Is Life Always Worth Living?

     Neither am I sadist nor a depressed soul to come up with such a weird topic to write on!
 I too want to be happy, wish to narrate about the happy times I have always imagine to have and to come up with the the Hollywood movies ending titles -live happily ever after but I don't know why I always end up in everlasting tears, unbearable pain and unforgettable dreading memories.I have tried a lot investigate the reason behind such a miserable condition of my life but have been a sore loser all the times but I won't sit still until and unless I find the reason for the flaws,my smile possess,misery,my life and destiny is into and the unlucky allure ,attracting me into precarious situations,I fall into,knowingly or unknowingly !

   Life is like a road ,sometimes smooth sometimes rough.To assume it will always run according to our wishes, is simply foolishness but to lose all hopes for it to at-least mold according to our desires is being more foolish.Life ain't rocket's science either.Every coin has two faces,both being so indifferent yet constituting up the identity of the coin and so is with life.If it's showing you its bare fangs today then one should wait for the cosy hug that is sure to follow.you just got to be patient for the right moment to come.Life without a purpose is a journey without a destination.With no aim in life,no boundaries to mention your needs,no limitations on your desires and no parameter for your gratification, one can never be happy.


       Sometimes in life the degree of hardships extend to the effect that everything seems to be coming to an end.Hopes,wishes,faith and even desire to live decays.The pitiful and only condition of living this life is, no matter what you face,you got to face it all.Troubles don't knock seeking your society status or your mental status,they just strike.Welcome them with a smile or depression ,is your choice.At times the whole concept of living,doing things even smiling seems to be futile but the truth doesn't goes like that my friend.Life may seem to be the painful experience but with pain comes relief and hope.Hope to live life in a much better way,be happy by doing good to others,peace by appreciating others qualities.It's just a matter of interpreting things from a optimistic perspective.pessism - optism, negativity - positivity, darkness - brightness etc are some antonym pairs which start with negative words but end with positive words.

         Life has been the greatest virtue ever known to human race, the greatest gift by God which comes in so many colorful packages, yet all that we see,are the gray shades, it holds! But the question is WHY? 
Why we humans leave no stone unturned to corrupt God's Angelic plans, and ourselves fall, knowingly all the time, into the pit of self pity, yet blame God, destiny, circumstances for all the frightful happenings in our lives.A student fails a test, blame goes on God, boy breaks up with a girl, God is questioned, failure in business or job, God is held responsible, why?Until when are we going to simply escape the truth, the truth that we, ourselves are solely responsible for whatsoever happens with us.Destiny do plays a role, in certain way but the major part is only and always because of our own past deeds or future planned actions.Putting blame on others won't do anything but simply introduce agony, depression and emptiness in life.Who is it that we are fooling by doing so? Who? None but us, our self! God helps those who help themselves, old but very true.So why not help our own-selves? Why be shy or ignorant of it? Help is always available to those who ask , but have to be careful what you ask for.Asking for things which you are yet not mature enough to receive or capable of attaining is something which only lead you to the grey shades of life.

    Ever thought how human race came into existence? How God came upon with an idea to create man and woman and initiate the whole life cycle? Well yes, it's too complicated to search every basic detail because Google still has certain questions yet to be answered but ever thought how we get a new day everyday and as to who has the control of all the living and non living matter known to us.Sometimes the existence of some superpower is too prominent to neglect but do we science geeks believe all that that fails to make an inverted image on our retina? Do we? Then why not believe in the Supreme Power's existence? I am not touting any religion or God but to taste the real ultimate peace of mind, one should learn to move on from the hollow materialistic things of the world.


     We all wish to be happy but one cannot be happy all the time! Even the thought of being happy every moment induces a sense of unhappiness in our mind.But what actually is the element for happiness? Money ? Love? Power? Fame? Beauty? What..? What is it that takes someone to smile.A real smile, excluding any sadness involved in any deep dark corner of the palpating heart! Many spend their whole life searching for the real thing but many acclaim to achieve it, surprisingly, at a very timid stage of life.Many cases of suicide are reported daily.Talking on moral basis, if you can't give anything, don't even expect to get anything and if you can't help out with the way you have made your life then you have no right to take it either! Because your life isn't only yours..it belongs to the people who gave you your life,your parents, it belongs to the people who make your life, your siblings, friends, strangers etc.So don't ever think of snatching the beautiful life given by others to you from them or God will never forgive you !


