AND MILES TO GO BEFORE I SLEEP

I must have done something very nice in my previous birth that in the most beautiful day of my life till date may 29 ,1991 I was sent to the most supportive and understanding family. I think every person will call their family to be the same but my family is genuinely the kingdom of love. It was not quiet affordable for my family by then but I can say I was born with a pure golden spoon. I was always pampered and cared by everyone. Some of the members are quiet introvert but I know they care for me even if they don’t display. Apart for a golden spoon there was a golden stick to for making me move in a right path. It makes me realize of what I am in every stage of my life. When I was small I use to think why I am in this place? What are all these going on? I was very small at that time people can’t answer my innocent question because I was quiet small to understand the big bang theory and all other big heavy words which still now kills us in exams. Then my fantasying mind plays its game and I created a believer of mine that may be we all are actor and actress just like Ekta Kapoor serials do, there may be some hidden cameras somewhere in the house. May be our shows were telecast in god’s televisions. I have asked many about these questions but till now the answer of these questions is blank. While having a morning walk with my father I always notice s lots of pigeon in the ways and always wonder what if I also have wings. I will go and find out what is beyond the blue blanket and where it end and who tear its cotton out to make different pictures and who stitches them. I still now think the same. The matured Einstein Boyle’s law alpha omega brain now still has the sweetness of childhood. May be the golden stick was wand very softly which made me more than a little bit of immature. I may not have the power to prove myself to the world who and what I am? But still I struggle to do it. And I know someday I will prove it at least to myself to get those blank lines filled of those questions. Just like a long dark night journey in a fuggy and dusty road of Pune to Mumbai, the path of our life is unfolding in a slower pace little by little. I don’t know what the other turn will take me to. I don’t care for future I never have and I always think that is my mistake but I honor the mistake too. Let it be what it is there is no time to sit and analysis in this point because it’s evening by now and I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.

CHARACTER OF A PERSON

The creativity of a person‘s soul is what we call as character. It is the fluid that reflects ones heart. Character is not just what we try to display for others to see, it is who we are even when no one is watching but god. The great Abraham Lincoln once said, “Reputation is the shadow. Character is the tree.” It is the foundation for all true success. A person may have money, position, or power, but unless he has character he or she is not considered to be truly successful. Character is not a birth mark that is firm and constant which we acquire from the time we first cried. It is just a charioteer of learning. The character that we experience in our life by many mentors gradually becomes our own character. The footprints of many great people in the sand of time are the tools of these mentor used to build up our character. People eventually neglect our forefather bad deeds and image themselves as someone beyond perfect to make them our role model or hero. But the fact is these so called heroes and heroines are ordinary crowd and nobody under the sun is “perfect”. But in the face of a character builder they are. There is not a single society born in this earth till date that has the bitterness to teach its world what is not perfect. So the character of a person follow is basically the character of the so called great people which is been drained out in the candle of principles and values. But at the end of the day from the good character of the heroes and heroines we can see what character this society cherishes and by this way we can know something about the inner world of the people surviving in it. To sum up, heroes and heroines are more often than not realistic figures and if we try to understand the character of a society through the understanding of its heroes and heroines we should take great care because of the false image they may represent. Nevertheless, it is still a useful way for us to get a better understanding of the character of a society indirectly. Like the great lord Buddha once said Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.  Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.  Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.  Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.  Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.  But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
