Here’s To Hope

Starting a five-year law school with no friends at all was a difficult task. I was determined not to befriend anyone because of my past experiences. But it is said, what’s meant to happen will happen, eventually. And it turned out, I made some amazing friends and made some pretty amazing memories. I was amused, happy, shocked, confused and mostly grateful. From a 5 year torture my law school changed into a sweet ride, at-least for sometime!

The biggest thing I have learned in this life is that things change, they are not stable or permanent. Like everything else around us, life changes. Everyday, every week, month and year, we go through changes, small and big, which mold us into our present selves.

But I realized that everyone around me was broken, in their own ways. And everyone hides the broken parts. Some does so by being mean and resentful towards others, and some by being alone and protecting themselves from further damage, the way I chose. But it is not a wise thing to do. Loneliness is never the option. Maybe for a small period of time,but not always.

I think, what kills us the most is the wait. That is what breaks our hearts and weakens our core. The silent wait and the lost hope.

I am a firm believer of the quote “Everything happens for a reason. Especially the bad ones.”. For me, this is a fact. Not because I’ve heard it, but because I’ve experienced it. Many times. And I’ve also learned that if we lose someone, then that only mans that the void will be filled by someone better, sooner or later.

As Karen Roe quoted in One Tree Hill, “In life, you can always come up with reasons to give up. But if don’t, you might find love in places you never imagined.”

So this what we should do, NEVER LOSE HOPE! No one knows when and where and how their lives will change. Nothing is permanent. All you can do is trust in God, believe in Him and never let the hope of a better future die within you.

After all, hope is what sails us through our darkest times!

The Lost Humanity

When a child is born, great expectations are attached to his birth. The parents wish for him to be successful, to be good to them, to be an obedient child. But isn’t it our duty to provide that child with basic human conditions to live? Isn’t it our duty to let him pursue his happiness instead of imposing our own terms and conditions?

With the advancement of technology one would expect this world to be better. But the truth is, where on one hand, science and technology is developing, our humanity has gone way too down on the other hand. It has become difficult to pass one day without hearing a news of rape or murder or robbery. Instead of helping one another, we are trying to harm each other in every way possible.

On Wednesday, the body of a three year old Syrian boy washed ashore in Turkey. This incident, just like many of its predecessors, shocked the whole world. The social media was full of condolences and hatred. People blamed the growing conflicts which resulted in this incident.

But are these people solely responsible for all this terror and violence? Aren’t we liable for this as well?

From the birth, a child grows in a particular society. He is brought up with a set values of values and morals. We teach the child that we are above all, our religion is above all, our skin color is above all and all the other people surrounding us are inferior. We ask him to respect or culture and shun the others. The child is nurtured in such a way that he becomes just like his successors. Boys are taught how they are above girls, that it is okay for a girl to not to study but not for a boy.

Aren’t we all responsible for such inhuman conditions?

Why don’t we teach our younger ones to be kind and sympathetic. why don’t we teach them to always help others and consider all the other living beings as equal, no matter their religion or caste or race. Why only humans? Aren’t animals our equal?

Is terrorism only done with weapons? Isn’t bullying someone a form of it? Making fun of someone on the basis of their physical appearances, is that good? What about creating conditions for a female to not to feel safe?

To think of it, all we do is divide ourselves with these fictional concepts of race, religion, country etc. And while doing this, we forget our first and foremost quality of being human. Life was meant to be easy. We were meant to be together and not to be divided among ourselves.

A child is always happy. Why? because he doesn’t care about the material possessions of the world. He is always kind, for he doesn’t care about the religion of the person standing before him. But as he grow, his innocence is killed by the toxicity of this world.

So why don’t we start at the smaller level? Why don’t we start with us and make this world a better place to live in?

Hello world!

If something comes to you naturally, without any effort, is that you talent? Or is it just some inkling, an instinct, which comes from somewhere deep inside you? When I want to put my thoughts to paper, all I have to do is just pick up a pen and write. Everything that happens after that is pure magic. The words flow into my mind effortlessly and without a pause I create a small miracle. A miracle, because I know that when I will look at it ten years from now, I will be able to relate to it just like I do now. This miracle consists of my feelings, my views, my thoughts and all other things, whether or not they make sense to me.

So here I am, sharing my miracles with you.
