The ethics of injustice!!

 "Recent news reports have detailed the arrest of a fraudulent couple. The woman underwent plastic surgery to conceal her identity while perpetrating these illegal activities. They have been apprehended and will now face imprisonment.

However, a profound question lingers: How many individuals live a life of luxury built on deceit, escaping detection throughout their entire existence? If such individuals exist, what valuable lesson can we glean from their actions? They experience a life of unparalleled opulence, enjoying every conceivable luxury – a life most people could only dream of. So, even if they are eventually caught, does it truly matter? They have already savored a life of extravagance financed by ill-gotten gains. A mere fraction of these individuals are brought to justice, while the majority continue to enjoy their ill-acquired wealth without ever facing consequences. How then do the principles of karma and the concept of divine justice reconcile with this reality?

When individuals engage in dishonesty and reap rewards, while those who adhere to ethical principles endure hardship, it raises profound questions about the nature of good and evil. How does one motivate oneself, or inspire the next generation, to embrace goodness in the face of such apparent imbalance? It's tempting to question the very existence of a higher power, demanding an explanation for this perceived injustice.

My logical mind struggles to comprehend this disparity. How can I instill in my children the importance of virtue when it seems to bring more suffering than pursuing one's desires? I yearn for an encounter with the divine, a chance to engage in a profound debate until I receive satisfactory, logical answers, if such a being truly exists."

Thoughtful lines!!

 There is always some truth behind

                 "Just kidding"

There is always some knowledge behind 

                 " I don't know"

There is always some emotions behind 

                  "I don't care"

There is always some pain behind 

                  "I am okay"

The illusion of support!!

"I remember hearing Indira Nooyi speak about the challenges of balancing family, children, and a career. She graciously thanked her supportive husband, family, and colleagues for her success. That resonated deeply with me.

Reflecting on my own journey, I realize I didn't receive that kind of support. My husband, parents, and in-laws struggled to understand the unique demands of motherhood. My project unexpectedly shifted, requiring relocation or significant skill upgrades. I desperately needed to work from home but was denied that option. When I finally decided to quit, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, throwing my life into further uncertainty.

This series of events shattered my hopes of maintaining a fulfilling career. I felt like I failed, not because of any personal shortcomings, but due to the lack of support from those I expected to rely on. It became painfully clear that my happiness was not a priority for anyone else.

Perhaps this was a test, a way for the universe to show me how unprepared I was for motherhood. Maybe I was seeking suffering, a consequence of my own desires.

Now, I don't yearn for much. I work, but the joy is gone. I question whether fulfilling my desires would truly bring me happiness.

Tum jo itna muskura raho ho, Kya gam hai jisko chupa rahe ho!!

 "Tum jo itna muskura raho ho, kya gam hai jisko chupa rahe ho" This line, quoted by a classmate on a photo I shared after my wedding, continues to haunt me. It accurately reflected my reality – I was indeed masking my pain with a forced smile.

I deeply regret not being bolder and expressing my true feelings. I prioritised the fragile hope of my marriage succeeding, neglecting my own emotional needs. Now, I acknowledge that this approach did not serve me well.

I urge everyone to prioritize their own well-being. While breaking societal norms may invite criticism, no one truly understands the depth of your suffering. The internal struggle between "good" and "bad" often paralyzes us, leading us to live for others instead of ourselves.

While being kind is important, it shouldn't come at the expense of your own happiness. Boldness, though challenging, can lead to a more fulfilling life. Unfortunately, this lesson often comes too late.

When we constantly prioritize others, we inadvertently squander precious time, chances, and opportunities. And one day, we may find ourselves regretfully alone.

Reflecting on my life, I've identified actions I wouldn't repeat, providing valuable lessons for the future. However, pinpointing precisely what could have led to a different outcome remains elusive.

Wish you a very happy Makar Sankranti!!

Surrendering my Karma's!!

Forgive me, God, this life, I cannot see,

Its purpose veiled, though I strive constantly.

Each dawn, I pray for karma, pure and bright,

Yet anger flares, a consuming light.

My challenges, a source of endless strife,

Instead of growth, ignite a burning fire.

Helpless I feel, a ship adrift at sea,

No respect for myself, it seems to me.

Did you create this life to cause me pain,

These emotions deep, a constant, surging rain?

I hide my wounds, though tears may freely flow,

Struggling to believe your will must somehow grow.

The meaning of Life!!

"I often find myself grappling with a sense of frustration, questioning the divine architect who designed this peculiar life questionnaire. It seems that no matter how I approach the challenges presented, the answer, the solution, always eludes me. I feel as though I've been handed an exam paper completely outside the scope of my studies.

I recall an incident from my school days: a simple essay topic, yet I produced a complex, unconventional piece. My teachers, while acknowledging the effort, awarded me third prize, deeming my response 'inappropriate for my age.' Life, and the essay God has assigned me, feels similarly out of place, not necessarily difficult, but certainly unconventional. I could have chosen not to engage, but that wouldn't have brought me contentment, nor does it now, despite my prolonged efforts.

This life throws constant, seemingly unproductive challenges my way. What am I striving for? Who am I trying to impress? What is my true purpose? And why does this purpose fail to inspire me?

I feel a suffocating sense of rebellion. I welcome challenges, but these seem pointless, offering no meaningful growth. Why am I compelled to perform actions that feel incongruous with my inner being? If I cannot satisfy the divine within with my answers, how can I expect validation from anyone else?

God, please cease these humbling experiences. I surrendered long ago. Please take the reins, guide me away from this perplexing existence, and allow me to pursue something, anything, that feels meaningful to me."

An unexpected encounter!!

"Today, as I settled into my flight, I was startled to see a familiar face in the row ahead. It was him – the man I met fifteen years ago, during a rather awkward arranged marriage meeting.

It was a time I wasn't ready for commitment. My mother, eager to please his family, insisted I attend, despite my reservations. My brother's advice – "Just go, eat, and come back" – still makes me chuckle.

I remember feeling overwhelmed at the time. He expressed a desire for his wife to prioritize her career, a stark contrast to my own desire for flexibility and the freedom to prioritize family.

The meeting ended abruptly when he pressed me for an immediate decision. I was taken aback by his impatience and politely declined, deferring to my parents.

Seeing him now, a wave of memories washed over me. I couldn't help but reflect on the past and offer a silent apology for my rejection.

This unexpected encounter has left me pondering the twists and turns of fate. Why this encounter now? What is the significance of this chance meeting after all these years?

It's a reminder that life is full of surprises and that the paths we take, both chosen and unforeseen, shape who we are today."
