THE SEVEN 'EVER GREEN' TRUTHS OF MARRIED LIFE....

  • The saying goes that marriages are made in heaven conveying a meaning that fate alone many times rules there as the actual married life is be physically lived on earth with lot of push and pull a few times making some feel a hell like environment around but all along the sincerity of the partners and presence of the good people from both sides of the relation alone are forever the assets here! 
  • Before marriage, friendship and wooing may look like a honeymoon experience but after marriage they definitely have to face the blazing sun and withstand which of course, does only the ultimate good in one's life.... 
  • Familiarity is forced to breed contempt every where unless one is quite attentive at every moment.... And the fact is... In marriage, the parties are too familiar! 
  • A few times, marriage may become a great pain and separation looks inevitable but that again has its own problems hitherto never imagined where in a lot of attention alone becomes the ultimate safeguard.... Further, one may wish for a better partner after separation but may end up with not so too in few cases! 
  • Saving a marriage may look like swallowing the pride; but pride in front of whom is the question as none else can really assure or guarantee the original dynamism back to life.... 
  • The moment the partner is out of scene, a few 'In-laws' hither to looked so close may look almost like outsiders instantaneously.. It's no wonder here because that's how the reality of life is woven around all of us! 
  • The golden discipline in married life is.... Carry Mutual respect for each and work to core for maintaining the same forever remembering the fact that a few around may look like very close people instantly but are definitely far less before the partner in fulfilling that single unique role!

LET THIS BE NO MORE A 'MISSED CALL' IN MY LIFE!


Yes!  Today the Earth is very much Calling.... And there is not an iota of doubt in this....  Again, we are only the persons here that have to rise to the occasion and respond.... Both at the Individual level and at the Community level and the Conservation of Nature around should be the constant thought in the mind of every one of us.... Else the precious Natural Resources with us are not going to last long.... And our Planet Earth no more would be our dearly loved Home....

To date back, man was very much natural in the beginning and was almost leading a normal life in the society with limited man-made modifications around.... In time, the attractions by the side slowly overpowered him and man started actively interacting with some of those items.... Here the instant correctness required was never asserted with the control part of it coolly forgotten.... Thus, he quickly developed a great interest in using them as they could instantly bring a miracle of change in his presentation and ease in the outside world and endlessly started seeking the additional Comfort which was invariably part and parcel of that.... 

Out of such Fascination, man started using those items regularly daily in his life adding more and more to the Cart continuously.... In course of time, life had become more of Comparison with the next man by the side than required making the cohesive part of human existence sidetracking.... 

As the Fascination was high, a quick solution was sought instead of going to the root cause of all problems.... Patience had no time and that way again quick solutions were readily available whose number was not limited…. And the effect was equally there with a color but that soon faded away exposing the damage it had done in turn.... And soon, all such instant methods were found to be nothing but the stop gap arrangements alone and no firm solution was found in sight…. And exactly speaking, this is the life today we have with us where in the Natural Expression of ours has dramatically undergone a change and is further changing continuously....

Thus, expectation of ‘Quick Results’ in our day to day life with the artificial life woven around has become the basic cause of the problems we face presently in respect of the natural degradation around us.... Our instant actions and knee-jerk reactions for getting over the trivial situations in the fastest way are doing all that damage presently talked of in this context…. If continued thus beyond a limit, Nature is firmly going to put a brake there without a say and those symptoms have already started showing up....

I should always remember that Nature forever expects me be doing a positive effort, keeping off for a while with certain cool and taking returns in limited quantities over a longer period.... Further, while getting out of bad situations that may crop up all of a sudden in my personal life, I should allow the situation to simmer for a while without deterioration by addressing the problem gently and should give minimum time required to recover from the tough situation.... Further too through a firm determination, I should be bold enough to allow the threat to be by the side to some extent, keep myself always prepared to face the attack through a discipline of what is required in the situation and thus be living my life in tune with Nature’s Original Discipline comprising of the key words…. 
‘Allow’, ‘Sustain’ and ‘Refrain!'

In the process of living such a life, naturally the 'downs’ continue for a longer time and my discipline simultaneously should reduce the impact of such 'downs' through timely actions by making use of ancient proven methods and modern convenience providers in equal parts....

Thus our 'Sacred Chant' of today's life invariably goes....


After asserting CORRECTNESS in every aspect of life, let me sincerely start exercising due CONTROL in my life wherever feasible by optimizing the COMFORT involved therein at the back of certain sacrifices, of course all along never leaving the CONVENIENCE aspects of my basic living and thus ultimately try retaining human COHESIVENESS around me 'as is' to the extent possible!

