When you want to cry , make someone smile!

We all know , life is not as easy. There will always be times when things do not work out as expected, when each effort you put in results in failure. Such phases as we know last the longest. I have already talked about bad days , lets now talk about bad phases. We all spend most of our energies every single day , every single moment to get the most of our lives. We work hard to achieve what we set to out and give a shot at it. We pray for it and are keen on the result and most of the times we have to face failure. This failure is not only in terms of exams but expands to various channels of lives such as relationships , work , commitments etc. Did we notice , there wasn’t a failure to give the effort. I know in the end it all matters is result , if you get that college of your dreams , if you can have a fabulous day out with that special someone , if you can pass the examination , if you can get the sought after job! And then there is  frustration , anger  ,  depression , tears. All that effort that you put in , all the countless days , hours , minutes add to it so much of energy and expectations , and then you do not make it, IT HURTS . In such situations , you really do not want to believe in GOD , no matter how much you did pray before the result the faith fluctuates.  You hear about people committing suicides everyday , especially during the exam and the result time. So much of negativity , is that one result the end of life ?

When in such a situation , just walk upto some one and make that person smile , the more people you make smile , the more you will understand what i am talking about.  Be a reason for some one’s smile. Life is not difficlut , it is challenging.  It is the way you take up these challenges and start out that matters.  Those smiles will help you start again and motivate your effort to face any situation.  Keep smiling and simplicfy lives of yours and others around you. Take care

The Perfectionist “SRT”

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. To express anything about him words can never be enough and i know no one will want to debate on that. He had his debut in 1989 when i was barely 2 years old and even before i could understand cricket , i shall say i was a fan of Him. He has been the biggest influence on my life after my parents. The reasons speak for themselves .  During his career there have been so many obstacles , so many criticizms but HE has remained unfazed. One person who would be a best example to exlplain , actions speaks louder than words. People said he is slowing down , No more the old sachin , He surely has changed but for the better. People said , he is well past his peak , he should retire after 2007 world cup , He again let the bat do the talking. One incident would be stamped on cricket fans all across the world would be the unbeaten  double century (241*) in Sydney where after having a very poor series of Australia He decided to leave all balls outside off stump and let the bowlers come to him , That determination and grit has inspired me ever since. His latest 175 in Hyderabad , silenced his critics of his attacking abilities . His 117 in the CB series final followed by another 90 odd in the second final silenced people who said He does not score in finals.  He has scored his 47th test century and overall 92nd International century, nothing can speak more volumes. We have seen cricketers full of talent , we have seen some with un matched technique , we have seen some with passion and hunger , we have seen some with sublime tming , we have seen some who have been gentlemen , we have seen some who have been humble and modest. But you only find all of this in only one cricketer , Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Keep Walking SRT

A Relatively bad day

Many a times we come across a reply from our friends or relatives when asked how was their day that , ” My day was horrible ” or “  My day was very bad “.  On further inquiries on why the day was so terrible or so bad , you are informed it was because the person had to work overtime for a 15 minutes extra or the boss passed a stern remark on the person or the government officer made you run helter skelter without any particular reason or maybe even because the person had a fight with someone. Fair enough reasons ?

Similarly even i had a sort of bad day , had to face up a few things. While returning back , in the company bus admist all the sielence , thoughts coming up in mind , why me? Many of us might have got this feeling after a bad day , I have been praying regularly , i have been on the right track still such things happen.  The bus stopped at the signal besides a BMW car . It had that shine , the aura and again i wwent into a different world again. I started thinking of their life , the people who travel in these swanky cars . They must be blessed , they must be doing or must have done some things right to get there. Where am i going wrong ? and then   i noticed these kids on the signals ,  they were crying , hungry , no clothes . That was that end of thoughts for me , that was the sign that Life itself is unfair. A bad day for the BMW guy may mean a loss of 1-2 crores while a bad bday for me would mean a fight with a good friend and a bad day for the signal kids would mean 2-3 days of HUNGER!!

The point being  life or for that matter will have its ups and downs ,  it is a course of life. You might have had a bad day but there are millions of people who have a great day but still it is not better than your worst day. Keep praying and keep the hopes alive , next day will bring lots of sunshine!

The “Game” begins

LOVE

Abhinav curses the phone for not letting him cross the stage and makes his way into the kitchen to get his breakfast. The TV is switched on to go with the breakfast.

The TV as usual is very defined instrument of interest for him.  While surfing channels he is most likely to get engaged with the Youth Music Channels ,  Sports or either a comedy show , rest he believes is crap in its purest form. The weekly laughter show is currently on air for a repeat telecast and as usual Abhinav sticks to it while trying to finish the breakfast as soon as possible. The now so-called comedy king is in full form and the audience is having a great time. His jokes are mostly limited to people from villages and the comedy created from the comparison of their lives with those of from urban areas. The central characters  of such acts ranging from the Schoolmaster to the Housewives. Abhinav loves such acts and he enjoyed the current act on the comparison between postmen of the two areas thoroughly. With the conclusion of this act , the host announces a tiny break and pledges to come back within a moment however being very impatient Abhinav moves on to surf the channels further and then realises he spent quite sometime on the TV even though he had finished  breakfast some time back. Disappointed with the lack of entertainment on the TV he switches it off and gathers the dishes from the sofa and keeps them safely in the kitchen. It is already half past 2 and so he decides to take a bath.

