Dillusion!

Soliloquy, dillusion,illusion,apparition, god, angel and all other such abstracts and non-abstracts form the building blocks of the life of an artist. An artist, what defines an artist? Is it the art that he works upon or the person himself. It is never easy to define an artist. Everyone is an artist, hence one can define an artist in a million of possible ways and that is what makes it so very difficult. In easy and simple terms one can define an artist by the manner that person discovered his art.

Now, why dillusion? An art is nothing but a dillusion and the artist, a dillusioner. The artist tries to create a dillusion be it with the help of his painting or music or dance. An artist can create a tranquil atmosphere and when he wishes he can send you to a dimension of devastation and destruction.

Everyone, right from the richest man to the poorest man in this world is an artist, the richest man knows the art of managing his riches on the other hand the poorest man knows the art of survival despite being the unluckiest one. 

Nature !

There is so much equality in nature that even when wind blows you will not notice even a pinch of partiality in it. The trees decide whether the leaves will wave or not, each and every leaf gets the taste of the wind, sunlight is also distributed equally, for those leaves which don’t get the light they might blame their fate, on the other hand those leaves are blessed with something new. Adaptation is the biggest blessing of any living organism, be it a tree or a human being. In places where there is a possibility of lesser sunlight, trees are taller so that they can get enough sunlight for photosynthesis while in places where there is less water you will find cactus. Adaptation happens with necessity; this is what we humans don’t understand. Adaptation, evolution and survival are all interrelated. We, despite being so much evolved and developed, don’t understand the laws of nature. Nature teaches us the laws of distribution and equality. For past thousands of years we have learnt nothing and hence inequality prevails. If we start following the laws of equality of the nature then one day we as an unit will become as beautiful as our mother earth.  

Fear !

Fear occupies a space in the heart of every living being in this ecosystem. Fear is nothing but a being's own creation. Let us think about ourselves, we are considered the most intelligent living beings as we know every possible way to survive in this ecosystem. Every member of the ecosystem has something to be afraid of, the smaller member is afraid of getting eaten up by a larger one where as the larger one is afraid of not finding a smaller one. We on the other hand don't have to worry about such things; we cultivate our own food, shelter and whatever else is needed for survival.

If we human beings are so much capable that we can easily do things which will help us to survive, then why be afraid of anything? Actually, the thing is we are the creators of our own fears, there are billions of human beings on this planet and there might be a possibility of a billion types of fear. However, fear can be classified mainly as a feeling of losing something or someone. Usually when a person is very much attached to something or someone, the person starts developing a feeling and that is what defines fear. A person is very much afraid of losing his or her belongings like his house, car, might be a wrist watch, these are some common things. When we go deep, if a person loves someone very much he is afraid of losing that person. 

This beautiful thing, abstract thing, called attachment is the main cause of fear. Sometimes you realize it very late that you are attached to something or someone and later when you realize it, you start becoming insecure and insecurity is one form of fear which is most common with the youth.

The only thing that will help you to get of this state of fear is giving up all forms of attachment, that does not mean that you will have to become a monk, one can give up all forms of attachment and lead a life as a normal human being. If someone has something in excess, he can give the excess to someone who needs it, that does not make him a monk and still he gives up attachment and fear has no space.  

Abstain from 'dis' !

Everyone wants to live with ease but when you add a 'dis' to this ease, you know what happens. You don't want to lead a life carrying many diseases, and once this disease becomes a past tense, you become past tense too. You want a life of ease, where you are able enough to do anything but when a dis is added to the ease, simultaneously a dis is also added to your being able to do anything and everything and slowly it becomes a 'disable', and when this becomes a past tense, you are permanently disabled.

How to stay away from this 'dis'?

It is pretty much easy to stay away from 'dis', treat this dis as a person whom you don't want to interact with. This is the best thing one can do, as we human beings are masters at avoiding someone. The other thing you can do is take care of the present by concentrating only on the present and by forgetting about the past which will slowly pave the way for a bright future, in case you had taken proper preparations in your present. 

