Certain things in life happen, with and without our consent. Our mind and heart indulge is a competition to defeat and hurt each other. Doing and not doing things, cause pain equally intense. What do we do then?
At times we don’t want to fight or talk but the urge to indulge in the conversation, that would surely end in a fight, is very hard to resist and restraining ourselves is even more maddening. ‘No chat’ tends to restlessness and the end of the conversation, leaves you with regret and a feeling to undo everything.
The person we trust the most, ends up shattering it to a million fragments that slowly dissolve in tears. A person who acts protective for you always ends up insulting you is a way that leaves you broken beyond repair. A person who once cried because you were in pain inflicts an unbearable agony to you and turns out to be the reason for your hidden tears. The friends you consider light of your life, with time, dim out and abandon you in dark. You often find yourself alienated in a place you always belonged to.
Looking at old pictures, which had made you laugh infinite times, offer you pain and nothing more. Moisten eyes constantly pray for the past to change and present to reframe. But at the same time, they thank God for teaching a required lesson in time even if it was in the harshest way.
“Sorrows are only eclipses of life. They teach us how to value happiness.”
But at the same time grief acts like the moon as it increases and fades at definite spans of time. Good times too do not last long. They are like dawn and twilight of this complicated life.
Strange! We know people change, things change, situation change still want everything to suit us. Loomed, we always surrender to the strange tricks life plays on us. Disorientation of thoughts and actions is inevitable because life itself is so confused and disoriented. Couldn’t life be simpler and less complicated? Huh….

ReplyDeleteI wish it were a bit more uncomplicated and simple...I wish people were more genuine and caring when we want it the most rather they leave us all alone to suffer...whats the point in coming back when you've already made yourself understand after crying for long and being in pain...you've become numb now isn't it ?? And at moments like these all you feel is wanting to get dissolved into the silence that lingers never to see the light!
ReplyDeleteFriends some are very lucky in this case and won't have had to go through all this at all times...but at least once is something common for many but every time...it's painful so much so that you don't even realize you've become rude, blunt and way to sarcastic than before!
I guess this write up can relate to both of us..and maybe I know who you are really talking about and that's the very reason this write up has come out so beautifully...when things happen to you, its easier to pen it down and they are true too rather than the other way round!
Be happy Varsha...at least now you have some friends in your life to lean onto, to share both your joys and sorrows and I guess you met them after that incident only...consider yourself lucky...at times some people carve just for a friend nothing more and you are lucky to have one! :)
And hey make Rishi read this one he always complains na you don't write articles :)
Take Care,
Your Friend
nice post
ReplyDelete“Sorrows are only eclipses of life. They teach us how to value happiness.”

ReplyDelete@sulekha-thanx a ton....but wish it was love...infatuation love they r all simple stuff...but watever it was its was bad...to have to pay 4 somethin u never did...it certainly hurts...n then confusion leads to agony too...
ReplyDelete“Sorrows are only eclipses of life. They teach us how to value happiness.” I couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteWhat I have learned is, sometimes wrong is the only right...you don't want to but you have to accept it.The situation becomes even complicated if you stick to it...let it go.
Life not simple therefore it is life....if you did not know what is night how can you enjoy the daylight ? if you did not know what is betrayal how can you have the pleasure of trust....its human nature to fall head on heels for little pleasure and small emotions...HUMAN NATURE we are built that way.....great piece of article enjoyed it
ReplyDeletedo visit my blog too when you have time
Thanks for sharing information.
ReplyDeleteDon't know that I will
ReplyDeleteBut until I can find me
A girl who'll stay and won't play
Games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man, solitary man
Johnny Cash song
It is the song of men and women for a long long time.
Your correct that all good things fade in time but also all the bad things in our life fade and we forget how bad the pain was, we just need to let it go
Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
A girl who'll stay and won't play
Games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man, solitary man
@abhishek- hehe....i let go of things long back...:)

ReplyDeleteWeakest Link :)
life is as u look towards the life. it may be easier or harder depends how do u take it. forget what happened live ur present. look around urself u will find many reasons to smile. cheers :)
ReplyDeleteFrom my own personal experiences, from reading and seeing others i have understood that such emotional questions are raised in each on of our lives at some point of time or the other. Its only how v deal with it and make a bridge not a wall out of it determines our strength to go on..
ReplyDeleteand go on v all must cause thats life at d end :)
well written post...hope u get over with whtever u r facing...and emerge as a stronger being!

@rachit-so true...:)
ReplyDelete@some unspoken words-true its all on the way we take it....thanx...:)
ReplyDelete@sara-thanku so much...yeah we all need to move on...n i did get over things but just 4 once we let ourslvs slip n become so vulnrble...
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post I did slip back and somethings I had chosen to forget shot back like a flash. Could very well relate. And I realized that there is no way one can undo them!
ReplyDeleteGood one Vaisakhi :-)
All this often makes me wonder and question, why would I want to get close to anyone, if they all are to go away.
ReplyDeleteHope, I think it is why we still go the full circle and reach square one for a new pal.
Cheers,
Blasphemous Aesthete
@manshaa-:)...thanx...
ReplyDelete@BA-yes maybe its just hope...we keep tellin ourselves things wont happn again n move on...:)
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow!!....totally agree to each and every sentence what you wrote...:)
ReplyDeleteI too feel the same...:)
Good times too do not last long. They are like dawn and twilight of this complicated life.
Sadly, yeah..:'(
Nice question :) ...hehehe..they bang up on your mind..linger for sometime and woosh! they vanish in the thin air between the other things of life..
ReplyDeleteSimplicity and complications go hand in hand i was told this by one of my role model when i asked this question and then i was made to think deep about this and let the conclusion that perspectives play the major role in simplifying or complicating but either of them have to drop now and then to balance life as it is with the whines and laughs :)
P.S.-Have missed so many of your works..hope to catch up soon!
tc
hope you doing well.
@valli-thanx...guess we need to be satisfied wid watevr 'good times' we get n cherish them wen things r not pleasing...:)
ReplyDelete@alicina-hehe ryt questions widout apt answers turn so irritatin....n this is surely one of them...trust me if i ever meet life in person i this question would be my priority n i ll call u as soon as i have the ans forcd out of it...:P
ReplyDelete...maybe yes its all abt balance n the way we deciphr thing...huh...
n glad to see u back...missd u a lot...:)
wow......this write up really made me realise that life is not as simple as it seems to be......there are times and people who turn our lives upside down and we end up trusting dem yet again and again......it is a beauttiful effort on your part and hope that u write many more such articles in d future......
ReplyDelete@apu-thanku so much...:)
ReplyDeleteI completely agree With BA.. :) :) He hit the right notes..just an addition.. why you ever worry about someone leaving you, when you want that person to stay? Just believe in the moment and let nothing come in between, fear is a sin :) :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
@tanvi- hehe fear is indeed a sin...:)))
ReplyDeleteWhite ain't that white without the black.
ReplyDeleteLife is not to be won over but walked by. I believe those times when we fall, and we get up with that bleeding knee, it does hurt but when it fixes, walking is more fun than before. It's like chapters of a book, some are interesting, some boring, some bright, some dark and then there is always the end. Cherish, coz' yours is also one of a kind book. :)
