MY UNIQUE WINTER TRAVEL!

In 70's after my Graduation in Engineering, I applied for M Tech Degree at IIT, Kanpur and was called for Interview in December month. I had a great Travel to the place from my Town in South. On the way 2 of my friends joined me. I carried certain extra winter clothing with me and I was advised to carry them as Nothern temperatures will quite low in winter season..

It was a great travel of 24 hrs to the Place Jhansi Junction from where we got the connection train to Kanpur. It was  overnight journey as the train started late in the night..

The journey was pleasant with mild winter temperature myself covering with the warm winter wear I carried..

We finished our written test and subsequently Interview and we friends waited one more day for the results..

I got selected for M tech for the Mechanical Branch and my other friends too for their respective Branches..

With great zeal and happiness, we started our return journey to Jhansi boarding train at 1100 PM at Kanpur..

When the train started, the compartment was quite warm with all windows down. I thought the journey of about 5-6 hrs to Jhansi just goes like that. There my estimates of chillness of the place have totally gone wrong. As the journey continued, the chillness of the night slowly increased, and soon my usual sweaters from my place were of no use to withstand those low temps of North..

Soon it was 2 PM in the night, the warmth of the general compartment with all windows down and packed with passengers was nothing with the chillness of that night of the winter touching almost the lowest. In no time I found that cold of Northern Plains was unbearable with the winter wear we use in South in spite of extra coverings put on..

I became almost helpless with my friends in a slightly better position with their planned better extras and I started shivering with no let up..

In no time, the middle aged farmer sitting next to me noticed my suffering and the next moment

Opened out his huge thick blanket over me signaling me to make use of that. Without a second thought, I got in and took full advantage of the great warmth inside for the rest of the night..

While getting down at my destination, as I thanked the God send middle aged person, he silently reciprocated to that with all warmth of his heart!

Soon, we 3 friends ran to the nearest tea stall and gulped very hot tea down the throats and later moved to the warmth of morning sunlight that started slowly spreading around..

Further journey to our hometowns went on smooth as the train started moving towards South!

THE TRUE 'BEAUTY' OF LIFE!

"Let me enjoy life max!"

"Have you taken care of tomorrow?"

"Yes.. All are intact for tomorrow!"

"Have you taken care, beyond?"

"Why beyond required? What I planned for today's well being are all there for tomorrow's well being too!"

"Have you forgotten that today's enjoyment of yours, will leave you a weaker personality to say 'NO' to tomorrow's enjoyments!"

"It's OK.. Why should I say 'NO' to my enjoyments?"

"Suppose enjoying is not feasible?"

"You are too pessimistic!"

"Not Pessimistic dear.. If that really happens, your personality of today will not be the same but very much pulled down one!"

"Then, should I stop enjoying? It's impossible and I don't want to do that!"

"I'm not saying we stop enjoying life!"

"Then?"

"Continue that life with you as is but as much feasible put a question to yourself,

'Is there a better way of living?'''

"That will become nothing but another half hearted life!"

"No.. That questioning makes you stronger day by day!"

"You mean to say, I become a Saint if I do that?"

"I never said that.. You become a personality of certain inner strength wherein

You would be able to stand to odds of life retaining your mental peace to a certain level..

Don't want to be such a stronger personality in your life?"

TRUTH CAN'T BE HIDDEN FOR LONG!

The Dynamic Truth is ever next to me,

I see It with my colored glasses

And feel that

I am Truthful..

People next to me see more clearly what I am

However secret I remain in that respect

And make sure that they never say a word on that..

Whatever said and done,

Conflict never leaves me in the process

And eats me out day and night..

Thus I remain inside a totally lost person

And again, I never want that to be noticed by others,

So I bring out plenty of fake smiles and artificial talks..

That continues endlessly in this life,

In the process I become a fake personality

The fakeness increasing day by day

As if eaten daily, even neem leaf feels sweet

Myself loving my fakeness endlessly..