The Unknown!

You reach a stage in your life when you become unknown to yourself, neither you are able to do anything nor you are able to decide about anything. Everything that you had written so far in the pages of your life seem to be meaningless and you no more want to be the writer of your own book, you want to give everything up and submit yourself to the almighty. You start to suffocate and every second of your existence becomes a pain, you become restless and you fail to find a way out. When you sit alone somewhere, you are surrounded by the noise of your thoughts and when you leave, you find that not even your shadow is with you. You are all alone, you become the unknown.

People don’t take much time to become unknown but when you become unknown to yourself, it becomes really difficult to survive and to recover from this kind of situation takes a lot of heart. Even if you gain all your strength you will not be able to find out where to start from, when you don’t know the starting point of the race, it is next to impossible to finish the race.

You are the most precious thing you can ever have, please do not lose yourself and please do spend some time loving yourself. Once you lose yourself and become unknown, you will become the most confused person in this universe.

Understanding or Compromise !

Some words of the English dictionary are defined by life and the life led by several beings. Such words are understanding, compromise, sacrifice and many such words with great amount of depth. "Life is full of compromise,"we must have heard about this phrase, what is the truth behind this phrase? Let's find out. According to the definition provided by google, compromise is often associated with some kind of a dispute, in real world it is not necessarily so. Compromise is not always a result of a dispute or the end product of a dispute, it is something which happens between two or more people in which one or both of them are understanding the situation.

Life is a complete package of everything one desires or wants to abstain from, be it disputes, love, happiness, money, desire for something more and what not. One can never foretell about the things that will occur, the only weapons to prepare yourself and stay safe are those of compromise and understanding, as you never know who and what will help you at difficult times. Moreover it is not always about the self, sometimes you have to do things which can make others' happy as well. 

You can take the examples of the biggest of the personalities in the world, somewhere or the other they have had to compromise something or settle for an understanding or an agreement which took them to the place where they are today. You can not wage a war against the world if they are not listening to you, instead you can try to understand them and find ways in which they will understand you.   

Humans please!

This might seem to be a notice or an eye opener or simply a request to the most intelligent living beings that is the human beings to open their eyes now as it is high time. People have forgotten about something called conscience which they very much have but are not ready to use it.
People are getting confused, have lost their rationality and are suddenly getting bewildered with the events which are happening in and around the world but are not ready to take any kind of measures. The best thing which we are doing now is posting status and changing the display pictures, is it really creating any difference? I don't think so. " A pen is mightier than a sword, " this is what motivated me to write today and I know that this is not going to create any difference as well.
We should now question the political leaders, the so called super powers and all the remaining powers, whose powers seem to be exaggerated to a great extent now, about what are they waiting for, are they waiting for a few more deaths? Few speeches and harsh words by great leaders will not kill the sinners, harsh actions will do.
The terrorists are outcasts, they don't represent any religion nor do they fall under the biological or scientific name homo sapiens, they are animals, animals which feed on their own breed, you can call them cannibals as well if they are humans but they believe in killing, butchers would be better. Terrorists who are driven by adrenaline rush should not be the reason of communal riots in the world, they are not a part of any religion and if they are they should not be.
Human beings please get united, unity has got a lot of strength.

Going back to the womb!

