Another new year

This is the time to say goodbye to the year 2009 and warmly welcome another precious new year 2010. I hope this year may give peace and joy to the world. Let’s prepare ourselves for a new life and to try new good things. Hope you all are agreeing with me. Anyway new things are really better than old things since they let an opportunity to think better, and to live better. Let’s believe we all are born newly. Let’s forget the wounds of past but will never forget the lessons we learnt. Coming year may be the best in life. We might face a lot of opportunities to prove ourselves. We may meet good friends. We may get chances to help others. We may realize truths. I really hope this year will bring more joy, peace, freedom and equality. Let’s believe only good things will happen. WISHING you A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Trueness in city life

Recently I went through some of Arundati Roy’s writings. She was born in a small village of Kerala.

“I think the kind of landscape that you grew up in, it lives in you. I don't think it's true of people who've grown up in cities so much, you may love building but I don't think you can love it in the way that you love a tree or a river or the colour of the earth, it's a different kind of love” Arundhati mentioned.

It is very true. Buildings do not make such long term emotional relationships. I still love the tree which was there in our home yard in which I used to study under its shadow during my school exams. I really loved to study in such a natural environment. Even though I left my hometown, I am living with the reminiscences of its environment. When I visited there last time, It was blessed me to visit some villages. The environment was such Greeny. Thus it made an opportunity to see those beautiful birds which I had never seen before. Each corner of the village had camera trees. So that I am still able feel the smell of them. What I could observe there is that people and the natural environment have a strong relationship. There lifestyle is based on environment. And the people were happy than us (who live in cities). It is because they are not chasing behind something that they don’t have. They don’t believe in money is the only factor that decides their lives. Even after I left from there, I am missing the trueness of the village life and those people’s true love. I feel love in city life is also just for fun, money and something else. It is very hard to find the trueness here. City friends are even like that. When they do meet, they start shaking, chatting and etcs to prove their companionship. When they go to other places, they find some other fun companions and that’s it, the meaning of friendship ends just with fun. City lives go only with saying ‘hi’s and byes. No one really knows who their spirit mate is.

An ambitious run

I keep on running everyday, every minute, every second. Sometimes I am tired, irritated, reluctant, confused and asking myself whether I can finish my run successfully. I don’t know how I would feel if I stop this run in my half way. Each minute I meet new faces and am preparing myself to be not reluctant to face a new life. I am running with my joys, encouragements, discouragements and with the happiness of meeting new good persons and with the confusion of why I met some people who are so far from me and with only the soul of memories of those who I have lost on my way. I could hear some voices while this ambitious run, saying that I can achieve my target. Anyway only thing I can certainly say is that I am not so far from my target. No longer, it may be a few years, I will achieve it. When I started running, I thought it will be so easy to achieve it as I had no idea about how it would be. Thus I did see it only as a small dot. But later on, this dot started to grow. It didn’t take time for me to realize that I needed more energy. On my way, I met incidents which made me so tired, so sad and so discouraged but on the other hand, they all forced me to run solemnly towards my target. There were flowers on my way and also stones which tried to pull me out of my way. So I got wounds but no longer, I had realized these all are the prices that I am paying to gain something. Anyway, now this is the time to run fast as I am very near to my ambitious point. Now it seems like a globe and I could not see that dot which was there when I started running. All the pains are gone. I feel very certain in the trust of achieving this. I am becoming so energetic, so optimistic and so hard working and asking myself how I could change like this. Anyway the answer is I am so solemn in my ambitious run.