No doubt I cannot unwind all this and once again go back to the original life too as that life once upon a time had its own problems of rawness and a certain brutality.... So let me accept the highly evolved life in front of me as is at the back of certain distinct merits of its own but let me move along from now on-wards with a much required discipline of the day comprising of the following simple activities from my side.... And these activities, perfectly feasible for me in my day to day life if followed with due attention and extra small effort multiplied over days and with the like minded people around too doing the same would soon bring in significant contribution to the task of saving our Mother Earth from the imminent catastrophe which is very much on the anvil this moment....
  • Let the Public Transport be used for certain routine movements wherein hither to I was just looking at my vehicle keys for all such movements....
  • Entertain Car Pooling for to and fro Office travel on days easily feasible to do that.... 
  • Take a walk or cycle instead of taking a ride for moving short distances around....
  • Minimize the use of gadgets at home for a day and go for the old tested manual methods of doing the same works....
  • Eat and drink the various consumables at room temperature on certain days to experience a newness in place of the routine....
  • Take Home remedies for routine minor ailments and thus adapt naturally to the minor ups and downs in health....
  • Adapt in parallel to the usual medication, a different life style for addressing the chronic health issues....
  • Know the chemicals regularly used in life and say 'NO' to a few once in a way where feasible....
  • Engage actively with various body movements required in a situation for the cause of expressing in the natural way....
  • Try and water regularly the plants in the garden and be with Nature for sometime daily....
  • Have no shortcut walks across the grass fields; always take the existing walk paths even if they appear to be a little longer....
  • Enjoy the beauty of flowers of your garden bloom and fade naturally on the plant itself without touching them....
  • Cater a few extra minutes for locating the yesterday's carry bag before going out for daily groceries....
  • Avoid the artificial comfort around for a while and make a habit of exposing to the natural environment existing by the side.... 
  • Let hard copies be done with where in e-papers do the trick without a problem.... And
  • Let me be ever ready to add more to this list which activities would not greatly disturb my routine!
The 16 point Agenda of my discipline here together is very much conveying the right Response for the Earth Calling....Yes....'LET ME TAKE THE CALL!'

THE 'RIGHT PATH' OF ACTION IN LIFE!

Kindly refer to the link for the new edited post on the topic.. Sorry for the inconvenience!

WHO ELSE WOULD HAVE DONE THIS NOBLE TASK?


The smart daughter of the family had her own Specialty in her life.... In fact, from childhood she was a different girl....

When she was in her growing years the dad used to say to her, "We should always be conscious of our innate capabilities and productive work we do in our life.... That alone ultimately if not giving fortunes makes one stand in his / her life as the right individual of certain confidence and respect.... For that, start doing every small work of yours as much by yourself, study well and get a basic qualification to take up a job.... Beyond, depending on the circumstances improve yourself in that direction as much as possible!"

No doubt. those words truly became the basic guidelines for the beloved daughter.... She in time, started concentrating on the real meaning behind the message her dad given her and very much firmed up in keeping it up....

As the Saying goes.... 'A successful man builds his house with the stones thrown at him', the determined daughter too braved certain odds of life as every life may not be smooth all along, achieved what she wanted and thus finally settled with a good job and loving family with her.... And the Message of her dad too forever remained with her!

Years rolled by.... The daughter shifted away from her dad to the distant lands and she became busy in her own way....

In that time, there were a few other changes too.... The dad became a little loner, his age had created his own apprehensions with him and that soon reached a significant level where in he developed a habit of often ringing up and advising his daughter to be careful in life and thus constantly was after her welfare enquiry....

That created a contradictory message in his daughter and she often used to say with smile, 


"Dad! What is this ? You used to tell me not to be afraid of, stand on my legs at every step and feel confident and you are only now frequently advising me to be extra careful all along?"

The dad had no answer for that, used to smile and leave but never left that enquiry and advice....



As life moved on, all of a sudden there came up certain tense moments in the life of the daughter.... Naturally such situations do come in one's life as everything is not in our control and ultimately the Almighty alone has to bestow His Grace on us and we need to wait till the situation improves without losing our confidence....

As the daughter was exactly in the process of doing that, she was frequently getting calls from her dad who repeatedly used to say to be careful in going thru' the situation....

The stress and strain of those days, irritated her a bit and on a day she suddenly gave back saying, 

"Dad! We are doing our best here and taking every care.... The issues in front have to be resolved and our path in front has be cleared of certain hurdles.... We hope that to be taking place soon and everything will be streamlined.... In this context we have taken every care we were supposed to take and as on date things are on the right track..... What else we have to do now? Your repeated telling beyond can do nothing big here.... You should wait for a while!"