           Some people have all the world's comforts yet they complain to be unhappy and claim to be depressed! Is it because till now no one has been able to invent a machine that measures the degree for your pain, anguish and happiness? People allow themselves the luxury of being mad when they are in a position to do so !When one can be happy then why not be it?


    God loves us.Yes he does.We say he gives us troubles but why don't we see the solutions he provides with them?Why only the darker side of the story is most strikingly noticed and the subtle part passes away like an impasse.Spirituality may be sought as one solution for seeking inner minds peace.Having an ideal or idol, to worship infuses divine love in life.God created us and hence he helps us in our very own existence too.All we need is to trust him.Trust in his divine powers, thank him for all the kindness shown and gratitude pondered upon.Why human becomes so adamant that he refuses to believe in someone above him, above the world,above all.Why? Why can't we peacefully follow some orders which we know are for own benefit.God loves us and we should reciprocate his love too.

        To sum up, happiness requires worlds most basic and very easily available ingredients.Find someone with whom you can share your thoughts, your troubles, your happiness and your own self.Find someone whom you can count upon, irrespective of the period going in your life, happy or sad.Try making someone happy,helping someone, calming one's worries, being besides someone at hard times and happiness will come to you.Laughter is the best medicine.Live, Laugh,  make your surroundings and world a better place to live in.Troubles won't leave but at-least facing them with a smile would lessen their pain .Life is definitely a thing to rejoice, a thing to live with dignity and make the people realize this too.Hence I have found the answer,

Hindi Or English ?

Hindi is our mother tongue, we know that but ever noticed what common language we all speak..? The answer is surprisingly English!
Yes it is..!!
Okay you don't believe me..Fine..But you will..after you finish reading this post!!


          India is a multilingual country with some 347 languages respectively.India is not so a big piece of land yet it's southern part is totally different from it's northern part and the same goes for it's eastern part and western part in terms of customs, religion followed, way of living and language spoken.Travel to any part of India and you will come to know the unity of the culturally diversified nation by the warm hosting spirit in every resident of the country but the sight of our mother tongue being neglected by it's people only leaves a gloomy impression on one's mind, at-least me! Ever thought what's the common language that you can communicate with throughout the nation? Ever noticed that it was English that made you communicate with a common man on the road or the cashier of a supermarket in the part of the nation other than where you belong to!


         A few days back I was traveling to Kolkata,the first business capital of the Britisher's in India, a city still intact with the scent of the culture and sophistication that Britisher's brought with them, when they first landed at Calicut. Bengali is the local language of the place, no wonder, but the language with which I was able to communicate with the locals in the streets and the market was..English and not Hindi !They all knew Hindi but not better than English.!! Surprised?? Don't be!! Because there is much more for you to know about the common language being spoken in India.

     Hindi is taught at the primary level in the schools along with the additional foreign language ,taken as mandatory language to be studied by every Indian,Ever thought why we are taught English and why not any other Indian language? Of course Sanskrit might be coming to your mind right now but still that too is taught till class eight ! or class tenth to be precise if you opt it for Hindi! Okay English is popular and spoken in most of the foreign countries but does that mean that we should keep our mother tongue at par? The article is not about scolding people for the usage of English but it's about why not use Hindi as the common language to communicate in the part of the world where it is respected as the national language!

       The article is not about abandoning the usage of English, it's about using Hindi equally with English. In the present society we all judge others by how fluently one can speak English, by the excellent vocabulary he/she possess and how able that person is when it comes to writing, but ever thought why Hindi is never considered from the same point of view? Why is it not that the high elite class considers speaking Hindi a respected act rather than a taboo in their official and social gatherings. Why is that one has to be a good speaker in English no matter how much knowledge he holds for his mother tongue! Why is that one's perfection in English leads to judging one's family status,knowledge and sometimes even you own status! I guess it's high time that we, the youth of the nation should pay attention in bringing back the lost glory, pride and respect of our mother tongue,Hindi, because as said by some political leader( forgive me for not remembering the name I am really bad at politics) "The power of the nation lies in the hands of the youth ".We can always have a command over any other language we feel like learning but at the cost of losing the knowledge of our mother tongue because that would be unfair, not only to the language, we were born to be proud of, but also to one's pride and dignity !

       It doesn't matter what's correct, What matters is what's right ! and I guess the right thing in the present scenario is to leave no stone unturned to return Hindi it's lost pride!
