CHOICE

I take pride in the fact that I have read a lot of books and experienced a lot of stuff that I can relate to most situations but no book or experience could have prepared me for losing someone I love. According to the books it’s supposed to hurt…hurt like hell but all I feel is a void. A great, big, fat empty void. I would have picked the physical pain any day of this feeling of emptiness. It seems like all the memories long forgotten choose to surface now to widen the void. I never thought losing someone would be so hard. I thought I was different. I thought I could separate myself from feeling it but it's just too hard.

 Life is full of choices that make you want to question its purpose. I always looked forward to these choices. Saw them as a challenge. The recent choice I had to make was the worst I ever made till now and it makes me repeatedly want to turn back time and wish it had never happened. I lost a loved one to that and I wonder was it really worth it? 

We all make choices in life but the hard thing is to live with them. I made mine and I will regret it for a while but I hold on to the hope that one day maybe I’ll see it in a different light and that day I’ll start to finally heal.

For now I think I’ll take comfort in a quote I came across… “There is a universal truth we all have to accept whether we want to or not. Everything eventually ends. Be it autumn, a good book or parting with an old friend. Even though I’ve disliked endings… leaves fall, you close the book and you say goodbye. That day was one of those days for me…that day I said goodbye to everything that was familiar, everything that was comfortable. I am moving on… but just because I am leaving and it hurts there are some people who are a part of us they’ll be with us no matter what. They are our solid ground, our north star and the small clear voices in our heart that will be with us…always.

Cloony The Clown

                                         by Shel Silverstein

 

I'll tell you the story of Cloony the Clown
Who worked in a circus that came through town.
His shoes were too big and his hat was too small,
But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all.
He had a trombone to play loud silly tunes,
He had a green dog and a thousand balloons.
He was floppy and sloppy and skinny and tall,
But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all.
And every time he did a trick,
Everyone felt a little sick.
And every time he told a joke,
Folks sighed as if their hearts were broke.
And every time he lost a shoe,
Everyone looked awfully blue.
And every time he stood on his head,
Everyone screamed, "Go back to bed!"
And every time he made a leap,
Everybody fell asleep.
And every time he ate his tie,
Everyone began to cry.
And Cloony could not make any money
Simply because he was not funny.
One day he said, "I'll tell this town
How it feels to be an unfunny clown."
And he told them all why he looked so sad,
And he told them all why he felt so bad.
He told of Pain and Rain and Cold,
He told of Darkness in his soul,
And after he finished his tale of woe,
Did everyone cry? Oh no, no, no,
They laughed until they shook the trees
With "Hah-Hah-Hahs" and "Hee-Hee-Hees."
They laughed with howls and yowls and shrieks,
They laughed all day, they laughed all week,
They laughed until they had a fit,
They laughed until their jackets split.
The laughter spread for miles around
To every city, every town,
Over mountains, 'cross the sea,
From Saint Tropez to Mun San Nee.
And soon the whole world rang with laughter,
Lasting till forever after,
While Cloony stood in the circus tent,
With his head drooped low and his shoulders bent.
And he said,"THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT -
I'M FUNNY JUST BY ACCIDENT."
And while the world laughed outside.
Cloony the Clown sat down and cried.

Snippets!!

I find these amazing quotes that i will be putting up under the heading favorite quotes. today was my test in Coimbatore and now it seems like i have five days to make the biggest decision in my life! I need to figure out where I'll be studying and be sure about it with no regrets and all i have is five days! guess I'll think it as miss-glass-half-full would think...at least i have five days!:) Also i always thought best friends were people you could talk to about everything...obviously not. It seems like people love making distinctions. All i say is fine by me but think twice before yelling at someone when you are put in the same exact position! love my relatives...they seem to be the most supportive with the exception of my sis! she is an amazing person and thought i might yell, fight and say i hate her at the end of the day she is one of the few people who will stand with me till i reach the finish line!

THE DECISION

It’s that time of the year. We have to make a decision that could make or break our lives. Yes, it is choosing the path to a career we may do for the rest of our lives. Reaching this particular point myself I have realized that there is no easy way out. Also it is particularly hard when you choose to deviate from the careers a science student is expected to choose i.e. medicine, engineering etc. it is especially hard when you lose out on the support of a parent. I know because I am going through the same situation where my dad is totally against me trying for mass communications as a career. In fact he is so much against it that he would rather I drop a year and work towards a career path I abhor- medicine. I never had an aptitude for science and when finally it came down to making a choice I picked the one that would make me happy and something that I would be good at. It is really disappointing for me to see the people I care about being pushed in directions that they do not want. They do it for the sole purpose of pleasing their parents. I think that that is really, really sad. If they tried a little bit harder they could actually do something that they like instead of spending a whole lifetime doing something they hate. I am very particular about medicine. I consider it to be a very noble profession and it is really disheartening to see people treat it so casually. Taking it up when they do not even like it! It is a profession where you literally have a hold over a person’s life. Do you really want to play with that? If you are confused about medicine then maybe that’s your first clue that you shouldn’t take it up. So think about it. Do you really want it? At the end of the day it is going to be you who will live with the decision and you cannot blame anybody else. So choose wisely people… don’t be rash and don’t be emotional. Be objective and evaluate your strengths and weaknesses and most importantly you should never come to regret.

AN INHUMANE WORLD!

Childhood is a period of innocence and wonder which every child deserves. I wish it was true in today’s world. A child of five years who should be playing with toys and should not be worried about anything except falling and bruising oneself is lying in a hospital with various tubes and other medical apparatus on her fighting for her life. It is almost a feeling of deja vu but in this case it is even more disheartening to see that the vehement protests and various other promises made by the public and the authorities remain unfulfilled. The sheer brutality itself makes one shudder as to how can a fellow human being sink to such bestial levels as to destroy a child’s life? To add insult to injury come the charges made by the parents of the child. If they are true it just goes to show how the people who are there to protect us would sell us out without blinking. Such callousness and insensitivity is unimaginable but here we are being shown evidence of it. How can a person look into the eye of an anguished parent and even dare to suggest that they should be thankful their child is alive instead of lodging a complaint? Oh did I mention the compensation offered by the police for the trauma suffered by the kid? 2000 rupees for expenses the parents will have to go through to treat their child, 2000 rupees to relieve the parents of their suffering and pain, 2000 rupees to compensate a lost childhood!!  Apparently this is quite reasonable to the police people who the parents sought help from. Also slapping a woman for protesting against this brutality is reasonable in the name of honoring the uniform one is wearing. I mean what on earth is wrong with people? Is it so easy to act like an animal that has become deranged? Here I would like to mention an apology to all the animals for using that metaphor! I am sure that animals have a better sense of ethics and values that human beings like the police officers and the rapists can never even dream off! Time and again the whole system is made mockery of and does anybody honestly care? Why is it that we wait for such things to happen and then take to the streets protesting? A suspension for the police officers who acted brashly and abused their power is not adequate. “Regret” expressed by the prime minister is not adequate. Statements issued by various politicians are not adequate. Playing the blame game is just even degrading to an already contemptuous behavior. Will all these actions affect the child lying in the hospital? It is as if a cruel joke is being played on the public. Such a tragedy taking place just a few months after the rape that shook the capital shows how lax the authorities have been. Such a vicious attack on a human that embodies purity and innocence makes me agree with a tweet that said such attacks make me wish the Mayans had been right.