Is it really possible to go back to the womb? Well practically it is not but virtually it is.
Durga Pujo, it meant something else in the beginning, it is after coming to  Kolkata and staying here that it all changed. Kolkata, a partially busy metropolitan and a considerably crowded place turned out to be a completely different place altogether during the Durga Pujo. It was as if lakhs of people have come out of the womb of mother Kolkata and there is no one to control the birth rate. Fully grown adults and kids and what not took birth during those five or six days.
One will get the idea of the population boom in Kolkata only during the Durga Pujo, and Kolkata becomes the Mother Mary who gets blessed with so many children every year during the Durga Pujo. Kolkata opens the gates of the womb and the children don't need the help of the doctors to be pulled out of the sacred place.
When you move out on the roads you suddenly realise that you have been blessed with so many brothers and sisters that you can only see their heads on the roads, sometimes it becomes tough for you to walk around. Roads at those times are devoid of vehicles, only human engines emit carbon dioxide on all five days.
This festival brings rather gives life to the metropolitan and gives an opportunity to Kolkata to become a Mother once again and give birth to so many people who care for the place, who turn out to love this place more than their work.
The sad part is, five days pass without giving any application to Mother Kolkata and by the time Mother realises it all the children get back to the womb, as in they vanish. The streets become comparatively empty and you fail to see only heads. All you can see is thousands of vehicles which have only one thing to give and that is pollution. You start seeing all those faces again who are enchained to the same enslaving jobs, they start following their routine and forget about Mother Kolkata. Mother becomes a mere place to stay again, a place which gives them food and shelter and a means to work.

Cover is just a disguise !

The phrase, "one can not judge a book by it's cover," will always be true and it is not only applicable to books and novels, it applies to a human being as well. One can never read faces and tell everything about a particular being be it a human or any other being. A person should be naive enough to express himself  or herself on the very first day, knowing someone and letting the conscience do the task of making perceptions requires time and change also depends on time; by the time you would be sure enough that you have known someone that person might have changed but the outlook would have remained the same, isn't it? This is the only role of the cover, which acts as a disguise. A smile, a drop of tear,a grin is all it takes to create a cover,

One day you land up on a completely unknown place where all you can see is unknown people and you don't have an idea of what to do. You reach your workplace and you find someone who turns out to be a good friend of your's, without paying much heed you too get carried away. Wouldn't you ask a question to yourself," how can someone be so friendly with me without even knowing me?" As I always mention, change is the only thing permanent and time is it's fuel, as time passed you too enjoy the company of that person and you forget to use your conscience. After few days you realize that you were just a pawn and you didn't even allow your conscience to read the book, you just went by the cover. once it used to be.'bhai- bhai' and now it was,'bye-bye'. That is the time when you realize that you had committed a very big mistake only by going by the cover as it did not take more than a month to change from, "bhai- bhai to bye-bye".   

Corporate mirage !

 

Everyone covets to be a part of the corporate world, some people even think that they have been destined for that. The word corporate sounds so cool and prestigious but once you get an opportunity to experience that life you get the true taste. Everything in this world has got two sides, the brighter side of the corporate world is that you get to know and understand people, you develop the ability to judge people and start abstaining from the practice of believing in fairy tales.

Why is the corporate world a mirage? It looks like the most beautiful thing in the world and something which you desire but the closer you get to it the harsher it gets, slowly you realize that you have been ignorant all this while and when you realize that, it gets too late. 

By the time you realize how late it is, your thirst increases and you are entrapped. Every human that you find in that world is like a tree, which is just a part of the mirage. Once you will be inside that world, there will be temptations to stop you and once you become the part of that miragical society you will no longer want to get out of it. 

Desire for anything ignites the fire within you to do anything, but be careful before you desire for something. Many people will treat this article as an ironical shit, but the truth is, there is always some truth in any kind of a story.

Script!

What do you understand by a script? Script is a routine, which you can afford to unfollow but you don't. Is life based on a script? No, life is the most unpredictable form of a story which can never be based upon a single script. You can turn various phases of life into scripts but a single script will never be able to define your life.
Can you go ahead and declare that you have got the script your life? Impossible! And you can not break or syllablize this impossible in a smart manner. Somethings are meant to be impossible and no fortune teller has got the ability to hand you the script otherwise the fun and the adventure is over. Life is an adventure, it is not supposed to be a boring script. Well scripts are not always boring, a script for a three hour movie can be fine, but can you be all ears to a script of an odd sixty or seventy years.
