Letters- A sad confession...

                     Does it look like a cliche topic? Yes it is... I intentionally wanted it to be cliched... And I'll tell you the reason in the meantime... For now let the post carries a theme as the topic sounds...Totally a miserable tone... 

                     A friend of mine pointed this strongly and it urged me to share my opinion about letters...  

                    

                    Actually, most of our generation boys and girls are slightly pity, for not experiencing the beautiful feel of dealing with Letters which our parents and grandparents might have gone through once... You can ask either your parents or your friend's parents about the feel of Letters, and you will get a plenty of interesting tales that a writer could possibly make best sellers... 

      

                    A letter is not just something simple as the name suggests... Writing a letter is not just taking care of  'to' and 'from' addresses and not forgetting to point the 'subject' ,as our schools had taught us...  They are not just old fashioned means of communication... They aren't the tool of non-technical people of today... 

                     Most of the letters start with salutation "My dear ____". People meant it when they penned down it.. But these days when some one uses "dear" over emails or chats, most often they are either being abstract or the person hearing them take it as nothing-so-important about it...   

                     While writing a letter, people use to gather most valuable points to put down... They longed to write letters in most attractive manner to grab their loved one's attention... And that had lead to the birth of many soulful and lovable writers those days... Though not writers, they had been good humans... I am not blaming that today's people are in-human... But relationships, conversations, confessions, etc through internet had caused lack of basic human feelings and deeds towards another humans... Those days a person's collection of letters can say his/ her character well... But these days, a chat history always remains to be a mystery... Letters spoke out the thoughts inside the heart... They weren't filled with threads and threads of silly reasons for fights, misunderstandings, chaos, hatred etc... As far as the letters were alive, one soul's love towards another soul hadn't been so difficult as today...      

                      Imagine this... "You are a lean guy with mediocre height, with pale complexation... You are probably neither so-called handsome one nor a bad one to label... You are sitting on your balcony in silence... You are eagerly waiting for a letter to be delivered to your house… Precisely for a reply for your last letter from a girl who means a lot to you... A reply that you expect to reveal about something for which you longed the most... You are looking at the street restlessly for any sign of post man's arrival...You seems bit nervous... The wind is cold and it blows on your face that make you realise the chillness of the climate… Sun is off the sight and you could only see dark clouds curling up above your head… You feel like they are contributing perfectly at this time for your mood…  

                     Many thoughts are floating same as the clouds getting curled up in your mind...  'What if she think that I meant that point in a wrong way?' or What if she had took it as a thing that she was longing to confess?' , ‘Would she have replied for my letter?’, ‘Would she accept? ’ , ‘Did I made a mistake? ’, ‘Should I have elaborated a bit?’, ‘What did she meant by that line in her last letter?’ , ‘Does she feel the same way I feel about her?’... With all the thoughts running up, you feel a chill spine running through your back… A feel of satisfaction… A relief of dropping some burden from the heart… Now you are ready to face any kind of reply… Making up your mind out of these thoughts, you are lifting your head up on the sky, after which you hear your calling bell sound, some one in front of your door saying, ‘Sir Post…’ ”

                   Doesn't that sounds like we all are missing some valuable feelings, emotions, experiences  like these which had been defeated by quick confessions and fast replies, fast heart breaking talks,quick acceptances or rejections, relationships that don't even last for mere fraction of times of these days…   If you want to experience this beautiful thing, try writing a letter for your friend... Write things that you may text them the whole night, all the day... And if you find it difficult to grab the important words or doesn't know what to share through a letter, then please redefine your friendship's terms and conditions... Give the letter to your friend in hand, ask them to reply for your's and wait for it... If you like the experience, then go on continuing this practice... I bet you would be amazed to read and write stuff about your friend or lovable ones...  

                   Most of the great people’s autobiographies are taken from their hand written letters only… I don’t know how many of us going to have so-called autobiographies that going to inspire our upcoming generations…In those days more than posted letters, unposted  letters do speak many truths… Do reveal many secrets… 

                    At one side, saving trees by avoiding usage of papers are really appreciable fact…  But that's is why I said this post is a sad confession… Some things in life are meant to be missed forever even after we know that they make us feel good… For the fact that, it may bring goodness in someone else’s lives…    

                   

My Learning Theory!!!

                       It is always amazing to learn something and do what we learnt and again learn from what we did and do what we learnt from past experience. Life without learning is like an amusement park without a Roller Coaster. Learning will complete the purpose of our life. Every living beings use to learn different things by different ways. One’s learning strategy may not help other. Let me share some of my thoughts and experiences on how I learnt few skills in my life.

 Here I am not intended to let the readers understand the fact that “Determination and Desire can help us achieve any thing.” Instead I want to convey some information by which they can hold their determination strongly and live their life with desire. Learning doesn’t get accomplished only by gaining knowledge. It gets fulfilled only if we apply what we learnt.

No matter what Barriers stand in your way, Never lose sight of your goal.

                   I want to pin out an Interesting story taken from Mahabaratham,

One of the Great epics of Ancient India.   

