It's Gotta Really HURT

A guy shifted to a new house, his close friend stayed just across the street.

For his first day in his new home he had an awesome time with all the new furniture’s, the garden, the kitchen, the washroom everything which was picture perfect. He was feeling so right about the situation that his JOY knew no bounds. The day passed and finally it was time for him to hit the sack as he was dead tired, he just flung himself and was asleep before he knew it. But then some disturbing crying/weeping/howling sound just woke him up and he could not continue sleeping as this sound was disturbing him. He just looked out through his window and saw a dog just outside his friend’s house crying in pain. He just somehow managed to find more sleep that night.

This continued for a few days before he could take it no more, he just decided to go to his friend’s house and inquire about the Crying DOG.

Once he knocked his friend's door, his friend came out and asked, what happened?

He asked why is the DOG crying..?? To which his friend replied that there is a NAIL/SPLINTER just below where the DOG is lying down.

He was like what..? Then why does the dog not move away....??

His friend then says, the NAIL/SPLINTER is not hurting the DOG enough.

That's exactly how we never ever move away from a problem because we really cling on to it until it
really really Hurts/Kills us. This happens mostly in relationship where one partner normally tends to take on all the abuse only because it isn't hurting enough. It also happens in very many other situations in life as we are very used to whatever has been happening for a very long time and that we have not really adapted to the changes around us.

One really needs to understand the gravity of the thing and never ever writ in pain when all that one has to do is MOVE ON before any further damage is really caused to our very nature.

Smiling BERRY

Some day last month both my phones simply went OUT OF ORDER.

The Sony Erickson just Blanked Out and my Nokia battery got pregnant.
I was without a Mobile for almost 2 weeks, feeling completely free and joyous.
I was simply UNTRACEABLE and given the fact that I love travelling and moving around places,
it became really difficult for friends and family to get a hold of me. I thoroughly enjoyed all the time that i had.
Went on Night outs with friends, played snooker all night, cricket, roaming all around Delhi, getting around loads of institutes and many many crazy stuff.

When Dad got back to Mumbai from Chennai all he wanted to do was to get me a phone, cause he was so fed up of not being able to trace me. We went to the store to get a new mobile and all i did was sit move around in the Mall without really getting close to DAD. All I did was put in a word in my Mom's ear telling her that BlackBerry is what she has to look out for. My Dad was still going through all the mobiles and not very very sure of which one to buy. That's exactly where Mom steps in and says, get him that Black berry Thing that he wants as it is his Birthday next month, and this would be a great gift. Mom increased the chance of getting the mobile many many folds when she added this last statement where she said If thats the phone he wants, then he would surely get one soon once he starts working and that's not long from now.

Within No time i had this BLACK BERRY CURVE.

Whoah... What a Smiling Berry.....!!!!

Still Mom's Kid

I don't really remember all the crazy notorious activities and how i learnt most things that i did when i was a kid....

How i managed to crawl off onto the pathway...
How i managed to find something to eat...
How i learnt to switch on the TV....
How i would open the fridge and sit next to it....
How i would pee in the shoes....
How i would get into the lifts...
How i spoke for the first time....
How i learned to walk....
How i walked my way to school
How i learned to say ABC...
How i learnt numbers.....
How i rode a bicycle.....
How i drove a car n bike....
How i acted in a play....
How i learnt travelling alone....
How i played cricket....
How i began learning to play the Violin...
How i began using the telephone....
How i began taking care of the fishes in the Fish tank....
How i learnt having food in the dining table....
How i learnt using the spoon....
How i had my first scoop of ice cream....
How i got into my first fight....
How i enjoyed driving sitting in my Dad's lap in the car....

and simply pretty much everything that i did for the first time in life.....

It was all simply so very well taken care of.....

Off late for some reason, mom just saw some concern in my eyes.....
Se came up to me and asked me as to what happened....

I told her, most of my friends have started working some place or the other whether they like it or not. I told her that i didn't want to rush myself into a job that i really don't wanna do. She listened to me very calmly and once i was done she casually replied

I have taken care of you for 26 long years...
ever since you were a tiny little kid.....
a few more months can never hurt me.....
You are my sweet heart is what she said... again

leaving me completely amazed.

She just displayed the true essence of how mother's love is.... I just felt so so happy to be her SON. I only had tears of gratitude and love. I wish i learn more on acceptance and love from her.

She just said always remember one thing,

"It never really matters how u start the race all that matters is how strongly you finish the race"

It is not that i am SAD or something but then i just suddenly happened to have some concern on that day as i got into a few discussions with a few friends.... and that was it..... PHEW