The dad agreed to what his daughter had said and promised not to trouble her further....

The talk ended thus and no doubt what the daughter said was very much correct but a strange question came up in her instantly... A very strange question that did not occur to her while she was in conversation with her dad....

Was that answer given to her dad required at all?

As she thought over further, uncontrolled tears rolled over her cheeks and she was totally in ruptures.... 

"What a haughty way I answered my dad? This very confidence with me today is totally built by him adding bit by bit in the years of my growing and made it full.... He alone laid the seed for this, nurtured it well in the initial stages thru' right support and protection and had seen that it reached its minimum level from where that could maintain by itself....

Naturally such a man will ever be interested to see that that Personality be ever safe and be happy in her active stage of life.... His inherent fears to any threat to that Personality are so natural that he is sure bound to follow up every bit there....

That way seen, my dad has every right to tell me a hundred times to be careful and I never have a right to ask him not to do that.... Further, it's always a noble gesture from my side to acknowledge the fact that he had given me everything when I was just nothing and made me today what I am and thus be thankful to him all my life without a say!"

LIFE IS TOO FUNNY!


### The gentleman of 50s was out on his bank work after a series of holidays....

As he entered the premises of the bank, he instantly noticed that the enclosed space of Bank was full of people and he had to wait outside for a while to just enter, subsequently had to wade thru' the crowd to reach his point, with certain difficulty had to grab a small space on the shared desk to fill in a few details on his Cheque with occasional push and pull from the side standing members invariably altering his writing a bit avoiding the same while signing with utmost difficulty....

Having finished the work there, he thought of having his favorite tea 
in the nearby Restaurant relaxing for a while....

To his dismay, as it was lunch time he found the Restaurant full of people taking their Lunch.... Forget about the sitting place, there was no space even at standing counters with the Cashier and Serving Personal not seen in their places as they were surrounded by people and people alone.... He instantly left the attempt and decided to return Home....

The Bus Stop was equally no better, full with unusual crowd after the long vacation along with School Children returning from Half day and there was no space even to stand in the Bus Stop Shelter.... The gentleman just waited to a side in the direct Sun for the City Bus to arrive....

3 Buses full of people in succession came in, stopped because they had to stop and moved on immediately with few strong ones trying to get in with great effort....No doubt, in time the Luxury Bus too arrived with all majesty but a look inside revealed again the same story.... Full with people standing all along the path way!

"Truly a bad day for me.... Appears, I got caught in the worst scenario!" cursing himself he walked a bit away from the maddening crowd in the Bus stop.... 


Suddenly a bus zoomed in and stopped just in front of him due to the extended signal waiting traffic beyond the Bus Stop Point.... The gentleman casually looked at the bus and to his utter surprise, he noticed a totally empty bus in front going to his very point of Alight starting from that point!   Unable to believe the coincidence, he quickly got in and occupied his favorite window seat as the first member in no time followed by flood of people running towards the bus from the Stop Point!

### The man of 40s was boasting himself quite often in respect of the care he took everywhere....

"It's just Maintenance.... Maintenance.... and Maintenance alone here and believe me, nothing else works!

  • "You get your Washing Machine overhauled periodically and that's it.... It never lets you down at any time in your life!
  • You be doing the periodic inside cleaning and defrosting to your Refrigerator, the Fridge works and looks as if  the New Piece purchased yesterday only!"
  • Just be replacing the Coolant of your Air conditioner in time and I guarantee, it will never let you lose your cool!
  • Get the Burners of your kitchen Stove washed and cleaned repeatedly, you will only see the blue flame beautifully glowing all the time!
  • Get your Car serviced every 6 months regularly without fail it keeps the vehicle running well on the road you smiling along with it!
  • Daily cleaning and  periodic dis tempering of your home surely keeps all the rodents and pests safely in their hideouts!
Suddenly, he fell ill seriously which was never expected and was recovering.... Some one who visited him was heard saying softly.... "All along the gentleman was so busy in maintaining his gadgets and home, he just forgot to maintain his own good health for a while!"

### The young man perspiring profusely had arrived at his destination saying aloud.... "My God, what a heat! I just walked 2 Kms in this scorching sun with this load thinking that it's nothing, but I'm gone... It's too tiring!"

The elderly of 60s said...."Dear! I too did the same an hr back and arrived here.... But it was OK!"

The young man was too amused, "What Sir?  At your age, you say that you were OK with all that strain?"

"Yes Dear!" the elderly said coolly.... "The only difference is.... I walked the distance slowly, resting a few times in between, drinking water in between, keeping the load with me down a few times again in between my stops and thus reached the place.... And that was sure OK for me, no problem!"