             Once there were Five Brothers. Five Great Legends who ruled all over India those days. During their Teenage days they have been trained for Archery Skill which would be useful during the war. Arjunan was one of the five brothers and he is well known for Archery skill in his later days. Dhronachariya was the teacher for Archery Classes and he too was an Archery expert.

One day During the training Dhronachariya asked one of his students to aim an eye of a bird which were sitting at the branch of a tree.  That student took his bow and arrow and aimed at one of the eyes of that Bird. Now Dhrona asked

What you see?

Student replied “I see a tree, a branch in that tree, leaves in that Branch, a bird sitting in that Branch  and  its eyes.”  

Dhrona smiled and asked Arjunan to aim an eye of that bird.

Now Dhrona asked Arjunan

What you see?

Arjunan replied “I see an eye of a Bird.”

Dhrona  tapped Arjunan’s back and praised him for his attitude.

May be Arjunan’s desire towards his learning process had lead a path for him, becoming a Great archer.  

        When I was around 15 years old, I got drastic interest towards Shaping up my  body and wanted to achieve masculine structure. Once I started running towards my desire to achieve well built body, first problem I faced was my studies. Besides I have had to accept the pain. Working out is not an easy task though at the age of 15. Some other problems also I faced which made me feel like “Why the hell I need to do this?”, “What I am going to get by running behind this desire crazily?”. But  What drives me to continue running towards my desire and what make me feel determined is the pride which I would feel after I accomplish the goal.  That is the only reason that pushed me to achieve things.

As the quote says, when someone is determined about something, only way to keep up their determination is to cut all the craps that stands in their way and focus on the goal. The Goal which they want to accomplish. The Goal which they were determined about. The Goal which brings real Happiness in themselves. 

Don’t wait for your Ship to come in,Swim out to it.

Two Boat Men

Before we get started let me tell you short story. Precisely, shorter than short.

             There were 2 Boat men getting ready to go into the sea for Fishing. They both had known that Cyclone would be coming soon. Despite they went on and got stuck at the middle of the sea and the GPS which they brought to communicate doesn’t have signal and so they were not able to contact the coast guards...They both realised that sooner or later, Due to the effect of the cyclone their boat is going to get upside down...  

Now they have only  2 choices… Either Jump into the sea and swim unless they find a Shore(Though both the Boatmen knows that the waves will further take them deep into the sea)…  or wait for any other ship to come  for Help. Second choice may not  guaranty their lives because the boat was small and they were prone to death . One Boat man decided to stay in the boat unless he gets any help while other  decided to jump  into the sea , swim and  find the Shore. There may be 2 results based on the decisions.  Either Boat man who decided to swim and save himself will become safer soon than  the one who decided to stay…  Or Both will die…

                  If people have an attitude like “I got talent, I am waiting for an Opportunity to prove myself” or “I don’t know whether I have talent or not, I need an Opportunity to Understand myself”, then I would say they are Hitting on the iron, which is of no use. There is nothing like Opportunities that will knock your door and say “Come on, use me”. They are meant to be created by our self. If we miss this opportunity, we can avail another opportunity, another one, again one. Opportunities are available unless we stop trying to find it.   

         A simple dating technique will apply for the life. If we wait for our crush to come to us and ask for a date, then He/ She may get busy with any other. May be Funny , but it’s the fact.    

         

Always Desire to learn something useful

                                                          -Sophecles

               I divide people’s life into 2 general category. One is who live their life learning something new every day and enjoying it. Another one is enjoying the life without learning anything new. 

 

       Life Without learning anything new is like a digging a coal mine continuously in a place where there is no need of electricity or any other uses of coal… Life would be incomplete and unreasonable than…

        Learn something and enjoy from what we have learnt or enjoy the life and let us learn something from what we have enjoyed…    

           

           

A Creative man is motivated by Desire to Achieve.

                                                                                    -Ayn Rand

               When I say Creative man, I didn’t mean person who have lots of creativity in mind. It is for people who have got the desire to achieve something in life. They don’t need to be Creators. Today’s desires will be tomorrow’s creations. Primary need to achieve great heights or develop any skills is to have a strong desire and sticking tight to the desire at any cost. A Creative mind can only be motivated by Desire to achieve things in life, not by the desire to win others.

                       

            In 2012 when I started writing, I was nothing. I was not even able to write a single paragraph  that is worth reading. I got no talents. Don’t know anything about writing. Only thing I had is desire to achieve. I am not trying to point that I am creative. But the desire that I got that day had helped me improve my skills.  Helped  me to learn many things about writing.  Droved me to read many books and Refine myself. When I wrote my 1^st Poem it was awful. I myself could not read it. When I started my first short story , I got dumb stuck at 1^st line. I didn’t know how to start? , Where to start?, What to write? Etc. Desire is the only thing that has been with me for these days and it was the reason I started enrolling in Online Courses and it is the reason for development of  my so called “Writing Skill” by which I am able to write an essay today.

                 As writers we have many things to grab from outside and accomplish our desires. As a person we have many things to learn which can help us accomplish our goals towards our life. Only thing which differs is the way of Learning. We all are writers already, by some reason. Only thing which signifies one writer from other is the way of learning. Every one of us has unique stories… Either do something that worth writing or write something that worth reading…
