Living in a SELFISH world?

Went to 'Shani Dev ji's' temple today in the morning before commencing our journey to the capital of the nation, New Delhi.
There, i actually observed a rather disturbing, but a very true scenario of people's thinking. Although, its quite common now, but it took my attention for the very first time in my life.

We were just outside the temple when the curtains were rolled down. It meant that the aarti was just about to begin, & as you all must be knowing, it takes time for aarti to finish & then only the curtains will be rolled up. So, with this process in progress, the priest of the temple, there, was performing his daily rituals- standing in front of every sculpture one by one & then said his prayers. One of the sculpture was actually outside the premises. So, he went outside tearing the mass of devotees, which had gathered by then. & that's when my mind opened up & looked beyond what actually was visible. The priest was taking a bit too long outside. Everyone had their faces towards the main sculpture, 180 degrees from the main gate, from where the priest was to enter. So, every time the bell behind, in d last row, was rung, everyone looked back with a glitter of hope that the priest has arrived & the aarti would commence any moment now (since the aarti is always complemented with the ringing of bells), hence they can see their GOD, pray for whatever they had been desiring & leave as soon as possible,since it was taking there precious time out of their extremely busy schedules. But to their dismay, thrice they looked back, & thrice, they were left disappointed with yet another desperate devotee entering the temple & ringing the bell. By the time the priest arrived & rang the bell, a couple of them had left & one more was about to. When he rang the bell, many of them again looked back with hope & you could easily sense their happiness because one of their most important, recent wishes, to their GOD (which surely must have been to send in the priest as soon as possible) was fulfilled. Now i could see a glow in their eyes which was much much greater than what i saw after they had their offerings done to their GOD(s). Everyone was pushing to get first in the line.
Now, the situation i just described which took almost 2K words & 27 mins of writing longed just 4mins. & everyone was just so desperate to try not to waste those 4mins. & why not, since it was for their own selfish interest. They can waste half an hour waking up late, 15mins extra applying soap onto every body part, 10mins extra on eating the regular breakfast, but...but they don't have 5mins for their respective GOD(s), from whom they expect every of their wishes to be fulfilled in any situation they put GOD in.

That's how much selfish this world has made us, or...or, it might just be the other way round- that's how much selfish we've made the world around us today.
So, are we actually living in a selfish world?
A firm YES. A selfish world we ourselves created.

Love: an eternal bond!

Tis just an effort to describe the feeling of love... Everyone knows, it cannot be defined & hence, every effort leading to the same has not been quite a fulfilling one. LOVE is-
* when you feel all the romantic songs have been written keeping you in mind.

* when you can't spare the involvement of your partner in any & every situation you encounter in your life.

* when tears flow out of your eyes thinking of the moments you spent with her in the past, & you think you're crazy, but still, you love it...

* just thinking about the happy & the naughty moments spent with her brings a wide smile on your face...the widest one is still in waiting, & you know that.

* acting like MADS, & walking along in your own dream-world, anywhere, be it your private room or a public Mall...but you don't care being called a MAD, instead, you just love it.

* day dreaming: you just can't stop imagining unimaginable situations with your partner...starting up your own kingdom, having a moonlight dinner on the top of eiffel tower, a walk by the beach at midnight in environment-friendly whites,& lot of other specifications.

* when you feel you know her the best...better than anyone else in this world, besides her parents(but ofcourse you want to beat them too).

* sometimes talking to yourselves, pretending her to be sitting besides you, you start a conversation, & then say her replies too, since you know her the best. In short, a way of keepin yourself busy & romanticizing.

* when meeting her, you fear to look at your watch, or any other source that shows you the time, because you know, a lot of time will pass-by in no time...

* she always makes you get interseted in her talks, be it regarding her footwear, or even the pythagoras theorem. All the time, you just want to look at her & let her do the talking.

* sparing out every free moment to get together...even 20 minutes would do.