Mrs. Kulkarni: ” What! are you sure ? “

Mrs. Tiwary: ” Yeah , even i came to know it just now ,  it was very unexpected”

” I …..I mean we did not even have a clue about it”

” Same here , As soon as i got to know , i made sure you knew about it”

” Thanks a lot , Mrs Tiwary”

” No problem , let me know what happens , I am waiting for your call”

“Yes sure , I hope Ganesha is with us”

” Don’t worry , everything will be fine , as it is we cannot do anything now , we have to face the situation. “

” I will let you know , please pray for me”

” Sure dear , Good luck”

” Thanks”

Mrs. Kulkarni could remember only one statement out of that conversation , “We have to face the situation”.  She knew she had to face it , there was nowhere to hide any tears , she was at the office and people would come to know of it somehow. She prayed that everything  goes fine and called up at their residence.

*Tring Tring *

*Tring Tring *

*Tring Tring *

*Tring Tring *

With no response even after 4 calls , the Blood pressure began to shoot up , she always expected a reply whenever she called up and this being more of a sensitive situation made her feel more sick. Random thoughts started accumulating in her mind , she could not think of a life without her only son whom she had brought up with so much love and affection. There were signs of tears in her eyes  when her colleague Mrs. Joshi came up to her.

Mrs. Joshi was an old lady , who was working with the bank for several years. She has been working ever since this branch opened and regulates most of the proceedings. She is one person who loves attention and most of the time seen trying to get it. She was not even a graduate when she had got married but later got her graduation in arts which she considers to be her greatest achievement till date , completing graduation after marriage!.

“  Anything wrong,  Mrs Kulkarni ?”

” Not sure , Our neighbour had called up to inform me about some important thing related to Abhinav and he is not picking up the phone , i have been trying since half an hour”

” Oh! , You never know with this young generation
, last week there was news of a boy in his teen age who attempted suicide. I know Abhinav is also in teen age but something tells me he might not take such a giant step.”
Mrs. Kulkarni is still near the phone and tries the residence number again.

Good Morning

Love

Abhinav got up at around 11 am. There was still a hangover even though he had slept for over 9 hours . He had slept at around 2 am , after having enjoyed playing the latest games on his new PC . He would rush to the PC after dinner and play until he would be more than satisfied with the number of stages completed, then go off to sleep late and get up late next morning.  Yesterday was no different. His parents had already left for work. Both of them were employed by government organisations.  His father , a  B Com graduate from Delhi University was working for BMC while his mother another B Com graduate from Mumbai university was working with a State bank branch near their house in Vile Parle.The Kulkarni house was  a two bedroom apartment was in one of the most decent societies comprising mostly of Maharashtrians. They had moved into this flat around 6 years ago upgrading from thier one bedroom flat in Dadar , another suburb of Mumbai having a mahrashtrian majority. This factor , a majority of mahrashtrians was primarily responsible for them  for this flat over another 3 bedroom flat in another society which had lesser maharashtrians . Both of Abhinav’s parents were adamant on this factor while selecting a flat while Abhinav never had any such criteria.They wanted their only child to grow in such an environment with will inculcate their marathi tradition and values in him. For him , the make of the house was more important than the religion of the people around. His parents were very happy with this flat and with abhinav being a child that time , he did not have much of a say anyway.

Both of them would leave together on their only vehicle a Bajaj Chetak Scooter which was a very prized possession for his father. The only time his father had tears in his eyes was when he saw this scooter for the first time after a wait of 2 years.  Now , our prince Abhinav gets out of his bed looking out for some Breakfast which is usually made at around 9 am for the whole family but wait before that , he witches on his PC and then heads for breakfast hunting. He suddenly remembers that he was stuck on one of the levels of the game he was playing last night and so decides to complete that stage as soon as possible.

He gets engrossed in the game , this is level 5 the toughest level of this stage and hence more enemies to kill. He is giving it his best , trying to make sure he kills everyone in view with either different strategies , different guns. No luck so far , he gets killed down with just 1 or 2 enemies left. Now he decides  lets just attack brutally without any strategy , he starts killing everyone ,  50 enemies reduce to 40 , he moves ahead , the number comes down to 30 and he is in good health. The Killing continues and now he is just left with 10 enemies and good amount of player health and suddenly it is “Tring Tring”. It takes him a moment to understand that it is indeed his phone ringing and by that disturbance he looses his game again.

With a very bad mood the conversation begins

Abhinav : ” Hello”

His mother :  ” Hello beta ,  you got up ?”

A: “  Yes , why did you call ? “

M: ” To enquire whether you had your breakfast “

Abhinav notices it is half past 12 and he is yet to have his breakfast.

A: ” Yes mom , i had it long back “

M: : ” Did you like it , i had made it in a hurry , we got up late and then i had to rush through the morning to get everything in place. Your dad also did not wake me up as always , there is so much work as well today being a Saturday. I don;t understand why people have to rush banks on Saturday. I…..”

A: ” I will talk to you later mom , bye “

Abhinav curses the phone for not letting him cross the stage and makes his way into the kitchen to get his breakfast. The TV is switched on to go with the breakfast.
