Most loving and giving but yet ignored!!!!!!!!!!!

How often we ignore the relationships around us? Sometimes we never care and simply walk away as if those relations hold no importance for us. Man's ignorance can be devastating or can be helpful to lead normal life. Our little mind thinks a lot and more thinking means more conclusions and more conclusions means more confusion and process goes on until everything gets so garbled and confused that we find it hard to break free.Well to support my point, I tell you short but sad story of this boy who has been pampered child of his family. He lost one of the most valuable thing of his life and I wish he could understand this loss.

When he was growing up his family provided everything he wished for. His father had visited almost all the countries and finally got settled in big city in Punjab. Everything was going OK until one day boy couldn't pass his 8th grade exams and he met with an negative feedback from all the relatives & friends and it was the major setback to his high school studies.

Somehow he cleared every exams after that and got admission in professional course. His mother was reincarnation of god. I had never seen her yelling at anyone and she used to say " God is great and he knows our hearts and our wishes are take care by by him, only we have to keep faith in his deeds". she wanted her son to be successful just like any mother wants her son to be successful.

One day the boy went missing for 4 days and his family was in trouble. His father did everything to find his whereabouts but no luck. His mother's tears were unstoppable and his sister was numb out of fear. I guess when everything seems impossible, god gives us hope and way to make impossible things possible. On 5th day he called up his family from unknown place and wanted to come home. He came home that day and slept whole day but now he was changed personality. He was careless and family had no value in his life. His mother stopped arguing with him may be she was afraid of loosing him again and I guess he started taking advantage of this relaxation.

This boy adopted disastrous way of living after that incident. He was into drinking, drugs and to make matters worse, started hanging out with bad company. He was behaving as if he wanted to take revenge from whole world for making fun of him when he couldn't’t pass even small obstacle. Definitely he needed help and his mom tried every possible thing to make him happy. It is said," We normally ignore those who are very close to us, ready to do anything for us. His mom was dying every minute seeing her apple of eye getting into wrong track of his life but she didn’t say anything to him because she couldn't’t bear him running away again. She was just living the greatest truth, like we all do, when we love someone, we never want to lose them and for that we even close our eyes to something bad done by our loved ones.

She cried in silence, sometimes she used to talk to me and even today I feel as if I couldn't do much though I used to give her hope for better future of her beloved son. All and all, she was great mom that anyone can be proud of but her bad luck, her very son never cared for her even though she kept showering her love day and night. I still remember her peaceful face and our last chat and soothing hug when I moved overseas. She sneaked Rs 50 note into my pocket and said its a love from your second mother.

The biggest shock that sent shudder to my spine was news of this great mom passing away as she could no longer bear her son falling prey to bad way of living as her dream was better future of her son. Her death was peaceful, one fine morning she couldn't open her eyes. Now this fellow repents day and night but I wish he must have paid respect to his mom while she was alive. If not for his bad behaviour, this great mom would been alive and still loving him all the more.

So question here is why we all are in such a rush of life that we totally ignore people who care for us. All they need is little respect and love for them. I think it’s not that hard to love and value such precious people in our lives.

I request you all to just stop for a while and have a look around, are you so busy with materialistic things that you are ignoring important relations in your lives like you mom, dad, brothers and sisters, grandparents, your loved ones and your friends? I hope none of you have to repent the way this boy has to go through now. I pray this mom’s soul rests in peace and we all learn from this son’s story.

So what you are waiting for – Just take few minutes out in your busy lives to acknowledge the precious people who care for you. It does’t cost anything but your gains will be many fold.

Now pick up the phone and call straight way to your mom, dad, friends and your precious loved one and tell them how much you care for them.

Mind vs Places

Places have great impact on our lives.Places can alter our personality, mind and even body structure. The way we think and behave is governed by places to some extent. Thats why we feel relaxed when we visit any religious place and feel upset where something wrong has happened. I believe places breathe there not like bricks and walls breathe, but the aura of humans who are living or have lived there breathe. Energy or aura gathered by bricks and walls is reflected back somehow and when we stay there that energy or aura clashes with our energy. Four walls which have witnessed the constant fighting, yelling and bloodshed are bound to transmit a negative aura. On the contrary, those places where artists, saints and good souls dwell transmit soothing energy which forces us to go deep into ourself.

And there are some places that turn out negative with course of time because somehting happens to you and you start perceving your surroundings from a different perspective resulting in negative energy. And there are some places which never let you go even if you try hard to run away from those walls. Maybe our mind is obsessed with irrelevant things which never let us think about ourself when we live in those places. We remain busy thinking about what's not important to us.

I had never experinced such kind of situations, but I got a chance to experience it. I used to live in a hostel at Dey street, a tiny room just like a prison cell. Then my brother came down from Auckland to stay with me. I started experiencing bizaare things around me. I felt like I'm lethargic and don't wanna do anything the whole day. I never used to sleep at night and during day time I used to spend most of my time outside. I wanted to run away from that place ,but it seemed that those four walls had chained me and I found it hard to break away. Nohting was going in my favour. I spent one year there and in the end when it was getting from bad to worse , I had to force open from that claustrophobia. Such is the power of places. Those funny places!

When you contruct a house, spare one room where you can sit alone and gather your exhausted energy. Decorate the room with some good indoor green plants, paint the walls with soothing colours like white. Keep some good literature and holy books. A place in there you follow your passionate hobby. Thats your space, your territory and your domain and thats one place you don't want to be invaded.

The world in my wallet

There is an old saying " find a penny, pick it up and all day long you will have good luck". thats how it started. Coin collection is really motivating, it entails patience and time.

I remember my first coin, it was dumped in the attic of my village house. It was an old British India coin and I kept it for a long time and it really motivated me to amass more coins. One day I lost that coin and mood shifted to other hobby like collecting stamps and sketching.

One of my friend offered me a coin and currency note one day and my obsession revived. Whenever I visit her, she gives some sort of currency. I have to go a long way to hoard plenty of coins and currency notes.

If you guys have any spare coins or currency note plz do let me know, in turn a deliciously cooked dinner will be on me :)

happy collecting
