The blind eyes feel too..

When I was 13, I ended up writing a piece titled 'The blind eyes feel too..', not knowing why actually I had written it.
Maybe we get the answers as the time passes!

My friends have always said,
"See, how lovely look those roses red
And those violets there that are so blue."
But I don't understand, can this be true?
I just have no clue
All that I see around is black, so it's said,
Hey! Then what about white, green, grey and red?
How good is it to be dull or really bright?
And I just wonder sometimes
What I really look like.
Oh! Don't tell me - not you - not anybody
I just don't want to feel or know it
I want to actually SEE it.
Yes, I'll love life, God, I'll work hard too
And never will ask for anything new
I'll be good and content with things few
But - only if you make a promise - just one
And also keep it right.
Give me this same life - but only
With some sight - a little light - please,
Give me a little light - the gift of sight.


Now, after being a writer for a little blind boy in an exam, I could here every word of this poem in my ears again, understanding what it feels and why I wrote it.

When he looks up to me, saying, "Didi, I really want to study alot, but my problem comes in the way alot of times. All I wish for is that I'd be able to see someday."
Feeling helpless at this and not knowing what to say to such innocence, I could only say, "You will!"
But, even he could sense how much reality my answer had yet, with a smile he continues to hope.

After this experience I could really feel the meaning of every word of this poem, with great depths!
Indeed, The Blind Eyes Feel Too..

Are we all "be negative"?

Well, I'm just speaking for myself here but I find it's always easier for me to be negative than to be positive all the time.  I'll be reciting some affirmations and then just end up saying "Damnit! My life sucks, my career will suck, my hair sucks blah blah, so much easier".

Complaining all the time just seems so much easier, though we know it doesn't help much. Then what still makes us complain about everything we come across all the time? I think its the approach towards life that matters.

Looking at every failure of ours, as a lesson and not just crying on it all the time, trying to find its positive side.

The other day, I was just talking to my old friend, and I realised that all I could talk about was how screwed up my life was. Crying about everything called LIFE and wanting to end it. 

Be it any occasion, we can't wait to start bashing something - the Government, the Games, corruption..or if we don't get anything, then even the weather. It seems as if GOOD is BORING and BAD is EXCITING!!

We all have the picture that good news is soft..and therefore, the principle of "IF IT BLEADS, IT LEADS" reigns. But what is the reason behind such thinking? Do we ever think about that? No!

The reason is..criticising the things, their negativities, bring better crowd and more gossips! And crying gathers sympathy. So, all in the name of popularity? But, where did we learn all this from? It is from all forms of media! You open up your TV set and all you can find is news flashing about murders, rapes and all negativies, the same is the case with newspapers. Yes, making people aware is necessary but, that doesn't mean thats all they have to come across all the time, does it?

And now the new trend, even the social networking sites! You open facebook, and all you can see is people and their negative thoughts in the form of their statuses, their comments etc. that how hell their life is.

But, do we ever realise that our life is much better than millions of people having even worse problems and still wanting to live, just for the ones they care! 

So, by the end of my discussion with my friend, I realised that there is LOVE everywhere, we just have to open ourselves and feel it! We, surely, will get a reason to appreciate our lives and be positive, then. Be it love for our families, our careers and it goes on.

In the end, we just have to remember, the negatives around you will always try to overpower but, its completely on you, if you let it to. 

Remember, "ONLY IF YOU LET IT"!!!
