Destiny, what is destiny and where to find destiny? Here is the answer

Does it ever happen to anyone that you meet someone, you spend nice time together, you both share common interests and by the end of the day you think that you are perfect for each other. Many people may define this thing as destiny. But do you really think that is destiny? Do you really believe that you can find destiny that easily? The answer my dear friend is no.

If everyone found destiny that easily the world would not be like it is today. You may think if everyone living Aon this planet found their destiny the world would be a much better place to live but my friend the answer to this is No. If you’ve have seen a movie called Grace Alimony where god gives his powers to a human and at the end by being frustrated with all those prayers of people he grants all of their wishes. When the lottery result came out everyone who asked god for winning lottery wins the lottery. And people come out on the street and start destroying vehicles, shops, demolishing buildings. The main theme what I am trying to give here is if all the demands of the human kind is fulfilled the world not be a better place to live. It would rather be composed of more hatred, more anger, and more egos.

Just think for a second, what would happen if everyone was rich? The simple answer would be the poverty would not prevail. No one would be homeless; no one would ever get to sleep with an empty stomach, no one would be uneducated and we think this is the ideal society. This is the society everybody wants but my friend you really don’t want to live there.

If Gold was as abundant as metal, would people still wear gold? If you are still wondering about this question just think would you wear a metal necklace today? This is so because the thing that is found least has greater value no matter how bad they are. The same thing here applies for destiny too. And when I mean destiny I am not just talking about when a guy finds his Cinderella or when a girl finds her prince charming. Destiny cannot just be limited. It is vast, it is deep. It either cannot be defined or can be categorized.

People are of different nature and so is their destiny. Someone wants maybe to be a doctor or an engineer. We cannot say that this is not his/her destiny. If he/she find perfect happiness pursuing their dream it is theirs destiny. But can everyone pursue their dream? The answer is no. At least I couldn’t. I am not saying that we cannot find destiny I am saying only some of us can find it. The god or the universe or whatever superpower that made us have made our destiny. But nowadays we have become so busy with our lives that whatever makes us happy we think that is destiny. My friend when you find destiny you become restless, you become emotionless, you become speechless, it makes your heart beat fast and slow at the same time, the pleasure is ineffable like when you see a rainbow after a massive catastrophe.

You can find it anywhere. We just gotta search for it. It may either be in the Himalayas or in front of you.

A glimpse of hope, a shadow of darkness

Does it ever happens to you that when you are going through the toughest or maybe the worst phase of your life out of the blue life showers you with opportunities and happiness. You see a glimpse of hope. Then everything around you turns good, you feel good. You think Life is not so miserable. We start to grab those chances and slowly but steadily we progress. But, we do not know what is planned for us. And when we are just a stone’s throw away from reaching the peak, we feel something moving, something not good. The avalanche destroys all of our hopes, all of our expectations, all of our efforts and progress we made in that time. And we come back to the initial point where life betrayed us and showed the glimpse of hope to us. All of that hard work was useless we may think but my friend the problem is we expect more. The Expectations increase exponentially but reality is a constant. Reality has its own pace. We will discuss about Expectations Versus Reality in our next post.

A small town, My town

Kids in school uniforms running down the slippery stairs of dilapidated buildings. The stench of urine emanating from the open drains that line both sides of the road. Across the road, the pani puri wala filling the puri.

The pretty seventeen year old walking through the crowded market, her beauty not going unnoticed by the young boys at the Tea shop.

A boy pasting film posters on a public wall, "Nasheeli Jawani", written in bold yellow letters across the front, efficiently concealing a woman's breasts, but giving enough of a peek to make the men buy tickets.

The cycle-rickshaw overloaded with ten schoolkids.

The sound of bells and aarti diverging from the Shiv temple, competing with the sound of the Aadhan being sung by the meuzzin of the mosque right next to it.

My town, rather, my father's town: Biratnagar.

To whom It may concern:

You may not know me, but I do know you. When I look into your eyes, everything feels not quite normal. Because I feel stronger and weaker at the same time, I feel excited and the same time terrified. The truth is I don’t know what I feel but that feeling makes me love you even more. I stare you in the class everyday but you didn’t seem to notice. Maybe because you sit in the last bench. I daily follow you to the bus stop, but you didn’t seem to obstruct me. I assumed you liked my attention. But again you don’t speak a single word in front of me. If you are reading this, you know who I am. I am that guy from BS-62.

Poverty in disguise

Have you seen a tramp on the street?
A man who struggles in the heat?
Unable to make two ends meet,
A man who has nothing left to eat?

Homeless fellow, for food he strives,
Yes, this is poverty in disguise.

Have you seen a child living in the slum?
Wondered at the reason he is so glum?
Poor child, is he really dumb,
Or just forced to keep mum?

The inexplicable part of his young life!
Yes, this is poverty in disguise.

Have you been witness to a girl being sold?
'You shall forever be happy,' she is told.
A crook marries her for pleasure and for gold!
And her life rots, just as history foretold!
With trust in false promises, she approaches her demise,
Yes, even this is poverty in disguise.

Sunlight abounds the land every new day,
Shimmers on the rivers from Kutch to Bengal's bay!
Though, sometimes I wonder if it's apt to say,
That the 'cradle of civilization' is still safe to stay!

The rich, void of character, are poor in their own right!
Yes my friends, even this is poverty in disguise!