* when you just can't control yourself gettin a little jealous of everyman she talks about, even if he is a 3-year old baby. You just don't want to share her with anyone, at any cost.

* she is priceless to you.

* missing your special one whenever you are apart, but somehow feeling warm inside beacuse she is close in your heart.

* you never like to hear sorry from her.

* when you don't want to sleep, because reality is better than a dream!

* love never diverts you, instead it inspires you.

* when you always wanna be awake, just to see her sleep.

* when you are able to see her with closed eyes.

* even with yourself being in the crowd you miss her.

* you find her in your every thought.

* to live for someone, love someone, but sure that someone is ONLY one!

* when you start fearing death!

Happy-times: not so Happy

Sometimes in life we just feel like kicking ourselves out of this world because nothings moving along for us. We think we are deserving, but GOD has some other plans & hence we start cursing our destiny & ofcourse, our favorite GOD(s)...
Isnt that right?
I believe it is.
But now comes the happy part- the success times- or should i say the testing part(you'll come to know why i said this in the coming portion)
Oh yes! The success is back, the GOD's with me again, im getting what i deserve the most & its my hard-work paying atlast.
We feel less burdened by our own expectations & yes, in a sense we are on earth, but without GRAVITY...
Life moves along very swiftly, we achieve our goals & are satisfied with our performance.
Are these the happy times we have been searchin for long, desiring from the deepest core of our heart?
Yes, they are.
A happy mind & a soulful body.
& what next?
Here comes the most important part of this piece of my writing:
As soon as we feel like being at the peak of our performance & think that nothing can go wrong, something is going wrong behind the whole of this scenario.
Its in our brains, our minds...
The thinking process becomes susceptible to the thoughts, the thoughts which rule our minds during various very common situations.
We think we are on the right path & taking the right decisions, but that, that is just an illusion, an illusion caused because of the good times we recently had, the success that we recently had.
We are not completely able to decide what's right & what's wrong. But that too is not the real problem.
The real problem is that we never get to know when we go wrong.
Success is the most difficult to handle among all the situations we face in our life. For the whole of our life we desire success everyday, pray to GOD to listen to us & fulfill our desire for success & happiness.
And when we do get what we had been wanting since long, most of us start committing mistakes, mistakes which we never thought of commiting, we never meant to commit.
But excitement rules our mind. & when we
experience the consequences, that's when we realise that something has gone wrong with the proceedings in the past.
But where? We try hard to find the root, &
And when we do find it, & try to rectify it, we are late, late enough to bear the curse of broken hearts, broken relationships which were at once a part of us...
But why is success so hard to handle?

Why cant we remain happy for long?

Well, the answer to the first question is quite simple & accordingly apt to the text:

"Think before you do & think twice before you speak."

a new Beginning

Writing has always been a passion for me. I never had a specific field of life to focus upon, & write on that topic, rather my writings range from sports, to music to politics & finally to people's psyche.
Psychology has always remained a hot favourite in my list & most probably will remain.
I try to appoint three different point of views regarding the same topic, one from the brains of a child, other of a middle aged man & finally the old age specimens of our society. I never guarantee that my writings are true feelings of the above three generations, in which our society is divided, but I'll surely intend to make my readers believe in my writings, make them feel close to your hearts, so that you can easily relate yourselves, & see your lives in them. Hence, ill try to personalise the writings as much as possible. And the comments will always be welcomed, be it positive, or negative. And please let it be genuine comments.
I'm not a pro at writing, nor am i an amateur at it. I write for my own pleasure. My vocabulary would not be high, over your heads, but will be kept as much simple as possible. I never have been a fan of using a dictionary while reading, rather i always favour understanding the article in one go, & not wasting your valuable time. After all, its truly & well said-"time and tide waits for none". And hence, i wont be taking more of your time, & will leave you for your own magnificent life.
Enjoy it. & take care, because this world wants you...
Good day.
