down in your heart and you can never erase those memories. They are like Mr. Hyde peeping every now then and then trying to take you down the memory lane. Even while we take pride in the fact that we dealt with the situation, we fight back tears thinking of the pain we went through all the while.

                            It is at this juncture that you either chose to be Dr. Jekyll and move in the direction of breathing your dreams or let Mr. Hyde take over the reins and ruin them. While you are fighting Mr. Hyde to realize your dreams, you cant help but watch people walking ahead of you and realize their dreams. Its important to maintain your cool as that's how life is : Stops for none. In the race of life, do not worry of people moving ahead of you. Take your own time. Don't be in a haste to match the pace of life. But once you are ready to run, just make sure that you are the best of all. 

                            While you are down, your guide and mentor ought to be only your instincts. People teach you, preach and even scare you. But the basic truth remains the same - No one can predict the future. No one can guide you better than your instincts. Sometime back, I received this message - If an egg is broken bu an external force, a life ends. If the same egg is broken by an inside force, a life begins. Great things always begin from inside. Trust yourself. Rain or shine, Storm and sharks, believe in yourself and keep going!
                           
                         
                            

Give life a chance.

                         The first time I broke up, it felt like the world had come to a still point. I was too shocked to cry. My family stood by me. I was too innocent to realize that the Earth had place for wrong people. I tried facing the reality and moved on. In the process of moving on and to be careful in the future, I imposed some rules on myself and since then, have been following them to the core. I might have missed a right relation but am sure that I saved myself from few wrong relations. Years later, I have gathered enough guts and I am much stronger. The scars aren't visible anymore. Today, when I come across a guy, I let my mind rule over my heart. I owe this confidence to the Creator above and my "singleton" status.

                        However, not many are lucky enough. We are natives of a country where in emotional hangovers are a part and parcel of our tradition. No offense. If you are someone who is going through a rough relation and people are adding on to the pain, I have just two words for you - "Chuck them"!. Life doesn't end with a wrong relation. Instead, the end of a bad relation lays foundation for a new journey filled with hopes and aspirations now that you know whom you want in your life and what you want from them. The sooner you dump the garbage of memories and pick up the luggage of your dreams, the better for you. Show the world what a tough nut you are to crack. Never hang up your boots. The moment you give up, remember that there are " no mass- gathering- but - rolling- stones" running after you. Never let life decide what to give you. You ought to be the master of your life and not the other way round. Have a relationship with yourself. Believe in yourself and never make the mistake of rejecting yourself just because someone else has. 

                     Once in life do fall in love. Not necessarily with a person but with a dream. A dream breathes hope in you and energizes you - A dream that brings a smile on your face and is the very reason to wake you every morning with a confidence and faith in yourself. Don't wait for time to heal your wounds and change things for a better future.Someone aptly said that  "Time only changes the "expiry dates" for the opportunities that you have missed" . How true? I can sum up it in only one sentence - "Give life a chance".
