The Pain of being Helpless

It was again the same feeling which pierced through me and I was left again in pain. The pain of being helpless. The pain of unable to understand Why ? Why these innocent people ? Again time after time some few people decide that they want play havoc with lives of people.

Today I was preparing for my Thanks Giving holidays and then suddenly some flashes of news coming and then it just went on and on, it was like a nightmare unfolding and it just went to worst limits I could have ever imagined. I felt helpless when all this was happening, I love my country and is passionate about it. But when these things happen I feel like what can I do ? My homeland, My country is under attack and I am sitting here helpless just hoping and praying that things may get solved. I don't know what to do at this moment. I tried to sleep but again and again same thought comes to my mind , telling me how helpless I am, telling me how human life has lost its value. At this moment I would like to quote a poem again from one of my favorite books May I by Bhupati Das

What did Adam Do

there is a reason for death
there is a reason for life

but what I don't see any where everyday is is same
as the other day where existence just means survival
fighting against dearth of everything

oh god
What did Adam do to deserve such a painful deal........


I would like to beg, plead the people in power to step ahead and cut the roots of terrorism and do away this curse. I know saying must be very easy when I say to do away with this curse but its a high time we pick up the pieces of these puzzles and work towards solving this problem.

God Bless India and those people who have suffered the similar pain of being helpless.

Hope and Pessimisism

We always say pessimism is bad but there is a positive side to it. I am not saying that pessimism is good thing but it is also not a very bad thing rather I will its say only bad. Being a pessimist you always think of worst but if you still have hope left then, you will continue to struggle and move forward but you will be very slow because being a pessimist you always think of worst and prepare for that. so a question comes up, Is it bad to prepare for the worst case scenarios ?

I will say yes and no both. Yes because you have prepared for those so you will have option which you kept for yourself but on the other hand it makes you think to much and you often tend to give too much attention to things which may not deserve.

But an important thing which makes pessimism only bad not very bad is hope. Recently I read few lines of a poet about hope which I would like to quote here from a poem by Bhupati Das:
"I wait for
the tomorrow
that would bring hope and laughter to me

when that tomorrow
turns today
the illusions called hope runs away

I would run after it
stumbling but not falling
someday I would run faster and catch it
the hope "

Here poet is being pessimistic but he is still hopeful, hopeful for a better tomorrow, if tomorrow doesn't comes then with a hope he will successfully achieve his dreams and this hope is what fuels the will to survive and will to thrive.

I hope tomorrow will come with better surprises for me, I hope I will take them on better than how I did today, I hope..............
