It’s good to be stupid sometimes


There is a friend of mine who always have a very justified and clear explanation of everything concerning life, which most of us call “being on morally high ground” and there have been times when I too walk on the same road.
 But then there is this crazy, rather stupid part of me which thinks that why should there be this abiding all the time, why is there always an inner voice preventing us to get out of our comfort zone and do something which we have never done, why is this inner voice always contradicting that particular flare of doing things our away. Rather than going “by the book”, why ain’t we bold enough to write our own book.
And among all this thinking, there is this voice shouting out loudly from my conscience, all my contemplations point out towards one reason and that reason is “fear”. It’s the fear of being judged, it’s the fear of losing the so called self created “moral high ground”, also it’s the fear of latter regretting what we are doing now, fear of being called “stupid” latter,which prevents us from satisfying that flare.
 ”Shall I put on this dress for the party? O no I look a bit fat in this…” “Shall I ask her out some day? O no I wonder, I get a no…” “Shall I move on further with this relationship? O no I’m too apprehensive if it will work or not…” these are a few questions most of us encounter every day and it’s one or the other fear I have described earlier which prevent us to satisfy that quest of ours. And I have finally started believing that sometimes we ruin the fun by over thinking.So what, if there will be some moments when a few tears may drop by your eyes, but this is how we learn and believe me or not, it also something that adds spice to life.
 “You gotta be a bit crazy to enjoy life to its fullest”.
Being disciplined will no doubt fetch you with great results and I too totally agree that it’s very necessary in life. But sometimes it’s good to give it all a break, and be a bit stupid and satisfying every single spark igniting in our mind, never fearing the outcome, never regretting anything latter. There isn’t anything more revitalizing than “being a bit stupid sometimes”. If you don’t believe me, go for a shot and you will realize that every single bit of it is correct.

    I feel pretty much connected with your post. More with this part- Rather than going “by the book”, why ain’t we bold enough to write our own book.
    And I am doing it - I am writing one.
    We almost always come across these situations in life where you have to choose between morals and going stupid I would say and it is part of life.

We say life’s not fair While complaining about the flavor less food in the mess While we are not able to get a seat to sit on a railway platform While criticizing the system for making us stand in a long queue at a movie theatre We say we are confused Confused of not knowing Which attire to purchase for a friend’s wedding Confused in choosing a restaurant to party Among all these complaints And confusions   Can we all just stop for a moment And look around…   Look around for   the construction worker who is in fact unaware if he will be able to   get two time bread and a room to sleep and relax each morning he wake up... look around for the maid who don’t even have two piece clothing to cover herself up who feels stranded of not being able to buy even a mango on her child’s demand... we say we are bewildered bewildered about which dream to chase and which direction to pursue In between this thought   juggling stop for a moment and look around   look around...

Talks are cheap but life’s not. Life is precious and worthy, it must be respected and loved as who can say that the coming moment will be the one which is going to change it all, the pain of losing a loved one is tender. When the newspaper speaks of the death tolls in a terrorist attack or a bus accident or a young boy losing it all in an accident, for a moment it seems how unpredictable this life is, how an instant changes it all and all doors to meet the person who defined your existence once are closed and you are left with a lot of talking moments and so many flash backs. How strange it appears that we plan so much about our future, how the things will be when we turn 25, when the strange truth is that we can’t even predict about tomorrow and this is the point which presents the fact that everything around is just a delusion. We lead a life where everything is ours yet we own nothing.  These lines correctly portrays it all “who can say where the road goes, where the day flows”...

गर्मियों की छुट्टियाँ

दो महीने की लम्बी छुट्टियाँ , दादी और नानी के घर पर बिताती ... रात को दादी की राजा- रानी की कहानियों में , खुद को  राजकुमारी मान कर ,  अपने ही सपनों में खो कर, सो  जाती ...    सुबह उठ कर, नानी के संग पूजा की थाली , फूलों से  सजाती और  उन के भजनों, के दो-चार शब्द  जो समझ आते, उन के साथ गुन-गुना कर बड़ी  खुश  हो जती ...  दादा के संग बजार घुमने जाती, और पड़ोस के चाचा की दुकान  पर   बैठे, लोगो को,  राम- राम साहब कह के,  उन से चार  टॉफ़ी पा कर , अपनी फ्हराक की छोटी-छोटी जेबॆए भर  लाती  ... दोपहर को नाना के संग ताश खेलती,  और कागज के गुलाम- बादशाहों  की  अनोखी दुनिया में खो कर, नाना की गोदी के तकिये पर,  सर रख कर सो जाती ... शाम को चाचा- चाची और मामा-मामी,  वाले दीदी-भईया के संग  लुक्का-छुप्पी  खेलती, और सब को भाग- भाग कर पकड़ लेती ... आज भ...
