Solid Defence - More Infliction

Hello Folks
getting over is another day of the year and coming tomorrow are another hopes...
And here we are back with some serious thinking business.
Today lets talk about life - surely life isn't serious but requires serious analysis.
I hope that all will agree that life is never the same always - just like a flowing river. It has crests and troughs , ups and downs.
What we need to do during the crests we need not talk about it...
we all wish that this time stays forever but the flow is turbulent , there are depressions so , during those we fight hard to gain the heights again or I should say we strive for the pursuit of happiness.
But lets talk about that particular , very special state , in general linguistics known as 'The Hardships'.

Well just think you get a job of $ 10k a month , how would you feel?
you will be happy , obviously you will be , you parents would feel proud of you , by seeing this - their happiness , again you will be more happy.
you will spend on things you have coveted for long.
you would probably get the latest sedan in the market or a thunder sonic bike , your status in the society will be lifted, and eventually people will be envious of you.
thats all or can be a thing or two more but that would only exaggerate your bliss.

well I can feel how elated you would be feeling right now after reading these lines but wait , lets dive a little deeper.

All the above mentioned phenomena is very common to you , to me and to everyone out there I suppose.
Now , I want to judge a person , his will power , his positivity , his persona , his mettle.
the question is can I?
How can I?
Everyone is happy for getting a job of $10k a month.

To solve our purpose lets try to frame a solution by pondering over the contrary side.
The Hardships.--------------
I work damn hard , with diligence and skill.
I give my full to every task I undertake.
I land up with no job or say a job of $100 a month which is far under what I deserve.

What I should do?
(Now be careful)
Have a look what Mr. A,B,C and S do...

Mr. A
I lose hope , I am depressed .I curse myself for being such an asinine.I feel indignation for god. I yell at back of my boss, my colleagues.
I keep normally now in a sulky mood.
I shout at everyone , there is no justice in this world.
To hell with everyone! To hell with this world! What a Fish !

Mr. B
Oh my god , I cant believe this . No this is impossible , I mean see him man , he does not has even 10 % of my potential and earns about 100 times that I do.
Disgusting!
Why I studied? Why I did not slept for nights and days?
Why , When everyone was having a carousal ,I was swimming in the books ? Why I was Supplicating to GOOGLE ?
Why?
There is no place for me in this world.
I am ruined .
Everything has finished.
SO , I QUIT!
BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BREAKING NEWS : A XYZ GRADUATE , Mr. B , COMMITS SUICIDE .



Mr. C
Oh Man! this should not have happened.
Where I left any stone unturned ?
Well but now there is no point beating about the bush , so lets get on with what I have got.
If this is the result of working hard then its good not to.
So many problems I overcame.
So many hardships I suffered.
Still the consequence is this.
Perhaps I am not skillful enough.This is my destiny.


Mr. S
Whew! not a price which I deserve but nevertheless something is much better than nothing. Its good that I would gain some experience while I can make more plans for a bright future and lets get to know the firm , who knows there can be a growth potential that I can explore take the organisation to heights.
Lets show them what I have got in bags for them and I will also get to apply my knowledge and explore the real world difficulties so that I can be careful in future.
I have worked hard and hard work pays , though a little late sometimes but it does pays.
I got to be patient and look for the doors of opportunities.
Lets get ready!


So folks !
Were you able to see the difference?
Were you able to make any judgments?
Which one you would like to be?

Well any one you choose but the point I wanted to make clear I suppose I have done justice.
It is the tough times in which a man is tested , same applies for a woman also!
Moreover, there is one more observation I would like to share.

You study i class V
you give the examination and are promoted to class VI.
now again in the final examination I give you class V paper.
What happens?
A fish for you!
but you did not got the chance to practice the things you learned in standard VI.
Now if go on giving you a class V paper every year would you learn anything ?
you would become pampered and unaware of the parlous difficulties that exist in the world.

Now, try to think on parallel lines...
If you overcome a hardship , a suffering you are made stronger , you learn how to handle pressure situations.
You become perspicacious.
Thus , you unlock the next level of problems , difficulties , hardships in your life.
You master them also and then again the higher level is reached.
The loop goes on - "STRONGER YOUR DEFENCE , YOUR RESISTANCE BECOMES , MORE SUFFERINGS TURN YOUR WAY"

The key is not to lose hope but to hit hard in face of every difficulty , to implement what you have learned at every level.
But then how I become happy?

You are happy at every level itself because you achieve something on passing a level.
Aren't you happy on being promoted to class X.
the degree of happiness or say the result in our example depend upon how hard you hit the boulder.
How well you handle pressure , how you maintain you cool , how much positive you are.

With great Defence comes great pains but also great achievements.
So that at last , in life , the higher the levels you have unlocked , the more you have achieved.

The whole world remembers you forever.
Your name becomes immortal.
You appear as an inspiration in millions of textbooks worldwide.
This is eternal glory.

So never be frustrated that your sufferings and hardships are going on incessantly.
but try to focus on the other side , your achievements , be proud for them , be happy to get them.

Life has two parts - one to be lived , enjoyed with your loved ones and the other to be dealt with valor and mettle.
Learn to be resilient.

I hope reading this would have motivated you.
It does the trick for me.

Do not fear , Only be Lively!

Life is not that serious...

