LEGACY

हज़ारों ख़्वाहिशें ऐसी कि हर ख़्वाहिश पे दम निकले
बहुत निकले मेरे अरमान लेकिन फिर भी कम निकले

Definition of "LIFE" changes as a person matures with the passage of time. Though when one open dictionary to find the meaning of the word life, one will get contextual meaning with which no one disagree but will definitely find it little or more incomplete. That feel of emptiness might not be just confined to this word. So every person would have a different self assessed meaning. During the phase of evolution our ancestors would definitely at some point have realised that the act of mere existence doesnot wholesomely constitute life and death is not the end of it.

The so called dream of living a life such which leaves a legacy behind is not a nowadays phenomenon. History shows us with great prode (sometimes in shame too) that all the wars that were fought, all the enlightened beings that showed mankind the right path according to their own perspective, whether they were driven by that motive or not, can't be proven at this moment but one thing is quite sure that they lived their lives in such ways that after their departure they became immortals since the time immemorial. Wht Alexander The Great came all the way from Macedon to the Banks of Hydaspes? The answer can't be that just to satisfy self. An intense desire for satisfaction just can't enthuse someone to lead an expedition thousands of miles away. Something else would surely have motivated him, what was that? Whether that brave young King too dreamt of leaving a legacy?

At some point of one's life, person questions his very own existence. A query generates , seeking answer about the purpose. They say that there is no age limit to achieve the dreams. But what if there is just not dream, what if there are millions of them. There are people who concentrate their all efforts to achieve that one dream and they know that if they achieve that particular one then s/he gonna get the rest of the aspirations.They are not the universal set of humans , there exist complement too. There are also those who just not aspire of achieving one or two dreams, they want to live many of the million dreams that they have envisioned since they started dreaming. If someone ask them about their dream or that one favourite dream, they find it quite hard to answer as they share same passion for many of them. The best part is that they just not dream about self but their dreams comprises other's dream too. Heroism is not their priority, those people even don't care whether the rest acknowledge their deeds or not. Because of their actions, people start believing in miracles, people start seeing hope. Ordinary humans feel optimism as their experiences begin contradicting their premature understandings about the world being substandard. Maturing is life long process.

They reside inside trees

  entry 66  July 11, 2020 At some level, I like to personify stuff and all might be that’s somewhat acted as immunity against narcissism and hedonism. My Baji (Grandfather) was a straight forward and a bit rough kind of person. One who had served in the army during two very decisive wars (that of ’47, as a young recruit and ’71), It was normal of a person to be of that nature given the circumstances. He was a traveler and an explorer. He bought an Ambassador after retiring of the rank of Havaldar and drove it as a taxi. As a taxi driver, most of his expeditions were limited between Jammu and Srinagar. And how could one forget the heartiest desire of him to take me once to Patnitop, if everything went well. Alas! That could never happen as the incurable disease got better out of him. But one thing was obvious by the way he used to eulogize about Patnitop that that place had a special place inside his heart. And more than the desire of him to take me there I think he himself...

The worst about failure

By
  entry 65 September   9, 2020 This year started with a ray of hope, as usually every year does, that this year I’ll be realizing my dream, this year I’ll turn my persistence to pay all the dues, and that this year I’ll be bringing the happiest moment in my mother's life. I’m a believer in dreams and I dare you that I’ll prove you wrong if you ever doubted my worth. Each one is aware of one’s worth and makes efforts in order to earn admiration. You have seen your fellow men succeed and you know that you are no less than them. You do envy them for a little, then everything becomes as usual and but yes you do solidify your belief of achieving the desire by self-suggestion that if they can, you can. There are no absolutes, only relatives and I dare if some questions this essay’s morality on comparison bias. No matter how personal our goals are, they are inspired via relativity. The worst thing of all failure isn’t the pain inflicted by the result but the thought of again failin...

Don't Laugh Behind Back

By
2015 Who does not want to laugh and make fun. There are a few also who wants to laugh at others. In friends circle, friends laugh massively even the joke is of poor rating and many laugh not on joke but on a person who is telling it or whose fun being made. Sometimes deeds of having fun can exceed limits and can cause misfortune. Only those either who lacks self respect or declared themself as loser make fun of unknown person. " UNKNOWN PERRSON " means unknown person. If you make fun of passerby, start laughing on the way others are dressed or their way of talking, walking and eating than i doubt yourself, and if i do so i doubt self. A teacher is harassing child by hitting sarcastic remarks and you are enjoying, please think by exchanging positions. There are many who comments on passer-by. But for me the ones who are standing beside and laughing are bigger culprits. Laughing is good for health. Being human is a privilege and don't waste it by laughing unhealthily. They...
