Respecting my failures

Failures are one of the mightiest killers of human ego. They torment our human existence and are highly notorious for mutilating self confidence and esteem. In extreme cases it even drives a person crazy to the limits where he finds death a better known refuge than his agonising life.

They comes in various shapes and sizes and can struck anyone anywhere without any warning. Their unpredictibility make them highly ferocious and scary. They are mostly hated and cursed the world over. They have brought down kingdoms and kings, nations and nationalities and civilizations and cultures. They are cruel, reckless and destroyer.

But if we ask ourselves are they really that bad? We will find that they have hidden from us their real nature. They are in reality our greatest teachers. They may teach us our lessons the hard way but they make sure we learn them properly. They repeat themselves over us again and again so that we get our lessons properly and later on they gift us with the success as per our calibre. I consider them an essential part of our existence and development. No success can exist without failures and if you feel that you have no failures then you are not sucessful enough.


My failures also have taught me everything of little bit that I know. They have made me more humane and were always there to make sure I have my feet firmly placed on ground even while flying. They have a major contribution in building my character so I can't help myself respecting them. They were always there with me whenever I had not given my 100 % and sometimes even with my 100% effort to emphasize, dude 100% is really not enough.
If we consider our life as a journey then our failures really represents the road and success is just the guest house where we stay for a while to have rest. We can't stay in the guest house for ever and have to move on the same road and thus failures our the real torch bearers which accompany us always when we travel. They never get back the love and affection they give us still they are always there like a loyal friend and don't mind us enjoying our days and nights with our success.
Well now they don't scare me as they have reavealed themselves to me. I can never be loyal to them but still I know they will be there round the next corner waiting to be with me.
I can just thank them for making me myself...

Morality..

Have you ever pondered why is morality necessary in life? Why our parents want us to be truthful, honest and humble. Why do we hate liars and hypocrites? Why there are numerous stories about the virtue of Good and how every time good wins over the evil in the long run. Are we good because there is an almighty god looking over us and we will be burnt in hell if we do something bad. Are people in general good because they are afraid of God. To me we are more good than evil because that is a logical thing to do. "Good" here i must emphasize symbolizes the greater good of our civilization and human race. It may be relative on an individual basis but on a macro scale being good or having all the positive qualities we hear about is logical and in fact very necessary for the very survival. Imagine a world where its OK to rob your neighbor and bring home their money and goods. With the same logic it should also be OK when one of our neighbors mugged us up. You can clearly visualize ...

What is it being an Indian?

What is it being an India n? What is this thing which I call my mother land... my nation. Why am I told to respect it and love it. What does it represents? Is it just a block of land where I was born , a place whose culture and history shaped my thinking , whose laws and forces protected me and whose system allowed me to be able to write this up here the way I want to.. In Discovery of India Nehru explains that a country is the sum total of the aspirations of its inhabitants. A nation is build by all the social, political ,economic and environmental forces which shapes its behavior and belief systems and thus forms the backbone of its culture. Long ago when Man started his journey from the heartland of Africa he was looking for new places to support the growing population. The humans in next thousands of years spread across the nook and corner of this planet and formed the basis of the nation states as we saw them today. This brings us to the question of Why do we need nations in fir...

Why do I love her?

She turned back and asked, " Why Do you love me? " She said, answer fast or you will be making up words and I know you do it very well. " Don't Think ", she was firm this time. Though I wanted to say something but I kept quiet looking into her deep eyes. I always looked at them when I am lost, tired, worried or sad. They had the zing to pep me up anytime. This time I wanted to ask her eyes to tell me, " Why I love her ?" She closed them and said no this time around you have to answer it from your Heart and I am no longer helping you out. It was tricky now and she wanted the answer. I hold her hand and drew her closer so she could hear my heart beat. I said,"Why don't you listen up for yourself". She smiled and her dark eyes just got bigger and she smilingly said,"How do I know if they are telling the truth" I said I don't know as it no longer talks to me. Its your for so long that I don't remember it being mine ever. I ...