Truly Life is not to be lived seriously otherwise we do not call that person full of life any more.
From my previous postings some would have thought of me belonging to the philosopher's coterie but it isn't true , I am no sophist.
Its just that sometimes I do like to wonder about such things , which I thoroughly enjoy also.
Nevertheless lets talk about some fun today , about me
Very explicitly , I'm Siddharth Saxena , currently persuing B.Tech CSE from IIIT - Jabalpur.
Aspiring for MBA this year.
Born in Kota , subsequently brought up in Bhiwani and now since last 5 years - a Delhite.
that doesn't even constitute for the appellation itself but will for suffice for the moment.
May be I would share the whole story someday via my auto biography....
Well today I took perhaps the fastest ride on bike.
A friend going to IITK left I card in the hostel itself.
Train was to leave at 8:30
We started at 8:20 and reached at 8:29 covering a stretch of about 12 km.
Thrilling ride it was and I was just able to complete the job.
Thank God.
As the End semesters are approaching near the pressure has started building.
Weather is festive.
The air is all about some sweet Quizzes , delicious assignments , mouth watering presentations and the ever lasting beautiful projects.
Its amazing how I have used the Synonym - Antonym combo to impart beauty to the above lines.

" A man is not known from what he is beneath
but from the deeds he does."

Any guesses....
No they are not from one of my philosophical thoughts but these are the moving lines in the "Batman Begins".
Christian Bale was prowess and the platitude of Katie Holmes was unparalleled.
Another good Fantasy archetype...
Today there is an unusual calm in the air...
May be its the silence before the upcoming storm or
I would rather go with this one..
"the cessation of perpetual staccatos from the lectures by our Professors"
well
I am feeling much peaceful right now and hope that this calm continues though I am geared up for the upcoming battle.

Har Har Mahadev !

The Dark Light

The dark light - a great irony in itself but it is an inevitable truth of this world.
Good and Evil , Bliss and Sufferings , Zeus and Hades all go hand in hand , they are complementary.
It depends solemnly on the human mind which side of the coin he gets to his destiny.
It may not be possible for anyone on the scientifically and mathematically surging Earth to efficaciously turn the outcome of a coin toss in one's favor but on the Earth of wisdom it depends only on human perception and decisions to choose any one side of the coin.
The Buddha is our integral self and so is the Devil.
From long saints have followed the path to achieve salvation. what they do?
what enlightenment do they achieve?
They learn control over their inner devil.
They increase the strength of the Buddha in them.
In our hard times very easily we do play the blame game.
Instead of calming ourselves , rectifying our mistakes and boosting the saintly forces in us we become destitute of hopes.
We fail to notice the Sunrise and just coming so far near the light source we loose the battle and succumb to evils of depression , bad luck and misfortune.
Luck is nothing more than the meter of one's positivity - the more optimistic I am the more lucky am I.
It requires great alacrity to strive perpetually on the thoughts of optimism but it does pays in the end by reducing the sufferings and imparting a practicality to our attitudes.
Yesterday , I went to the roof of my hostel to welcome him - The God of light
The Sun
The cool morning breeze brushed my body , removing the heat of sorrows and negative energy, tranquilizing my mind.
I could feel my every integral atom finding solace , sanguineness.
The twilight laid the red carpet for him and then in a few moments over the horizon i could see glowing rays scattering from the epicenter as if racing , competing from one another to sweep out the darkness as swift as possible.
and then the chariot arrived , he gave 'Darshan'.
swiftly his gleaming forehead started escalating the heights from under the deep blue oceans.
I was ineffable.
My mind achieved the bliss and my heart was rejoicing.
I was healed.My sins washed away in light and with new hopes , stronger hopes I started my day.
A half an hour in the morning to welcome the Light God fills cheerfulness in our whole day.
One who is blessed by him doesn't fears from the night instead the hope that the new Light brings everyday provides an impetus to a self.
I am sure every single being after experiencing this light will rejoice as much.
Taking the closing stance I would suggest the homosapien to trust in wisdom of soul , wisdom of hopes and keep fighting the battle with dark with great valor and mettle.
Now or later the darkness will succumb.

Siddhartha

The Journey Starts

Yes , the journey has already started to find the Siddh Artha of myself but from today I will keep up with words also.
I frankly abhor this part as I have always believed that one's fervent emotions and knowledgable enlightments cannot take the form of words in its pristine form.
However , I will try to do full justice to this act.

As the world knows me by this name so it becomes my foremost duty to find the essence "the Artha" of my existence.
Though these will appear to be the thoughts of a sophist , which they are , there is an eerie twist in my tale.
Where most of the people follow austereity and give up the corporeal pleasures of this world , in my journey I will find myself alongwith living this material life also.
I have no other option also.
A middle class boy cannot expect to renounce everything to follow this path.
I have people to care about , I have dreams to live upon.

So today begins a strange voyage of mine to discover the Siddhartha in me parallel to fulfilling all the worldly responsibilities.

I will share my experiences - the spiritual ones , the corporeal ones , the emotional ones so that if ever a restless soul takes the road to find certain answers then the words of light can help to serve the purpose.

Enlightment cannot be achieved by means of teaching or passing the knowledge.
It resides in us , in our soul , and the means of acheiving it is introspection.

With these closing words I let go off my mind to dive again in those real world issues to think upon.