That can't continue thus forever,

There's a day, I may not answer any one

But sure have to answer the

The Almighty..

That day, rewinding in my life becomes a must

And

With heart twisting agony and pain 

I need to repent that

I should have remained 

Truthful in my life as much,

Whatever was the situation

And would have retained my 

Eternal Peace!

THE GIST OF HUMAN LIFE!

The Dynamic, Vibrant Moment 

Rolled in Majestically..

One human filled IT with specks of all enjoyments,

Paving way for confusion and no peace..

Another filled IT with specks of less enjoyments but rest with morals of life, 

Paving way for some clarity and peace..

The third filled IT with specks of lesser enjoyments and morals but rest with ethics of life, 

Paving way for more clarity and peace..

The forth individual filled IT with specks of still lesser enjoyments, morals and ethics but rest with spiritual aspects of life, 

Paving way for much more clarity and peace..

The last personality filled IT with specks of least enjoyments, morals, ethics and spiritual aspects but rest with Truth oriented activities of life 

Paving way for max clarity and peace with 

Traces of Almighty's Grace Spread All Round..

The Moment Rolled out With Equal Majesty 

Paving way for the Next!

Exactly at that moment from distant loud speakers, Sloka 12 of Bhaja Govindam was melodiously heard being recited with the meaning explained by the side..

'daylight and darkness, dusk and dawn,
winter and spring (do) come and go,
time plays and life ebbs away
but the storm of desire leaves never (the person)!'

A 'CARRY FORWARD MESSAGE' ALL THE TIME!

In the morning hrs, as I was on my usual morning walk in the park near to my house, I noticed 5 cute little girls and 2 handsome boys aged between 6-8 in total attention near a fountain in half sitting pose keenly observing the ground around. As I went close to them, I happened to peep in there and instantly noticed a medium sized caterpillar crawling on the floor tiles.. 

• So majestically he was moving in different directions every time coming back to the same spot!  

I left the scene, made another round of walk and came back to the spot again. The girls and boys were still active, sitting and watching the creature closely. Meanwhile one girl ran and brought a big leaf lying on the ground at a distance. Another girl tried to make the creature crawl on to the leaf.. 

• But they were totally unsuccessful in that as the creature cleverly evaded the leaf every time they brought it close and moved away.. 

For a while, I too joined the children observing the creature.. “He is a Centipede!” a Little One told me with her eyes wide open.. “I've learnt about him in my class..” I assured the children that the creature is harmless and tried myself to take it on to the leaf.. 

• No, he turned back.. For some time it was a graceful dance. I repeatedly tried to push him on to the leaf expecting him to crawl, but every time he turned, rolled over and evaded the leaf so beautifully. All great fun! 

The girls were in attention for some more time.. 

• By that time, the creature moved to the side wall and started its further onward journey.. 

As I made the final round of walk and sat on a near by bench, the children retreated from the creature and moved towards their usual play. I continued sitting there for some time relaxing for a while musing over the finer aspects of life around.. 

• How the Almighty had provided protection to the little creature crawling in front of those golden hearted children who all the time paid their attention to the small one on the ground in a unique manner without disturbing the creature's majestic living and at the same time learning their own lessons of Nature.. Such a wonderful built-in Mechanisms of Survival and Learning side by side!

As I moved from there, I firmed up.. 

• 'This is sure the way of protecting our Nature as is around us as we live gracefully thru' our life with total satisfaction in our hearts and the little boys and girls have shown here in front of me doing 3 things simultaneously with a great happiness in their hearts Viz.,

• Helping out the Nature around to be as is the max,
• Learning Great Lessons in the process for self improvement and
• Be content and joyful with just doing the right there!

If at all I'm carrying forward 

The Best Message all the time, 

This alone is the Right One.. 

• 'I'll never borrow the Little Ones' precious Future Gift God has given them as the Original Nature around for expanding myself and instead work towards preserving the very Nature for them as the Right Future Gift and nothing less of it at any time!
