Do u believe in these words?

Poo!

I dread it! The chaiwala opposite to my room dreads it……. And if you go on thinking, you’ll find that almost we all dread it!!

Poo! Yes, I’m talking about a bird’s poo! It’s something we all fear if there’s a rope, a wire or a tree above. And more so, if there’s a bird sitting at the moment.

Think of the possible names of the birds and you would find many. Whatever name you think of, its poo practically is only a drop or two, but capable of destroying your whole day. While the colour of a ‘poo drop’ ranges from whitish grey to black, its state is semi-solid and on rare occasions liquid.

People who have already faced the terrible ‘poo drop’ can even get a nightmare of the scene being repeated, whenever they have to stand by the roadside.

Not only could it come upon you from a wire but, on your most unfortunate days it could even drop upon you from an open sky. Oh! And on such occasions, it seems as if the bird had planned a conspiracy against you. Further embarrassing, it feels when the poo drop comes only over you when there were other possible candidates standing around you. After the sad event they do nothing but just give a smile.

But that smile! It’s enough for you to look towards the sky and question the Lord along with the bird – “Why I?” But there’s no answer to come. You have to accept it!

Have you ever faced such an embarrassing moment?

Pursue your dream…… feel the real bliss!

Paulo Coelho, one of the most widely read Brazilian author, says, “The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart suffered when it went in search of its dream.”

It’s tough! It’s really very tough to change your career. And it’s risky too! But as the above saying goes, if one lives in the fear of suffering, their situation is worse than that of the one actually suffering. And again, if one is heading towards his or her dream, they don’t suffer; they enjoy.

In today’s materialistic world, there is no room for terms like heart……. dream…. feelings. And while trying to live in this world, we forget the ambitious dreams we used to see as children. We forget what we wanted to become in those dreams. Or we become too realistic and call those dreams to be stupid. Or, probably we only see the road blocks and give up thinking they can’t be achieved anymore.

But somewhere deep inside, our heart still craves to live the dream, and from time to time, it jolts our brain hard demanding justice. It wants us to wake up and move in the direction of that dream

Not only the heart, actually we too want to move in the same direction. We too want to shout at our boss and everybody,”You keep suffering in this disgusting job. I’m going on to pursue my dream from today.”

But that’s what we just want! We never give it a real try. The wanting regularly crops up within us and dies out finding no reaction from our side.

Why don’t I react? Why don’t I walk out of the job? Or why don’t I at least, check out for the ways to achieve my dream? The only fitting reason is ‘fear’.

What fear? Fear of the unexpected! Even though we want to change our direction, fear of something unexpected to happen pulls us back. We want to jump up and run for our dreams, but the fear calms us down. Our reasoning leads us to all kinds of ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’, thus killing the desire. But it’s only for the time being. And later again, the dream will raise its head only to remind us of the actual suffering we are passing through.

Many of us also think,”Now, let me remain with this job. Someday in future I will pursue my dream.” And that ‘someday’ never comes!

So little weight to our dream! And to the dream that can help us feel true happiness at heart! Is it right?

However much I pretend to be happy, I very well know that I am suffering. And what use is pretending when I am in no plan to ever try for it.

Trying is my duty. At least, I can do that. Achieving the dream or not, is for God to decide. Success is not sure, nor is the failure. Then why do we get pessimistic?

We suffer in the dead-end job unwillingly; but still, continue with it. Why? I tell you, this suffering is far more painful. When you go after your dream, you enjoy even the moments of suffering. So, think before you continue with the job that doesn’t lead to your dream.

Believe in yourself, and start pursuing your dream. You’ll know what true happiness is.

“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it” -Paulo Coelho

Another sucking excuse…..

It’s really pissing when you want to write the story but you are unable to. Today was Friday and I could not prepare the story according to the prompt – “A man aspiring to be a pro bowler loses to his young daughter”.

Actually, wrote it twice on my system and deleted both of them only for the reason that I couldn’t feel confident about the stories being good. The same judge has reborn!

I feel that I would never become good at writing without writting……that’s stupid…everybody knows that. My story was going the way that a man couldn’t get into the right place and his dream to be a pro bowler remained a dream till the day his daughter meets a rich fellow who promises to do the job, only if he would get three fourth of the prize money…….and it had some more thoughts……. but the judge in me sucks. I tell you, “it really sucks”.

I didn’t want to refrain from writing in my blog and there were no thoughts except this – “the sucking judge”.

Now, it is definitely clear to me that by judging I can only fail. And by practicing only will I be able to pass

Anyways, there is more to the reasons. I even didn’t understand the prompt clearly and was afraid of posting something that might be considered stuuuuuupid. Once I see other stories and understand the actual meaning, I will definitely post mine.
